All we assume(推测) is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations the things they bring up to our minds. Words bee filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words bring back to us the happy 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 but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call literary style (文体). Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and mon.21We learn from the text that language might have begun with _.A. expressions B. actionsC. signs D. sounds22What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A. The learning of new words.B. The importance of old words.C. The relation of human experience with words.D. The gradual change and development of words.23In the last paragraph, what does the author suggest that we should do?A. Use words skillfully.B. Make musical speeches. C. Learn poems by heart.D. Associate with listeners.答案与解析：【语篇解读】尽管有种种推测，语言的形成至今仍然是一个谜。不过，语言的魅力无比神奇。如何熟练地运用语言应该成为我们每个人的追求。21解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句前半部分中的内容可知语言可能起源于“声音”。答案：D22解析：段落大意题。本段第一句是中心句，后面都是对前面的进一步解释，因此C项正确。答案：C23解析：推理判断题。最后一段先叙述了文字工作者巧妙利用文字起到的非凡效果，再结合本段最后一句中的内容可推测作者建议我们熟练地运用文字。答案：ABIt was Monday. Mrs Smiths dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house. Considering that there was no better way, Mrs Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently “Take this to the butcher (a person whose job is selling meat). And hes going to give you your lunch today.”Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butchers. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the ladys handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers.But, the dog came again at four oclock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butchers more surprise, it came for the third time at six oclock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled.

I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but my mother fought strongly against it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up. “You cant say its not a great university，just because Papa went there.” “Thats not it at all. And it is a top university.” She was still holding the pieces in her hand. “But we cant afford to send you to college.” “I wouldnt dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things arent that bad，are they？” “No, ” she said. “I dont expect you to help support us.” Father borrowed money from his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop. His chief customers were his old college friends. To get new customers, my mother had to help. She picked up a longforgotten membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment(投资) could show returns. Whats more, they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful; otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly. I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives, and the determination not to repeat their mistakes. I had a strong belief in my power to get what I wanted. After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship(奖学金). My father could hardly contain his pride in me, and my mother eventually gave in before my success.28The author was not allowed to go to Cornell University mainly because _. Ahis father graduated from the university Bhis mother did not think it a great university Chis parents needed him to help support the family Dhis parents did not have enough money for him29The father started his small shop with the money from _.

Putting a smile on someones face when you know they are feeling depressed, as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart. How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife，husband, child, coworker neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I dont know the person Im joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is a mon manner to speak to others that are around you. I know of a few people that dont have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They dont get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting_a_gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke? Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to avoid the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. Therefore, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.32According to the author，humor is useful in the aspect that _. Ait can pick up peoples spirits Bit can help people get on well with others Cit can help get rid of the cruelty in the world Dit makes people more confident33The author answers the question in the second paragraph with _. Afacts and descriptionsBevidence and argumentCexamples and conclusionDstories and persuasion34The underlined phrase “busting a gut” in the 3rd paragraph can be replaced by“_” Akeeping silent Bspeaking loud Claughing hard Dexplaining carefully35In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to _. Atalk about his own understanding of humor Bencourage people to be humorous in daily life Cintroduce a practical way to get through daily lifeDconvince people of the power of being optimistic about life答案与解析：32解析：推理判断题。根据文章第一段的引出和最后一段的总结可知，幽默能够使人精神振作起来。B项的帮助人们和别人相处、C项的消除残暴、D项的使人更自信，都不合题意。答案：A33解析：文章结构题。根据文章第二段可知，是先提出问题、然后以我和我的奶奶为例加以说明、最后进行总结，故答案为C。而不是A项的事实和描述、B项的证据和讨论、D项的故事和劝说。答案：C34解析：词义猜测题。根据上下文的提示可知，当我在“大笑”的时候，别人却很是不理解。而不是A项的保持沉默、B项的大声说话、D项的仔细解释。答案：C35解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的总结可以看出，作者鼓励人们在日常生活中应该保持幽默的个性，使自己具有健康的心态。答案：B第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。_36_ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start your own club.
