it is always changing and developing. it at least experienced its important changes in vocabulary for four. these changes are rapid in primitive（原始的）societies, but slow in advanced(高级的) ones, because the invention of printing and the spread of education have fixed（使固定）a traditional usage. the only important change that english has experienced since the start of 16th century is a large increase in its vocabulary. it is interesting to trace(追溯) the different ways in which sandwich and television were made. sandwich, which is now no longer an entirely english word, but also international, comes from the earl of sandwich(died in1792),who invented the particular form of quick meal so that he could go on gambling (赌博)all through the night without stopping for dinner. many names of things are in facts taken from the names of the first inventors, for example, the electrical terms walt and volt. television is one of many new scientific words which are invented from old greek and latin words. “tele” in greek, mean “far , while “vision” comes from the latin verb, meaning “to see”.never stop as it is, english is, actually, a big dyeing tank(大染缸). it every day absorbs exotic（外来的）words, expressions, idioms and even sentences from other language. as we may know some of these members: kung fu, litchi, maoism, mao-tai, tofu (from chinese). and interestingly, the gradually popular chinglish language “good good study day day up” and “long time no see”, which are considered quite wrong in grammar, are now melted into（融入）english formally as some of our young chinese wished. maybe one day, please dont be surprised, if the english will be turned into “ all-language language”.36.what does the first sentence mean? a. language never sits. b.a language is in a certain conditionc. language can stand on the feet.d. a language never remains unchanged.37. what do we learn about earl?a. he was a lazy man. b. he was an inventor.c. he liked gambling very much.d. both a and b.38.english has at least experienced its important changes in vocabulary for . a. three b. four c. five d. six39.why could the language develop rapidly in primitive societies?a. because there was no printing to fix the usage.b. because education hadnt spread.c. because the societies has stopped changing.d. because everyone could invent new vocabulary40. it can be inferred from the passage that .a. english has many advantages over other languages.b. some of the chinglishes are gradually accepted.c. all people across the world will speak english in the future.d. most english names of things come from the names of their first inventors. bwelcome to the 2012 london olympic games! archeryarchery has a 10,000 year history, when bows and arrows were first used for hunting and war.archery first appeared at the paris olympics of 1900. it was removed after 1908 and only returned to the olympics at munich(慕尼黑) in 1972.did you know?in the 14th century, archery was so important that as english law required every man, aged seven to 60, to practise it.badmintonthis sport was invented by british soldiers in india who called it poono, the same name as the town in which they lived.it was first played at the olympics in 1992 at barcelona. although the rules of the modern sport were developed in england, asian countries are now the best.did you know?the best balls are said to be made from the feathers of the left wing of goose.footballthere are two medal competitions for olympic football, one for mens teams and one for womens.football was first played at the 1908 olympic games and it has been played at every olympic games ever since, except for los angeles 1932.did you know?hungary has won three football gold medals-more than any other country.taekwondothis korean sports name means “the way of the hand and foot”. the players get points by hitting each other with these two parts of the body only. the players mustnt lie on the floor and no equipment can be used.taekwondo

beijing 2008.comc. guangzhou 2010.comd. london 2012.com cwithout proper planning, tourism(旅游业) can cause problems. for example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. if tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. they begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. they forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy(经济). it is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects(影响) them. tourism should help a country, keep the customs(风俗习惯) and beauty that attract tourists. tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.too much tourism can be a problem. if tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. this means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer.on the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. businesses can also lose money. it costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals(航空站), first- class roads, and other support facilities（配套设施）needed by tourist attractions. for example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. if this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.building a hotel is just a beginning. there must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers(下水道) to handle waste, and water. all of these support facilities cost money. if they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.46which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection（节选）？a. it is extremely important to develop tourism. b. building roads and hotels is essential.c. support facilities are highly necessary. d. planning is of great importance to tourism.47the underlined word “inhabitants” （in paragraph 1）

biography（自传）, she remembers with great fondness when her good friend, sean, whom she met in secondary school, became the first person to encourage her and help build the confidence that one day she would be a very good writer.“he was the first person with whom i really discussed my serious ambition（抱负）to be a writer. he was also the only person who thought i was bound to be a success at it, which meant much more to me than i ever told him at the time.”there are many setbacks rowling met in her writing, particularly fantasy stories. actually it wasnt until 1990 that she first got the idea about harry potter. as she recalls, it was on a long train journey from london to manchester when “the idea of harry potter simply fell into my head. i didnt have a pen with me, and i was too shy to ask anybody if i could borrow one. i think, now, that, this was probably a good thing, because i simply sat and thought, for four (delayed 延误的train) hours, and all the details appeared in my brain, and this thin, black-haired, bespectacled（戴眼镜的）boy who didnt know he was a wizard(奇才) became more and more real to me.”that same year, her mother passed away after a ten-year illness, which deeply affected her writing. she went on to marry and had a daughter, but separately from her husband shortly afterwards. during this time, rowling was diagnosed(诊断)with depression. unemployed, she completed her first novel in the cafes, where she could get her daughter to fall asleep. after being rejected by 12 publishing houses, the first harry potter novel was sold to a small british publishing house. now with seven books that have sold nearly 400 million copies in 64 languages, j. k. rowling is the highest earning novelist in history. and it all began with the confidence of a friend!51.what can be
