“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its traditional meaning is used to show a temperature that is fairly cold. As the world has 11 , however, the word has expanded to turn out many different meanings.
“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.

When you see a brand-name car in the street, maybe you can’t help 12 , “It’s cool.” You might think, “He’s so cool, ” when you see your 13 footballer.
We all enlarge the meaning of “cool”. You can use it 14 many words such as “new” or “amazing.” Here’s an interesting story we can see used to illustrate the usage of the word: A teacher asked her students to 15 the waterfall they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one 16 , “It’s so cool.” Perhaps he thought it was 17 to describe what he saw and felt.
But the story also proves the shortage of words and expressions. Without “cool,” some people have no words to express the same meaning. So it is 18 to improve our word strength to maintain some richness .
As a popular word, “cool” stands for a kind of special 19 that people can accept easily. Excepting “cool,” can you think of many words that make your life as colorful? I can. And I think they are also very 20 .
11. A. changed B. been developed C. been cleaned D. informed 12. A. to say B. telling C. shout D. saying

从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题纸上 将相应的字母涂黑。
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage．
What will man be like in the future-in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a
英语（二）模拟试题 第 2页 共 39页
result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with use. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. 21. The passage mainly tells us that____.
A. man's life will be different in the future B. future man will look quite different from us C. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes
D. man's organs' functions will be on the change 22. What serves as the evidence that man is changing? A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had. B. Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.
C. Man's arms and legs have become lighter and weaker. D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.
23. The change in man's size of forehead is probably because____ A. he makes use only 20 % of the brain's capacity. B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries. C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time. D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on. 24. What is true about a human being in the future? A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful. B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.
C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them. D. He thinks and feels in different way. 25. It is implied that ____.
A. human beings will become less attractive in the future. B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration C. human beings hope for a change in the future life D. future life is always predictable.
Passage Two

Passage There Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage
I am the owner of a small clothing store. Three months ago I decided to move my store to Glendale, another area of town, because business was not very good. Now I rent a store in an old building. The new location in Glendale is excellent, and my sales have improved a lot. (The utilities are also cheaper!) There is a high school nearby, and many of the students come to my store to buy their clothes. This location has other advantages, too. It is closer to my home, and there is a food store on the next block, so it is convenient for me to go shopping after work.
The size of my new store is better too. It is much bigger, and there is a lot of storage space. But the building was not in very good condition, and I had to make many improvements. The paint was old and dirty, and I had to pick a new color and paint all of the walls. I hired a man to build new wooden dressing rooms. I also made new curtains for the rooms and the window. I am completely satisfied with the
