She greeted us in 37 with a bit foreign accent. “Hello! 38 to Pisa

There are also lexicographers, or dictio
26、nary compilers. The flight of the Spacecraft last week might help put some new words into orbit.One of them is a western media coinage used to refer to the Chinese astronauts. Its a combination of the Chinese pinyin “taikong”, meaning space, and the English “astronaut”, from classical Greek: “star s
27、ailor/navigator”, for people who was going into space as a career.In the Reuters and AP reports of October 15, “taikonaut” was used as a proper noun. For example:The Long March 2F rocket carrying “taikonaut” Yang Liwei lifted off into a clear blue sky over the Gobi desert at 9 am. and entered its or
28、bit 10 minutes later.The word “taikonaut” is not a newly coined term. It first emerged in November, 1999, when China launched its first unmanned “Shenzhou ” spacecraft.At that time, some English news media predicted that China would soon launch a manned space flight and created the word “taikonaut”
29、for the Chinese astronauts. It was then borrowed by the Germans media.But it was left out of mainstream dictionaries, such as the MerriamWebster Dictionary and Cambridge Advanced English Learners Dictionary.However, the launch of the “Shenzhou ” will most likely help boost its status since there is
30、already a word referring specifically to Russian astronauts in the dictionary entry.An astronaut of Russian ( or the former Soviet Union) is called a “cosmonaut”, from the Russian “kosmonaut”. The word was derived from classical Greek: “kosmonaut” (universal) and “nautes”. One might argue that “cosm
31、onaut” is a Russian variation on the earlier word “astronaut”.On March 14, 1995, US astronaut Norman Thagard became the first American to ride into space on-board a Russian launch vehicle, arguably making him the first American cosmonaut.And if this trend of coinage continues, more English variation
32、s for “astronaut” will appear as more countries are able to send their own astronauts into outer space, what would western journalists call an astronaut from India or Africa? Well have to wait to see.56Which of the following best suits the passage as a title?A. Why to Create the Word “Astronaut”?B.
33、Why to Make a Lot of Variations for “Taikonaut”?C. How to Tell a “Taikonaut” from an Astronaut?D. How to Call Astronauts from Different Countries?57Which is the right statement in the following sentence?A. The word “taikonaut” was born with the launch of “Shenzhou ” spacecraft.B. Yang Liwei, Yuri Ga
34、garin and Alan Shepard are all excellent taikonauts.C. The American newspapers such as Reuters coined the word “taikonaut”.D. Some new words have widely been put into use with the launch of the “Shenzhou ” spacecraft.58From the writers point of view, _.A. lexicographers or dictionary compilers have
35、also done a lot of things to help launch “Shenzhou ” .B. the American astronaut Norman Thagard is not a cosmonaut.C. the words coined or to be coined for astronauts of different countries usually have something to do with the name(s) of their countries.D. the reason why there will be more variations
36、 for the word “astronauts” is that more and more countries will be able to send their own astronauts into space.59What does the underlined word “coinage” mean in the passage?A. System of coins in use.B. Invention of word.C. New meaning of a word.D. Discovery of an old word.B“Tear them apart!” “Kill
37、the fool!” “Murder the referee ( 裁判)!”These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But lets not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed (流血) .Books have been wr
38、itten about the way words affect us . It has shown that words having certain meanings may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent” as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.The dic
39、tionary meaning of the term “opponent” is “enemy”; “one who opposes your interests.” Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may control ones mind, and every action, no matter how bad, may be considered correct. I recall an
40、 incident in a handball game when a referee refused a players request for a time out for a glove change because he didnt consider them wet enough. The player rubbed his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then shouted, “Are they wet enough now?”In the heat of battle, players have been observed to thro
41、w themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponents intentional and illegal blocking by hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court,
42、they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which is different from normal behavior.Therefore, I believe it is time we promoted the game to the level where it belongs to the rest of the sporting world by setting an example. Replacing the term “oppone
43、nt” with “associate” could be an ideal way to start. The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “friend”; “companion.” Think it over! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent.”60. What point of view does the author suppor
44、t in the passage?A. Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletes.B. Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences.C. Unfair judgments by referees will lead to bloodshed on the sports field.D. The words people use can influence their behavior.61. What did the handball p
45、layer do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?A. He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt.B. He claimed that the referee was unfair.C. He refused to continue the game.D. He was too angry to hit the referee with a ball.62. Rough words are spoken during games because the
46、 players .A. cant stand being defeated in fierce competitionsB. treat their rivals as enemiesC. are too eager to winD. are usually bad-tempered63. The author suggests that the current situation in sports can be improved by _.A. regulating the relationship between players and refereesB. calling on pl
47、ayers to use clean language on the courtC. changing the attitude of players on the sports fieldD. raising the referees sense of responsibilityCLike many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship (崇拜). At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This
48、leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite great differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a lot people will listen. But a hero goes
49、 beyond more than fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers (高压变压器), heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a hero experience l
50、ife with new depth, enthusiasm and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who woul
