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, or a new meaning of an old word, stop and see if you can understand it from its context. If you can't, and if you can manage without interrupting the thought of the book too much, look it up in a dictionary or ask somebody and then repeat its meaning to yourself a couple of times. 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 meanings of words.‎ If you are studying a foreign language, be alert to words in that language which relate to words in English. English has inherited(继承) or borrowed much of its vocabulary of 500 000～600 000 words from Latin, Greek, French, Spanish and German.‎ ‎【小题1】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.‎ ‎【小题2】According to this passage, the best way to build a good vocabulary ‎ is ______.‎ A. to remember a lot 　　　　　　B. to read a great deal C. to take part in a lot of good talks D. both B and C ‎【小题3】 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 heart ‎【小题4】 In the fourth paragraph, the word “them” refers to ______‎ the parts of words B. prefixes C. suffixes D. Roots ‎"Hitler and the Germans," an exhibition in Berlin's German‎ Historical ‎Museum which aims to investigate the society that created Hitler, has seen more than 10,000 visitors walk through its doors since opening on Friday.‎ Rudolf Trabold, a spokesman for the museum, said there were 4,000 visitors to the exhibition on the first day alone. People visiting the exhibition said they had waited as long as one and a half hours to get in. Ravi Nair, a 73-year-old Indian visitor, said: "I had to queue for about an hour but it was worth it. The exhibition should help people in democratic countries realize that their vote is very valuable."‎ Trabold said “Hitler and the Germans” was so popular because it was the first exhibition to explain how a man who lived on the margins of society for 30 years, in Vienna's men's hostels, could become an almost mythical（神话的）leader of the German people. "We are all affected by Hitler, so it speaks to all of us and helps Germans and foreigners to come to terms with the past." Inge Lonning, a 72-year-old tourist from Norway said: "I thought the exhibition was very impressive. I wanted to see it because I experienced the German occupation of Norway as a small child, so it's not just history for me." But not everyone was convinced there was something new to be learned from the exhibition. "So much has been done about this period over the years, it was like, I knew this and I knew that," said Canadian Julien Cayer, aged 28. "I thought I'd find something new but I didn't." ‎ There has been widespread concern in the German media that the exhibition could become a magnet for neo-Nazi admirers of Hitler, but Trabold said that although there had been some right-wing extremist visitors, they had not caused any problems.‎ ‎8．What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. People have different attitudes to “Hitler and the Germans”.‎ B. “Hitler and the Germans” attracts plenty of people.‎ C. What effect “Hitler and the Germans” has on history.‎ D.

Inge Lonning. B. Ravi Nair. C. Rudolf Trabold. D. Julien Cayer ‎12．What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. The visitors coming to “Hitler and the Germans” are all old people.‎ B. “Hitler and the Germans” has made an impression on every visitor.‎ C. Some neo-Nazi admirers of Hitler have caused a lot of trouble.‎ D. People visit “Hitler and the Germans” with variety of purposes.‎ Many people have been talking about the way in which the world will come to an end in 2012. Everybody wants to find out if December 21, 2012 is the last day of the earth. The rumor has already been spreading for a very long time. The Mayan’s prediction can account for the rumor. According to the rumor, the earth will experience dramatic changes in 2012 and the changes will be disastrous to all of the living creatures on earth. It is widely assumed that a Planet X will return to orbit the solar system. The return of Planet X will have a destructive effect on the solar system as well as on some planets including the Neptune, the Jupiter and the earth. Planet X will cross into their orbits. There’s a possibility that Jupiter will change into a little sun at this time, so folks will be well placed to see two suns in the sky in 2012.