閱讀下面短文并用英語回答問題，然后將答案寫到相應的位置上(請注意問題后的詞數要求)。

[1]Your vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with．Your active vocabulary contains the words you understand and use in speech and in print，and your passive vocabulary includes the words you do not use but understand．Although children learn more new words than adults，the vocabulary of an adult is not fixed and can be increased．Improve your language skills with daily exposure to new words，their pronunciations and meanings．

[2]．The more often you read，the faster your vocabulary can grow．Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know．

[3]Find a new word every day．If you do not encounter an unfamiliar word in your daily reading，use your dictionary to search for one．

[4]Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word you encounter．Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary，you must be able to use it in speech．

[5]Explain the meaning of the word so that you can connect it to something memorable．Use imagery and personal relevance(關聯(lián))．If you have just learned that the word“obstinate”means stubborn and unyielding，think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car．Imagine him shaking his head，and think of him as obstinate in his refusal．

[6]Use your new word in speech and in writing．Tell a friend about your boss obstinately refusing to reschedule your vacation time．E-mail your sister about how your cat is obstinate about sleeping on your pillow．The first time you use a new word in speech it may seem clumsy and forced，but the more you use it，the more fluent you will become in its use．Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary．

[7]Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary．Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is，or to ask for the definition of a new word you have used．The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone，the more likely you are to remember it．

【解析】

1.How to enlarge your vocabulary fast. 信息歸納題。文章首段提出the vocabulary of an adult is not fixed and can be increased. “一個人的詞匯不是固定不變的是可以增加的”，然后提出了幾條關于如何擴大詞匯的方法，由此推斷文章中心是如何快速增加詞匯量，即：How to enlarge your vocabulary fast.

2.Use your dictionary to search for one. .信息查找題。從文章第三段If you do not encounter an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one 可知對于不認識的單詞要查字典，即：.Use your dictionary to search for one。

3. 信息判斷題。在文章第五段作者提出We can use imagery and personal relevance to explain the meaning of a word ，然后以單詞 “obstinate”為例對此進行進一步解釋，所以obstinate是起到論據的作用，用來說明Use imagery and personal relevance。

4. 信息歸納題。在第二段作者提到The more often you read, the faster your vocabulary can grow.，然后作者在本段主要介紹了經常閱讀的重要性，由此判斷此處是提倡人們要多進行閱讀，所以填Read every day。

5. 信息判斷題。根據上句because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary可以判斷it 指代a word，句意：為了給你的積極詞匯增加一個新詞，你必須在講話時能使用它。

考點：閱讀表達。
