8、he year was (22) to begin. I decided to stay and see (23) would happen. A salesman began to pile (24) of things on the shelves such as table-lamps, clocks, combs and a large quantity of small packets (25) in bright paper. When the man at the table was (26) that a large crowd of peo pie had gathered,
9、 he began handing out the packets, asking for the sum(金额) of three pence (27) , and declaring the (28) of the contents was fifty times as much.I paid three pence for my packet and was (29) told I should not open it until after the sale. All these beautiful things the man announced, would be simply (
10、30) . He was as good as his (31) , for he held up a razor(剃刀) and asked a young man if it was (32) six pence. The young man was (33) the matter and was at once handed the razor for the sum asked. (34) happened with a number of other small articles.Then (35) asking small sum like six pence, the man b
11、egan to (36) large amounts (数量)for “very rare, high-quality“ objects. The people (37) , thinking that these too were being “given away“, soon found themselves (38) a great deal for useless things.

15、 them. To the surprise of this passenger the car did not slow down. Suddenly the passenger was thrown forward in the car as the driver stopped it at the last minute. The car stopped in time. “Sorry,“ said the driver, “I didnt notice the light. I thought it was green until 1 saw that it was the top l
16、ight which was shining. I am color blind, I cant see red colors as you can.“This strange story is quite true. In fact about ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way, women are luckier-only about one in two hundred is affected like this. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be d
17、riven by a woman!Color blindness can be dangerous. For example, when fighting in the woods at night soldiers use lights to signal to each other. A green light may mean “advance“ and a red light may mean“ Danger! keep back!“ You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green !Birds and
18、 animals which hunt at night can not see colors. As far as we know, bats can not see colors at all-only light and dark shapes. The eyes of some insects are very strange. They have thousands of little “eyes“ all joined together. Insects can see ultra-violet rays (紫外线) which are invisible to us, and s
19、ome of them can even see X-rays. Indeed, scientists know that there are other colors around us which insects can see but we can not.One scientist experimented with some ants which normally keep their eggs in the dark. When he put their eggs in the sunlight, the ants quickly dragged them into a dark
20、place. The eggs were then put in different colored rays of light, when the scientist shone an ultra-violet ray on the eggs, then ants quickly dragged them into the red light, thinking that it was dark- ness. Some insects have favourite colors. Mosquitoes like blue but do not like yellow. A red light
21、 will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will.In a similar way human beings have favourite colors. Blue is often popular because it is the color of the cool sky and sea. Green is a peaceful color which makes us think of wide fields and forests. Yellow is the cheerful color of the sun. On the other
22、 hand, red is the Colorof blo, d and fire. It makes some people think of accident, danger and blood. Black is the col- or of night. In the dark we cannot see what is around us, so we are sometimes afraid of the unknown and so not like black as a color. Perhaps that is why it is often the color of sa
23、dness. Yet we are lucky. We can see many beautiful colors by day, and we can see shapes but not color at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.（分数：12.00）(1).From the story at the beginning of the passage we know it is dangerous for a driver_.（分数：3.00）A.to see red
24、 traffic lightsB.not to notice the traffic lightsC.to be color blindD.not to see the red traffic lights(2).The passage mainly about_.（分数：3.00）A.color and its surprising effectB.the eyes of likely thingsC.danger caused by color blindnessD.color blindness and color preference(3).If a soldier took a re
25、d light for a green light he probably would_.（分数：3.00）A.be left behind aloneB.advance alongC.go with the othersD.stop(4).The reason for some ants to keep their eggs in the dark is_.（分数：3.00）A.that it is cooler thereB.that they do not like sunlightC.not mentioned in the passageD.that they like red li
26、ghtBThe word “Okay“ is known and used by millions of people all over the world. Still, language experts do not agree on where it came from.Some say it came from the Indian peoples. When Europeans first came to America they heard hundreds of different Indian languages. Many were will developed.One tr
27、ibe especially had a well developed language. This was the Chocktaw tribe. They were farmers and fishermen whole lived in the rich Mississippi valley in what is now the state of Alabama. When problems arose, Chocktaw leaders discussed them with the tribal chief. They sat in a circle and listened to
28、the wisdom of the chief.He heard the different proposals, often raising and lowering his head in agreement, and saying, “Okeh,“ meaning “it is so.“The Indian languages have given many words to English. Twenty four of the American States almost half, have Indian names, Okalahoma, the Dakotas, Idaho,
29、Wisconsin, Ohio and Tennessee, to name a few. And the names of many rivers, streams, mountains, cities and towns are Indian.However, there are many people who dispute the idea that “Okay“ came from the In di ans. Some say the President Andrew Jackson first used the word “Okay.“ Others claim the word
30、 was invented by John Jacob Astor, a fur trader of the late 1700s who became one of the worlds richest men. Still others say a poor railroad clerk made up this word. His name was Obadiah Kelly and he put his initials(首写字母), O.K. on each package people gave him to ship by train.So it goes, each story
31、 sounds reasonable and official.But perhaps the most believable explanation is that the word “Okay“ was invented by a political organization in the 1800s. Martin Van Buren was running for President. A group of people organized a club to support him. They called their political organization the “Okay
32、 Club. The letters “O“ and “K“ were taken from the name of Van Burens hometown, the place where he was born, old Kinderhook, New York.There is one thing about “Okay“ that the experts do agree on: that the word is pure American and that it has spread to almost every country on earth.There is somethin
33、g about the word that appeals to peoples of every language. Yet, here in America it is used mostly in speech, not in serious writing. In recent time, “Okay“ has been given an official place in the English language. But it will be a long time before Americans will officially accept two expressions th
34、at come from “Okay.“ There are “Oke“ and “Okeydoke“.（分数：12.00）(1)._different opinions as where the word “Okay“ came from are mentioned in the text.（分数：3.00）A.FourB.FiveC.sixD.Three(2).Which of the following statements about “Okay“ is right, according to the text?（分数：3.00）A.It is borrowed from the co
35、untry of India.B.It is accepted as an official word by most countries in the world.C.Though somewhat welcomed by people from every country, it is limited to speech in most cases in its birth place.D.It has many different meanings.(3).The writer believes that_.（分数：3.00）A.serious writers would rather
36、not use the word “Okay“B.the word is invented by a political organizationC.the word is absolutely an American inventionD.the word was first used by the Indians(4).The 5th paragraph is written in order to prove that_.（分数：3.00）A.almost half of the states once belonged to the IndiansB.the Indian langua
37、ge is well developedC.the first settlers not only seized the land of the Indians but also borrowed the word “Okay“ from themD.there is some truth in the story that the word came from the Indian languageCA young pair of pandas is expected to settle in their new home in the Atlantas Zoo to- morrow, ti
38、le Beijing Youth Daily reported yesterday.Born in the Chengdu Panda Breeding Base, the two, named Jiu Jiu and Hua Hua, will .spend the next 10 years in the United States.
