between one-third and two-thirds of all english words have french origins. some words such as “possible” and “avenue” are the same in french and english; only the pronunciations change. other words such as “ballet” keep their french pronunciations in both languages.in french grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender (性别), so adjectives take different forms for each. english has only one adjective that does this, and it came from french. the word “blond” describes someone with light-colored hair. “blond” is used for men, and “blonde” describes women. and they are also nouns.some french words that entered the english language have completely different meanings. the french phrase “a la mode” means “in style”. in english, the phrase means “with the ice cream”. someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!now, as you learn english, youre on your way to learning french!52. french was once popular among the upper classes of the uk because _. a. too many french moved to britain b. french brought animals with them c. the king and his officials spoke frenchd. the king allowed french to be spoken53. why does an english speaker find french easy to learn?a. because english and french share similar pronunciations b. because english grammar and french grammar are similar c. because a large number of english words have french originsd. because english has great influences on the french language54. what conclusion can we draw from the text?a. language is closely related to history and culture.b. french and english words have little in common.c. language is controlled by the upper classes of society.d. french combines english and the native anglo-saxon.bjenny was a bright-eyed, pretty five-year-old girl.one day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, jenny saw a plastic pearl(珍珠)necklace priced at $2.50. how she wanted that necklace, and when she asked her mother if she would buy it for her, her mother said, well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. ill tell you what. ill buy you the necklace, and when we get home we can make up a list of housework that you can do to pay for the necklace.and dont forget that for your birthday grandma just might give you a whole dollar bill, too. okay? jenny agreed, and her mother bought the pearl necklace for her.jenny worked on her chores very hard every day, and sure enough, her grandma gave her a brand-new dollar bill for her birthday. soon jenny had paid off thepearls. how jenny loved those pearls. she wore them everywhere to kindergarten, bed and when she went out with her mother to runerrands（差事）.the only time she didnt wear them was in the shower. her mother had told her that they would turn her neck green!jenny had a very loving daddy. when jenny went to bed, he would get up from his favorite chair every night and read jenny her favorite story.one night when he finished the story, he said, jenny, do you love me?oh yes, daddy, you know i love you, the little girl said.well, then, give me your pearls.oh! daddy, not my pearls! jenny said. but you can haverosy, my favorite doll. remember her? you gave her to me last year for my birthday. and you can have her tea partyoutfit, too. okay?oh no, darling, thats okay. her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. good night, little one.a week later, her father once again asked jenny after her story, do you love me?oh yes, daddy, you know i love you.well, then, give me your pearls.oh, daddy, not my pearls! but you can have ribbons, my toy horse. do you remember her? shes my favorite. her hair is so soft, and you can play with it and braid（编辫子）it and everything. you can have ribbons if you want her, daddy, the little girl said to her father.no, thats okay, her father said and brushed her cheek again with a kiss. god bless you, little one. sweet dreams.several days later, when jennys father came in to read her a story, jenny was sitting on her bed and her lip was trembling. here, daddy, she said, and held out her hand. she opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was inside. she let it slip into her fathers hand.with one hand her father held the plastic pearls and the other he pulled out of his pocket a blue velvet (天鹅绒) box. inside of the box were real, genuine, beautiful pearls. he had had them all along. he was waiting for jenny to give up the cheap stuff so he could give her the real thing.55. which statement is not correct?a. jenny loves her father very much.b. jennys pearl necklace can turn green when it is wet.c. jenny has other toys she loves very much besides the necklace.d. jenny didnt want to give up her necklace though she did so.56. the reason why little jenny wanted to give her father doll and toy horse is that _.a. they were lovelyb. she liked them very muchc. they were worth much mored. she loved her necklace too much57. what does the writer mainly want to tell us through the loving story?a. whatever you want, you need to earn it yourself. b. life is both disappointing and hopeful at the same time.c. your parents are always the people who would like to spoil you.d. only if you show your real deep love to others, will you get the same in return.ca man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.a good book may be among the best of friends. it is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. it is the most patient and cheerful of companions. it does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. it always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.men often discover their affinity(亲密) to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. there is an old proverb, love me, love my dog.” but there is more wisdom in this:” love me, love my book.” the book is a truer and higher bond of union. men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. they live in him together, and he in them.a good book is often the best urn（瓮）of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a mans life is, for the most part, the world of his thoughts. thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.books possess an essence of immortality. they are by far the most lasting products of human effort. temples and statues decay, but books survive. time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their authors minds, ages ago. what was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. the only effect of time have been to sift(筛) out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. we hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were, in a measure, actors with them in the scenes which they describe.the great and good do not die, even in this world. embalmed（加以防腐处理） in books, their spirits walk abroad. the book is a living voice. it is an intellect to which one still listens.58. whats the meaning of the underlined word “immortality”? a. difficult to findb
