根据下列短文内容回答问题。在每题下面的4个选项中选出正确选项，并在答题卡的对应字母上涂黑
Passage A
A language never stands still .It is always changing and developing. These changes are rapid in primitive (原始的)societies, but slow in advanced ones, because the invention of printing and the spread of education have fixed a traditional usage. The only important change that English has undergone since the first half of the 16th century is a large increase in its vocabulary. It is interesting to trace the different ways in which new words are invented. Let us take just two English words, sandwich and television, and see how they were made,.
Sandwich, which is now no longer an entirely English word ,but also international, comes from the Earl of Sandwich(died in 1792) who invented the particular form of quick meal so that he could go on gambling() all through the night without stopping for dinner. Many names of things are in fact taken from the names of the first inventors, for example, the electrical terms Watt and Volt.
Television is one of many new scientific words which are invented from old Greek and Latin words. “Tele” is Greek, meaning “far”, while “vision” comes from the Latin verb, meaning “to see”.
41. “Stand” in the first sentence means .
．be in a certain condition
．not sit
．remain without change
．rise to the feet
42. The invention of sandwich has something to do with .
．work
．study
．gambling
．journey
Passage B
The Americans believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In a recent Hollywood comedy(喜剧), that is exactly what happens.
Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds jobs for people. He leads a typical American way of life, except for one thing－he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nation’s leader is that he is very nice!
The President has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to “serve his country” by becoming one . However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.
Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic.
The film is 100% American. However, if you’ve ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then you’ll enjoy Dave!
43. What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To tell the reader about the American government.
B．To discuss the Americans’ ideas about the President.
C．To make a comparison between Dave and the President.
D．To introduce a new film to the reader.

Passage E
Louis Armstrong had two famous nicknames. Some people called him Bagamo. They said his mouth looked like a large bag. Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence on the world of music.

Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet(短号) at a boy’s home. In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician. He played in parades, clubs, and on the steam-boats that traveled on the Mississippi River. At that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians. Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.
In 1922 he went to Chicago. There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins. From then until the end of his life, Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went. Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song.
His cornet playing had a deep humanity(仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say, “Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over.” He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best-known and most-admired people in the world. His death, on July 6, 1971, was headline news around the world.
