How did you celebrate Halloween on the last day of October this year? As a busy student, I unfortunately didn’t have much time to celebrate Halloween, but I can imagine what it must have been like in the west.
Pumpkins must have been everywhere, as they are the symbols of the festival. Children, and even some adults, probably wore costumes to look like their favorite characters- some dresses like witches, and some like ghosts. If I’d had the chance, I would have dressed like Iron Man. It would have been wonderful.
When the night fell, children probably got more and more excited. They started to knock on other people’s doors. When the doors opened, the children said loudly “Trick or treat! ”If they got candy, or even coins, they left happily. If people refused to give them candy, though, their house probably got painted in all kinds of colors!
What a fun festival. I really want to have a real, magical Halloween in future. ( )53. The passage above may come from a(n) ?

VI.任务型阅读 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,完成下列各题。(本题共5小题,计10分)
Language is always changing and developing. This isn’t a bad thing. If English hadn’t changed for a long time, we won’t have words to describe telephones, washing machines, computers or some other new things. Language changes for several reasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change. New technologies, new products, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions, because they have different ages, jobs, education levels(水平) and so on.
How does language develop then? On the one hand, many of the languages changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions that are different from the older people’s. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words shorter or combining words and we make them out of proper names. Languages that don’t change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it is alive and well.
