Dancy, a 5-year-old boy, saved his fathers life with the skills he learned. The boys father became seriously ill on the way home from a father-son shopping. He couldnt speak and could hardly move, but he tried hard to stop the car safely. At that point, Dancy used his fathers phone to call his mother for help. The 5-year-old boy tried his best to give her useful information and he was able to tell where they were. Just as he had learned in the kindergarten, Dancy read the letters he saw on a nearby store sign: “F,U,R,N,I,T,U,R,E.” But that wasnt enough for his mother to find them. Then he added that they were near a bridge. Finally, his mother understood he was talking about a store called Furniture 22 on New Jerseys Route 22. The mother called 911 and the father was saved in time. “He just thought his dad needed help,” Dancys mother told the reporter. She also pointed out that her husband was a hero, too. “It is surprising for him to get off the highway and get himself and his child to safety even when he was so sick,” she said. Shine, head of the kindergarten, felt proud of his pupil. “Dancys spelling skills helped him seize（抓住）the moment,” he said. “And thats the real value of education.” 50.

At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country. Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits（益处）of knowing more than one language. One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so youre more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate. Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively（有效地）. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a persons understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures. Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each others problems. The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people dont try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced. 53. The passage begins with the experience of the Vieira family in order to_. A. discuss the need for teaching a new language B. show the problems of speaking only one language C. describe the advantages of moving to another country D. introduce the passages main characters to the readers 54. According to the passage, if you can speak more than one language, you can_. A. find a better job B. make more friends C. better understand history D. communicate more independently 55. The underlined phrase “multi-language speakers” (In Paragraph 5) means “people who know _.” A. more than one language B. a new language C. their mother language D. body language 56. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to learn another language. B. The importance of learning English. C. The benefits of learning other languages. D. The reasons why people come to America. D “Yes, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard NASAs Space Elevator. Were going to leave soon. The entire ride will take about five hours, so sit back and enjoy the trip. As we rise, be sure to look out the window. Youll see the sky change from deep blue to black. It is one of the most wonderful views（景色）you will ever see! ” Does this sound like the Sci-Fi Channel? Well, its not. Scientists are thinking that a “space elevator” will be possible toward the end of the 21st century. A space elevator will consist of a long cable (电缆) from the Earths surface into space to an altitude(高度) of about 35,786 km. “Elevators” will travel along the cable and move people and loads between Earth and space. One of the greatest advantages is that the cost will be much less. Researchers estimate (估计) that a passenger with baggage at 150 kg might cost only $222! Compare that to todays cost of around $3.3 million for the same weight. It would make “cheap” space travel possible. Scientists believe carbon nanotubes (纳米管) may be used to make high-strength materials for the cables, although they are still being studied. It was Arthur C. Clarke who brought this idea to the general public. In his science fiction novel Fountains of Paradise, engineers build a space elevator on top of a mountain peak on an island. One day, Clarke was asked a question by a student during his speech. The student asked when the space elevator would become a reality. Clarke answered, “Probably about 50 years after everybody stops laughing.” Hes got a point. When we stop thinking of something as impossible, then we start working on its development. 57. Why should passengers in a space elevator look out the window while they are moving into space? A. Because the blue sky is very beautiful. B. Because the view outside is wonderful. C. Because the sky changes from black to blue. D. Because the trip will take about seven hours. 58. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Scientists havent used carbon nanotubes to make the cables. B. Traveling in space elevators will cost much less in the future. C. Passengers will be able to travel in space elevators with baggage. D. Space elevators will travel for 35,786 km around the Earths surface. 59. What is the best title for this passage? A. Possible Now: Space Travel B. Cheap Space Travel C. Going into Space in an Elevator D. Space Travel Impossible 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分） Peter was the best table tennis player in his school and hardly ever lost a match.

They are part of a new addiction(瘾) called Internet addiction. According to experts, Internet addicts(迷)spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. They lose control of the time they spend on the Internet. For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried and 1ooked for him everywhere but couldnt find him. They called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the Internet for seven days straight. A study shows that about six to ten percent of Internet users become addicted. The teenagers spend more time on the Internet than with families. Thats why some experts worry most about young people. Is “surfing the Internet” a hobby or all addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have one of the following symptoms(症状): You cant wait to get online again. You go out with your friends less and less. Youve decided to spend a short time online，but then you spend several hours. You do not go to important family events or you do not do school projects because you like to spend hours on the Internet. What is the solution(解决办法)? Some experts suggest that people set strict limits(限制) on their time for Internet use. You have to learn to control it, or the Internet would control you. 64.
