Typically二、阅读理解（每小题3分，共30分）（A）Some people believe that genes（基因）and intelligence（智力）decide a students success. But there is no research to support this opinion, and, in fact, it is wrong. One simple thing can finally decide students1 success or failure（失败）：how they learn. Some students are so lucky that they find good ways to study. But not all students are so lucky.Dr. Asher developed a way called "Total Physical Response,, to teach languages. Studies at San Jose State University showed that if students moved their bodies while learning English, they could learn more words and grammar in a short time. If they sat still and didn't move, they learned less English. After a year, the students still remembered 80% or more of what they had learned if they learned by moving their bodies, while the others had forgotten over 80%.So you should make sure that you keep moving when you learn English. When you listen to a story or an article, do what you have heard. For example, if you hear the word “go”，you can move your feet. Pretend you are the person in the story or article. By doing this, you can learn more English, remember it longer and use it more easily.11._______ can decide students1 success or failure according to the writer.A.Where to learnB. When to learnC. How to learnD. What to learn12.Dr. Asher developed “Total Physical Response" to _______ .A.keep healthyB. give a speechC. speak languagesD. teach languages13.You should ______ when you learn English so that you can learn it well.A.listen to storiesB. talk to othersC. move your bodyD. sit still14.What does the underlined word "Pretend” mean in Chinese?A.推测B.假装C.怀疑D.确定15.What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A.Exercise is important for study.B.Some good ways to keep healthy.C.How to be successful.D.Good ways can help people learn well.(B)When you are learning a language, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can also be very helpful. When you read, you can not only learn some new words, but also learn how to use them. When you read, it gives you a good example for writing.Here are some good reading tips.Firstly, try to read at the right level (水平).Read something that you can understand. If it is too hard for you, it cannot attract you.Secondly, try to increase the number of your new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, don't use a dictionary. Instead, try to guess their meanings as you read and write them in your own vocabulary book. Try to look them up in the dictionary and remember them later.Thirdly, try to read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes or half an hour every day is better than two hours every Sunday. For example, you can read before you go to bed, or before you get up or at lunchtime. If you continue doing that, you will improve your writing.Lastly, read something that interests you. Choose a newspaper, a book or a magazine about a subject that you like. It is easy enough for you to understand. There is something interesting in it.16.From the passage, we know that the tips are mainly about ________ .A. listeningB. speakingC. writingD. reading17.How many pieces of advice does the writer give us?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.18.If you meet a few new words on a page while reading, ________ .B. guess their meanings at first D. write them down at once19. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. When you read, please try to read at a low level.B. Reading a lot can also help you write better.C. We should read as long as possible once a week.D. It's necessary for you to stop every three words to use a dictionary.20. What's the best title for the passage?A. The Books We Should ReadB. How to Use a DictionaryC. How to Make Reading BetterD. The Time When We Should Read三、 词汇运用（每小题2分，共10分）根据句意及汉语提示填写单词，使句子完整、通顺。
