One way is to teach students how to learn more effectively and efficiently. Learning strategies are "Procedures or techniquesthat learners can use to facilitate a learning task." Instructing students of English in learning strategies can help them becomebetter learners. In addition, skill in using learning strategies assists students in becoming independent, confident learners. Finally, students become more motivated as they begin to understand the relationship between their use of strategies and success in learning English. Students need to develop an awareness of the learningprocess and strategies that lead to success. Students who reflect on their own thinking are more likely to engage in planning how to proceed with a learning task, monitoring their own performance on an ongoing basis, finding solutions to problems encountered, andevaluating themselves upon task completion. These activities may be difficult for students accustomed to having a teacher who solves all their learning problems and is the sole judge of their progress. Teachers need to encourage students to rely more on themselves. Because learning strategies are mental processes with few observable manifestations, teachers need to find ways to make the strategies as concrete as possible. When students are able to use the strategies their teachers have taught them, and to do so without prompting, then they need to explore new strategies, new applications, and new opportunities for self-regulated learning.(1). Better learning strategies can make language learning more( ).A. funB.interestingC.efficientD.exciting(2). Students who reflect on their own ( )will be more successful in learning.A. thinkingB.evaluationC.performanceD. activities(3).

Students learn learning strategies from the teachers only.B.Learning strategies are completely unobservable.C.Students need to explore new learning strategies for themselves.D.Teache rs are the sole judges of students’ progress.2. Most animals have little connection with animals of different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership ( 伙伴关系 ) which does goodto both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites （寄生虫 ) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together. Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals (珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they havetiny plants act as "dustman", taking some of the waste products form the corals and giving inreturn oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are ever prevented from lighting so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.(1).

Most animals only have connection with animals.C. The connection between the living things.D. Corals have some connection with plants.3. Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to “light” beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. Doctors found that less than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to reduce weight said they were combining exercise with their diet.Still, exercise’s supporting role in weight reduction is necessary.A study confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.If you have been sedentary and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year’ time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lost ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.(1). According to the passage, what is the advantage of exercise mentioned by the author? ( )A. It can help you keep good health.B.It can help you maintain body weight.C. It can help you get rid of illness.D.It can help you find a good job.(2). When American people decided to lose their weight, what would they rather try? ( )A. To do exercise.B. To try some “light” beer.C. To try some “light” beer and low-calorie bread.D. To try both A and C.(3). The following statements are true except ( ).A. If people try some special food such as “light” beer when they want to lose weight, they would not regain their old weight.B. Both the diet and exercise play an important role in losing weight.C. Few American people who were trying to reduce weight would do exercise with their diet.D. If people walk one mile daily, and keep doing so for one year with diet, he would lost tenpounds.(4). The word “reduce” (Para. 1 ) probably means ( ).A. decreaseB. loseC. lessenD. cut down(5). This passage is mainly about ( ).A. the meaning of exerciseB. the way to reduce weightC. the relation between lose weight and exerciseD. the importance of losing weight4. Bill Gates, the head of the world’s biggest computer softwarecompany, the Microsoft Corporation, has a mission: “to put a computer on every office desk and in every home”. Bill Gates has had this mission since he was a university student years ago. This deep personal interest, together with his technical skills and his business marketing skills helped him to create a giant computer company and to make him wealthy.Although he is so wealthy, Bill Gates does not want to give up. He is still very interested in his vision and he travels the globe, making quick stops in cities to sell the new software products of his company.The central vision of Bill Gates is the “information highway”. This is a network for computers that will link every home, office and shop in the future. This computer network system will have an effect on business, shopping and education. Bill Gates says that the main use of this new technology will be in communication. It will be a way to find people with common interests and to share opinions with them. But is this communication by computer along the “information highway” really a good thing? Won’t we be sitting at home, only “socializing” with our computer, paying big compani es money so that we can receive information that some large communication corporation somewhere had decided is “acceptable” for us to read? No, says Bill Gates, he thinks that the phrase “information highway” is aterrible phrase. It makes people think that we are all going down the same road, he says. In fact, the computer network will let us choose our own intellectual direction. It will give us freedom. It will also bring good to society, because it will allow for the spread of education. When more and more people receive education, the gap between the rich and the poor will narrow.In the meantime, however, the gap between the rich and the poor is still there. To be added to this now is the gap between those with computers and those without.(1). Ever since he was a college student, Bill Gates has ________.A. become very interested in the computerB. set up a goal to popularize the computerC. discovered great potentials in computer businessD. dreamed of having a giant computer company(2). Bill Gates’ success depends on the following except__________A. his vision and his travel over the globeB. his technical skills and business marketing skillsC. his deep personal interest in developing computer scienceD. his strong desire to make big money(3). The word “vision” ( para.3) probably means________.A. SightB. ideaC. effortD. daydream(4). The “information highway” will mainly be used _______A. in human communicationB. to help link every home, office and shopC. in business, shopping and educationD. to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor(5). The best title for this passage is probably _________A. Bill Gates, his Vision and MissionB. Computer and InformationC. Advantages of the Computer NetworkD.
