【題目】Anyone studying a foreign language knows the importance of memorizing words and expressions. 【1】 We still also tell you ways about developing a large vocabulary.

You have probably faced a situation in which you can’t remember new words. Perhaps you haven’t heard the word enough times or you haven’t used it for a very long time. 【2】

The easiest way to enlarge your vocabulary is to create flashcards. The word in English can appear on one side of the card. 【3】 By repeatedly using flashcards, you can remember more words. The important point is that you should not try cramming (突擊學(xué)習(xí)) unfamiliar words if you want to have long-term learning. This method can help students on some exams. But a couple of days later you’re not going to remember any of that information. 【4】 There are several websites that can help with testing. English learners can be helped by taking free language tests, which can be of great help to show you where you need to improve.

【5】 However, with effort, a little sacrifice, and training, you can increase your number of vocabulary words.

A. You can also try using some free online tests.

B. Building a large vocabulary is not an easy task.

C. The difficulty in remembering and using words counts.

【題目】 Anecdotal evidence has long held that creativity in artists and writers can be associated with living in foreign parts. Rudyard Kipling, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Paul Gauguin, Samuel Beckett and others spent years living abroad. Now a pair of psychologist has proven that there is indeed a link.

As they report in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, William Maddux of INSEAD, a business school in Fontainebleau, France, and Adam Galinsky, of the Kellogg School of Management in Chicago, presented 155 American business students and 55 foreign ones studying in America with a test used by psychologists as a measure of creativity Given a candle, some matches and a box of drawing pins, the students were asked to attach the candle to a cardboard wall so that no wax would drip on the floor when the candle was lit. (The solution is to use the box as a candleholder and fix it to the wall with the pin.) They found 60% of the students who were either living abroad or had spent some time doing so, solved the problem, whereas only 42% of those who had not lived abroad did so.

A follow-up study with 72 Americans and 36 foreigners explored their creative negotiating skills. Pairs of students were asked to play the role of seller of a petrol station who then needed to get a job and a buyer who would need to hire staff to run the business. The two were likely to reach a deadlock because the buyer had been told he could not afford what the seller was told was his minimum price. Nevertheless, when both negotiators had lived abroad 70 % struck a deal in which the seller was offered a management job at the petrol station in return for a lower asking price. When neither of the negotiators had lived abroad, none was able to reach a deal.

Merely travelling abroad, however, was not enough. You do have to live there. Packing your beach towel and suntan lotion will not, by itself make you Hemingway.

【1】What is the purpose of mentioning the famous names in the opening paragraph?

A. To show the relationship between creativity and living abroad.

B. To indicate the link between artistic creation and life experience.

C. To emphasize how great these artists are.

D. To impress the importance of creativity.

【2】What can be inferred from the text?

A. William Maddux and Adam Galinsky have carefully designed the test.

B. Negotiators who had lived abroad are more flexible in negotiating.

C. American business students are less creative than those oversea students.

D. One's creativity is associated with the length one has spent abroad.

【3】What does the author mean in the last sentence of paragraph 4?

A. There exist sharp differences between travelling and living abroad.

B. You shouldn't lie on the beach when travelling.

C. Only real experience of living abroad can help drive creativity.

D. Living abroad is more meaningful than just travelling abroad.

【4】Where is the text most likely from?

A. A diary.B. A magazine.

C. A novel.D. A guidebook.

【題目】Rescue officials in Poland are working quickly to clear one of the country’s highways. The roadway is covered with a sticky brown material. It is blocking cars from both directions.

What is causing the mess? Milk chocolate. The problems began early Wednesday, after a huge truck carrying many tons of liquid chocolate overturned. Chocolate spilled out. It spread across six driveways of Poland’s A2 highway.

The liquid chocolate solidified（凝固）as it cooled, causing even more difficulties. The accident happened near the western Polish town of Slupca. Bogdan Kowalski is with the fire fighters of Slupca. He told the Associated Press that “the cooling chocolate is worse than snow”.

Videos published on social media showed rescuers and cleaners were trying to move the sticky brown mess with a bulldozer（推土機(jī)）.

The private Polish broadcaster TVN24 reported that the driver of the truck was taken to a hospital with a broken arm. The accident happened in the morning when there was little traffic. Nobody else was harmed.

The sticky situation became a hot topic on social media. Some people offered to help the clean-up workers by eating the chocolate themselves.

Marlene Kukawa is a media officer for Slupea police. She told the New York Times that rescue workers needed to remove the truck from the highway first. “The cleanup”, she said at the time, “will take a few hours or more.” She added that accidents are rare in this part of the A2 highway. And, she told the New York Times, she is sure the area has never experienced something quite like a huge chocolate spill.

【1】What caused the traffic trouble?

A. A broken-down car. B. Cars stuck on the highway.

C. Serious traffic accidents. D. The liquid chocolate.

【2】What made the situation even worse?

A. The difficulty to get rid of the chocolate. B. Fear caused by videos on social media.

C. The chocolate becoming hard. D. Snow falling on the highway.

【3】Why did some people offer to eat the chocolate?

A. To avoid wasting the chocolate. B. To reduce loss for the driver.

C. To play a joke. D. To solve the problem.

【4】What did Marlene Kukawa think of the incident?