‎ ‎ The solar flares (耀斑) that occur in a 11-year cycle will reach their highest point in 2012. The powerful solar flares will affect the magnetic field of the earth and cause disasters. On December 21, 2012, the sun and the earth will line up in the same line at the equator(赤道). The winter solstice(冬至) only occurs once every 25,800 years. The events in the universe are signals that the world will come to an end. As a result of the solar flares, lots of disasters will happen that will destroy the face of the whole earth. Scientists are making the guess primarily based on the Mayan Long Count Calendar. ‎ ‎ Many films have been made about the end of the world including End Game by Alex Jones and End Clock: Nostradamus 2012. The former provides insights about the way the world will become one state. After the world government is in place, it’s going to be easy to exterminate 80% of the people in the world. The rest will continue to live with assistance from advanced technology.‎ ‎ No one knows whether the world will end on December 21, 2012: There is no clear answer until the day arrives. Just as the Mayans claim, it will not be the time for the world to end. Instead, it will be the dawn of a fresh start.‎ ‎13． What is the passage mainly about?‎ ‎ A. Information about end-of-the-world predictions.‎ ‎ B. Different opinions about end-of-the-world predictions.‎ ‎ C. Some doubts about end-of-the-world predictions.‎ ‎ D. Destructive effects of the end of the world.‎ ‎14．Which of the following things will NOT happen if the end of the world really happens?‎ ‎ A. Humans will see two suns at the same time.‎ ‎ B. The earth will look completely different.‎ ‎ C. The earth and the moon will line up in the same line.‎ ‎ D. The solar flares will become stronger than before.‎ ‎15．The underlined word “exterminate” in Paragraph 3 probably means “__________”.‎ ‎ A. save B. kill C. help D. rule ‎16．What is the author’s attitude to the rumor that the world will end?‎ ‎ A. Optimistic . B. Sad. C. Unconcerned. D. Scared.‎ 参考答案 ‎1．‎ ‎【小题1】D ‎【小题2】C ‎【小题3】B ‎【小题4】D ‎【解析】‎ ‎2．‎ ‎【小题1】C ‎【小题2】C ‎【小题3】A ‎【小题4】B ‎【小题5】D ‎【解析】‎ ‎3．C ‎4．D ‎5．A ‎6．B ‎ ‎【解析】介绍了4个活动以及相关信息。‎ ‎3．细节题。根据第一空格For detailed information, see Paul Burton before Friday lunch time.可知C正确。‎ ‎4．细节题。根据Over 18s only可知D不符合要求。‎ ‎5．细节题。根据Booking agent Peter Smith— 010-8266 1555可知拨打这个电话才可以买到票。‎ ‎6．推理题。根据Hot and cold vegetable food(素食)可知只有B是素食。‎ ‎7．‎ ‎【小题1】D ‎【小题2】D ‎【小题3】B ‎【小题4】A ‎【解析】试题分析：‎ ‎【小题1】细节题。 D从第二段stop and see if you can understand it from its context及look it up in a dictionary or ask somebody可知选Ｄ，包括ＡＢＣ内容。‎ ‎【小题2】D细节题。从第一段第二句The best way to build a good vocabulary, therefore, is to read a great deal and to participate in a lot of good talks答案为Ｄ，包括Ｂ和Ｃ。‎ ‎【小题3】B词义猜测题。文章三，四，五段均出现该词，结合这几段的内容，可以猜测出词义为“注意”‎ ‎【小题4】A.词义猜测题。 them为代词，承前指代，故答案应在上文，检索可知答案为the parts of words，包括ＢＣＤ答案的内容。‎ 考点：考查知识教育类阅读 点评：本文讲述了一些如何扩大词汇量的方法。阅读中要注意带着问题找到关键词，再读全文，找出答题所需要的依据，完成阅读。注意本段短文中有几道题当中一个选项包含其它几个选项，做题时应注意，不要以偏概全。‎ ‎8．B ‎9．C ‎10．B ‎11．A ‎12．D ‎ ‎【解析】‎ 试题分析：这篇文章讲的是“希特勒和德国”这个展览目的是解释社会底层的人怎样变成一个领导的。吸引了很多游客。‎ ‎8．主旨题：从第一段的句子："Hitler and the Germans," an exhibition in Berlin's German Historical Museum which aims to investigate the society that created Hitler, has seen more than 10,000 visitors walk through its doors since opening on Friday.可知这篇文章讲的是“希特勒和德国”这个展览吸引了很多游客。选B ‎9．细节题：从第一段的句子："Hitler and the Germans," an exhibition in Berlin's German Historical Museum which aims to investigate the society that created Hitler,可知这个展览是研究创造希特勒的社会。选C ‎10．细节题：从第二段的句子：Trabold said “Hitler and the Germans” was so popular because it was the first exhibition to explain how a man who lived on the margins of society for 30 years, in Vienna's men's hostels, could become an almost mythical（神话的）leader of the German people.可知Trabold 认为这个展览是展示一个社会底层的人怎样变成一个领导的。选B ‎11．细节题：从第三段的句子：Inge Lonning, a 72-year-old tourist from Norway said: "I thought the exhibition was very impressive.
