30、lp make the difficult task of studying English easier. For instance, it is beneficial to treat new words in different ways according to how （2）frequently they occur in everyday use: active words you must practice （3） over and over again :useful words you must （4）commit to memory; words that seldom

31、occur in everyday situations require just a nodding （5）acquaintance. It also pays to （6）watch out for idiomatic ways of saying things in english. As idiomatic usage often causes difficulties for Chinese students, you must pay close attention to the way native speakers （7）communicate. Language learn

32、ing is , in fact ,an active （8）process .Students who make a conscious effort to practice English, who seek out （9）opportunities to use what they have learned, are more successful than those who （10）rely on the teacher to do the whole job. Undoubtedly, it is all important to （11）put into practice thr

33、ough speaking and writing what you have （12）absorbed from reading and listening. 2. Fill in the missing words: Many of you are studying English and you may be wondering why ti is so difficult to learn. It is actually not that difficult to learn （1）if you know some basic facts （2）about the langu

34、age and culture that （4）it reflects Perhaps the first thing you need to （4）know about English is that it is make （5）up of several other languages such （6）as French, German, Latin, Greek and Anglo-Saxon. In （7） addition ,there are words from Spanish in English and many American Indian words and nam

35、es；（8）even some Chinese and Japanese words have found their way （9）into the English language. This borrowing of words from （10）other languages is one of the key reasons （11）for some of the difficulties that people meet with （12）while they are learning English. Unit2 The story of Francis Chichest

36、er, as retold here is one of heroism and adventure in the face of great danger.（1）In spite of his suffering from lung （2）cancer,the 65-year-old Chichester was （3）determined to （4）accomplish his dream of sailing single-handed round the world. In August, 1966,he （5）set out form England on the first le

37、g of his （6）voyage to Australia .After 107days as sea, he arrived in Sydney.Due to his weakened condition, his friends made repeated attempts to （7）dissuade him from going any further. He refused to （8）give up however; and after a few weeks' rest he set off once again. When he arrived back in Englan

38、d in May 1967,he had （9）coverde28,500miles, a distance no one had （10）previously sailed alone. He was given a hero's welcome. 2.Fill in the missing words: The voyage began because I was terrified of Cape Horn If anything terrifies me , I must （1）conquer it. I had read terrible things written （2

39、）about Cape Horn by people who had （3）succeeded in making the passage. All the water （4）between South America and the Antarctic is squeezed （5）through this narrow, shallow gap. You get waves 50 feet （6）high. I read a lot of books about the old clipper ships that used to （7）sail round the Horn, and

40、my plan took, shape I would （8）follow the route of these great sailing vessels from England to Australia （9）round the cape of Good Hope and （10）then round Cape Horn back to England. Not only that, （11）but i would try to equal their average sailing time for these voyages. （12）As it turned out, I d

41、id not succeed. I （13）made mistakes. I did not go as （14）fast as they did. But I （15）did sail round the world single-handed. No one had （16）ever done that before. It is always satisfying to do something （17）that no one else has done. Unit3 On the （1）occasion of the old lady's eightieth birthday

It was （3）rare for Myra to visit her mother, but still, the old lady was proud of her. Sh

43、e felt sure that her daughter would celebrate her birthday with something special. As she waited for the （4）postman, the old lady （5）trembled with excitement because she was quite sure she would receive a lovely present. （6）After all, she thought, even if Myra paid little attention to her mother （7）

44、at other times, today was a very special day. However, when the postman came, the old lady found to her （8）disappointment that, rather than choosing a special gift, Myra had simply sent her a cheque folded in a card. 2.Fill in the missing words: A Old age has always been thought of as the worst

45、 age to be; but it is not （1）necessary for the old to be unhappy. （2）With old age should come wisdom and the ability to help others （3）with advice wisely given. （4）The old can have the joy （5）of seeing their children making progress （6）in life; they can watch their grandchildren （7）growing up around

46、 them; and , perhaps best of all, they can, （8）if their life has been a useful （9）one, feel the happiness of having come （10）through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time （11）when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to （12）continue the battle. B A Hollywood producer w

47、as determined to give his mother a birthday （1）present that would be better than （2）any his brothers were giving her. He heard about an amazing bird which （3）could talk in twelve languages and （4）sing ten famous operas. He immediately bought the bird and （5）sent it to his mother. It （6）cost him $50,

