28、. The students who use dictionaries the most do not learn especially well, either. The ones who looked up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or tw
29、o words as a translation of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English. The most successful students were those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100, 000 words but do not use them too ofte
30、n. Whey they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still de not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word,
31、 or divide it into syllables (音节 ) ,they always use a dictionary. Also if they think a noun might have an unusual plural or a verb might have an unusual past tense, they checked them in a dictionary. 58 The writer tends to think that _. （ A） choose a good dictionary, and youll succeed in learning En
32、glish （ B） dictionaries are not very necessary to the students who learn English （ C） it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properly （ D） using dictionaries very often cant help to improve writing 59 According to the passage, which of the following is not true? （ A） Dictionaries
33、 have little effect on learning to speak English. （ B） No matter what new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries. （ C） Small two-language dictionaries do little help to study English. （ D） Reading Something for the first time, youd better not use dictionaries. 60 Which was not mentione
34、d in this article? （ A） How to make good use of a dictionary. （ B） When to use a dictionary. （ C） How to improve spoken-English. （ D） How to practice reading fast. 61 The famous American gorilla(大猩猩 ) expert Diane Fossey had a completely new way to study gorillas-she pretended to be one of them. She
35、 copied their actions and way of life-eating plants and getting down on her hands and knees to walk tile way a gorilla does. It was a new relationship. Diane Fossey was murdered in Rwanda in 1985 and her story was made into the popular film Gorillas in the Mist. It was a long way from King Kong, whi
36、ch is about a gorilla as a monster (a frightening animal), and helped to show a new idea: the real monster is man, while the gorilla is to be admired. Today there are thought to be around 48, 000 lowland gorillas and maybe 400 -450 mountain gorillas in the wild. From the Congo in West Africa, to Rwa
37、nda and Uganda further east, they are endangered by hunting and by the cutting down of their forest homes. Some time age, I found in my letterbox a little magazine from the World Wide Fund for Nature. It had two photos side by side. One was of a young gorilla. “This is a species of mammal(哺乳类动物 ) ,“
38、said the words below it. “It is being destroyed by man. We must save it for our own good. “The other photo showed a human baby. The words also read,“ This is a species of mammal,“ but then went on: “It is the most destructive(破坏性的 ) on earth. We must retrain it for its own good.“ 61 The text mainly
39、talks about _. （ A） Diane Fossey （ B） the gorillas in Rwanda （ C） the protection of the gorillas （ D） the film Gorillas in the Mist 62 We can learn from the text that _. （ A） Gorillas in the Mist was based on Fosseys experiences （ B） Lowland gorillas live longer than mountain gorillas （ C） King Kong
40、 showed us that a gorilla is admirable （ D） Diane Fossey was murdered by a gorilla 63 What message can we get from the two photos in the magazine? （ A） Gorillas are mans close friends. （ B） Both man and the gorilla need to be saved. （ C） Young gorillas are as lovely as human babies. （ D） Man should
41、live peacefully with the gorilla. 64 There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging(包装 ) is the silent but persuading salesman. There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed an
42、d measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer(消费者 ), so that is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality“ of the product and on how well it sells, becaus
43、e“ Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products, “as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers“ feeling for packaging, noticed. Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement ha
44、ve shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green“ today can keep food prices going up. Shapes are another attraction. Circles
45、often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. Thats why the round yellow M signs of McDonalds are inviting to both young and old. This new consumer response (反应 )to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that peopl
46、e buy to satisfy both body and soul. 64 According to the passage, _ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product. （ A） the pleasing color of the package （ B） the special taste of the product （ C） the strange shape of the package （ D） the belief in the product 65 If a package or a produ
47、ct is round in shape, it can _. （ A） bring excitement to the consumers （ B） attract the consumers attention （ C） catch the eye movement of the consumers （ D） produce a happy and peaceful feeling 66 “And the word green today can keep food prices going up. “This sentence suggests that consumers today
48、are _. （ A） starting to notice the importance of new food （ B） enjoying the beauty of nature more than before （ C） beginning to like green vegetables （ D） paying more attention to their healthy 67 It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of _. （ A） vegetable dish （ B） healthy juice （ C）
49、 iced drink （ D） red vegetable 68 By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder(喹蛇 ). In Scotland, in fact, there axe no other kinds of poisonous snake. It can be found almost anywhere, but it prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all. Most people regard snake bites as deadly, but not all bites are serious, and very few are deadly. Some- times
