    “Cool” is a word with many meanings. It s traditional meaning is used to __16__ a temperature that is fairly cold. As the world has __17__ , however, the word has expanded to __18__ many different meanings.   “Cool” can be used to express feelings of __19__ in almost anything.   When you see a brand-name car in the street, maybe you can’t help __20__ , “It’s cool.” You might think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your __21__ footballer.   We all enlarge the meaning of “cool”. You can use it __22__ many words such as “new” or “amazing.” Here’s an interesting story we can see __23__ illustrate the usage of the word: A teacher asked her students to __24__ the waterfall they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one __25__ , “It’s so cool.” __26__ he thought it was __27__ to describe __28__ he saw and felt.    __29__ the story also proves the shortage of words and expressions. __30__ “cool,” some people have no words to express the same meaning. So it is __31__ to improve our word strength to maintain some __32__ .   As a popular word, “cool” stands for a kind of special __33__ that people can accept easily. Excepting “cool,” can you think of many words that __34__ your life as colorful? I can. And I think they are also very __35__ .

    第三部分:閱讀理解
    閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
    A Reading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past. There is another large reservoir (知識(shí)庫) which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman (工匠) has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them . The information from them differs from (不同于) that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical (理論的) part -- the explanations of why things happen -- is frequently quite fantastic (神奇的) . But the demonstration (示范) and report of what happens , and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms (術(shù)語). Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he. Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional (傳統(tǒng)的) practices handed down from father to son , or mother to daughter, of old country customs (習(xí)慣), of folklore (風(fēng)俗). All this is very difficult for a college student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass. The college student should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries of what had existed in this area long age
