15、解 There is no doubt about it. 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 tong
16、ue. 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 li
17、kely to be mislearnt. Some of the misunderstanding 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 t
18、he 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 practice 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
19、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! 【小题 1】 It is certain
20、that the best way to learn new words is _. A to learn them by oneself B to learn by living in an English-speaking world and using them frequently C to guess them from the context D to get more separate meanings of each word 【小题 2】 The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to _. A the 30, 000
21、words B English teachers C misunderstood words D frequently used words 【小题 3】 Which of the following is most likely NOT true A 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 wro
22、ng are not known. D All the words the writer knows were learned by reading them. 【小题 4】 It can be inferred that _. A when somebody is conscious, he or she usually cant learn new words by heart B we must use the words as often as possible in order to master them C its the best way to learn new words
23、that one should only guess their meanings from the context D only dictionaries can help us learn language well. 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 A 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 B 【小题 1】 D总结归纳题。从最后一段 “Dont guess! Look it up！ ”及倒数第二段“.there are more separate meanings”可总结出学习新单词的最好方法是掌握每个单词更多的含义， 从而达到 “do it unconsciously”(不经意间习得
24、或理解 )的境界 【小题 2】 A细节理解题。从第二段开头 “That is how I learnt the 30,000 words in my vocabulary.”可知答案：。 【小题 3】 D推理判断题。文章中并无依据表明作者所有的词汇都是通过阅读习得的。 【小题 4】 B推理判断题。从第三段中 “.the more frequently used words are less likely to be mislearnt.”可以推断出正确理解并掌握词汇的方法是尽可能地多使用它们。 In some urban centers, workholism is so common tha
25、t people do not consider it unusual: they accept the lifestyle as normal. Government workers in Washington D. C., for example, frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week. They dont do this because they have to; they do it because they want to. Workholism can be a serious problem. Because true wor
26、kaholics (工作狂 ) would rather work than do anything else, they probably dont know how to relax. Is workholism always dangerous Perhaps not. There are, certainly, people who work well under stress. Some studies show that many workaholics have great energy and interest in life. Their work is so pleasur
27、able that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics, work and entertainment keep them busy and creative. Why do workaholics enjoy their jobs so much There are several advantages to work. Of course, it provides people with paychecks, and this is important. But it offers more than financial s
28、ecurity. It provides people with self-confidence; they have a feeling of satisfaction when theyve produced a challenging piece of work and are able to say, “I made that.” Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity through participation in work, they get a sense of self and individualism.
29、 In addition, most jobs provide people with a socially acceptable way to meet others. Perhaps some people are compulsive about their work, but their addiction seems to be a safe-even an advantageous-one. 【小题 1】 The passage indicates that workaholics _. A just know work but nothing else B are willing
30、 to work hard for long hours without pay C find their work provide them more satisfaction and self-confidence than how much they are paid D has the work with more responsibility than others 【小题 2】 One of the reasons that some people are not willing to quit their jobs even in their eighties and ninet
31、ies is that _. A. they are in the need of financial security B. they would rather work than be disturbed by domestic affairs C. they long for a sense of identity and being accomplished C. they may have health problems from sheer boresom 【小题 3】 This passage is mainly about _. A workaholics are usuall
32、y successful people, but their lives are in a mess B workholism can lead to serious problems but it can also create a joyful life C people who are absorbed in their work may enjoy movies, sports and other kinds of entertainment D those who work even under difficult conditions may be very happy 【小题 4
33、】 It can be inferred from the passage that _. A in the eyes of all the common people workaholics are peculiar B to workaholics, work is the sole source of happiness C a piece of challenging work may provide the workaholics a sense of satisfaction D workaholics are as addicted to their job as other p
34、eople are to drugs or alcohol 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 B 【小题 4】 D 【小题 1】 C推理判断题。根据第二段第二句 true workaholics would rather work than do anything else.可知工作狂只是更愿意工作，而非只知道工作， A说法过于绝对。根据第四段第三句： It provides people with paychecks可排除 B。文中只提到 “工作狂 ”工作时间比其他人更长、工作 更卖力，但未提及他们的责任问题，故排除 D。根据第四段第四句： But it( work)
35、 offers more than financial security及第五句： It ( work) provides people with selfconfidence.a feeling of satisfaction.可知 C正确 【小题 2】 C细节理解题。从文章第四段第五、六句我们知道，工作赋予他们一种满足感、成就感 (sense of being accomplished)，工作使人获得一种认同(identity)，通过参与工作，他们获得一种自我意识和个人意识。可知 C正确。而金钱只是人们工作的目的之一，并不是最重要的方面。故不选 A。人们到老年仍然工作，并非由于不愿意做家务
36、，也并不是担心整天无所事事会引起健康方面的问题。所以 B和 D不正确。 【小题 3】 B 主旨大意题。文章中心围绕工作狂的特点展开，第二段提出工作狂可能是一个很严重的问题，但在第三段也指出工作狂也可快乐地生活，并介绍了快乐的原因。所以可以看出主题是讲 “工作狂 ”既有负面影响又有正面影响 【小题 4】 D推理判断题。 A项 “在普通人眼中工作狂很特殊 ”。这与 原文相反，原文提到人们并认为工作狂的生活方式是不正常的。 B项 “对工作狂来说，工作是快乐的唯一来源 ”，第三段提到对工作狂来说工作就是娱乐，因此无须推断。 C项 “有挑战性的工作可能给工作狂带来满足感 ”。这是原文中明确提到，而非推断
37、出的，所以 C是不正确的。 D项 “工作狂就像人们沉溺于毒品和酒一样沉溺于工作 ”我们可看到工作狂对工作的热爱如同上了瘾一样，可推出这一项是正确的。 There is one word that is on the lips of Americans , day and night , “Sorry”.