A. It happened very rarely. B. It was the most serious accident.

C. It was unexpected by other drivers. D. It was lucky that no one was killed.

【題目】 Until the 1990s coffee was rarely served in China except at luxury hotels aimed at foreigners. When Starbucks opened its first outlet there in 1999, it was far from clear that the country’s avid tea-drinkers would take to such a different-and usually more costly- source of caffeine. Starbucks tried to attract customers unused to coffee’s bitter taste by promoting milk and sugar-heavy concoctions(調(diào)和) such as Frappuccinos.

But coffee has become fashionable among the middle class in China. Starbucks now has about 3, 800 outlets in China- more than in any other country outside America. Statista, a business-intelligence portal(門戶網(wǎng)站), says the roast coffee market in China is growing by more than 10 % a year. Starbucks and its rivals see big opportunities for expanding there.

So too, however, do home-grown competitors. A major new presence is Luckin Coffee, Beijing- based chain. Since its founding less than two years ago, it has opened more than 2,300 outlets. On May 17th Luckin’s initial public offering on the Nasdaq stockmarket raised more than $570m, giving it a value of about $4bn.

Luckin’s remarkable growth is sign of change. No longer do Chinese consumers see coffee as such a luxury. Most of Luckin’s outlets are merely kiosks where busy white-collar workers pick up their drinks, having ordered them online. Super-fast delivery can also be arranged through the company’s app. Independent coffee shops are springing up. The growth is striking given the country’s reputation for its tea-drinking culture where many residents like to relax in teahouses sipping tea served gracefully.

But the two markets are different. The teahouses tend to cater to older people who like to spend long hours playing mahjong and gossiping. At the coffee shops it is rare to see anyone over 40. Young people use them for socialising, but much of their interaction is online -sharing photos of their drinks and of the coffee-making equipment. An option on the Chinese rating app Dianping allows users to search for wanghong ("internet viral") coffee houses: ones with particularly photogenic decor(照片裝飾) where better to sip and We Chat?

【1】How did Starbucks try to appeal to Chinese consumers?

A.By reducing the price slightly.B.By introducing the benefits of coffee.

C.By making coffee taste not so bitter.D.By promoting its products effectively.

【2】What does Luckin Coffee’s growth suggest?

A.People tend to like coffee’s bitter taste.

B.People’s views on coffee-drinking have changed.

C.People in China can afford coffee now.

D.Tea is no longer part of Chinese culture.

【3】What does the underlined word “kiosks” in paragraph 4 mean?

A.Places where people can drink beer.

B.Restaurants where food can be taken away.

C.Shops aimed at people who like drinking coffee.

D.Small shops or stores where newspapers and drinks are sold.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Coffee is taking off in China.

B.Tea-drinking is not popular.

C.Coffee or tea, which do you prefer?

D.Coffee has become people’s favorite in China.

【題目】Since his early childhood, G. A. Minton has always been a faithful fan of science fiction and horror. Whenever a scary movie was playing at the local theatre, he was there in attendance with his friends, loudly screaming in terror.

In his everyday life, Minton likes playing the game of golf most, having lettered on his high school golf team. In addition to writing, he also enjoys reading, traveling, fishing, swimming, working out, listening to hard rock music, and watching great movies－especially those about horror, science fiction, mystery and comedy.

Strangely enough, it was only after Minton was knocked down by a drunk driver and suffered a closed-head injury that he developed a new found passion for writing. After the car accident, he suffered from both memory loss and problems communicating with others, which frustrated him to no end. He had to go to see his doctor on a regular basis and for weeks he had to take medicine used by patients who are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Luckily, his brain slowly began to mend itself.

At the end of the healing process, something was very different. He noticed that he had developed a strong urge to write down a story that had formed in his mind. That’s how his first novel Trisomy XXI was born. He penned（寫作）it in only three months. He began with chapter one and wrote in a freestyle manner—almost in a stream of consciousness. The narrative flowed freely from his vivid imagination, creating a thrilling tale of terror that is formed from an ordered sequence of events.

One could think that the damaged neurons（神經(jīng)元）had rearranged themselves into a different pattern, and thus improving the creative elements in his brain. Besides, stranger things have happened! He has recently completed his second novel. Currently, his brain is busy at work, seriously processing the text for another -story of the terror-one that will both entertain and horrify its unsuspecting reader!

【1】From Paragraph 2, we know that G.

A. Minion .

A. likes writing best in high school

B. is a man of multiple interests

C. wants to become a golf player

D. hopes to make a horror movie

【2】What happened to Minton after the accident?

A. His memory was improved. B. His brain was damaged permanently.

C. His creative ability was inspired. D. He suffered from Alzheimer’s disease.

【3】What can we infer about Minton’s first novel from the text?

A. It was written in a strict manner.

B. It was intended to amuse crazy readers.

C. It was based on Minton’s own experience.

D. It might not be written but for Minton’s injury.

【4】Which of .he following can best describe Minton’s experience?

A. Good luck always comes out of misfortune.

B. A bad beginning makes a good ending.

C. It’s hard sailing when there is no wind.

D. More haste, less speed.
