You should try to make your vocabulary bigger. Read as many books as you can. There are plenty of books written in easy English for you to read. You will enjoy then. When you meet a new word, find it in your dictionary . Your dictionary is your most useful book.Choose the correct answer.( ) 56. The number of different languages spoken is about_.

A. your vocabulary B. the books written in easy English C. your dictionary D. finding new words in a dictionaryB Do you have bright ideas? Ideas or inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we dont often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encourages young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest; Group One was for schoolchildren under 16; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16. And there were eleven prize-winners altogether.Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was called “Sunshine Superman(超人)”. Its important when people study the weather to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neils is more accurate(精确的) and this is very important for research into the way of using solar(太阳的)power.You can do so much with animated cartoon. Look at Simon Wests idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isnt a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving signs,” said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving , horses running or a car falling over the edge of a cliff(悬崖). Quite a warning!The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesnt ask more schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of “pupil power!”61. The writer holds that people seldom _. A. have bright ideas B. turn their bright ideas into reality C. make their life easier D. think of inventing something62. The organizers of the competition hoped the schoolchildren who took part in it would _. A. become good designers for future Britain B. invent something for immediate use C. design something useful for the next day D. win as many prizes as they could63. Neil Hunts design would finally lead to the improvement of the way of _. A. recording direct sunshine B. recording the hours of sunshine C. using the energy of the sun D. knowing how strong sunlight is64. Whats the use of Simon Wests animated road signs? A. To warn people to be careful while working. B. To warn people on the roads of the danger ahead. C. To add to the beauty of a city. D. To help make a car trip more exciting.65. The writer seems to be encouraging the British industry to _. A. take better care of schoolchildren B. help schoolchildren in their studies C. stop asking schoolchildren for suggestions D. pay more attention to schoolchildrens inventive powerCHave you ever imagined what it would have been like to go on an old-time western cattle drive?The early cattle drives were long and hard-and sometimes even dangerous. They took place because Texas ranchers wanted to get their beef cattle to people in northern cities. Railroads used for carrying the cattle did not go all the way into Texas at that time, however. The ranchers decided to solve their problem by hiring workers, called cowhands, to take the cattle to the railroad stops in Missouri, Kansas, and Colorado.The long cattle drives ended when the railroad lines were extended into Texas and other western lands.66.

Sodbusters, however, were actually people.In the late 1800s, many people moved to the Midwest to settle on land that the United States government had offered for free. Upon arriving, the settlers found that there were no trees for building shelters. The ground, however, had a thick layer of knotted, matted roots below the grassy surface. This kind of soil is called sod.The early settlers cut the sod into large cubes. Then they used the cubes of sod to build their shelters. The settlers also had to break up the vast areas of hard sod so that they could farm the land. For these reasons, settlers in the Midwest became known as “sodbusters.”71. The best title is _. A. Who the Sodbusters Were B. Farming in the Midwest C. Building a Shelter D. How to Cut Sod72. People moved to the Midwest to _. A. find gold B. look for water C. settle the land D. find adventure73.
