Speak, speak, speak!
Practise speaking as often as you can. Speaking to yourself is good practice.
Try recording yourself whenever you can.
Compare your pronunciation with the master version（原版）to see how you can do better and have another go. If you do this several times, you will find that each time is better than last.
Why not learn with someone else?
It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you, it will make you keep working.
Don't get stuck by a word you don't know.
Practise improving ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously（本能地），even if you don't know the exact words or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare time. Use facial expressions, hand movements, anything to make yourself understood.
Language learning is also about intuition（直覺）．
Guesswork is an important way to learn a new language. When listening to recorded material, you aren't expected to understand everything first time round. If you play the same piece several times, you will most probably understand something new each time.
Build up your vocabulary.
A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don’t try to learn too much at once. It’s best to study frequently, for short periods of time. Take at most six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them. Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind, and then come back to them later.
And above all, have fun!

(D)
You can not see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.
When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.
Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.
小題1:You can see the book because_______.
A．your eyes are close to it B．it reflects some of the sunlight
C．it has light of its ownD．your eyesight can get to it
小題2:The underlined word “l(fā)uminous” means_______.
A．visibleB．a(chǎn)ll colorsC．giving off lightD．sunlight
小題3:________ have light of their own.
A．The sun and the moonB．The stars and the earth
C．The sun and the starsD．The moon and the earth
小題4:Which of the following is true?
A．All the things you can see give off light.
B．Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.
C．The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.
D．Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.

Earlier this year, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed a stricter nationwide health standard for smog-causing pollutants that would bring substantial benefits to millions of Americans. With a final rule expected by the end of this month, some opponents, mainly from industrial and oil-producing states, are pushing back. They say investments required to produce cleaner air are too expensive and not scientifically justified.
Lisa Jackson, the E.P.A. administrator, needs to stick to her guns. This is only the first of several political tests to come this fall, as she also seeks to tighten rules governing individual pollutants like mercury and global warming gases like carbon dioxide.
The health standard she is proposing covers ground-level ozone, commonly known as smog, which is formed when sunlight mixes with pollutants from factories, refineries, power plants and automobiles. Ozone is a major health threat, contributing to heart disease and various respiratory (呼吸道的) problems.
Ms. Jackson’s proposal—to reduce the permitted level of smog in the air from the current 75 parts per billion to between 60 parts per billion and 70 parts per billion—is sensible, no matter what industry’s defenders may claim. It had been recommended by the agency’s independent scientific panel but rejected by the Bush administration, which proposed a weaker standard.
Industry will have to make investments in cleaner power plants, and new technologies may be required. As it is, about half the counties that monitor ozone levels are not yet in compliance with current standards, let alone the proposed standard.
Fears about burdening industry raised by critics like George Voinovich, a Republican of Ohio, and Mary Landrieu, a Democrat of Louisiana, cannot be dismissed out of hand, especially in the middle of a recession (蕭條). But the health benefits, E.P.A. says, far outweigh the costs, and the time frame for compliance (服從) is generous.
小題1:Why are some people strongly against a stricter limitation of smog-caused pollutants?
A．Because they have to live a poorer life.
B．Because they think they have to spend more money.
C．Because they hold different political view.
D．Because they want to make more money.
小題2: What does Ms Jackson propose to do?
A．To reduce the permitted smog level as much as possible.
B．To raise the permitted smog level as much as possible.
C．To keep the permitted smog level from 60 to 70 to 75 parts per billion.
D．To lower the permitted smog level from 75 to 60 to 70 parts per billion.
小題3:What is the attitude of the author to the smog-controlling issue?
A．Objective.B．Subjective.C．Critical.D．Unknown.
小題4:Which of the following can serve as the best title of the whole passage?
A．Cleaner power plant on the way.
B．Say no to smog pollutants.
C．Lower smog pollutant, better our life.
D．Debate on smog pollutants.

Sharks have lived in the oceans for over 450 million years, long before dinosaurs appeared. There are now about 360 species of sharks, whose size, behavior, and other characteristics differ widely.
Every year, we catch and kill over 100 million sharks, mostly for food and for their fins. Dried shark fins are used to make shark fin soup, which sells for as much as $50 a bowl in fine Hong Kong restaurants. Other sharks are killed for sport and out of fear. Sharks are vulnerable(易受傷的) to overfishing because it takes most species 10 to 15 years to begin reproducing and they produce only a few offspring（后代）.
Influenced by movies and popular novels, most people see sharks as people-eating monsters. This is far from the truth. Every year, a few types of shark injure about 100 people worldwide and kill about 25. Most attacks are by great white sharks, which often feed on sea lions and other marine（海洋的） mammals. They sometimes mistake human swimmers for their normal prey, especially if they are wearing black wet suits.
If you are a typical ocean-goer, your chances of being killed by an unprovoked（非受挑釁而發(fā)生的）attack by a shark are about 1 in 100 million. You are more likely to be killed by a pig than a shark and thousands of times more likely to get killed when you drive a car.
Sharks help save human lives. In addition to providing people with food, they are helping us learn how to fight cancer, bacteria, and viruses. Sharks are very healthy and have aging processes similar to ours. Their highly effective immune system allows wounds to heal quickly without becoming infected, and their blood is being studied in connection with AIDS research.
Sharks are among the few animals in the world that almost never get cancer and eye cataracts（白內(nèi)障）. Understanding why can help us improve human health. Chemicals taken from shark cartilage（軟骨）have killed cancerous tumors in laboratory animals, research that someday could help prolong your life.
Sharks are needed in the world’s ocean ecosystems. Although they don’t need us, we need them. We are much more dangerous to sharks than they are to us. For every shark that bites a person, we kill one million sharks.
小題1:Which of the following is NOT a reason why people kill sharks?
A．People kill sharks for food.
B．People kill sharks for sport.
C．People kill sharks out of fear.
D．People kill sharks because they often attack swimmers.
小題2:According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．There are many different species of sharks, but only a few of them are dangerous to humans.
B．Sharks never get ill.
C．Sharks are a valuable resource for human.
D．Sharks play an important role in the ocean ecosystem.
小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A．movies have given people the wrong impression of sharks
B．most sharks are dangerous to humans
C．sharks will attack anyone who is wearing black
D．it is dangerous to swim in the ocean
小題4:The underlined word “prolong” in the last but one paragraph means ______.
A．saveB．protectC．lengthenD．improve
小題5:The best title for the passage would be _______.
A．Are Sharks Dangerous?B．Sharks And Humans
C．Sharks: Humans’ FriendsD．Sharks Help Save Human Lives

