11、imals and a different one for their meat?Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton?To find out, we have to go back to 1066, when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne (王位), which not only changed the government but also changed the langu

12、age. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc（pork）and beouf （beef） came into the English language. However, poor English farmers raised the animals

13、. So the English language retained the words pig and cow from the Native Anglo-SaxonThe Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.According to language experts, English speakers who have never studied French may already

14、 know 15,000 French words! Between one-third and two-thirds of all English words have French origins. Some words such as “possible” and “avenue” are the same in French and English; only the pronunciations change. Other words such as “ballet” keep their French pronunciations in both languages.In Fren

15、ch grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender (性别), so adjectives take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The word “blond” describes someone with light-colored hair. “Blond” is used for men, and “blonde” describes women. And they

16、 are also nouns.Some French words that entered the English language have completely different meanings. The French phrase “a la mode” means “in style”. In English, the phrase means “with the ice cream”. Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!Now, as you learn English,

17、youre on your way to learning French!21. French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because _. A. too many French moved to Britain B. French brought animals with them C. the king and his officials spoke French D. the king allowed French to be spoken22. Why does an English speaker find

18、 French easy to learn? A. Because English and French share similar pronunciations B. Because English grammar and French grammar are similar C. Because a large number of English words have French origins D. Because English has great influences on the French language23. What conclusion can we draw fro

19、m the text? A. Language is closely related to history and culture. B. French and English words have little in common. C. Language is controlled by the upper classes of society. D. French combines English and the Native Anglo-Saxon.BEveryone knows how the story of Cinderella does everything from swee

20、ping the floor to cooking the meals before she meets the prince. If someone asked Cinderella, “Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?” She probably would answer , “Why , none , of course. Housework is my duty!” In the real world, however, most people have certain dislikes

21、for some kinds of household work. Two of these tasks are ironing（熨）clothes and washing dishes.Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly. Each piece of clothing must be handled（处理）separately, so ironing a basket of them can take hours! If yo

22、u do not follow directions carefully, it might become wrinkled and you have to start over. Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do. It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end.Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes. Of course, some peopl

23、e claim that this work is no longer a problem because, we have dishwashers now! However, no one would argue that dishes, silverware, and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher dont come out as clean as they do when washed by hand. For this reason, many of us continue to wash our dishes. And

24、 it is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them. In addition, unlike ironing clothes, washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day. I dont know how Cinderella felt about this particular task, but I believe that most people hate it

25、 as much as I do.24. For Cinderella, doing household work is _. A. what she hates to do B. what she is responsible for C. what she loves to do D. what she is content with 25. Most people hate to do clothes-ironing because _. A. it takes a lot of time B. it has to be done by one person C. it must be

26、handled skillfully D. it needs careful planning 26. Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machine washing because _. A. hand washed dishes are cleaner B. dishwashers are not so easily handled C. some dishes cannot be washed by machine D. washing dishes by hand is cheaper 27. Ironing is

27、different from washing dishes in that _. A. it requires patience B. it is not a daily housework C. it is not tiring D. it needs less careCEverybody is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure of your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he is known

28、as being lazy, you might even be quite angry. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been publis

29、hed in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys. They look smart. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily. Above all, like female human beings, they tend to pay much closer

30、attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnans study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens (奖券) for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces

31、of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms so that each could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different.In the world of monkeys, grapes are excellent goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was h

32、anded a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bri
