Most dictionaries will tell you a number of things about a language. There are three important things. These three things are spelling, pronunciation and meaning.

First, a dictionary will tell you the spelling of a word. If you are not sure about the spelling of a word, you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in an alphabetical(字母表的) order--- a, b, c and so on. For example, on a dictionary page the “poor” comes before “poverty” and the word “poverty” comes before the “power”. The words are always given in alphabetical order. The second thing, a dictionary will tell you the pronunciation. Most dictionaries give phonetic (语音的), or sound alphabet. The phonetic alphabet(音标) shows pronunciation. The third thing, a dictionary will tell you the meaning of words. You can look up a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary will tell you all of the word’s meanings. For example, in English the common word “get” has over 20 different meanings.

21. Many words have_______.

1. several meanings B. one meaning C. few meanings D. no meaning

22. A good dictionary will tell you_____

1. more of word’s pronunciation B.more of the word’s meanings

While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter（电表）, he showed him where the meter was, said goodbye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn’t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.

In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi. When Harry’s taxi stopped outside his office, a policeman happened to be standing there. He saw the blood on Harry’s shirt and took him to the police station. He was kept till 3 o’clock in the afternoon before the policeman was sure that he was not the man they wanted.

In today’s world, almost everyone knows that air pollution and water pollution are harmful to people’ health. However, not all the persons know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and this is harmful to people’ health, too.

People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf today. However, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave（编织） cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, for these young people like to listen to pop music and pop music is a kind of noise, Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people ill or even drive them mad.

It is said a continuous noise of over 85 decibels（分贝）can cause deafness. Now the government in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels.

In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise problems.

28. The text is mainly about ______.

A. air pollution B. water pollution C. noise pollution D. world pollution

The Chinese word “Shanzhai” means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes (假货), after “Shanzhai Cell-phones” produced by small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years.

Besides “Shanzhai” electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies, “Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Gala (联欢晚会), a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve.

“Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous. In Chongqing, “Shanzhai” version “Bird’s Nest” and “Water Cube” woven by farmers with bamboo attract wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing.

A literature critic said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the “Shanzhai” version appears timely to attract people. “Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, ‘Shanzhai’ culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” he said.

To the mainstream (主流的) culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge and a motivation (动力). People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect situation and it is for the public to choose.

32. The Chinese word “Shanzhai” may have started with ______.

A. fake cell-phone B. electronic products C. Spring Festival Gala D. Olympic buildings

33. According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture refers to ______.

A. the action that a person imitates(模仿) famous people

B. products with poor techniques and quality

C. anything that imitates something famous

D. those similar names to famous brands(品牌)

34. We can infer that the mainstream culture ______.

A. is held back by “Shanzhai” culture

B. is the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture

C. will be replaced by “Shanzhai” culture

D. may develop faster because of the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture

35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A. “Shanzhai” culture will definitely(注定地) disappear

B. “Shanzhai” culture takes on life of its own

C. “Shanzhai” culture — the mainstream culture

D. “Shanzhai” culture — the mountain village culture

Nowadays in the United States, more and more people are beginning to build underground houses which save open land. When houses are underground, there is more land for parks, playgrounds and gardens. Underground houses also save energy. They use only a little energy to stay warm or cool.

As we know, the idea of underground houses is very old. People in the past lived in underground houses and underground cities in China. And today you can find large underground shopping centers in China, Japan, South Korea and Canada as well. Some countries also build underground factories and shop-houses to hold things.

Joyce Rinker has an underground house in Michigan. One day in February, the outside temperature was a cold -22°C, but the temperature inside his house was a warm 16°C. The next year, in July, the outside temperature was a hot 42°C, but the temperature inside was a comfortable 22°C.
