That got Jahkil 4 (excite). He started making bags and giving them out to the homeless. When people hea

17、ow to use them in reading, writing and speaking English. It not only gives the meaning of words, it can also help you with spelling, word building, grammar and pronunciation. To use your dictionary correctly, you need to understand how the dictionary works. At the front of the book, you will find so

18、me exercises to help you make the most use of your dictionary. If you look up the word “colour”, you will find two spellings for this word. “Colour” is used in British English, while “color” is used in American English. When such a thing happens, the dictionary shows it with the word “BrE” for Briti

19、sh English and “AmE” for American English. The dictionary also helps you pronounce words correctly. It uses a special alphabet (特殊字母表) to show pronunciation. If you turn to the inside back face, you will see all the phonetic letters (音标) with some words to show you how they are pronounced. Just have

20、 a look at this page when youre not sure how to say a word.The most important reason for using a dictionary is to find out the meaning of a worditsDEFINITION. In this dictionary, the definitions have been written using only 2000 words. This means that the definitions of even the most difficult words

21、 are simply explained and easy to understand.1According to the passage, “neighbor” is used in _ English.AAustralian BCanadian CAmerican DBritish2In Paragraph 5, what does the underlined word “definition” mean?A词性 B词条 C词库 D词义3The dictionary explains _.Asome of the difficult words Ball the words in a

22、simple wayCall the easy words Dthe words of two meaningsB14、 Youre rushing to school and a man ahead of you suddenly falls down. Do you stop to help? In a study of bystanders, it was found that some people look away or keep on walking rather than stop and get involved.“There is an inclination(倾向) to

23、 decide that no action is needed,” says Ervin Staub, a psychologist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, who studies the role of bystanders. “ The first thoughts that come into your mind often keep you from offering help.”Time and again, good and caring people fail to come to the aid of ot

24、hers. They know they should act and yet, for reasons they themselves dont understand, people sometimes dont respond. Longtime researchers of bystander behavior continue to struggle with the question, “Why?”One thing we do know is that the more ambiguous a situation is, the less likely people are to

25、help. Lets say you see vapors(水汽) coming out of a building. You ask yourself, “Is it steam(蒸汽) or smoke?” If you are not sure, you look to other people for a clue about how to react. If you see other people doing nothing, you think, “Of course, thats just steam.” You dont want it to be smoke, becaus

26、e then you would have to do something about it.Another one is known as “ the bystander effect”. This says that the more people there are observing an emergency, the less responsible each one of them personally feels. For example, if you are the only person in the world who can act to save someone in

27、 a dangerous situation, you are more likely to act. However, if you are one of 100,000 people who could save the situation, you would be happier if one of the other 99,999 people did it!“If you notice trouble, force yourself to stop and judge the situation instead of walking on,” says Ervin Staub. T

28、hen try to involve other people; you dont have to take on all the responsibility of being helpful. According to Staub, it is sometimes just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, “It looks like we should do something.” Once you take action, most people will follow you and also off

29、er help.1Ervin Staub probably agrees that _.Athe bystanders force them to solve the troublesBpeoples first thoughts usually prevent them from helpingCthe researchers often lead to the embarrassmentDthe person next to you often asks you to deal with emergency2The word “ambiguous” in Paragraph 4 proba

30、bly means “_”.AdifficultBdangerousCunclearDunpleasant3The writer uses “ the bystander effect” to show that _.Apeople usually think others a lot before the difficultiesBpeople like to carry out the responsibility in emergencyCpeople often share their ideas when theyre in dangerous situationsDpeople a

31、re likely to behave in the same way as most other people do4Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?AIs it important to offer help?BIs it difficult to get involved?CTo stand there or take actions?DTo change the decision or stick it?C15、Only humans speak using words. But all ki

32、nds in the animal world can communicate in one way or another. Maybe you have heard about the way bees dance around to send messages to each other and the way dogs bark in different ways to give warnings, to be friendly or to be playful. But did you know about infrasonic communication used by elepha

33、nts? This is how it works:Humans hear low sounds like thunder rumbling in the sky. But we dont hear sounds lower than this. However, animals such as elephants and hippos can hear much lower sounds than humans can. And whats more, they can make those low sounds as well, and they use them to communica

34、te with each other. This is known as infrasound. The amazing thing about infrasound is that it travels over several kilometers. Higher-level sounds like the one people can hear, dont travel well through walls, leaves, trees and so on, which is why we cant hear sounds from more than 100 meters away.

