k “cool”is a word with many meanings. its old meaning is used
to express a temperature(温度) that is a little bit cold. as the world 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’ll say, “it’s cool.”you may think “he’s so cool ”when you see your favorite footballer.
we all maximize(扩大) 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 how the word is used. a teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall(瀑布) they had visited. on one student’s paper was just one sentence(句子), “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(缺乏) 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 colorful as the word “cool”? i can. and i think they are also very cool.

know d. feel

the way the word is used.

c. worried about
d. careful with
( ) 75. in the passage, the writer suggests(暗示) that the word “cool”

高考英语阅读理解基础练习题（29） 阅读理解 When did you last visit a shopping mall? In many places, the answer would be"last weekend．" Some people go even more often．Why? Malls offer goods andservices all in one place: food, clothing, things for their houses, entertainment, evenmedical services．So, are they one of the highlights of modern civilization?Environmental activists would say no and would go even further, arguing thatconsumer behavior is causing a huge environmental disaster．They cause consumers' ignorance of the side effect of their shopping—urban sprawl （扩大）． Social scientists agree that patterns of development have changed the landscape alot．Before 1950, most people lived in towns or cities and either walked to work ortook public transportation．Only very wealthy people had automobiles．Farmers livedin rural areas or far-away villages and came into town only when they needed thingsthey couldn't produce themselves．If you stared at the landscape you would see townssurrounded by the countryside． Now automobiles become affordable and people are quick to make use of them．Ambitious workers could live in suburbs, just outside cities, which have started togrow rapidly．As long as there is lots of cheap land there, no one pays much attentionto the usage of that land．Malls, fast food restaurants, cinemas, and such spread out inlarge, flat buildings．These one-storey buildings and their parking lot take up too muchspace．Many farmers think they are better off selling their land than growing crops．Noone has realized once the land is built up in urban sprawl, the good farming land willbe ruined forever．There is no way to preserve （保护） it．Only in recent years have people come to miss the old way of life as they havelooked into the problems of unconditional growth．Now people realize that urbansprawl has come with serious environmental problems．The bad effects that sprawlbrings about include air and water pollution, loss of agricultural land, traffic jams, andso on．Many scholars think it's time to analyze the problems better so we can developproper policies to control further sprawl．Some think the best way to do is to educatecitizens．

This year, however, California garlic sales are rising because American government increases tariffs （关税） on Chinese products. Christopher, a garlic grower in California, is manager of his company and he said, "In a perfect world, we would love to see the tariffs on China." Tariffs on Chinese garlic rose from 10% to 25% on May 9, 2019, and the reason is that U.S President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese products worth of $200 billion. Since then, Chinese buyers have almost stopped buying soybeans from the United States and American soybean farmers are now getting worried. Not everyone likes the garlic tariffs in the U.S. Last July Christopher expressed his support on Trump's policy （政策）. However, officials from McCormick and Company Inc. didn't agree with the policy. McCormick's CEO, Lawrence told Reuters （路透社）that without Chinese garlic America can't go.
