Try to set aside some time every day for your studies when your brain is most receptive. Its better to study for 30 minutes every day than for 3 hours once a week. If you can spare two or three hours a day, break them up into some periods to avoid brain overload. Go over each lesson several times, perhaps once in the morning, once in the evening and once several days later. Give your brain time to digest the material, but make sure the gaps between periods of studies are not too long or you will forget most of what youre trying to learn. Make sure you have mastered the contents of one lesson before moving on to the next. Make sure youre comfortable with the basics of the language before learning the more advanced knowledge. It will take you some time to get used to the pronunciation and spelling of a new language, but without a solid understanding of these, youll find it very difficult to learn more. Setting reasonable targets is a good way to motivate yourself. You could set yourself a time limit or aim for a certain level of proficiency (精通). Once you have mastered the basics of the language, learn to apply them about the things that interest you. In this way you are more likely to remember the words, phrases and grammatical constructions you meet. You will find that at times youre making fairly rapid progress, while at other times you seem to stand still or even go backwards. This is normal when learning a language, so dont be discouraged. Making mistakes in a foreign language is nothing to worry about. What matters is getting your message across, not whether you use all the right words, tenses, cases, etc. If you cannot think of the exact words, try using other ones. 61.How many tips does the writer give about learning languages in this passage? A. Four. B. Six.C. Seven.D. Nine.62. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the authors opinions? A. You should learn the language once as long as possible. B. Youd better set a reasonable aim before you start. C. You should often review what youve learnt. D. You should practise the language while learning it.63. The last two tips of learning a language are mainly about _. A. the mistakes when you learn a foreign language. B. the things you shouldnt do when you meet with difficulties. C. the reasons why we make mistakes while trying to apply it. D. the reasons why we make little or no progress while learning it.B Money is all surrounding usEvery day, we see it, use it, and it is on the tip of our tongueDid you ever stop to take into consideration where the money that you carry around every day comes from?Making new money is a very unique job and no easy taskIt has up to 65 steps. When the money in circulation（流通）gets dirty and worn out, it is replaced with new money.The old money is taken from banks and brought to places where it is destroyed.Usually, the old money is burned.The burned money is replaced by new paper moneyIf old money is being replaced, then new money is printed in a place called a mint（造币厂）Large sheets of paper are printed with many pictures of some currency （流通货币）These large sheets are cut into individual bills.The individual bills are then put together in big stacks and then sent to banksSometimes the mint will make a new bill with a new picture (portraits of statesman and places of interest are favoured)or a new colour. It is not easy for the government to make a new bill. It takes a long time, and there are many steps to go through before a new bill can be sent to banks, first, people in the government decide that a new kind of bill is needed ;Then, they ask an artist to design the new billA different artist cuts the new picture into a soft piece of metal called a dieThe dies are made and put onto large printing machines.Then, very special paper is used, which no one but the mint can haveAlong with this special paper, the mint also prints currency using special coloursAfter the dies print the new currency onto the paper, the bills are cut, stacked, and sent off to the banks65From the passage we know thatAbanks make new moneyBit takes 65 procedures to make new moneyCmints decide what kind of bill is neededDold money that is not used is forever stored in a special place66We can infer from the passage that a die is _ Asomething for dead peopleBa special machine that prints the moneyCa special piece of paper that the money is made from Da piece of metal that puts the picture on the money67Which of the following shows the right order of dealing with new money?New money is printed in a mintBills are cut from large sheets of special paperNew money is sent in large amounts to banksThe government decides to make new moneyA. B C D68Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?AThe reason for making new moneyBThe processes of making a new billCThe amount of new money neededDThings usedto make new money or a new billCLife is difficult来源:学科网ZXXK This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend(超越) it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters. Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation. What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy. Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, those things that hurt, instruct. It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems. 69. From the passage, it can be inferred that _. A. everybody has problems B. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of life C. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain D. people like to complain about their problems 70. The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _. A. save space B. persuade readers C. make readers laugh D. get readers attention 71. The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that _. A. most people feel life is easy B. the writer feels life is easy C. the writer likes to complain about his problems D. most people complain about how hard their lives are 72. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to_. A. encourage them to learn B. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problem C. help them learn to deal with pain D. teach them how to respect from problems DAre you crazy about adventures?
