There are 42 where English is still not spoken, though it is the most widely know language. So, wouldnt it be 43 if there was one language that could be understood by anyone anywhere in the world?Esperanto that was created in 1887 may be the worlds 44 truly international language. In fact, although 45 artificial (人造的) languages have been already created, only Esperanto has had much success. Its learners say that it is about four times 46 to learn than other languages. Spelling and pronunciation are both easy, too. For example, it does not have silent 47 like the “h” in “honest”. If you 48 a word, you can spell it without any difficulty. The grammar is also as simple as possible: only sixteen basic 49 , no irregular verbs (不规则动词), only six verb endings.In short, Esperanto should be attractive (有吸引力的) as a language to learn, 50 there is a problem: how many people have met anyone who can really speak it? Anyway, we hope that some day one language can be mastered easily by anyone.41. A. need B. miss C. face D. touch42. A. offices B. schools C. cities D. places43.

At age 7, Jane Goodall read Dr. Doolittle, a book about a doctor who could talk to animals. She wanted to be able to talk to her favorite animals, too.

They used tools. They showed their fear, pain, or pleasure. Sometimes, they fought. Often, they hugged（拥抱）and kissed. Scientists were surprised by what Jane saw. They knew that the relation between chimps and humans was the closest. However, they did not know they acted so much like us. Jane still has the toy chimp she was given as a child.

Every year its the same. As December comes to an end, you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life. But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year, you think about the last year. You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make, but by the end of January those ideas get lost in your busy life.Heres a suggestion: Forget the too big, hard-to-achieve goals and just think about the small ones. “We often think that we have to do everything in big steps, even though its so hard for us to reach it,” said Robert Maurer, who recently wrote the book One Small Step Can Change You Life. “What we try to do is to begin with such a small step that we cant find any excuse not to do it.”“Kaizen”, a Japanese word, is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes (态度). During World War , American factory managers were able to increase productivity by trying small, continuous improvements instead of sudden changes. After the war, the idea was brought to a rebuilding (重建) Japan. It made Japan develop fast. The Japanese called it “kaizen”, which means “improvement”.Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it. “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything.61. At the end of December, people usually _. A. fail to make big changes B. plan for the last year C. think about the new year D. try to lose their ideas62. Robert Maurer wrote a book to tell us _. A. we should do everything in big steps B. how to change ones life with one small step C. we should try a lot of sudden changes D. how to find a small step without any excuse63. The underlined part “increase productivity” in the passage means “_”. A. 提高生产率 B. 增加成本 C. 增加出口量 D. 提高待遇64. The writer of the passage suggests we should _. A. make changes at the end of the year B. do few experiments with “kaizen” C. do things with hard-to-achieve goals D. take a tiny step to achieve big goals65. Which of the following is TRUE from the passage? A. You can achieve your goals if you are not too busy. B. Robert Maurer studied “kaizen” and found it helpful. C. You cant find any excuse not to reach a big goal. D. “Kaizen” was brought to Japan during World War .D阅读下面短文，把AD四个句子填入文中空缺处（6669），使短文内容完整正确，然后完成第70题。We often hear that children wish they were grown-ups, and that old people wish they were young. 66 The happiest people enjoy what each age gives them without wasting their time in useless regrets.Childhood (童年) is a time when there are few duties.

He will certainly be shouted at for doing something wrong.When a child grows up, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, clothes, room and many other things. 69 If he still spends most of his time playing as he used to in childhood, he will go hungry.
