24、Did 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 well, is to learn new words and use them at once.

You can do this with a very simple exercise. Every 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. 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.

Do you have a vocabulary notebook? If not, start now.

【1】What’s the correct order of the following steps of taking vocabulary notes?

①Make your own example sentence.

②Write the word, its English definition or translation.

③Copy an example sentence from the article or dictionary.

④Read your notebook again and add one more example sentence.

A．③④②①

B．②③④①

C．②③①④

D．③②①④

【2】What’s the closest meaning to the underlined word “definition” in Paragraph 4?

A．Conversation.

B．Meaning.

C．Term.

D．Expression.

【3】How can we make the best example sentences according to the writer?

A．By asking for help from friends.

B．By connecting them with our life.

C．By explaining words’ definitions.

D．By adding words from the article.

【4】What’s the passage mainly about?

A．Tips for Translating Words.

B．Abilities to Create Examples.

C．Ways of Learning New Words.

D．Advice on Using Grammar.

25、   It might seem impossible that tiny insects could be very harmful to a large house. But wood-eating termites（白蚁） can indeed do a lot of harm to a house.

Scientists believe that termites have been around for about 50 million years. Today, there are nearly 3,000 kinds of termites. They can be found all over the world.

A termite’s diet is mainly made of the fiber（纤维素） found in plants. Many termites feed on trees and wood in wooded areas. However, they don’t know the difference between the wood in a forest and the wood used to build houses. If they find wood inside a house, they will happily eat it.

It would take a single termite over 3,000 years to eat up the wood in a small house. Unluckily, termites are social insects. They live in groups. A termite group could be made up of 15 million termites or more. They eat day and night. Large termite groups can eat as much as one pound of wood in a day.

Termites can be hard to discover. Often, they’re found only after big damage has been done to a house, especially in May every year.

A.are tiny and harmful birds B.are used to build houses

26、I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago. Her husband died of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her insights with us.

The class was nearly over. She said, “Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you an important thought.”

“Each of us is put here on Earth to learn, share, love, appreciate and give of ourselves. We must make good use of every single day.”

Her eyes beginning to water, she went on, “So I would like you all to make me a promise. From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see—it could be a scent or the sound of the gentle wind.”

“Please look for these things, and treasure them. They are the stuff of life. We must make it a point to notice them, for at any time it can all be taken away.”

Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and try to treasure all of those things that sometimes we do not realize.

Take notice of something special you see on your lunch hour today. Walk barefoot along the beach at sunset. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we regret（遗憾）, but the things we didn’t do.

28、   Olyvia, "love is simple. You don't have to do much to make someone happy. " That was what my mother said to me when I was a child. Over a year ago, I had a chance. My good friend Kaylee told me about her t【1】 to a small town called Gary, and how it was a life—changing experience. I made up my mind to go there myself.

When I told my parents about the decision, they didn’t a【2】 at first. They said I didn't know much about the place. They were worried that it was not s【3】 for me to go there. Thankfully, after I e【4】 my plan to them in detail, they said yes.

When our group arrived in Gary, I noticed how different the town was from where I lived. There were few stores or restaurants in the town; most had closed. So you would be very 1【5】 if you could find a place to buy food or drinks. Houses were built on small hills. Many of them had broken doors or windows. My job was to help the local people to r【6】 houses. The work days were long and hot, but it was really good to see the houses taking on a new look day by day.

The children there were also different. They seemed to enjoy every moment in life t【7】 they were poor. The smallest things would make these kids happy. I couldn't find words to describe their j【8】 when they received an ice—cream, a ball or e【9】 a kiss. The community was like a big family. Everyone knew each other and was there when someone needed help,

I am so glad that I had this unforgettable e【10】. I truly learned the meaning, of what my mother said. You don't need to do much to make a difference to others' lives.