51、d claim that their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill to move the people. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther
52、 King, Jr., we might still have segregated buses, restaurants and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.64. Although heroes may come from di
53、fferent cultures, they .A. are often influenced by previous generationsB. all unknowingly attract a large number of fansC. generally have certain inspiring characteristicsD. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people65. Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders
54、 who .A. are capable of meeting all changes and hardshipsB. can provide an answer to the problems of their peopleC. are powerful enough to change the world completelyD. can move people with their forceful speeches66. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that
55、.A. they can serve as examples of noble principlesB. they can give people energy and powerC. they have a vision from the mountaintopD. they have warm feelings and emotions67. We can draw the conclusion from the last paragraph that _.A. historical changes would take place if there were heroes to lead
56、 the peopleB. historical changes would produce leaders with attractive personalitiesC. historical changes would be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesD. historical changes would not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesDThe idea of test tube babies may make you
57、either delighted at the wonders of modern medicine or annoyed while considering the moral, or legal, or technological implications (暗示) of starting life in a laboratory. But if you have ever been pregnant (怀孕) yourself, one thing is certain: You wonder what it is like to carry a test-tube baby. Are
58、these pregnancies normal? Are the babies normal?The earliest answers come from Australia, where a group of medical experts at the Queen Victoria Medical Center in Melbourne have taken a look at the continents first nine successful in vitro pregnancies. The Australians report that the pregnancies the
59、mselves seemed to proceed (进行)according to plan, but at birth some unusual trends did show up. Seven of the nine babies turned out to be girls. Six of the nine were delivered by Caesarean Section (剖腹产手术). And one baby, a twin, was born with a serious heart defect and a few days later developed life-
60、threatening problems.What does it all mean? Even the doctors dont know for sure, because the numbers are so small. The proportion of girls to boys is high, but until there are many more test-tube babies no one will know whether thats something that just happened to be like that or something special
61、that happens when egg meets sperm in a test tube instead of a fallopian tube. The same thing is true of the single heart defect; it usually shows up in only 15 out of 60000 births in that part of Australia , but the fact that it occurred in one out of nine test-tube babies does not necessarily mean
62、that they are at special risk. One thing the doctors can explain is the high number of Caesareans. Most of the mothers were old, had long histories of fertility problems and in some areas had surgery on the fallopian tubes, all of which made them likely candidates for Caesareans anyway.The Australia
63、n researchers report that they are quite encouraged. All the babies are now making normal progress even the twin with the birth defects.68. What does the Latin word “in vitro” (paragraph two) most probably mean?A. Virtual.B. Fallopian tube.C. Normal.D. Test-tube.69. Which of the following explanatio
64、ns regarding the high number of Caesarean operations is NOT true?A. Some mothers volunteer to be the candidates of the Caesarean operations.B. Some mothers have had surgical operations on the fallopian tubes.C. Some mothers have passed the best age for a natural delivery.D. Some mothers have physica
65、l problems with pregnancy.70. What would people be most concerned about according to the author?A. Whether modern medicine is advanced enough for test-tube babies delivery.B. Whether there would be always more girls than boys out of the test-tube babies.C. Whether the test-tube babies would be legal
66、ly accepted by society.D. Whether the test-tube babies would be normal from pregnancy to birth.71. What is the authors attitude toward the idea of test-tube babies?A. Delighted.B. Annoyed.C. Optimistic.D. Pessimistic.EHANOIA 15-month-old girl and a man are the latest suspected cases of bird flu infe
67、ction in Vietnam, a senior health official said on Wednesday as attention turned to pigs as possible carriers for the illness. Both patients are suspected of contracting avian influenza strain A, also known as H5n1, Dau Ngoc Hao, deputy director of the Agriculture Ministrys Veterinary Department in
68、Hanoi, said. They were among 15 people who fell ill with influenza in Hanoi and surrounding provinces. Twelve, most of them children, have died. The World Health Organization said on Tuesday tests conducted by a Hong Kong laboratory had confirmed that bird flu killed three of the 15.Hao suspected pi
69、gs were playing a role in the transmission of bird flu to humans. “It is possible that the bird flu virus spreads from chickens to pigs before jumping to humans,” he said, but did not elaborate (详细描述). Local officials said ducks and pigs were also dying in southern provinces. “By Wednesday, the situ
70、ation in southern Vietnam is still very complicated,” Hao said. Peter Cordingley, a spokesman for the WHOs Western Pacific headquarters in Manila, said: “ We are worried that the virus will latch on to a normal human influenza virus, which is extremely contagious (传染性的) and then well have a big prob
71、lem.”Cordingley stressed there was “no evidence of human-to-human transmission” among the Vietnam flu victims.“While there are people falling sick inside families, its more likely that the transmission-if it comes from anywhere-comes from the chickens,” he said. Hanoi declared last week that it had
72、been struck by a fast-spreading bird flu that has hit other countries nearby, which have a vast poultry (家禽) industry.South Korea, which has already culled（收集）nearly 2 million chickens and ducks, reported last Tuesday the first new case of avian flu in more than a week, dashing hopes that the outbre

Hundreds of people living in affected areas have been given blood tests, although a health official said no one had shown symptoms of the disease, Japan reported its first bird flu outbreak in years on Monday.72.

They say making friends on line is a waste of time, which should be spent more meaningfully on study.

As for friendship, we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us.12
