26、st learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed

27、upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations the things they bring up before our minds. Words become fill

28、ed with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increase. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also ex

29、press these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association

30、 can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.（分数：5.00）(1)._ men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions.（分数：1.00）A.Because they wanted to agree on certain signsB.As they needed t

31、o write them downC.Since they wanted to communicate with each otherD.Now that they could combine them(2).Which is true about words?（分数：1.00）A.They are used to express thoughts only.B.They can be spoken, but can not be written down.C.They are simply sounds.D.They are not completely known to the world

32、.(3).Which of the following sentences is true according the passage?（分数：1.00）A.The more we read and learn, the more learned we will become.B.The more we read and learn, the more confused we will grow.C.The more we read and learn, the more honorable we will be.D.The more we read and learn, the more n

33、umbers we know.(4).We can improve our speeches and writings（分数：1.00）A.by using words at randomB.by using words with care and accuracyC.by using beautiful words we likeD.by using words which are grammatically right(5).Which of the following sentences is true according to this passage?（分数：1.00）A.It is

34、 by our experience that words are filled with meaning for us.B.Poets are masters of words but novelists are not.C.As meanings in words sing like music we should learn music in order to be a poet.D.Animals, unlike human beings, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions

35、 and things.BBackground music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the U. S But it is soon spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to go

36、shopping or eat a meal without listening to music. To begin with, “Muzak“ (音乐广播网) was intended simply to create a soothing(起镇静作用 的) atmosphere. Recently, however, it“s become big business because in part of recent research. Dr. Ronald Milliman, an American marketing expert, has shown that music can

37、promote sales or increase factory production by as much as a third. But, it has to be light music. A fast one has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts by 38%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to search for goods they like to buy. Yet, slow

38、music isn“t always the answer. Dr. Milliman found, for example, that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play up tempo music to keep the customers moving unless, of course, the resulting

39、indigestion(消化不良) leads to complaints!（分数：4.00）(1).According to the passage, background music is so widespread because it can _.（分数：1.00）A.help to create a soothing atmosphereB.decrease production in factoriesC.promote sales in all placesD.help to have more meals(2).According to the passage, McDonal

41、mers more time and opportunities to find what they want to buyD.the supermarket will be famous for its slow music(4).From the passage, we know that _.（分数：1.00）A.music can be divided into slow music and fast musicB.whether slow music and fast music is effective or not depends on the backgroundC.music

42、 are always helpful to the overall salesD.without music people have difficulty in shopping and having dinnersCYou want to know where the safest place for young children is in the car? Experts all say the back seat is the safest place for a child of any age. In the back seat, the child is farthest aw

43、ay from the force or effect of a head-on collision (迎头撞击), which can cause the most injuries. Just as important, the child in the back seat is removed from the passenger airbag, if there is any. If your child is under eight years of age and weighs more than 80 pounds, it is necessary to fit your car

44、 with a special child-safety seat. The child-safety seat comes in three types or sizes: The first type is designed for babies from birth to one year of age, until the baby weighs about 20 pounds; the second size is for children between one and four years of age, who weigh between 20 and 40 pounds; t

45、he third kind is used by older children big enough to use the car“s belt system. Moreover, all these safety seats must be fitted and held in place on the car“s back seat. If your child does need your attention while you are driving, don“t look back with only one hand on the wheel. Just pull over.（分数

48、sn“t as good as it ought to be? In the past, when things were made by hand, it seems there was a lot of pride in individual workmanship. People were really proud of things they made. But now, of course, individuals don“t make things. Most things are made on assembly lines and one person only has a v

49、ery small part in putting something together so there isn“t any workmanship any more. A good example of this is a friend of mine, Mary. She bought a toaster last summer at a sale. She used it, I guess, pretty often, but she only had it a couple of months when suddenly the plastic base of the toaster cracked wide open, and at the same time the heating system in the toaster burned out. She took it back to the store, but the clerk in the store said they would
