Where is the material probably from?A. Health magazineB. Scientific reportC. Education journalD. Travel guideBPeople love Shakespeare’s vocabulary and creativity. He used at least 15,000 words in his writing! But Bible’s Old Testament (旧约圣经) only contains 5,642 words, Shakespeare also invented many new terms and phrase.If someone’s behavior suggested they were not honest and should not be trusted, Shakespeare called them suspicious. If someone was ridiculous and perhaps looked like a fool, Shakespeare found their actions laughable. And for those who offered their opinions on something’s quality, Shakespeare called them critics (评论家). Today, for instance, food critics and film critics give their opinions on food and film.The familiar phrase “break the ice” comes from Shakespeare’s play The Taming of the Shrew. The “ice is broken” when people in a group, who have never met before, begin to talk to each other by doing some activities. More common words were first used by Shakespeare including “road”, “gossip”, “lonely”, “bump” and “hurry”.Four hundred years after his death. Shakespeare surely lives on, in everyday speech, as the most famous writer of all time.5．Shakespeare’s writings contain ________.A．over 15,000 words B．less than 15,000 wordsC．only 5,642 words D．less than 5,642 words6．Which of following can replace the underlined word “suspicious” on Paragraph 2?A．meaningful B．doubtful C．thoughtful D．powerful 7．Whose actions are considered laughable from Paragraph 2?A．Dishonest people’s B．Silly people’sC．Food critics’D．Film critics’8．What may be the best title for the text?A．Famous Words in English PlaysB．Shakespeare’s Influence on EnglishC．The Famous Writer --- ShakespeareD．Shakespeare’s Great LifeCPeople believe that every word has its correct meaning(s). When we are not sure, we usually check online, or turn to our teachers or dictionaries. But do you know how dictionaries were made in the past?First, dictionary writers read the important books of the period or the subject that the dictionary was about. As they read, they copied necessary information on cards: interesting words, common words—both in their daily uses and unusual uses, and also the sentences where they were used. That is to say, the words, along with the uses of each word, were collected. Fora really big dictionary, millions of such cards were collected. This task could last for years. After the cards were collected, they were put in alphabetical order(A—Z). When this was done, there would be several hundred cards for each single word.Then, to define(定义)a word, the dictionary writer placed its hundreds of cards before him. He read the cards closely, threw away some, read the rest again, and divided up the cards according to what he thought were the common uses of the word. Finally, he wrote the definitions, following the hard-and-fast rule: each definition must come from an example on a certain card in front of him.So, the writing of a dictionary was not a task of inventing meanings of words, but a task of recording their meanings. The writer of a dictionary was a historian, not a law maker.As time develops, the way of producing dictionaries has greatly changed. Nowadays, we can use online dictionaries too. When choosing dictionary.Howevering or writing, we can be guided by the dictionary.However, we cannot be controlled by it, because new situations, new experiences, new inventions, and new feelings are always pushing us to give new uses to old words.9. Which shows the correct steps of how dictionaries were made in the past?A.①—③—④—②B.①—②—④—③C.③—①—④—②D.③—④—②—①10. What can we learn from the passage about dictionary writing in the past?A. It was long-time hard work.B. It was a task of inventing and recording.C. It should be done by historians.D. It had to use the law-making rules.11. What does the writer advise us to do when we choose words in communication?A. Try to create new words.B. Follow the dictionary strictly.C. Use online dictionaries instead.D. Be open to the new uses of words.DWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticedthis one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note — “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery” — and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically (魔术般) appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house. Sometimes when it was too cold outside, we just put the box indoors so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊) . Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.12. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer to __________.A. show a magic trickB. pay for the deliveryC. satisfy his curiosityD. please his mother13. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?A. He wanted to have tea there.B. The milk had to be put indoors every time.C. He was related to the family.D. He was trusted by the family.14. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is not allowed by law.15. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He needed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
