One of the most interesting of all studies is the study of words and word origin (来源). Each language is 21of several earlier languages, and the words of a language can sometimes be traced (追溯) back through two or three different languages to their 22. Again, a word from one language may 23into other languages and 24a new meaning. The word “etiquette”, which is of French origin and originally meant a label (标签), 25a sign, passed into Spanish and 26 its original meaning. So, in Spanish, the word “etiquette” today is used to 27 the small paper which a store28 to a suit, a dress or a bottle. The word “etiquette” in French, 29 , gradually developed a different meaning. It30became the custom to write directions on small cards, or “etiquette”, as to how visitors should dress themselves and 31during an important ceremony. 32the word “etiquette” began to mean a system of correct manners for people to follow.33this meaning, the word passed into English.
Consider the word “breakfast”. To fast is to go for some period of time without 34 . Thus in the morning, after many hours 35 the night without food, one 36his fast.
Consider everyday English 37 “Goodbye”. Many, many years ago, people would say to each 38 on parting: “God be with you”. As this was 39 over and over millions of times, it gradually became 40to “Goodbye”.

A
Every once in a while you will read some article about a so-called scholar (学者) discovering material that is supposed to prove that William Shakespeare did not really write the works attributed to him. Many alternative (二者选其一) authors have been suggested – most prominently (突出地), Christopher Marlowe and Francis Bacon. One proponent(支持者) of Bacon as author of Shakespeare’s plays actually looked for words like “fat and lard” and calculated their places in the texts of the plays and then proved that Bacon authored them.
Any schoolboy can see the fallacy (谬误) of such an argument and yet many adult readers of newspaper articles, written by men who have never done any research on Shakespeare, are taken in by the arguments proposed against Shakespeare’s authorship. It is true that we have no manuscripts (手稿) of the plays as they came from Shakespeare’s hand. After all, he wrote the plays to be acted and the actors used the author’s manuscripts. However, almost half the plays appeared in print under the author’s name during his lifetime – which ended in 1616. A few years later, in 1623, two of Shakespeare’s name appeared on the title page. They even go Ben Johnson, Shakespeare’s great rival playwright, to write a poetic introduction for the folio (对开本) volume.
There are other arguments I might present to prove Shakespeare’s authorship. My own argument is simply this, if Shakespeare did not write the plays, it was someone else by the same name.
41. The first paragraph tells us that some so-called scholars ________.
A. have proved that Shakespeare’s works were his own
B. have already proved that Shakespeare’s works were not his own
C. try very hard to prove that Shakespeare’s works were useless
D. try to prove that Shakespeare’s works were not his own
42. Some people suggested that certain writers other than Shakespeare himself were the authors of his plays. One of them did so by_______________.
A. discovering words such as “fat and lard” in Bacon’s plays
B. checking every word in Shakespeare’s works
C. comparing the use of “fat and lard” in Shakespeare’s works with others’
D. examining the whole text of Shakespeare’s works
43. According to the passage, Shakespeare __________.
A. died in1616
B. never had any manuscripts for his plays
C. often wrote plays with Ben Johnson
D. published a great folio volume with 36 plays
44. In his final conclusion, the writer ____________.
A. believes that someone else had written the plays for Shakespeare
B. states that it’s logical that Shakespeare’s plays were written by Shakespeare
C. does not think that Shakespeare could have written all the plays by himself
D. believes that some of Shakespeare’s friends published their own works under the name of Shakespeare
B
The Challenge
Nathan’s second-hand bike was good enough to get him anywhere he wanted to go. Of course, it couldn’t match Tim’s in a normal speed race, but all the fancy gears in the world wouldn’t get you up Black Mountain. The slope was so steep in places that you had to get off your bike and push.
On this particular afternoon, the odds were all on Nathan’s side. For a start, he was stronger. Tim had always been thin, but recently he’d started to grow so fast that his arms and legs were like pieces of spaghetti. As well as being considerably fitter than his friend, Nathan knew the shortcuts up Black Mountain.
So when Nathan accepted the Challenge, he was sure he’d win. He nearly always did, in competitions with Tim. That was what was strange. Tim was so competitive, and yet he wasn’t any good at physical things.
By the time the two boys were three quarters of the way to the top, Nathan was clearly ahead. While the road zigzagged back and forth diagonally up the mountainside, in certain places there were also vertical tracks, where water rushing down the slope in winter had bitten erosion（侵蚀） courses into the soil. These had in turn been so overgrown by bushes and long grass in the spring that they resembled（像）tunnels through the bush. The trick was to know where you could cut off a whole bend in the road by leaving the road and pushing your bike up one of these semi-concealed（半隐蔽）pathways. If you chose the wrong one you’d struggle up for ten minutes and then suddenly reach a dead end. Then there was no alternative but to go back.
45.What did Tim challenge Nathan to do?
A. test who had the fastest bike B. decide who was the most competitive
C. find the secret tracks on the mountain D. race to the top of Black Mountain
46.It was sometimes quicker to use the tracks rather than the road because the
A.tracks were partly hidden B.tracks were easier to ride bikes on
C.road has many bends in it D.road was overgrown after the winter
47.Which of the following advantages did Nathan have over Tim?
A. Nathan had a better bike and knew the shortcuts up the mountain
B. Nathan was fitter and knew the quickest ways up the mountain
C. Nathan was stronger and more competitive than Tim
D. Nathan was stronger and had a better bike
48.The quotation ‘the odds were all on Nathan’s side’ means that
A. Tim would not try very hard in the race
B. Tim had not yet grown as big as Nathan
C. Nathan had a greater chance of winning the challenge
D. Nathan had more friends who thought he would win
C
“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.
Obviously, it is a word-by-word translation of the Chinese greeting with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too astonished to believe her. Therefore, I did a research on . To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “long time no see”. This sentence has been widely used in emails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible place. Though it is informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Ironically (具有讽刺意味地), if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective named Charlie Chan. Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting (引用) Confucius (孔子). “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon this phrase became popular in the real world.
Some people refer America as a huge pot of stew. All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together, and they change the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic (少数民族) group in the USA, is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced (影响) in the mixed stew.
You can have some other examples, such as pizza from Italian, susi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others. They will change it and make it their own, so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant, or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a store. Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way, the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor.
49. The writer himself felt surprised at ___________.
A. reading “long time no see”
B. knowing the phrase is standard American English
C. seeing the translation of the Chinese greeting
D. finding out Americans use the phrase every day
50. The underlined word “trademark” in the third paragraph means ___________.
A. design of some goods
B. Confucius’ words
C. Charlie Chan’s creation
D. Charlie Chan’s representative
51. The main idea of the last paragraph is that ____________.
A. some other examples are introduced into English
B. you will not be surprised to find a lot of foreign food in a restaurant in the USA
C. there are more and more Chinese words in American English because Americans appreciate Chinese culture
D. American English should be enriched from different cultures
52. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Informal language sometimes doesn’t
