Did you know the meaning of a word may change over time？Many English words we know now had different meanings a long time ago．One example is the word nice．Around the year l 300，nice was first used in English to mean"stupid"．Two hundred years later，nice began to carry a"better"meaning．If people said a book was written nicely，they meant the book was written"clearly"or"carefully"，not"stupidly"．After l800，nice began to take its meaning like"kind"or"friendly"．Since then，people have thought of nice as a word with good meanings．
A good change of a word's meaning like this example of nice is called AMELIORATION．Though we don't use nice to mean"stupid"any more，it is fun to know how much a word's meaning can change from its start!
*For more examples of AMELIORATION，see next page．

46.1300years ago，a"nice person"was believed to beC．
A．careful    B．friendly    C．foolish  D．clever
47．What is the second paragraph mainly about？D
A．What nice used to mean．
B．Why the meaning of nice changed．
C．How long nice has been used？
D．How the meaning of nice changed over time．
48．AMELIORATION means a word's meaningB
A．can change from its start
B．changes from bad to good
C．changes from good to bad
D．remains the same over a long time
49．Which of the following is most likely to appear on the  next page？A
A．The word terrific used to mean"terrible"，but now it means"excellent"．
B．The word silly used to mean"happy"，but now it means"stupid"．
C．You may wonder why a word's meaning changes over time．

17．A staycation is a vacation when you do not travel at all．Some people use a staycation to just stay at home，and others prefer to experience the attractions around them without traveling very far．
There are many choices for staycations．Any town or city has plenty of choices for things to do if you know where to look．If the weather is nice，you can visit the local gardens or forests for a hike．You can look online for several historic places and create your own history tours．Of course，you can also visit other attractions in the areas like museums，restaurants，bars，parks，beaches，and so on．Often，if you drive just a few hours，you can find a city that you can walk around and see．Then by driving home you can save the cost of a hotel and a plane ride．
Others take the term"staycation"word for word and do not leave their houses at all．Some choices for this can include taking time off to cook a great meal and enjoy it together or spending all day at a pool．
Just as a coin has two sides，staycation has its advantages as well as disadvantages．
Since you are not traveling or staying in a hotel，a staycation can be unbelievably costeffective（低成本的）．You don't have to pay for a hotel，so that cost has been completely  eliminated．You are also saving by not driving very far and by not taking an airplane anywhere．Travel costs have become really high，and the farther you go，the higher they are．By staying close to home，you cut that cost by quite a bit．You are also pushing money back into your local economy（经济）by spending your money at local businesses rather than in cities that are far away from home．Finally，any stress that you feel with travel，whether that is from driving long distances or looking for an airport，will completely disappear．

59．For what purpose is the text written？A
A．To introduce the general information of staycatons．
B．To compare staycatons with other vacations．
C．To persuade more people to have staycations．
D．To provide different ways of staycations．
60．What is one of the advantages of a staycation？D
A．The economy in other cities is also improved．
B．People spend nothing when staying at home．
C．You can visit local attractions for free．
D．There is no stress from traveling．
61．What does the underlined word"eliminated"in Paragraph 5probably means？B
A．included         B．removed
C．covered          D．raised
62．What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph？B
A．When to take a staycation．
B．What disadvantages a staycation has．
C．Why people prefer a staycation．
D．How to have a staycation safely．
14．You are from a middle class family，and live in a normal size home without any showy possessions，but you are surrounded by surprising consumption（消费）．This contrast is beginning to bother your 6-year-old son．You are worried that he will want to live as they do，and wonder if you should move．
    Sometimes big pocket money，joyful birthday parties，special playrooms and super-big houses tell you that your neighbors probably have more money than you do，and that they're not as careful as you are with money，but you may find that they cook and dig in the garden with their children just as often as you do，talk with them as freely and read to them every night．
    Or you may find that some of these parents stay in one wing of their big house while children play by himself，way off in a wing of his own．In that unfortunate case，he is basically growing up alone without being looked after properly，but this can happen to a child who lives in a normal-size house，too，if he has a TV a computer and a few video games in his room．Even the most caring parent doesn't walk in and out of it to see what show her child is watching，what Internet site he has found and if he's playing that video game．
    Too much uncontrolled screen then may lead to a certain loss of innocence（天真），and if it doesn't，you might decide to move．Don't judge your neighbor too harshly（严厉地），though．There're some things that are right with almost any neighbor and some things that are wrong with the best of them-like those super-big houses．The wealth of their owners-and the way they throw money around-may make your son feel sorry for himself，unless you help him understand that you and his dad save some of the money，give some to people who don't have enough and use the rest to pay for whatever the family needs．
    Children want-should be provided with-explanations when their parents don't give them what they want．

