The student

24、s who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look 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 two words as translati

25、ons 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 are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are readin

26、g, 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 do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, they always use a dict

27、ionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check this in a dictionary.51.According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG? A. Dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak English. B. Whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries. C

30、n she looked ahead, Florence Chadwick saw nothing but a solid wall of fog. Her body was numb(全身麻木). She had been swimming for nearly sixteen hours. Already she was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. Now, at age 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Cata

31、lina Island to the California coast.On that fourth of July morning in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so dense she could hardly see her support boats. Sharks cruised toward her lone figure, only to be driven away by rifle shots. Against the cold sea, she struggled on - hour after

32、hour - while millions watched on national television.Alongside Florence in one of the boats, her mother and her trainer offered encouragement. They told her it wasn't much farther. But all she could see was fog. They urged her not to quit. She never had until then. With only a half mile to go, s

33、he asked to be pulled out.She told a reporter hours later, "Look, I'm not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it." It was not tiredness or even the cold water that defeated her. It was the fog. She was unable to see her goal.Two months later, she tried agai

34、n. This time, despite the same dense fog, she swam with her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it!

37、her swimming skills D. the good weatherCThe Museum of Childhood is spread over 4 floors, with the first floor acting like a balcony around the edge of the building, so you can look down over the ground floor central hall with the shop, Information Desk and Benugo Café.The museum of Childhood is

38、 housed in a large Victorian building in east London. It has been on this site since 1872. It has undergone refurbishment (翻新) and reopened in 2006 and an elevator now makes all floors accessible.This is not a quiet place and children are allowed to have fun here.

39、 and a member of staff remains by the front door at all times. Also, note the “Code of Behavior” notice, which includes: children under 12 must be supervised by an adult; no eating in the galleries and no running.Toy exhibits are in glass cases and there are plenty of low-level exhibits for younger

40、children to see. The glass cases have lots of thought-inspiring questions on them to encourage discussion between adults and children. When you or the children need some quiet time, there are sofas at either end of the second floor with reading books available.Pros: Many free activities for kidsCons

41、: Can be too warm insideVisit Duration: 1.5 hoursOpening Hours: 10:00 a.m. 5:45 p.m. Last admission is 5:30 p.m.The Museum is closed on 25 and 26 December and 1 January every year.Admission: Admission the Museum is free.

The museum is unavailable on Christmas Day.DA quick look at the lengths of childrens index and ring fingers

45、 can be used to predict how well students will perform in education tests, new research claims.Kids with longer ring fingers compared to index fingers are likely to have higher math scores than literacy or verbal scores in the entrance exam for primary school, while children with the reverse finger-

46、length ratio are likely to have higher reading and writing, or verbal, scores versus(與.相對(duì)) math scores.Scientists have known that different levels of the hormones testosterone(雄性激素)and estrogen (雌性激素) in the womb(子宮) account for the different finger lengths, which are a reflection of areas of the br

47、ain that are more highly developed than others, said psychologist Mark Brosnan of the University of Bath in Britain, who led the study.Exposure to testosterone in the womb is said to promote development of areas of the brain often associated with spatial(空間的) and mathematical skills, he said. That h

48、ormone makes the ring finger longer. Estrogen exposure does the same for areas of the brain associated with verbal ability and tends to lengthen the index finger relative to the ring finger.To test the link to children's scores on the Scholastic Assessment Test, Brosnan and his colleagues made p

49、hotocopies of children's palms and measured the length of their index and ring fingers. They used the finger-length ratios as a proxy(參照指標(biāo)) for the levels of testosterone and estrogen exposure. The researchers then looked at boys' and girls' test performances separately and compared them

50、 to finger-length ratio measurements. They found a clear link between high prenatal testosterone exposure, indicated by the longer ring finger compared to the index finger, and higher scores on the math SAT.Similarly, they found higher literacy SAT scores for the girls among those who had lower pren

51、atal testosterone exposure, as indicated by a shorter ring finger compared with the index finger.62.Its likely that if a Chinese child with a longer index finger than his ring finger, he will probably get good marks in _. A. mathB. physicsC. chemistryD. Chinese 63.The underlined word “reverse” in Pa

52、ragraph Two probably means_. A. similar B. opposite C. indifferent D. strange 64.What can make your index finger longer than your ring finger according to the research? A. Estrogen.B. Testosterone. C. Vitamin.D. Vegetables. 65.Which of the following statements is NOT correct in the passage? A. A chi

53、ld with a longer index finger than his ring finger will fail in the math exam. B. Girls with shorter ring fingers get higher literacy SAT scores. C. Kids with longer ring fingers are likely to have higher math scores. D. The length of the finger has something to do with hormones.第二節(jié): 任務(wù)型閱讀Phyllis、Ch
