阅读理解     How words came into being is unknown.All we assume(推测)is that some early men invented certain
sounds，in one way or another，to express thoughts and feelings，actions and things，so that they
could talk with each other.Later they agreed upon certain signs，called letters，which could be put
together to show those sounds，and which could be written down.Those sounds，whether spoken or
written in letters，are called words.
    The power of words，then，lies in their associations-the things they bring up to our minds.Words
become filled with meaning for us by experience；and the longer we live，the more certain words bring
back to us the happy and sad events of our past；and the more we read and learn，the more the
number of words that mean something to us increases.
    Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words
which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings.This clever use of words is what we call literary
style(文体). Above all，the real poet is a master of words.He can express his meaning in words which
sing like music，and which by their position and association can move men to tears.We should therefore
learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly，or they will make our speech silly and
common.

1. We learn from the text that language might have begun with ________.

A. expressions
B. actions
C. signs
D. sounds

2. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?

A. The learning of new words.
B. The importance of old words.
C. The relation of human experience with words.
D. The gradual change and development of words.

3. In the last paragraph，what does the author suggest that we should do?

A. Use words skilfully.
B. Make musical speeches.
C. Learn poems by heart.
D. Associate with listeners.

阅读理解     I was reading these intriguing stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my
favorite one-it"s so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things.
McDonald"s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my very
favorites.
     Nike
     In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration  for  soldiers. This
logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike"s logo was designed by
Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.
     McDonald"s
     The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler  to  resemble  the  archshaped  signs  on  the  side
  of  the company"s then walkup hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined
together to form the M. The McDonald"s name was added to the logo in 1968.
     Apple
     There  are  different  stories  behind Apple"s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious
story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year
later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir
Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn"t stay long. One year later it was replaced
almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff"s "rainbow apple", a rainbowcolored silhouette(轮廓)
of an  apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbowcolored apple was replaced by the
onecolored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.
     Mercedes Benz
     The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a
simple description of a threepointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The
company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Marcedes is the name of Maybach"s
elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie. and DMG in 1926.
     Adidas
     The  Adidas  logo, which  was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents
mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo
was used for the first time in 1967.

1. What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?

A. They are boring.
B. They are out of date.
C. They are attractive.
D. They are practical.

2. What does Nike"s logo stand for?

A. The goddess of victory.
B. The source of inspiration for soldiers.
C. The statue of the Greek goddess.
D. The wing of the Greek goddess.

3. We can learn that Apple"s present logo is ________.

A. the religious story of Adam and Eve
B. a bitten apple with only one color
C. Newton"s sitting under an apple tree
D. the rainbowcolored bitten apple

4. Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos?

A. Mercedes Benz-McDonald"s-Nike-Apple
B. Nike-McDonald"s-Apple-Mercedes Benz
C. McDonald"s-Apple-Nike-Mercedes Benz
D. Nike-Mercedes Benz-McDonald"s-Apple

      How much do you know the development of the newspaper? Before the first century, there was no
newspaper at all in the world. The news was spread only by mouth. And later, people began to write
newspapers. But the first newspapers were written by hand and put up on the walls in public places. The
first daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. Europe didn"t have regularly published newspapers
until 1609, when one was started in Germany.
     The first regularly published newspaper in English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In the
next year, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily
English newspaper was the Daily Courant. It came out in March 1702.
     In 1609, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was
first published, the government stopped the paper. Five years later, John Com bell started the Boston
newsletter, and the first newspaper was published daily in the American colonies(殖民地).
     By 1765, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1800 daily papers
in the United States.
     Today, newspapers are published everywhere. To many people, they can"t go without reading
newspapers for a day. As a group, however, English language newspapers have the largest circulation
(销售量) in the world. But the largest circulation of a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper
Asihimbun. It sells more than eleven million copies every day. Newspapers are playing an important part
in people"s life.

The name England comes from the words "Angle land". The Angles were people who came from northern Germany in the 5th and 6th centuries, after the Romans had left.The French name for England is Angleterre, which also means "Angle land". There were also invasions (侵略) of southern England by Saxons and Jutes (people from another part of northern Germany). English people are sometimes called AngloSaxons. The Celts who used to live in this area were forced to move back into Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall and into Western France (the area known as Brittany). England at first became a series of kingdoms, the strongest of which was Wessex (the name comes from WestSaxon). The names of many of the areas in England come from this period-for example, the name Sussex comes from SouthSaxon, Essex from EastSaxon, and East Anglia from EastAngle.The Vikings then came from Denmark, and later the Normans invaded from France.Eventually England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland were united, forming the United Kingdom. The English language is the main language spoken throughout England, although there are many different accents.It can be difficult to know how to spell or to pronounce some English words, because the language has been influenced by Latin and Greek (languages used at the time of the Romans, and used in religion and education until recent times), German (the language of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes), French(the language of the Normans), Gaelic/Scots (Celtic languages) and Danish (the language of the Vikings). There are now many people throughout the United Kingdom who speak a foreign language either as their first or second language; mainly due to immigration (移民) from Europe or the Commonwealth (countries which used to be part of the British Empire). 1. According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The Romans were forced to leave England when the Jutes attacked there. B. The Celts used to live in England but left for some reason. C. Southern England once was attacked by Saxons and Jutes. D. Angles and Saxons came from different parts of northern Germany. 2. In the history of England, ________once was the strongest kingdom. A. Sussex B. Wessex C. Essex D. East Anglia 3. Why do many people in the UK speak a foreign language nowadays? A. Because they are required to learn a foreign language at school. B. Because they plan to live outside the UK in the future. C. Because they have moved from other countries. D. Because they have worked in other countries. 4. The author writes this passage to________. A. tell the history of England B. tell how the United Kingdom was formed C. introduce the main spoken language throughout England D. tell the origin of the name of England
