In Shakespeare’s HAMLET, Polonius asks the prince, “What are you reading, my Lord?” Hamlet replies, “Words, words, words.” Either, as is likely, Hamlet wasn’t interested in what he was reading, or, less likely, he didn’t understand the words he was reading. In this case, Polonius should have lent Hamlet a good dictionary.
Dictionaries are essential tools for people who like to read. There are so many words in English that even the most educated person will sometimes meet an unfamiliar word and have to look it up. Languages keep changing, too, with new words constantly being added and new meanings being applied to old words. For example, the 12th edition of Xinhua Dictionary, the most popular dictionary in China, has added new words such as “chu xin” “fen si” “er wei ma” etc. As for new meanings, “girl” once meant “a small child of either sex”. And “naughty” didn’t mean you
were “enjoying playing tricks”; it meant you were poor.
A printed dictionary can’t keep pace with all the changes, which is why most dictionaries have websites and apps to help you keep up-to-date. However, I still prefer printed dictionaries because they give you more definitions and more examples of how a word is used. Even a simple word, such as “set”, has 430 meanings (the most of English words) but an online dictionary would only offer two or three. A printed dictionary also gives you the opportunity to discover new words as you run your finger down the page looking for the word you want.
There is no “official” English dictionary, but the Oxford English Dictionary is considered to be the best. For English language learners, however, I would recommend the Collins COBUILD Dictionary for Advanced Learners. Hamlet, by the way, was Danish and a college student. He would have appreciated the Collins Dictionary to help himself with his words, words, words. This dictionary has over 40,000 words and gives you full-sentence definitions with good examples of how words are used.
4. What’s the function of paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To let the readers know more about HAMLET.
C. To arouse readers’ interest in Shakespeare.
D. To explain when it’s necessary to use a dictionary.
5. Why does the author mention “girl” in paragraph 2?
A. To show how powerful Xinhua Dictionary is.
B. To support the idea: languages keep changing.
C. To prove new words are being added to dictionaries.
D. To imply “girl” also means “boy” in some cases.
6. What’s the author’s attitude to printed dictionaries?
A. Favorable.
B. Ambiguous.
C. Negative.
D. Critical.
7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph?
A. To introduce the history of dictionaries.
B. To call on learners to use dictionaries.
C. To recommend Collins Dictionary.
D. To explain why Hamlet likes Collins.
C
There’s been a frightening increase in the number of people feeling lonely, brought on or made worse by COVID-19. In fact there’s been an epidemic (流行病) of loneliness.
Loneliness is awful and dangerous. For one thing it weakens self-control and that, University of Bristol researchers have found, makes quitting smoking very difficult. Moreover, data from hundreds of thousands of people led Dr. Robyn Wootton, senior research associate at Bristol University and colleagues to conclude that loneliness appears to increase the need to smoke.
According to the Office for National Statistics, the equivalent of 7.4 million people said their wellbeing was affected through feeling lonely in the first month of lockdown. Lonely people were also more likely to be struggling to find things that would help them cope and were also less likely to feel they had support networks to fall back on.
Dr. Robyn Wootton said, “We found evidence to suggest that loneliness leads to increased smoking, with people more likely to start smoking, to smoke more cigarettes and to be less likely to quit.” Senior author Dr. Jorien Treur from Amsterdam UMC added, “Our finding that smoking may also lead to more loneliness is tentative (不确定的), but it is in line with other recent studies that identified smoking as a risk factor for poor mental health. A potential explanation for this relationship is that nicotine from cigarette smoke has a great impact on neurotransmitters (神经传导物质) such as dopamine (多巴胺) in the brain.”
Dr. Wootton said with millions of people now being more socially separated, incidences of loneliness will climb. “We were really interested to find that loneliness decreases the likelihood of stopping smoking and we think this is a really important consideration for those trying to stop smoking during COVID-19,” she said. To ease your loneliness and improve your chances of succeeding in quitting, I think one of the best things you can do is to find a “buddy” who’ll try to give up smoking with you. Together you can compare notes, share progress, talk through difficulties, and encourage each other to keep on going when all you want is to give in.
8. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. Lonely people tend to seek something to deal with loneliness.
B. Lockdown do more damage to physical than mental health.
C. People suffering from loneliness often turn to others for help.
D. Self-control is the most important thing to overcome loneliness.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Evidence.
B. Smoking.
C. Loneliness.
D. Finding.
10. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Millions of people failed the attempt to stop smoking.
B. A good way to stop smoking is to get a like-minded person.
C. Smoking is not advocated officially during COVID-19.
D. Those who want to quit smoking need to find good habits.
11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Health Problems Caused by COVID-19
B. Opinions on How to Give Up Smoking
C. Some Ways in Which Loneliness Harm You
D. Loneliness Makes it Hard to Quit Smoking
D
We may be wishing some memories could last a lifetime, but a large quantity of physical and emotional factors can have a negative impact on our ability to keep the information throughout our whole life. A new study which had been published in the journal Psychological Science found that people who feel enthusiastic and cheerful — what psychologists call “positive effect” — are less likely to experience memory decline as they get older. This result adds to a growing body of research on the role of positive effect on healthy aging.
A team of researchers analyzed data from about 991 middle-aged and elderly U.S. adults who participated in a national study conducted in three periods: between 1995 and 1996, 2004 and 2006, and 2013 and 2014. In each assessment, participants reported on a wide range of positive emotions they had experienced during the past 30 days. In the final two assessments, participants also completed tests of memory performance. These tests consisted of recalling words immediately after their presentation and again 15 minutes later.
The researchers examined the association between positive effect and memory decline, which accounts for age, gender, education, depression, and negative effect.
“Our findings have clearly showed that memory declined with people becoming older,” said
Claudia Haase, an associate professor at Northwestern University and senior author on the paper. “However, individuals with higher levels of positive effect had a less steep memory decline over the course of almost a decade,” added Emily Hittner, a PhD graduate of Northwestern University and the paper’s lead author. Areas of future research might address the pathways that could connect positive effect and memory, such as physical health or social relationships.
12. What can we infer from paragraph 1?
A. Our memory can last for a lifetime.
B. Enthusiasm can make people healthier.
C. Positive people can have a much better memory.
D. Physical and emotional factors can better memory.
13. Who might have participated in the study?
A. Old people.
B. Young teenagers.
C. Small kids.
D. Lovely babies.
14. What will the scientists research in the future?
A. How to make people live healthily and long.
B. Association between being positive and memory.
C. How to make people have a good physical and mental health.
D. Connection between physical health and mental health.
15. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A report.
B. A guidebook.
C. A brochure.
D. A magazine.

