Language is always changing and developing. This isn’t a bad thing. If English hasn’t changed for a long time, we won’t have words to【1】telephones, washing machines, computers or some other new things.

Language changes for【2】reasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change. New technologies, new【3】, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly.

On【6】hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words【7】or putting words together and we make them out of proper names.

Languages that don’t change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it is【8】and well.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】B

【4】A

【解析】試題分析：本文敘述了語言總是在發(fā)展變化的，這不是一件壞事。語言變化的原因為，說話者本身變化的需要，以及不同的人有不同的語言經歷。語言變化的方式是：一方面是許多語言變化是從年輕人開始的；另一方面是我們用許多不同的方法獲得新詞。語言不隨著時間而變化，會被認為是死語言。

【1】句意：如果英語長時間不變化我們就不會有描述電話，洗衣機，電腦及其他一些新東西的詞匯。根據(jù)句意此空是“描述”，所以選C。

【2】句意：語言變化是有幾種原因的。根據(jù)句意“幾種”應選several，故選D。

【3】句意：新的科技，新的產品和新的經歷需要新詞匯把它們表達清楚。根據(jù)句意“新科技”應選B。

【4】句意：人們用不同的詞匯和表達方式是因為他們有不同的年齡、工作和教育水平等等。根據(jù)句意是“因為”，故選A。

【5】句意：當年輕人和他們的年齡的人交流時，根據(jù)句意是“交流”，所以應選D。

【6】句意：從另一方面來說，我們用許多不同的方式獲得新詞匯。“從另一方面講”是on the other hand,故選E。

【7】句意：我們通過把單詞變更短或把單詞放在一起來創(chuàng)造它們。根據(jù)句意是“更短”，所以選A。

【8】句意：事實上英語變化這么多說明它是鮮活的和健康的。根據(jù)句意“鮮活的”應選C。

【題目】I remembered Julie coming to the front of the classroom after class one autumn day in September 1976. While most of the other students hurriedly left to enjoy the pleasant weather or to relax at the student union, Julie remained to ask me questions about the next week’s exam. She had clearly already done some serious studying.

Julie never made it to the exam. The day after our conversation, she was hit by a large truck as she rode a bike through a crossroads. I was sad to hear that Julie lay unconscious (昏迷的) in a hospital across town from our university.

Nurses silently came and went from Julie’s room. Her parents stood nearby quietly. Then the doctor entered the room and said to Julie’s parents and two brothers, “Your Julie has only a few hours to live.” He continued to ask, “Would you think about donating some of Julie’s organs (器官)?”

At the same time in a neighboring city, a woman called Mary was trying to see better in her small living room. Her eyes followed every movement of her lively two-year-old baby. This mother was storing up memories when she could no longer see her child. Several cities away, a young father called John was reading to his two sons in the hospital. However, he was told to have only weeks to live. His only hope was a kidney transplant (腎臟移植).

The two parents looked at each other, the doctor could see tears in their eyes. “Yes. Julie had once said she wanted to donate her organs in the event of her death. Julie always gave to others while she was alive. She would like to give in death.”

Within twenty-four hours, Mary was told that she would receive one of Julie’s eyes, and John was told to start preparing for a kidney transplant. Julie’s other organs would give life to other waiting patients.

“Julie died right after her twentieth birthday. Nothing could possibly be as heartbreaking as the death of your child,” says Julie’s mother. She continues, “But Julie’s life was a gift to us. Knowing that in her death, she gave the gift of life and sight to others is comforting to us. ”

【1】Which word can best describe Julie according to Paragraph 1?

A. Hard-working. B. Helpful. C. Clever. D. Selfish

【2】According to the passage, we know that Julie ______.

A. was a classmate of the writer’s

B. was the only child of her family

C. didn’t take the exam because of the accident

D. died immediately at the scene of the accident

【3】The underlined word “comforting ” in the last paragraph means “______”.

A. 安慰的 B. 有害的 C. 有益的 D. 明智的

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Julie’s parents didn’t allow her to donate her organs.

B. Mary needed a kidney transplant to save her own life.

C. Julie prepared for the exam carefully before the accident.

D. John and Mary were patients in the same hospitals with Julie.
