It is a language that embraces new words that may be cool today bill gone tomorrow. There are, however, some words and phrases that have stood the test of time. OK. which has become the international standard for expressing agreement, is a good example. But why is this rather odd expression so popular and so useful when we could use any number of other words to say the same thing?- Writing in The Times, Alien Metcalf, author of OK: .The Improbable Story of Americas Greatest Word, writes: What OK provided that the others did not was neutrality（中性), a way to express agreement without having to offer an opinion. For example, if someone asks you Shall we go for a walk after lunch? you can simply respond OK. There you go no extra opinions. Just straight, plain old OK. So just where did this rather curious expression come from? The origins of OK have been widely disputed. Some people have guessed that OK was the name of a person or a product. Speakers of many different languages have had their say on this question, keen to claim the term as their own. Writing an article for Londons Metro newspaper, Metcalf states; 0 arid K are present in every language of the world, as expressions that can be abbreviated（缩写) OK. For example; French - o qu- oui, yes indeed; German - Ohne Korrektur, without correction needed; and in Latin or Greek, Olla kalla. all good. But, does it sound a little too informal with this popular little expression? Apparently not. In a speech where he stated that his election would not be a radical (激进的) result to all problems. President Obama said: ? even though I am president， AI-Qaida is still a threat and that we cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everythings going to be OK, he said. So, there you go, straight from the president. Its OK to say OK, and thanks to the expressions widespread usage across the world, you can be understood anywhere.41. What is the article mainly about? A. The origin of OK. B. Popularity of OK across the world. C. A debate over the usage of OK. D. The development of the English language.42. According to Alien Metcalf, OK differs from other terms to express agreement in that .A. it is easiest to say . B. it is the most commonly usedC. it doesnt involve emotion D. it is the most informal and casual43.The underlined word disputed in Paragraph 6 probably means _,A. understood B. agreed C. believed D. argued44.Using the example of Obama, the author intends to show that _ _ . A. OK is widely used even on formal occasions B. Obama likes to use OK when he speaks C. there is still a long way to go to defeat AI-Qaida D. the use of OK is encouraged in formal speech and in documentsB Junk is everywhere, even in space. But getting rid of space junk is much harder than simply cleaning your bedroom. Space junk travels at 8 kilometers a second, according to an article in the Guardian. Catching it is a bit of a challenge. Luckily, scientists at the Swiss space center have a new cleaning plan. Theyare about to send a cleaner satellite into space within the next five year?. It will clean up space junk, according to a report in the Guardian. Named Clean Space One, the Swiss satellite finds its target and moves close to it. When it reaches its target, it will catch the junk with a gripping claw (抓手). This is not going to be an easy task because both the satellite and the junk are traveling so fast. Once Clean Space One has caught the junk, all it has to do to get rid of it is to fly back to Earth. This is because the junk will bum up when traveling through the atmosphere. The satellite itself will burn up a, the same time. Ever since people started to send objects into space more than 50 years ago, there has been junk in space. Junk on Earth like food wrappers （包装纸）or waste paper is also a problem. But space junk is mainly made up of exploded rockets and broken satellites. If no one cleans them away, they just keep traveling around Earth. So far, NASA has found 16.000 pieces of junk that are larger than 10cm in diameter（直径）and more than 500,000 pieces measuring between 1cm and 10cm. You can imagine how many even smaller ones there are in space. Space junk is dangerous for spacecraft (飞船) and the International Space Station. Even a very small piece could seriously damageor even destroya satellite or space-craft if it collided (碰撞) with the junk. The International Space Station has to regularly change its orbit to avoid space junk, Space junk might also be a danger to humans. During the last four months, three very large spacecraft have fallen to Earth. Fortunately, no one was hurt because the junk landed in the ocean.45. According to the article, space junk _.A. travels at the same speed as satellitesB. could be cleared away within five yearsC. travels at 8 kilometers per hourD. will cause a lot of trouble to space stations46. What will happen to the space junk if it is not cleaned up?A. It will explode in a few years.B. It will drift away from Earth eventually.C. It will keep traveling around Earth.D. It will gather and become a large mass.47. Which of the following is TRUE about a cleaner satellite? A. The junk is dealt with after it reaches Earth. B. Catching space junk is difficult for a satellite. C. The satellite can catch several pieces of junk at once.D. The satellite goes back to space after it has finished its task.48. