All we really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts 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 torepresent those sounds, and which could be written down, these sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things 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 to us 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（文体）. 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 （粗俗的）.36. Which is true about origin of language? DA.

Overahundred years ago, Charles Dickens shocked many of his readers when he described the conditions under which young children worked in British factories. The conditions Dickens described continue almost unchanged today in many parts of the world. The only difference is that today employment of children is confined to small industries and family businesses, such as hotels, restaurants and particularly farms, rather than to large factories.Girls suffer more from child labor practices than boys. Many of them are forced to start it is often harmful to their health. Recently, children as young as six years were found to be working in Asian factories, and the children were working from eight to fourteen hours a day in overcrowded and unhealthy working condition. Sometimes a whole family group is employed, with the payment going to parent or older relative. The children not only receive nothing orvery little for theirlone hours of work, but also they are prevented from attending school. Therefore, when they become older they are unable to do any other kind of work.The solution to the problem of chills labor is clearly better laws to protect young children, great supervision of industry and heavier fines for those who break the laws. Only in this way can young boys and girls be allowed to enjoy the most valuable time of their lives childhood.30. Which of the following statements is true according to the first paragraph?

However, French almost became the official language because of a war.The French and IndianWarwas fought between 1754 and 1763. The name ofthis war is not actually between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of French.France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. When the French built a fort on the Ohio River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1754. However, the French defeated Washington.The French, aided by the Indians, outsmarted the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec, Canada, General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France. Both generals died in his battle, but the English outlasted the French and won the battle. Thus, most of North America today has the English culture and language.35. A good title for this selection is AA. The French and Indian WarB.The English LanguageC. Washington's ArmyD.
