II. Choose the proper words in the box to complete the following passage. Each can be used only once (选择最恰当的选项填入空格。每空格限填一词，每词只能填一次)
(本大题共 8 题，每题 1 分，共8 分，每题只有一个正确选项)
Is a Tomato a Fruit or a Vegetable?
A．consists of B．simple C． produce D．as well as E. difficult
There’s no doubt that tomatoes have many different uses. They can be used in a
summer salad or to make a tasty sauce. But is the tomato a fruit? Or are we eating a vegetable?
Farmers, cooks and lawyers all have different answers to this question.
But it may seem 16 to us. Eat it for lunch? Vegetable. Eat it for dessert? Fruit! But it’s not that easy.
There are legal definitions (法律界定) for what are considered fruits and vegetables, 17 scientific ones.
To answer the question “Is a tomato a fruit?”, let’s look at the definition of fruit. According to the Oxford
English Dictionary, fruit is “the part of a plant that 18 one or more seeds and flesh (果肉) can be eaten as
food and usually tastes sweet.” Like other true fruits, tomatoes form from small yellow flowers on the vine (藤蔓)
and naturally contain many seeds. These seeds can later be used to 19 more tomato plants.
A．equally B．decision C． In conclusion D．claimed E. suggestion
Does that mean that pumpkins, peppers and cucumbers are fruits? Yes, scientifically speaking, they are all
fruits. Then, what is a vegetable? Simply put, if you just eat the stems or leaves or roots or flowers of a plant, that
makes it a vegetable. 20 , carrots, potatoes and broccoli (西兰花) are all vegetables.
While tomatoes are scientifically fruits, they’re legally classed as vegetables. In 1893, the U. S Congress (美国
国会) passed a law. It put a 10-percent tax on whole vegetables. So, to avoid paying the fee, sellers 21 that
tomatoes were fruit. The Supreme Court (美国最高法院) then made a 22 for the case. It stated that
tomatoes were vegetables instead of fruit. The reason was that cooks prepared them and people ate them like
vegetables. This means, legally speaking, tomatoes are vegetables.
When it comes down to the exact definition, it doesn’t really matter. After all, both fruits and vegetables are
23 helpful and necessary for our bodies. Whether you like tomatoes in a salad or prefer tomato soup, eating this
fruit/vegetable will do you good.

Technology is the use of knowledge to invent new tools. Throughout history, technology has made people’s

Later on, people learned to work with 46 . The people of Anatolia made copper tools and weapons as
early as 6500 BC． In about 3000 BC people discovered that mixing copper with tin formed bronze. This
discovery began the Bronze Age.
Two important 47 took place in the Middle East at the beginning of the Bronze Age. One was the
invention of the ox-drawn plow (犁). The other was the invention of the wheel and axle (车轴). Many scientists

In the 1000s BC the Hittite people of Anatolia learned to work with iron, which is stronger than bronze. This

learned the Chinese technique of casting iron. This involved 50 iron and pouring it into a mold to harden.
Chinese inventors also developed black powder, the original form of gunpowder. New sources of powder weredeveloped during this time.
Two kinds of technology helped to end the Middle Ages and to begin modern times. The rudder (a part for
driving a ship), the compass made it possible the sea voyages of European explorers.

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12 分)
My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, WE USED 2go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF ＆ thr 3:-@KIDS FTF. ILNY, its gr8.
Can you understand this sentence? If you can’t, don’t feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in
England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on
Internet or cellphones. If you read Netspeak for the first time, it looks like an unrecognizable foreign language. So,
what is the “translation” of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we
used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New
York; it’s great.
School teachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming the English language. Increasing spelling
and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students’ writing. They fear the language could become corrupted (面目
全非的).
Everyone should just relax, say linguists. They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David
Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost
lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. “People get
better at writing by writing,” he says. “Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will
write at least as well as, and possibly better than their parents. ”
Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming thelanguage. And you can be sure that when today’s teenagers become tomorrow’s parents, they will think this way,
too. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become “corrupted”; they simply change to meet the new
needs.
However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write standard
English. Cynthia McVey says, “I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it’s important to make their pupils
understand that text messaging is for fun, but that to learn to write proper English is necessary for their future.”
Perhaps, we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, “I wouldn’t use text language
in my homework. Text is just for fun.”
58．School teachers and parents are in favor of the new form of writing, aren’t they?
.
59．The first time people read Netspeak, how do they feel about Netspeak?

60．Why do languages change, according to James Milroy?

61．Who thinks that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use?

62．In Cynthia McVey’s opinion, what should students do to prepare for their future?

63．The writer doesn’t support Netspeak, does he? Will you use Netspeak? Why or why not?

【答案】58．No, they aren’t. 59．People think it looks like a unrecognizable foreign language. 60．
Languages change to meet the new needs. 61．David Crystal. 62．They should learn to write proper
English. 63．Yes, he does. Yes, I will because it is actually a way of practising writing and it is just a new way
to meet new changes./No, I won’t because it is hard to understand and it will increase spelling and grammatical
mistakes in my writing.
【导语】本文主要讲述了网络语言的使用，人们、语言学家以及作者对此的看法。
58．根据“School teachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming the English language”可知学校老
师和家长表示，这种新的写作形式正在损害英语，可见是不支持这种语言的使用。故填No, they aren’t.
59．根据“If you read Netspeak for the first time, it looks like an unrecognizable foreign language”可知第一次读
的时候，它看起来就像一种无法识别的外语。故填People think it looks like a unrecognizable foreign
language.
60．根据“they simply change to meet the new needs”可知语言变化是为了满足新的需求。故填Languages
change to meet the new needs.
61．根据“David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language
use”可知David Crystal认为网络语言和互联网创造了一种新的语言使用。故填David Crystal.
62．根据“but that to learn to write proper English is necessary for their future”可知为了他们的未来，学会写正确的英语是必要的。故填They should learn to write proper English.
63．根据“Perhaps, we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway”可知作者认为我们应该给青少年多一
点信任，可推知作者是支持网络语言的。自己的看法言之有理即可。参考答案为Yes, he does. Yes, I will
because it is actually a way of practising writing and it is just a new way to meet new changes./No, I won’t because
it is hard to understand and it will increase spelling and grammatical mistakes in my writing.

例文：
Say no to food waste
Food plays an important part in our daily life. However, wasting food is a common phenomenon that people
order more food than they can eat, and even throw away their leftovers in restaurants, which is so disappointing that
I’d like to give some advice on reducing food waste.
First, we should have the awareness of saving food. Next, it’s time for us to take action to save food. We oughtto treasure grain wherever we are. What is most important is that we should have the courage to fight against
wasting food.
I call on everyone to say no to food waste. Saving food is a virtue. Please remember to order appropriately,
starting with ourselves as early as possible.
