You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French. The reason goes back to the year 1066, when Norman forces invaded (入侵) what is now Britain. The Normans were from northern France and spoke French. During the Norman occupation, French became the language of England’s rulers and wealthy class. This lasted for more than 300 years. Other people in England continued to speak English during this period.

Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language. However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way.

Take, for example, the French word college. In English, college can often be used in place of the word university, or sometimes as a school within a university. However, in French, college actually means “middle school”, or the level of schooling for students in grades five or six through eight.

There are many other similar words in the two languages with completely different meanings. In English, the word chat is a verb which mean s “to talk casually”; but in French, the word chat is the word for an animal: a cat.

If an English speaker says someone is jolly, that means they are cheerful or friendly. But in French, jolie means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. In any case, both are nice things to say to someone.

21. What language did the upper class speak in Britain of Norman times ?

A. English.

B. French.

C. Both English and French.

D. Some unknown language.

22. What does college mean in French?

A. The teenager time.

B. University in French.

C. Middle school in English.

D. University in common sense.

23. What is the text mainly about?

A. Comparison between two languages.

B. Difficulty in grasping English.

C. French words in English.

D. Development of English.

The world’s two largest pizza chains, Dominos and Pizza Hut, are constantly trying to come up with new ways to keep existing customers and attract new ones. While Dominos attract fans by using high-tech concepts like delivery robots, Pizza Hut focuses on making the delivery box more exciting. In 2015, they introduced a pizza box that could be transformed into a movie projector (放映机) and now, one that turns into a fully functioning DJ.

The battery-powered DJ Pizza box looks like a normal delivery box from outside. However, flip (轻弹) it up and you will find something amazing. To transform the box into a playable DJ, the user has to sync it to a smart phone or computer via Bluetooth and connect it to a DJ software. Once the setup is complete, the DJ can instantly become the life of the party by pressing on the cardboard keys in the box.

As you may have already guessed, getting your hands on this lightweight DJ turntable is not going to be easy. The limited edition box which was shown to the public earlier this month is only available in the United Kingdom, and even worse, at just five of the country’s 350 Pizza Hut location.

Though that is unfortunate, Pizza Hut did introduce a Flick Football Field pizza box for its US fans this week. It features a football field printed on top and comes with removable goal posts, football triangles, and a scorecard. The tabletop game is played by flipping the paper balls back and forth across the board and seeing where they land on the scoreboard. The player with the highest score wins. Though it may not be as exciting as the playable DJ, the game board is easier to obtain since they are available at all US Pizza Hut locations with the purchase of a medium pie.

24. Why does Pizza Hut focus on new forms of delivery boxes?

A. To absorb Dominos.

B. To increase its sales.

C. To make its pizza tastier.

D. To please British customers.

25. What does the underlined word “sync” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Add.

B. Link.

C. Gather.

D. Collect.

26. What do we know about the Flick Football Field box?

A. It is a limited edition pizza box.

B. It is intended for customers in the US.

C. Any Pizza Hut customer can get one.

D. It seems more interesting than a DJ box.

Emoji might not be your first choice of communication in a disaster, but researchers feel they could make a difference during emergencies, where every second counts. Now, the Emoji-quake campaign is lobbying for an earthquake emoji to be accepted into the Unicode— the standard group of icons (图标) available on digital devices worldwide. The campaign aims to find an earthquake-appropriate design to be admitted to Unicode.

“Approximately up to one third of the world’s population are exposed to earthquakes,” explains University of Southampton seismologist (地震学家) Dr. Stephen Hicks, a founder of the campaign. “So we really want to be able to communicate to all of those regions, all of those different languages, and an emoji is an amazing way of doing that.”

Unlike many other weather and climate related events, where longer warning times or visible signs are available, earthquakes move incredibly quickly and are difficult to measure while they are still occurring. Populations in areas like Japan and Mexico are dependent on earthquake early warning technology, which issues an alert on dig ital devices and broadcast media. “You may have seconds to get under a table or to protect yourself,” explains Dr. Hicks. “That can be life saving in many cases. Naturally you don’t want too much wording in the warning message.”

Pictographs (象形文字) and other visuals like emoji have a track record of being faster and easier to understand than written information. Dr. Sara McBride, a communications specialist, who is also part of the campaign, told BBC News, “Emoji can cross the boundaries of written language s, helping communicate valuable information to people who may struggle to read a certain language.”

The potential usefulness of emoji in emergencies could extend well beyond earthquakes. A team of designers also came up with emerji—an entire set of emoji for climate and environmental events.

