Every profession or trade,every art,and every science has its technical vocabulary. Differ?ent occupations,however,differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies. In trades and handicrafts,and other vocations (職業(yè)) ,like farming and fishery,that have occupied great numbers of men from remote times,the technical vocabulary,is very old. It consists largely of native words,or of borrowed words that have worked themselves into the very fiber (質(zhì)地) of our language. Hence,though highly technical in many particulars,these vocabularies are more familiar in sound,and more generally understood,than most other technicalities. The special dialects of law,medicine,divinity (神學(xué)) ,and philosophy have also,in their older strata (層面) ,become pretty familiar to cultivated persons and have contributed much to the popular vocabulary. Yet every vocation still possesses a large body of technical terms that remain essen?tially foreign,even to educated speech. And the proportion has been much increased in the last fifty years,particularly in the various departments of natural and political science and in the me?chanic arts. Here new terms are coined with the greatest freedom and abandoned with indiffer?ence when they have served their turn. Most of the new coinages are confined (受限制在) to spe?cial discussions,and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays,as all professions once were,a close guild (行會) .
The lawyer,the physician,the man of science,the divine,associated freely with his fellowcreatures,and does not meet them in a merely professional way. Furthermore,what is called " popular science”makes everybody acquainted with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment,though made in a remote or provincial laboratory,is at once reported in the newspapers,and everybody is soon talking about it as in the case of the Roentgen rays (倫琴射線) and wireless telegraphy. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace (尋常的事物) .
( ) 5. What does the underlined phrase "educated speech" mean?
A. 教育演講' B. 教育報告
C. 有教養(yǎng)的談吐 D. 有教育意義的發(fā)言
( ) 6. In recent years,there has been a marked increase in the number of technical terms in the terminology (專門術(shù)語) of
A. fishery B. farming
C. government D. sports
( ) 7. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A. Topics for common speech often involve the latest new technical terms.
B. People don't take up any new technical terms which are none of their business.
C. The topics for common speech are always making something new.
D. New technical terms can enter our common speech by way of making them sim?ple.
( ) 8. The author's main purpose in the passage is to
A. describe a phenomenon B. propose a solution

One day,my mother told me that Simon had blood cancer. Simon Sharp is my stepfather's nephew. Even though we aren't related by blood, Simonv is one of the most amazing people I have ever met and means more to me than any blood relative ever does. He likes riding his bike around Celebration, Florida. He also likes playing the piano. He is the kind of person that is impossible to forget once you meet him.
My eyes shone with disbelief. "But he'll live,right?" I asked in a low voice. "There's no way to know for sure. He has a pretty rare case," my mom replied.
Simon seemed to get weaker and weaker. The doctors tried countless treatments,but each resulted in a worse reaction than the one before. Somehow,Simon went into remission. We were hopeful,knowing it might lead to a full recovery. The whole family was thrilled. Sadly,his health took a turn for the worse again a year later.
It was around then that we received our "Simon Says..." T-shirts. On the front,in big blue letters,it read, "Simon Says.,." and when you turned it over it read, "Cancer is a detour,not a stop sign."That sentence showed me that no matter how hard the cancer fought against him,Simon and his loving family would do whatever it took to push fight through it. What im?pacted me even more was that it referred not only to Simon's battle,but also to the battles of all those who had a seemingly impossible challenge in their lifetime. Not too long after we got our shirts,Simon Sharp passed away when he was just fifteen years old.
Simon touched countless people with his unique personality,kind soul,and extreme per?sistence even in his time of need. It was hard for everyone to overcome the sadness caused by the death of a family member,but we were able to. I think it's because we can wear our T?-shirts everywhere we go and proudly say, "Simon says..."
( ) 5. Which of the following is true of Simon?
A. He has a gift for music. B. He is an impressive boy.
C. He once lived with the author. D. He is the author's distant cousin.
( ) 6. What did Simon suggest by giving the T-shirts to his family?
A. I love you all. B. Believe in me.
C. I will never give up. D. Life is full of challenges.
( ) 7. Who helped the author remove the sadness caused by Simon's death?
A. Simon. B. The author himself.
C. The author's mother. D. The author's stepfather.
( ) 8. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Simon and I B. Simon Says...
C. Always Fight D. Let Go of Sadness
