When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was   1  to see that it was an English English dictionary, also known as a monolingual（單語的） dictionary.   2  it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely  3  to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and still not fully understand the meaning. I was used to the   4  bilingual（雙語的）dictionaries, in which the words are    5  both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt   6  to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I   7 that monolingual dictionaries are  8 in learning a foreign language.
As I found out, there is in fact often no perfect equivalence(對(duì)應(yīng)) between two  9  in two language. My aunt even goes so far as to  10 that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the   11 meaning of a word in English! Therefore, she insisted that I read the definition(定義) of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. 12  , I have come to see what she meant. 
Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n)   13  number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am  14 exposed to the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas.  15 this, I can express myself more easily in English.

When studying in a middle school，I read a quote that went something like：“If you live each day as if it were your last，someday you’ll most certainly be right. ”It made a deep   36  on me, and since then, for the past 33 years，I have  37  in the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life，  3 8  I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a  39 ，I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I’ll be  40  soon is the most important tool I’ve ever known to help me make the big  41  in life because almost everything falls away in the face of death，  42  only what is truly important.
About a year ago I was  43  with cancer. My doctor even advised me to go home and get my affairs   44  order，which is a doctor’s way of telling people to prepare to die. I  45  with that diagnosis all day.   46 ，at last an advanced test showed that it was a very rare cancer that is  47  with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.
48  wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all  49  . No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be，because death is very likely the single best invention of  50  . It is life’s change agent. It clears out the old to  51  for the new. Right now the new is you. But someday not too  52  from now，you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic，but it is quite true.
Your time is  53 ，so don’t waste it living someone else’s 1ife. Don’t be  54  by dogma(教條) —which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner  55  . And most importantly，have the courage to follow your heart.

Unfortunately, as Alzheimer’s Disease  49 , the family often suffers a lot. I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this   50  experience. When the time comes I am confident that with your help she will   51  it with faith and courage.

Mark Twain left school when he was twelve. Though he had little school education, he became the most famous writer of his time. He made millions of dollars by writing. His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clements, but he is better known all over the world as Mark Twain, his penname.
Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby. In fact, he was not expected to live through the first winter. But with his mother’s tender care, he managed to survive.

He always went in the direction of the nearby Mississippi. He was nearly drowned(淹死) nine times.

In 1870, Mark Twain got married. In the years that followed he wrote many books including Tom Sawyer in 1876, and Huckleberry Finn in 1884, which made him famous, and brought him a great fortune（財(cái)富）.Unfortunately, Mark Twain got into debts in bad investments（投資） and he had to write large numbers of stories to pay these debts.

It is only during the last few years that man has generally realized that in the world of nature a balance exists between all forms of life. No living thing can exist by itself: it is a part of a system (體系) in which all forms of life are joined together. If we change one part of the natural order, this will in its turn almost certainly bring about changes in some other part.
The cutting down of forests reduces the supply of oxygen. The killing of weeds and insects by chemicals leads to the wide spread poisoning of animals and birds. The throwing of waste products into the ocean harm to life in the sea, while waste gases change the chemical balance of the atmosphere.
And so we could go on, adding more examples, until in despair (絕望) we might feel like giving up the struggle to control and keep within limits these harmful human activities. Man is very clever at changing the world around him to satisfy his immediate needs, but not so clever at looking far ahead, or at thinking about what the future results of his action might be.
小題1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that __________.
A．everything in nature can’t exist without the help of human beings
B．no living thing can exist naturally
C．a(chǎn)ll living things in nature depend on each other
D．man has well known the importance of the balance for a long time
小題2:The examples given in the second paragraph are used to prove that __________.
A．it is very important to protect forests
B．there are some living things which can exist all by themselves without change
C．a(chǎn)ll forms of life belong to a system in which all the part can be changed for one another
D．we cannot change one form of life or matter without disturbing (擾亂) the balance of nature
小題3:In the second paragraph the underlined word “atmosphere” means __________.
A．the production of chemical factoriesB．the gas in the outer space
C．the mixture of gases that surrounds the earthD．the health of the human body
小題4:The third paragraph suggests that __________.
A．man shouldn’t think only about his immediate needs without enough thought on the future results
B．man is very clever in planning his distant future
C．man often feels that he has to give up in despair
D．man is always anxious to control and keep his actives within limits

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Every year in America, high-school students who want to go to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT in a shortened way. Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them or whether any will be admitted at all. The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures one’s mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English portion（部分）involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.
But the SAT folks have added a single question, to be answered in an essay, hand-written on the spot. That’s an interesting way to test writing ability, put content aside, have you ever seen young people’s handwriting lately? Or anyone’s for that matter, in this age of computer keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word. And they hand-write, or more often print, a word or two of identification on luggage and lunch bags. Otherwise penmanship (書法) — once taught so morally and easefully by second-grade teachers, has gone the way of the dodo bird which has died out.
Yet today’s kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and legibly (字跡清楚地), for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl of young people who’ve been typing on computers since the age of three! Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one’s score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers and earn bigger tax refunds (退稅) because the tax inspectors can actually read the computations (計(jì)算結(jié)果). And don’t forget, we all have to turn to handwriting from time to time, as computers go down when power goes out.
小題1: The subjects to be tested in the SAT include ______.
A．math, English, reading and handwriting
B．math, grammar, reading and writing
C．math, foreign language and writing
D．math, English and handwriting
小題2:The author writes this passage to introduce the fact that ______.
A．writing seems to be very important in the SAT
B．those who will go to colleges have to take the SAT
C．students should practice handwriting more often
D．in the computer age kids know how to write legibly
小題3: What does the underlined word “scribble” probably mean?
A．Write quickly and roughly.B．Take notes difficultly.
C．Print penmanship carefully.D．Describe written word generously.
小題4:According to the passage good handwriting can ______.
A．help students get high scores in testsB．make a student more popular
C．measure students’ abilityD．a(chǎn)ssist one to get a job
