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 Anglo-Saxon．The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.According to language experts, English speakers who have never studied French may already know 15,000 French words! Between one-third and two-thirds 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” keep their French pronunciations in both languages.In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender (性别), so adjectives take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came fromFrench. The word “blond” describes someone with light-colored hair. “Blond” is used for men, and “blonde” describes women. And they are also n ouns.Some French words that entered the English language have completely different meanings. The French phrase “a la mode” means “in style”. In English, the phrase means “with the 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!21.French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because __________.A. too many French moved to BritainB. French brought animals with themC. the king and his officials spoke FrenchD. the king allowed French to be spoken22.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．23.What conclusion can we draw from the text?A. Language is closely related to history and culture.B. French and English words have little in common.C. Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.D. French combines English and the Native Anglo-Saxon.BEveryone knows how the story of Cinderella does everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals before she meets the prince. If someone asked Cinderella, “Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?” She probably would answer , “Why , none , of course. Housework is my duty!” In the real world, however, most people have certain dislikes for some kinds of household work. Two of these tasks are ironing（熨）clothes and washing dishes.Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly. Each piece of clothing must be handled（处理）separately, so ironing a basket of them can take hours! If you do not follow directions carefully, it might become wrinkled and you have to start over. Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thingto do. It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end.Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes. Of course, some peopleclaim that this work is no longer a problem because, we have dishwashers now! However, noone would argue that dishes, silverware, and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasherdon’t come out as clean as they do when washed by hand. For this reason, many of us continueto wash our dishes. And it is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requiresthe patience to wash and dry them. In addition, unlike ironing clothes, washing dishes isa thing that usually must be done every day. I don’t know how Cinderella felt about thisparticular task, but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do.24. For Cinderella, doing household work is __________.A. what she hates to doB. what she is responsible forC. what she loves to doD. what she is content with25. Most people hate to do clothes-ironing because _________.A. it takes a lot of timeB. it has to be done by one personC. it must be handled skillfullyD. it needs careful planning26. Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machine washing because _________.A. hand washed dishes are cleanerB. dishwashers are not so easily handledC. some dishes cannot be washed by machineD. washing dishes by hand is cheaper27.Ironing is different from washing dishes in that _________.A. it requires patienceB. it is not a daily houseworkC. it is not tiringD. it needs less careCEverybody is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure of your own can disappear if you learnthat a fellow worker has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he is known as being lazy,you might even be quite angry. Such behavior is re garded as “all too human”, with theunderlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed senseof sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, whichhas just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys. They looksmart. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily. Above all, like female human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnan’s study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens (奖券) for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms so that each could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different.In the world of monkeys, grapes are ex cellent goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey.The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses. In the wild, they are co-operative and group-living. Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not the nature of human beings alone. Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.28.The underlined statement “it is all too monkey” means that ____________.A. monkeys are also angry with lazy fellowsB. feeling angry at unfairness is also monkey’s natureC. monkeys, like humans, tend to be envious of each otherD. no animals other than monkeys can develop such feelings29.It can be learned from the passage that ____________.A. only monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in the worldB. women will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treatedC. in the wild, monkeys are unhappy to share their food with each otherD. monkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes, for grapes are more attractive30.Which of the following conclusions is true according to the passage?A. Human beings’ feelings of anger developed from the monkeys.B. In the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with others.C. Co-operation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated.D. The sense of fairness among monkeys probably dates back to 35 million years ago.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，共10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
