Take pictures and videos, buy postcards and souvenirs, and write a journal. Its always so nice to look back on your time travelling at a later date to refresh your memory and it can also be so much fun to make memories by taking pictures and writing along the way.（1）What does the underlined word “beforehand” mean?A .

However, it didnt stay that way. Today, English is spoken all over the world.English is a colorful and diverse (多样的) language that long has picked up words from many other languages. Here are five words that show the English languages interesting history.EnglishEnglish began in the language spoken by the early Germanic people in the fifth century AD. It is from them that the word “English” comes. First it is the Latin word Angli which means the people of Angul, where the Germanic people were from.BeefAlthough roast beef is seen as a traditional English dish, the word “beef” was introduced from the French boeuf during the Middle Ages. It was one of a group of words, including pork and mutton, that were taken from the speech of the French who moved in Britain following the Norman Conquest (诺曼底登陆) of 1066. However, the farmers who kept these living things continued to call them by their old English names: cow, pig and sheep. This difference passes on till today.DictionaryDictionary is a borrowing from Latin dictornarius liber, “book of words”. It first appeared in English in the 6th century, along with a huge number of other words from Latin and Greek. The first English dictionary was written by Robert Cawdrey in 1604. Cawdrey focused only on the difficult words whose meanings would have caused problems for those not educated in Latin and Greek.TeaTea was brought into Britain early in the 17th century, becoming very popular by the 1650s. By the 18th century it had become a symbol（标志） of fashionable society and a best-selling of the coffee house culture.The word tea rises from the Chinese word cha. A love of tea is so ingrained (根深蒂固的) in British life that the expression “cup of tea” has come to stand for anything viewed positively. The saying “Its not my cup of tea.” means: I dont like it.EmojiEmoji began developing in Japan in the 1990s for use by teenagers: the word “emoji” comes from the Japanese e “picture” + moji “letter”. Its successful acceptance in English has been helped by its similarity to words with the e-prefix (前缀) like e-mail. The Unicode Consortiums (统一码 联盟的) official lists emojis and their meanings, but users keep finding creative new ways to employ them. Emojis are just another example of the development and diversity of English.（1）What language is the word “beef ” from? （2）Who wrote the first English dictionary? （3）What does “its not my cup of tea” mean? （4）Why is the word “emoji ” successfully accepted in English? （5）What makes English a colorful and diverse language? 六、 补全对话 (共1题；共5分)18. （5分）（2015贵州安顺）补全对话：根据对话内容，从方框中选择适当的选项补全对话，其中有两项为多余选项。A.
