【题目】In early autumn I applied for admission to college. I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but my mother fought strongly against it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up.

“You can’t say it’s not a great university, just because Papa went there.”

“That’s not it at all. And it is a top university.” She was still holding the pieces in her hand. “But we can’t afford to send you to college.”

“I wouldn’t dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things aren’t that bad, are they?”

“No,” she said. “I don’t expect you to help support us.”

Father borrowed money form his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop, His chief customers were his old college friends. To get new customers, my mother had to help. She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my Parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment could show returns. What’s more , they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful ;otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly.

I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives, and the determination not to repeat their mistakes. I had a strong belief in my power to get what I wanted. After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship. My father could hardly contain his pride in me, and my mother eventually gave in before my success.

【题目】How words came into being is unknown. All we assume (推测) is that some early men invented certain sounds，in one way or another，to express thoughts and feelings，actions and things，so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs，called letters，which could be put together to show those sounds，and which could be written down. Those sounds，whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.

The power of words，then，lies in their associations—the things they bring up to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience；and the longer we live，the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past；and the more we read and learn，the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call literary style (文体)．Above all，the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music，and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly，or they will make our speech silly and common.

【1】We learn from the text that language might have begun with________.

A. expressions B. actions

C. signs D. sounds

【2】What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?

A. The learning of new words.

B. The importance of old words.

C. The relation of human experience with words.

D. The gradual change and development of words.

【3】In the last paragraph, what does the author suggest that we should do?

A. Use words skillfully.

B. Make musical speeches.

C. Learn poems by heart.

D. Associate with listeners.
