Try to imagine what first few months of your life were like. I am sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grow older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more time to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened curiously. You began to know that people made certain sounds to go with certain things. Then you began to try making the sounds you heard. And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing. On that day you came to understand the secret of language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is no good as a word unless everybody agrees on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things can they understand each other. Then only then do these people have a LANGUAGE. After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things, such as BOOKS, CHAIRS and SHOES. Some words meant doing things, such as GO and SWIM. And other words describe things, such as GOOD and DIRTY. Soon you learned to put words together to express ones idea, such as I want to go out and play with my friends. This is language. By means of language people can communicate. So we say languages are means of communication.51. can remember the day when_. A. One; he spoke his first word B. No one; he spoke his first word C. Most people; they spoke their first words D. Some people; they spoke their first words52. When you were a little baby, you_.

The secret of language is that_. A. one sound might be as good as another B. people can understand each other C. a certain sound is for a certain thing D. there is a special sound for each person54. You could learn words_. A. before you knew what the language was B. after you knew what the language was C. if you knew the secret of the language D. when you were a baby55. The aim in using language is . A. to get everything one wants from others B. to say what one wants to know C. to share ideas, opinions, news, etc with one anotherD. to make oneself understood by othersDAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.56. The passage is mainly about _. A. color and its surprising effects. B. women being luckier than men C. danger caused by color blindness D. color blindness57. According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_. A. tell different shapes B. see in a weak light C. kill mosquitoes D. tell orange from yellow58. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women? A. Women are more careful. B. There are fewer color-blind women ks5u C. Women are fonder of driving than men. D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.59. Which of the statements about the color- blind is true? A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color. B. None of them can see deep red. C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green. D. All of them see everything in shades of green.60. We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _. A. red light B. yellow light C. blue light D. green light 第四部分: 写作（共三节，满分45分）第一节： 单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）根据下列各句句意及单词的首字母、汉语提示，写出所缺单词的正确形式，并将答案填写在答题卡号为61-70的相应位置。61.
