Books were in Latin.Some Romans went to other parts of the world. They took their language with them. Soon Latin was used in many countries. It became a world language.People in other countries did not talk in Latin in the same way. In each land, they changed the language a little. As time went by, they made more changes. At last they did not talk in Latin any more. New languages had come from the old one.People do not talk to one another in Latin today. But they still use many Latin words. You do, too. Street, wall, city, and salt are some of the Latin words we use. You are a pupil in school. Pupil is a Latin word. It means “little doll”.( )1. Latin was used by people in _ long ago.A. RomeB.

Latin is a useful language in businessBThe idea of what shaking the head means is not always the same in different countries. Maybe some visitors would be surprised when they first came to India. When they talked to an Indian, he would often shake his head. The visitors might think that the Indian did not like what they said. But, in fact, they would be completely wrong.Indians always shake their heads when they talk to each other. It does not have the same meaning as our “No”. if someone wants to visit India, he should know this, or it will give him some trouble.One day, a foreign officer went to India on business. He hired（租用）a car and an Indian to drive it. When he told his driver to send him to his office, the Indian shook his head at once. The officer said again, and the driver shook his head again. At last, the officer, of course, got angry.“How dare you refuse my order?” he shouted. “Drive me to my office at once.”The drive answered in quite a loud voice, too, “Yes, sir!” but to the officers surprised, the driver shook his head at the same timeThe car started, and the foreign officer was now too surprised to say a word. He thought about it for a while, and then he nodded with a smile, “No means Yes here!”( )1.

In China shaking the head means “No”.CWill it matter if you dont have your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was giving in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they had no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different breakfasts. The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.( )1.

According to the passage, some people think that if a person doesnt have breakfast, he or she will _.A. be healthierB. work betterC. lose weightD. lose his or her way( )4. The underlined word “reduce” in the last sentence means “_”.A. 增加B. 减少C. 放弃D. 享用( )5. Which of the following is NOT true.A. It is bad for your health to have no breakfast.B. Too little for breakfast and too much for lunch make you fat.C. If you dont eat much for breakfast, you may lose weight.D. The more breakfast you have, the more quickly you will learn in class.DWe know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration（迁移）is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon（大马哈鱼）”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and most of them are killed when they fall into the sea.Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster（龙虾）. Every year, when the seasons of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean（大洋）. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we dont. maybe living things just like to travel.( )1. Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _.A. give birthB. enjoy warmer weatherC. find food more easilyD. find beautiful places( )2.

The lobsters move _.A. to the fresh waterB. at a certain timeC. to the underseaD. to find more food( )5. The main idea of the passage is that _.A. animals move to find food more easilyB. the migration of the fish called “salmon” is the most famous migrationC. living things move from one place to another because they like to travelD. sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another, but sometimes we dont四、用所给词语的适当形式填空 1.
