    A language never stands still. It is always changing and developing. These changes are rapid in primitive societies, but slow in advanced ones, because the invention

    and printing and the spread of education have fixed a traditional usage. The only important change that English has undergone since the first of the 16th century is a large increase in its vocabulary. It is interesting to trace the different way in which new words are invented. Let us take just two English words and see how they were made, sandwich and television.

       Sandwich, which is now no longer are entirely English words, but also international, comes from the Earl of Sandwich (died in 1792) who invented the particular form of quick meal so that he could go on gambling all through the night without stopping for dinner. Many names of things are in fact taken from the name of the first inventors, for example, the electrical terms Watt and Volt.

        Television is one of many new scientific words which re invented from old Greek and Latin word. “Tele” is Greek, meaning “far”, while “vision” comes from the Latin verb, meaning “to see”.

    1. “Stands” in the first sentence means___________.

       A. be in a certain condition　　　　　　　　  　　   B. not sit

       C. remain without change　　　　　　　　    D. rise to the feet

    2. What do you think Volt was? It referred to_________.

       A. a player　　　　  B. a physicist　　　　 C. a writer　　 D. a nurse

    3. The invention of sandwich has something to do with__________.

       A. work　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　      B. study

       C. gambling　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. journey

    4. English has undergone an important change in its vocabulary for almost _______centuries.

       A. five　　　　    B. four　　　　   C. three　　　　   D. six

    5. The language cannot develop rapidly in advanced societies because_______.

       A. the societies have stopped changing

       B. the printing has been invented

       C. the education has spread

       D. both B and C

    阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150左右的英语短文。
    Insistence or Giving up
    There is a battle in our daily life. Two forces are fighting with each other again and again. They never stop until you are buried in the earth. We called them insistence and giving up. They are like twins. One is angle, and the other is a demon..
    As we all know, we want to pass the CET-4. So we get our own strategy. First of all, I am bound to master five thousand vocabularies. Second, I will write an article every week which is at least two hundred words. Then I will read at least two English articles, make more friends with foreigners for learning native English, and listening to some English news broadcast every day.
    Nevertheless, according to my strategy, the first day, I should wake up at 6 a.m. to memorize at least twenty words. The alarm clock rings for me; I should get rid of my bed in order to study. Suddenly, “Giving up” came and whispered to me. “What about a five-minute prolong sleeping? How soft, comfortable this bed is! But Ms Insistence urged me, “Don’t listen to him; Come on, let’s carry out our plan.” Her voice is sweet, but not what I need.
    Time flies! If we can’t seize every opportunity to appreciate time, Mr. Giving up will win all the time. Insistence of your plan, your dream may not be accomplished successfully, but giving up, you are sure to fail in life. (237w)

    It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather.Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr.Johnson’s famous comment that“When two English meet，their first talk is of weather.”Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago，most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather?speak.

    Bill Bryson，for example，concludes that，as the English weather is not at all exciting，the obsession with it can hardly be understood.He argues that“To an outsider，the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply，the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.

    Jeremy Paxman，however，disagrees with Bryson，arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive.Bryson is wrong，he says，because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena.“The interest is less in the phenomena themselves，but in uncertainty.”According to him，the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.

    Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather?speak among the English.Both commentators，somehow，are missing the point.The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all.English weather?speak is a system of signs，which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other.Everyone knows conversations starting with weather?speak are not requests for weather data.Rather，they are routine greetings，conversation starters or the blank “fillers”．In other words，English weather?speak is a means of social bonding.

    1.The author mentions Dr.Johnson’s comment to show that________.

    A．most commentators agree with Dr.Johnson

    B．Dr.Johnson is famous for his weather observation

    C．the comment was accurate two hundred years ago

    D．English conversations usually start with the weather

    2.What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?

    A．A social trend.

    B．An emotional state.

    C．A historical concept.

    D．An unknown phenomenon.

    3.According to the passage，Jeremy Paxman believes that________.

    A．Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather

    B．there is nothing special about the English weather

    C．the English weather attracts people to the British Isles

    D．English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty

    4.What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?

    A．To explain what English weather?speak is about.

    B．To analyse misconceptions about the English weather.

    C．To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.

    D．To convince people that the English weather is changeable.
