For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding
11、letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from. Sometimes, however, no one
12、 may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English,
13、but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.“ One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like
14、 those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put them between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers“. Today, “hamburgers“ are sold in many countries around the world. Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is very interesting. Knowing why a
15、ny word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. The explanation, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary. 16 According to the author, English is_. （ A） as old as Chinese （ B） older than German （ C） not so old as Chinese （ D） very difficult to learn 17 Hamburg is_. （ A

17、author, which of the following can often be found in any large English dictionary? （ A） Where all the new words come from. （ B） Where those Germans came from. （ C） The reason why a word has a certain meaning. （ D） The reason why English is spoken around the world. 20 According to the story, the word
18、 “hamburger“ comes from_. （ A） China because it has a long history （ B） England because Germans dont speak good English （ C） the round pieces of beef which those people from Hamburg were eating （ D） English speakers because they always create new words 21 In the world in which we live today, a man m
19、ay be one thing but appear to be another. This was impossible in Indian society. An Indians name told the world what he was-a coward, a liar, a thief, or a brave. When I was young, every Indian had at least three names during his lifetime. His first name was given to him at birth. It described somet
20、hing that had happened at that time. Each Indian was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn money for himself. But his friends would always give him a name of their own. No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the name they had chosen. The Indi
21、an earned his real name when he was old enough for his first fight against the enemy. His life name depended on how he acted during this first battle. When he returned he would be given his tribal name by the chief. If he had done well, he would be given a good name. But if he had done poorly, he mi
22、ght be given a bad name. A man was given many chances to improve his name, however. If in a later battle he was very brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a better name. Some Indians had as many as twelve names - all good and each better than the last. All names given to one Indian belon
23、ged to him for the rest of his life. No one else could use them. Even he himself could not give them away. This was because no man could pass on his name unless the chief and the tribe asked him to do so. 21 According to the passage, Indian names were important because they _. （ A） described the cha
24、racter of a man （ B） told us his profession （ C） were never used by other people （ D） described the appearance of a man 22 _ gave the second name of an Indian. （ A） The chief （ B） The tribe （ C） His childhood friends （ D） His parents 23 According to the fourth paragraph, we know an Indians “tribal n
25、ame“ refers to his _. （ A） first name （ B） second name （ C） nickname （ D） life name 24 An Indian could get better names if he _. （ A） did well in later battles （ B） got old enough （ C） became a coward （ D） became a liar 25 The sentence in the sixth paragraph “no one could pass on his name“ may mean
26、that _. （ A） no one could change his name by himself （ B） no one could give his name to a son （ C） no one could give his name away （ D） no one could give up his name 26 How can we get rid of garbage (垃圾 )? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs? These are two important ques
27、tions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the time it can save the land to hold garbage. For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped (倾倒 ) it on empty land. No
28、w, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas, but they are chemically similar to these fossil (化石 ) fuels. As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might b
29、e able to use garbage as an energy source. (79) Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some citys in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nea
30、rby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the citys garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil. (80) Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might
31、be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth. 26 What two problems can man solve by burning garbage? （ A） The shortage of energy and air pollution. （ B） The shortage of energy and the land to ho
