高中英语综合复习练习题

1.【题文】A little girl was enjoying the beauty of the garden in her home. Her father

had several precious plants. He grew them with great care.

The girl was amazed by a plant full of fine flowers. She went near the plant and

enjoyed the beauty of its flowers. Suddenly she noticed that the plant was growing

in a heap of filth (污垢). She could not stand the presence of dirt at the bottom

of the plant with such beautiful flowers.

She worked out a plan to clean the plant. She pulled the plant with all her strength

and uprooted it. She then carried it to the room and washed the roots in water till

all traces of dirt were washed away. She then placed the plant on a clean stone and

went away, thinking that she had done a great thing.

leaves had withered (枯萎的) and the plant had almost died in the sun. His little

daughter ran to him to show him her achievement. “I have cleaned it, Daddy,” she

said happily. “It was planted in dirty soil. Now it is clean.”

The father showed her how her treatment had almost killed the plant. He told her

that he had collected the filthy soil and used it to cover the plant’ s roots, as

it was the best way to grow that plant. It could grow up healthily and produce fine

2.【题文】There are many useful suggestions that can help one to improve English.

Here are some of them to increase one’s English language vocabulary.

Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words.

It is based on understanding important words and expressions.

Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Researches show

that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions(重复) to really make a word part of your

vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context (上下文)，the more words one is shown, the better vocabulary one will have. Keep a piece

of paper close to you. When you read, pay close attention to the word you do not

know, write the word down and try to understand its meaning from the context. Then

look up the word in a dictionary.

Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in

conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn

new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing.

Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English.

Building vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember: “In the beginning was the word.”

Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the

quality of your communication.