Time management is an important skill to develop. It can help you make the most out of each day, leading to success in areas like work and school. To manage your time, use your time productively by working in the right environment and prioritizing (按重要性排列) tasks.
16 The environment you work in can help with your overall productivity. There are no
strict rules about a work environment, so pick what feels right for you. Surround yourself with inspiring decorations that help you feel enthusiastic and passionate. 17
List your tasks in terms of importance. 18 To-do lists are a great tool, but organize them a little rather than just writing down everything that needs to get done. Group tasks in terms of importance.
Keep some work with you at all times. Take advantage of your downtime by keeping work with you at all times. 19 If you’re a student, think about investing in some audio-books or recording your lectures. While waiting in line or walking to class, you can listen to material for your courses.
Do not multitask. Many people assume multitasking is a great way to get more done each day and manage time wisely. However, focusing on multiple tasks at once actually makes you less productive.

B. Create the right environment to work.
C. Focus completely on one task at a time instead.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My family immigrated to Canada when I was about one year old. In those early years, we did not have much money. Our home was a simple rented apartment, which was rather poorly furnished. There certainly was not enough money for expensive outings. As a result, our weekends were filled with simple pleasures that we could do for free, like picnics, bike rides, and my favorite — trips to the library.
Thanks to the library’s children’s section, I fell in love with stories — silly ones, moving ones, and even educational ones. I would have my parents read the books that we borrowed over and over again until we needed to return them, or I would page through them myself, imagining the stories in my head, even though I was too young to read the words.
When I was about five years old and finally started to read on my own, I had a curious thought: I knew we could get books from the library or buy them in stores if we had the money, but where did books come from?
I asked my mother this question, to which she replied that the stories I loved were created in the imaginations of people called “writers”. These people then wrote them down so they could be shared with others.
Four decades later, I still remember that moment. It was as though I had been struck by lightning. Then and there, I knew my purpose in this world. I would be one of those writers. I would create stories and share them with the world.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

As a young child, I began writing by making up stories about animals or my toys. After a few years of constant writing practice, my hard work eventually paid off.

one of the+形容词最高级＋可数名词复数是固定用法，意
为“最……的……之一”。

故填greatest。

41. and 考查连词。

分析句子结构可知，空格前后为两个并列分句，两个分句之间是顺承关系，
应用and连接。

故填and。

42. leaves 考查名词的单复数。

leaf为可数名词，此处表示“一块用很多树叶铺成的金色地毯”，
应用leaf的复数形式。

故填leaves。

43. striking 考查词性转换。

分析句子结构可知，此处应用形容词修饰名词“appearance”。

故
填striking。

44. has become 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。

分析句子结构可知，空格所在句是and连接的并
列句，其时态和谓语动词的数应与前一个分句保持一致，故时态应用现在完成时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。

故填has become。

45. popularity 考查词性转换。

分析句子结构可知，句中缺少宾语，形容词“increasing”后应
用名词，表示“不断提升的知名度”。

故填popularity。

参考范文：
Dear Mr. Smith,
I have just learned a competition about showing Chinese cuisine among foreigners. On knowing that, I immediately thought of you, who are crazy about Chinese cuisine cooking. And I know you have learned several local traditional dishes from the experienced. It is a good opportunity for you to show your talent. In addition, you can communicate with top-ranking cooks or chefs.
The competition is scheduled to be held in the hall of our city television station on September 15th. If you’d like to have a try, go to the television station in person to sign up before the deadline of August 31th. If there is anything I can do for you, please contact me anytime.
I’m sure you will win first prize!
Yours,

Paragraph 1:
As a young child, I began writing by making up stories about animals or my toys. When I grew a little older, I filled countless notebooks with words and pictures. At that time I knew nothing about the skills required for writing, but I kept writing all the same, figuring I’d somehow learn these things over the years. As I grew into adolescence, I did start to learn some of the required skills. I learned grammar and basic story structure first in school, and then through writing stories. Paragraph 2:
After a few years of constant writing practice, my hard work eventually paid off. My writing skills have improved greatly. Apart from this, my works have won wide recognition. So far I’ve published several stories around the world for others to enjoy. I hope to publish a book one day.
However, I wouldn’t be where I am if it hadn’t been for my certainty of my purpose in life when I was a child.。
