14、ons Passage OneHow men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they
15、agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations (联想) the things they bring up before our minds. Words b
16、ecome filled with meanings for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts
17、but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and
18、association can move men to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar (庸俗的).31. The origin of language is _.A. a legend handed down from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or secretC. a question difficult t
19、o answerD. a problem not yet solved32. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Powerful words are closely associated.B. Words in proper combination bring up meaning before our minds.C. Words mean little to those without experience.D. Certain words mean more to us when we grow older.33. The more we rea
20、d and learn, _.A. the more meanings the words carryB. the more meaningful words we haveC. the more we want to learn wordsD. the more clever we become34. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?A. He is no more than a master of words.B. He can convey his ideas in words which
21、 sing like music.C. His literary style is always charming.D. His poems can move men to tears.35. “Literary style” refers to _.A. how great thoughts are generatedB. how writers use words to appeal to our mind and feelingsC. how charming great writers areD. how writers tell us the different uses of wo
22、rdsPassage TwoFriends play an important part in our lives and although we may take the friendship for granted，we often dont clearly understand how we make friends. Although we get on well with many people，we are usually friends with only a very fewfor example，the average number of friends among stud
23、ents is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships，two people like one another and enjoy being together but beyond that，the degree of intimacy (亲密) between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary greatly. As we get to know people，we take into consideration things like
24、 age，race，economic condition，social position，and intelligence. Although these factors are not of first importance，it is more difficult to get on with people when there is an obvious difference in age and background. Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion，but it is usual f
25、or close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs，to have attitudes and interests in commonthey often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become，the more they rely on one another. People want to help friends
26、 and hate to break a promise. Equally，friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to accept differences of opinion. In contrast with marriage，there are no friendship ceremonies (仪式) to strengthen the relationship between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other tha
27、t results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful tie，which can overcome differences in background，and break down barriers of age，class or race. 36. According to the author _. A. all those who get on well with each other are friendsB friends are closer than people who jus
28、t get on well with each otherC. everyone understands clearly how to make friendsD. every student has six friends37. When we make friends，we consider such things as age，race，and background，because_. A. it is not easy to have a friendly relationship with people when there is a great difference inage，b
29、ackground，etc. B. the degree of friendship between two people and the reason for their shared interest can vary widelyC. friends need to know all these thingsD. these are the most important factors to make friends38. In Paragraph 2, “being on the same wavelength” means _. A. using the same frequency
30、 while talking B. keeping the same friendly relationship as other people do C. having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interestsD. having the same background39. Which of the following is false according to the passage ?A. Even friends may have differences of opinions. B. Friends never argue wit
31、h each other. C. It generally takes time for people to become close friends. D. Someones habits may annoy his friends. 40. To strengthen friendly relationship, people _. A. must hold friendship ceremoniesB. have to remove differences in backgroundC. should make friends with those who are of the same
32、 age and of the same raceD. should support and understand each other through shared experiences and emotionsPassage ThreeYou are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they merely fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another ov
33、er the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course he isnt really dead. With any luck he isnt even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast-moving trains, who crash
34、 cars or even catch fire, are professional. They do this for a living. These men are called “stuntmen”（特技演员）. That is to say, they perform “tricks”There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they
35、do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the “chairs” are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the “glass” is made of sugar!But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also re
36、quires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntmans success depends on precise timing. For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous live
37、s. They often get seriously injuredand sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a precipice (悬崖峭壁) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞)failed to openand he was killed.41. According to the passage, stuntmen are people who _.A. are skilled in sports such as skii
