AThis dictionary tells you about English words and how to use them in reading, writing and speaking English. It not only gives the meaning of words, it can also help you with spelling, word building, grammar and pronunciation.To use your dictionary correctly, you need to understand how the dictionary works. At the front of the book, you will find some exercises to help you make the most use of your dictionary.If you look up the word “colour”, you will find two spellings for this word. “Colour” is used in British English, while “color” is used in American English. Wh en such a thing happens, the dictionary shows it with the word “BrE” for British English and “AmE” for American English.The dictionary also helps you pronounce words correctly. It uses a special alphabet (特殊字母表) to show pronunciation. If you turn to the inside back face, you will see all the phonetic letters (音标) with some words to show you how they are pronounced. Just have a look this page when you’re not sure how to say a word.The most important reason for using a dictionary is to find out the meaning of a word—its DEFINITION.In this dictionary, the definitions have been written using only 2000 words. This means that the definitions of even the most difficult words are simply explained and easy to understand.( )31. According to the passa ge, “neighbor” is used in ______ English.A. AustralianB. CanadianC. AmericanD. British( )32.In Paragraph 5, what does the underlined word “definition” mean?A. 词性B. 词条C. 词库D. 词义( )33. The dictionary explains ______.A. some of the difficult wordsB. all the words in a simple wayC. all the easy wordsD. the words of two meaningsBIn the very early 1800's, a young boy about 14 years old named John lived in an orphanage(孤儿院) in Old England along with several other children. Orphan meant unwanted and unloved.Christmas was the one day of the year when the children didn't work and received a gift, an orange. Usually they tried to taste and keep it for so long that it often went bad before they ever peeled（剥开）it to enjoy the sweet juice. Many thoughts were expressed as Christmas time drew near. The children would say, "I will keep mine the longest." John usually slept with his next to his pillow. This year John was overjoyed by the Christmas season. He was becoming a man and stronger and soon he would be old enough to leave. He would save his orange until his birthday in July.Christmas day finally came. The children were so excited as they entered the big dining hall. Immediately the master shouted, "John, leave the hall and there will be no orange for you this year." John's heart broke violently wide open. He turned and went quickly back to the cold room. Then heheard the door open and each of the children entered. Little Elizabeth with her hair falling over her shoulders, a smile on her face, and tears in her eyes held out a piece of rag to John. "Here John," she said, "this is for you." As he lifted back the edges of the rag he saw a big juicy orange all peeled and quartered(成四等份) and then he realized what they had done.John never forgot the sharing, love and personal sacrifice (牺牲)his friends had shown him that Christmas day. In memory of that day every year he would send oranges all over the world to children everywhere.( )34．These children would be happiest when .A．they got the special gift B．they preserved it very longC．they finally enjoyed the sweet juice D．they entered the dining hall( )35．According to Paragraph 2, what would overjoy John most the next year?A．He placed his orange next to his pillow.B．He would eat his orange on his birthday.C．He wouldn't get his special gift.D．He would stay in the orphanage for another year.( )36．According to the text, where did John's orange come from this year?A．It was made up of what these children donated.B．His master gave him a whole one again.C．These children bought him one.D．Little Elizabeth donated hers to John.( )37．What can be inferred from the text?A．John had expected he wouldn't get the gift this year.B．John knew why he didn't get the gift this year.C．John felt ashamed for not getting the special gift.D．