24、Language is always changing and developing. This isn’t a bad thing. If English hadn’t changed for a long time, we won’t have words to describe telephones, washing machines, computers or some other new things.

Language changes for several reasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change. New technologies, new products, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions, because they have different ages, jobs, education levels(水平) and so on.

How does language develop then? On the one hand, many of the languages changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions that are different from the older people’s. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words shorter or combining(组合) words and we make them out of proper names.

Languages that don’t change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it is alive and well.

【1】What does the writer think of the change and development of language? He thinks it is   .

A. not a bad thing B. a terrible thing

C. a bad thing D. an uncomfortable thing

【2】Why do people use different sets of words and expressions according to the passage?

Because their   and education levels are different.

A. ages, jobs    B. jobs, height

C. weight, ages   D. weight, height

【3】How many reasons for language change are mentioned in this passage?

A. 2 B. 3 C. 4   D. 5

【4】Which of the following is NOT the way for young people to help develop language according to the passage?

A. They do it when they communicate with others of their own age.

B. They change words on their own.

C. They create them by making words shorter or combining words.

D. They make them out of proper names.

【5】What is considered a dead language according to the passage?

The one that   over time is considered a dead language.

A. always changes B. often improves

C. is spoken  D. never changes

25、Benjamin Banneker was born a few months before another great American—George Washington. Benjamin was black, but he was not a slave (奴隶). He and his mother and his grandmother were free. Benjamin’s grandmother came from England. In America she got a job and worked for many years to pay for her boat trip across the ocean. After working many years, she saved enough money to buy a farm. Benjamin lived with her for a while. She taught him to read, write and do arithmetic (算术).

Benjamin’s neighbours knew that he was clever. They were not surprised when he built a large wooden clock. He made each piece after studying a small pocket watch. The clock made him famous, for it was one of the first clocks built in America. People from other places began to send hard problems of all kinds to Benjamin to settle.

Thomas Jefferson heard of Benjamin Banneker’s ability to settle hard problems. He asked Banneker to help build the city that was to be the capital of the United States—Washington, D.C. Banneker worked hard on the plans for the city. He marked where the streets and buildings—the Capitol (美国国会大厦), the White House, and many other places should be built.

Later, L’ Enfant, the Frenchman who had designed the new city, had a quarrel, and went back to France in anger. He took all of the plans away. The workmen couldn’t build without any plans to follow.

For a while it seemed that the plans for the capital might have to be changed, but Benjamin Banneker remembered the plans he had helped draw. He drew each again as he had built each piece of his clock.

27、I decided at 10 that I was going to be a teacher because I had a burning desire for superpowers. As a boy, I could clearly see some of my teachers had extraordinary powers.

There was an English teacher in fifth grade who could magically transport us to different worlds every day by telling us stories and reading to us from books we would otherwise never pick up. This was our secret and fun time because fifth graders were considered too old to have stories read out to them.

It was even shocking that my teacher could see the invisible. I was one of those who lacked insight. Yet my teacher would notice me and the unspoken message in her eyes suggested that she could see me through. She had another superpower and even after four decades. I could still vividly remember her lessons about the great masters of art and great geographers, expanding our horizons. She did this even though her major was not art, nor geography. Her lessons went beyond the textbook. I knew I wanted to be one of those all-seeing ones with superpowers that made children feel safe and valued.

I know being a teacher isn’t the easiest or the most financially rewarding of jobs. And there are occupational risks-your knees can become worn out from years of carrying piles of notebooks up and down the school staircase, your voice can give in from too much talking. But despite all that, there are those choosing this cause. To them, teaching is not just a job-it is a science, an art and a craft, and it demands emotional labour and investment.

All my life, for three decades now, I’ve gone to work early each day with a spring in my step. Occasionally, I meet my former students. Their obvious love for me and fond memories of our time together are my rewards. When I meet others who thirst for superpowers, like the brand new teacher struggling to perfect her skills with a brave face on, or the one in a remote, rural school travelling 70 kilometers each day just for his pupils, I feel proud to belong to the same group.

【1】What can be inferred about the stories from paragraph 2?

A．They were told in a magic way.

B．They were written by the teacher.

C．They contained some students’ fun secrets.

D．They left the students with happy memories.

【2】Which of the following best describes the English teacher?

A．Honest and generous.

B．Hard-working and wealthy.

C．Caring and modest.

D．Knowledgeable and good at noticing things.

【3】What do we know about the author as a teacher?

A．He suffered a lot in his knees and voice.

B．He thought teaching was more than spreading knowledge.

C．He had some ideas of how to be a teacher at a young age.

D．He was rewarded with much money for his devotion at school.

【4】From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.

A．the author is really a great teacher

B．rural school teachers are working hard

C．all the students love the author

D．young teachers think it difficult to teach

【5】The author’s writing purpose is probably to ________.

A．tell us the value of being a teacher

B．encourage more young college students to be teachers

C．thank his English teacher in fifth grade

D．tell the job of teaching needing hard work

29、   Rudi Matt lived in a small village in the Swiss Apls in 1865. What he wanted most in the world was to climb the ______ peak（山峰）in the Alps.
