The human foot contains twenty muscles. This means that there is a lot that can go wrong when you run.Most sports have some kind of running or jumping. So experts at many shoe companies work hard to design good sport shoes. First, a designer enters a plan for a shoe into a computer. Engineers then improve the design. A second computer designs a model for the shoe. Then a few pairs are made. Next, the shoe is tested.Different kinds of sports shoes are made for different uses. Some are made to help marathon runners save energy during a race. Some are made for the stop-and-go kind of running tennis players. But all sport shoes have one thing in common: they are designed to help peoples feet comfortable during sports.

You can raise them in the city.Rabbit houses are easy to make with wood and wire. They dont have to be very big. But each rabbit must have its own little room in the house. This is very important. Each room should be about 75 centimeters wide, 60 centimeters high and one meter deep.Fencing（围墙材料）is used for the sides and the floor of the rabbit house. The holes in the wire fencing should be about one centimeter square. Waste from the animals will drop through the holes. This keeps the rabbit house clean and dry.Rabbits need a lot of fresh air and sunlight. Cover the sides of the rabbit house only to protect it from rain.Rabbits eat mostly grass and leaves. Hang feeding containers on the outside of the house to let the rabbits eat whenever they want. They simply pull the grass and leaves through the holes in the fence.Each room should have fresh water. The water containers should be heavy so the rabbits cannot turn them over. Or you can tie the containers to the fence.Rabbits are valuable for their fur.

Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton? To find out, we have to go back to 1066, when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne(王位), which not only changed the government but also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, Frecch words like porc(pork) and beouf(beef) came into the English language. However, poor English farmers raised the animals. So the English language retained the words pig and cow from the Native Anglo-Saxon.The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.Language experts estimate that English speakers who have never studied French already know 15,000 French words! Between one-third and two-thirds of all English words have French origins. Some words such as “possible” and “avenue” are the same in French and English; only the pronunciations change. Other words such as “ballet” or “a la carte”(照菜单点菜) retain their French pronunciations in both languages.In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender(性别), so adjectives(形容词) take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The word “blond” describes someone with light-colored hair. “Blond” is used for men, and “blonde” describes women. And they are also nouns.Some French words that entered the English language have taken on completely different meanings. The French phrase “a la mode” means “in stlye”. In English, the phrase means “with the ice cream”. Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!Now, as you learn English, youre on your way to learning French!62. French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because_. A. too many French moved to Britain B. French brought animals with them C. the king and his officials spoke FrenchD. the king allowed French to be spoken63. Which word can replace the word “retained” in Paragraph 1 ? A. Adopted. B. Kept. C. Introduced. D. Deserted64. Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn?A. Because English and French share similar pronunciations. B. Because English grammar and French grammar are similar. C. Because a large number of English words have French origins.D. Because English has great influences on the French language.65. French grammar is distinct(明显不同) from English grammar in that _. A. no words have the same pronunciation B. all words have the same pronunciation C. English nouns have a male or female gender D. French nouns have different adjective forms66. What conclusion can we draw from the text?A. Language is closely related to history and culture.B. French and English words have nothing in common.C. Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.D. English combines French and the Native Anglo-Saxon.第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。首先请阅读下列餐馆的信息：A.
