科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2015屆重慶一中高一下期期末考試英語(yǔ)卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

The question this week comes from our listener Herve Acard, who asks about the American word “OK”, which means “all right” or “acceptable”. It expresses agreement or approval. The word is used more often than any other word in the world.

Language expert Allen Walker Read said the word began as a short way of writing a different spelling of the words “all correct”. Old stories say some foreign-born people would write “all correct” as o-l-l k-o-r-r-e-c-t and spoke it as “OK”. Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaws. The Choctaw word “okeh” means the same as the American word “OK”. Experts say early explorers in the Western America spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth century. The language spread across the country.

According to some people, “OK” was a way to shorten Greek words that mean everything is fine. It is also said that a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word. He is said to have put the first letters of his names — O and K — on each object people gave him to place on the train.

Another explanation is that “OK” was invented by a political organization that supported Martin Van Buren for president in the 1800s. They called their organization the OK Club. The letters O and K were taken from the name of the town where Martin Van Buren was born — Old Kinderhook, New York.

Not everyone agrees with these explanations, but experts do agree that the word is purely American and has spread to almost every country on Earth. Yet in the United States, it is used mostly in speech. Serious writers prefer using words, such as “agree”, “approve” or “confirm” instead.

1.Where does the passage probably come from?

A. A newspaper.                                B. A textbook.

C. A radio program.                       D. A language magazine.

2.Of the following origins, which one has the same meaning as the American word “OK”?

A. The OK Club

B. The Choctaw word “okeh”

C. The word invented by Martin Van Buren

D. The short form of “all correct”

3.According to the passage, which statement is NOT true?

A. People disagree about the origin of “OK”.

B. “OK” is often used in formal writing in the USA.

C. The word “OK” is widely used all over the world.

D. Native American language once influenced American English.

Liverpool city council (市政廳) want to clear the city of fat pigeons (鴿子). They say that people are feeding the birds, which makes them fat. The pigeons get bigger because they normally eat seeds (種子) and insects (昆蟲(chóng)) for their main food, not high-fat junk food they are eating in the city centre.

The council want people to know that everyone who feeds the pigeons makes the streets crowded (擁擠)with these birds. They hope to encourage the birds to move away from the city centre and into parks and open spaces.

Ten robotic birds have been brought into the city centre to scare the pigeons away and visitors are asked not to give the pigeons any food. The mechanical birds—known as ‘robops’—will sit on the roofs of buildings. They can be moved around to different places. They look like a peregrine falcon, which is a bird that kills pigeons. They even make noises and flap their wings to scare the pigeons. They hope that the pigeons will go away before the city becomes the European Capital of Culture in two years.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2013屆江西省高二上學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)試題 題型:閱讀理解

Please help! I live in Germany with my wife and three kids. My parents live in the UK. I want my kids to have as much contact with their grandparents as possible. The kids all use e-mail, Skype and SMS but my parents won’t. I’ve bought them a laptop, paid for broadband, given them both mobile phones and a digital camera, but they won’t use them. My parents say they hate computers and new technology. What can I do with these technophobes?

Daniel, Buremburg, Germany

Actually, the original technophobes were the Luddites, a group of cloth workers in 19th century Britain during the Industrial Revolution. The Luddite cloth workers, who traditionally made cloth by hand, were worried that machines were going to take away their jobs and way of life. These machines could make cloth much faster and cheaper than humans. In 1811 and 1812 the Luddites destroyed the machines that they hated so much, but the British government supported the factory owners. Many Luddites were arrested. Charlotte Bronte’s novel Shirley will tell your parents all about it.

Laura, Valencia, Spain

Laura makes some interesting points, I think. Technophobes has been a common theme in science fiction. Frankenstein, one of the first science fiction, is a warning of what could happen if humans began to experiment with human life.

Freda, Copenhagen, Denmark

One thing you could try is to find hardware that is designed for older people to use. An example is the mobiles made by the US company, Jitterbug. Instead of icons and menus the Jitterbug phones ask users simple “yes/no” questions and have larger keypads. The company realized that there are potentially 100 million older users in the US alone.

Graham, Patras, Greece

1.The underlined part “the technophobes” in the passage refers to ______.

A. those who are ready to try new technology 

B. those who are addicted to the Internet

C. those who refuse to use modern technology 

D. those who are devoted to inventing new things

2.Which of the following is TRUE of the Luddites?

A. They called themselves the technophobes.  

B. They got full support from their factory owners.

C. They preferred to keep their traditional working methods.

D. They were killed by the government.

3.Who has put forward a practical and useful suggestions?

A. Laura.             B. Freda.           C. Daniel.          D. Graham.

4.The passage is probably taken from _____.

A. a personal blog                        B. a letter between friends    

C. a personal diary                       D. a speech on new technology

5.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Daniel would buy her parents a novel written by Shirley.

B. Charlotte Bronte wrote about technophobes in her novel Shirley.

C. Daniel would buy her parents cell phones with icons and menus.

D. Daniel worried about her children using e-mails.
