Like many young people, I dreamed of growing up and becoming a successful writer one day. My first part-time job came when I was 18 years old. I was working in a paint factory. Because of the terrible smell of paint, it became normal for me to temporarily pass out during my lunch time.
I discovered content mills, where a writer could devote his time to writing soul-destroying online copy. It provided a little pay, but I wouldn’t faint. So I quit my day job. But it is difficult to work from home. At times, I would lose all passion for writing 500 words about a bed for a few pounds, but the terrible smell of paint reminded me to get back to writing.
Several months later, the money got better. I was given consistent work writing for one of the largest entertainment websites in the world. The job was simple: I complained about everything that was wrong with society and they paid me 50 for each article. A guy from the website asked if would be interested in leaving my small town life to move to the big city of Manchester to become a professional writer for them. I accepted,
After a pretty successful year, I was offered a promotion. Just 18 months earlier, I was suffering from the smell of paint on a daily basis and now I was managing a team of nine writers. I had come a long way.
4. What happened to the writer when he was in a paint factory

C. He was given consistent work. D. He was given a little pay for writing
7. What does the writer mainly want to express

【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】

Nowadays technologies benefit us a lot in our daily life, but if not properly used, they can affect our health．The bed is supposed to be reserved as a place for sleep, but people tend to read an iPad a lot in bed before they go to sleep．
Charles Czeisler, a professor at Harvard Medical School, and his colleagues got a small group of people for an experiment．For five days in a row, the people read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleep．Their sleep patterns were monitored all night．Before and after each trial period, the people took hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture of just how much melatonin（褪黑激素） was in their blood at any given time．
When subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books, they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning．People also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights, and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion（分泌） was delayed by an hour and a half．
The researchers conclude in today's journal article that given the rise of e-readers and the increasingly widespread use of e-things among children and adolescents, more research into the long-term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed．Czeisler and colleagues go on, in the research paper, to note "Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk"．
However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers according to time of day, and there are also glasses that are made to filter（过滤） short wavelengths．While they seem like a logical solution for the nighttime tech users, it needs more research．
8. In Charles Czeisler's experiment, what were all the subjects asked to do
A. Sit in a row and receive the strict tests．
B. Have their sleep patterns observed all night．
C. Read a paper book and an iPad at the same time．
D. Have their blood tested per hour during the trial．
9. What were the iPad readers likely to do according to the third paragraph
A. They felt less sleepy and tired in the day．
B. They fell asleep more easily after reading．
C. They became less energetic the next morning．
D. They had a lot more melatonin secretions．
10. What can the special software recently developed do for e-readers
A. It can remove the blue light from your devices completely．
B. It can help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelengths．
C. It can weaken the harm done by doing nighttime e-reading．
D. It can be used in all the e-things widely and safely．
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Wrong behaviors before bedtime． B. New software for night e-readers．
C. No games on the iPad in bed． D. No e-reading in bed before sleep．
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍了一项研究，说明晚上睡前电子阅读不利于健康。
【8题详解】
