Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. Here are a few examples.
1) "Once bitten, twice shy." If a dog bites me, I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it. This
proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs. If you have been cheated at a shop, you
will not go the same shop again.
2) "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." If I am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to
catch one than to see two birds in a bush but not able to catch them. Thus this means that what you have
already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.
3) "Too many cooks spoil the broth (soup)". When too many people do something, they get in each other"s
way and do a bad job.
4) "To pour oil on troubled waters" is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If a ship is in
trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people.
However, it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.
5) "Don"t be a dog in a manger( 槽 )" means " Don"t be selfish." In a stable ( 马房 ), the manger is the
place where the horse"s food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes
to get its food. The dog does want to eat the lay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.
6) "He is sitting on the fence" means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against
it. He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides, perhaps waiting to see which side will win.
7) "He who pays the piper calls the tune." A piper is a musician. The man who employs or pays a musician
can say what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan, he can say
how it will be carried out.
8) "You can"t get blood out of a stone" means that you cannot get something from a person who has not
got any of the things you want. e. g. you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man.

the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
1. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don"t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
2. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
3. Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
4. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won"t end if you don"t pass a test, so don"t be overly worried. There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
At 2:30 December 5, 1945, five US Navy training planes took off in clear weather from the base Lauderdale, Florida. The planes flew east over the coast… and disappeared. The group was Flight 19, on a run between
Florida and Bahamas. Tailor was the group leader. At about 3:40, Tailor reported that his compasses (指南针)
were not reading properly. The other planes followed their leaders aimlessly, first east, then west, then
northeast over the ocean, as Tailor tried to make sure of the direction by radio. Then, suddenly Tailor was
heard to give orders to dive…
Quickly, two giant Martin seaplanes were sent up to search for Flight 19. Several hours later, the wind
became strong and visibility (能见度) dropped. A return to base was ordered. But only one of the Martin
seaplanes landed. Four days later, the Navy and Coast Guard combed a 100,000 square-mile area with more
than 100 planes and ships. No sign was ever shown of the missing planes.
Today, people have noted the disappearance of many ships and planes in the southwest part of the North
Atlantic and began to call this area the Bermuda Triangle.
The points of the triangle are Bermuda, Puerto Rico and a particular place in the Gulf of Mexico, west of
Florida. It is a two-faced water world of tiny islands, bright beaches and beautiful waters. Yet thick fogs,
powerful currents (激流) and sudden storms are hidden behind this smiling surface.
B. In the northeast part of the Atlantic Ocean.
C. To the southwest of Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean.
D. To the northeast of Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean.
B. Six
C. Two
D. Only one.
B. fly over
C. do up one"s hair with a comb
D. search all over
(F = Florida, Bm = Bermuda, PR = Puerto Rico, Bh = Barhamas, MG =the Gulf of Mexico,
Atl = the Atlantic Ocean, B=Base)
Houston, a professor of the University of Massachusetts Medical School, led a group of scientists that
investigated how pre-recorded videos of hypertension (高血压) patients" talking about their medical histories
helped another group of patients with high blood pressure to control their condition over several months.
Houston was surprised by their studies that suggested that communication can be a powerful tool in
medicine. They showed that those who had had similar experiences, when talking to someone with a similar
background, could help change their behavior to become healthier. Hypertension is difficult to control, since
it is dependent on diet, exercise and mental state. Medical treatments with drugs, and lifestyle therapies(疗法)
have been relatively ineffective because people find it hard to follow those medical requirements.
In the test, his team carefully chose their story-tellers from 230 members of a patients" community with
whom they could most easily relate. Next, they divided their study population into two groups. One received
three interactive (互动) DVDs containing the tellers" stories of their experiences in living with and treating their
hypertension. The other were given educational discs on an unrelated health topic. The study volunteers
reported that they had listened to the DVDs, and after three months, those who heard the stories of the
hypertensive patients lowered their blood pressure.
While the study did not address how the story-telling influenced the patients" behavior, Houston suspects
that watching patients of similar backgrounds who had a similar medical experience helped to motivate them
to seek medical help to their hypertension. They found that after six months the difference in blood pressure
between those who watched the story-tellers and those who observed the unrelated videos remained,
suggesting that the story-telling continued to have an effect.
B. introduce some medical treatments of hypertension
C. introduce a good lifestyle for hypertensive patients
D. tell scientific discoveries of the scientist group
B. communication has some medical effects
C. medical treatments have no effect at all
D. people don"t follow the medical requirements
B. Both the groups used the same videos about health topic.
C. The two groups lowered blood pressure in different degrees.
D. The story-tellers were hypertension patients as well.
B. Medical treatments of blood pressure.
C. Storytelling may help lower blood pressure.
D. Suggestions about how to lower blood pressure.
on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ
instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the "look-say" or "whole-word"
method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively.
The whole-word approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking
over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the
recommended by advocates of"open" classrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally
ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no major publisher put out anything but these"Run-Spot-Run" readers.
However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called "the great debate" in beginning reading.
In his best-seller Why Johnny Can"t Read, Flesch indicted(控诉)the nation"s public schools for miseducating
students by using the look-say method. He said - and more scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra
later confirmed - that another approach to beginning reading, founded on phonics, is far superior.
Systematic phonics first teaches children to associate letters and letter combinations with sounds; it then
teaches them how to blend these sounds together to make words. Rather than building up a relatively limited
vocabulary of memorized words, it imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast majority of the
most common words in the English language can be learned. Phonics does not devalue the importance of
thinking about the meaning of words and sentences; it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and
necessary first step.
B. Rudolf Flesch agrees with him
C. he says it is boring
D. many schools continue to use this method
B. Phonics takes longer to learn
C. look-say is easier to teach
D. phonics gives readers access to far more words
B. start or cause
C. compare with
D. oppose
disastrous to the troubling. One such experiment took place in South America about fifty years ago.
Whether its final consequences will cause serious damage or nothing more than a small trouble still remains
to be seen.
The story began in 1956 when an American scientist working in Brazil decided to solve the problem of
increasing the productivity of that country"s bees. He imported a very active type of African bee from
Tanzania and mated (交配) it with the more easy-going native variety to produce a new kind of bees. The
new bees worked harder and produced twice as much honey. It seemed that Professor Kerr, for that was
the scientist"s name, had a total success on his hands.
Then things began to go wrong. For some reason as yet unseen, but perhaps as a result of something
in their environment, the new bees began to develop extremely attacking personalities. They became
bad-tempered and easy to be angry, attacked the native bees and drove them from their living places.
But worse was to follow. Having taken over the countryside, the new bees, with their dangerous stings
(叮), began to attack its neighbours-cats, dogs, horses, chickens and finally man himself. A long period of
terror began that has so far killed a great number of animals and about 150 human beings.
This would have been bad enough if the bees had stayed in Brazil. But now they are on the move,
heading northwards in countless millions towards Central and North America, and moving at the alarming
speed of 200 miles a year. The countries that lie in their path are naturally worried because it looks as if
nothing can be done to stop them.
B. have proved to be wrong
C. are not yet certain
D. are not important
B. make Brazilian bees more easy-going
C. increase the number of bees in Brazil
D. make African bees less active
B. Their hard work.
C. Their living environment.
D. Their bad temper.
B. the bees may bring about trouble in more countries
C. the bees must be stopped from moving north
D. the bees prefer to live in Brazil
