Many English words we know now had different meanings a long time ago. One example is the word nice. Around the year 1300, nice was first used in English to mean “stupid”. Two hundred years later, nice began to carry a “better” meaning. If people said a book was written nicely, they meant the book was written “clearly” or “carefully”，not “stupidly”. After 1800, nice began to take its meaning like “kind” or “friendly”. Since then，people have thought of nice as a word with good meanings. A good change of a words meaning like this example of nice is called AMELIORATION. Though we dont use nice to mean “stupid” any more, it is fun to know how much a words meaning can change from its start! For more examples of AMELIORATION，see next page. 37. 1300 years ago, a “nice person” was believed to be _. A. careful B. friendly C. stupid D. clever 38. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A.

A. can change from its start B. changes from bad to good C. changes from good to bad D. remains the same over a long time 40. Which of the following is most likely to appear on the next page? A. The word terrific used to mean “terrible”, but now it means “excellent”. B. The word silly used to mean “happy”, but now it means “stupid”. C. You may wonder why a words meaning changes over time. 3 D. Besides AMELl0RATION, a words meaning may change in other ways. 第卷 (共 50 分) 第四部分：词汇运用 (共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 1 0 分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从方框中选出能填入文中空白处的最合适的单词，并将该单词的标号 (A、B、C、D、E) 填写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。 In our life, we meet quite a lot of people: some just pass by while others can 41 our lives.

Then a huge tiger jumped out suddenly. It caught Kamals leg between its teeth, but I managed to pull Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly ran away to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was
