Yu may be surprised t learn that English gets 30 t 45 percent f its wrds frm French. The reasn ges back t the year 1066, when Nrman frces invaded（入侵）what is nw Britain. The Nrmans were frm nrthern France and spke French. During the Nrman ccupatin（占领）, French became the language f England's rulers and wealthy class. This lasted fr mre than 300 years. Other peple in England cntinued t speak English during this perid.
Over time, the tw languages cmbined and shared wrds. Sme researchers believed that abut 10, 000 French wrds eventually entered the English language. Hwever, althugh English tk many French wrds, their meanings have nt always stayed the same. Smetimes the differences in meanings can be very imprtant, and lead t funny r strange situatins if the wrds are used in the wrng way.
Take the French wrd "cllege" fr example. In English, "cllege" can ften be used in place f the wrd "university", r smetimes as a schl within a university. Hwever, in French, "cllege" actually means "middle schl" , r the level f schling fr students in grades five r six thrugh eight.

If an English speaker says smene is "jlly", that means they are cheerful r friendly. But in French, "jlie" means smene is gd-lking r pleasant t lk at. In any case, bth are nice things t say t smene.

30. What is the French wrd "jlie" used t d?

C. Refer t peple's happiness. D. Prve the change in French.
31. What is the text mainly abut?

Wind turbines（涡轮）and slar panels（太阳电池板）that prduce electricity are examples f "green" technlgy. A new study finds that such renewable energy might be green in anther sense. Large cllectins f thse turbines r slar panels appear capable f bringing rains t the desert and wuld allw mre plants t grw.
Building large wind r slar farms just t study their questin was nt an ptin. It wuld be t expensive. S experts Kalnay and Safa develped a mdel f Nrth Africa's Sahara Desert t find ut hw wind turbines and slar farms might change the desert's climate.
The team ran its mdel several times. In ne run, it assumed that peple wuld set up wind farms nly. Anther run assumed peple wuld set up just slar farms. A third assumed peple wuld build bth. They wuld affect the desert's weather with temperature and average daily rain increased—but differently. Setting up a mix f slar farms and wind turbines brught abut a bigger change-nt in temperature but in rainfall. In the Sahara, having bth wind and slar farms mre than dubled the amunt f rain that fell, up t 215.4 millimetres（毫米）per day.
The mdels predicted that the average rainfall wuld increase ver time, as mre plants grew. Plants mve water frm the grund t the air. Warmer air can carry mre water. S as this air rises, it can carry mre water up t becme cluds. Thse cluds can release rain, relieving the thirst f plants belw. Over time, this prcess repeats itself ver and ver. This psitive feedback can greatly increase rains.
"Such rainfall changes culd lead t better agriculture," says Safa. "Mre rain als wuld help wild plants grw. We believe that the cuntries in the Sahara shuld seriusly cnsider investing in wind and slar pwer," he added.
32. What is the new finding f the research?
A. Deserts will be suitable fr farming.
B. It csts much t get deserts greener.
C. Renewable energy can green a desert.
D. Clean energy helps plants grw better.
33. What discuraged experts frm building energy farms?
A. High cnstructin expenses. B. A lack f suitable test sites.
C. Shrtage f manpwer. D. Terrible climate.
34. What may Safa advise the cuntries in the Sahara t d?
A. Build mre farms t grw crps. C. Invest in wind and slar pwer.
B. Save mre water fr agriculture. D. Cnsider mving t ther places.
35. What was the advantage f the 3rd run?
A. Greatly raising rainfall in the desert. B. Increasing temperature largely.
C. Dubling glbal rainfall per day. D. Saving mre energy with less cst.

One pssible versin:
The angry wife asked him, "Where is that ld thief? These are ur gds." The prter replied, "Madam, please calm dwn. That pr ld man was sick since last mnth. He wasn't able t earn enugh mney t even have a single meal f the day. He was n the way t deliver yur gds, but he, wh was hungry and sick, culdn't gather the strength t g any further in this heat f the nn. He fell dwn and he handed me $15. His last wrds were, 'I had taken an advance payment fr this delivery; yu take this and please deliver it t this address.'"
Upn hearing this, the husband had tears in his eyes and turned t his wife. "He was hungry, he was pr, but he was an hnest man," the husband said. The wife felt quite ashamed that she was angry with her husband's decisin. She had n curage t lk her husband in the eyes. Suddenly it dawned n her that hnesty has n class. Respect everyne regardless f their financial and scial status. It's always a gd deed t give smething t the ne wh deserves.
