The best way to build a good vocabulary, therefore, is to read a great deal and to participate in a lot of good talks. There are relatively few words that we learn permanently by purposefully referring to dictionaries or keeping word lists. However, even those extra few are of value, and no one will make a mistake by working on developing a larger vocabulary. Here are some suggestions of how to do it. Read plenty of good books. When you come across a new word, stop and see if you can understand it from its context. If you cant, and if you can manage without interrupting the thought of the book too much, look it up in a dictionary or ask somebody. If you are really conscientious(认真的), write the word and its meaning in a personal vocabulary list preferably using it in a sentence, or you can keep a special vocabulary notebook. Go over the list from time to time. Further, try to use a new word in writing or conversation a few times over the next several days. Listen to good talks and be alert to new words you hear or to new meanings of words you already know. Then treat them just as you treat the new words you read. Learn and be alert to the parts of words: prefixes, suffixes and roots. Knowing them enables you to make intelligent guesses about the meaning of words. 56. When you meet a new word in reading, what should you do? _A. Guess its meaning. B. Ask somebody. C. Look it up in a dictionary. D. All of the above. 57. According to this passage, the best way to build a good vocabulary is _. A. to remember a lot B. to read a great dealC. to take part in a lot of good talks D. both B and C58. The phrase “be alert to” in the third paragraph may best be replaced by “_”. A. look at B. pay attention to C. write down D. learn by heart59. In the fourth paragraph, the word “them” refers to _. A. the parts of words B. prefixes C. suffixes D. root BThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration is in a difficult situation over cloned animals. The group tentatively (试验性地) concluded in late October that meat and milk from cloned animals is safe to eat, exciting farmers who are developing clones of cows and other creatures. But almost immediately, one of the FDAs advisory committees sharply questioned the conclusion and the science behind it. In evaluating (评估) food from cloned animals, the group carried out two tests in October. One test, it said, compared clones at different stages of life to healthy ordinary animals to determine whether they appear the same. The second and more exact test could includes tests on the meat and milk of clones. When the FDA concluded that cloned animals appeared to be safe to eat, critics pointed out that the group seemed to depend almost only on the first test. “Most of the things we evaluate for safety, we can tell the risk might be,” said Stephen Sundlof, director of the FDAs Center for Veterinary medicine. “When you are talking about cloning, its very different because we have not been able to recognize a particular danger.”Joseph Mendelson, Legal director for the non-profit Center for Food Safety, called the FDAs report a very strange one for its lack of research. “Healthy animals equal safe food. I agree with that on some level,” Mendelson said. “But we dont know if these animals are healthy. What if they appear healthy, and theres some metabolic (新陈代谢) difference thats caused by a genetic fault? They dont have those studies.”60. What does the passage mainly discussed?A. Whether food from cloned animals is safe to eat.B. Food from cloned animals is certainly safe to eat. C. Cloned animals can provide food to solve the food problem.D. Only science can decide whether food from cloned animals is safe or not. 61. Some experts sharply questioned the conclusion because .A. they had exact proof to prove it wrongB. they thought further research should be made into cloned animals C. there is much difference between ordinary animals and cloned onesD. cloned animals appear healthy but there is a genetic fault in them62. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The conclusion made by the FDA was drawn from two tests.B. Food from cloned animals is surely safe to eat.C. The legal director for the non-profit Center for Food Safety agree with the conclusion.D. The farmers raising cloned animals hope the meat of cloned animals are safe. 63. What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?A. The FDA.B. The science.C. The conclusion. D. One of the FDAs advisory committees.CAs a boy, Joe Jones, the eldest of eight children, had a dream of becoming a doctor. But when he was 17, he had to drop out of high school to help support his family.Joe worked in construction, on the railroad, served in the army. For 20 years, he was a custom-maker, then an assembly-line