17、skating champion like my hero, Eric Heiden, I want to be a doctor like my parents and I want to help children in Africa.”I immediately knew I had confided (吐露) in the right person when a knowing smile broke across her face.” Johann, of course! You can do anything you want to do!” she said simply. An

18、d with my grandmothers support, I set out to pursue my passions.14 years later, I was well ready to take hold of my first dream: becoming an Olympic champion. The Olympics in 1994 was in my home country, Norway. As I entered the Olympic stadium, I wasnt the best athlete, and many had doubts about my

19、 ability to perform well. But I had something special working for me. I had a woman in the first row who believed in me following my passions just as much as I did. For the first time ever, my grandmother was going to see me skate.It happened. Breaking a world record, I won the gold.As I stood on th

20、e podium (领奖台) that I had dreamed about my entire life, a curious question popped into my head. Why me? Why did I win, given all the other incredible competitors out there? The reason had to be more than a grandmother who shared a belief in her grandsons dream.The question led me to only one answer：

21、because I wanted to make a difference in the world, and with all the media attention on my success, I could. I immediately knew what that difference had to be: hope in the lives of the children in Africa.Six months earlier, Id been invited to Eritrea as an ambassador(使者) for Olympic Aid.24. When the

The Manhattan High Line is different. Raised 25 feet above the ground, this massive metal structure once supported

25、 a rail line. The line opened in 1934 but it was hardly used after the 1960s, and much of it was torn down. However, one part remained in a region of Manhattan called Chelsea. Chelsea was becoming high-class restaurants, art galleries and apartments were built, but the ugly structure remained as a d

26、ead weight. Everyone knew that at some time, it would have to be removed.But the High Line was not destroyedIn fact, now the old rail line serves as one of the most peaceful places in the city. The idea to change the rail line into a park came from Joshua David and Robert Hammond. In 1999, they atte

27、nded a community meeting to decide how to decide the fate of the High Line. David and Hammond were the only people at the meeting interested in saving the historical structure. Later on, when they asked railway officials to take them up to look at the High Line，they saw a mile and a half of wild flo

28、wers growing in the middle of the city，and they realized that the High Line had potential (潜力) to become a parkThere was growing interest in improving city centers, and so the project quickly developed and money for construction was easily collected.The first part of the High Line opened in 2009 and

29、 immediately became popular with tourists and locals alikeEach part of the park has a different atmosphere. Some areas are like balconies with wonderful city viewsOther areas have wide lawns and walkways planted with wild flowers. Only the final section remains the way it has been for the last fifty

32、 C. similar to what it used to be D. useful to learn different plants31. What is the text mainly about?A. Protection of cultural relics B. An unusual place for a parkC. Improving city transport D. Closing a train lineDWhile many of us may have been away somewhere nice last summer, few would say that

33、 weve “summered.” “Summer” is clearly a noun, more exactly, a verbed noun.Way back in our childhood, we all learned the difference between a noun and a verb. With such a clear definition, it was easy to spot the difference. Not so in adulthood, where we are expected to “foot” bills, “chair” committe

34、es, and “dialogue” with government officials. Chances are you didnt feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns.“The verbing of nouns is as old as the English language,” says Patricia OConner, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review. Experts estimate that 20 percent of all Eng

35、lish verbs were originally nouns. And the phenomenon seems to be snowballing. Since 1900, about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns.Even though conversion (转化) is quite universal, plenty of grammarians are against the practice. William Strunk Jr. and E.B.White, in The Elements of Style

36、the Bible for the use of American English have this to say: “Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs. Not all are bad, but all are suspect.” The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint, advising writers to use verbs with great care. “Sometimes people object to a new verb

37、 because they reject what is unfamiliar to them,” says OConner. Thats why were comfortable “hosting” a party, but we might feel upset by the thought of “medaling” in sports. So are there any rules for verbing? Benjamin Dreyer, copy chief at Random House, doesnt offer a rule, but suggests that people

38、 think twice about “verbifying” a noun if its easily replaceable by an already existing popular verb. Make sure its descriptive but not silly-sounding, he says. In the end, however, style is subjective. Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries; it is one of th

39、e processes(过程) that make English “English.” Not every coinage(新创的词语) passes into general use, but as for trying to end verbing altogether, forget it.32. What can we learn about the verbing of nouns? A. It has recently been supported by many grammarians. B. It is more commonly accepted by children t

40、han adults.C. It hasnt been a rare phenomenon in the past century.D. It is easily replaced by existing verbs in practice 33. What is most leading experts attitude towards the practice of the verbing of nouns? A. Unconcerned. B. Satisfied. C. Disappointed. D. Cautious 34.What does the author think of

41、 ending the verbing of nouns? A. Impossible. B. Practical. C. necessary. D. Predictable35. What is the best title for the text?A. Are 40 Percent of all new verbs from nouns? B. Are You Comfortable about a New Verb? C. Are Summering and Medaling Annoying? D. Are There Any Rules for Verbing?第二节(共5 小题;
