　　“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the word 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 footballer.

　　We all maximize 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 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(缺少) 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.

Answer 1

答案：C;B;A;C;D
解析：

1．C（該題考查細(xì)節(jié)．由短文第二段“Cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything．可知“cool”一詞可表達(dá)許多不同的意義．） 　　2．B（猜測(cè)詞義題．根據(jù)短文第四段中We all maximize the meaning of“cool”．You can use it instead of many words such as“new”or“surprising”可以推測(cè)出，express在短文中的意思是“表明、表達(dá)、展示”．） 　　3．A（該題考查準(zhǔn)確理解文中提供信息的能力．從短文2～4段中不難看出．如果你對(duì)某人或某物感興趣，你可以用“cool”一詞來(lái)表示．） 　　4．C（推理判斷題．在短文的最后一段中，作者提出“cool”一詞使用的消極面．該段中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．表明，作者對(duì)cool一詞的使用方面充滿憂慮．） 　　5．D（這是一道理解作者寫(xiě)作意圖的題目．形容詞cool的原意為“涼的、冷漠的”．通讀全文可知，cool一詞可用來(lái)表達(dá)幾乎一切感興趣的感情，“cool”一詞的用法非�；钴S，不像它本身的詞義“冷漠的”．）
