18、When you are under water, it is easy for you to climb big rocks, because you are no longer heavy.Here, under water, everything is blue and green. During the day, there is plenty of light. When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands.When you have tanks(罐）of air on your back, you can sta

19、y in deep water for a long time. But you must be careful when you dive in deep water.To catch fish is one of the most interesting parts of this sport. Besides, there are more uses for skin-diving. You can clean ships without taking them out of the water. You can get many things from the deep sea.Now

20、 you see that skin-diving is both useful and interesting.41. Skin-diving can take you to _.A. the moon B. the mountains . C. a dirty worldD. an interesting and new world42.

Skin-diving is a interesting sport because _.A. you can catch fish with your hands B. you can clean the ship in the waterC. you can get many things from the deep sea D. all of the aboveB “Cool” is a

23、 word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little 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 everything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will s

24、ay. “Its cool.” You May think,“Hes so cool,”when you see your favourite football player. We all maximize(擴大)the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words, such as “new” or“surprising”.Heres an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her student to

25、 write about the waterfall(瀑布) they had visited. On the students paper was just the one sentence,“Its so cool.”Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt. But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it

26、 is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性).Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can.

A. see B. show C. know D. feelC When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the diction

28、ary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence I your own language. Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. Its important to master(掌握) the rules(規(guī)則) for word order in the study of English, too. If the sentences put words in a wrong ord

29、er, the listeners cant understand the speakers sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesnt change. Lets see the difference between the two pairs of sentences. “She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.” “Ive seen the film already.” “I have already

30、seen the film.” When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神實際) of the language and use it as the English speakers do.( )51.
