A．阅读短文选择正确答案
“Cool ” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.
“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.
When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may think, “He is so cool,” when you see your favorite football player.
We all maximize（扩大）the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall they had visited. On one student’s paper was just one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows scarcity（缺乏）of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. I think they are also very cool.
1. We know that the word “cool” has had ______.
A. only one meaning B. no meanings
C. many different meanings D. the same meaning
2. In the passage, the word “express” means “______”.
A. see B. show C. know D. feel
3. If you are ______ something, you may say, “It’s cool.”
A. interested in B. angry about C. afraid of D. unhappy with
4. The writer takes an example to show he is ______ the way the word is used.
A. happy with B. strange to C. worried about D. careful with
5. Which of the following is Not True?
A. When you see something new, you may say “Cool!”
B. When you see something surprising, you may say “Cool!”
C. When you see something wonderful, you may say “Cool!”
D. When you see something cold, you may say “Cool!”
B. 阅读简答下列问题（不许照抄原文）
The United States has many different kinds of climates（气候）. On the west coast（海岸）, the temperature changes very little between summer and winter, but the north central（中心的）states have very different climate. In those states people wear light clothes during the summer, and heavy clothes in the winter.
In the southwest, the climate is pleasantly warm during the winter, but during the summer it is very hot. In the eastern parts of the United States, summer temperatures are very different from winter temperatures. Summers are usually hot, and winters are always cold; springs are comfortably warm, and autumns are pleasantly cool.
Years ago, people in the cold parts of the United States did not often get fresh vegetables and fresh fruits during the winter. Today, trucks and trains carry fresh fruits and vegetables very quickly to all parts of the United States. In this way, Americans “send their climate” to people in other sates.
