Long, long time ago, there was a merchant in Baghdad who sent his servant to the market to buy provisions(给养), and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said, "Master, just now when I was in the market-place I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was Death that jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture. Now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me." The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted (骑上马)it, and he dug his spurs(马刺) in its flanks(侧面) and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the market-place and he saw Death standing in the crowd and he came to Death and said, 'Why did you make a threatening gesture to my servant when you saw him this morning?"

Some English words are made up of the same part and have different beginnings and different endings, such as import, export, report and transport. All these words, you can see, have the same root “port”, which comes from the Latin word, meaning “to carry” or “to move” from one place to another. And according to the bit at the beginning-- which we call the prefix, the meaning changes: “import” means “to carry in”, or “to bring into a country”, “export”, “ex” means “out of”, so this word means “to carry out of a country”, “re” means “back”, so the word “report” means “ to tell somebody, to bring back information to somebody”, “transport”, “trans” means “across” and it means “to carry across one place to another”.
Let’s look at the following words: supporter, reporter, importer and exporter. You can see that in this case these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs. Adding a suffix “er” to a verb means a person who does this thing. So supporter means somebody who supports. Importer is somebody who imports and exporter is somebody who exports, and so on.
48. “Some English words are made up of the same part…” in the sentence “part” means _________.
A. different beginnings and different endings
B. the same part which has several meanings
C. the root of a word
D. the same root which has different meanings
49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A. Besides “port”, many English words have the same root which comes from the Latin word.
B. “Port” is the root forming some English words.
C. The root “port” means “to carry”.
D. “Port” has the root meaning “to move” from one place to another.
50. By adding a prefix or suffix to a root, we can get a word which has _________.
A. the meaning of a Latin word
B. a different meaning
C. the meaning of “in” or “out of”
D. a lot of meanings