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The history of space junk dates back 50 years.B. Space stations travel in the same orbit as the junk.C. Space junk is harmless to people on Earth.D. Its impossible to stop space junk from colliding with spacecrafts.CBecausephones have caused many problems, many headteachers have ordered that pupils keep their phones switched off at school. Others have told pupils to leave them at home. However, Dr. Elizabeth Hartnell-Young at University of Nottingham believes it is time that phone bans were reassessed, because mobile phones can be a powerful learning aid, they said.At the start of the study, even pupils were often surprised at the thought that mobile phones could be used for learning, Dr. Hartnell-Young said. After their hands-on experience, almost all pupils said they had enjoyed the project and felt more motivated. Some teachers also had to reassess their views. Using this technology gives them more freedom to express themselves without needing to be constantly supervised (管理). one said.Other teachers found that pupils who lacked confidence gained most from the project. However, they recognized that greater use of mobile phones in schools could prove problematical. Increased temptation (诱惑) to steal phones was one worry. I thought, well, four of these smartphones are going to end up on e-BAY tomorrow, one teacher said. A few teachers remained concerned that phones could prove a distraction (分心) for some pupils. Allowing pupils to access school emails via mobiles would also bring risks it pass-words were shared, they said.Dr. Hartnell-Young says that the teachers worries are understandable. While the eventual aim should be to lift blanket bans on phones we do not recommend immediate, whole-school change, she said, Instead we believe that teachers, students and the wider community should work together to develop policies that will enable this powerful new learning tool to be used safely. We hope that, in future, mobile phone use will be as natural as using any other technology in school. 49. Which of the following is probably closest in meaning to the underlined word problematical in Paragraph 3?A. Illegal. B. Troublesome. C. Reasonable. D. Valuable.50. Some teachers support the ban because they think greater use of mobile phones will bring some worries EXCEPT _.A. it will cause pupils not to concentrate on1 their studyB. some pupils will steal phones and sell it onlineC. it will cause pupils toack confidenceD. sharing the passwords will bring some risks to the school51. Dr. Hartnell-Young probably thinks _.A. schools should make immediate changes to lift the banB. it is not necessary for teachers to worry about the larger use of mobile phones in schoolC. it wont be natural for teachers to use phones in schoolD. work should be done together to ensure mobile phones come into class as a teaching aid52. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. Mobile Phones as a Teaching Aid B. Problems Caused by Mobile PhonesC. The Future Mobile Phone in School D. The Mobile Phone BanDItalians like to say that when it comes to alcohol, they have a sipping (小酌) culture rather than a drinking culture. That means that while Italians may enjoy a glass of wine or beer, they dont usually get very drunk.Thats not true any more. The new study by the Italian National Health Institute found that 63 percent of Italians under age 18 get drunk on the weekends. Now, the city of Milan has created a law that will stop anyone under 16 from buying alcohol. Anyone who sells or gives alcohol to a person under 16 can be fined up to $ 700.Youpg people who feel that the new law is unfair should go to the US for some perspective (观点) The US has the highest drinking age in the world; Its illegal for anyone under 21 to buy alcohol, and stores or restaurants that are caught selling alcohol to people under the legal age risk losing their licenses,Many young Americans complain that the drinking laws are unfair; They are allowed to vote in elections and join the army at age 18, so why wait another three years just to buy a bottle of beer?These young people have found help in an unusual place. Last year, more. than 100 presidents of US universities joined together to ask lawmakers to consider changing the drinking age. They argued that the law doesnt stop underage college kids from getting drunk it just makes them want to drink more.For now, the law seems unlikely to change. But US teenagers who want alcohol can go north 10 Canada, where the drinking age is 18-19, or south to Mexico where the legal age is 18. Throughout much of Asia, Africa and Europe, the legal drinking age ranges 16-18.In plenty of places though, the official drinking age is ignored, and even young children can buy alcohol if they have the money to pay for it. No matter how old you are, you should always be responsible with alcohol. Teenagers in Milan are now learning that their reckless (不顾后果的) drinking behavior may come at a high price. 53. The new law by the city of Milan _. A. is welcomed by Italian young people B. aims to keep Italys sipping culture alive C. forbids selling alcohol to people under 16 D. has reduced the number of underage youths getting drunk54. Which of the following places has the lowest drinking age?A. New York B. Milan C. Mexico D. Canada55. Many US university presidents want lawmakers to consider changing the drinking age because _.A. theyve received complaints from many young Americans about the unfairness of the lawsB. hey agree that people old enough to vole and join the army should be allowed to drink .C. they dont want to see US teenagers going to neighboring countries for a drinkD. they believe the law is pushing underage youths toward alcohol instead of stopping them56. What can we infer from the passage? A, In many places T shop owners dont mind selling alcohol to underage customers. B. The author thinks that US teenagers should go to Canada or Mexico to drink. C. Restaurants in the US dont sell alcohol to people under 21 for fear of a $ 700 fine. D. Teens in Milan have to pay a lot of money for their reckless drinking behavior.E All right thenJust one more piece. Wor
