第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项.

A

"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 favourite 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 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，"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 as colourful as the word "cool"？ I can．And I think they are also very cool．

A．only one meaning B．no meanings C．many different meanings D．the same meaning

22．If you are _______ something，you may say，"It's cool."
