Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenborn is someone who has no experience. In the 15th century, a greenborn was a young cow or an ox whose borns(角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenborn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenborn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). The expression comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well. The Green Revolution(绿色革命) is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. It was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling. Jealousy(嫉妒). The green eyed monster is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants.
In most places in the world, a green light is a signal(信号) to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means approval(赞成) to continue with a project.
36. A new solider was called a greenborn in the ____ century.
A. 15th
B. 16th
C. 18th
D. 20th
37. A person with a green thumb____.
A. is good at growing plant
B. really has a green thumb
C. has no experience in war
D. is new in a job
38. A man may meet the green eyed monster if ____.
A. he sees a dangerous animal
B. he can’t get something
C. he reads a sad play
D. his friend gets a prize that he wants
39. This passage doesn’t mention the history of the expression “____”.
A. a green thumb
B. a greenborn
C. the green eyed monster
D. a green light
40. Which would be the best title of the passage?

试题分析：句意：虽然罗伯特只是一位11岁的男孩，但是他擅长弹钢琴。

play后跟的棋类、乐器名词前要加定冠词the，球类名词前不加冠词。

前空填the；后句表示“一位11岁的男孩”，“一……”是不定冠词a/an 的用法,a用在以辅音开始的单词前，an用在以元音开始的单词前，eleven的第一个音[i]是元音，用不定冠词an。

D. was started
【答案】D
【解析】
句意：俱乐部在今年年初成立，现在有很多会员。

started是start的过去式或过去分词。

故选D。

B. So I do
C. So does she
D. So do I
【答案】D
【解析】
句意：-在购物的时候，苏珊总是带着布袋。

-我也是。

我购物时从不要塑料袋。

So+do+主语，此句型为倒装结构,其主语与上文句子中的主语是不同的，so代表上句中陈述的肯定内容，do可以是连系动词、情态动词或助动词,且必须与上句中的谓语动词保持时态的一致,意思为“…也是如此”。

故选D。

点睛：“So+do+主语”与“So+主语+do”是中学生在平时学习中最容易混淆。

“So+do+主语”表示另外的人或物也和上述情况一样；“So+主语+do”这是一种简单的答语,是对上文所说的情况加以肯定。

15.—Do you think Mary will like that picture?
—________.It's the ugliest one I've ever seen.
A. No way
B. Promise
C. Me too
D. You bet
【答案】A

C
Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenborn is someone who has no experience. In the 15th century, a greenborn was a young cow or an ox whose borns(角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenborn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenborn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). The expression comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well. The Green Revolution(绿色革命) is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. It was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling. Jealousy(嫉妒). The green eyed monster is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants.
In most places in the world, a green light is a signal(信号) to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means approval(赞成) to continue with a project.