细节理解题．根据第二段第二句“For five days in a row, the people read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleep．”（连续五天，人们在睡前阅读一本纸质书或一部 iPad，阅读时间为四个小时。）可排除A、C两项；根据第二段最后一句中 “Before and after each trial period, the people took hourly blood tests…”（在每个试验期之前和之后，参与者每小时都要进行血液测试）可排除D项；根据第二段第三句“Their sleep patterns were monitored all night”(他们的睡眠模式整晚都被监控着。)可知，被试者的睡眠模式整晚都被观察。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题．根据第三段第一句“When subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books, they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning．”（与纸质书相比，用iPad阅读的受试者在晚上感觉不那么困，第二天早上也不那么活跃。）可知，用iPad看书的人第二天早上他们的精力变得不那么充沛了。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题．根据最后一段“However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers according to time of day, and there are also glasses that are made to filter（过滤） short wavelengths．”（然而，人们已经开发出软件，可以根据一天中的不同时间，减少手机和电脑屏幕发出的蓝光，还有一种眼镜可以过滤短波的光。）可知，特殊软件降低了手机和电脑屏幕的蓝光对电子阅读者造成的危害。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Nowadays technologies benefit us a lot in our daily life, but if not properly used, they can affect our health．The bed is supposed to be reserved as a place for sleep, but people tend to read an iPad a lot in bed before they go to sleep．”（如今，技术在我们的日常生活中给我们带来了很多好处，但是如果使用不当，它们会影响我们的健康。这张床本来是用来睡觉的，但是人们睡觉前往往会在床上看很多 iPad。）可知，文章主题为：晚上临睡前的电子阅读不利于健康，然后通过实验研究证实了这一观点。D项“睡前不要电子阅读”符合标题的概括性和针对性特点。故选D项。
D
Hacking (侵入) isn’t just for computers or smart phones. According to a study published last week in Science, scientists have found a way to hack a plant’s genes in order to make it use sunlight more quickly. Someday, the result could increase the amount of food produced around the world.
Scientists who did the new study believe photosynthesis (光合作用) is a very slow process. Plants use less than one percent of the energy available to them. But by hacking a plant’s genes the scientists are able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants between 14 and 20 percent.
Specially, scientists hacked the plant’s protective system. Normally, this system can be useful when a plant gets too much sunlight. When the plant senses the light, it removes extra energy and creates more leaves. When the plant can’t meet light, the protective system is turned off. But the process is slow. Stephen Long is the lead author of the study. He compared a plant’s protective system to light-adjusting glasses. “When a person wears the sunglasses outside during the day, the sunglasses darken and lighten depending on how sunny it is. Plants do the same thing,” he said. But in plants, the adjustment can take place anywhere, which lasts from 10 minutes to an hour. This makes it hard for plants to get the right amount of sunlight needed to create food.
The new study sped up the process. By changing the plant’s genes, the protective system turned on and off more quickly. As a result, leaf growth on the plants scientists used in the study increased. Leaf growth on two plants increased by 20 percent, while leaf growth on third plants increased by 14 percent. Scientists did the study on tobacco plants. But they think the genetic modification would produce the same results on corn and rice plants. Agriculture professor Tala Awanda said the study made senses, but cautioned the production might not be quite so high for traditional food crops. Still, she added in an email, “This study remains a breakthrough.”
12. What will happen when the plants’ genes are hacked
A. The plants will use sunlight more properly.
B. The plants will remove the energy quickly.
C. The plants will turn on their protective system.
D. The plants will work faster to produce more food.
13. How do scientists make plants produce more leaves
A. By making plants get less sunlight.
B By using computers and smart phones.
C. By making photosynthesis become slow.
D. By changing the protective system of plants.
14. Why does the author mention the light-adjusting glasses
A. To warn people of the hot and bright sun.
B. To explain the usage of plants’ protective system.
C. Just to better understand how sunny it is every day.
D. Just to talk about the adjustment of sunglasses to the sun.
15. What is Tala Awanda’s attitude towards the study
