The mother waited till nine and her uneasiness got the upper hand over her. She decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that moment the noise of a car pulling up drew her to the window
and – there was her daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the girl came in , the mother was watching TV, pretending nothing had happened. “Mum, I’m back.”“Yeah.”“Sorry to be late.

Go to sleep early.”
Next morning when the mother went to the daughter’s room to do some tidying, she found her diary left at her pillow.

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly(完全地), four things are necessary. First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly with confidence and without hesitation. Thirdly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.
There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must “Learn through use”. Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.
76. The most important things to learn a foreign language are __________.
A. understanding and speaking
B. hearing, speaking, reading and writing
C. writing and understanding
D. memorizing and listening
77. Someone hears and writes English very well, but he speaks it very badly. This is because __________.
A. he doesn’t understand the language when he hears it spoken
B. he doesn’t have a good memory
C. he always remember lists of words and their meanings
D. he often hesitates to practise speaking it
78. One can never learn a foreign language well only by __________.
A. much practice
B. studying the dictionary
C. learning through use
D. using the language
79. Which of the following is the most important in learning a foreign language?
A. A good memory.
B. Speaking.
C. Practice.
D. Writing.
80. “Learn through use” means __________.
A. we use a language in order to learn it
B. we learn a foreign language in order to use it
C. we can learn a language well while we are using it
D. both B and C
C
Frank Lloyd Wright probably is the greatest architect that the United States has ever produced. He was very gifted and had a natural ability to design buildings. His buildings were not only beautiful, but they were also practical and useful. They fit their purposes very well. Wright’s churches, for example, make people feel like thinking and praying. His office buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people feel comfortable at home. However, Frank Lloyd Wright’s beautiful, practical and usef ul buildings are not the only reason that he is famous. There is another reason.
Frank Lloyd Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture. Most of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European, not American. Wright’s buildings do not look like old European buildings. They have their own style. Wright’s ideas about style are still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.
The most important idea in Frank Lloyd Wright’s Style of Architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it . His houses are often called “grass-land houses” because their lines are similar to the lines on the grassland. Both the lines of the grassland and the lines of Wright’s house are parallel（平行的）to the horizon, the place where earth and sky seem to meet. They are horizontal lines. Most European style houses, in contrast, have many vertical lines that form 90°angles with the horizon.
81. Frank Lloyd Wright’s style i n architecture was _________.
A. learned from some European countries
B. not only limited to the U.S
C. no longer popular
D. somewhat similar to the European style
82. Which of the following best describes the character of the houses that Wright designed?
A. They were very large and beautiful.
B. They were very comfortable.
C. They could be used as churches.
D. They were beautiful in design but not practical in use.
83. What’s the most important idea in Wright’s style?
A. Architectural design should match natural surroundings.
B. A building must have grassland around it.
C. American style in architect should be different from the European’s
D. Design should be more important than use.
84.Which of the follow ing is NOT true about Wright’s “grass-land houses”?
A. The lines of “grass-land houses” are similar to lines on the grassland.
B. The lines of “grass-land houses” are horizontal.
C. The color of the lines of “grass-land houses” is green.
D. They are different from European style houses.
85. The best title for this passage would be _________.
A. The Differences between the American and European Styles in Architecture
B. “Grass-land”” houses Designed by Wright
C. How to Make Your Houses More Beautiful
D. The Influence of Wright on American Architecture
D
The first English dictionary was published in 1604. The dictionary was actually nothing more than a list of about 3, 000 difficult words, each followed by a one-word definition.
The author, Robert Cawdrey, made no attempt to include everyday words in his dictionary. No one, he reasoned, would ever have to look up a word in a dictionary if he already knew the meaning of the word. During the 1600’s more dictionaries were published. Each followed Cawdrey’s l ead and presented a few thousand hard words. Around 1700 one dictionary maker, John Kersey, did define easy words as well as hard words. But until the 1750’s all the dictionaries were rather crude and not very valuable.
A man named Dr Samuel Johnson changed all this. In 1755 Dr Johnson produced the first modern dictionary. He included in his dictionary all important words, both easy and hard, and he gave good meanings. He also gave good sentences to show how each word was actually used in speech and in writ ing. By the end of the 1700’s most dictionary makers had followed Johnson’s example. Dictionaries were getting better and better.
The 1800’s saw the greatest improvement in the quality of dictionaries. In England scholars planned and prepared the Oxford English Dictionary, a twenty-volume (卷；册；部) work. One of the most interesting features of the Oxford Dictionary is its word histories. It traces (追溯；探索) the history of each word from its earliest recorded use up to the time of the printing of the dictionary.
86. The first English dictionary _________.
A. defined easy words as well as hard ones
B. was just a list of difficult words with one-word definitions
C. included a number of everyday words
D. was considered to be a very valuable one
87. According to the passage, before 1755 all English dictionaries _________.
A. were of no value
B. only defined hard words
C. defined both easy words as well as hard words
D. were far from being perfect
88. Which of the following statements is not true about Dr Johnson’s dictionary?
A. It was not very valuable.
B. It was the first modern English dictionary.
C. It included easy words as well as hard ones.
D. It gave sentences to show the usage of words.
89. The most interesting feature of the Oxford Dictionary was that _________.
A. it had a complete list of difficult words
B. it gave sentences showing how each word was actually used
C. it was a 20-volume work
D. it showed the history of each word
90. This passage is mainly about _________.
A. the difference of English dictionaries
B. the origin of English dictionaries
C. the development of English dictionaries
D. the features of English dictionaries
