All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could municate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters. These letters could be bined 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-the things they bring up before our minds. Words bee filled with meaning 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 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 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(粗俗的).41Which is TRUE about the origin of language? AMen, as well as animals, in vented certain sounds to express thoughts.BThe origin of language is a plicated question.CWords did not haven written form, at first.DWords were invented to represent meanings.42The power of words lies in . Athe fact that it can associate the things in the world with the ideas in our minds.Bthe fact that once word is connected with anotherCthe fact that it can associate one person with anotherDthe fact that it can recall to us the events of our past43The following statements are true EXCEPT that . Athe more we read and learn, the larger our vocabulary will be Bthe longer we live, the number of words that mean something to us increasesCwords can be used to represent various meaningsDliterary style is usually very charming44What does this passage primarily concern? AThe Meaning of Words.BThe Characteristics of Words.CThe Origin of Words.DThe Power of Words.BHow many people have I met who have told me about the book that they have been planning to write but have never yet found the time? Far too many.This is Life, all right, but we do treat it like a rehearsal (排演) and, unhappily, we do miss so many of its best moments.We take jobs to stay alive and provide homes for our families, always making ourselves believe that this style of life is merely a temporary state of affairs along the road to what we really want to do. Then, at 60 or 65, we are suddenly presented with a clock and several grandchildren and we look back and realize that all those years waiting for Real Life to e along were in fact real life. In America they have a saying much laughed at by the English：“Have a nice day!” They speak slowly and seriously in their shops, hotels and sandwich bars. I think it is a wonderful phrase, reminding us, in effect, to enjoy the moment: to value this very day.How often do we say to ourselves, Ill take up horse-riding (or golf, or sailing) as soon as I get a higher position, only to do none of those things when I do get the higher position. When I first became a reporter, I knew a man who gave up a very well paid respectable job at the Daily Telegraph to go and edit a small weekly newspaper. At the time I was astonished by what appeared to me to be his pletely abnormal (反常的) mental state. How could anyone turn his back on Fleet Street in central London for a small local area？I wanted to know.Now I am a little older and possibly wiser, I see the sense in it. In Fleet Street the man was under continual pressure. He lived in an unattractive London suburb and he spent much of his life sitting on Southern Region trains.45The first paragraph of the passage tells us that . Awe always try to find some time to write a book Bwe always make plans but seldom fulfill them Cwe always enjoy many of lifes best moments Dwe always do what we really want to do46The underlined phrase turn his back on (paragraph 6) most probably means . Aleave for Breturn to Cgive up Drely on47The man ( paragraph 6) left his first job partly because he was . Ain an abnormal state Bunder too much pressure Cnot well paid Dnot respected48What is probably the best title for the passage? AProvide Homes For Our Family BTake Up Horse-riding CValue This Very Day DStay AliveC Editors notes: AWL is well known for its dictionaries and English language teaching materials. Some readers have written in to ask us for the latest information on high quality books on English, so here we introduce two texts that aim to improve spoken English fluency.Lets speak (Beginner)By Bev Dusuya, Naoko Ozeki and Kevin BergmanISBN: 96xx359XSpeak Up(Pre-Intermediate)By Bev Kusuya, Nako ZekiISBN: 0583338050“Teach the students about your culture and help them talk about their own.” How often are these worthy goals kept from being achieved by the limitations of your beginner level learners? Students at all levels want to talk about culture.Topics include food, shopping, sports, fashion, the roles of men and women, health, music, and many more.These are all chosen from surveys of over 15,000 students about their own interests in cross-cultural munication.“Lets Speak” and “Speak Up” share a special but excellent way that allows all students to take part in. The series has questions which start thinking and then help collect opinions about personal topics. Conversation practice is provided by ready to use (现成的)models of basic exchanges on the topic. Also, the cultural information presented in the series es in the form of interesting, relevant（相关的）facts and ideas from other countries through listening tasks and Culture Quiz exercises.Team activities in books provide lively problem solving games to enable sharing and parison of cultural values.“Lets Speak” is fit for entry level students of all ages. “Speak Up” provides for the needs of higher level beginners, offering the same careful listening and speaking help, but with slightly more open ended discussion.

