  Ⅳ. 阅读理解
  “Colour”and“color”,“favourite”and“favorite”... Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a“u”? Is it because they are lazy?
  Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was created by Noah Webster (1758—1843). He was a teacher who changed some English to make American identity stronger. Linguists celebrated his 254th birthday on October 16.   After the Revolutionary War (1775—1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British edition.
  He dropped the British“u”in some words. And he changed“centre”into“center”for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded.
  Webster wasn’t shy about expressing his opinions. In defining (定义)“preposterous”(unreasonable), he wrote,“Republican government in the hands of females is preposterous.”
  Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000—word dictionary in 1828 with his American—style spelling. He also added local words.
  His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new nation achieve unity(统一)and cultural independence at a time when most were focused on political freedom.
  “He was the shaper of our language and the shaper of American identity,”said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a biography(传记)about Webster.“He at last united us through our language.”
  1. According to the passage, when he worked on his dictionary, Noah Webster did all of the following except ___ .
  A. dropped“u”in all the British words
  B. changing“centre”into“center”
  C. adding local words
  D. voicing his ideas
  2. When did Webster propably begin his project of the dictionary?
  A. In 1758. B. In 1783.
  C. In 1800. D. In 1828.
  3. Why did Webster created these differences in his dictionary?
  A. Because he wanted to make English simple and easy.
  B. Because he wanted American English to have its own identity.
  C. Because he wanted to achieve political freedom.
  D. Because he wanted to show that the USA is stronger than the UK.
  4. Which of the following would probably be the best title for the passage?
  A. Webster’s Dictionary
  B. American Identity
  C. The Shaper of American English
  D. Spelling Differences Between American English and British English

  The moment Frank, Jasmine and their parents settled in a small, comfortable hotel at the bottom of a mountain, they went outside and looked around. What they saw around them were huge mountains. “I can’t wait to ski,” said Frank.
  The next day they set off very early. They took the chairlift up to the top of one mountain. They got out at the top of the mountain and looked down at the village. They could only see small matchbox houses and the people walking round were ants.   Frank and Jasmine set off down the mountain at top speed. This mountain was much steeper than the others. Jasmine felt herself going out of control and fell into some soft green trees.
  “Are you okay?”Frank turned back and shouted from a distance.
  “Yes, I’m alright,”she shouted back.
  Then Jasmine heard a low noise from the other side of the mountain. She looked across and saw that the clouds were black. The noise continued and then she saw it. A huge sheet of white snow was heading towards Frank.
  “Frank, ski quickly!” she shouted.“It’s an avalanche (雪崩)!”And suddenly everything was dark.
  Then the search began. But no sign of the children was found. As the dark clouds brought rain and then more snow in the afternoon, it was almost impossible to search. The rescue (救援)team were about to give up the search when they heard Bruno, Frank and Jasmine’s pet dog, barking loudly in the green trees. He came out of the trees carrying a boot. It was one of Frank’s.
  The team followed Bruno into the trees and found Frank lying under them. Not far away, Jasmine was found. They were taken to hospital. After a week they felt much better. One afternoon Bruno came to visit them. Jasmine said,“Thank you, Bruno. You saved our lives!”The dog barked happily.
  1. How did Frank feel when he arrived at his destination?
  A. Nervous. B. Excited.
  C. Curious. D. Surprised.
  2. Why did Jasmine fall into some green trees?
  A. Because she realized something dangerous in front.
  B. Because she was frightened by the sudden avalanche.
  C. Because the slope was very steep.
  D. Because she was attracted by the fascinating scenery.
  3. We can learn from the passage that ___ .
  A. the mountain they skied on was not as high as the others
  B. Frank was the first person to realize there was an avalanche

  A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves—the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.   We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
  This“self—talk”helps us motivate(刺激)ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware(意识到的), though, that as much as 77% of self—talk is likely to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”
  Often, words come out of our mouths without thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
  Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret(后悔)something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.
  Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self—esteem(自尊)and encourage others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
  5. The main idea of Paragraph 1 is that ___ .
  A. not sticks and stones but words will hurt us
  B. inspiring words give us confidence
  C. negative words may let us down
  D. words have a lasting effect on us
  6. There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because ___ .
  A. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves
  B. we can benefit from talking to ourselves
  C. talking to ourselves always gives us courage
  D. it does no harm to have “self—talk” when we are alone
  7. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 means that we should also timely ___ .
  A. praise ourselves
  B. remind ourselves
  C. make ourselves relaxed
  D. give ourselves amusement
  8. The author would probably hold the view that ___ .
  A. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers
  B. negative words may encourage us to make more progress
  C. people are likely to remember friendly words
  D. it is better to think twice before talking to others
