21、New words emerge in English all the time. In fact, in recent years more new words and phrases are entering the language than ever before, partly due to the increased willingness of lexicographers (词典编纂者) to include them in the dictionaries.
John Algeo who studies the history of language says, “As our culture changes, the language changes. American culture is going through a time of rapid change.”
Technology is moving fast, which has a big effect on language. The computer world produces hundreds of new words. New terms also come from business, medicine, and other fields.
Many new English words come from other languages. David Jost helps create the American Heritage Dictionary. “We constantly borrow words from other cultures,” he says. “This will go on forever in cultures.”
“People in many parts of the world speak English now. That is another reason why so many new words are entering the language,” says Algeo.
The American Dialect Society has a contest each year. The society selects a “new word of the year”, which gains high level of popularity on media for some days. Last year the winner was “information superhighway”, referring to a whole set of electronic network of information and people getting access to this network by computer.
New words often come in several forms, such as the back-formation (like enthuse from enthusiasm), the clipping (like zoo from zoological garden), and the compounding, etc. Over time, one form tends to win out. Take the compounding for instance. “Domestic partners” has been growing popular lately, even though many terms have been used to describe couples who live together but are not married.
“A new word rarely can be traced to one source,” says Algeo. “Several people fend to create a new word when a need for one exists.”
“Most new words have a limited life ‘span’,” say language experts. Only a few will survive through the next 100 years.
【1】What might have least effect on English language?
A．Culture.
B．Technology.
C．Other languages.
D．Language contests.
【2】What does the writer want to demonstrate by mentioning “domestic partners”?
A．It is a compounding word.
B．New words often come in several forms.
C．Over time, one form tends to win out.
D．A new word rarely can be traced to one source.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A．New words occur all of a sudden.
B．New words will become old or extinct.
C．Information technology helps the American Dialect Society.
D．American culture changes rapidly as well as English language.
【4】What’s the best title of this passage?
A．New Words Developing Naturally
B．English Language Changing Rapidly
C．English Vocabulary in a State of Development
D．New Words Influencing English Language
22、 We all want to be successful in our work. But what happens when our achievements come at the risk of losing important friendships? If your friends didn't receive what they were hoping for, your success could make them feel like they've been “left in the dust”. But does that mean that we shouldn't enjoy our achievements in case we displease someone or that we should feel sorry for being successful when others aren't?
Those of us who value friendships and close working relationships might feel embarrassed for achieving more than our friends. But we deserve our success, and nothing should take it away. Jealousy is only natural, but It’s often unreasonable, too. Your success is probably not connected with your friends' progress, so you shouldn't feel bad about achieving your goals. If your friends stay unfriendly, don’t be afraid to keep yourself away from them. You are not responsible for their weaknesses, and nor should they treat you sharply for furthering your work.
On the other hand, your friends may think highly of your recent success while hiding their real feelings. They could be jealous, angry or sad that they are not progressing at the same rate. So, be careful not to boast. It's a thin line between pride and self-importance, and by crossing the line, you may risk losing team support.
Next time you want to boast about your end-of-year win, or high-class new office, consider your listeners. Maybe your friends narrowly missed out on a position-raising, or experienced pay cuts which meant they didn't get what they were expecting. If your work is on a rising path, it doesn't mean that's the case for everyone.
Perhaps a step forward in your work has meant that you don't spend as much time with your friends as you used to. If you've changed a post or moved to a new office, take the time to stay in touch with old friends. Chances are that in the build-up to your success you've built strong relationships along the way. Don't let that hard work go to waste by losing touch with them.
【1】From the first two paragraphs, it can be inferred that ________.
A.we should enjoy our deserving success
B.our success will certainly hurt our friends
C.friends will surely help us achieve success
D.our success is connected with our friends’ progress
【2】Which of the following best explains “boast” underlined in Paragraph 3?
A.Show up. B.Stand out.
C.Talk big. D.Keep silent.
【3】What should we do if our friends support our success?
A.Improve ourselves further.
B.Consider their feelings.
C.Help them make progress.
D.Make them proud of us.
【4】What does the text mainly talk about?
A.How to share our success with friends.
B.How to enjoy our success to the fullest.
C.How to keep relationships between friends.
D.How to keep friendships while enjoying achievements.
23、Leonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest thinkers in the world, began his career as an artist. Very little is known about Leonardo's early life. He was born in 1452 in the town of Vinci. As a boy, Leonardo showed a great interest in drawing, sculpting and observing nature.
However, because Leonardo was born to parents who were not married to each other, he was barred from some studies and professions. He trained as an artist after moving to Florence with his father in the 1460s. It was an exciting time to be in Florence, one of the cultural capitals of Europe. Leonardo trained with one of the city's very successful artists, Andrea del Verrocchio. He was a painter, sculptor and gold worker. Verrocchio told his students that they needed to understand the body's bones and muscles when drawing people.
Leonardo took the teacher's advice very seriously. He spent several periods of his life studying the human body by taking apart and examining dead bodies. While training as an artist, Leonardo also learned about and improved on relatively new painting methods at the time. One was the use of perspective (透视) to show depth. A method called "sfumato" helped to create a cloudy effect to suggest distance. "Chiaroscuro" is a method using light and shade as a painterly effect.
Leonardo's first known portrait now hangs in the National Gallery in Washington, D. C. He made this painting of a young woman named Ginevra de'Benci around 1474. The woman has a pale face with dark hair. In the distance, Leonardo painted the Italian countryside.
