江西省2024屆高三英語(yǔ)二輪專項(xiàng)訓(xùn)練：閱讀表達(dá)+寫(xiě)作（18）
第一節(jié)
Why does night fall but never break and day break but never fall?
Why are people who ride motorcycles called bikers and people who ride bikes called cyclists?
In what other language do people drive in a parkway and park in a driveway?
In what other language do they call the third hand on the clock the second hand?
Let's face it: English is a crazy language．There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger．Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat．
We take English for granted．But when we explore its paradoxes （矛盾）, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them．
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese—so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human beings．That's why, when stars are out,_____________; but when the lights are out, they are invisible．And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it．
1．What's the main idea of the passage ? （no more than 8 words）
．Complete the following statement with proper words．（ no more than 5 words）．
When someone says you will have a fat chance to win the game, it means that there will
for you to beat your opponent．
．Please fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete （no more than 4 words）
．What can we probably realize if we explore the paradoxes of English?（ no more than 10 words）
．What does the underlined word "them" probably refer to? （no more than 3 words）