worker and a welder(焊工) in his hometown of Philadelphia. But he hung on to his dream of going back to school. Crossing the campus of the University of Pennsylvania on his way to work every morning, he made up his mind that some day he would go there. In 1979, at age 48, Joe was laid off from his welding job. He decided it was time to make his dream come true. Now the unemployed father of 12 and grandfather of 7 decided to aim for a PhD in Computer and Information Science. His wife, Vickie, said, “Go ahead.” She had no doubt that her husband would make it, even though it would mean long hours of study. Joe passed the high school-equivalency test and enrolled at Community College of Philadelphia, where he took all the math course he could. In 1981, after earning a degree at Community College, he applied for admission to the University of Pennsylvania. His determination persuaded university officials to admit him as a sophomore(二年级学生) to study Computer Math and to give him financial help. Today, at 55, Joe hold a BA degree in Computer Math. He has nearly completed work on his masters and next fall plans to start on that PhD. Officials at the university add that Joe has given them something in return. Says Valeria Swain, executive assistant to the provost(学院院长)，“Ive never had a student at any level who inspired me more than Joe.”64. Joe Jones has _ children. A. 8 B. 12 C. 19 D. 765. Joes wife _. A. persuaded him to go to school B. prevented him from going to school C. encouraged him to make his dream come true D. forced him to go to school66. Having worked hard, Joe _. A. earned a degree at the University of Pennsylvania B. got a BA degree in Computer Math C. got a PhD D. all of the aboveDEquipped only with a pair of binoculars (望远镜) and ready to spend long hours waiting in all weathers for a precious glance of a rare bullfinch (红腹灰雀), Britains birdwatchers had long been supposed to be lovers of a minority sport. But new figures show birdwatching is fast becoming a popular pastime, with almost three million of us absorbed in our fluttering feathered friends.Devoted birdwatchers, those prepared to travel thousands of miles for a sighting of a rare Siberian bird, are fast being joined by a new breed of follower whose interest is satiated by watching a few finches (雀科小鸟) on a Sunday walk or putting up a bird-box in the back garden.“Almost three million UK birdwatchers are certainly possible if you include everyone with only a casual interest,” Stephen Moss said in his newly published book -A Bird in the Bush: A Social History of Birdwatching -which records the pursuit from the rich Victorian Englishmens love of shooting rare birds to the less offensive observational tendencies of birdwatchers today.Television wildlife programmes have helped to fuel the new trend. Last summer, BBC 2s Britain Goes Wild was a surprise success. It pulled in three million viewers and led to bird-houses selling out across the UK as 45,000 people promised to put up a box.Birdwatchers networking system first came to the attention of the nation in 1989, when a birdwatcher caught sight of the first Vermivora chrysopteraa golden-winged songbird from North Americato be seen in Britain. He put a message out on the network service Birdline, and the next day 3,000 birdwatchers proved the full pull of truly rare bird as they visited the Tesco car park in Kent, where it had settled. Today, birdwatchers can log on to www.Birdline.Co.uk or have news of the latest sightings texted to their phones.“Multimillion-pound spending on binoculars, bird food and boxes point to the increasing number of birdwatchers,” said David Cromack, the editor of Bird Watching magazine. “The number of people involved is so big that they have great potential to influence government decisions affecting the environment.”67. Which of the following CANNOT be true according to the passage? A. The network service has contributed to the rapid development of birdwatching. B. The current situation of birdwatching may promote the protection of the environment. C. Birdwatching in Britain was long considered a sport with a small group of followers. D. Television wildlife programmes started birdwatching.68. What happened after the message of seeing a Vermivora chrysoptera was put on the network? A. Birdwatchers helped the rare bird settle in Kent. B. Large numbers of birdwatchers went to view the bird. C. Many birdwatchers logged on to the website for details. D. Birdwatchers showed their determination to protect the rare bird.69. The passage mainly tells us about _ in the UK. A. the history of birdwatching B. birdwatching as a popular expensive sport C. the impact of media on birdwatching D. a growing passion for birdwatching70. The word “satiated” in Paragraph 2 can best
