三、综合填空
有一种水果，你可以分块吃，也可以榨汁来喝它的果汁。它是什么呢？它是橙子。这种水果的名字也是你用来画胡萝卜或花朵的那种颜色的名字。
很久以前就有很多单词从其他语言进入英语。“orange”这个单词从阿拉伯语进入英语。阿拉伯的农民培育了橙子，在那里橙子被称为“naranj”。后来，这个单词进入西班牙语，变成“la naranja”。最后，它进入英语，变成“orange”。在那个时候，“orange”只指代水果。后来，“orange”也被用来指代颜色。
有些单词在进入另一种语言时保留了它们的意思。另一些则改变了它们的意思。很多语言都有来自印欧语系的单词，印欧语系是一种早期的语言。“blue”这个单词来自一个印欧语系的单词，那个单词的意思是“黄色”。后来，这个单词进入希腊语，意思变成“白色”。然后它进入古英语，意思变成“苍白的”。当这个单词进入法语时，“blue”开始指代我们今天所知道的那种颜色。如今，你可能会选择蓝色来画天空或蓝莓，而不是太阳或雪。
“red”来自希腊语，也保留了它以前的意思。你可以在表示红色浓淡深浅的颜色词中看到“red”这个单词，包括深红和铁锈红。你可以用红色来画苹果或樱桃。
