    CANYOUIMAGINEHOWHARDITWOULDBETOREADSENTENCESLIKETHIS? The ancient Greeks wrote this way. The lack of punctuation marks(標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號) probably didn’t bother good readers, though. As they read, they just put pauses where they fit best. Also at this time, sentences switched directions. A sentence read from left to right. The next one read right to left, and then left to right again, etc.

    The ancient Romans sometimes punctuated like this: They·put·a·point·between·each·word·in·a·sentence. The word punctuation actually comes from this idea and the Latin word punctum, which means a prick(刺).

           When the 5th century arrived, there were just two punctuation marks: spaces and points. The space separated words and while the points showed pauses in reading. Then in the 13th century, a printer named Aldus Manutius tried to standardize punctuation. He always used a period for a complete stop at the end of a sentence. He used a slash (/) to indicate a short pause. Over time, that slash was shortened and curled, and it became the modern comma.

           Since that time, other marks have enlarged the punctuation family. The exclamation mark comes form the Latin word xt. It was originally formed by putting an upper-case(大寫字母) I on the lower-case xt. The Latin word xt means “exclamation of joy.” The question mark originally started out as the Latin word question, meaning question. Eventually, scholars put it at the end of a sentence to show a question. Over time, it became a symbol formed by putting a lower-case q on an o.

             Punctuation is still changing today. New marks are coming into existence, and old punctuation marks are used in new ways. Take for example, the “interrobang.” This 1962 invention combines the question mark and exclamation mark for times when writers want both. For example, “She did what??” or “How much did you pay for that dress??” Obviously, the interrobang is not widely used or recognized – yet. But its invention shows that English is not yet finished with its punctuation.

    Which of the following is a comma?

    A. ,                             B. :                       C.   ;                    D. !

    What’s the first paragraph mainly about?

    A. The history of punctuation.

    B. The introduction of punctuation.

    C. The very beginning of punctuation.

    D. The ancient Greek way of writing without punctuation.

    Please put the following events in the order they happened.

    a. The exclamation mark and question mark came into the punctuation family.

    b. Comma came into existence.

    c. Romans put a dot between words to separate words.

    d. A period was used to end a sentence.

    e. The “interrobang” was invented.

    A. cbdae                B. dcbae                C. dbcea                D. cdbae

    What is the most possible situation for “She did what??”?

    A. You are told she gave her baby boy a good beat.

    B. You are wondering what she did to save the poor boy.

    C. You want to know what she did for a living after fleeing to a foreign country.

    D. You demand someone else tell you what in the world happened to her.

    According to the article, we learn ________.

    A. punctuation didn’t come into being until the 5th century.

    B. no one can really tell what new marks we may have in the future.

    C. the invention of “interrobang” is a failure since it is not widely used.

    D. both the exclamation mark and the question mark come from Greek words.

    根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
    __1__ From 18-25, according to I.Q. scores;  but you are wiser and more experienced with increasing age.
    You are smartest in your 20`s; around 30, your memory begins to go down, particularly your ability to perform mathematical computations, __2__ Your vocabulary at the age of 45, for example , is three times as great as then you graduated form college. At 60, your brain possesses almost four times as much information as it did at the age of21.
    __3__ You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24; the best professional sense form 40 to 49.
    Before the age of 24, we believe that our happiest years are yet to come; over 3 0, we believe that they are behind us. A National Health survey agrees: after the age of 30, we “ become more realistic and do not view happiness as a goal in itself. If we maintain our health, achieve professional and emotional goals, happiness, we feel, will follow”.
    __4__ Generally between 30 and 39, but the peak(頂峰) varies with different professions.
    Mosart wrote a symphony(交響曲) and four sonatas by the age of 8, and Mendelssohn composed(作曲) his best known work A Midsummer Night` s Dream, at 17, but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 39.
    Though the peak in most fields comes early, most Nobel Prize winners did their top research in their late 20`s and 30`---creative people continue to produce work with high quality throughout their lives.__5__.

    A.When are you most creative (創(chuàng)造性的)?
    B.When are you happiest?
    C.When are you smartest?
    D.Do you know what I.Q. refers to?
    E. But your I.Q. for other tasks goes up.
    F. Creative people usually produce a lot of works.
    G. For the “well-conditioned mind”, there is no upper limit.

    Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

    A. Be well-organized.

    B. Close with a Q & A.

    C. Don’t be contradictory .

    D. Bring it to a specific end.

    E. Speak slowly and pause.

    F. Drop unnecessary words.

    Speaking to a group can be difficult, but listening to a bad speech is truly a tiresome task—especially when the speaker is confusing. Don’t want to confuse your audience? Follow these suggestions:

    1.When it comes to understanding new information, the human brain needs a little time. First, we hear the words; then, we compare the new information to what we already know. If the two are different, we need to pause and think. But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us. Slow it.

    2.Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions, which is very difficult to follow. When you confuse your listeners with opposing information, you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember. Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself, work to get the facts clear and straight.

    3.Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus (責(zé)任)on your listeners to make up for your lack of organization. And it’s confusing for them to listen, reorganize, and figure out what you’re saying all at once. But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily. You can arrange things from beginning to end, small to large, top to bottom or by some other order. Just be sure to organize.

    4.Repeated use of um, ah, like, you know and some other useless noises can drive an audience crazy. It makes the speaker sound uncertain and unprepared, and it can leave listeners so annoyed that they can’t pay attention. Recently I attended a speech that was marked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes. Was anybody grasping the intended message? Um, probably not.

    5.Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer (Q & A) sessions, but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end. The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave. Do your listeners a favour by setting a time limit on questions, and close your speech with a specific signal—even if it’s something simple like, “If you have any more questions, you know where to reach me.”

    Or even more to the point, conclude your speech with “Thanks for your time. ”
