11、25 分）ADo you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat?Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton?To find out, we have to go back to 1066, when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne (王位)
12、, which not only changed the government but also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc（pork）and beouf （beef） came into the
13、English language. However, poor English farmers raised the animals. So the English language retained the words pig and cow from the Native Anglo-SaxonThe Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.According to language e
14、xperts, English speakers who have never studied French may already know 15,000 French words! Between one-third and two-thirds of all English words have French origins. Some words such as “possible” and “avenue” are the same in French and English; only the pronunciations change. Other words such as “
15、ballet” keep their French pronunciations in both languages.In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender (性别), so adjectives take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The word “blond” describes someone with light-colored hai
16、r. “Blond” is used for men, and “blonde” describes women. And they are also nouns.Some French words that entered the English language have completely different meanings. The French phrase “a la mode” means “in style”. In English, the phrase means “with the ice cream”. Someone must have decided somet
17、hing eaten with ice cream was in style!Now, as you learn English, youre on your way to learning French!21. French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because _.A. too many French moved to Britain B. French brought animals with them C. the king and his officials spoke French D. the kin

20、ows how the story of Cinderella does everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals before she meets the prince. If someone asked Cinderella, “Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?” She probably would answer , “Why , none , of course. Housework is my duty!” In th
21、e real world, however, most people have certain dislikes for some kinds of household work. Two of these tasks are ironing（熨）clothes and washing dishes.Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly. Each piece of clothing must be handled（处理） sep
22、arately, so ironing a basket of them can take hours! If you do not follow directions carefully, it might become wrinkled and you have to start over. Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do. It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end.Another household job that ma
23、ny people dislike is washing dishes. Of course, some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because, we have dishwashers now! However, no one would argue that dishes, silverware, and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher dont come out as clean as they do when washed by hand. Fo
24、r this reason, many of us continue to wash our dishes. And it is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them. In addition, unlike ironing clothes, washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day. I dont know how Cinderella felt about th
25、is particular task, but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do.24. For Cinderella, doing household work is _.A. what she hates to do B. what she is responsible for C. what she loves to do D. what she is content with 25. Most people hate to do clothes-ironing because _.A. it takes a lot o
26、f time B. it has to be done by one person C. it must be handled skillfully D. it needs careful planning 26. Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machine washing because _.A. hand washed dishes are cleaner B. dishwashers are not so easily handledC. some dishes cannot be washed by machin
27、e D. washing dishes by hand is cheaper27. Ironing is different from washing dishes in that _.A. it requires patience B. it is not a daily houseworkC. it is not tiring D. it needs less careCEverybody is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure of your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker h
28、as been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quite angry. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory Univers
29、ity in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys. They look smart. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily. Above all, like
30、 female human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnans study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens (奖券) for food. Normally, the monkeys were
31、happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms so that each could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different.In the world of monkeys, grapes are excellent goods (and much
32、 preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the resea
33、rcher, or refused to accept the cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey.The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses. In the wild, they ar
34、e co-operative and group-living. Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not the nature of human beings alone. Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals o
35、f the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.28. The underlined statement “it is all too monkey” means that _.A. monkeys are also
36、angry with lazy fellowsB. feeling angry at unfairness is also monkeys natureC. monkeys, like humans, tend to be envious of each otherD. no animals other than monkeys can develop such feelings29. It can be learned from the passage that _.A. only monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in th
37、e worldB. women will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treatedC. in the wild, monkeys are unhappy to share their food with each otherD. monkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes, for grapes are more attractive30. Which of the following conclusions is true according to the passage?A. H
38、uman beings feelings of anger developed from the monkeys.B. In the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with others.C. Co-operation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated.D. The sense of fairness among monkeys probably dates back to 35 million years ago
