up new words, and we are often able to know where most come from.sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. did you ever think about why hamburgers are called “hamburgers”, especially when they are not made with ham(火腿)? about a hundred years ago, some men went to america from europe. they came from a big city in germany called hamburg. they didnt speak good english, but they ate good food. when some americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the germans what they were. the germans didnt understand the question and answered, “we come from hamburg.” one of these americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. he cooked some round pieces of bread with beef in them and started selling them. such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. today, “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. this reason, for most english words, can be found in any large english dictionary.21. english is spoken by many people around the world every day, but english is _.a. as old as chinese b. older than chinese c. younger than chinese d. older than german22. hamburg is _.a. a kind of food b. a round piece of beef c. the name of a country d. a city in germany23. according to the story, the word “hamburger” comes from _.a.english speakers because theyre always making up new wordsb.the round piece of beef which those people from hamburg atec.english because germans dont speak good englishd.a large english dictionary24. which of the following is true?a.few americans like hamburgers.b. hamburgers are made with ham.c.hamburgers were first sold a century ago.d.hamburgers were some people.b five years ago, when i taught art at a school in seattle, i used tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. i put a small set of tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:”make something out of the tinkertoys. you have 45 minutes today and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.” a few students hesitated to start. they waited to see what the rest of the class would do. several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. another group built something out of their own imaginations. once i had a boy who worked experimentally with tinkertoys in his free time. his constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. i was delighted at the presence of such a student. here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. his presence meant that i had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect (感染) other students. encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. i ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. without fail one would declare, “but im just not creative.” “do you dream at night when youre asleep?” “oh, sure.” “so tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” the student would tell something wildly imaginative. flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “thats pretty creative. who does that for you?” “nobody. i do it.” “really at night, when youre asleep?” “sure.” “try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”25. the teacher used tinkertoys in class in order to _?a. know more about the studentsb. make the lessons more excitingc. raise the students interest in artd. teach the students about toy design26. what do we know about the boy mentioned in paragraph 3?a. he liked to help his teacher.b. he preferred to study alone.c. he was active in class.d. he was imaginative.27. what does the underlined word “downside” in paragraph 4 probably mean?a. mistake. b. drawback.c. difficulty.d. burden.cit seems that school children all over the world complain (抱怨) about their school food. what do students of your age eat for lunch at school in other countries?japan high schools have dining rooms. they serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips. other children bring food from home, such as cold rice balls, meat or fish,

children trying to catch butterflies one hot august afternoon, i was reminded of an incident in my own childhoodwhen i was a boy of 12 in south carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.we lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. there isnt a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird.i decided that i would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician. i finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. at first, in its fright at being captured, the bird fluttered about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. i felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.i had left the cage out on our back porch, and on the second day of the birds captivity my new pets mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. the baby bird ate everything she brought to it. i was pleased to see this. certainly the mother knew better than i how to feed her baby.the following morning when i went to see how my captive(被俘虏的） was doing, i discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. i was shocked! what had happened! i had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so i thought.arthur wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “a mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. she thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.”never since then have i caught any living creature and put it in a cage. all living creatures have a right to live free.32.why did the writer catch a mockingbird when he was a boy of 12? a he wanted it to sing for him bhe liked its beautiful feather. che had just got a new cage. dhe

appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts? 36 . but it doesnt happen by accident. it starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process. 37 some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. others are concerned about using gardening methods that
