Passage Four"Cool" is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings."Cool" can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, "It's cool. ' You may think, "He's so cool," when you see your favorite football player.We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of "cool". You can use it instead of many words such as "new" or "surprising". Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, "It's so cool." Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity of words. Without "cool", some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word "cool"? I can. And I think they are also very cool.46. We know that the word "cool" has had______.A. only one meaningB. no meaningsC. the same meaningD. many different meanings

问答题Language exists to communicate whatever it can communicate. Some things it communicates so badly that we never attempt to communicate them by words if any other medium is available.

For precisely what language can hardly do at all, and never does well, is to inform us about complex physical shapes and movements

The lecturer speaks for one or two hours, perhaps 1 the talk with slides, writing up important information on the black-board, distributing reading material and giving out 2 . The new student sees the other students continuously writing on notebooks and wonders what to write. Very often the student leaves the lecture 3 notes which do not catch the main points and which become hard even for the 4 to understand. Most institutions provide courses which assist new students to develop the skills they need to be 5 listeners and note-takers. If these are unavailable, there are many useful study-skills guides which 6 learners to practice these skills independently.
