2．What is the longest word in the English language？It would be truly shocking if you were trying to type the longest word，as it isn't really a word anyone uses at all.The word is：pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.According to Merriam-Webster，the 45-letter word is created to mean a disease occurring especially in miners.
But here's the thing：That is not a term anyone—even doctors—use to describe an actual condition.The word was likely made up by Everett K.Smith in the 1930s，when he was president of the National Puzzler's League，a group that loved crosswords and，by extension，words themselves.Smith intended to create the longest word by mimicking （模仿） medical terms，even if there wasn't actually a disease to attach the word to.He just kind of made up the entire thing for fun.
Here are some other examples.Some record-setting English words are the longest in a particular aspect. "Uncopyrightable，" which refers to any work that cannot be copyrighted，is the longest word in English without any repeating letters.Words like this are called "isograms." Then there's the longest word made of only vowels （元音） "euouae"，a term that comes from music of the Middle Ages.On the other hand，you have the longest word without any vowels， "tsktsk".It's an onomatopoeia （拟声） for the sound you make when someone disappoints you.
Finally，you know there's got to be a word to describe someone who makes a habit of using long words.Surprisingly，it's only kind of long itself： "sesquipedalian".
（1）What do we know about the longest English word according to paragraph 1？
A．It is popular in English.
B．It is used only by miners.
C．It is convenient to type.
D．It is taken in by a dictionary.
（2）What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us？
A．The meaning of the longest word.
B．The person of making up the word.
C．The creation of the longest word.
D．The disease concerning the word.
（3）What is the common characteristic of the longest words mentioned in the text？
A．They use the maximum vowels.
B．They convey particular emotions.
C．They are coined by tradition.
D．They are created for pleasure.
（4）Where is the text probably taken from？
A．A magazine.
B．A guidebook.
C．A travel brochure.
D．A news report.组卷：2引用：2难度：0.5 -
3．I am a book conservator.I work for The Gladys Brooks Book and Paper Conservation Laboratory，attending to the physical well-being of collections materials.
Currently I am working on a copy of The byrth of mankynde，otherwise named The woman's book，by Eucharius Roesslin，London，1545.The book arrived in the lab broken in half.It had suffered from several unsuccessful attempts to repair the damage over the years.I carefully documented the original sewing（装订） pattern，so that I could resew it in the same way.Next，I dyed（给上色） leather to match the original color，which I will use to recreate the spine （书脊）.After it is completed，the book will receive a new cover，and will be ready to be used again.
I come from an art background，having received my bachelor degree in studio art from Bard College.It was really through an interest in materials （specifically paper，leather，etc） that I became involved in bookbinding—fastening books together and putting covers on them.Later I received a diploma，which led me to many wonderful experience in book conservation.
Working in conservation can be very satisfying：the outcome of our work is unusually obvious.Working to preserve materials for future readers can be creatively challenging，and requires flexible thinking.I like that it is a profession that combines working with your hands with an intellectual component.And of course，I am very happy to take a book that is too fragile to be handled and make it usable again.
Many books that come up to the conservation lab are too fragile to be handled by readers；our work makes these materials accessible.This is important not just for readers that come and use our collection in person，but also for preparation for digitization projects and exhibitions.However，some people think that all we do is repair bibles!This work is much more creative than a few binding repairs.Many bookbinders create books and book art in addition to repair work.They are artists who show their work in galleries and museums.
（1）What does the author think of his job？
A．Easy.
B．Ordinary.
C．Satisfying.
D．Flexible.
（2）What does the underlined phrase " the same way" in paragraph 2 refer to？
A．The way the book sewed.
B．The pattern the book broke.
C．The method of repairing spines.
D．The material used for the cover.
（3）What does a book conservator do？
A．Create art books.
B．Repair broken bibles.
C．Digitalize old books.
D．Make broken books reusable.
（4）Which can be a suitable title for the text？
A．My love of the laboratory.
B．My story about conserving books.
C．My job as a book binder.
D．My experience of studying binding.组卷：0引用：1难度：0.3
