Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries may speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.
The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.
The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check this in a dictionary.

A. Dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak English.
B. Whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries.

PART FOUR WRITING
SECTION A
Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram / Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer
Dieters are often advised to stop drinking alcohol to avoid the extra calories hidden in a glass of wine or a favorite cocktail. But new research suggests that women who regularly consume fair amounts of alcohol are less likely to gain weight than nondrinkers and are at lower risk for fat.
The findings are based on a study of 19,220 United States women aged 39 or older who, at the start of the study, fell into the “normal weight” category based on their body mass index (身體質(zhì)量指數(shù)). Researchers tracked the women’s drinking habits over 13 years. About 60 percent of the women were light or regular drinkers, while about 40 percent reported drinking no alcohol.
Over the course of the study, 41 percent of the women became overweight or fat. Although alcohol is packed with calories (about 150 in a six-ounce glass of wine), the nondrinkers in the study actually gained more weight over time: nine pounds, on average, compared with an average gain of about three pounds among regular mild drinkers. The risk of becoming overweight was almost 30 percent lower for women who consumed one or two alcohol drinks a day, compared with nondrinkers.
The findings are certain to be confusing for women who continue to receive conflicting messages about the health benefits and risks of alcohol. Although mild drinking is associated with better heart health, regular drinking also increases breast cancer risk.
The trend toward less weight gain among drinkers doesn’t appear to hold true for men. A 2003 study of British men showed that regular drinkers gained more weight than nondrinkers. There may be differences in how men and women metabolize(代謝) alcohol. Metabolic studies show that after men drink alcohol, they experience little if any metabolic change. But alcohol appears to slightly speed up a woman’s metabolism.
The findings don’t mean women should rush to drink alcohol to lose weight. Other research shows that once a person is already overweight, her alcohol metabolism is more efficient, and so an overweight woman may gain more weight from alcohol than a lean woman. The data do, however, suggest that for many women facing weight problems, the extra calories are probably not coming from alcoholic drinks.

Ⅳ. 78 fact

Ⅴ. Suggestion and conclusion
●Women should not rush to drink alcohol to lose weight.
●For women with weight problems, alcoholic drinks are probably not the 80 of extra calories.

閱讀下面的短文,并根據(jù)短文后面的要求答題。(請注意問題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求)
After achieving a 9 percent GDP growth, hosting a successful Olympic Games and carrying out its first space walk the year before last, you'd think China would be happy. __________________. That, at least, is the opinion of a new book written by a group of Chinese authors.
China Is Not Happy was published in March, 2009. It is a follow-up to the 1996 work China Can Say No, a bestseller that complained about the influence of the West, and the US in particular, on China. Thirteen years later, the authors of China Is Not Happy list their dissatisfaction with how China is being treated in the world today.
They argue that China needs to use its growing power and economic resources to build its own position of preeminence (卓越). "From looking at the history of human civilization, we are most qualified to lead this world." the book says.
The authors, single out the US for special scorn (輕蔑). "The economic problem has shown the Chinese people that America does have problems, that what we've been saying is right," said one of the authors.
The book has become a bestseller in many Chinese bookstores. Yet much of the response to the book has been negative. Several reviews in the Chinese media have criticized the book's radical (激進(jìn)的) opinions. The book is a way to "fish money from the pockets of the angry youth and angry elderly," wrote one critic in the China Youth Daily. Meanwhile, a well-known sociologist, Li Yinhe, has said that China needs patriotism (愛國主義), but there is a limit. In her blog she wrote, "If we are to bully (欺負(fù)) other countries, take the world's resources and try to lead it, we're going over the top."
76. List three great achievements that China made in 2008 based on the text. (Please answer within 20 words.)
① _____________________________________________________________________________
②______________________________________________________________________________
③______________________________________________________________________________
77. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 1 with proper words.(Please answer within 6 words.)

78. Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?

79. What is the main idea of the last Paragraph? (Please answer within 10words.)

80. Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 into Chinese.
