How words came into being is unknown. All we assume（推測）is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.
The 
power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call literary style（文體）. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and common.
1.We learn from the text that language might have begun with
A. actions B. expressions C. sounds D. signs
2.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?
A. The relation of human experience with words.

Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pet in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.
Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.
If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.
1.. The word shelter in paragraph one means:
A. warm clothes B. a hiding place
C. proper temperature D. diet food
2.. What do we learn about pets from Paragraph one?
A. They are often forgotten by their owners.
B. They like to stay in warm places.
C. They build their own shelters.
D. They are used to living outdoors.
3.. Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are in cold weather?
A. To keep company.
B. To keep them from eating bad food
C. To help them find shelters.
D. To know when to bring them inside
4.. If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may ______.
A. run short of clean water B. dig deep holes for fun
C. dirty the snow nearby D. get lost in the wild
5.. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To solve a problem
B. To give practical advice

Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experience as a young man. Before he retired,Frank was a head of a very large business company,but as a boy he used to working in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at this time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years but in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own. In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. In few years the small workshop had become a large factory which had employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hardly early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door open and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair her grandson's bicycle！

科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆廣東省高一下期末英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解
Europe is now the biggest market for organic food in the world, having grown by 25 percent a year over the past 10 years. Denmark’s agriculture minister is herself an organic farmer. The UK market for organic food grew by 55 percent in 2000, while the food market as a whole grew by only one percent. Yet only seven percent of British shoppers account for nearly 60 percent of organic sales. However popular the idea of organic farming may be, it is still an interest for only a few people.
So what makes the idea of organic farming popular? Organic farming means farming with natural materials, rather than with man-made fertilizers or pesticides(殺蟲劑). Organic farmers rely on many methods — such as crop rotation (農(nóng)作物的輪作) and the use of resistant（有抵抗力的）varieties, because they are necessary for organic farmers to compensate for the shortage of man-made chemicals.
Organic farming is often supposed to be safer than traditional farming for the environment. Yet after a long research on organic farming worldwide for a number of years, science continues to be against this opinion. The House of Commons committee on agriculture stated that, even with complete research work, it would fail to find any scientific evidence to prove “that any of claims made for organic farming is always true”.
However, the talk about the benefits of organic farming is going on. This is partly because many people depend on their individual farm, the soil, the weather, and so on.
1.The first paragraph mainly tells us _________.
A. organic farming has been performed only in Europe over the past 10 years.
B. governments of European countries have cared less about organic farming.
C. organic farming isn’t so popular as expected.
D. European countries need organic food more than the other countries in the world.
2.The underlined words “compensate for” in the second paragraph probably mean “_________”.
A. argue for B. care for
C. make up for D. pay for
3. What can we know about organic farming?
A. It refers to farming with natural materials, instead of chemical fertilizers.
B. It refers to farming with chemical fertilizers rather than natural fertilizers.
C. It refers to farming with soil rather than any other thing.
D. It refers to growing crops with man-made fertilizers and pesticides.
4.According to the third paragraph, _________.
A. organic farming is safer than traditional farming for the environment.
B. the idea that organic farming is safer has not been proven by science.
C. organic farming is accepted by the UK’s House of Commons committee.
D. organic farming is preferred to traditional farming.
5.Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. The UK’s agriculture minister is an organic farmer.
B. Organic farming is popular with young people.
C. Farmers try every means to improve the organic sales system.
D. Ninety-three percent of British shoppers don’t buy organic products.
