21、   It's impossible to provide an exact number of words in English, since new words are being added to the dictionary, and falling out of use constantly. 【1】

The short answer is: about a million. Doubt you know anything even close to a million words? That number includes any number of legal, medical, scientific, and mechanical terms that most people will never meet in their day-to-day lives. 【2】

The “million" number also includes the many, many words that have fallen out of use throughout the time.【3】 Consider the word “diddle"，a slang term from the 1700s that means “gin". Many English speakers would recognize “gin"，but far fewer would recognize “ diddle”.

If a million words is the absolute upper level, how does that compare with the general vocabulary of most English speakers? 【4】 Most English-speaking adults know between 20,000 and 30,000 words. And in addition to those many thousands of words, they're probably able to comprehend a good 20,000 more just from context clues.

【5】 You won't find a single dictionary that includes anywhere close to the total million words. One of the reasons is that general-usage dictionaries don't include lots of technical terms—both because of how uncommon they are and, in some cases, because of length. The longest word in the English language is a term from chemistry that is used to identify a certain kind of protein. It is 180,000 letters long. So you certainly won't see it in the dictionary.

A.But what's the number?

B.More than you might think!

C.That doesn't amount to a whole lot, though!

D.Then, how many words are there in the book?

E.While words like these are very uncommon, they still count.

F.If you recognize these uncommon words, we sadly no longer use them.

G.Though removed from the dictionary, they still count as English words.

22、This was the first communication that had come from her aunt in Jessie’s lifetime.

“I think your aunt has forgiven me at last,” her father said as he passed the letter across the table.

Jessie looked first at the autograph(签名). It seemed strange to see her own name there. There was a likeness between her aunt’s autograph and her own, a hint of the same decisiveness and precision. If Jessie had been educated fifty years earlier, she might have written her name in just that manner.

“You’re very like her in some ways,” her father said, as she still stared at the autograph.

“I should think you must almost have forgotten what Aunt Jessie was like, dear,” she said. “How many years is it since you last saw her?”

“More than forty,” her father said. “We disagreed. We invariably disagreed. Jessie always prided herself on being so modern. She read Darwin and things like that. Altogether beyond me, I admit.”

“And so it seems that she wants to see me.” Jessie straightened her shoulders and lifted her head. She was excited at the thought of meeting this mythical aunt whom she had so often heard about. Sometimes she had wondered if the personality of this remarkable relative had not been a figment(虚构) of her father’s imagination.

But this letter of hers that now lay on the breakfast table was admirable in character. There was something of intolerance expressed in its tone. It was just like what her father had told her.

Mr. Deane came out of his past memories with a sigh.

“Yes, yes; she wants to see you, my dear,” he said. “I’ve heard she has set up a school and helped many youngsters. I think you had better accept this invitation to stay with her. If she took a fancy to you, you could get a better education…”

He sighed again, and Jessie knew that for the hundredth time he was regretting his own past weakness...

【1】How was the relationship between Jessie’s father and her aunt?

A．It remained very close over the years.

B．It was broken when they were young.

C．It got tenser due to a misunderstanding.

D．It was uneasy for their financial differences.

【2】From the passage, we know Jessie was .

A．eager to meet her aunt.

B．cautious about her aunt’s invitation

C．angry with her aunt for ignoring her family.

D．puzzled by her aunt’s sudden interest in her

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Jessie’s aunt promised to offer her better education.

B．Jessie’s aunt’s personality seemed to change a lot.

C．Jessie and her aunt were different in personality.

D．Jessie’s father felt sorry for what he had done.

23、   It's a lesson that most of us learn years before were old enough to drive: Red means stop, green means go. Simple enough. But what happens when you live in a culture where green also means blue?

Drive around Japan long enough and you'll find “go” signals in different kinds of blue. “Is this signal broken?” you might ponder. “Did some careless workers install the wrong bulbs?” The answer, as Atlas Obscura points out, is not in the wiring, but in the Japanese language.

Hundreds of years ago, the Japanese language included words for only four basic colours: black, white, red, and blue. If you wanted to describe something green, you'd use the word for blue-ao. That system worked well until the word midori began showing up to describe green. Even then, midori was considered a shade of ao. This sudden switch-over had lasting effects in Japan.

Today you'll still see green things doubtfully labelled blue. A fruit seller might sell you an ao-ringo (blue apple) only to disappoint you that it's actually green. Likewise, green bamboos are called aodake (“blue bamboos”) and an inexperienced employee may be called aonisai, meaning a “blue two-year-old”. And that brings us to traffic lights.

Initially, Japan's traffic lights were green as green can be. Despite this, the country's official traffic documents still referred to them as ao. International traffic law commands all “go” signals must be represented by green lights, and Japanese linguists objected to their government's decision to continue using the word ao to describe what was clearly midori. The government decided to compromise. In 1973, the government passed through an order that traffic lights use the bluest shade of green possible-still technically green, but noticeably blue enough to justifiably continue using ao nomenclature (命名法).

So, while it may appear that Japan uses blue traffic lights, the government assures us it's actually just a very blue shade of green-green enough to satisfy international regulations blue enough to still be called ao. Don't ever say the government never solved anything.

【1】What does the underlined word “ponder” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Remark.

B．Wonder.

C．Explore.

D．Hesitate.

【2】Why did people use ao to describe green things in Japan?

A．The public preferred blue to green.

B．Green must be used with caution in Japan.

C．The word ao developed later than the word midori.

D．There were limited words to describe colours in Japan's history.

【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 5?

A．The colour of “go” lights is a mix of blue and green in Japan.

B．Japan's traffic lights still disobey the international traffic law.

C．Japanese linguists opposed changing the color of traffic lights.

D．Japan's traffic lights were first addressed as green in official papers.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．Traditional colours in Japan

B．Interesting driving rules in japan

C．Why Japan has blue traffic lights

D．Why green can cheat people in Japan

24、Usain Bolt is a superstar in the world of sports. Due to his extraordinary and great skills, he has also claimed the title of “The Fastest Man Alive”.
