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, French 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 lacarte”(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 style”. 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!51. French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because_A. too many French moved to BritainB. French brought animals with themC. the king and his officials spoke FrenchD. the king allowed French to be spoken52. Which word can replace the word “retained” in Paragraph 1 ?A. adopted(采纳，收养)B. keptC. introducedD deserted(遗弃，废弃)53. French grammar is distinct(明显不同) from English grammar in that _A. no words have the same pronunciationB. all words have the same pronunciationC. English nouns have a male or female genderD. French nouns have different adjective forms54. What conclusion can we draw from the text?A. Language is closely related to history and cultureB. French and English words have nothing incommonC. Language is controlled by the upper classes of societyD. English combines French and the Native Anglo-SaxonBEdmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of comets(彗星)which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse(椭圆形).Now Halley set to work. He figured out(解决，计算出)the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearance had been 75 to 76 years apart.This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain to make a prediction(预言)of what would happen in the future. He decided that this would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halleys prediction could be tested. In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet had been called Halleys comet, in his honor.55. Edmund Halley figured out the orbit of _.A. some different comets appearing several timesB. the same comet appearing at different timesC. three different comets appearing at the same timeD. several comets appearing at the same time56. Halley made his discovery _.A. by doing experimentsB. by means of his own careful observationC. by using the working of other scientistsD. by chance57. Halley made a surprising, but correct prediction in the year_.A. 1704B. 1705C. 1706D. 170758. This passage in general is about _.A. Halley and other scientistsB. the orbit of a cometC. Newton and HalleyD. Halley and his discoveryCLess than 60 percent of students now entering four-year American colleges are likely to graduate. The completion rate is lower than for almost any other wealthy country, and worst for poor and minority students.On Tuesday the President Obama gave a nationally broadcast speech to students about the importance of staying in school. He spoke on the first day of classes at a high school in Virginia. He talked about personal responsibility, and used himself as an example of someone who overcame difficulties.“My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother who had to work and struggled at times to pay the bills and wasnt always able to give us things the other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didnt fit in,” said President Obama.But he told students that problem in their own lives should not stop them from learning. “Thats no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class or dropping out of school(辍学). Theres no excuse for not trying.”This was not the first presidential speech to students. Ronald Reagan spoke from the White House in 1988. And George H.W. Bush spoke from a school in Washington in 1991.But many conservatives(保守派) criticized plans for the speech. Some called it “socialized education” or federal interference(干预) in local schools. Others feared it would be too political. Some schools decided not to show the speech. But the White House released(发布) the text on Monday, and that calmed a lot of critics.On Saturday, on the CBS program “Face the Nation”, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said 30 percent of the students do not graduate from high school. He called the dropout rate “amazing”. It represents more than a million students every year who entered ninth grade but did not complete 12th grade.59. President Obama gave a nationally broadcast speech on Tuesday to _.A. persuade the students to go on with their studies even if they have problemsB. tell the students how he struggled to go to school in his childhood.C. encourage students to drop outD. criticize the students who talked back to their parents60. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Obamas mother left him when he was two years old.B. George H.W. Bush spoke to students from the White House in 1991.C. Some people considered Obamas speech to be too political.D. The White House decided not to release the text on Monday.61. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. there is 40 percent of dropout in high schoolB. the dropout rate of American schools is amazingC. not all the people support the presidents speechD. only one million students can finish 12th grade each year62. The best title of the passage can be _.A. Osamas Hard ChildhoodB. Amazing Dropout Rate in the USC. Obamas Speech Met CriticismD. Obama Encourages Students to Carry on StudiesDScientists have proved that sleeping and learning go hand in hand. Even a short nap can boost (促进)our memory and sharpen our thinking. But the relationship goes deeper than that.“The brain is not passive while you sleep,” scientist Anat Arzi said. “Its quite active. You can do many things while you are asleep.”Arzi and her coworkers didnt try to teach the sleeping volunteers any complex information, like new words or facts. Instead, the scientists taught volunteers to make new connections between smells and sounds.When we smell something good, like a flower, we take deep breaths. When we smell something bad, we take short breaths. Arzi and her co-workers based their experiment on these reactions.Once the volunteers fell asleep in the lab, the scientists went to work. They gave them a whiff(吹气) of something pleasant and meanwhile played a particular musical note. They didnt wake up, but they heardand sniffed(吸气) deeply. Then the scientists gave the volunteers a whiff of something terrible and played a different musical note. Again, the volunteers heard and smelleda short snort this timebut didnt wake up. The researchers repeated the experiment.After just four repetitions, volunteers made a connection between the musical notes and their paired smells. When the scientists played the musical tone that went with good smells, the sleepers breathed deeply. And when the scientists played the musical tone that went with bad smells, the sleepers breathed brieflydespite there being no bad smell.The next day, the volunteers woke up with the sound-smell connection. They breathed deeply when hearing one tone and cut their breaths short when hearing the other, which must have been unusual for them. Imagine walking down the street and taking a deep breath upon hearing a particular sound!63. In the study, the volunteers were taught _.A. to become active during sleepB. to tell the difference between smellsC. to learn
