This is as good a way as any to welcome you to this passage.The word “hello” is 1 used more often than any other one in the English language. Everybody in the United States and elsewhere 2 the word, again and again, every day of the week.The first thing you hear when you 3 the phone is “hello”. Where did the word come from? There are all sorts of beliefs. Some say it came from the French, “ho” and “la” “Ho, there!” This 4 may have arrived in England during the year 1066.“Ho, there” slowly became 5 that sounded like “hallow”, often heard in the 1300s. Two hundred years later, “hallow” had become “halloo”. And later, sounds like “halloa” and “hallo” were often used by sailors and huntsmen. “Halloo” is 6 used today by fox hunters.As time 7 , “halloo” and “halloa” changed into “hullo”. And during the 1800s this was how people greeted each other in America.The American inventor, Thomas Edison, is believed to be the 8 person to use “hello” in the late 1800s, soon after the invention of the telephone.At first, people had greeted each other on the telephone 9 “Are you there?” They were not sure the new instrument could really 10 voices.Thomas Edison, however, was a man of 11 words. He wasted no time. The first time he picked up the phone he did not ask if anyone was there. He was 12 someone was, and simply said, “Hello.”From that time on only about 100 years ago, the “hullo” became “hello” as it is heard today. Of course, there are other 13 Americans greet one another. Not long ago, people often said, “How are you?” when they first met someone. This later became “hiyah”. Then, someone thought that two syllables were too much and “hiyah” became “hi”. Laziness is a strong force in 14 language.Answering a telephone call in America still presents problems; however, telephone companies think that Thomas Edisons short “hello” is too long. Why waste time? The phone companies say. Simply pick up the phone, 15 your name, and start talking.1. A. possiblyB. maybeC. probablyD. perhaps2. A. usesB. speaksC. writesD. hears3.

Before you start the examination, read the question paper over carefully. Try to understand the exact meaning of each question before you pick up your pen to write.

First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly with confidence（自信）and without hesitation（犹豫）. Thirdly, we must be able to read it. Fourthly, we must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must “learn through use”. Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever（无论何时）we can.6. The most important things to learn a foreign language are _.

C 解析：这里需要副词修饰动词，可以把D排除。straight作副词意思是“直，直接”；straightly 拼写错误，不能加ly；right作副词是“准确地，直接地”意思，主要强调时间或位置等； 根据句义选择C，表示“直接切入正题”。3. D 解析：前面是一个句型sb was doing sth when sth happened；状语从句中的book是先行词， 后面定语从句中的动作有明显先后次序，“老师把书落在办公室”发生在“返回”之前， 所以用过去完成时。4. B 解析：从句义来看，应该是他们想知道能做哪些事情来帮助我们，所以疑问词是what， 宾语从句应用陈述句语序，故选B。5. A 解析：none of them是搭配，none可以指人，也可以指物体；no one of them搭配不对；neither 是两者都不，而这里的范围是两者以上；every不能直接加of。6. C 解析：enjoy后面要接doing sth，但是本句中疑问代词which已经充当了enjoy的宾语，to spend是目的状语。7. B 解析：latter是“后者”；later是副词，表示“后来”，或某段时间以后；late是“迟到，晚 点”；lately是“最近”，通常句子要用完成时。8. B 解析：make an effort to do sth 尽力做某事；make sense有意义，与句义不符；其他选项 都与题意不符。9. C 解析：with构成独立主格结构；as是连词，后面要接一个句子；for和through都不能表 示随着某事的发展或变化。10. D 解析：句中有一个具体的时间“2003”，所以要用过去时，根据句义是在“电影院放映”， 所以用被动语态。11. D 解析：宾语从句要用陈述句语序，所以排除了A；注意从句中时态的变化，这里的从句要 用过去完成时，所以排除了B、C。12. D 解析：宾语从句部分是特殊疑问词引导的陈述语序的句子。13. B 解析：当宾语从句所陈述的是客观事实或真理时，从句要用一般现在时。14. C 解析：句中有表示过去的时间状语in 1980，所以只能选用过去时。15. C 解析：动词不定式的否定结构是tell sb not to do sth；noise是不可数名词，所以需用much 修饰。. 根据汉语提示及重点词语将下列句子译成英语1. We should make full use of the time to work hard.2. The novel is based on a true story.3. The northeastern China is a beautiful and rich place.4. There are some differences between American English and British English.5. He asked us whether it would be fine the next day. 完形填空1.

A 解析：uses在这里指使用hello这个词，可能是说或者书写，同时从上文也可知道；speaks 是说hello，不包括书面语hello；writes是书面语hello，不包括说hello；hears听到，词义 范围狭窄。3. B 解析：pick up在文中指“拿起话筒”，pick up还有其他意思：收听，例如：My radio can pick up French. 开车接人，例如：Ill pick you up tomorrow morning. take up 开始从事； 专注于，例如：He took up art while at school. 继续；接下，例如：to take up ones story； hold up 举起；展示；阻挡，拦截；提出(作榜样)，例如：His son was held up as a model of hard work. put up 举起，抬起，例如：Put your hands up! 张开(伞)，例如： to put up a tent 张贴，公布，例如：Jasper has put up “No Parking” signs outside his gate, but these have not had any effect.4. D 解析：greeting指这种打招呼方式；word用在这里不恰当，当时拼写方式还未固定；phrase是短语，hello是一个单词，不是一个短语；letter是字母，而hello是一个单词。5. C 解析：something表示后面所提到的hallow；anything和everything的词义范围太广，也不 合句义；nothing词义相反。6. D 解析：从后面的today可以得知，仍然被用，所以选择still；also指“亦，同样”，不表示 时间方面的“仍然”；as well和too指“也，还；同样”，应用在句尾。7. A 解析：passed（时间）流逝；消磨（时间），例如：Spring passed quickly. came不合句义； went应与by连用，表示时间流逝；past没有动词词性，而这里需要谓语动词。8. A 解析：由后面soon after the invention，可以判断是“第一人”；hello到现在还在使用，所 以“最后一人”还未出现，故不能用last；选项clever，happy与使用hello无关。9. B 解析：greet sb with 是固定搭配。10. C 解析：carry携带，运送，传送，表示传送声音；take，bring，fetch意思与句义不符。11. A 解析：few是否定意思，表示Edison是一个“寡言少语”的人；其他选项与句义不符。12. A 解析：前面有he did not ask if anyone was there，表示“他有把握”，所以选sure；anxious 担忧的；glad高兴的；nervous焦虑的。这些选项都与文章不符。13.

A 解析：changing符合本文讲到的语言改变；making可以表示“塑造”，但没有改变的意思；fixing是“固定下来”，与本文语言改变不符；having是“拥有”，与上下文不符。15. D 解析：give强调电话两端互相交流，自报姓名；enter ones name登记名字；demand ones name询问名字；call ones name叫出名字；故选。. 阅读理解，根据短文内容选择最佳答案1. A 解析：第一段第一句和第二句明确告诉我们答案。2. D 解析：由第一段最后一句和第二段第一句可知A，B和C都是片面的，所以只有D符合题意。3.
