Yet etymologists actually have a uniquely interesting jo

24、b. They are in many ways just like archaeologists (考古学家) digging up the physical history of people and events. The special aspect of etymology is that it digs up history, so to speak, through the words and phrases that are left behind.The English language, in particular, is a great field to explore

25、history through words. As a language, English has an extraordinary number of words. This is partly due to its ability to adapt foreign words so readily. For example, “English” words such as kindergarten (from German), croissant (from French), and cheetah (from Hindi) have become part of the language

26、 with little or no change from their original sounds and spellings. So English-language etymologists have a vast world of words to explore.Another enjoyable thing about etymology for most word experts is solving word mysteries (谜). No, etymologists do not go around solving murders, like the great de

27、tective Sherlock Holmes. What these word experts solve are mysterious origins of some of our most common words.One of the biggest questions English language experts have pursued is how English came to have the phrase OK. Though it is one of the most commonly used expressions, its exact beginning is

28、a puzzle even to this day. Even its spelling is not entirely consistent- unless you spell it Okay, it is hard even to call it a word.Etymologists have been able to narrow OKs origin down to a likely, although not certain, source (来源). It became widely used around the time of Martin Van Burens run fo

29、r president in 1840. His nickname was Old Kinderhook. What troubles word experts about this explanation is that the phrase appeared in some newspapers before Van Buren became well known. It is likely that Van Buren could be called its primary source. Etymologists will doubtlessly keep searching for

30、the original source. However, it is clear that OKs popularity and reputation have topped those of the American president to whom it has been most clearly linked.41. The author mentions the words like “croissant” in Paragraph 2 to show _.A. words have changed a lot in the two languagesB. what English

31、-language etymologists are exploring nowC. English has absorbed many words from other foreign languagesD. the English vocabulary is difficult to the non-English-speaking people42. The underlined word “pursued” in Paragraph 4 means _.A. looked uponB. dug upC. put inD. set down43. We can learn from th

32、e passage that etymologists _.A. discover the possible origin of wordsB. help detectives to solve mysterious murdersC. write interesting stories for some newspapersD. explore the English language as well as the recent events44. What most probably is the major purpose of the passage?A. To present the

33、 history of English words.B. To explain what an etymologist does for his job.C. To introduce the pleasure of the study of words and word roots.D. To teach readers how to tell English words from non-English words.BYou might notice something new in the next few years as you watch Disney programs: Star

34、ting in 2015, there wont be any candy, sugary cereal or fast-food commercials (广告) aimed at kids. The Walt Disney Company has become the first major media company to ban ads for junk food on its TV channels, radio stations and websites. It hopes this will stop kids from making poor food choices. Fir

35、st Lady Michelle Obama called it a “game changer” that is sure to send a message to the rest of the childrens entertainment industry. “Just a few years ago, if you had told me or any other mom or dad in America that our kids wouldnt see a single ad for junk food while they watched their favorite car

36、toons on a major TV network, we wouldnt have believed you, ” said the First Lady, who heads a campaign to help stop child obesity (肥胖). The ban would apply to Disney-owned ABC stations as well as Radio Disney and Disney-owned websites aimed at families with young children. In addition, Disney plans

37、to make changes to its kids menus at theme parks and resorts (度假胜地). Fast-food options will be replaced with healthier choices, such as smoothies (果汁), apples, vegetables and yogurt. In addition to candy bars and fast-food meals, other foods that dont meet Disneys nutritional standards will be banne

38、d from the companys kid-targeted media. Any cereal with 10 grams or more of sugar per serving will be off the air. There will be no ads for full meals of more than 600 calories. Juices with high levels of sugar and foods with too much salt will also be pulled. Leslie Goodman, Disneys senior vice-pre

39、sident of Corporate Citizenship, said a company that wants to advertise will need to show that it offers a range of healthy options. Disney isnt the only one pushing away unhealthy foods. Last week, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested a ban on drinks over 16 ounces sold in movie theaters

40、, restaurants and convenience stores in the Big Apple. He says large, sugary drinks are partly to blame for obesity. 45.What will the Walt Disney Company do from 2015? A. Produce more and better cartoons for young kids. B. Help kids develop healthy lifestyle in the program.C. Stop broadcasting adver

41、tisements for junk food on TV.D. Provide healthier food for kids while they are watching programs. 46.What Michelle Obama said suggests that while watching cartoons, _. A. kids didnt believe what the commercials saidB. kids enjoy eating candy, sugary cereal or junk foodC. kids find pleasure in watch

42、ing fast-food commercials D. kids were to see a lot of fast-food commercials on TV47.According to Michael Bloomberg, to fight child obesity, kids should _. A. watch fewer cartoons B. drink less sugary drinksC. not go to movie theaters D. take more physical exerciseCOne morning, I stepped out of bed

43、and put my feet on the floor. Suddenly, a mean little man jumped out from under the bed and stabbed (刺，扎) an ice pick (碎冰锥) through my left foot.Figuratively (比喻地) speaking, yes.I took another step and he stabbed it again. This went on all day. Step, stab, scream. Over the next few days, I started l

44、imping (跛行). My whole body hurt. Even my hair. I kept thinking that the little man would get tired of stabbing me and go pick on somebody else. We often take things for granted until we lose them or they start to hurt.My brother deals with pain every day. Hes also blind and suffers from cerebral pal

45、sy (脑瘫), needs a walker to walk, doesnt take much for granted. I had to wonder: What would he think about my foot?Finally, after a week of pain, I went to see a very nice foot doctor. The doctor studied my foot, took X-rays, shook his head, and said the little mans name: Arthur Itis, or Arthritis (关

46、节炎).I knew it well. Id often heard it hissed angrily by my grandparents and parents, all attacked by Arthurs ice pick when they got older.“Wait,” I said. “Doesnt Arthur usually just pick on old people?”The doctor smiled, looking at my chart. “How old are you?”I gave him a look. “Never mind,” I said.

47、 “Can you fix it?”“Well,” he said, “we can try.”He listed several options and I chose the injection (打针). It didnt hurt much. Not half as much as the ice pick.That was yesterday. This morning, I awoke, took a few careful steps and hallelujah! It hurt just a bit, but no ice pick. I looked under the bed. No s
