We all use them, often without noticing what were doing. I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, 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. We all got used to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising wed fax it immediately. Then along came email, and we were soon all emailing each other madly. How did we do without it? I 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 remembering 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 comes from an adjective not a noun. Now my children bought me a mobile phone, 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 for them on their phone. Or I can text them, write a few words suggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long 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! 56. “Ill pencil it in my diary” in the second paragraph probably means D . A. it was a firm arrangement B. he prefers a pencil to a pen C. the arrangement should be written as a diary D. it was an uncertain arrangement57. A website address can be easily found if it has been_A_. A. favorited B. messaged C. emailed D. texted58. Which of the following has not been used as a verb yet? B A. message B. mobile C. email D. page59. The best title for this passage is_D_. A. Technology and Language. B. Development of the English language C. New Technology and New words D. New Verbs from NounsBThis Teaching Assistant Level 3 course is designed for people who either are, or wish to become a teaching assistant.

They record where you are going, how fast youre traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to endure almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. Theyre known as the black box.When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean on June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the boxs homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the box was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane the area least subject to impact from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircrafts final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can stand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000. When submerged, theyre also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say theyre still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one planes black boxes were never recovered. A 64. What does the author say about the black box? A. It is an indispensable device on an airplane.B. The idea for its design comes from a comic book. C. Its ability to avoid disasters is incredible. D. It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane. C. 65. What does the underlined word in the 3rd paragraph mean?A. witness B. experience C. resist D. ensure D66. Why was the black box redesigned in 1965? A. New materials became available by that time. B. Too much space was needed for its installation. C. The early models didnt provide the needed data. D. The early models often got damaged in the crash.B 67. What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447? A. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.B. There is still a good chance of their being recovered. C. They have stopped sending homing signals. D. They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.DAs the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating(发电)and transmission (输送) system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.The 19 th century saw land grants(政府拨地) offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns, which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic spots will be sacrificed. Some species(物种) will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter. The 21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So lets remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West.C68. What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?A. Small towns along the railways became abandoned. B. Land in the West was hard to manage.C. Some railroad stops remained underused. D. Land grants went into private hands.A 69. What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs?A. The use of money and power. B. The transmission of power.C. The conservation of solar energy. D. The selection of an ideal place.D 70. What is the authors attitude towards building solar plants?A. Disapproving. B. Approving. C. Doubtful. D. Cautious. C 71. Which is the best title for the passage?A. How the Railways Have Affected the WestB. How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be ReducedC. How Solar Energy Could Reshape the WestD. How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled.ESeveral recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性) of conflict.Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and force students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that if youre surrounded by whites, you have something to prove.Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race, she said.At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when app
