On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky.The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house.
Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before.Each look reminds us where we are.
There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.
Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation.As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple (枫树) makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.
The air is clean and fresh.The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink.Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that.

Part of the reason that English has grown as a world language is that it easily adjusts to (适应) change. However, this means that what one was taught as a child in school may be out of date many years later. When words or phrases change, it can make speakers feel “wrong” because they were taught that something else was “right”.
One example of this is a term connected to school itself. Today, it is common for people to say that they “graduated high school” or college. The word “graduate” has two common meanings. One is to mark off a series. The other meaning is closely related. As you move through school, you cross off a series of achievements: grade school, middle school, high school, and college. So, in a way, school itself is “graduated”.
So, when people used to speak of getting a degree, they said they “graduated from college”. “To graduate college” would have meant to mark it off by year — the first year, the second year etc. Similarly, “to graduate to college” would have meant to complete high school and move up to the next level.
But as happens often in English, when people understand your meaning, smaller words can disappear. “I graduated college” is now easy to say. This may distress people who were taught that you had to use “from” to be correct. But this is not the first time this phrase has been simplified (使简化). It used to be that you said, “I was graduated from college,” instead of, “I graduated from college.”
You can't know what English will keep and what it will lose. Who could imagine that we would still say we “dial” a phone number when we now push buttons on our cellphone Yet we know what it means.
8.What do we know about the word “graduate”?
A.It has two similar meanings.
B.There was a change in its meanings.
C.It had nothing to do with school at first.
D.It got an extra meaning during its development.
9.Which of the following is the newest usage of “graduate”?
A.I was graduated from college.
B.I was to graduate to college.
C.I graduated from college.
D.I graduated college.
10.The underlined word “distress” probably means “________”.
A.change B.correct
C.worry D.hurt
11.What's the best title for the text
A.Right or wrong
B.Words come and go in English
C.English is a very changeable language
D.How should English be taught in school
D

Part of the reason that English has grown as a world language is that it easily adjusts to (适应) change.

When words or phrases change, it can make speakers feel “wrong” because they were taught that something else was “right”.
One example of this is a term connected to school itself. Today, it is common for people to say that they “graduated high school” or college. The word “graduate” has two common meanings.

A.It has two similar meanings.

9.Which of the following is the newest usage of “graduate”?
A.I was graduated from college.

C.I graduated from college.
D.I graduated college.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“what one was taught as a child in school may be out of date many years later”和第二段中的“One example of ... or college.”可知,“I graduated college”是最新的用法。
10.The underlined word “distress” probably means “________”.
A.change B.correct
C.worry D.hurt
解析:选C 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“who were taught that you had to use ‘from’ to be correct”可知,对于那些在学校学的是“I graduated from college”的人来说,他们认为“I graduated college”是错误的说法,然而现在人们却经常这样说,这让他们感到忧虑。故distress和worry意思相近。
11.What's the best title for the text
A.Right or wrong
B.Words come and go in English
C.English is a very changeable language
D.How should English be taught in school
解析:选B 标题归纳题。文章第一段点出英语在发展变化,第二至四段举例说明graduate一词的用法,最后一段中的“You can't know what English will keep and what it will lose.”更是点出文章的主旨。故B项作标题贴切。

17.选F 根据本段第一句“You will want to take notes ...”及后面的句子可知,该空是指你也想有自己独特的记笔记的方式。且选项F中的关键信息“will also want to”和第一句中的“will want to”一致,故选F项。
18.选E 根据selective process(选择性的过程)可知此处是说,你首先要决定哪些是重要的,需要记录的,哪些是不太重要的。这是一个选择的过程。E项中的that指代的就是上一句里的selective process,故选E项。
19.选A 前后都是记录过程中的技巧,A项也是其中一个,即用单词记录,而不是用完整的句子。故选A项。
20.选G 根据上一句“... you understand your symbols and that you use them all the time(你要理解你使用的那些符号而且要一直使用它们)”,可知选G项(要不然之后你可能就读不懂自己的笔记了),承接上句的结果。
