【题目】Man has a big brain. He can think, learn and speak. Scientists once thought that men are different from animals because they can think and learn. They know that animals can learn—dogs, rats, birds can learn. So scientists are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. Animals cannot speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry, or unhappy. Apes（猿） can understand some things more quickly than human, one or two have learnt a few words. But they are still different from us. They cannot join words and make sentences; they cannot think like us because they have no language. They can never think about the past or the future.

Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to build a modern world because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five—but no animal learns to speak. How do children learn? What happens when we speak? Scientists do not know.

They only know that man can speak because he has a big brain.

【题目】China is home to the invention of silk and has a long tradition of producing fine materials for clothing. Not all clothing in ancient or contemporary（当代的） China is made of silk, however. In fact, silk was only available to the wealthy classes（阶级） for much of China's history. Until the introduction of cotton during the Ming Dynasty, from the 14th to the 17th century, the poorer classes wore rough clothing made from fibers (纤维).

In ancient China, the tunic（无袖长袍）was particularly popular . Called hanfu（汉服）, both men and women could be seen wearing tunics made of different materials. Women's tunics were long and loose（宽松的）, extending all the way down to their feet and often cinched with a belt or rope to get tighter（紧）. Men's tunics were shorter, usually only extending down to their knees. During the winter, both men and women would wear cotton jackets for warmth. In the winter, men would also wear pants (裤子) or ankle-length skirts into their clothes to keep warm and protect their legs against the cold winter conditions.

Contemporary Chinese clothing is now made of many of the same materials as contemporary clothing found in other countries. Much of the traditional Chinese clothing produced now is made of cotton and silk, but generally contemporary Chinese clothing also contains synthetic (合成的) fibers in with the cotton and silk, such as nylon (尼龙). In addition, linen (亚麻布) is now commonly used in contemporary Chinese clothing, especially during the summer months because it is light and breathable.

【1】In ancient China, only wealthy people could afford clothes made from______.

A. silk B. fiber C. cotton D. linen

【2】Which of the following about hanfu（汉服） is mentioned in the text?

A. It was made from only one material.

B. Men's hanfu was shorter than women's.

C. People didn't wear it until the Ming Dynasty.

D. It was warm enough to help people against cold in the winter.

【3】The underlined word "cinched" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to "___".

A. 悬挂 B. 插入 C. 装饰 D. 拴，绑

【4】What can we know from the text?

A. Linen is only used to make Chinese summer clothing.

B. Nylon was one material for ancient Chinese clothing.

C. Lots of contemporary Chinese clothing is made from synthetic fibers.

D. The materials for contemporary Chinese clothing are produced by other countries.

Recently, as the development of the Internet, there is a kind of language calling Web language. Some people even speak Chinese mixed with English letters. The other day our class had a discussion about if we should welcome the Web language.

Forty percent of the students think it ridiculous. They argue that it does no good helping people communicate, nor is it useful for learning English. Besides, it’ll make Chinese more standard and pure, finally ruining our mother tongue. However, 60% of our class is fond of it. They think it is simple，convenience and helpful in expressing them. What’s more, it may make the language more interesting.

Personally, it’s not good habit to use the Web language. It may be popular, but you may also make yourself be misunderstood.

Yesterday I was gone home by the bus and my father was going to pick me up at the station. On the bus, I see a young woman with several bags of heavier books get on. I wanted to offer her my seat, and I didn’t. In my surprise, she and I got off at the same stations later. After a short conversation, I learned she had to walk a long way home. So I offered give her a ride and she accepted. When thinking of this experience, I was sad that she didn’t do the right thing the first time on the bus. But I was very happy to have a second chance to doing it.

She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They embraced and kissed, then sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. It read: “Congratulations, darling! I knew you’d get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you.”