The story teaches us to learn to share with others.CTiger Mom,You’ve been criticized(批评) a lot since your book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, came out. One problem is that some people don’t get your humor. They think you’re serious about all things and Lulu and I are suffering a lot from such a strict mother. That is not true.But for real, it’s not their fault. No outsider can know what our family is really like. They don’t hear us laughing over each other’s jokes. They don’t see us eating our hamburgers with fried rice. They don’t know how much fun we have when the six of us — dogs included — squeeze into one bed and argue about what movies to download from Netflix.I admit it: Having you as a mother was no tea p arty. There were some play dates I wish I’d gone to and some piano camps I wish I’d got away from. But now that I’m 18 and about to leave the tiger den(穴), I’m glad you and Daddy raised me the way you did.A lot of people have accused you of producing ro bot kids who can’t think for themselves. Well, I came to the opposite conclusion: your strict parenting made me more independent(独立的).Everybody’s talking about the birthday cards we once made for you, which you refused to take because they weren’t good enough. Funny how some people believe that Lulu and I will feel hurt forlife. But let’s face it: It took me 30 seconds; I didn’t put my heart into it. That’s why, when you rejected it, I didn’t feel hurt at all.There’s one more thing: I have come to und erstand what it really means to live a meaningful life to the fullest. To me, it’s about knowing that you’ve tried your best, body and mind. You feel it when the piano piece you’ve practiced for days and hours finally comes to life beneath your fingertips. You feel it when you do something on your own that you never thought you could. And for that, Tiger Mom, thank you.Yours,Sophia( )38. In the writer’s opinion, why do some people criticize her mother?A. They don’t know what her family is really like.B. They have a different culture.C. They aren’t strict with their children.D. They don’t have a good sense of humor.( )39. The passage tells us her mother’s strict parenting raised the writer to be _________.A. a robot kidB. a kid with no play datesC. a kid uninterested in the pianoD. an independent thinker( )40. Which of the following sentences is Wrong ?A. Sophia is thankful for what her strict mother has made herB. Sophia has always been disturbed by tea parties.C. Sophia is satisfied with her parents’ way of raising her.D. Tiger Mom was blamed for rejecting her daughters’ birthday cards.( )41.The underlined words “it” in the last paragraph refer to_________.A. Making personal achievementsB. Having lived your life at 110 percentC. Practicing piano piecesD. Doing something on your ownDFOOD is basic –it’s what keeps us going. But for students at theInternational Culinary (烹饪) Center (ICC) in New York City, it’s much morethan that –food is the future. ICC “gave me a direction”, said Song Wenlong,25, a Chinese native and recent graduate of the world famous cooking school.ICC, which was set up in 1984, offers courses from chef (厨师)trainingprograms to wine studies and restaurant management, according to its website. And as the school has grown, the number of international students to ICC, including Chinese, is rising every year. One example is Song Wenlong, who grew up in Shanghai but now works in Los Angeles as director of food development for RJ Chinese Kitchen, a restaurant in California.Song has lived in the US for three years. He first completed a degree in Engineering at Stony Brook University in Ne w York. Song said. “I chose the degree based on my parents’ opinion. The people I met abroad encouraged me to chase my dream, so I ended up changing my whole career path.”That's what brought him to ICC ---his love of food. “Growing up, my uncle had a rest aurant, and I loved going with him to the farmers’ market. When I was 16, I started to cook on my own.”Song said he likes ICC’s ideas toward cooking. “They taught me how to cook, not special recipes（秘诀）. They call it ‘cooking techniques’. I learned a l ot from that. The two-month internship(实习) in a restaurant was helpful, too. It gave me a look at a high-quality, professional kitchen.”Song highly recommends Chinese chefs and food lovers go abroad and study. Above all, he feels good about the fact that more young Chinese people are starting to chase their own dreams.( )42. What is the main point of the article?A. The popularity of cooking schools around the world.B. What makes ICC a great cooking school.C. How Wenlong succeeded in his studies at ICC.D. More Chinese students learning cooking abroad.( )43.

His classmates encouraged him to work in food.( )44. How is ICC different from other cooking schools according to Wenlong?A. It teaches many unique recipes.B. It teaches students cooking techniques.C. It has top professors from all over the world.D. It lets students intern at the best restaurants.( )45. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To attract international students to apply for ICCB. To prepare the students in ICC for a career in cookingC. To encourage young people to chase their own dreamsD. To show how to write a college application letter四、词汇运用(共l0小题；每小题l分，计l0分)根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。
