Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet finished or plants that are not ripe（成熟）. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed（发育）. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in war（战争）. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has todaya person who is new in a job. About one hundred years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression（表述）in the American west. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities in the east. The greenhorn didnt have the skills that he would need to live in the hard, rough country. Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have magic that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died. The Green Revolution（革命）is the name which was given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution came from the hard work by agricultural（农业的）scientists who had green thumbs.26 . According to the passage, a greenhorn means _ now.Aa young cow or ox whose horns have not yet developedBa soldier who has not had any experience in warCa person who is new in a jobDa man who doesnt have the skills to live in the country27 .

The main idea of the passage is _.Aa greenhornBa green thumbCthe Green RevolutionDthe word “green” and its storyWhen you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, once at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language. Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. Its important to master(掌握) the rules for word order(顺序) in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener cant understand his sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesnt change. Lets see the difference between the two pairs of sentences. “She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”“I have seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.30 . What does the underlined word “translation” mean in Chinese?A翻译B解释C意思D交通31 . Which of the following is the authors opinion about learning English?AIt is difficult to understand different sounds in learning English.BIt is possible to remember the word order in learning English.CIt is important to master the rules in different ways in learning English.DIt is easy to master the rules for word order in learning English.32 . Which of the following expressions is TRUE?AThe meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of words.BThe order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence.CSometimes a different order of word has a different meaning.DIf the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different.33 . “She only likes apples.” _Ais the same as “Only she likes apples.”Bis different from “Only she likes apples.”Cmeans “She likes fruit especially apples.”Dmeans “She doesnt like apples.”34 . Which is the best title for this passage?AHow to Put English into Our Own LanguageBDifferent Orders, Different MeaningsCHow to Speak EnglishDHow to Learn EnglishWhen I was seven years old, my mom was diagnosed（诊断）with cancer. The doctors told us my mom might be saved with operation. But it could also kill her. She chose to have it.The day before the operation I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life, everything I loved at seven and everything that would put a smile on my face. The day began with her waking me up saying, “Kate, I have a surprise for you. Come and see.” The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time. Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person; she told me to be the best I could be and that I would always make her proud. We had a picnic in the park, and it was so cold that we moved to the car. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I could see she was really happy. I would never forget her smile, or the way her eyes shone as if we were the same age. It was the best day of my life, and I will never forget the conversations we shared.My mother managed to live through the operation.

We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus(集中) on our present situation.Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination(终点). We dont take time to truly appreciate(感激) where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way.Lets use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will watch others achieve our goal instead.What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues(同事). It could simply be a change of attitude(态度), such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion(晋升).So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true: “Rome wasnt built in a day.” “Patience is a virtue(美德).” and so on.Have patience, have appreciation for what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life every day.TitleFocus on the presentThemeTo 63 . our goals, we should focus on what we have and where we are now.Common64 . We do not focus on our present situation.Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone to our final destination.We do not 65 . the time truly appreciating where we are today and what we already have in our lives.An 66 . our job67 . the thought of getting promoted.
