When the land was used up (用光) the river was not clean in a place, man went to 45 place. Now man is slowly polluting the whole world. 46 pollution is still the most serious, its bad for 47 things in the world.

English speakers are always creating new words, andwe are often able to know where most words come from. Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did youever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they arenot made with ham? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe.They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English,but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef,they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the questionand answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of the Americans owned a restaurant,and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of bread with beef and started sellingthem. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, “hamburgers” are soldin many countries around the world. Whether this story is true or not, it is certainly interesting. Knowing whyany word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. This reason, for most Englishwords, can be found in any large English dictionary.（ ）56、According to the writer, English is _ .A、as old as Chinese B、older than ChineseC、not so old as Chinese D、very difficult to learn（ ）57、Hamburg is _ .A、a kind of food B、a round piece of beef C、the name of a village D、a city in Germany（ ）58、According to the passage, _ .A、few Americans like hamburgers B、hamburgers are sold only in Germany C、hamburgers are made with ham D、hamburgers were first sold about a century ago（ ）59、According to the writer, which of the following can often be found in any large English dictionary ? A、Where all the new words came from. B、Where those Germans came from. C、The reason why a word has a certain meaning. D、The reason why English is spoken around the world.（ ）60、According to the story, the word “hamburger” comes from _.A、China because it has a long history B、English because Germans dont speak good English C、the round piece of beef which those people from Hamburg were eating D、English speakers because they always create new wordsBIn America, when people say “mans best friend”, they dont mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animaldog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give happiness to peoples lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to be the “eyes” for a blind person or “ears” for a deaf person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for “visits”.Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week” in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you dont live in America, you can do this, too. How? First, think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies.If you dont have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a dog on the street, dont kick it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to stop them. As people, we must protect animals who cant speak for themselves.（ ）61、“A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!” means that .A、pets have the right to inherit(继承) money B、money can give pets happinessC、its the best way to spend money D、some pets are taken as children（ ）62、Why are dogs brought in to hospitals?A、Because they are ill and need to see doctors.B、Because they can make the patients happier.

C、Cooking delicious food for pets.D、Making friends with other peoples pets.（ ）64、What is the passage mainly about?A、A lot of people are interested in dogs.B、Dogs can help people do many things.C、Pets are lovely and need care and protection.D、We have done a lot of things for pets.（ ）65、The words “mans best friend” shows _. A、the friendship between people and people B、the friendship between people and animalsC、the friendship between animals and animalsD、the friendship between men and womenC“How are you?” is a nice question. Its a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. Its a question that often doesnt have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the persons friend isnt fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isnt really a question and “Fine” isnt really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.Sometimes, people also dont say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, the other person might be thinking, “No, I disagree, I think youre wrong” But it isnt very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “Im not sure.” Its a nicer way to say that you dont agree with someone.People also dont say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says “Ive to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse:” Someones at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesnt want to talk any more, but it isnt polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesnt hurt the other person.Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people often dont say exactly what they are thinking. Its an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and its all part of the game of language.（ ）66、When a person in the United States asks “How are you?”, he or she wants to hear “_” A、How are you? B、Hello. C、I dont know. D、Fine.（ ）67、When a person wants to disagree with someone, it is polite to say “_”.A、Youre wrong. I disagree B、Im not so sureC、Im sure I disagree D、No, I disagree（ ）68、A polite way to finish a talk to say “_”.A、You have to go now B、I want to hang upC、I have to go now D、I dont want to talk any more（ ）69、When a person says “Ive got to go now. Someones at the door.”, the person may be .A、giving an excuse B、hurting someones feelingC、talking to a person at the door D、going to another place（ ）70、One of the rules of the game of language is probably .A、“Always say what you mean” B、“Dont disagree with people”C、“Never say exactly what youre thinking” D、“Be polite”D DMany French teachers and parents complain that their kids are less bright than they were. They say young people visit museums less often and spend too much time on the Internet. They only read comics and listen to music,and like American culture more than their own. But is this true?