1．Linguistic（语言学的） Puzzles
         How did language begin？What was the world's first language？Do all languages come from one，original language？（71）E．
         In the 4th century BC，the Greek historian Herodotus wrote this account：Psamtik I an Egyptian King，wanted to find out what the oldest language in the world was（72）B．．He told his servant to find two newborn babies．When the servant had found them，the king gave them to a shepherd （牧羊人） and said，"Keep these babies with the goats．Take care of them，but do not talk to them．Listen for any words that they say．"The king wanted to find out what language the children would speak if they were left alone．He said，"The first words they speak will come from the original language of the world．"
（73）F． He told the king．who asked his scholars about this word．They told him that the Phiygians，who lived in an area which is now Turkey，called bread"becos．"The king said，"Then Phiygian is the oldest language．"Today we know that the king's conclusion was wrong．We don't know why the children said"becos"．
（74）A．Scholars discovered that many European and southern Asian languages belonged to the same"family"and that they started from the same parent language，Proto-Indo-European．Linguists think that it had split into several different languages，including Greek and Sanskrit，between 2000 and 1000 BC．Other languages，such as English and Spanish，developed from later splits．

B．He was talking about this problem with his scholars when he had an idea
C．The King was very kind to his servant and his servant remained royal to him
D．Linguists are the scholars who are very interested in categorizing the language families
E．People have been trying to find the answers to these questions for more than 2，000 years
F．One day，while the babies were babbling to each other，the shepherd heard them say"becos"
G．Linguists have classified many language families，and they are still trying to categorize others．
11．Captain James Cook was a great explorer．Before he started exploring，maps of the Pacific Ocean were almost empty．He visited hundreds of islands across the Pacific Ocean and put them in the correct places on the map．He made maps of the coastlines of Australia and New Zealand．James Cook was born in England in 1728．His parents were poor farm workers．When James was 18，he found a job on a coastal ship．He worked on the ship until he was 27years old，and then he joined the navy．He fought in Canada in a war against France，and he mapped some of the eastern coasts of Canada．In 1768King George made him Captain of a ship and sent him to the Pacific．He was gone for nearly three years．When he returned，he was regarded as a national hero．
He started his third voyage in 1776．On this trip he visited Hawaii．He was the first European to set foot on this beautiful island．Then he mapped the western coast of North America．After that he returned to Hawaii．Unfortunately there was some trouble between the Hawaiians and the white men and they started fighting．In the end Captain was killed in a clash with the local．

16．In China，chain restaurants-especially the big multinational ones-are cool．Going to Starbucks，for example，is a status symbol．It not only says，"I'm rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee，"but also，"I'm cosmopolitan （见多识广的） enough to be part of globalization．"
Where I come from in the UK，however，chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet（美食的）．Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere else is open，or when you are 5years old and your parents can't stand hearing，"I'm huuuuuungry!"any longer．In my own case （with regards to McDonald's），a chain is where you are taken on your first"date"．Even at the age of 13，I knew to give the guy the"let's just be friends"phone call the next day．
In the UK，independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene．Nowadays，a Londoner who says"let's meet for a coffee at Monmouth"（an independent cafe） is much cooler than one who says"let's go to Starbucks"．Even if Monmouth's coffee is a little more expensive，there's a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren't going straight to the big corporations．
Of course，there are chain stores all over the UK； you can't go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee．But numbers do not add up to good taste．
I do，however，have a confession （坦白）．After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much．I，too，have retreated  to McDonald's．

24．Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants becauseC．
A．the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture
B．the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants
C．they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status
D．these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date
25．Which of the following statements is TRUE？C
A．The author has grown tired of Chinese food．
B．Branches of Monmouth's cafe can be found all over the UK．
C．Most independent stores are closed on New Year's Day in the UK．
D．It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant．
26．We can infer from the article thatD．
A．the author doesn't like food from Pizza Hut
B．the author doesn't like to follow fashion trends
C．many Britons think that numbers mean poor quality
D．many Britons don't like big corporations
27．What does the underlined word （in the last paragraph） mean？D
A．adapted         B．contributed
