small, dusty rooms. yet etymologists actually have a uniquely interesting job. they are in many ways just like archaeologists (考古学家) digging up the physical history of people and events. the special aspect of etymology is that it digs up history, so to speak, through the words and phrases that are left behind.the english language, in particular, is a great field to explore history through words. as a language, english has an extraordinary number of words. this is partly due to its ability to adapt foreign words so readily. for example, “english” words such as kindergarten (from german), croissant (from french), and cheetah (from hindi) have become part of the language with little or no change from their original sounds and spellings. so english-language etymologists have a vast world of words to explore.another enjoyable thing about etymology for most word experts is solving word mysteries (谜). no, etymologists do not go around solving murders, like the great detective sherlock holmes. what these word experts solve are mysterious origins of some of our most common words.one of the biggest questions english language experts have pursued is how english came to have the phrase ok. though it is one of the most commonly used expressions, its exact beginning is a puzzle even to this day. even its spelling is not entirely consistent- unless you spell it okay, it is hard even to call it a word.etymologists have been able to narrow oks origin down to a likely, although not certain, source (来源). it became widely used around the time of martin van burens run for president in 1840. his nickname was old kinderhook. what troubles word experts about this explanation is that the phrase appeared in some newspapers before van buren became well known. it is likely that van buren could be called its primary source. etymologists will doubtlessly keep searching for the original source. however, it is clear that oks popularity and reputation have topped those of the american president to whom it has been most clearly linked.21.the author mentions the words like “croissant” in paragraph 2 to show _.a. words have changed a lot in the two languagesb. what english-language etymologists are exploring nowc. english has absorbed many words from other foreign languagesd. the english vocabulary is difficult to the non-english-speaking people22. the underlined word “pursued” in paragraph 4 means _.a. looked uponb. dug upc. put ind. set down23. we can learn from the passage that etymologists _.a. discover the possible origin of wordsb. help detectives to solve mysterious murdersc. write interesting stories for some newspapersd. explore the english language as well as the recent eventsbyou might notice something new in the next few years as you watch disney programs: starting in 2017, there wont be any candy, sugary cereal or fast-food commercials (广告) aimed at kids. the walt disney company has become the first major media company to ban ads for junk food on its tv channels, radio stations and websites. it hopes this will stop kids from making poor food choices. first lady michelle obama called it a “game changer” that is sure to send a message to the rest of the childrens entertainment industry. “just a few years ago, if you had told me or any other mom or dad in america that our kids wouldnt see a single ad for junk food while they watched their favorite cartoons on a major tv network, we wouldnt have believed you, ” said the first lady, who heads a campaign to help stop child obesity (肥胖). the ban would apply to disney-owned abc stations as well as radio disney and disney-owned websites aimed at families with young children. in addition, disney plans to make changes to its kids menus at theme parks and resorts (度假胜地). fast-food options will be replaced with healthier choices, such as smoothies (果汁), apples, vegetables and yogurt. in addition to candy bars and fast-food meals, other foods that dont meet disneys nutritional standards will be banned from the companys kid-targeted media. any cereal with 10 grams or more of sugar per serving will be off the air. there will be no ads for full meals of more than 600 calories. juices with high levels of sugar and foods with too much salt will also be pulled. leslie goodman, disneys senior vice-president of corporate citizenship, said a company that wants to advertise will need to show that it offers a range of healthy options. disney isnt the only one pushing away unhealthy foods. last week, new york city mayor michael bloomberg suggested a ban on drinks over 16 ounces sold in movie theaters, restaurants and convenience stores in the big apple. he says large, sugary drinks are partly to blame for obesity. 24.what will the walt disney company do from 2017? a. produce more and better cartoons for young kids. b. help kids develop healthy lifestyle in the program.c. stop broadcasting advertisements for junk food on tv.d. provide healthier food for kids while they are watching programs. 25what michelle obama said suggests that while watching cartoons, _. a. kids didnt believe what the commercials saidb. kids enjoy eating candy, sugary cereal or junk foodc. kids find pleasure in watching fast-food commercials d. kids were to see a lot of fast-food commercials on tv26.according to michael bloomberg, to fight child obesity, kids should _. a. watch fewer cartoons b. drink less sugary drinksc. not go to movie theaters d. take more physical exercise cwhen my son was 11 years old, he got a small job helping out with a traveling carnival in our town. he didnt come home at lunch time, phoning instead to tell me he was fine and had found a few days work helping out at an exhibit. he turned up for supper as usual however after he finished work. i asked him how he had managed at lunch and he told me he had made some new friends at the carnival, some young men who were twin brothers, and their mom and dad. they had paid him a few dollars and invited him for lunch in return for helping them set up their exhibit and wanted him to return the next day to help with other chores (杂务). i was glad he had found new friends but a little worried about the type of people who might be traveling in a carnival. oh, mom, these are just normal everyday people like anyone else. they just work at a carnival instead of in a store or something. come down tomorrow and meet them yourself, he said. so the next day i went to the carnival and to the exhibit he had directed me to. the twin brothers turned out to be siamese (连体的) twins, joined at the chest. he hadnt thought this fact was noteworthy enough to mention. when i brought it to him, he said, yes, i noticed that too. do you know that their mom has to make all their clothes because its so difficult to find anything to fit them? theyre also really good cooks. today, joe, the one on the right, made me spaghetti for lunch. what others see first in a person is not what a child considers important. where i saw siamese twins, he saw people having difficulty buying clothes that fit, and young men who were good cooks. it was a lesson i have thought about many times over the years.27.from the first paragraph we know that _.a. the authors son could live on his job at the exhibit b. the authors son disliked meeting his parents at homec. the authors son usually made his appearance at supperd.the authors son was good at communicating with others28.the twin brothers and their parents wanted the authors son to return the next day mostly because _.a .they were content with his workb. they needed a worker to do the choresc. they wanted to treat him to lunchd. they wanted him to help the twins with homework29.in the boys eyes, the siamese twins were _.a. people who had no suitable clothes to wearb. good cooks with strange appearancec. more friendly and kinder than normal peopled. just normal people30.which proverb may the author agree with according to the last paragraph?a. dont judge a person by his looks. b. its never too late to learn.c. love me, love my dog.d. it is a matter of opinion.
