Passage 1
How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey 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 accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.
6. The origin of language is _________.
A:a legend handed down from the past
B:a matter that is hidden or secret
C:a question difficult to answer
D:a problem not yet solved
7.What is true about words? _______
A:They are used to express feelings only.
B:They can not be written down.
C:They are simply sounds.
D:They are mysterious.
8. The real power of words consists in their ______.
A:properties
B:characteristics
C:peculiarity
D:representative function
9.By "association" in the last paragraph, the author means ______.
A:a special quality
B:a joining of ideas in the mind
C:an appearance which is puzzling
D:a strange feature
10. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? _________
A:He is no more than a master of words.
B:He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.
C:He can move men to tears.
D:His style is always charming.
Passage 2
For several years,Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries,people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes,jewelry,food,toys,and many other things.
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden,for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries,and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels,and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.
In Germany,until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness,including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities,this is an important reason. But at the same time,other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They can do teleshopping "junk on the air". Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them,and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different
from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person. 11. Teleshopping is cheap in Europe.
A:T
B:F
12.People like teleshopping because it is easier.
A:T
B:F
13.Some Europeans don't like teleshopping because they don't watch TV.
A:T
B:F
14. In Germany,teleshopping may have fewer buyers.
A:T
B:F
15.The best title of this passage is " Teleshopping in Europe" .
A:T
B:F
