We all use them, often without noticing what were doing. I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last wee

37、k, and I said “Ill pencil it in my diary”, and my friend said “You can ink it in”, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one!Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax, which is a shortening of facsimile originally, an exact copy of a bo

38、ok or document. We all got used to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising wed fax it immediately. So, nouns turn into verbs in two easy stages. Then along came email, and we were soon all emailing each other madly. How did we do without it? I

39、can hardly imagine life without my daily emails. Email reminds me, of course， of my computer and its software, which has produced another couple of new verbs. On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think Ill want to look at again, thus saving all the effort of remem

40、bering their addresses and calling them up from scratch. I can do the same thing on my PC, but there I dont bookmark; I favoritecoming from “favorite pages”, so the verb is derived from an adjective not a noun I wasnt really sure whether people said this，but someone told me recently that they had fa

41、vorited a site I was looking for and so they could easily give me its address. In the late 1980s I noticed that lots of my friends had acquired pagers, and kept saying things like “Ill page you as soon as I know what time were meeting”. They couldnt say it to me, though; 1 refused to have one So my

42、children bought me a mobile phone, now known simply as a mobile and I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message （either spoken or written）for them on their phoneOr I can text them, write a few words suggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long

43、 will it be before I can mobile them, that is, phone them using my mobile? I havent heard that verb yet, but Im sure I will soon. Perhaps Ill start using it myself!63. “Ill pencil it in my diary” in the second paragraph probably means . A. it was a firm arrangement B. it was an uncertain arrangement

Technology and Language.（D） To many web-building spiders, most of whom are nearly blind, the web is their essential window on the world: their means of communicating, capturing pr

46、ey（猎物）, meeting mates and protecting themselves. A web-building spider without its web is like a men cast away on an island of solid rock，totally out of touch and destined to starve to death. So important is the web to an orb-web spiders survival that the animal will continue to construct new webs d

47、aily even if it is being starved. For 16 days the starving spider builds completely normal webs. Then, as the animal gets scrawnier（憔悴的）， it constructs a wider-meshed web using fewer strands（线）. Such webs would only trap larger prey, which is more economical from the perspective of a starving spider

48、. The spider stores energy by recycling web protein. It simply eats its own web each evening and reuses it to produce new silk. In studies with radioactively，labeled materials, it was found that 95 percent of web protein reappears in the next day web. Most of the energy needed for web-building is us

49、ed in walking over the strands as they are laid down Scientists are impressed by the adaptability of the spiders highly preprogrammed brain, which is larger for its size than the brain of any other invertebrate（无脊推动物）If web-building is interrupted, or if some of the existing strands are destroyed，th

50、e spider simply goes back to see where the web is left off and then finishes building a normal web. One spider will finish building the incomplete web of another.67.

53、 protein to reproduce new silk C. the web is everything for a spiderD. it is able to rebuild a destroyed web（E） High school dropouts（辍学者）earn an average of $ 9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study dispels a common belief why they quit. Its much more basic than flunking out（不及格）. Society

54、 tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just cant cut it. They are lazy，and perhaps not two brightSo researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left. “The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could h

55、ave graduated from high school.” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half of African-American and Hispanic（美籍西班牙的）student will receive a diploma（证书），and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So， if failing grades don

56、t explain why these kids quit, what does? Again，John Bridgeland：The most dependable finding was that they were bored.” “They found classes uninteresting; they werent inspired or motivated. They didnt see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to

57、 their career aspirations.” The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US，only one state，New Mexico，has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate. Only four s

58、tates: California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions, another researcher，says raising the compulsory（义务的）attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school “As these dropouts look back，they realize theyve made a mis

59、take. And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end, is probably helpful measure.” New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18. But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to sta

60、y in school misses the pointthe need for reform. Its been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.71. Most high school students drop out d school becauseA. they

61、have failing gradesB. they take m interest in classesC. they are discriminated againstD. they are lazy and not intelligent72.

63、g high school educationD. wish to make laws to guarantee no education75.
