A
A good dictionary is an invaluable tool for anyone who uses the written word and would like to do so more effectively and correctly. Are you familiar with the different kinds of dictionaries—and the services that they offer?
There are three basic types of dictionary. They are the compact, historical and general purpose dictionary. The compact dictionary is, naturally, a small pocket sized variety that is somewhat limited in the range of its content. The historical dictionary, on the other hand, is an exhaustive(詳盡的) volume that specializes in the history of words. The general purpose dictionary lies somewhere between these two extremes. This is the most common version that people would have in their home and is the best for everyday use.
The functions of the general purpose dictionary are to provide definitions, proper pronunciation, correct spelling and derivations as well as any restrictive labels attached to a word. Let’s consider these individually.
Definitions: Many words have more than one meaning. By using a dictionary you can determine which meaning applies to the sentence you are considering. Some dictionaries help you out further by giving sample phrases of correct word usages.
Pronunciation: Pronunciation of a particular word may vary from region to region, so a dictionary will give the generally accepted pronunciation.
Spelling: In the English language, words are often spelt quite differently to how they sound. Thank goodness for the spelling function of your dictionary.
Derivations: The study of word origin is a feature of your dictionary. This can bring words to life, and expand your knowledge base in a fascinating way.
Restrictive Labels: If a word is marked “colloquial” or “slang” it shouldn’t be used in formal settings. These labels, then, signal caution in their use.
Becoming more familiar with, and regularly consulting, your dictionary will open up the English language to you. As a result, your speech will be richer and your written communications more fluent. What a fine reward for a little time invested in your dictionary.
36. The “colloquial” or “slang” labels remind you that the words ________.
A. may be borrowed from other languages B. have strange pronunciations
C. are used in an informal way D. have some special meanings
37. You may get disappointed if you want to find ________ in a general purpose dictionary.
A. the origin of a new word B. the spelling of a word
C. examples of word usages D. the rules of grammar
38. Which function of the general purpose dictionary is similar to the main character of a historical dictionary?
A. Pronunciation. B. Restrictive Labels.
C. Spelling. D. Derivations.
39. It can be inferred from the text that a compact dictionary is designed for _______.
A. teachers B. language learners
C. beginners D. dictionary collectors
40. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that ________.

Despite his death at the age of 25, Keats is one of the greatest English poets and a key figure in the Romantic Movement. He has become the epitome(化身) of the young, beautiful, doomed poet. John Keats was born on 31 October 1795 in London. His father worked at a horse stable (馬棚), but died in 1804. His mother re-married, but died of a severe disease in 1810.
Keats was educated at a school in Enfield. When he left at 16, he was apprenticed to a surgeon. He wrote his first poems in 1814. In 1816, he abandoned medicine to concentrate on poetry. His first volume of poetry was published the following year.
In 1818, Keats nursed his brother Tom through the final stages of tuberculosis(肺結(jié)核), the disease that had killed their mother. Tom died in December and Keats moved to his friend Charles Brown’s house in Hampstead. There he met and fell deeply in love with a neighbor, the 18-year old Fanny Brawne.
This was the beginning of Keats’ most creative period. He wrote, among others, ‘The Eve of St Agnes’, ‘La Belle Dame Sans Merci’, ‘Ode to a Nightingale’ and ‘To Autumn’. The group of five odes(頌詩), which include ‘Ode to a Nightingale’, are ranked among the greatest short poems in the English language.
From September 1819, Keats produced little more poetry. His financial difficulties were now severe. He became engaged to Fanny Brawne, but with no money there was little possibility of their marrying.
Early in 1820, Keats began to display symptoms of tuberculosis. His second volume of poetry was published in July, but he was by now very ill. In September, Keats and his friend Joseph Severn left for the warmer weather of Italy, in the hope that this would improve Keats’ health. When they reached Rome, Keats was confined to bed. Severn took care of him devotedly, but Keats died in Rome on 23 February 1821. He was buried in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome.

