【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文中主要講述了cool的意思的延展歷史，舊時cool表示溫度有點冷，到后來“酷”可以用來表達幾乎所有感興趣的東西，通過講述一個小故事來證明，沒有“酷”，一些人就沒有言語能表達同樣的意思。

【小題1】C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Cool”is a word with many meanings．可知，“Cool”有許多意思，故選C。

【小題2】B詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“Cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything可知，這里推知顯示，故選B。

【小題3】A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything．可知，對某事感興趣，故選A。

【小題4】C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù) On the student’s paper was just the one sentence,“It’s so cool.”But the story also shows a scarcity（缺乏）of words．(一個學生的試卷上只有一個字cool)。有此例子中的學生用cool 一詞概括出他的所有感受，知cool詞義的擴大會導致語言中詞匯的缺乏，是令人擔憂的。故選C。

【小題5】D主旨大意題。根據(jù)結合On the student’s paper was just the one sentence,“It’s so cool.”(一個學生的試卷上只有一個字cool)�？芍�作者的擔心cool詞義的擴大會導致語言中詞匯的缺乏，是令人擔憂的，也就是cool并不像他們表面上那么酷 ，故選D。
