41 people, it's a real waste of time.

42 can generally be divided into three groups: high, medium and low frequency (频率) . High-frequency words are words we 43 all the time: eat, box, tomorrow, style, almost, etc. Medium-frequency words are words that come up, but that you can probably _44

without in many conversational situations: persuade, hobby, shadow, etc. Then there's

everything else, the _ 45 words are seldom used except in very specific situations: universe,

46 _, etc.

The problem with low-frequency words is that we 47 ever use them and, in the rare

case that you actually need a low-frequency word, you can usually 48 it by describing

what you mean, or using a higher-frequency synonym(同义词).

If you were to divide up a dictionary into high medium and low frequency words, you'd probably find that everything but five or six thousand words are Iow-frequency. If your

dictionary has 30,000 words, _ 49 _ means that memorizing that dictionary would 50

about 25,00.0 useless words. Usually, a Collins Cobuild Dictionary can tell you the 51 0f

the words.

52 . spending time on low-frequency words, try spending more time on

medium-frequency words. You may already be _ 53 . with these words, but ask yourself if

you feel comfortable using them in speaking or writing. Look 54 up in a good

English-English dictionary to get a 55 0f the different meanings the words have.

36. A. magazines B. dictionaries C. books D. novels

37. A. trouble B. pleasure C. sadness D. disadvantage

38. A. As usual B. Sooner or later C. Sure enough D. At all

39. A. reading B. copying C. studying D. memorizing

40.A. that B. if C.though D. since

41. A. most B. few C. some . D. any

42. A. Students B. English . C. V ocabulary D. Stories

43. A. speak B. use C. write D. understand

44. A. deal B; make C. do D. feel

45. A. small B. new C. low-frequency D. funny

46. A. socialism B. almost C. hobby D. box

47. A. almost B. usually C. fully D. hardly

48. A. get arourid B. make use of C. stick to D. think of

49. A. which B. he C. it. D. what

50. A. include B. tell C. miss D. fill

51. A. meanings B. frequency C. translations D. ideas
