unknown.all we assume is that some early men invented certain sounds,in one way or another,to express thoughts and feelings,actions and things,so that they could talk with each other.later they agreed upon certain signs,called letters,which could be put together to show those sounds,and which could be written down.those sounds,whether spoken or written in letters,are called words.the power of words,then,lies in their associations-the things they bring up to our minds.words become filled with meaning for us by experience;and the longer we live,the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past;and the more we read and learn,the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings.this clever use of words is what we call literary style.above all,the real poet is a master of words.he can express his meaning in words which sing like music,and which by their position and association can move men to tears.we should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use then correctly,or they will make our speech silly and common.21.we learn from the text that language might have begun with _ .aexpressions bactions csigns dsounds22.what is mainly discussed in paragraph 2?athe power of new words bthe importance of old wordscthe relation of human experience with wordsdthe gradual change and development of words23.in the last paragraph, what does the author suggest that we should do?ause words skillfully bmake musical speechesclearn poems by heart dassociate with listenersbcassandra feeley finds it hard to manage on her husbands income. so this year she did something more than a hobby(业余爱好)：she planted vegetables in her yard.for her first garden,ms. feeley has put in 15 tomato plants,and five rows of a variety of vegetables.the familys old farm house has become a chicken house,its residents arriving next month.last year, ms.rita gartin kept a small garden.this year she has made it much larger because,she said,“the cost of everything is going up and i was looking to lose a few pounds,too；so its a win-win situation all around.”they are among the growing number of americans who,driven by higher living costs and a falling economy(经济),have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time.others have increased the size of their existing gardens.seed companies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home.now many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months.in austin,tex.,some of the gardens have a three-year waiting list.george c.ball jr.,owner of a company ,said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40over last year ,double the average growth of the last five years.mr.ball argues that some of the reasons have been building for the last few years.the big one is the striking rise in the cost of food like bread and milk, together with the increases in the price of fruits and vegetables.food prices have increased because of higher oil prices.people are now driving less,taking fewer vacations, so there is more time to garden.24. what does the word”residents”in paragraph l probably refer to? a. chickens b. tomatoes c. gardens d. people25. by saying“a win-win situation all around”，ms. gartin means that_. a. she is happier and her garden bigger b. she may spend less and lose weight c. she is selling more and buying less d. she has grown more varieties of vegetables26. why is vegetable gardening becoming increasingly popular? a. more americans are doing it for fun. b. the price of oil is lower than before. c. theres a growing need for fruits. d. the cost of living is on the rise. 27. which of the following might be the best title for the text? a. family food planning b. banking on gardening c. a belt-tightening move d. gardening as a hobbycguatemala city （reuters） a fish that lives in mangrove swamps（红树沼泽）across the americas can live out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted（适应）to land millions of years ago, a new study shows. the magrove rivulus, a type of small killifish, lives in small pools of water in a certain type of empty nut or even old beer cans in the mangrove swamps of belize, the united states and brazil. when their living place dries up, they live on the land in logs（圆木），said scott taylor, a researcher at the brevard endangered lands program in florida. the fish, whose scientific name is rivulus marmoratus, can grow as large as three inches. they group together in logs and breathe air through their skin until they can find water again. the new scientific discovery came after a trip to belize. “we kicked over a log and the fish just came crowding out,” taylor told reuters in neighboring guatgemala by telephone. he said he will make his study on the fish known to the public in an american magazine early next year. in lab tests, taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating. some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. the walking catfish found in southeast asia can stay on land for hours at time, while lungfish found in australia, africa and south america can live out of water, but only in an inactive state. but no other known fish can be out of water as long as the mangrove rivulus and remain active, according to patricia wright, a biologist at canadas university of guelph. further studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time. “these animals live in conditions similar to those that existed millions of years ago, when animals began making the transition（过渡）from water onto land,” wright said.28. the mangrove rivulus is a type of fish that _. a. likes eating nuts b. prefers living in dry places c. is the longest living fish on earth d. can stay alive for two months out of water 29. who will write up a report on mangrove rivulus? a. patricia wright b. researchers in guatemala c. scientists from belize d. scott taylor 30. according to the text, lungfish can_ a. breathe through its skin b. move freely on dry land c. remain alive out of water d. be as active on land as in water 31. what can we say about the discovery of mangrove rivulus? a. it was made quite by accident b. it was based on a lab test of sea life c. it was supported by an american magazine d. it was helped by patricia wright dthousands of people living in the chinese capital will celebrate the start of the chinese new year by heading for the ski resorts(滑雪场).never mind that beijings dry weather seldom produces snow. it is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital. and the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze(热潮).since beijings first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed an astonishing increase.there are now more than a dozen resorts. clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections. mr.wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead chinese to head for the ski resorts of europe. in recent years ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in china. but many are in faraway areas of the country and cant really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in europe.beijings sking craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private(私有的)cars. this has led to the growth of a leisure industry in the capitals suburbs(郊区), which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people. according to mr. wei,about 40 of the visitors to his resort come in their own cars. the rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government offices.the problem is making money.starting ski resort requires quite a lot of money:hiring land from the local government,preparing the hills,buying snow machines,making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them,and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers.the ski resort where mr.wei works cost nearly $4m to set up.and,as so often in china when someone comes up with a good idea,many others rush in and price wars break out.beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world,though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the same job.32.what does this text mainly talk about?aconvenience for skiers brought about by private carsbskiing as a new way of enjoying ones spare timecthings to be considered when starting a ski resortda sudden increase of ski training classes in beijing33.why are some chinese likely to go skiing in europe?ato visit more ski areasbto ski on natural snowcfor a large collection of ski suitsdfor better services and equipment34.the underlined words”leisure industry”in paragraph 3 refer to_ .atransport to ski resortsbproduction of family carscbusiness of providing spare time enjoymentsdpart-time work for people living in the suburbs35.what is the main problem in running a ski resort?adifficulty in hiring landblack of business experiencecprice wars with other ski resorts.dshortage of water and electricity（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。the internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where weve never been before.but just as in face-to-face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. _36_imagine how youd feel if you were in the other persons shoes.for anything youre about to send: ask yourself, “would i say this to the persons face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread._37_if someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. but try not to do so. _38_if it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room._39_.offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. when someone makes a mistake, whether its a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. if its a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. having good manners yourself doesnt give you license to correct everyone else. _40_.at the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.it is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, dont ask such questions.a. its natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.b. repeat the process till you feel sure that youd feel comfortable saying the words to the persons face.c. everyone was new to the network once.d. the basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.e. when you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.f. you should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.g. if you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.第三部分
