任务型阅读。阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,完成表格。(请填写关键信息)      A spoken language is like a person: it grows and changes. One way its changes is by adding new words
and phrases, usually through borrowing. Just as someone borrows a pencil from a classmate in order to
finish work, languages borrow words from other languages in order to fill what is called a "word gap". A
word gap happens when a language has no term, synonym, or easy translation for an object or activity.
One way a language finds something to fill a word gap is to borrow a word from another language. Unlike
a person, language never really returns words to their starting place. Instead, the words remain and become
part of the borrowing language. We see this borrowing course at work in English in different ways and for
different reasons.
       English, like any other language, will probably continue to borrow words from other languages as long
as it continues to change — in other words, for as long as people continue to speak.

                                                                 150 Years of Cool 
        Look in the bedrooms of young people around the world. You will probably find a pair of blue jeans in
each room. Jeans are very popular all over the world. 
       Jeans give you the feeling of comfort, youth and energy. They have long been liked by every person.
       Levi Strauss is an American company. It first made blue jeans. The company was founded in 1853 by
24-year-old Levi Strauss. Twenty years later, he made the first blue jeans in the world. The jeans were used
as working trousers for the cowboys of the American West. During the Second World War, American soldiers
brought blue jeans to Europe and Asia. People there began to wear jeans. Little by little, they become cool.
        People from different countries like different styles of jeans. Americans like to wear simple and single-
colored jeans, but many Chinese like to wear jeans with lots of different colors.
       Jeans now can be seen everywhere. However, in many places, it"s not always good to wear jeans. No
matter how good they may look, or what color they are, it"s often not right to wear jeans in formal places. But,
when you are out, relaxing and having fun, jeans are the best choice.

         Can a star basketball player also be a star hip-hop singer? If you ask Shaquille O"Neal and some of his
NBA fellows, they"ll say "Sure".
         In the NBA, hip-hop music is as common as the jump shot. Hip-hop is similar (相似的) to rap (说唱)
music and is especially popular with young African Americans. This music is played before basketball games
or during halftime. Many of the players, like Shaquille O"Neal of the Los Angeles Lakers, write rap rhymes
when they travel on airplanes from one city to another. 
         The NBA has a closer connection to hip-hop than any other sports league. This is partly because of the
large number of African-American players, but also because the basketball league just loves hip-hop. Every
February, the NBA invites popular rap singers to perform (表演) at its All-Star weekend.
         When they play basketball, some of the younger stars even try to look like hip-hop singers. Like rap
stars, they don"t smile in photographs and videos. They try to trouble the players on the other team by looking
tough(凶). "Hip-hop is just part of many players"culture (文化) ," says Kerry Kittles, a player on the New
Jersey Neis
team. "All of us grew up listening to rap and playing basketball, and the rappers grew up doing the same thing.
A lot of players want to be rappers, and a lot of rappers would like to be players."
         Master P. is a famous rap star who wants to be a basketball player. The Charlotte Homets and the
Toronto Raptors have invited him to their training camps. They enjoy listening to his music, but many people
think that he is not good enough at basketball to be on an NBA team.
         Shaquille O"Neal, whose nickname is Shaq, is the greatest example of an NBA player who became a
rapper. He has made four successful rap albums. One of his rap songs, "It Was All a Dream," tells how he
felt when he became successful.
1. Why don"t some younger players try to smile or look friendly in photos?
[     ]
A. They try to trouble the players on the other team.
B. They try to look like hip-hop singers.
C. They try to be successful in their playing.
D. They try to pretend (假装) to be famous.
2. The song "It Was All a Dream" expresses ___________.
