We all use them, often without noticing what we're doing. I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, and I said “I’ll pencil it in my diary”, and my friend said “You can ink it in”, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one! Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax. We all got used to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising we'd fax it immediately. Then along came email, and we were soon all emailing each other madly. How did we do without it? I can hardly imagine life without my daily emails. Email reminds me, of course, of my computer and its software, which has produced another couple of new verbs. On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think I'll want to look at again, thus saving all the effort of remembering their addresses and calling them up from scratch. I can do the same thing on my PC, but there I don't bookmark; I favorite—coming from “favorite pages”, so the verb comes from an adjective not a noun. Now my children bought me a mobile phone, known simply as a mobile and I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message for them on their phone. Or I can text them, write a few words suggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long will it be before I can m obile them, that is, phone them using my mobile? I haven’t heard that verb yet, but I’m sure I will soon. Perhaps I’ll start usin g it myself! 56. “I’ll pencil it in my diary” in the second paragraph probably means . A. it was a firm arrangement B. he prefers a pencil to a pen C. the arrangement should be written as a diary D. it was an uncertain arrangement 57. A website address can be easily found if it has been______. A. favorited B. messaged C. emailed D. texted 58. Which of the following has not been used as a verb yet? A. message B. mobile C. email D. page 59. The best title for this passage is____. A. Technology and Language. B. Development of the English language C. New Technology and New words D. New Verbs from Nouns 3.阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。 Australians have evidently realized the fact that water means life and we need to he more thoughtful in our use of this rather precious resource.Since the year 2000, Australians have managed to reduce their use of water by 14% .In the most populous city, Sydney, they've managed to use less water in 2007 than in 1974, even though the city grew by l.2 million souls in this period. Across the country nearly 20% of all households have water tanks.That would probably be due, in large part, to the various state governments offering generous rebates.In NSW, for example, where 24,000 households have taken up the offer, you can get $1,500 AUD back if you fix a 7,000 + litre tank and have it attached into your toilet and washing machine. Creywater use has taken off too.The Australian Bureau of Statistics suggest that it's now the second most common source of water in Australia, with over half of the country's homes reusing water from their washing machines, showers and baths.The state of Victoria leads with 70% using greywater, and Queensland, coming close behind with 63%. Up in the northern state of.Queensland, some of their dams have been below 20%.Sydney's main dam is only at 56% of its potential capacity. The country's ongoing drought(干旱)has seen more than 95% of the length of the Murray- Darling Basin (the two major river systems that supply the nation's 'food basket' )regarded as ' degraded', Supply of water has become such an issue that hydro-electric power(水力发电) output has dropped 7% in a recent 9 year period for the states of NSW, Victoria and Tasmania.Not good for promoting our uptake understanding of renewable energy in these climate changing times.But at least the message is getting through about making every drop count. 72.The underlined word "rebate" in paragraph 2 probably means . A.discount or allowance B.water tanks for free C.agreements or payment D.washing machine of high quality 73.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.the country's water shortage is partly due to continuous drought B.large quantities of water are being used to produce electricity C.the author hopes water resource could be used to the fullest D.the author disagrees with the use of renewable energy 75.The passage is likely to appear in .