A Critical. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项研究表明，科学家们已经找到了一种方法来侵入植物的基因，使其更快地利用阳光，这可能会增加世界各地的粮食产量。文章对此进行了介绍。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句和第三句“According to a study published last week in Science, scientists have found a way to hack a plant’s genes in order to make it use sunlight more quickly. Someday, the result could increase the amount of food produced around the world.(根据上周发表在《科学》杂志上一项研究，科学家们已经找到了一种方法来侵入植物的基因，使其更快地利用阳光。总有一天，结果可能会增加世界各地的粮食产量。)”可知，当植物的基因被侵入时植物将更快地生产更多的食物。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“But by hacking a plant’s genes the scientists are able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants between 14 and 20 percent.(但是通过破解植物的基因，科学家们能够使植物的叶片生长量增加14%到20%。)”和第三段第一句“Specially, scientists hacked the plant’s protective system.(特别地，科学家们入侵了植物的保护系统。)”可知，科学家通过改变植物的保护系统让植物长出更多的叶子。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第七句“He compared a plant’s protective system to light-adjusting glasses.(他把植物的保护系统比作调光眼镜。)”可知，作者提到调光眼镜是为了解释植物保护系统的用法。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Agriculture professor Tala Awanda said the study made senses, but cautioned the production might not be quite so high for traditional food crops. Still, she added in an email, “This study remains a breakthrough.”(农业教授塔拉·阿旺达说，这项研究是有意义的，但他警告说，传统粮食作物的产量可能不会那么高。不过，她在一封电子邮件中补充说：“这项研究仍然是一个突破。”)”可知，塔拉·阿旺达对这项研究持客观态度。故选C。
第二节 七选五(共 5小题；每小题 2分，满分 10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words, and long lists of words seem to make the mission impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great efforts but forget them easily. That’s why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words. ___16___Here are some tips to help.
___17___We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation. In fact, these two can be combined and each will enhance the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps activate aural(hearing) memory, which helps the memory.___18___ The more familiar we are with the word, the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.
Never memorize single English words. ___19___ Relate the word to terms we already know, either as synonym or antonym. For example, the word "gargantuan" is similar in meaning to words "gigantic", ＂huge" and "large". Make a sequence of words: "small, medium, large, gigantic, and gargantuan".
Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think, "The gargantuan whale is going to swallow me whole".
Learning English words requires action. Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words will be of little help. ___20___ Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will make in our English learning.
A. So take action right now.
B. Speak the word while memorizing it.
C. Memorizing new words is very important.
D. Actually, some have given up learning new words.
E. In fact, learning new words needn’t be that difficult.
F. Make as many associations and connections as possible.
G. The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.
【答案】16. E 17. B 18. G 19. F 20. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，对于一个初学者来说，学习英语是很难的，尤其是记单词，本文就怎么样更好地记单词提出了几点建议。
【16题详解】
空前说那就是为什么经常有些人询问怎样记新单词，空后又说以下是一些建议，此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句，既要对应上文提到的记单词这一话题，又要引出下文的几点建议，所以这里选E（事实上学习新单词没有那么难）与上下文一致。
【17题详解】
空处位于段首，为本段主题句，通读下文特别是根据空后一句可知，本段主要讲的是记单词要与发音联系在一起，这样有助于记忆，所以这里选B（边说边记）与上下文一致。
【18题详解】
空前说说出单词有利于活跃听力记忆，从而增强记忆。空后又说我们对单词越熟悉，我们就越容易在以后的生活中记住，这说明经常听单词的发声有助于我们记住单词，所以这里选G（单词的声音可以帮助我们回忆单词的拼写）与上下文一致。
【19题详解】
空前说永远不要记单个的单词，空后又说把所学的单词和词条相联系，或者同义词，或者反义词，这说明我们要根据单词的联系来记单词，所以这里选F（尽可能多地去联想和联系）与上下文一致。
【20题详解】
空前说抱怨记单词有多难一点儿帮助都没有，空后又说试着一天记忆十个单词，你将会在学习英语上取得很大的进步，这说明要行动而不要抱怨，所以这里选A（现在就行动）与上下文一致。
考点：考查对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。高铁、移动支付、共享单车和网购被称为新的四大发明，中国的科技创新吸引着全世界人民的关注，很多国家都希望从中国学习，促进本国的发展。
【41题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：它们吸引着来自正在参加一带一路倡议20个国家的年轻人。动词短语participate in表示“参加”；该短语的现在分词形式在句中做后置定语修饰名词youths。故填in。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这些新的四大发明都和中国的高科技创新有关，这些科技创新已经改善了人们的生活。句中关系代词which指代先行词high-tech innovation，引导非限制性定语从句并在句中做主语。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：只需要点一下手机我就能买到我想要东西，吃到我想吃到的东西。副词simply在句中做状语修饰介词短语with a tap of my phone。故填simply。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：来自柬埔寨的海外学生林锦龙，补充说甚至卖煎饼的人也在使用支付宝。add此处做非谓语动词，与林锦龙逻辑上构成主动关系，所以用现在分词形式表主动做伴随状语。故填adding。
【45题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：总而言之，在很多方面中国都是领先的；介词短语in a word是固定短语，表示“总而言之”，是对上文的归纳总结。故填a。
【46题详解】
考查形容词。句意：但是中国让共享单车在国内外更加便利和有趣。句中形容词convenient和enjoyable由and连接，是并列关系，都是形容词形式，对it进行补充说明，做宾语补足语。故填enjoyable。
【47题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意：诸如Mobike和 Ofo这样主要的共享单车公司也在新加坡英国这样的海外国家运营共享单车项目。主要的共享单车公司不止一个，应该用复数形式。故填companies。