EAT YOUR VEGETABLES.Wash your hands. Always say  “please” and “thank you”. We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how tomanage their money.
　　Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives:
　　Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1.000,invest(投資)it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time she’s 65,she would have $980,983!
　　Be careful of credit(信用).Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.
　　Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150.Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside,say,$15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.
　　Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving. “For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot,” says Cathy Pareto, expert in money planning.
　　Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined, says Eilleen Gallo,co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really don’t want to buy it.“You might say, ‘I’d rather save that money for your  education,’” advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don’t spend money, you have a chance to share your values.
小題1:The writer gives some basics to help________ in a proper way.
A．parents teach their children how to deal with money
B．children follow their parents’ instructions
C．children manage their money
D．parents save their money
小題2:The writer thinks that, if a child wants to buy something, his parents should________.      .
A．give him some regular pocket money
B．encourage him to put money away for it
C．explain to him the importance of investment
D．tell him to save some money by using a credit card
小題3:The underlined word “incentive” in paragraph 6 means_________.       .
A．honorB．praiseC．excitementD．encouragement
小題4:What leads the writer to write this article?_________
A．Parents want to know how to educate their children.
B．He wants to share his good ideas about money matters.
C．He thinks money management the most important for children.
D．Parents care Little about their children’s management of money.

Scientists would like to place a huge mirror in space above the earth. It might be sixty miles wide. It would be used to catch the rays (光線) of the sun. It would direct the sun’s rays upon the earth as a child might do to make sunlight dance on the wall with a hand mirror.
Why do they want to do this? The sun’s rays could be helpful in many ways. They could light up cities by night. The warm rays could stop frosts (霜凍) which might come at night and hurt fruit crops. They could melt (融化) dangerous icebergs in the ocean. Perhaps they could change cloud movements and bring rain where it is needed.
小題1:The huge mirror would ______.
A．stand 60 miles in height (高度) B．be 60 miles from side to side
C．cover 60 miles of the earth D．be 60 miles above the earth
小題2:The mirror would be used to ______.
A．reflect (反射) sunlightB．a(chǎn)bsorb (吸收) sunlight
C．see what the earth looks like D．see how clouds move
小題3:The strong light from the mirror could possibly ______.
A．hurt fruit cropsB．set fire to cities
C．bring longer daytimeD．shine through walls
小題4:The huge mirror is ______.
A．something in a story B．a(chǎn)lready made
C．just an ideaD．to be made soon

Animals Can Sense Natural Disasters
Among the dead in South Asia’ s tsunami（海嘯）were many tourists at Sri Lanka’ s national wildlife park at Yala. But very few of the park’s animals — elephants, buffaloes, monkeys and wild cats — appear to have died. There are theories that animals can sense natural disasters and run away to safety.
First, it’s possible that the animals may have heard the quake before the tsunami hit. The underwater burst produced sound waves known as infrasound（次聲）. Humans can’t hear infrasound, but many animals including dogs, elephants, tigers and pigeons can.
A second early warning sign the animals might have sensed is ground vibration（震動）. The great quake would have produced vibrational waves known as Rayleigh waves. These vibrations move through the ground like waves moving on the surface of the ocean but faster. They travel at ten times the speed of sound. The Rayleigh waves would have reached Sri Lanka hours before the water hit. Mammals, birds, insects and spiders can sense Rayleigh waves. So the animals at Yala might have felt the Rayleigh waves and then run to higher ground.
But what about humans? While we can’t hear infrasound, we can feel it, although we don’t necessarily know we’re feeling it. We also experience Rayleigh waves by special sensors in our joints（關(guān)節(jié)）, which exist just for that purpose. Sadly, it seems we don’t pay attention to the information when we get it. Maybe we screen it out because there’s so much going on before our eyes and in our ears.
小題1:Why did few animals at Yala die when the tsunamis that caused a huge number of human deaths hit?
A．Because human beings cannot hear the infrasonic sound.
B．Because the animals were staying at a higher place in the park.
C．Because the animals were able to run much faster than human beings.
D．Because the animals might have picked up the danger signals and ran away.
小題2:Which of the statements about “Rayleigh waves” is true?
A．Rayleigh waves can be felt both by animals and human beings.
B．Rayleigh waves, just like infrasonic sound, can only be felt by animals.
C．Rayleigh waves are vibrational waves that usually cause quakes or tsunamis.
D．Rayleigh waves move on the ocean surface at a speed ten times that of sound waves.
小題3:According to the passage, which of the statement is true?
A．We can’t feel the infrasound so we can’t be informed of the danger.
B．We ignore the information of tsunami’s coming even though we can also get it.
C．We were so busy on our minds that we feel neither infrasound nor Rayleigh waves.
D．We can feel Rayleigh waves and infrasound so we can escape the danger like animals.
