However, back in the late 12th century, if someone said you were “nice”, it was far from saying good words about you. Very long ago, “nice” was used to mean “foolish” and “stupid”. That sounds more like the kind of words that would start a fight, not put a smile on someones face. Later on in the 13th century, nice” came to mean “shy and nervous”. During the 14th century, it even meant “being careful”. But finally in the 18th century, it changed to the kinder meaning we know today, and ever since then, people have been using it in a lovable way.Sad All of us get sad from time to time. Its a usual part of life. A loved one passes away. We expect too much progress in an exam. Or the store is out of our favourite drink. These are all things that can make us sad. However, once upon a time, “sad” had a very different meaning. Back in the 14th century, it was the perfect word if you had eaten too much food at dinner. Through the years, the meaning of “sad” changed to “heavy” and then “tired”. Interestingly, when “sad” took on its present meaning, it was actually used instead of “unrot”, an old English word that was the opposite of “rot” that meant “cheerful” or “glad”.Now I know at some point in history, the meanings of some common words that we see every day meant something much different. The English language is developing all the time. （1）When did nice come to mean shy and nervous? A . In the late 12th century.B . In the 13th century.C . During the 14th century.D . In the 18th century.（2）The underlined word these refers to(指代) the following except that _.A . a loved one passes awayB . we expect too much progress in an examC . the store is out of our favourite drinkD . we have eaten too much food at dinner（3）The purpose of the passage is to tell us .

Recently, we did a survey about who we prefer to share worries with. We got different answers. According to the chart, about 71% of the students would like to share their worries with their classmates and friends. It is mainly because they believe that if people are at the same age, they are easy to communicate and understand each other better.About 22% of the students said they would like to share worries with their teachers and parents. According to them, adults are rich in experience, and that they can deal with their problems easily. The rest prefer to keep worries to themselves. As for them, its a struggle to get along well with others, some of them said they didnt want to trust anyone.As far as I am concerned, I am willing to share worries with my best friends because theyre always kind and understanding. However, if I meet with some serious problems, Ill be likely to ask my parents and teachers for help, who, I believe, have more experience to give me valuable advice.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容判斷正誤。（1）The survey is about who students prefer to share worries with. （2）Most students would like to share worries with their classmates and friends. （3）Some students would like to share worries with their teachers and parents because they are easy to communicate. （4）No students keep worries to themselves according to the survey. （5）Jay will ask his parents and teachers for help if he meets with some serious problems. 14. （10分） The London EyeThe London Eye was opened on New Years Eve in 1999 to celebrate the Millennium (千禧年).

You turn around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!Parapsychologists(靈學家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a six sense really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist（心理學家） at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments. In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects (受試者) were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they being stared at and when they werent. Baker found the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they werent. Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.（1）Whats the aim of the two experiments for? A . Prove why humans have a sixth sense.B . explain when people can have a sixth senseC . show how people act while being watched in the lab.D . study whether humans can sense when they are stared at.（2）What sense does parapsychologists say that humans have? A . A natural abilityB . A natural staring abilityC . A strange thinkingD . A looking feeling（3）The underlined word outcome in the last paragraph most probably means? A . ValueB . ResultC . PerformanceD . Connection（4）What can we learn from the passage? A . People are born with a sixth sense.B . the experiments support parapsychologists idea.C . the subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.D . people have a sixth sense in all places.四、 翻譯。 (共1題；共4分)16. （4分）你的電話號碼是多少，Kate?_ _ _ _，Kate?五、 短文填空。 (共1題；共10分)17. （10分）先閱讀短文，掌握其大意，然后從方框給的詞中選出最恰當?shù)?0個，并用其適當形式填空，每個詞只限用一次。leaf, then, large, learn, ones, grow, thick, has, mean, first, easy, beginEverybody likes oranges.

More and more people speak the three most common languages: English, Spanish, and Chinese. As a result, local languages are being forgotten. In many parts of the world, grandparents speak a language that their grandchildren do not understand. Because these local languages arent taught to children or spoken at home, they are slowly disappearing（消失）。A language is said to be in trouble when less than 30 percent of local children speak it. It is considered a dying language. If children no longer learn to use a language, it will have fewer and fewer speakers over time and after a long time the language will be gone.Why should we keep languages alive? Languages show how a culture understands or explains the world. You need to look at different kinds of languages, because no one language gets it all, said researcher Dr. Linda Cumberland who is working to save Assiniboine, a Native American language.According to Dr. Cumberland, a dying language needs a dictionary and people to understand and record its grammar. More importantly, you need to listen to those who still speak the language. This can be very difficult, especially if there are very few speakers of the language left. For example, when researchers were working to save the language Ayapaneco in Mexico, it was hard for them to record anything. Why? The last two people on Earth who could speak the language declined to speak to each other.（1）Why are local languages being spoken less and less? A . Because people who know the languages speak to each other less and less.B . Because people prefer to learn and speak more common languages.C . Because children dont talk much to their grandparents.D . Because people use computers to communicate now.（2）When is a language considered to be in trouble? A . When it is only spoken by local people.B . When no dictionaries record its grammar.C . When about 50 percent of local people speak it.D . When fewer than 30 percent of local children speak it.（3）Which of the following is TRUE about Dr. Linda Cumberland? A . She does some research on local languages.B . She prefers to speak more common languages.C . She once worked to save the language Ayapaneco in Mexico.D . She doesnt think a dictionary is necessary for a dying language.（4）What does the underlined word declined mean in the last paragraph? A . Expected.B . Decided.C . Refused.D . Forgot.七、 補全對話。 (共2題；共10分)19. （5分）在空白處填入適當?shù)木渥樱箤υ捦暾?A: _?B: I think it is China. I really hope to visit it one day. A: _?B: Its hard to explain why China is my dream place.
