These are called multi-meaning words.Multi-meaning words have the same pronunciation with different meanings. For example, lets look at the word “ball”. You could have a “ball” which means you would have a good time. You could toss a “ball” which means you throw an object. You could be on the “ball” which means you know what is happening. You could go to a “ball” which means a dance._Take the word “can”. You “can” ride a bike which means you are able to ride a bike. You have a “can” of soup which means the soup is in a round-shaped holder. You can do the “can-can” which is a dance from the 1920s. And you might get “canned” if you do a poor job at work, which means you might lose your job.How about “fly”? You can “fly” an airplane or you can hit a “fly” that is on your food in your house. Or, you can “fly by the seat of your pants” which means you dont make a plan before taking an action. And, you know that the “fly” of a zipper（拉链）is the top part of the zipper.There are hundreds of words that are multi-meaning words. The word “set” has more meanings than any other word in the English language. When you have time, why dont you try to think of all the ways the word “set” is used?If you look at the title of this book Can a Fly, Fly? . you know that the answer is “Yes” because you have seen an insect named a “fly” go up in the air and move around through the airwhich is what “fly” means. Can a Fly, Fly? Of course, it can!（1）If Tom is often late for work and fails to finish his tasks, he will_ A . do the can-canB . get cannedC . be on the ballD . go to a ball（2）According to the passage, the word “_” has the most meanings in the English language.

They stood in a circle, with 30 more stones lying on top to form a ring of rocks. There was also an inner circle built with similar stones. The stones set up in a trilithon(巨石牌坊) pattern.A trilithon is made of two stone pillars with a stab of rock laid across the top. The stones weigh up to 20 tons each. People wonder how the huge rocks were placed that way.Historians agree that Stonehenge was built in three different stages. The first stage took place about 5, 000 years ago. At that time, a large circular earth wall was made. Historians believe the wall was dug and cut with tools made form anglers(鹿角) of red deer. The earth wall was about 98m in diameter(直径) a 5-meter-tall stone was placed near the center. Then, they had to transport the large blue stones (up to 4 tons) 384 kilometers to Stonehenge. Experts think they might be moved across ice and snow. The ground in winter in this area is usually full of ice and snow, making it easier to move the rocks. The next task was to stand the stones up. The most difficult task was putting the top stones in place. Each one of these tasks took a lot of planning and a lot of strength, but the workers of Stonehenge were excellent builders.Why was the monument built? Some scientists think its a burial ground. There are over 400 graves (burial sits) nearby. A man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470 BC). Others think Stonehenge was built by early astronomers. Scientists believe that when a person stands in the center of the monument, the changing of seasons can be seen. Certain stones mark the location of the rising and setting moon in midwinter. Other stones mark the rising and setting sun in midsummer. The ancient people held religious ceremonies on these days. These ceremonies probably asked the gods to bring good weather for crops and to protect the people from bad weather.Stonehenge is an engineering success. Thousands of years later, it still stands. As a calendar, Stonehenge is very accurate. It shows that early people had a deep understanding of the movements to the sun and the moon. They didnt have machines or computers, but Stonehenge shows people could do many things using only their muscles and their brains.（1）he first building stage of Stonehenge was _. A . to dig and cut the earth wallB . to move the blue stones across the iceC . to stand the stones upD . to put the top stones in place（2）Which evidence(证据) is given to support the idea that Stonehenge was a burial ground? A . Stonehenge was made of stones.B . It is a place for celebrating ceremonies.C . The passing of seasons can be seen there.D . Two gold earrings were found in a grave.（3）The underlined word accurate in the last paragraph probably means _. A . correctB . strangeC . hugeD . heavy（4）Stonehenge was probably NOT originally built for _. A . touristsB . religious reasonsC . a burial groundD . telling the seasons24. （10分） Now scientists have discovered that the dogs behave like their masters, too. Just like children, they use a “ look and learn” ways when they go about their tasks.Scientists at Oxford universities designed an experiment to test if the dogs have the ability to copy humans actions by using a simple wooden box. 10 owners showed their dogs how to open the wooden box .Sometimes they use their heads to push it and sometimes they use their hands.10 dogs were divided into two groups-Group 1 and Group 2. In the first part of the test, Group 1 were rewarded with a piece of meat for copying their owners actions. Group 2 were rewarded with food for not copying and using other ways. With each dog the experiment was repeated hundreds of times. Scientists recorded the time to see which group was first to get 85% right. They found that Group1finished the task much sooner than Group 2.In the second part of the test, all the dogs were only rewarded for copying the way that their owners used. Group1 reached the 85% mark more quickly than Group 2.So the scientists draw a conclusion: “Like humans, dogs can copy actions that they see. Dogs imitative（仿效的）behavior is shaped more by their interactions（互动）with humans than by evolution(进化).”Scientists said,“A dogs behavior is influenced much like that of a child; they look and learn similar behavior. We hope that owners understand the importance of their actions and use this knowledge to set good examples and therefore have a good effect on the behavior of their pets.”（1）The scientists believe dogs imitative behavior mainly comes from_.A . proper rewardsB . domesticationC . human-dog interactionsD . evolution（2）The best title may be “_”.A . Dogs can finish their tasks quicklyB . Dogs are interesting animalsC . Masters always set good examplesD . Dogs behave like their masters.（3）From the experiment, we know _.A . It took the two groups of dogs the same time to finish the required taskB . The dogs that copied their masters finished the required task much soonerC . The dogs that were encouraged to copy their masters finished the task more slowlyD . The dogs that were encouraged not to copy their masters finished the task more quickly（4）According to the last paragraph, we can infer _.A . a cruel man can raise a cruel dogB . dogs can be influenced by anyoneC . dogs always behave positivelyD . dogs are the best kind of pets25. （10分） I liked listening to the radio when I was young .
