They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meanings of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.36．According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?A. Reading and listening.B. Reading and writing.C. Writing and speaking.D. Speaking and listening.37．The underlined phrase "come across" in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by "_______".A. discoverB. meet by accidentC. find on purposeD. look for38．The author seems to agree with the view that_______.A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every dayB. you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every dayC. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listeningD. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing39．The passage is mainly about how to_______.A. choose suitable listening materialsB. deal with new words in readingC. improve your English as quickly as possibleD. become fluent in speaking and writing EnglishBGoing green seems to be fad （时尚）for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really s ay, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic（有机的）stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.40．What might be the best title for the passage?A．Going Green.B．Protecting the Planet.C．Keeping Open-Minded.D．Celebrating Our Green Year.41．It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because . A．they were expected to follow othersB．they didn’t know how to educate other peopleC．they were unwilling to reduce their energyD．they needed to perform unusual green tasks42．What is the couple’s main reason for going green every day for a whole year?A．To follow a green fad like many other people.B．To completely change their unhealthy lifestyle.C．to show people how to go green to help our planet.D．to show they never do anything ungreen.43．What did the couple do over the course of their Green Year?A．They sold their home-made food.B．They ignore others’ ungreen behavior.C．They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.D．They chose better chemical cleaners.44．What can we infer form the last paragraph?A．The government will give support to the green people.B．The couple may continue their project in the future.C．Some people disagree with the couple’s green ideas.D．Our Green Year is becoming a national action.CPeople in the United States honour their parents with two special days: Mother's Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father's Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care to their children. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with childcare.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day people wear camations（康乃馨）. A red one symbolizes（象征）a living mother. A white one shows that mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honour their parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues(烤肉)for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is "the thought that counts".Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.45．Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for their parents?A. Their parents bring them up.B. Their parents give love and care to them.C. Their parents educate them to be good persons.D. Their parents passed away before they grew up.46．What do you learn from the passage?A. Mother's Day and Father's Day are both in May.B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.C. Not all the children respect their parents.D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.47．Which do you think is RIGHT about "carnation" ?A. It only has two kinds of colour.B. It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother's Dayor Father's Day.C. It's a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.DI was in a terrible mood．Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me．I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in．“Want to go for a ride，today，Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”“No ! Leave me alone!” Those were the las t words I said to him that morning．My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later．I forgot to be mad at them and when I came home to find a note on the table．My mother put it where I would be sure to see it．“Dad has had an accident．Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”．When I reached the hospital，my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911，thank God! If he had moved Daddy，there’s no telling what might have happened．A broken rib（肋骨）might have pierced（穿透）a lung….”My mother may have said more，but I didn’t hear．I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words：Leave me alone．My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more．How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day?It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation．I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him．“Daddy…I am so sorry….”“It’s okay，sweetheart．I'll be okay．”“No，”I said，“I mean about what I said to you that day．You know, that morning?”My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly．He looked at me and said．“Sweetheart, I don’t remember anything about that day，not before，during or after the accident. I remember kissing you goodnight the night before，though．”He managed a weak smile．My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power．They can hurt or they can heal．And we all have the power to choose our words．I intend to do that very carefully from now on.48．The author was in bad mood that morning because .A．his father had a terrible accidentB．he couldn’t drive to the mall with his friendsC．his friends hadn’t invited him to the cinemaD．his father didn’t allow him to go o ut with his friends49．Why did the author say sorry to his father in the hospital?A．Because he didn’t go along with his father．B．Because he was rude to his father that morning．C．Because he failed to come earlier after the accident．D．Because he couldn’t look after his father in the hospital50．The reason why the author’s father said he forgot everything about that day is that．A．he had a poor memoryB．he didn’t want to comfort his sonC．he just wanted to comfort his sonD．he lost his memory after the accident51．What lesson did Beck learn from the matter?A．Don’t treat your parents badly．B．Don’t hurt others with rude words．C．Don’t move the injured in an accident．D．Don’t be angry with friends at small thinE首先请阅读下列警方通报查找人员的信息：police having beenarrested several times for pick-pocketing.for car theft and police for several armedrobbery of grocery stores, banks and post offices.Details: Arrested 4 times for the selling of drugs and from prison where he served 2 years for selling stolen以下是相关事件及人物的描述,请把描述与相关插图及提示性文字匹配起来。
