We all use them, often without noticing what were doing.I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, and I said “Ill pencil it in my diary”, and my friend said “You can ink it in”, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one!Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax, which is a shortening of facsimile originally, an exact copy of a book or document. We all got used to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising wed fax it immediately. So, nouns turn into verbs in two easy stages. Then along came email, and we were soon all emailing each other madly. How did we do without it? I can hardly imagine life without my daily emails.Email reminds me, of course， of my computer and its software, which has produced another couple of new verbs. On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think Ill want to look at again, thus saving all the effort of remembering their addresses and calling them up from scratch. I can do the same thing on my PC, but there I dont bookmark; I favoritecoming from “favorite pages”, so the verb is derived from an adjective not a noun I wasnt really sure whether people said this，but someone told me recently that they had favorited a site I was looking for and so they could easily give me its address.In the late 1980s I noticed that lots of my friends had acquired pagers, and kept saying things like “Ill page you as soon as I know what time were meeting”. They couldnt say it to me, though; 1 refused to have one So my children bought me a mobile phone, now known simply as a mobile and I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message （either spoken or written）for them on their phoneOr I can text them, write a few words suggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long will it be before I can mobile them, that is, phone them using my mobile? I havent heard that verb yet, but Im sure I will soon. Perhaps Ill start using it myself!63. “Ill pencil it in my diary” in the second paragraph probably means .A. it was a firm arrangementB. it was an uncertain arrangementC. the arrangement should be written as a diaryD. he prefers a pencil to a pen64. A website address can be easily found if it has beenA. emailed B. messaged C. favorited D. texted65. Which of the following has not been used as a verb, yet?A. messageB. page C. email D. mobile66The best title for this passage is_A. New Verbs from Old NounsB. The Development of the English languageC. New Technology and New wordsD. Technology and Language.（D） To many web-building spiders, most of whom are nearly blind, the web is their essential window on the world: their means of communicating, capturing prey（猎物）, meeting mates and protecting themselves. A web-building spider without its web is like a men cast away on an island of solid rock，totally out of touch and destined to starve to death.So important is the web to an orb-web spiders survival that the animal will continue to construct new webs daily even if it is being starved. For 16 days the starving spider builds completely normal webs. Then, as the animal gets scrawnier（憔悴的）， it constructs a wider-meshed web using fewer strands（线）. Such webs would only trap larger prey, which is more economical from the perspective of a starving spider.The spider stores energy by recycling web protein. It simply eats its own web each evening and reuses it to produce new silk. In studies with radioactively，labeled materials, it was found that 95 percent of web protein reappears in the next day web. Most of the energy needed for web-building is used in walking over the strands as they are laid downScientists are impressed by the adaptability of the spiders highly preprogrammed brain, which is larger for its size than the brain of any other invertebrate（无脊推动物）If web-building is interrupted, or if some of the existing strands are destroyed，the spider simply goes back to see where the web is left off and then finishes building a normal web. One spider will finish building the incomplete web of another.67. Which of the following best expresses the main ides of the passage?A. Secrets of Spiders AdaptabilityB. Importance of Webs to SpidersC. Secrets of the Spiders Life D. Spiders Highly Pregrogrammed Brain68According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Mast spiders will stop conducting webs when hungryB. One Web-building spider usually conducts one webC. Web-building spiders will probably die without their websD. Web-building spiders have good eyesight.69. A spider conducts a wider-meshed web whenA. it is 16 days oldB. it is getting weakerC. it has fewer wendsD. it hunts for food70. A spiders ability to finish an incomplete web proves thatA. it has a highly preprogrammed brainB. it reuses its web protein to reproduce new silkC. the web is everything for a spiderD. it is able to rebuild a destroyed web（E）High school dropouts（辍学者）earn an average of $ 9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study dispels a common belief why they quit. Its much more basic than flunking out（不及格）.Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just cant cut it. They are lazy，and perhaps not two brightSo researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left.“The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school.” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half of African-American and Hispanic（美籍西班牙的）student will receive a diploma（证书），and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So， if failing grades dont explain why these kids quit, what does? Again，John Bridgeland：The most dependable finding was that they were bored.” “They found classes uninteresting; they werent inspired or motivated. They didnt see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom t