The World health Organization (WHO) observes that the introduction of air conditioning and energy conservation (保护) measures have been acpanied by growing problems of indoor air quality. Some pollutants arise from insulation (隔音) products, some from moving cars, and others from modern housing materials. As many Europeans spend up to 90% of their lives in buildings, the health effects of the indoor climate are very important.Some construction materials, including fiberboard, insulation foams and certain glues for man-made wood floor boards, for example, give out organic products such as formaldehyde (甲醛). Heat and humidity increase the release of formaldehyde and the gas seriously harms the eyes. Paint, lacquer, etc. can also release dangerous gas into indoor air.Construction materials can cause serious damage, especially when they contain asbestos（石棉）. Asbestos is naturally present in rock formations worldwide. It belongs to a family of mineral substances made up of solid, non-bustible（非易燃品） fiber. These properties make asbestos a highly sought-after construction material. As early as 1931, however, public health officers in the United Kingdom revealed the connection between breathing in asbestos dust and such diseases as lung cancer.The land on which a building is sited may also contribute to pollution. Some kinds of granite or similar rocks contain traces of radium. As it breaks down, this naturally radioactive element produces some kind of radioactive gas that goes through tiny cracks in walls, floors and building materials, and makes its way into the building and the rooms. The better the homes are insulated, the more is the dangerous gas in indoor air. The main effect of this dangerous gas on health is to increase the risk of lung cancer.53What is the main idea of the passage?ASome building materials pollute indoor air.BSome factors cause indoor air pollution.CAsbestos can cause lung cancer.DThe land on which houses are built contributes to indoor pollution.54Why are Europeans particularly concerned with building materials?ALots of building materials there are radioactive.BThey stay home up to 90% of their lives.CThey have a high rate of lung cancer.DThey spend most of their time indoors.55Why is asbestos a sought-after building material?AIt is a kind of insulation foam.BAsbestos will not give out dangerous gas.CThis material is not easy to catch fire.DIt is rarely present in rock formations.56Why should we be careful about the land on which a building is to be sited?ATo determine whether the land is firm enough for a building to be sited on.BTo make sure that the land contains no radioactive material.CTo make certain that the land releases no formaldehyde or other gases.DTo check whether it contains any bustible materials.E The most exciting kind of education is also the most personal. Nothing can exceed (超越) the joy of discovering for yourself something that is important to you! It may be an idea or a bit of information you e across accidentallyor a sudden insight, fitting together pieces of information or working through a problem. Such personal encounters are the “payoff” in education. A teacher may direct you to learning and even encourage you in itbut no teacher can make the excitement or the joy happen. Thats up to you.A research paper, assigned in a course and perhaps checked at various stages by an instructor, leads you beyond classrooms, beyond the texts for classes and into a process where the joy of discovery and learning can e to you many times. Preparing the research paper is an active and individual process, and ideal learning process. It provides a structure within which you can make exciting discoveries, of knowledge and of self, that are basic to education. But the research paper also gives you a chance to individualize a school assignment, to suit a piece of work to your own interests and abilities, to show others what you can do. Writing a research paper is more than just a classroom exercise. It is an experience in searching out, understanding and synthesizing（综合）, which forms the basis of many skills applicable（可利用的） to both academic and nonacademic tasks. It is, in the fullest sense, a discovering of an education. So, to produce a good research paper is both a useful and a thoroughly satisfying experience!To some, the thought of having to write an assigned number of pages, often more than ever produced before, is upsetting. To others, the very idea of having to work independently is threatening. But there is no need to approach paper assignment with anxiety, and nobody should view the research paper as an obstacle to overe. Instead, consider it a goal to acplish, a goal within reach if you use the help this book can give you.57According to the writer, personal discoveries .Awill give one encouragement and directionBare helpful in finding the right informationCare the most valuable part of ones personal educationDwill help one to successfully plete school assignments58It can be inferred from the passage that writing a research paper gives one chances .Ato fully develop ones personal abilitiesBto use the skills learnt in the classroomCto prove that one is a productive writerDto demonstrate how well one can acplish school assignment59The writer argues in the passage that .Aone should explore new areas in researchBone should trust ones own ability to meet course requirementsCone should consider research paper writing a pleasure, not a burdenDone should use all ones knowledge and skills when doing research60What will probably follow this passage?AHow to write a research paper.BThe importance of research in education.CHow to make new discoveries for oneself.DThe skill of putting pieces of information together.第二节：根据对话内容，从对话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。A: Some of our classmates are going to Japan for the summer vacation.
