Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s importantto master (掌握) the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the sentences put words in a wrong order, the listeners can’t understand the speakers’ sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence d oesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”“I’ve seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit (精神) of the language and use it as the English speakers do.根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。

Colds are caused by viruses （病毒）in the body, and you are better out on the snowy day than you are in a warm room, with your friends, who just may be passing the virus around. If you feel a chill (寒战) when you are coming down with a cold, you are already silk. A chill is an early sign of the cold.The virus can spread through air when a cold-sufferer (感冒患者) coughs or sneeze(打喷嚏) . Surprisingly, this is the most usual way of spreading. Many studies have now shown that most colds are “caught” by hands. A cold-suffer rubs her nose, so spreading the virus to her hand. Then a friend comes to visit her. They shake their hands. The friend then gets something to eat by hand, and several days later she catches a cold. Although some parents pick up their children’s tissues (纸巾) and carefully throw them away, they fail to wash their hands. They’ll catch colds, too.Cold viruses can also be spread by objects, for example, telephones, plates. The cold-suffer as well asother members of the house, by washing their hands often, will stop the viruses from spreading in away. ( ) 1. Colds are caused by ____.A bad weatherB virusesC chillD your friends( ) 2. The word “spread ” means ____.A 翻译B 传统C传递 D 传播( ) 3. Which of the following sentences is true in the passage?A. An early sign of the cold is viruses in the body.B The virus can’t spread through air.C Objects can spread cold viruses, too.D Few colds are “caught” by hands.( ) 4.People catch colds easily because they _____.A rub their nosesB shake their handsC pick up their children’s tissuesD can’t often wash their hands( ) 5. The passage mainly tell us that _____.A washing hands is a way to keep us from catching coldsB colds are caused by bad weatherC the cold-sufferer shakes hands with the friendsD we should stay in a warm room on the snowy dayD“Y ou are just in time, Joe. We’re going to play cowboys(牛仔) and Indians and you can be the Indians,” one of my cousins(堂兄弟) said.“How many Indians?” I asked.“Oh, about a thousand,” he answered, and before I could say no, I was pushed out into the night and became a thousand Indians. Two minutes later I was running in the fields with a group of cowboys behind. The shouts of “After them. Let’s catch the killers! ” and other such TV-play language came into my ears as I ran around a corner and hurried into my Grandpa’s car.“We’ve got him, boys. Let’s go and catch him!”But no one wanted to come to get me. All of my cousins except one were always very friendly with me. It was quiet outside. And I went out of the car to have a look.Just then I heard a shout. “Bring the rope (绳子), and we can burn him.”“Only Indians burn people. Cowboys…”I stopped just in time. I had almost said, “Cowboys hang(绞死)people.”I was tied to a tree, and the cowboys were looking for some wood when my dear mother called, “We’re leaving now.”“Untie me,” I shouted. “We’re going.”“Why did Bobby want matches(火柴)?”Mum asked when we were in the car. “He was asking Dad whether he had any.”“Oh, he was just going to matches? Matches? Are you sure he wanted matches? ”Mother was quite sure, and I didn’t say any more.( ) 1. How many children played the Indians?A One thousandB One hundredC One groupD One( ) 2.

So a new network system(系统) had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first, the Internet was only used by the government, but, in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers become cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software(软件) that made “surfing(浏览)” the Internet more convenient. Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students. The Internet has now become one of the most important partsof people’s life.( ) 46.