48、000. The day after her （7）birthday, he phoned his mother.."What did you think of the （8）bird , Mother?" he asked eagerly. His mother （9）replied, "Delicious!" Unit4 It is （1）proposed in this article that television be （2）prohibit for a period of time each evening As （3）social scientists have

49、 long noted, excessive television watching damages a family's ability to communicate with one another; and may （4）actually lead to some forms of mental illness as well as a rising （5）rate of divorce. Forcing families to turn off their television set each evening may indeed may indeed be a way of bri

50、nging them （6）together. Therefore, this （7）proposal may well be a （8）worthwhile one. It would, however, （9）involve some difficulty in putting it into effect, as few Americans would be willing to give up a single moment of television time. 2 .Fill in the missing words: A Most people in the U

51、nited States watch TV, even though they complain about television sometimes. It's great （1）fun to watch TV, and it's easy. You （2）turn on the TV, sit down （3）in a comfortable chair, and see many （4）interesting things. The people on TV will （6）make you laugh and cry. They （6）will inform you and excit

52、e you. （7）From watching TV, you can learn about the （8）latest news from all over the world, （9）and you can learn about new developments （10）in science, art, literature, and technology.

53、s, it is possible （14）to go to school by watching television. （15）There are special classes on TV （16）for high school and college students. A person （17）may get al good education at （18）home.These are some of the （19）reasons for watching TV. There are others. B These days I don't watch television

54、, （1）but a few years ago I（2） used to watch it every night. I was often a （3）little tired in the evenings and there are （4）few forms of entertainment that demand as （5）little effort as television. Unfortunately there are a large （6）number of people in my family; （7）some wanted to see one program （8）

55、while others preferred another. I was happy to look at （9）any program, but the others spent a great （10）deal of time arguing each night and there was （11）no way of settling the matter except by selling the set. （12）Now everyone at home reads instead. Unit5 During her high school days Linda made

56、 up her mind to write and illustrate(1) her own books. When she told her fellow students what she had decided to do, they burst into(2)laughter.

57、at it took a genius(5) to do writing. After she got married Linda had to look after her children and do all the cooking, cleaning and laundry(6)for the family. But still she managed to fit her favorite(7) work in most of the time. So far she has written eight books, four of which have been published

58、(8). Linda firmly believes that you can write a book so long as you set your mind on (9)it. It doesn't matter what qualifications(10) you have. What does matter is whether you have a great determination to succeed. 2 .Fill in the missing words: A laundry worker wanted to be a writer. On nigh

59、ts and weekends, the clack-clack of his(1) typewriter filled the house. He spent all his spare money on sending his manuscripts(2) to publishers. Everyone rejected them. One day the laundry worker read a novel that reminded him of(3) his own work. He sent his manuscript to the book's publisher(4). T

60、he manuscript was then given to Bill Thompson, an editor of the publishing(5) house. It (6) had too many flaws. But (7) Thompson did believe the laundry worker had promise as a writer and encouraged him to try(8) again. Over the next 18 months, the laundry worker sent the editor two more(9) manuscri

61、pts. The editor rejected both(10). The laundry worker began working on(11) a fourth novel. But with bills rising he began to lose(12) hope. One night, he threw(13) his manuscript into rubbish bin. The next day, his wife took it out."You shouldn't (15)give up, "she told him. "Not when(16) you're so

62、close." perhaps he no longer believed in himself(17), but his wife did. And so(18) did an editor he'd never met, Encouraged , he (19) wrote on. When he finished(20), he sent the novel to Bill Thompson. Several day later he received a $3,000 advance, and(21) a best-seller novel was born. Unit6

63、 Sam Adams seemed to be born an industrial engineer. Since his very childhood, he was an efficiency(1) expert, or so he thought. He was very well organized in his everyday life. Furthermore(2), he tried to get every family member organized, too. His amazing(3) efficiency in doing everything and hi

64、s great powers of observation(4) provided him with a good foundation(5) for a career(6) in industrial engineering. After his graduation.,he got a job in a shirt factory to reorganize(7) the assembly(8) line. It was easy for him to spot the problems. Within a week, he was able to present his findings

65、(9) to the management(10) and offer suggestions(11) for making the operations more productive(12) , such as broadcasting background(13) music, beautifying the environment, relieving(14) the boredom of the workers, and firing whoever was holding up(15) the work flow.
