If you can, you are unusual. Suppose what your life was like during the first few months. Im sure that it took your most time to eat，sleep and cry. As you grew older you slept less. Your parents would spend more time playing with you and talking to you. You watched and listened. You got to know that people make some sounds to go with some things.Then you began to cry and to make sounds you heard. And little by little you could make right sound for one thing.Then you got to understand the secret of the language. It is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound could be as good as another. But it is not so good as a word if everybody doesnt agree on its meaning. Only when a group of people make and use the same set of sounds of things they can understand each other. Their own language comes into being.After you knew the “secret” you learned words. Some of the words meant things such as cars, books, birds and stores. Some of the words meant movements such as come, fly and swim. And other words express things such as “I would like to make friends with you.” This is language that people can communicate by the way of language. That is to say, languages mean communication.（1） can remember the day when we spoke out first word.A . Few of usB . Many peopleC . Most peopleD .

Is it the Harry Potter series or Secret Garden? According to the Guinness World Records, the Xinhua Dictionary, published by the Commercial Press in China, is the worlds most popular dictionary and the best-selling book.In 1950, Chinese language experts(专家) and scholars, Wei Jiangong and Ye Shengtao, started to edit(编辑) the Xinhua Dictionary. There was a lot of discussion, research and paper work. Some hand scripts (稿件) were checked again and again like compositions, Peoples Daily reported. Many peoples hard work and interesting stories went into making the dictionary.In 1953, the first Xinhua Dictionary was published. Today, 567 million copies of the dictionary have been sold worldwideHowever, revisions (修订) to the dictionary continue to be made. According to Yu Guilin from Commercial Press, editors(编辑) usually summarize (总结) the meaning of words again while revising. If the example sentences are out of date, editors need to have experiences and make new examples. “To give a correct explanation of the word 焗油 (deep condition) , one editor went to a barber shop (理发店) to experience it for himself,” Yu told the Beijing Times. So far, the Xinhua Dictionary has been revised 11 times.To keep up with the times, some popular and widely used internet words are also added to the dictionary. For example, in the 11th edition, the phrases “晒工资 (show off salary)” and “晒照片 (show off pictures)” were included.All these efforts create the “National Dictionary” of China.

He wanted us to be active in class, so ask us some question, but no one answered, Let me tell you a story first, he said. When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a cardboard folded in half, wrote their names in bold(黑体) with the most eyecatching(引人注目的) color and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker need the answer from the student, he could see it and call a listeners name directly. I couldnt understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. In fact, l really saw a few students got great chances because of that.After listening the story, l understand that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card.（1）Why did the writer lower his head? （2）Did Mr. Black want the student to be active in his class? （3）How did the speaker get to know the students names? （4）When might the speaker give you more chances according to the passage? （5）What did the writer understand after listening to the story? 三、 选词填空。 (共2题；共15分)19. （5分）请根据句意从方框中选择合适的动词, 并用其适当时态填空，使句子通顺。（1）Tell the students to go to the playground to have a rest, please.

However, the same body language may mean different things in different countries. (A)sometimes, thats, understand, correctly, why, dont, each other, people. Pointing to one part of the body can mean differently in different cultures. For example, in the USA people point to their heads when they think someone is clever. However, in Europe it means “He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head”. In our Chinese culture, nodding our head up and down means “yes” and shaking our head from side to side means “no”. However, in parts of India, Greece and Turkey, it means just the opposite. In England or the USA, when you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger, it means “Youre all right or everything is OK”. However, if we do this in France or Belgium, it means “Youre worth zero”. In Greece or Turkey, we should not make this gesture. Or we are thought to be very rude.The meaning of gestures can also change over time. In the 1960s, the “V” sign meant “peace”. However, during World War , it meant “victory”.(B)Though the meaning of body language is different, there are some expressions having the same meaning throughout the world, such as smiling and crying.（1）将文中(A)处划线部分的单词连词成句。_（2）In England, if people point to their heads it means they think someone is _. （3）In India, if one nods his head up and down, it means he _. （4）What did the “V” sign mean during World War ?_（5）将文中(B)处划线部分的句子译成汉语。_五、 语法填空。 (共8题；共21分)22. （1分）Pollution is_to our health.
