My oldest brother is an engineer． He is really good at    11   ． My second brother is even better at math—he’s a building designer． But me? I’m never good at math． I always thought it was too    12   ．

One day, my second brother sat me down at the    13    and showed me how math is part of music． There are 12 notes in a music scale (音阶), and they repeat    14   ． Then he showed me how chords (和弦) are made up of notes．    15   , math didn’t seem so hard!

That summer, we went to an    18    and saw a drawing on show by a famous artist． The lines began at a small point and went out in all directions． The artist drew the houses to fit the lines perfectly． Math was in art!

Before school started, we went to the beach． My brother picked up seashells (贝壳) and showed me    19    they grow in mathematical patterns (数学模式), going from small to large． Math again!

Now I grow up． What do I do? Do I build things like my brothers? Well, I    20    math every day in my job． I count, add, divide (除) and work with patterns．

①Some people say that the UK and the US are two countries separated (分割) by a common language． It means although both Americans and the British speak English, there are many differences in the way they use the language． Having studied in both countries, I have found the differences are more than differences such as pronunciations and spellings． A big difference is communication styles (风格):

②I spent one term in the UK, and the biggest challenge for me was that people don’t always say things directly． The British are famous for being polite． So polite, in fact, that they sometimes say the contrary of what they really mean． For example, when the British say “I almost agree”, don’t think they have similar opinions to you． Actually, they mean “I don’t agree at all”． Before I could fully understand how the British communicate, I went home．

③Later, I went to study in the US for one year． I found that Americans like to be straight with others． When I spoke to them, I often had trouble getting straight to the point． For example, when I wanted to ask for help, I liked to say, “Excuse me, I’m terribly sorry to bother you, but I seem to be lost． Would you be so kind to lend me a hand in finding my way to the nearest station?” But Americans would find it strange． They would just say, “Hey, sorry to bother you． I’m really lost and need to find the nearest station． Can you help me?” I realized I had to learn a whole new way of communicating．

④Now, I have a better understanding of how to communicate in both countries, but I still have a lot to learn． As my experiences show, learning the pronunciation and spelling of words in a language is just the beginning!

Do you know that vocabulary is more important than grammar? If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully, even if the grammar is not completely perfect．

However, one common problem is learning new words and then forgetting them． So, when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment． Does this often happen to you? The reason for this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words． But it may not work if you don’t have a very good memory．

The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words successfully is to learn new words and use them at once． You can do this with a very simple exercise． Each time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook． Writing is more active than just reading a definition（释义）． You should write the word, the definition in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create．

Imagine you just learn the word “generous”, write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), definition—giving or willing to give freely． Example One, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner, you’re very generous． Example Two, my example: My brother is generous because he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends． It’s best if your example sentences are true to your life, because this creates a personal connection with the new word． The next day, read your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence using the new word． It’s helpful for you to remember it． These two simple steps—writing the word and using it at once—help you remember and use new words．

29．The passage was mainly written to ________．

A．English teachers                                  B．language learners

C．English writers                                    D．language readers

30．The correct order of taking vocabulary notes is ________．

a． Make your own example sentence．

b． Write the word, its English definition or translation．

c． Copy an example sentence from the article or dictionary．

d． Read your notebook again and add one more example sentence．

A．b-c-a-d            B．b-c-d-a                   C．c-d-b-a                   D．c-b-a-d

31．How can we make the best example sentences according to the writer? ________

A．By asking for help from friends．         B．By explaining words’ definitions．

C．By connecting them with our life．        D．By adding words from the article．

32．The best title of the passage is ________．

A．Tips for Translating Words                    B．Advice on Using Grammar

C．Abilities of Creating Examples                     D．Ways of Learning New Words

参考答案

1． B

【解析】句意：——从上周五开始你就没说过一句话。怎么了？——什么都没有。别烦我。

考查形容词辨析。serious严重的；single单一的；similar相似的；silent沉默的。根据“Nothing． Just leave me alone．”可知对方不愿意说话，由此推出是没说过一句话，say a single word“说一句话”。故选B。

2． C

【解析】句意：不要总是把我们的商店和超市相比较。和它竞争是相当困难的。

考查介词辨析。with和……一起；for给，对；against和……对抗；to朝。第一空，根据“compare our store … a supermarket”可知，此处是指把商店和超市比较，考查compare ．．． with ．．．“把……和……相比较”，动词短语，应用with，排除B和D；第二空，根据“compete … it”可知，此处是指与它竞争，考查compete against．．．“与……竞争”，动词短语，应用against，排除A。故选C。
