According to the passage，words are__________ ．

The power of words lies in their__________ ．

根据以下内容回答题：How men first learned to invent words is unknown；in other words，the origin of language is a mystery．All we really know is that men，unlike animals，somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings，actions and things，SO that they could communicate with each other；and that later they agreed upon certain signs，called letters，which could be combined to represent those sounds，and which coul d be written down．Those sounds，whether spoken，or written in letters we call words． The power of words，then，lies in their combinationsmthe things they bring up before our minds．Words become filled with meaning for US by experience；and the longer we live，the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past；and the more we read and learn，the more the number of words that mean something to us increases．Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts，but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings．This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style．Above all，the real poet is a master of words．He can con-vey his meaning in words which sing like music，and which by their position and association can move men to tears．We should therefore leam to choose our words carefully and use them accurately or they will make our speech silly and rude．

根据以下内容回答题：Calvin Coolidge（1 872——1 933）was the thirtieth president of the United States． He looked down on a Derson as being unworthy of respect who was too fond of talking about the details of other people’S actions and private lives——he had no time for small talk．The following two incidents clearly show how Coolidge treasured silence． When he was vice-president，Coolidge had plenty of opportunity to participate in Washington，s social life，especially the many dinner parties．Because of his complete disregard for the art of conversation，he couldn’t exactly make himself dear to his hostesses．One lady felt she could SOlVe this problem．She placed him next to Alice Roosevelt Longworth，daughter of the former President Theodore Roosevelt．Mrs．Longworth，brilliant conversationalist，began to talk in her usual charming manner，but all attempts to awake interest on the part of vice-presi-dent were unproductive．Firrally．being shamed into annoyance，she said，“I am sure that going to as many dinners as you d0，you must get terribly bored．”Without lifting his eyes from his plate．Coolidge said not very．clearly，“Well，a man has to eat somewhere．”Later，when he was president and once again at a dinner party，Coolidge was seated next to an outstanding society woman，one of those people who seem to take delight in trying to change the lives of everyone they meet．“0h，Mr．President，”she spoke with too much enthu-siasm“you are always so quiet，I made a bet today that l could get more than two words out of you．”In anger．the president made a low，rough sound and then said，“You lose．”

According to the passage，what is the difference between a homing pigeon and an ordinary one?

In line l0．when the author states that the owners“anxiously watch the sky”，there is the implication that the owners__________ ．

According to the passage，what happens to homing pigeons when they are about a month old?

根据以下内容回答题：Homing pigeons are placed in a training program from about the time they are twenty。Eight days of age．They are taught to enter the lon through a trap and to exercise above and around the loft．and graduaUy they are taken away for short distances in wicker baskets and released．They are then expected to find their way home in the shortest possible time． In their training flights or in actual races，the birds are taken to prearranged distant point sand released to find their way back to their own logs．Once the birds are liberated，their owners，who are standing by at the home lofts，anxiously watch the sky for the return of their entries．Since time is of the essence，the speed with which the birds can be induced to enter the loft trap may make the difference between gaining a win or a second place． The head of a homing pigeon is comparatively small，but its brain is one quarter large than that of the ordinary pigeon．The homing pigeon is very intelligent and will persevere to the point of stubbornness；some have been known to fly a hundred miles off course to avoid a storm． Some homing pigeon experts claim that this bird is gifted with a form. of built-in radar that helps it find its own loft ager hours of flight，for hidden under the head feathers are two very sensitive ears，while the sharp，prominent eyes can see great distances in daytime． Why do homing pigeons fly homeg They are not unique in this inherent skill；it is found in most migratory birds，in bees，ants，toads，and even turtles，which have been known to travel hundreds of miles to return to their homes．But in the animal world，the homing pigeon can be trusted with its freedom and trained to carry out the missions that people demand．

What is the purpose of the passage?

Who takes the Olympic oath?

What are the most important events in the Olympic Games?

When did women start taking part in the Olympic Games?

Which of the following is a long-established practice in the opening ceremony?

根据以下内容回答题:The Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sport in the world．Every four years，a hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honors in sport． As many as 6，000 people take part in over 20 sports．For the winners，there are gold medals and glory．But there is honor，t00，for all who compete，win or lose．That is the spirit of the Olympics——to take part is what matters． The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action．The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track．The custom is for the Greek team to march in first．For it was in Greece that the Olympics began．The team of the country where the Games are being held——the host country——marches in last． The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame．A sports-man from the host country takes the Olympic oath on behalf of all the competitors．The judges and officials also take an oath．After the sportsmen march out of the stadium，the host country puts on a wonderful display． The competitions begin the next day．There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games．The mle is that there must be at least fifteen：The main events are in track and field，but it is a few days before these sports start．Each day the competitors take part in a different sport——riding，shooting，swimming，and cross-country runnin9．Points are gained for each event．Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams． More and more women are taking part in the games．They first competed in l900，in tennis and golf，which are no longer held in the Olympics．Women’s sw!mming events were in-troduced in 1912，but it was not until l928 that there were any track and field events for women．Now．they compete in all but half a dozen of the sports．In horse ridin9，shooting，and boat racing，they may compete in the same events as the men．
