23、earn English well?”This is a question many students ask.In my opinion,the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart.If you can recite the text and write it out,youve learned it fairly well.And if you can tell,in your own words,what the lesson says,youre a very successful learner indeed.Your En

24、glish will be quite perfect.This is a difficult task.However,if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson,youll find it not half so hard as you might have thought.Learning this way,you will make rapid progress.Of course,writing is also necessary.It helps you a lot on our way to success in E

25、nglish.Equally important is to feel the language.You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news.When using English,try to forget your mother tongue.Instead of helping you,your own language gets in your way.So,never try to see English through translation.56.In the writers opinion,the

27、ntence means that memorizing your own language can _.A.stop you mastering English B.help you study English well C.make English easy to learn D.help you notice mistakes 58.The underlined words“to feel the language”here means_.A.to get a knowledge of English by touching B.to be able to read and write

28、English C.to be able to experience the rich feeling of the language D.to translate English into your own by imagining B Trees are useful to man in three important ways:they provide him with wood and other products;they give him shade;and they help to prevent droughts and floods.Unfortunately,in many

29、 parts of the world,man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important.In order to make money from trees,he has cut them down in large numbers,only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had.And besides,he is usually too careless to plant and look after ne

30、w trees.So the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees.The results are even more serious:for where there are trees,their roots break up soil-allowing the rain to sink in-and also keep the soil,thus preventing it from being washed away easily;but where there ar

31、e no trees,the rain falls on hard ground and flows away,causing floods and carrying away the rich topsoil.When all the topsoil is gone,nothing remains but worthless desert.Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships,with which to gain itself an empire.It s

32、et up the empire but,without its trees,its soil became poor and it grew weak.When the empire fell to pieces,the home country found itself faced with floods and starvation.59.What is the most important service of trees to man according to the passage?A.They help him make money.B.They help him prevent

33、 droughts and floods.C.They give him wood and other products.D.They give him shade.60.Why do forests in many parts of the world slowly disappear?A.New trees are not looked after properly.B.Many trees have been cut down by man.C.Man has not paid enough attention to planting trees.D.All of the above.6

34、1.Why did the country mentioned in the passage suffer from floods and starvation?A.Because it lost all its trees.B.Because the empire fell to pieces.C.Because an empire was set up.D.Because too much had been spent on wars.62.Why does land become desert after all trees are cut down?A.Because nothing

35、remains on land except floods.B.Because roots of the trees break up the soil.C.Because too much rain sinks in and washes away the topsoil.D.Because there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the topsoil.63.Which title best fits the passage?A.How do People deal with Trees?B.The Function o

36、f Tree Wood C.Trees and Man D.The Usage of Tree Roots C The terrible college entrance exam is not only a big challenge for Chinese high school students,but also a very important exam in the lives of South Korean students.Although the long,cold winter has already started in South Korea,the annual nat

37、ional exams have made the atmosphere very heated.More than 675,000 South Korean high school graduates took the college entrance exam last Wednesday.They usually take exams in Korean,maths,sociology,history and foreign languages.Officially there is one college place for every 1.33 students.But becaus

38、e all the students want to go to the top universities in the country,the competition can reach one place for 10 students.The students want to attend these colleges for both their famous names and better job opportunities.Because students face fierce competition,they have to study very hard to realiz

39、e their dreams.Park Seung said he and his classmates often go to school before 7:30 a.m.After school has finished at 6:30 p.m.,most of them go to the library to continue their study instead of returning home.Since many libraries in South Korea are open 24 hours a day,they often stay long into the ni

40、ght.Many of the Senior 3 students only sleep for three to four hours a day.“I feel a lot of pressure，but I have to study very hard in order to make my dream come true.This is my lifetime goal and it will be a turning point in my life which could decide my future,”Park said.The exam day is a very ser

41、ious day for the whole of South Korea.Vehicles are not allowed within a 200-metre radius(范围)of all the test sites to make sure the students have quiet surroundings.Tooting of horns(鸣笛)is forbidden,even airplanes are ordered to avoid landing and take-off near the test sites during listening comprehen

42、sion test hours.Students are told their scores in December before they apply for college.This is followed by face-to-face oral tests.There are public and private universities in South Korea.Many private universities are well-known,but their fees can be 18,000 yuan each term.This has made a lot of st

43、udents think again.64.In South Korea _.A.there is only one college B.there are a number of colleges C.there are only top universities D.there is only one top college 65.We can infer that there are almost _ college places for high school graduates.A.675,000 B.500,000 C.507,520 D.600,000 66.The studen

46、eadly”.Depression hits one person in five around the world.Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated,studies show that depression is a problem among everyone.Over any six-month period,between five to seven percent of the worlds population will be suffering

47、from a serious depression.Suicide(自杀)rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme,or clinical form were 80 percent higher than in the population as a whole,and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks.People who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping,g

48、etting up on time,and doing work unproductively.Depression,which researchers agree,has its origin in the genes,brings loss of confidence and ability to concentrate,making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently.Depression is made more serious in China by Chinese being unable to

49、face it.Many people believe that depressed people are either weak or lazy.Besides,there is no good treatment,with few medical experts available.“Most patients in China just dont get help,”a Chinese doctor says.“In my hospital,I have to see 30 or 40 patients in a morning.I just have time to say Hello

50、,how do you feel?”In Western countries,people are not afraid to admit that they have depression,but most do not tell it to their boss,because they fear that their boss would fire them.“In my experience,aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it,because they feel the most secure about th
