1.[单选题]Passage One For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of this great writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from his writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that ‘it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations’!Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English；Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.In this passage the author mainly intends to _____________. A prove that English language has become various B tell that English words have undergone great changes C indicate how much Englishmen love Shakespeare D show how great a writer Shakespeare was

7.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 thing 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.问Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? 选项： 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

14.[单选题]Passage 4 Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. With three minutes left in a game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics , LeBron James hits a 3-pointer,causingthe announcer to note "the score is 89-85,a 4-point differential. "Cars have differentials, but do basketball scores have differentials? Why not instead use the simple word "difference?" What attracts this announcer to the word "differential?" The same thing, I suppose, that attracts television news reporters and newspaper journalists to the word "replicate, "when copy will do nicely. The same people are also likely to reach for "recalibrate, "when what they have in mind is usually nothing more than "reconsider. "Why are people, especially many who make their livings through the use of language, attracted by these and so many other hollow words? Those who use these imprecise words must feel a happy sense of possessing a rich vocabulary . Lacing their own speech and writing with these new words makes them feel not only well-informed but educated. The words also happen to be examples of what H. W . Fowler , author of "A Dictionary of Modern English Usage，＂called＂novelty-hunting（猎奇），＂or ＂the casting about for words of which one can feel not that they give one's meaning more intelligently or exactly than those the man in the street would have used in expressing the same thing, but that they are not the ones that would have occurred to him. " Fowler thought the use of such words a "useful outward sign of inner dullness. "His advice was to avoid such people, but, he added, "unluckily they hunt in packs. "Words have their vogues（流行性）. Fowler again：＂Every now ＆then a word emerges from obscurity（含糊），or even from nothingness or a merely potential ＆ not actual existence， into sudden popularity. . . Ready acceptance of vogue words seems to some people the sign of an alert mind; to others it stands for the herd instinct &lack of individuality. "The close observation of language, pressing words for exact meanings, has always been important, but has become even more so since the rise in significance of the news media in politics. In the corruption of language, the media, to do a bit of novelty-hunting, make for an everyday superspreader event. Language changes and change is the first rule of language . But there's good and bad change, and to allow language to wander off into obscure realms is to sacrifice accuracy of communication and give up hope of discovering the truth about politics or indeed about human affairs generally. Who favors vogue words according to Fowler? A One who follows others in word use. B One who shows creativity in word use. C One who pursues perfection in word use. D One who tries different ways in word use.
