24、   Some English words have more than one meaning. These are called multi- meaning words.

Multi-meaning words have the same pronunciation with different meanings. For example, let's look at the word “ball” You could have a “ball” which means you would have a good time. You could toss a “ball” which means you throw an object. You could be on the “ball” which means you know what is happening. You could go to a “ball” which means a dance.

_______Take the word “can”. You “can” ride a bike which means you are able to ride a bike. You have a “can” of soup which means the soup is in a round-shaped holder. You can do the “can-can” which is a dance from the 1920s. And you might get “canned” if you do a poor job at work, which means you might lose your job.

How about “fly”? You can “fly” that is on your food in your house. Or, you can “fly by the seat of your pants” which means you don't make a plan before taking an action. And, you know that the “fly” of the zipper.

There are hundreds of words that are multi-meaning words. The word “set” has more meanings than any other word in the English language. When you have time, why don't you try to think of all the ways the word “set” is used?

If you look at the title of this book Can a Fly, Fly? …you know that the answer is “Yes” because you have seen an insect named a “fly” go up in the air and move around through the air …which is what “fly” means. Can a Fly, Fly? Of course, it can!

【1】If Tom is often late for work and fails to finish his tasks, he will___________.

A.do the can-can B.get canned C.be on the ball D.go to a ball

【2】From the passage, we know “__________” has the most meanings in the English language.

【3】Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in paragraph 3?

A.Let's try another word. B.Let's make a word list.

C.Here's a survey report. D.Here's the guessing game.

25、B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage. (选择最恰当的单词或词组完成短文):

       I was cute, active, happy…until that day when I was 15 months old. I had a bad fall. I landed on a glass rabbit and it cut my eye badly enough to blind it. The doctor said if the eye was taken out, my face would become out of _______, so my scarred（有疤痕的）, blind and grey eye lived on with me.

27、I made a decision on the way down to the vacation beach cottage to meet my family. For two weeks, I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.

The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was reading a Biblical about husbands’ being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to say that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.

And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Mary at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”

“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little confused(困惑). After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Mary suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Mary’s been here with the kid all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.

So it went. Two weeks of not calling the company where I am a manager, and a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that is how the whole vacation passed. I made a new decision to keep on remembering to choose love.

There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Mary and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Mary looked at me with the saddest expression.

“What’s the matter?” I asked her.

“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with sadness, “Do you know something I don’t …”

“What do you mean? ”

“Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I dying?”

It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I couldn’t help laughing.

“No, honey,” I said, holding her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”

【1】In the first paragraph, “No ifs, ands or buts” probably mean ____________.

A. probably   B. completely   C. impossibly   D. unimportantly

【2】From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ____________.

A. alone   B. with his family   C. with Mary   D. with his children

【3】During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because _____.

A. the doctor told him Mary was seriously ill

C. he made up his mind to be a good husband

D. he made a lot of money as a manager

【4】What made Tom change his mind to be with his family more?

A. His wife’s illness.   B. His vacation to the beach.

C. A talk on his car radio.   D. His achievement from his job.

【5】By saying “I am just starting to live,” Tom means that ____________.
