One Language For Everyone
A story from the Bible tells of old Babylon, where the men decided to build a tower that would touch the sky. But God was unhappy, and he made them speak different languages. They couldn't understand each other, so their dream never came true.
Yet the dream remains alive: if all men speak the same language, they can do anything. L.L. Zamenhof from Poland was among the men who pursue this dream. He developed Esperanto (世界语) between 1877 and 1885.
As the most successful man-made world language, it is spoken by over two million people around the world.
Last month, the World Esperanto Congress (大会), dealing with language rights, ended in Sweden.
Most Esperanto speakers are in Central and Eastern Europe and in East Asia, particularly Chinese mainland．Esperanto has two advantages. First, it's easy. Each letter has exactly one sound and there are just 16 basic grammar rules. The second advantage is that it belongs to no country.
But Esperanto has only reached a small number of people compared with natural languages widely used around the world — such as English or Chinese. While these languages are deeply connected with their nations and cultures, Esperanto doesn't have this background.
Will Esperanto really become a global language? It remains a question.
60．The writer tells us a story at the beginning to _______.
A．explain why men have been making the effort to create a language shared by all
B．explain why men now speak different languages
C．show the relationship between man and God
D．prove language is very important
61．What does the word “pursue” in the second paragraph mean?
A．realize B．work for C．be against D．come true
62．What is the basic difference between Esperanto and English?
A．More people speak English than Esperanto.
B．Esperanto words are easier to spell.
C．Esperanto has fewer grammar rules.
D．Esperanto is not supported by any country or culture.
63．What does the story mainly talk about?
A．The advantages of Esperanto.
B．Men's dream of sharing the same language.
C．Comparison of Esperanto and other languages .
D．The most successful man-made world language — Esperanto.
C
Everybody likes a winner，and there are always people ready to cheer for a good winner. But who has ever heard a song for the man who comes in second? So this is in praise of the almost winner，the nearly champion，the next to the biggest，the second best. This is the song of Mister Two .
You hear unflattering names for Mister Two “Alsoran”，they call him，and “runner-up”.
Names that make you think of a fellow who couldn’t quite make it. Don’t let that fool you. Ask the winner of any race how good a man Mister Two is. He will tell you it’s Mister Two who made him run so fast，Mister Two is pressing hard at his heels threatening always to overtake and pass him.
Ask the salesman who won the contest and what kept him plugging after hours，looking for extra order. Ask the directors of the big company why they keep changing their product，seeking the new equipment，the added advantage. What drives them ? What keeps them hopping? It’s the salesman with nearly as many orders. It is the company with the product almost as good．It’s Mister Two.
In this country，we’re proud of the quality of our champions. Our big men come very big.
Our fast men run very fast. Our wise men are the wisest and our greatest men are the greatest that a country could hope to be blessed with. And why is that? Couldn’t it be because great Mister Two’s growing naturally in a land where the race is always open and everybody can run ? So this is for you，Mister Two. This is your song. This is for all the days you tried for first，and came in second．It’s for the nights when you wonder if you ought to go on trying，since nobody seems to notice…
We notice，Mister Two. We know the score. Winner or not，you’re a natural champion. There couldn’t be a race without you，Mister Two.

People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one stands for a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services(宗教仪式) to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves. On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.
68. Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?
A .Parents bring up children
B. Parents give love and care to children
C Parents educate children to be good persons.
D. Parents pass away before children grow up
69.What do you know from the passage?
A .Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.
B .Fewer women worked outside the home in the past
C. Not all the children respect their parents
D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home
70.Which do you think is right about “carnation”?
A . It only has two kinds of color.
B .It is a special kind of clothes people wear on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.
C .It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.
D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.
71 .What do you think “florists” do?
A .They sell flowers B. They made bread or pastry
C. They offer enough room for having family parties.
D. They sell special clothes for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive ()these experiences.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldier’ troubling memories after war.
They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry（精神病学）at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”
But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity（特性）. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we’d want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist（伦理学家）.
Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases, it would become more and more common. “People always have the ability to misuse science,” said Joseph Le Doux, a New York University memory researcher. “All we want to do is to help people have better control of memories.”
72．What’s the main idea of this passage?
A．People often suffer from bad memories.
B．American researchers are trying to develop a pill.
C．Forget bad memories, and be happy.
D．The research has caused a heated argument.
73．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to “ ”.
A．the new drug B．the research into the drug
C．the bad memory D．the chemical in the drug
74．Which of the following is NOT the opinion of the supporters?
A．The pill can erase all the memories in the past.
B．Some memories can ruin people’s lives. The pill can relieve emotional suffering.
C．The pill can also help many other types of people who suffer from terrible memories.
D．The pill can prevent or treat troubling memories in soldiers after war.
75．Which of the following is NOT the opinion of the opponents（反对者）？
A．Our memories give us our identity.
B．The memories help human avoid mistakes of the past.
C．The drug should be used in only very serious cases.
D．People may not be sure whether they want to wipe the memories out.

Dear Editors of China Daily,
Recently our class held a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of advertisements.
Daily life needs advertisements because they can offer information on goods, services, culture, employment and so on . With advertisements, customers can save a lot of time in shopping. Advertisements also help factories or service providers find their market. In a word, advertisements have many advantages.
However, we also find advertisements a waster of time when we don’t need them, for example, when watching TV programs. To make things worse, some advertisements mislead and cheat consumers. Furthermore, huge advertising expenses are shared by customers, which seems to be unfair.
Yours truly,
Li Hua.
