18、000 words whose meanings he or she recognizes by hearing them or getting familiar with them in the context or simply absorbing them without conscious effort. The best way to build a good vocabulary, therefore, is to read a great deal and to participate in a lot of good talks. There are relatively fe
19、w words that we learn permanently by purposefully referring to dictionaries or keeping word lists.

When you co
20、me across a new word, or a new meaning of an old word, stop and see if you can understand it from its context. If you cant, and if you can manage without interrupting the thought of the book too much, look it up in a dictionary or ask somebody and then repeat its meaning to yourself a couple of time
21、s. If you are really conscientious(认真的), write the word and its meaning in a personal vocabulary list preferably using it in a sentence, or you can keep a special vocabulary notebook. Go over the list from time to time. Further, try to use a new word in writing or conversation a few times over the n
22、ext several days.Listen to good talks and be alert to new words you hear or to new meanings of words you already know. Then treat them just as you treat the new words you read.Learn and be alert to the parts of words: prefixes, suffixes and roots. Knowing them enables you to make intelligent guesses
23、 about the meanings of words.If you are studying a foreign language, be alert to words in that language which relate to words in English. English has inherited(继承) or borrowed much of its vocabulary of 500 000600 000 words from Latin, Greek, French, Spanish and German.【小题1】When you meet a new word i

27、hibition said they had waited as long as one and a half hours to get in. Ravi Nair, a 73-year-old Indian visitor, said: I had to queue for about an hour but it was worth it. The exhibition should help people in democratic countries realize that their vote is very valuable.Trabold said “Hitler and th
28、e Germans” was so popular because it was the first exhibition to explain how a man who lived on the margins of society for 30 years, in Viennas mens hostels, could become an almost mythical（神话的）leader of the German people. We are all affected by Hitler, so it speaks to all of us and helps Germans an
29、d foreigners to come to terms with the past. Inge Lonning, a 72-year-old tourist from Norway said: I thought the exhibition was very impressive. I wanted to see it because I experienced the German occupation of Norway as a small child, so its not just history for me. But not everyone was convinced t
30、here was something new to be learned from the exhibition. So much has been done about this period over the years, it was like, I knew this and I knew that, said Canadian Julien Cayer, aged 28.

36、dy wants to find out if December 21, 2012 is the last day of the earth. The rumor has already been spreading for a very long time. The Mayans prediction can account for the rumor. According to the rumor, the earth will experience dramatic changes in 2012 and the changes will be disastrous to all of
37、the living creatures on earth. It is widely assumed that a Planet X will return to orbit the solar system. The return of Planet X will have a destructive effect on the solar system as well as on some planets including the Neptune, the Jupiter and the earth. Planet X will cross into their orbits. The
38、res a possibility that Jupiter will change into a little sun at this time, so folks will be well placed to see two suns in the sky in 2012.The solar flares (耀斑) that occur in a 11-year cycle will reach their highest point in 2012. The powerful solar flares will affect the magnetic field of the earth
39、 and cause disasters. On December 21, 2012, the sun and the earth will line up in the same line at the equator(赤道). The winter solstice(冬至) only occurs once every 25,800 years. The events in the universe are signals that the world will come to an end. As a result of the solar flares, lots of disaste
40、rs will happen that will destroy the face of the whole earth. Scientists are making the guess primarily based on the Mayan Long Count Calendar. Many films have been made about the end of the world including End Game by Alex Jones and End Clock: Nostradamus 2012. The former provides insights about th
41、e way the world will become one state. After the world government is in place, its going to be easy to exterminate 80% of the people in the world. The rest will continue to live with assistance from advanced technology.No one knows whether the world will end on December 21, 2012: There is no clear a
42、nswer until the day arrives. Just as the Mayans claim, it will not be the time for the world to end. Instead, it will be the dawn of a fresh start.13 What is the passage mainly about? A.
