Once he flew from the U.S. to his hometown in Italy to see someone at home. The plane made one-hour stop to get oil at Kennedy Airport of New York. As he thought he had arrived home. Mr. Scottie got off the plane. He thought he was in Rome. When nobody was there to meet him, Mr. Scottie thought maybe they were held up by heavy traffic. While looking for their address, Mr. Scottie found that the old “Rome” had changed a lot. Many old buildings were replaced by high modern ones. He also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian and that many streets were written in English. Mr. Scottie knew very little English, so he asked a policeman the way to the bus station. He happened to meet a policeman who was also born in Italy and answered him in the same language. After twelve hours traveling round on a bus, the driver handed him over to a second policeman. He asked the policeman why the Rome police employed so many people as policemen speaking English instead of Italian. Mr. Scottie did not believe he was in New York when he was told so. To get him on a plane back to San Francisco, he was sent to the airport in a police car with sirens (警报) on. “Look,” said Scottie to his interpreter (翻译), “I know Im in Italy. Thats how they drive.”51. When Mr. Scottie arrived at the airport, nobody met him because _. A. he was in New York B. he was not in Rome C. policeman could help him D. both A and B52. In what direction did the plane fly when Mr. Scottie went to Italy from the U.S.? A. To the east B. To the south C. To the west D. To the north53. Why was Mr. Scottie so sure that he was in Rome? A. Because he knew little about the U.S. B. Because he knew little bout Italy. C. Because he traveled a lot. D. Because he didnt travel much54. At last Mr. Scottie _. A. know he did something wrong B. still thought he was in Rome. C. knew he was wrong D. knew he was at home55. Do you think many people do the same things as Mr. Scottie did? A. Nobody but Mr. Scottie made this kind of mistake. B. Many people make this kind of mistake. C. Few people make this kind of mistake D. 50% of people will make the same mistake B “Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the world has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “Its cool.” You may think, “Hes so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Heres an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one students paper was just the one sentence, “Its so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt. But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.56. We know that the word “cool” has had _. A. only one meaning B. no meanings C. many different meanings D. the same meaning57 . In the passage, the word “express” means “_.” A. see B. show C. know D. feel58. If you are _ something, you may say, “Its cool.” A. interested in B. angry about C. afraid of D. unhappy with59. The writer takes an example to show he is _ the way the word is used. A. pleased with B. strange to C. worried about D. careful with60. In the passage, the writer suggests （暗示）that the word “cool” _. A. can be used instead of many words B. usually means something interesting C. can make your life colourful D. may not be as cool as it seems CTV PROGRAMMESChannel 1Channel 218:00 Around China18:30 Childrens programme19:00 News19:30 Weather report19:40 Around the world20:10 TV play: Sisters21:00 English for today21:15 Popular music21:55 Talk show17:45 Computers today18:10 Foreign arts18:30 English classroom19:00 Animal world19:25 China9920:20 Sports21:00 TV play: Guo Lanying21:45 English news22:06 On TV next week61.