He soon received attention for his extraordinary artistic skills. Around 1475 he was asked to draw an angel in Verrocchio's painting "Baptism of Christ." One story says that when Verrocchio saw Leonardo's addition to the painting, he was so amazed by his student's skill that he said he would never paint again.
【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage ______ ？
A．We can find Leonardo's work in the National Gallery.
B．Leonardo thought his teacher's advice was unreasonable.
C．"Sfumato"is a method to show depth by using light and shade.
D．"Baptism of Christ"made Leonardo known across the world.
【2】The underlined word"barred"in the second paragraph probably means ________.
A．prevented
B．protected
C．suffered
D．chosen
【3】Which of the following words can be used to describe Leonardo according to the third paragraph ________ ？
A．Stubborn.
B．Creative.
C．Ambitious.
D．Determined.
【4】Which is the correct order of the things that happened to Leonardo ________？
a. He finished the painting of Ginevra de'Benci.
b. He moved to Florence.
c. He finished drawing an angel in his teacher's painting.
d. He began to learn art from Andrea del Verrocchio.
e. He began to study the dead body.
A．b, c, e, d, a
B．d, b, c, d, e
C．b, d, e, a, c
D．b, e, d, a, c
【5】What can we learn from the last paragraph ______ ？
A．Verrocchio didn't like Leonardo's work.
B．Verrocchio thought Leonardo's work terrible.
C．Verrocchio thought highly of Leonardo's work.
D．Verrocchio didn't believe Leonardo could paint well.
24、 Why are some people successful and others aren't? What's the secret of success?【1】
Many of Gladwell's ideas appear in his social psychology bestsellr Outliers.【2】Gladwell thinks that this is just an excuse for not trying...and if you really want to be good at something. you have to work at it.“Practice isn’t the thing you do once you re good." Gladwell writes.“It's the thing you do that makes you good."
Central to the book is the“10.000-hour rule". It means that if you want to be among the best in the world, you need to practise something for 10.000 hours.【3】For example, the Beatles played live in Hamburg more than 1.200 times between 1960 and 1964. which is more than 10,000 hours of playing time. And when Microsoft chairman Bill Gates was 13, he was given access to a high school computer (one of the few available in the country) allowing him to practise computer programming for more than (Yes, you guessed it) 10, 000 hours.
The interesting thing is that success has nothing to do with intelligence.【4】He's got an IQ of between 195 and 210 (Albert Einstein's IQ was estimated to have been between 160 and 180). As a boy at school, Langan was able to take an exam in a foreign language he d never studied and pass it after just skim-reading a text book for three minutes. However, Langan never graduated from university and worked in labour-intensive jobs his whole life. This proves that intelligence alone will not lead to success- you need hard work, support, finance and opportunities. Gladwell adds,“No one一not rock stars, not professional athletes, not software billionaires, and not even geniuses一ever makes it alone."
【5】Even after you've put in your 10.000 hours of practice, you still need one other key ingredient - - luck. So, you could be the most amazing guitarist in the world. but unless you re lucky enough to play in front of a record company executive who sees a way of exploiting that talent, you aren't going to be seeing your name in lights.
A.It isn't just a question of time and support.
B.Author Malcolm Gladwell thinks he knows.
C.That's equal to three hours a day for 10 years.
D.Of course, many people argue that you can create your own“'luck".
E.The popular view is that some of us are born talented and others aren't.
F.Take the example of Christopher Langan, who's mentioned in the book.
G.Someone who's willing to practise something for 10.000 hours is probably active.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
18-year-old Paul often visited his 80-year-old grandma Edith. He’d start his day early and leave for his grandma’s house first in the morning.
Because his family was poor, Paul walked nearly six miles daily to see Edith, bringing her breakfast and chatting with her. Edith lived alone and didn’t want to move out of her beloved house to live with Paul’s family.
She was touched by Paul’s care for her. And she decided she’d pass her house and heirloom(传家宝)jewelry down to him when she died.
Sixty-year-old Stephen was Edith’s neighbour. Whenever he saw Paul came, he’d sit silently near his motorbike in his yard and listen to them chatting joyfully. It often reminded him of his only grandchild, who was lost in an accident with his parents on his birthday. After that, Stephen lived alone. He felt an unusual affection for Paul.
One day, on his way to Edith’s house, Paul saw Stephen struggling to move his motorbike. He rushed to help him. “Thank you,son,” Stephen said. “Do you live nearby? I often see you here.”
After Paul explained, Stephen was shocked that Paul would walk so far daily. Then Stephen took out the keys to the motorbike, which he had planned to give to his grandchild as a birthday gift. “Here! I was planning to sell it. Now, I decide to give it to you for free,” Stephen said. Paul refused, but he insisted.
Paul gratefully took the keys and further chatted with Stephen. He learned Stephen lived a poor life and made a living by driving tourists around using his own car. The car was old. He guessed it would be useless in a year or two.
After chatting, Paul went to visit his grandmother. When he left, he waved at Stephen as he rode past his house. The following day, Paul reached Edith’s house earlier by motorbike. He was shocked when finding his grandma lying on the floor in a dead faint. He immediately called an ambulance.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

“If you had arrived five minutes late, you could have lost her,” the doctor told Paul.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Days later, Paul bought Stephen a new car by selling the jewelry from his late grandma.