【50题详解】

第四部分 写作(共两节, 满分40分)
第一节 短文改错(共10小题；每小题 1分满分 10分)
51. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除：把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉。
修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；
2. 只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。
Since I was a kid, I’ve considered different job I would like to do. First, I wanted to be a fireman, whose uniform looked so coolly. Then, when I was in the five grade, I wanted to be a teacher because I liked my English teacher too much. When I studied chemistry high school, I reconsidered my goal or decided to be a doctor. They were two reasons for the decision. One was that I was amazing at the fact that a sick person could feel much more better after seeing a doctor. And the other is that I wanted to help people in need.
【答案】job→jobs
coolly→cool
five→fifth
too→very/so
chemistry后面加上in/at
or→and
They→There
amazing→amazed
去掉more
is→was
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从小到大自己的职业梦想随着求学经历不断改变的过程。
【详解】1. 考查名词的数。“job（工作；职业）”为可数名词，用different（不同的）修饰时意思为不同种类的工作，应该用名词的复数形式。故将job改为jobs。
2. 考查形容词的用法。句中的“looked（看起来）”为系动词，系动词后需用形容词作表语。故将coolly改为cool。
3. 考查序数词。年级、班级是按数字顺序排列的，所以“在几年级”中的数词需要用序数词，故将five改为fifth。如果是Grade在前，则可以用基数词。
4. 考查副词。句意：在五年级的时候，因为我非常喜欢我的英语老师，所以我想变成一名老师。“so much”在句中一般表达肯定意思，可与that连用表示“如此……以至于”。而“too much”表太多，一般与to搭配，表达否定意思“太……以至于不能……”。本句话表达肯定意思，故将too改为very/so。
5. 考查介词。“在高中”需要在地点名词前加介词in或者at，故在high school前加in/at。
6. 考查连词。句意：在高中学化学的时候，我重新考虑了自己的目标并决定变成一名医生。“重新考虑”与“决定变成一名医生”之间是顺承关系，不是选择关系。故将or改为and。
7. 考查there be句型。句意：这项决定有两个原因。句中的they在前边句中找不到指代关系，且后边句子中的one与the other是对这两个原因的解释，故此处要用there be句型。故将they改为there。
8. 考查形容词用法。句意：病人看完医生就会感觉好很多，对此我感到惊奇。amazed意为“（使）大为惊奇”，amazing意为“令人惊奇的”。本句话中主语为I，表示“感到惊奇”，故将amazing改为amazed。
9. 考查形容词比较级。句中better为well（健康；身体好）的比较级形式，多音节的形容词或副词构成比较级用more加形容词或副词，即more不能与better连用。故将more去掉。
10. 考查一般过去时。本篇文章的基础时态是一般过去时，且与最后一句并列的“one was that...”用的也是一般过去时，所以最后一句话时态应为一般过去时。讲述当时做决定时的原因。故将is改为was。
第二节书面表达(满分 25 分)

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇应用文写作。
【详解】第1步:根据提示可知，要求写一封信。假定你是李华，你校英语社团将开展以“环境保护”为主题的演讲比赛，请你写一篇英语演讲稿参加比赛，内容包括：1.说明环保的重要性；2.列举至少一件日常环保事例；3.发出号召。
第2步:根据写作要求，确定关键词(组)。

第4步:连句成文，注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接与过渡，一定要规范清晰，保持整洁美观的卷面是非常重要的。
【点睛】本文内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。文中使用了一些高级表达方式，如The topic of my speech today is Environmental Protection, which we should pay much attention to运用了非限制性定语从句；After all, if we don't protect our environment well, how can we live in harmony with nature 运用了条件状语从句；To protect our environment, we ought to keep in mind that there are many things we can do in our daily life.运用了宾语从句等，全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。