35、But infrasound is much stronger and things like grass and trees have no influence on it. Therefore, it can travel much further. Elephants can hear infrasonic calls from four kilometers away!There have been reports of people watching groups of elephants feeding or resting and then the elephants sudde

36、nly all stopped what they were doing for no reason at all. They obviously heard a warning call from a long way away, but the people didnt hear a sound. In places like a zoo or wildlife park where you can get nearer to animals, it is a bit easier to sense when infrasonic sounds are made. When you sta

37、nd near mother elephants with their babies in a zoo, you may notice a slight rumbling in the air every few minutesnot loud or strong, but clearly noticed. This is infrasonic communicationthe mother elephants “talking” to their babies.1Why does the writer mention bees and dogs in Paragraph1?ABecause

38、they use infrasonic communication.BBecause they communicate like the elephants.CBecause they are examples of animal communication.DBecause people want to learn how they communicate.2Which of the following is TRUE about infrasound?AHumans can hear infrasound easily.BIt travels nearly several kilomete

39、rs.CIt sounds low but cant travel very far.DIt travels well through walls, leaves and so on.3In places like zoos, _.Aelephants dont need to make infrasonic soundsBit is easier for elephants to make infrasonic soundsCmother elephants dont let people stand near their babiesDhumans can easily sense inf

40、rasonic sounds when they are made4Which would be the best title for the passage?ATalking to humans BTalking to animalsCPlaying with humans DPlaying with elephantsD16、When you watch your favorite movies, you might not think about science. Of course, theres a lot of science behind movies like Interste

41、llar or The Martian but not movies like Frozen or The Avengers, right? Think again.Animated(动画) movies use a lot of science and math to make things look as real as possible. For example, snow was used in many parts of the movie Frozen, but making the snow look real was a challenge. The snow needed t

42、o act differently in different situations, like if it was melting(融化) or blowing in the wind.Mathematicians（数学家）had to create a computer program to make the snow look more natural. Joseph Teran, a mathematician at the University of California, US, faced this challenge with Frozen, according to the S

43、ociety for Science and the Public.He and his team used math equations(等式) to treat snow like many different pieces instead of one large thing, as movies had done in the past. They worked for months to make a computer program do this.Science is important for superhero movies too. Superheroes are supp

44、osed to have special powers that cant always be explained. But moviemakers still want to make their actions realistic(现实的).For example, Raychelle Burks, a chemistry professor from the American Chemical Society, told the Daily Mail that some of the science behind The Avengers could be real. Iron Mans

45、 suit is possible because it can be made of a light but strong material. In the movie , Tony Stark also makes new elements by making atoms collide(使原子对撞)，much like scientists do in real life.So next time you see a movie, dont forget to think about the science behind it.1A lot of science and math are

46、 used in animated movies to _.Amake them like Interstellar and The MartianBmake the audience think about scienceCmake things as realistic as possibleDmake snow smelt or blow in the wind2The example of The Avengers in Paragraph 6 is used to show_.Ahow superheroes have super powersBhow science makes a

47、ction realisticCIron Mans suit is made of light materialsDhow Tony Stark makes new elements3What can we learn from the passage?AEvery movie should be made to look as realistic as possible.BScience and math play important roles in movie making.CAnimated movies use less science than other movies.DScie

48、ntists can make things in movies become real.E17、Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.Perhaps unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer

49、to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glas

50、ses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that

51、s true but its a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny s

52、tories and discover difference.When we always stick to the same people, how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知),which too often leads to prejudice (偏见) and even fear? If instead you want to liv

53、e in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons.Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And dont just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. Thats how we make friends. Thats how we l

54、earn about people. Thats how we open our minds to new ideas. Thats how we live an exciting life.1From the passage, we know that people prefer sitting by someone whoAis like themselves Bhas a sense of humorCis open-minded Dlives an exciting life2People like staying in their comfort zone because they