27. What was the aim of the Emoji-quake campaign?

A. To add an earthquake emoji to the Unicode.

B. To attract people’s attention to earthquakes.

C. To reduce the damages by earthquakes.

D. To help communicate in earthquakes.

28. What can we infer from Dr. Sara McBride’s words about emoji?

A. Visuals like emoji can convey more information.

B. Emoji is being used to convey valuable information.

C. Emoji can cross the boundaries of written languages.

D. Emoji is a universal language in human communication.

29. What may be the relationship between emoji and emerji?

A. Emerji is part of emoji.

B. Emoji is included into emerji.

C. They are two independent systems.

D. Emerji is for events beyond earthquakes.

30. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?

A. Could an emoji save our life?

B. What can emoji do in our life?

C. How is emoji changing our life?

D. Do we really know about emoji?

A Diet Without Enough Protein Can Cause Depression

Depression is a condition so common. 31 The World Health Organization (WHO) calls it “a leading cause of disability.” Difficulty in falling asleep, loss of appetite, and loss of ability to concentrate are just a few of the other effects of depression. While life events such as the loss of a spouse or a job may create a happening of depression, many cases come from within, such as people’s diet.

As is reported, both before and during a happening of depression, those with the condition show a “poor appetite”. 32 On the other hand, depression may be closely related to protein. Many cases of depression happen to those who don’t eat properly, which then result in lack of protein taken into the body.

33 It all comes down to amino acids (氨基酸). Proteins are made up of amino acids. Both the human brain and nervous system use amino acids as a substance that creates a signal from one brain cell to another or one nerve cell to another. With them communication between the cells becomes possible.

34 But eight of them, the “essential” ones for communication between the brain cells, must be eaten in one’s diet. So a diet which is lacking in protein lessens the signal being sent from one brain cell to the next during a thought. The process can lead to twisted signals, which can not only lead to depression, but also aggression. 35

A. It happens with aggression.

B. It may lead to serious effects.

C. But how lack of protein occurs?

D. There are 20 different amino acids.

E. But what does protein have to do with depression?

F. The poor appetite itself can create a depressed mood.

G. This is why depression can often express itself as anger or aggression.

Jatin and his younger sister, Neha, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们).

One day, Jatin took Neha’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he rea lized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Neha agreed and the two decided to share Jatin’s running shoes. Neha’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Jatin. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Jatin often arrived late and was warned by the school.

A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city. When Jatin learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.

The day of race arrived. Jatin had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Neha and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided(碰撞) with Jatin from behind and Jatin crashed to the ground.

作文一：

How to protect the traditional Chinese cultures?

A heated discussion was held in my class recently in order to encourage us students to protect the traditional Chinese cultures.

The students hold different points of view about that. Some suggest resisting Western holidays due to their strong influence. Some argue that we are supposed to hold some creative activities to celebrate traditional cultures so that we can have fun during Chinese festivals. Still others consider various competitions should be held at times, which provides more chances for the citizens to recite Chinese poems and practice calligraphy.

In my view, it is high time that we spared no effort to protect the traditional Chinese cultures. Otherwise we will regret one day.

作文二：

Paragraph 1:

Jatin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this crucial point, Jatin clenched his teeth, jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. Finally, he was the fourth one to dash across the finish line. Jatin couldn’t help sobbing at the thought of letting his sister down. But much to his surprise, the runner who collided with him was disqualified for breaking the rule and Jatin won the third prize. Jatin felt overjoyed and relieved during the award ceremony, holding the shoes close to his chest.

Paragraph 2:

Filled with pleasure, Jatin walked home in no time. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Jatin found Neha was walking about outside nervously and anxiously. “Neha, see what I have got for you.” Jatin said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Neha saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Jatin. “Thank you! Jatin.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.

M: Pedal Power is a small charity based mainly in the UK. At Pedal Power, they collect second-hand bikes in the UK and send them to some of the poorest regions in the world. When they distribute bikes overseas, they don’t give them away for free. In order to continue operating they need to have a constant supply of bikes which they send out every six months. In August 2000, they simply ran out of money. It was a terrible situation. Fortunately, in October 2001 they won an Enterprise Award which helped them enormously.

Dan Pearman is the founder of Pedal Power. He got the idea of exporting bicycles to developing countries while he was in Ecuador. Dan Pearman went there in 1993 and he joined a voluntary organization. Where Dan Pearman lived in Ecuador was a rural area. His neighbor had the only bicycle in the village, whereas everyone else walked everywhere. His neighbor’s business was very successful. For years Dan Pearman couldn’t understand why. Then he realized having a bike meant his neighbor could reach anywhere he liked without much trouble. Other local carpenters could only accept jobs nearby, so no matter how skilled they were, they could never do as many jobs as his neighbor. When he returned to the UK in 1998, he started planning Pedal Power.
