The large part which war played in English affairs in the Mid dle-Ages, the fact that the control of the army and navy was in the h ands of those that spoke French, and the circumstances that much of E nglish fighting was done in France all resulted in the introduction i nto English of a number of French military terms. The art of war has undergone such changes since the battles of Hastings, Lewes, and Agin court that many words once common are now only in historical use. The ir places have been taken by later borrowings, often like wise from F rench, many of them being words acquired by the French in the course of their wars in Italy during the sixteenth century. Yet we still use French words of the Middle Ages when we speak of the army and the na vy, of peace, enemy, battle, soldier, guard and spy, and we have kept the names of officers such as captain and sergeant. Some of the Fren ch terms were introduced into English because they were needed to exp ress a new object or a new idea.In other cases a French and a native English word for the same thing existed side by side. Sometimes one o r the other has since been lost from the language; but sometimes both the borrowed and the native word have been still in common use.1). The main idea of this passage is that ____A. most of today’s common English military terms dated from the sixt eenth century or laterB. a study of the English vocabulary shows the important part which w ar has played in the history of EnglandC. many French words borrowed into English during the Middle Ages hav e since disappeared from the languageD. many military terms used in English were originally borrowed from French, some as early as the Middle Ages满分：4 分2).

France invaded England in the Middle Ages and many battles were fo ught in EnglandD. much of English fighting was done in France in the war between Eng land and France满分：4 分3). The art of war has undergone such changes that ___A. we no longer use any French words of the Middle AgesB. many words once common are not used any longer and they are replac ed by Italian wordsC. French military terms have disappeared from the English languageD. many words once common are now only in historical use and their pl aces have been taken by the newly-borrowed words满分：4 分4).

In other word s, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all —whether rich or poor, clever or stupid —one can solve all the problems of society and build a per fect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is no t enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people wit h university degrees; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand tha t the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important th an that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food.If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our hous es, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for li fe, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, ea ch of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.1).

The purpose of education isA. to choose a system of educationB. to prepare children mainly for their future workC. to let everyone receive education fit for himD. to build a perfect world满分：4 分5).

When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how th ey could best show their respect for him. One suggestion was that the nation observed a minute or two of total blackout. All electric powe r would be shut off in homes, streets and factories.Perhaps this suggestion made Americans realize fully what Edison and his inventions meant to them. Electric power was too important to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion. A blackout was out of the question.On the day of Ed ison’s funeral, many people silently dimmed thei r lights. In this way they honored the man who had done more than any one else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen’s f ingertips.1).
