why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton? to find out, we have to go back to 1066, when the norman french invaded england and put a french king on the english throne(王位), which not only changed the government but also changed the language. french became the language of the upper classes of society. and it remained that way for 300 years. only these high society people could afford to eat meat. as a result, french words like porc(pork) and beouf(beef) came into the english language. however, poor english farmers raised the animals. so the english language retained the words pig and cow from the native anglo-saxon.the norman french added about 10,000 french words to the english language. seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.in french grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender(性别), so adjectives(形容词) 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 taken on 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!46. 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 french d. the king allowed french to be spoken47. which word can replace the word “retained” in paragraph 1 ? a. adopted. b. kept. c. introduced. d. deserted48. 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 origins. d. because english has great influences on the french language.49. french grammar is very different from english grammar in that _. a. no words have the same pronunciation b. all words have the same pronunciation c. english nouns have a male or female gender d. french nouns have different adjective forms50. what conclusion can we draw from the text? a. language is closely related to history and culture. b. french and english words have nothing in common. c. language is controlled by the upper classes of society. d. english combines french and the native anglo-saxon. c moving to a new city and state was difficult for me, especially in winter. little did i know that a colorado snowstorm would greet me after i had been in my new home for only a week.i just missed home. but more than the old house and the beach, i missed stacey, my best friend. and i missed our lovely tea. going to a sweet little tearoom, we had discovered a special treat for us. the place was a victorian dream, with delicate teacups and tablecloths with flower prints. the hat shelf near the front door swept us back to childhood. stacey and i became little girls, trying on different hats until we found the perfect one for our dress-up tea party. we would then choose a lovely table and order our tea. that was a precious time, filled with laughter between scones（煎饼） and sharing our lives between tiny cucumber sandwiches.springtime descended upon denver, and the sun lightened my heart. but i still fought loneliness almost every day. i decided to explore the denver area. while my husband went to the office, i took time to see what our new area had to offer.one day, i was walking along the street when suddenly the words tea leaves caught my eye. a tea room? here, in the land of loneliness and pain?i walked through the doors, and tears came to my eyes. it was a beautiful room, not victorian, but simple and lovely.i lifted my cup and made a silent toast. i toasted stacey, whom i missed, and i toasted the sweet little tearoom that lessened my pain.51. the authors hometown _.a. never snows b. is still warm in winter c. has a long history d. is in an area by the sea52. the underlined word treat in paragraph 2 probable means _.a. delicious food b. something pleasantc. service d. a kind of tea party53. we can know from paragraph 3 that the author _.a. didnt adapt to the new lifeb. felt comfortable in the new environment in springc. didnt feel lonely any more in springd. wanted to actively adapt to the new environment54. which of the following about tea leaves is true?a. it made the author recall her childhood. b. it looks silly and wonderful.c. cucumber sandwiches and scones are its specialties. d. it touched the author.55. we can infer from the text that the author would probably _.a. open her own teahouseb. ask the owner of the teahouse to decorate it like a homec. make new friends in denverd. go back to her hometown to visit stacey dalzheimers disease （痴呆症）affects millions of people around the world. american researchers say the disease will affect more than one hundred million people worldwide by the year twenty fifty. that would be four times the current number. researchers and doctors have been studying alzheimers patients for a century. yet the cause and cure for the mental sickness are still unknown. however, some researchers have made important steps towards understanding it. several early signs of the disease involve memory and thought processes. at first, patients have trouble remembering little things. later, they have trouble remembering more important things, such as the names of their children. there are also some physical tests that might show who is at risk of developing alzheimers disease. the tests look for proteins in brain and spinal cord fluid. the proteins appear to be found only in people with the disease. the protein tests correctly identify the presence of the disease in about ninety percent of patients. now, a much simpler physical test to predict alzheimers risk has been developed. researchers found that trouble with the sense of smell can be one of the first signs of alzheimers. using this information, they developed a test in which people were asked to identify twelve familiar smells. these smells included cinnamon, black pepper, chocolate, paint thinner, and smoke. the study continued for five years. during this period, the same people were asked to take several tests measuring their memory and thought abilities. fifty percent of those who could not identify at least four of the smells in the first test had trouble with their memory and thinking in the next five years. another study has shown a possible way to reduce a persons chances of developing alzheimers disease in old age. researchers in chicago found that people who use their brains more often are less likely to develop alzheimers disease. those who read a newspaper, or play chess or word games are about three times less likely to develop the condition. researchers say they still do not know what causes alzheimers disease. but they say these findings might help prevent the disease in the future. 56. whats the current number of alzheimers patients?
