Mary had struggled to find the right words to convey her thoughts and feelings ever
since she was a child.She was often told that she was “too quiet” or “too shy”,and as she grew
older,she became increasingly self-conscious about her inability to articulate herself.It wasn’t
that she didn’t have anything to say—far from it.Mary’s mind was constantly racing with
ideas and observations,but no matter how hard she tried,she just couldn’t seem to get the
words out.
“Mary,I need to talk to you,” Mr.Thompson,the boss of Mary’s new company,said one

panic.“It’s not that kind of conversation.I just want to talk to you about something that’s been
on my mind lately.”

Department?Besides,I have another suggestion...”
Mary kept nodding,unable to find the words to express her gratitude.
Following Mr.Thompson’s suggestion,Mary joined a writing competition.She had
always been a talented writer,and she knew that she had the potential to create something
truly special.So she set to work,pouring her heart and soul into her essay.The words started
flowing,and Mary found herself writing with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose.

New words emerge in English all the time.In fact,in recent years more new words and
phrases are entering the language than ever before,partly due to the increased willingness of
lexicographers (词典编纂者) to include them in the dictionaries.
John Algeo who studies the history of language says,“As our culture changes,the
language changes.American culture is going through a time of rapid change.”
Technology is moving fast,which has a big effect on language.The computer world
produces hundreds of new words.New terms also come from business,medicine,and other
fields.
Many new English words come from other languages.David Jost helps create the
American Heritage Dictionary.“We constantly borrow words from other cultures,” he
says.“This will go on forever in cultures.”
4
“People in many parts of the world speak English now.That is another reason why so
many new words are entering the language,” says Algeo.
The American Dialect Society has a contest each year.The society selects a “new word
of the year”,which gains high level of popularity on media for some days.Last year the
winner was “information superhighway”,referring to a whole set of electronic network of
information and people getting access to this network by computer.
New words often come in several forms,such as the back-formation (like enthuse from
enthusiasm),the clipping (like zoo from zoological garden),and the compounding,etc.Over
time,one form tends to win out.Take the compounding for instance.“Domestic partners” has
been growing popular lately,even though many terms have been used to describe couples who
live together but are not married.
“A new word rarely can be traced to one source,” says Algeo.“Several people tend to
create a new word when a need for one exists.”
“Most new words have a limited life ‘span’,” say language experts.Only a few will
survive through the next 100 years.
8.What might have least effect on English language?
A.Culture.
B.Technology.
C.Other languages.
D.Language contests.
9.What does the writer want to demonstrate by mentioning “domestic partners”?
A.It is a compounding word.
B.New words often come in several forms.
C.Over time,one form tends to win out.
D.A new word rarely can be traced to one source.
10.What can we learn from the passage?
A.New words occur all of a sudden.
B.New words will become old or extinct.
C.Information technology helps the American Dialect Society.
D.American culture changes rapidly as well as English language.
11.What’s the best title of this passage?
A.New Words Developing Naturally
B.English Language Changing Rapidly
C.English Vocabulary in a State of Development

A new study found some primates (灵长类) are leaving their tree homes and spending
more time on the ground.Led by Timothy Eppley,Ph.D.,scientists studied nearly 50 species of
monkeys and lemurs (狐猴) to look at the reason behind these changes.
About 15 years ago,Eppley worked with southern bamboo lemurs,which were known to
spend most of their days in the trees,feeding on bamboo leaves.However,he was surprised to
find these lemurs were spending most time on the ground and had an incredibly diverse
diet.He wondered whether habitat reduction and limited food resource availability were
driving them move to the ground.This inspired him to begin this study.
He reached out to every researcher he could find who may have significant data on
primates from Madagascar or the Americas,the two places with almost all tree-dwelling
primates.
Eppley examined more than 150,000 hours of data observed on 32 monkey species and
15 lemur species at 68 sites.He found that they spent an average of only 2.5% of their time on
the ground each month.But the findings showed some interesting differences.
“As habitats are degraded and the climate worsens,primates that are flexible enough to
adapt because of their diverse diets or live in larger groups may be more likely to shift to life
on the ground,” Eppley says.“However,other species that rely on fruit diets or live in small
groups are less adaptable and are less willing to leave the tree.For these species,we will still
need to enforce fast and effective conservation strategies to ensure their survival.”
Although moving to the ground has some advantages in certain situations,primates can
face problems when they leave the trees.They can become victims of other animals and
diseases.Besides,they will be faced with finding appropriate food resources on the
ground,thus having a broad or flexible diet is important.Primates are important seed spreaders
within their forest habitats.The loss of primates would lead to negative effects on the
ecosystem.
12.Why did Timothy Eppley begin his study?
A.To try to make primates more adaptive.
B.To study how monkeys differ from lemurs.
C.To figure out the reason for the loss of bamboo.
D.To find out why primates are turning to the ground.
6
13.How did Timothy Eppley carry out his research?
A.By doing experiments.
B.By observing in the wild.
C.By studying collected data.
D.By interviewing the locals.
14.Which kind of primates are more likely to come down from trees?
A.Those eating diverse diets.
B.Those with a large size.
C.Those feeding mainly on fruits.
D.Those living in small groups.
15.What will become a concern according to the study?
A.Animals will become less adaptive.
B.The forest ecosystem will become worse.
C.More natural habitats will be lost.
D.More animal-related diseases will appear.

Gardening can be a fun and rewarding activity for people of all ages,but it can be
especially beneficial for children.
Gardening enhances children’s senses and motor skills.In addition to being able to touch
the soil,use various tools and seeds,children can also spot the differences between different
plants,and hear sounds of different insects.
1
.Gardening activities like
digging,planting,watering,and weeding can stimulate movements of the body,particularly
arms and hands,and help children learn about the natural world.
2
.Children’s curiosity about plants starts with the first seed they sow.They learn
about natural process by observing the growth and fruit ripen.They also come to appreciate
the vital role of insects and worms for plants and recognize that everything in nature is
connected.
Plant care fosters (培养) patience and responsibility.
3
,and children learn what it
means to be responsible for something to help ensure its health.Gardening also teaches
children about caring for the environment,fostering a love and respect for nature.
Gardening promotes nutrition and healthy choices for kids.Planting and cultivating (培
育) plants,picking vegetables and fruit,and involving kids in cooking with what they grew
7
will certainly result in a wish to try and consume the food they prepared.They will gladly try
vegetables and fruit they planted and cultivated themselves.

12.D 细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“He wondered whether habitat reduction and limited
food resource availability were driving them move to the ground.This inspired him to begin
this study.”可知Timothy Eppley 开始研究是想找出灵长类动物选择地面生活的原因。

observed on 32 monkey species and 15 lemur species at 68 sites.”可知Eppley 通过分析收集
到的数据进行这项研究。
14.A 推理判断题。文章第五段讲到“primates that are flexible enough to adapt because
of their diverse diets or live in larger groups may be more likely to shift to life on the ground”
可知,那些饮食多样化的灵长类动物更倾向于到地面生活。
15.B 细节理解题。文章最后一段讲到“Primates are important seed spreaders within
their forest habitats.The loss of primates would lead to negative effects on the ecosystem.”可
知,灵长类动物是植物种子的传播者,如果它们到地面上栖息,将会影响森林的生态系统。
Ⅱ.[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了园艺给孩子们带来的好处。
1.G 下文“Gardening activities like digging,planting,watering,and weeding can stimulate
