This is as good a way as any to welcome you to this passage.The word “hello” is 1 used more often than any other one in the English language. Everybody in the United States and elsewhere 2 the word, again and again, every day of the week.The first thing you hear when you 3 the phone is “hello”. Where did the word come from? There are all sorts of beliefs. Some say it came from the French, “ho” and “la”“Ho, there!” This 4 may have arrived in England during the year 1066.“Ho, there” slowly became 5 that sounded like “hallow”, often heard in the 1300s.Two hundred years later, “hallow” had become “halloo”. And later, sounds like “halloa” and “hallo” were often used by sailors and huntsmen, “Halloo” is 6 used today by fox hunters.As time 7 , “halloo” and “halloa” changed into “hullo”. And during the 1800s this was how people greeted each other in America.The American inventor, Thomas Edison, is believed to be the 8 person to use “hello” in the late 1800s, soon after the invention of the telephone.At first, people had greeted each other on the telephone 9 “Are you there?” They were not sure the new instrument could really 10 voices.Thomas Edison, however, was a man of 11 words. He wasted no time. The first time he picked up the phone he did not ask if anyone was there. He was 12 someone was, and simply said, “Hello”.From that time on only about 100 years ago, the “hullo” became “hello” as it is heard today.Of course, there are other 13 Americans greet one another. Not long ago, people often said, “How are you?” when they first met someone. This later became “hiyah”. Then, someone thought that two syllables were too much and “hiyah” became “hi”. Laziness is a strong force in 14 language.Answering a telephone call in America still presents problems; however, telephone companies think that Thomas Edisons short “hello” is too long. Why waste time? The phone companies say. Simply pick up the phone, 15 your name, and start talking. 1. A. possiblyB. maybeC. probablyD. likely 2. A. usesB. speaksC. writesD. hears 3. A. take upB. pick upC. hold upD. put up 4. A. wordB. phraseC. letterD. greeting 5. A. anythingB. everythingC. somethingD. nothing 6. A. alsoB. tooC. as wellD. still 7. A. passedB. passed byC. wentD. past 8. A. firstB. lastC. cleverD. happy 9. A. inB. withC. throughD. by 10. A. takeB. bringC. carryD. fetch 11. A. fewB. a fewC. littleD. a little 12.

IV. 汉译英使用所给的提示将下列句子译成英语。1. 我们应该充分利用时间努力学习。(make use of) _2. 这部小说是根据一个真实的故事而写的。(be based on) _3. 中国东北是一个美丽富饶的地方。(northeastern) _4. 美国英语和英国英语有一些区别。(difference) _5. 他问我们明天是否是晴天。(whether) _参考答案I. 单项填空1. B voyage是航海和航天。travel是陆地旅行，传播。trip(短途)旅行。journey 长途旅行，旅程，路程(常指陆路)。2. C straight笔直走。straightly拼写错误，不能加ly。right和direct不合题意。3. D 前面是一个句型sb. was doing sth. when sth. happened。在后面的book是先行词，后面 的定语从句中动作有明显先后次序，“老师将书放在办公室”发生在“返回”之前，所以 用过去完成时。4. D are you staying是现在进行时表示将来，通常指计划好的行动。A选项有很大干扰， 但是完成时强调动作的结果和影响。 5. A none of them是搭配，none可以指人，同时也可以指物体。no one of them搭配不 对。neither是两者都不。of all是指两者以上。6. C enjoy后面要接doing sth. 但是本句中疑问代词which已经充当了enjoy的宾语，to spend是目的状语。7. B latter是“后者”。later是副词，表示“后来”，或某段时间以后。late 是“迟到，晚点”。lately是“最近”，通常句子要用完成时。8. B make an effort to do sth. 尽力做某事。make sense有意义，与句意不符。其他选 项都与题意不符。9. C with构成独立主格结构。as是连词，后面要接一个句子。for 不能表示随着某事的发展或变化。through不能构成独立主格结构。10. D 句中有一个具体的时间“2003”，所以要用过去时，根据上下文来看，是在“电影 院放映”，所以用被动语态。II. 完形填空1. C probably是极可能，概率大于90%。maybe的可能性为30%。possibly的可能 性为50%。likely是形容词，此处需要副词做状语。2. A uses使用本词汇，可能是说或者书写。同时根据上文可知。speaks是说hello，不包括书面语hello。writes是书面语hello，不包括说hello。hears听到，词意范围狭窄。3. B pick up在文中指“拿起话筒”。pick up还有其他意思：收听：My radio can pick up French. 开车接人：Ill pick you up tomorrow morning.；take up 开始从事；专注于： He took up art while at school. 继续；接下：to take up ones story；hold up 举起； 展示；阻挡，拦截；提出(作榜样)：His son was held up as a model of hard work.；put up 举起，抬起：Put your hands up! 举起手来! 张开(伞)：to put up a tent架起帐篷； 张贴，公布：to put up a notice张贴布告；Jasper has put up “No Parking” signs outside his gate, but these have not had any effect. 接待；为提供食宿，供膳宿：We can put up ten people for the night. 提供(资金)，供应(某事所需之钱)。4. D greeting指这种打招呼方式传入英国。word用在这里不恰当，当时拼写方式还未 固定。phrase是短语，hello是一个单词，不是一个短语。letter是字母，而hello是一 个单词。5. C something表示后面所提到的hallow。anything和everything的词意范围太广。nothing词意相反。6. D 从后面的today可以得知，仍然被用，所以选择still。also指“亦，同样”，不 表示时间方面的仍然。as well和too指“也，还；同样”，用在句尾。7. A passed(时间)流逝；消磨(时间)：Spring passed quickly. passed by走过：A coach passed by just a moment ago. went应为by连用，表示时间流逝。past用作形容词和名词，指“过去的，过去”。8. A 由后面soon after the invention，可以判断是“第一人”。hello到现在还在使用， 所以“最后一人”还未出现，所以不能用last。选项clever，happy与使用hello无关。9. B greet sb. with . 是词组；in，through，by搭配不符。10. C carry携带，运送，传送，表示传送声音；take，bring，fetch意思不符。11. A few是否定意，表示Edison是一个“寡言少语”的人。a few指“一些”，是肯定意，与文意不符。little和a little不能修饰可数名词。12. A sure前面有he did not ask if anyone was there. 表示“他有把握”；anxious担忧的， glad高兴的，
