“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express the temperature that is a little cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.

“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.

When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you say, “It’s cool!” You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.

But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility. Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool. 41. We know that the word “cool” has hadA.only one meaning B. no meanings C. many different meanings D. the same meaning 42. In the passage, the word “express” meansA. see B. show C. know D. feel

something, you may say, “It’s cool.” A. interested in B. angry about C. worried about D. unhappy with the way the word is used. A. pleased with B. strange to C. worried about D. unhappy to 45. In the passage, the writer tries to tells us the word “cool”. A.can be used instead of many words. http://ually means something interesting. C.can make your life colorful D.may not be as cool as it seems.

It is easier to go down the hill than to climb up the hill, so it is easier to fall into bad habits than into good ones. Bad habits do not come suddenly. They come little by little without one being aware of their danger. School boys first pick up little bad habits in the school and on the street. When they can't write their lessons, they copy from their schoolmates. If they see bigger boys smoking, they also want to learn to smoke. If they see their friends gambling, they want to gamble. When they get bigger, the habits become stronger and stronger, so that they can no longer get rid of them. From copying, they learn to steal, and from gambling, they learn to cheat. At last they become distrusted by everybody. How necessary it is that we get rid of the bad habits in the beginning. 46.It is easier to fall into ______ than into ______ .

For many of us, the idea of a family is a lot narrower than it used to be. Today children go away to college, and take up jobs wherever chances seem greatest. So instead of growing up in a family with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, many of us are truly connected only to our parents and brothers. Many kids today know little of the lives of their relatives and don't care deeply about them. Whether we realize it or not, this feeling of being disconnected makes people feel a kind of lonely. "People need to feel connected,"says Joy Browne, a doctor in the U.S. "And they will do it in the easiest ways." When family members aren't connected, what could be easier than forming a connection to famous people. This isn't something unusual, of course. People cried when Mei Yanfang died in 2003. It's natural and in most ways harmless to feel that way. But that's unhealthy, because these relationships aren't two-way. For that, we need to stay connected to our own families. Parents can help by telling their children stories about their grandparents, aunts and cousins, and by telling them the children's latest activities and interests. We can use technology to keep connected with each other. It's easy to send e-mails to granddad, better yet, take a vacation with members of your relatives--not with any other person. A week or so of relaxing vacation can be a great way to tie up family ties. And when a bad thing happens, no one can be as helpful as your relatives. Because no matter how much we cry for the famous people, they can't be there to cry for us.

A. People should love famous people better than they love their relatives. B. We should always take vacations with our own family members. C. The idea of a family should stay the same. D. The feeling of love should be two-way.

52. The writer talks about technology here to _______. A. tell us the way to improve family relationship B. encourage us to tell others what is happening C. let us know something new about science D. teach us how to send an e-mail

53. The reason why people feel lonely is that ___________.

A. the famous people don't cry for them B. people want better jobs and good schooling C. people aren't as closely connected as before D. kids today know little about their relatives 54. What does the writer write this passage for is A. to keep families from breaking. B. to tell us to care more about each other.

C. to be as helpful as we can. D. to advise families to keep closely connected. 55.Which is TRUE according to the passage

A. For many of us, the idea of a family is a lot wider than it used to be. B. People cried when Mei Yanfang died in 2005.

C. When a bad thing happens, no one can be as helpful as your relatives.

D. A week or so of relaxing vacation can not be a great way to tie up family ties 五、趣味竞答。用一个单词表达。（每小题2分，共10分）
