24、n E destructiveF. humble G negotiate H respelled I. similarity J superiors K witnessedSome Very “American” Words Come from ChineseMany of the Chinese words that are now part of English were borrowed long ago. They are most often from Cantonese (粤语)or other Chinese languages rather than Mandarin. Let

25、t start with them.kowtowThe English word kowtow is a verb that means to agree too easily to do what someone else wants you to do, or to obey someone with power in a way that seems 31 It comes from the Cantonese word kau tau, which means uknock your head” It refers to the act of kneeling and lowering

26、 one5s head as a sign of respect to 32 such as emperors, elders and leaders In the case of emperors, the act requiredthe person to touch their head to the ground Britain Lord George Macartney refused to "kau tau" to the Qianlong Emperor. Soon after, the English word "kowtow” was born.

27、 In 1793, Britain King George III sent Lord George Macartney and other trade ambassadors to China to 33 a trade agreement. The Chinese asked them to kowtow to the Qianlong Emperor. As the story goes, Lord Macartney refused for his 34 to do more than bend their knees. He said that was all they were r

28、equired to do for their own king.It is not surprising, then, that Macartney left China without negotiating the trade agreement. After that, critics used the word kowtow when anyone was too submissive to China Today, the usage has no connection to China, nor any specific political connectiongung-hoAn

29、other borrowed word that came about through 35 between two nations is gung-ho. In English, the word gung-ho is an adjective that means extremely excited about doing something. The Chinese characters "gong" and uhe together mean "work together, cooperate. The original term gongyehezuos

30、he means Chinese Industrial Cooperatives. The organizations were established in the1930s by Westerners in China to promote industrial and economic development. Lt. Colonel Evans Carlson of the United States Marine Corps observed these cooperatives while he was in China He was impressed, saying "

31、;.all the soldiers 36 themselves to one idea and worked together to put that idea ove匚” He then began using the term gung-ho in the Marine Corps to try to create the same spirit he had 37 In 1942, he used the word as a training slogan for the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion during World War II. The men

32、were often called the “Gung Ho Battalion.” From then, the word gung-ho spread as a slogan throughout the Marine Corps. Today, its meaning has no relation to the military.typhoonIn English, a typhoon is a very powerful and 38 storm that occurs around the China Sea and in the South Pacific The word hi

33、story of typhoon had a far less direct path to the English language than gung-ho. And not all historical accounts are the same But, according to the Merriam-webster New Book of Word Histories, the first typhoons reported in the English language were in India and were called "touffons" or 4

34、4tufans.v The word tufan or al-tufan is Arabic and means violent storm or flood. The English came across this word in India and borrowed it as touffon Later, when English ships encountered violent storms in the China Sea, Englishmen learned the Cantonese word tai fung, which means "great wind.&

35、quot; The word's _39 to touffon is only by chance The modern form of the wordtyphoonwas influenced by the Cantonese but 40 to make it appear more Greek.IIL Reading Comprehension Section ADirections： For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D Fill

37、ing to a new study showing that teenagers are increasingly delaying activities that had long been seen as rites of passage into 42 The study, published Tuesday in thejournal Child Development, found that the percentage of adolescents in the U S who have a driver license, who have tried alcohol, who

38、date, and who work for pay has plummeted since 1976, with the most precipitous (急居U 的) 43 in the past decade The declines appeared across race, geographic, and socioeconomic lines, and in rural urban, and suburban areas.To be sure, more than half of teens still engage in these activities, but the 44

39、 have slimmed considerably. Teens have also reported a steady decline in sexual activity in recent decades, as the portion of high school students who have had sex fell from 54 percent in 1991 to 41 percent in 2015, according to Centers for Disease Control statistics. “People say, 'Oh, it，s beca

40、use teenagers are more responsible, or more lazy, or more boring/ but they5re 45 the larger trend/5 said Jean lu-enge, lead author of the study, which drew on seven large time-lag surveys of Americans. Rather, she said, kids may be less 46 in activities such as dating, driving or getting jobs becaus

41、e in today society, they no longer need to.According to an evolutionary psychology theory that a person "life strategy slows down or speeds up depending on his or her 47, exposure to a "harsh and unpredictable environment leads to fasterdevelopment, while a more resource-rich and secure en

45、 children need to be caiefully 53 has really sunk in. The _54 of "adult activities could not be attributed to more homework or extracurricular activities, the study said, noting that teens today spend fewer hours on homework and the same amount of time on extracurriculars as they did in the 199

46、0s (with the exception of community service, which has risen slightly). Nor could the use of smartphones and the Internet be entirely the 55, the report said, since the decline beganbefore they were widely available If the delay is to make room for creative exploration and forming better social and

50、marked A, B C and D Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just readABitcoin and other so-called cryptocurrenciest （力口密货币）have been all over the news lately. Apparently, the idea of money that's not tied to a specific bank 一 or a specific country

51、 一 is appealing to many But it's worth remembering that the banking system that we now all live with is just that: A modern invention. Not so long ago, money was almost always created and used locally, and bartering was common（In fact, it still is common among many online local networks, like th

52、e Buy Nothing Project.）In the past, money's makeup varied from place to place, depending on what was considered valuable there So while some of the world's first coins were made from a naturally occurring hybrid of gold and silver called electrum （金银矿），objects other than coins have served as

53、 currency, including beads, ivory, livestock, and cowrie shells. In West Africa, bracelets of bronze or copper were used as cash, especially if the transaction was associated with the slave trade there. Throughout the colonial period, tobacco was used to replace coins or paper bills in Virginia, Mar

54、yland and North Carolina, even though it was used elsewhere in the colonies and extensively throughout Europe and the U KToday, on an island in the Pacific, a specific type of shell still serves as currency 一 and some people there are even hoarding （储存）it, just like Bitcoin moguls, convinced that on

55、e day, it will make them wealthy beyond imagination. On Malaita, the most-populated island tliafs pait of the Solomon Islands, shells are accepted at most places in exchange for goods“How much tuna （金枪鱼）you can get for your shells depends on their color and shape J Mary Bruno, a shop owner from the

56、small town of Atiki, on Malaita, told Vice. “One strip of darker shells might get you about two cans of smaller tuna, but 什ie red ones are worth more. For the red ones, one strip might get enough tuna to feed a big family for a long time.”Just like a mint that creates coins, thereonly one place on t

57、he island where the shells, which are polished and strung together to form 3-foot-long ropes, are made The strips of red, white, and black shells all come from Langa Langa Lagoon, where artificial islands were long-ago built by locals to escape from the island-dwelling cannibals. Once marooned （困住）o

58、ut on their islands, locals needed a currency to use among themselves, and so the shell currency was bornUsing shells for money was common throughout the Pacific islands as late as the early 1900s, but Malaita is unique in that they are still used today. And just like cryptocurencies, there are those who think the islanders are smart to invest in this type of money, which is reported to have risen in value over the last three decades. It might seem strange to hoard a