WASHINGTON — From the towering Great Dane to the feisty little Chihuahua, all dogs are brothers under the skin. Now, researchers have uncovered a clue to why the animals wearing that skin vary so much in size.
Dogs have the largest variation in body size of any land animal, so researchers led by Elaine A. Ostrander of the National Human Genome Research Institute decided to look into the reasons why.
Their finding of a section of genes that controls small size in dogs is reported in Friday’s issue of the journal Science.
Learning how growth is controlled can improve the understanding of cancer and other diseases caused by growth gone awry, Ostrander explained in a telephone interview.
And the research adds to the basic study of variations, perhaps improving knowledge of the differences between people, she added.
K. Gordon Lark of the University of Utah, a co-author of the report, pointed out that dogs have 200 to 300 diseases in common with people, including high blood pressure, autoimmune diseases and cancer.
“They also share our environment, so if there is an environmental influence that can trigger disease, dogs will be going through the same process,” he said in a telephone interview.
“So, if we can solve this in dogs, that’s a fantastic jump ahead,” Lark said.
Keith E. Murphy, principal investigator at the Canine Genetics Laboratory of Texas A&M University, called the research “an incredible piece of work.”
It was suspected that there might be a few major genes controlling significant differences in body type, said Murphy.
46. Great Dane and Chihuahua may be _____.
A. the names of two cities in America B. the names of two kinds of dogs
C. the names of two animal scientists D. the names of two labs
47. What makes a little dog not a big dog?
A. It’s the gene. B. It’s the feeding way.
C. It’s the birthplace. D. It’s the environment.
48. Why does Keith E. Murphy call the research “an incredible piece of work.”?
A. Dogs are the best friends of human kind.
B. Dogs are the main pets human kind keep.
C. Dogs are similar in the genes to human kind.
D. Dogs can be used as a clue to treat human kind.
49. What would dogs in the same area do if people in a certain area are infected with the bird flu?
A. They would remain healthy as before.
B. They would be infected with another kind of disease.
C. It’s hard to say for they are different from human kind.
D. It’s most likely that they are seized with the bird flu.
50. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Like men, many dogs also suffer from high blood pressure.
B. Men and dogs share the same environment.
C. Man and dogs are close relatives because man also has variations in body size.
D. Like dogs, many diseases of human are related to variations of body size.
D
As L. P. Hartley put it, “The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there”, then for many English football fans this week that country looks like Italy or Spain. Watching the pictures of police beating up my fellow Manchester United supporters in Rome, and the similar scenes involving Spurs fans in Seville, felt like a throwback to another era.
How attitudes seem to have changed. In 1974, after police in Rotterdam baton-charged(用警棒襲擊)Spurs fans at the Uefa Cup final, Bill Nicholson, the Tottenham manager, condemned his own supporters as “a disgrace to Britain”. This week Martin Jol, Tottenham’s present manager, and the club hierarchy(統(tǒng)治集團) came out in support of their fans, and even British ministers joined in Manchester United’s criticism of the “heavy-handed” policing in Rome. English fans have gone from being villains(惡棍) to helpless victims.
Reactions in Italy and Spain, however, pinned the blame on drunken English hooligans as they would have done in the past. Italian commentators made reference to the 1985 European Cup final, when 39 Juventus fans died after Liverpool supporters charged and a wall collapsed at Heysel stadium. Although our tastes in football and much else are now more European than ever, there seems to be a culture gap.
Of course, not everybody who follows English teams abroad is a Boy Scout, even if they sometimes act like overgrown schoolboys. But to me the most striking image of the night in Rome was the picture of the dazed United fan with blood pouring from his head — and a camera hanging around his neck. Many supporters had come to Rome as tourists from Planet Premiership’s world of family-friendly entertainment, and were shocked to find themselves in a world where football is still a battleground.
51. How many football teams are mentioned?
A. 4. B. 5. C. 2. D. 6.
52. What’s the author’s attitude toward Manchester United fans?
A. Critical. B. Sympathetic. C. Cold. D. Praiseful.
53. According to the passage, why did Italian commentators referred to the 1985 European Cup final?
A. To make people believe that British football fans are as bad-mannered as before.
B. To make people believe that British football fans are as helpless as before.
C. To remind audience of the terrible disaster in football history.
D. To criticize Indian police for being too cruel.
54. We can infer from the passage that _____.
A. there is no culture gap between European teams
B. Juventus won the final over Liverpool
C. Juventus fans must have been beaten to death by Liverpool supporters
D. the author must be from Italy
55. According to the author, the police’s action in Rome is _____.
A. very reasonable B. ridiculous C. overdone D. understandable

American pilot Frank Webb first flew a glider at the age of 14, made his first flight alone on his.16th birthday and got his commercial pilot's licensee (執(zhí)照)on his 18th birthday.
After serving in the US Navy for 20 years, being a Boeing flight instructor, and working with Alaska Airlines for more than three years, Webb signed a contract with Shenzhen Airlines last May to captain domestic routes in China.As an experienced pilot, he still feels the same nervousness as he felt on his first fight.
Captain Webb said that the "Sept.11" incident did not have a direct influence on his decision to move to China to work."Safety is in fact tighter in the United States and I am not worried about a terrorist attack," he said."The main reason I came to China was that my children will have a chance to see the world and experience international living."
Webb has not experienced any in-flight emergencies(緊急情況) during his term in China although he said the weather here was generally more changeable than in the United States."The weather changes tend to be great from north to south.We may be flying in a snow storm in Harbin, and then later that same day we may be flying through a tropical rain shower approaching Shenzhen," Webb said.
While Webb had more flexibility(靈活性) to deal with the weather in the United States, he said air traffic control in China was more strict and allowed fewer deviations(偏離).
Speaking of planes often being late in China, Webb said that in America, being late was one of the few things that would get him in trouble."In China, on the other hand, it seems there are many things that can get you in trouble with the boss, but being late is not one of them." Webb does everything in his power to keep his flights on schedule.
"They provide really excellent service during flights.Western flight attendants just serve passengers.But the Chinese attendants will also check on the crew to see if we need anything," Webb said.
56.Why did Webb sign a contract with Shenzhen Airlines? (no more than 20 words)
57.What is "glider " (in Paragraph 1)? (no more than 5 words)
[Ks5u.com]
58.What in the flight Webb met in China increased his difficulty? (no more than 5 words)

56.His children would have a chance to see the world and experience international living.
57.A type of plane.
58.The changeable weather.
59.No.He does everything in his power to keep his flights on schedule.
60.He thinks highly of the flight attendants in China.
One possible version:
Influenced by the trend of globaliza- tion, the earth is becoming a small village. Step by step China becomes part of this small village. Needless to say, the past 20 years has witnessed the great changes in China. It is unavoidable that the Chinese language has also brought in some new words from other languages, especially from English. A lot of English words have found its way in Chinese, such as bye-bye, OK, show and so on.
However, some new words directly borrowed from English have caused some confusion in communication. Take PK for example, I believe some older people may probably have some trouble in making out the meaning of this word.
The overuse of foreign words in Chinese has raised the public concern about Chinese standardization. As far as I am concerned, the government should take measures to call on the people to use correct and standard Chinese.
