People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Different words come into use, or old words are used in a new way.English can be changed by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico and“tea”came from China and so on. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too. New words are formed by adding two words together. “Countryside” and “earthquake” are made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of old words. The word “photo” was made from “photograph” by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane” was made by cutting off the front part of “airplane”. The names of people and products can become new words, too. Our “sandwich” was named after a man called Sandwich and “sello tape”(透明胶带) was a name given by the company that first made the product.( )26.New English words are needed because _.A. people use old words in a new way B. the population is bigger nowC. the old words are not enough D. new ideas and new inventions appear all the time( )27.Which of the following words was taken to English from another country?A.

Six.( )30.The main idea of this passage is _.A. that the English language is always changingB. that there are new ideas in England todayC. how people name new products and inventionsD. how people use old words in a new way(B)“Tom? Are you in bed yet?” called Mrs.White. There was no answer. Mrs. White put down her book and went to her 14-year-old sons room. Tom was sitting in front of a bright computer screen on which a motorbike was running fast.“Oh, Tom. Youre still playing on that computer game. You must stop now, because its half past eleven. If you dont go to bed soon, youll be very tired tomorrow. ” said Mrs. White.“But Ive nearly won the game. ” Tom said to Mrs. White. She could see the excitement on his face. She sat down beside him.“Youre always playing on the computer. You spend more time on this machine than on your homework. ”Today more and more families have computers. Parents hope computers can help their children improve their study at school. But many of their children use computers to play games and watch videos instead of studying. We often see that computer net bars are crowded with people, especially young boys. They spend a lot of money competing(竞争) with the computerized (用计算机控制的) machines. The more they lose, the more they want to win. The result is that they dont want to work or study.In some countries, even scientists hate computers. They say computers cause millions of people to lose their jobs or cause them a lot of trouble. Computer game addiction(瘾) is a serious problem in social(社会的) life. Something should have to be done to solve the problem.( )31.How did Mrs. White feel when she saw her son playing late?A. She felt excited.B. She felt happy.C. She felt worried.D.

A、B and C( )34.The writer thinks _.A. the boys can go to the computer net bars, but the girls cantB. the computer net bars are very usefulC. the children spend too much money on computer gamesD. the children should play computer games( )35.Why do some scientists hate computers?A. They think computers cause millions of people to lose their jobs.B. They think computers cause them a lot of trouble.C. They think its a waste of time to use computers.D. Both A and B.(C)China will remember the great moment. At 9: 00 a.m. on October 15th, 2003, the country sent up its first manned spacecraft, Shenzhou, into space at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu Province.Now China has become the third country in the world to send a person into orbit(运行轨道) after the former Soviet Union(前苏联) and the United States. Yang Liwei, 38, is Chinas first spaceman.Yang sent a message back to the earth,“Im feeling very good in space, and it looks wonderful here.”Yang then told his wife and son,“I have looked at our beautiful earth and recorded all that I have seen here.”It was planned that Shenzhouwould circle the earth 14 times in about 20 hours.What did the spaceship take with? Flags and seeds(种子): a national flag, a United Nations flag, the Olympic flag and one kilogram of seeds for experiments.Yang, who comes from Liaoning Province, has been an air force pilot since 1987. He was chosen from 14 pilots after many difficult tests.根据短文内容，回答下列问题。36.When did China launch its first manned spacecraft, Shenzhouinto space?_37.How many countries are there to send a person into orbit?_38.Whos Chinas first spaceman?_39.How many hours did Shenzhou circle the earth?_40.What did the spaceship take with?_(D)Now satellites are helping us to forecast the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of atmosphere(大气). So the scientists there can see the weather of any part of the world and how the weather will change. Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries can receive satellite pictures. When they receive the new pictures, they compare(比较) them with the earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, they can tell people about it. So the weather satellites are of great help to the scientists at the station. In the past they could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours earlier. Now they can make good forecast for 3 or 5 days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead. 根据短文内容, 判断正(T)误(F)。( )41.The weather satellites in space can help the scientists to know everything. ( )42.Changing clouds in the atmosphere means that weather may change. ( )43.Without satellites, scientists could forecast the weather for 3 or 5 days ahead. ( )44.Today, every country has its own weather station which can receive satellite pictures.