Like many young people I dreamed of growing up and becoming a successful writer one day. My first part-time job came when I was 18 years old. I was working in a paint factory. Because of the terrible smell of paint, it became normal for me to temporarily pass out during my lunch time.
I discovered content mills, where a writer could devote his time to writing soul-destroying online copy. It provided a little pay, but I wouldn’t faint. So I quit my day job. But it is difficult to work from home. At times, I would lose all passion for writing 500 words about a bed for a few pounds, but the terrible smell of paint reminded me to get back to writing.
Several months later, the money got better. I was given consistent work writing for one of the largest entertainment websites in the world. The job was simple: I complained about everything that was wrong with society and they paid me 50 for each article. A guy from the website asked if would be interested in leaving my small town life to move to the big city of Manchester to become a professional writer for them. I accepted,
After a pretty successful year, I was offered a promotion. Just 18 months earlier, I was suffering from the smell of paint on a daily basis and now I was managing a team of nine writers. I had come a long way.
4. What happened to the writer when he was in a paint factory
A. He became unconscious due to the bad smell of paint. B. He lost his breath during lunch time.
C. He loved his part-time job. D. He passed out for a long time.
5. Which of the following can be learned according to the text
A. The writer quit his job to get a higher salary.
B. The writer declined to become an in - house writer.
C. The writer was in charge of a team of 9 writers now.
D. The writer fainted daily due to the bad pay.
6. Why did the writer once lose love for writing
A. The smell of paint was unpleasant. B. He lost consciousness while writing.
C. He was given consistent work. D. He was given a little pay for writing
7. What does the writer mainly want to express
A. A man can do no more than he can.
B. Follow dreams and never give up.
C. The last leg of a journey just marks the halfway point.
D. No pains, no gains.
C
Nowadays technologies benefit us a lot in our daily life, but if not properly used, they can affect our health．The bed is supposed to be reserved as a place for sleep, but people tend to read an iPad a lot in bed before they go to sleep．
Charles Czeisler a professor at Harvard Medical School, and his colleagues got a small group of people for an experiment．For five days in a row, the people read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleep．Their sleep patterns were monitored all night．Before and after each trial period, the people took hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture of just how much melatonin（褪黑激素） was in their blood at any given time．
When subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books, they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning．People also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights, and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion（分泌） was delayed by an hour and a half．
The researchers conclude in today's journal article that given the rise of e-readers and the increasingly widespread use of e-things among children and adolescents, more research into the long-term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed．Czeisler and colleagues go on, in the research paper, to note "Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk"．
However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers according to time of day, and there are also glasses that are made to filter（过滤） short wavelengths．While they seem like a logical solution for the nighttime tech users, it needs more research．
8. In Charles Czeisler's experiment, what were all the subjects asked to do
A. Sit in a row and receive the strict tests．
B. Have their sleep patterns observed all night．
C. Read a paper book and an iPad at the same time．
D. Have their blood tested per hour during the trial．
9. What were the iPad readers likely to do according to the third paragraph
A. They felt less sleepy and tired in the day．
B. They fell asleep more easily after reading．
C. They became less energetic the next morning．
D. They had a lot more melatonin secretions．
10. What can the special software recently developed do for e-readers
A. It can remove the blue light from your devices completely．
B. It can help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelengths．
C. It can weaken the harm done by doing nighttime e-reading．
D. It can be used in all the e-things widely and safely．
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Wrong behaviors before bedtime． B. New software for night e-readers．
C. No games on the iPad in bed． D. No e-reading in bed before sleep．
D
Hacking (侵入) isn’t just for computers or smart phones. According to a study published last week in Science, scientists have found a way to hack a plant’s genes in order to make it use sunlight more quickly. Someday, the result could increase the amount of food produced around the world.
Scientists who did the new study believe photosynthesis (光合作用) is a very slow process. Plants use less than one percent of the energy available to them. But by hacking a plant’s genes the scientists are able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants between 14 and 20 percent.
Specially, scientists hacked the plant’s protective system. Normally, this system can be useful when a plant gets too much sunlight. When the plant senses the light, it removes extra energy and creates more leaves. When the plant can’t meet light, the protective system is turned off. But the process is slow. Stephen Long is the lead author of the study. He compared a plant’s protective system to light-adjusting glasses. “When a person wears the sunglasses outside during the day, the sunglasses darken and lighten depending on how sunny it is. Plants do the same thing,” he said. But in plants, the adjustment can take place anywhere, which lasts from 10 minutes to an hour. This makes it hard for plants to get the right amount of sunlight needed to create food.
The new study sped up the process. By changing the plant’s genes, the protective system turned on and off more quickly. As a result, leaf growth on the plants scientists used in the study increased. Leaf growth on two plants increased by 20 percent, while leaf growth on third plants increased by 14 percent. Scientists did the study on tobacco plants. But they think the genetic modification would produce the same results on corn and rice plants. Agriculture professor Tala Awanda said the study made senses, but cautioned the production might not be quite so high for traditional food crops. Still, she added in an email, “This study remains a breakthrough.”

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words, and long lists of words seem to make the mission impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great efforts but forget them easily. That’s why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words. ___16___Here are some tips to help.
___17___We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation. In fact, these two can be combined and each will enhance the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps activate aural(hearing) memory, which helps the memory.___18___ The more familiar we are with the word, the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.
Never memorize single English words. ___19___ Relate the word to terms we already know, either as synonym or antonym. For example, the word "gargantuan" is similar in meaning to words "gigantic", ＂huge" and "large". Make a sequence of words: "small, medium, large, gigantic, and gargantuan".
Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think, "The gargantuan whale is going to swallow me whole".
Learning English words requires action. Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words will be of little help. ___20___ Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will make in our English learning.
A. So take action right now.
B. Speak the word while memorizing it.
C. Memorizing new words is very important.
D. Actually, some have given up learning new words.
E. In fact, learning new words needn’t be that difficult.
F. Make as many associations and connections as possible.
G. The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.

Since I was a kid, I’ve considered different job I would like to do. First, I wanted to be a fireman, whose uniform looked so coolly. Then, when I was in the five grade, I wanted to be a teacher because I liked my English teacher too much. When I studied chemistry high school, I reconsidered my goal or decided to be a doctor.
