He s a 20-year-old college student who just wanted to make a point about airline security. He aimed to show how easily someone could smuggle (偷带) weapons onto an airplane.In mid-September, Heatwole hid box cutters, bleach (漂白粉) , matches, and modeling clay (橡皮泥) that look like plastic explosives in the bathrooms of two Southwest Airlines planes. The items were discovered nearly a month later during airplane maintenance inspections in New Orleans and Houston.In an e-mail to the Transportation Security Administration, Heatwole claimed responsibility for smuggling the item aboard in his carry-on luggage. Heatwole, a student at Guilford College in Greensboro, N. C. , had made his point. Now federal law enforcement authorities have a different point to make.Heatwole was charged on October 20 with smuggling weapons onto a commercial airliner. The crime is a felony(重罪)for which Heatwole could face up to 10 years in prison. Heatwole claims he just wanted the government to improve airline safety. His intentions may have been good. Nevertheless, he broke the law. Now he faces the same penalty(处罚)that a terrorist might.65 Why did Heatwole take some forbidden things onto airplanes?A. To show how smart he was. B.

The best way to learn new words is to do it unconsciously. I dont mean while youre unconscious. I mean while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in.That is how I learnt the 30,000 words in my vocabulary by living in an English-speaking world, mother tongue. I just pick them up. But some of them may be misunderstood. Now, to misunderstand does not mean not to understand. To misunderstand is to understand but incorrectly.The 5 % mislearnt of all the words we “know” will be the least frequently used words, as the more frequently used words are less likely to be mislearnt. Some of the misunderstandings may live with all our lives, without knowing that we got them wrong.Many English teachers think that this natural method of learning words in ones own mother tongue can be used for a second language learning. They teach their students how to play the Guessing Game. “There is no time to look up in your dictionaries all the new words you come across,” they will say. “You have to practise guessing what the word means from the context.”This method of guessing in a second language learning does not work. It may succeed in many cases, but results in hundreds or thousands of wrongly-guessed meanings of words.And whats more, there are more separate meanings than there are words themselves. Our learners dictionaries usually have many meanings. A good dictionary is what makes self-learning possible.Dont guess! Look it up!69. It is certain that the best way to learn new words is _.A. to learn them by oneselfB. to learn by living in an English-speaking world and using them frequentlyC. to guess them from the contextD. to get more separate meanings of each word70.

Some of the words the writer knows must have been misunderstood.B. Most of the 30,000 words the writer learned are frequently used ones.C. How many words the writer got wrong are not known.D. All the words the writer knows were learned by reading them.72. It can be inferred that _.A. when somebody is conscious, he or she usually cant learn new words by heartB. we must use the words as often as possible in order to master themC. its the best way to le
