English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven
human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international
mails are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as
two million words.
However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither
pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while
sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes( 矛 盾 ), we find that
quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers
don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two
geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are
opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?
How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it shows the creativity of human beings.
That’s why, when stars are out, they can be seen; but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
16. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. There should be egg in an eggplant.
B. Pineapples are the apples on the pine tree.
C. Boxing rings should be round.
D. Sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things.
17. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?
A. A wise man and a wise guy. B. Overlook and oversee.
C. Quite a lot and quite a few. D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.
18. What does the underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. get tired of B. finish C. recover D. add up
19. What does the writer want to tell us through the many paradoxes in the English language?
A. Human beings are foolish. B. Human beings are crazy.
C. Human beings are hard-working . D. Human beings are clever.
B
In 1985, a little Italian plumber (水管工）became the face of video games, and changed the
way we play them. “Super Mario Bros” saw the main characters in the game, Mario and Luigi,
jump around the Mushroom Kingdom, collect coins and rush to save a princess from a bad turtle.
The content was different from the simple gameplay of Snake or Pac-Man, where the aim was to
eat and stay alive.
Mario originated as a carpenter in the 1981 game “Donkey Kong”, which was advanced for
its time, with retro (复旧的）sound effects as Mario moved on challenging platforms. “At the
time, video games were usually created by computer engineers, as opposed to today’s artists,” said
Shigeru Miyamoto, game designer and producer of the “Super Mario Bros” and “Donkey Kong”.
As to why he picked a 26-year-old Italian-American plumber from New York as the main
character, Miyamoto said, “We wanted him to be someone who might live near you, and not a
superhero.”
The game’s popularity really took off in 1985 when “Super Mario Bros” was released. “People
had never seen a game like Super Mario Bros.” said Frank Cifaldi, co-director of the Video Game
History Foundation. “Super Mario Bros, despite having the same limitations as its peers, manages
to convey a hard and long adventure in a large world.” “Super Mario Bros changed the way we
play video games--from merely aiming for a high score to playing a game to experience an
adventure and see it through to its ending,” he added.
“For all the critics that may say video games are full of violence and killings, the moustached
Mario remains the most globally identifiable face of the video game industry,” said Miyamoto.
20. Why did Miyamoto pick a plumber as the main character?
A. He regarded plumbers as superheroes.
B. He found it challenging to design a superhero.
C. He wanted his game players to live close to each other.
D. He wanted to design an average person like most of the players.
21. How did “Super Mario Bros” change the way people play video games?
A. By employing artists to create it.
B. By using retro sound effects in games.
C. By enabling players to experience an adventure.
D. By making eating and staying alive its final goal.
22. The reason why “Super Mario Bros” gained popularity was that _________
A. it was different from the games before.
B. it had fewer limitations than other games.
C. it was simple and less challenging to play.
D. it satisfied players’ desire for a high score.
23. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Spirits of Super Mario Bros
B. “Super Mario Bros” VS. “Donkey Kong”
