Ⅱ.阅读理解
Do you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat？Why do they use pig and pork，cow and beef，and sheep and mutton？To find out，we have to go back to 1066，when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne(王位)，which not only changed the government but also changed the language.French became the language of the upper classes of society.And it remained that way for 300 years.Only these high society people could afford to eat meat.As a result，French words like porc(pork) and beouf(beef) came into the English language.However，poor English farmers raised the animals.So the English language retained the words pig and cow from the native Anglo­Saxon.
The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language.Seventy­five percent of them are still in use today.
Language experts estimate that English speakers who have never studied French already know 15,000 French words！Between one­third and two­thirds of all English words have French origins.Some words such as possible and avenue are the same in French and English；only the pronunciations change.Other
words such as ballet or a la carte(照菜单点菜) retain their French pronunciations in both languages.
In French grammar，nouns have either a male or female gender，so adjectives(形容词) take different forms for each.English has only one adjective that does this，and it came from French.The word blond describes someone with light­colored hair.Blond is used for men，and blonde describes women.And they are also nouns.
Some French words that entered the English language have taken on completely different meanings.The French phrase a la mode means “in style”．In English，the phrase means “with ice cream”．Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!
Now，as you learn English，you’re on your way to learning French!
16．French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because ________.
A．too many French moved to Britain
B．French brought animals with them
C．the king and his officials spoke French
D．the king allowed French to be spoken
17．Which word can replace the word “retained” in Paragraph 1?
A．Adopted. B．Kept.
C．Introduced. D．Deserted.
18．Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn?
A．Because English and French share similar pronunciations.
B．Because English grammar and French grammar are similar.
C．Because a large number of English words have French origins.
D．Because English has great influences on the French language.
19．French grammar is distinct from English grammar in that ________.
A．no words have the same pronunciations
B．all words have the same pronunciations
C．English nouns have a male or female gender
D．French nouns have different adjective forms
20．What conclusion can we draw from the text?

B．French and English words have nothing in common.
C．Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.
D．English combines French and the native Anglo­Saxon.
Ⅲ.任务型读写
The e­book is a downloadable book that can be put right onto your e­reader, certain cellphones and computers. There are websites that sell e­books where you can buy them and load them r ight onto whatever device you choose. The e­book makes it possible to take reading with you, without the mess of carrying dozens of books around with you.
However, not all book authors are okay with having their books in digital format. The creator of Harr y Potter says that her books will never be an e­book, and many just like her feel the same way. However, there are lots of authors who absolutely love the idea and feel it’s the next step to keep books alive.
The e­book can be loaded onto an e­reader which is a mini­device that is slim and small just like a cellphone. It usually has a touch pad screen and can hold a few hundred books. That’s perfect
news for people who travel on planes or go on holidays and would love to take a collection with them but woul dn’t carry fifty hard covers.
The other great thing about e­readers is that you can read e­books on them quickly and there’s no need for two hands to hold the book and turn the page; it is more convenient for people to read it. Most of them also have a nig ht light, so if you want to read at night but don’t want a big light on to wake your partner, the e­reader is ideal.
Websites that sell e­books have their sites looking just like ordinary book store websites. There
is a list for best­sellers and a new rele ase (发行) section. There is also clearance e­books on sale and gift certificates available to give to someone who also downloads e­books. They seem to cost the same amount of money as buying a paperback book.
