    Today is Tom's 70th birthday，but there is anybody with him．He feels very disappointing．His sons didn't care for him on this special day．Although the cakes are very delicious，but he doesn't want to touch it．He just wants his children come and see him．Nowadays，many young people are so busy and independent which they seldom visit their parents．But blood is thick than water．Our dear parents brought us up for a lot of difficulty．Thus，we should and must bring happy to them when they become old．

19．Recently I came in contact with the true meaning of love． That would have been，Kane，a boy． Kane was the two-year-old son of Jolene，my new neighbor．
    At a glance Kane was a sight． He'd been born with hard sticks for legs． And on that morning I witnessed the effect that Kane's physical shortcomings had on his family． But I also witnessed much more than that．
    I saw an extraordinary family that embraced this special child． A family that wouldn't allow Kane to know he was different． Jolene had constructed a small cart just a few inches off the floor for his son to get around． Using his hands to move about，Kane moved the cart to"go to"any place just as everyone else was able to do． Kane worked that little cart like a master． Kane was a vital focus of the entire family． He was more than just a member of the family； he was the soul． This child was the driver，the motivator，and the founder of much of the interaction．
    Much later in my life，I came to realize that God had sent this child to help some of us who just weren't getting what love was all about． Even with my limited capacity for understanding at the time that Kane was a highly developed spirit with great wisdom．
Kane demanded attention，but not because of his mobility challenges or other apparent shortcomings． In his mind，he had no challenges or shortcomings． The truth is that he received attention because he was alive and real and had so much to offer．
    Kane was and still is a lot of warm and powerful energy sent to us all，so we might learn that love surpasses all things． Kane，a fragile yet lovely baby，was here to teach us all an important lesson． And at the age of two he did just that．

    D． They were greatly brave to face all the difficulties．
57． How did Kane"get to"everywhere he wanted to go？A
    A． By moving his cart with his own hands．
    B． By asking his father to lead him ahead with a stick．
    C． By asking his grandparents to push hin everywhere．
    D． His parents specially employed a babysitter for him．

18．Human civilization has truly come a long way．From using animals for transport to the super fast automobiles that we have today．From using flint to making fire to using one touch lighters．But there are some things that we will never let go of．Some ancient traditions that have been brought down through the ages are still followed today．
Groundhog Day（土拔鼠節(jié)），falls on the 2nd of February every year．It is observed in the United States and Canada．While this day may be a public holiday and a bank holiday，it is not a compulsory holiday declared by the government．But this is not so for all the states．State-wise holidays may vary．
Ever heard of Punxsutawney Phil？Groundhog Day is observed because of this groundhog．The day is indeed about a groundhog．Punxsutawney is the name of an apparently weather forecasting groundhog．He lives in his burrow（洞穴）on Gobler's Knob，Punxsutawney in Pennsylvania，for a short period before the 2nd of February every year．On the 2nd of February，Phil comes out from his burrow and looks for his shadow．If he sees his shadow and goes back into the burrow，then America will have an extended winter of six weeks，But if he cannot see his shadow，and he remains outside．It means winter will soon end and spring will arrive very shortly．Phil has been‘predicting'the length of winter in this manner for almost a century and they have always been almost 100% accurate．
Groundhog Day is celebrated in some parts of the USA and Canada．The largest celebration is held at Punxsutawney，Pennsylvania．People come in scores to visit Punxsutawney Phil．They wait eagerly，camping days in advance，to see the small groundhog appear from his burrow，check for his shadow and either go back in or stay out．People cheer when they hear it is time for winter to end and celebrate by eating sweets and singing and dancing．Today．the Groundhog Day is a widespread tradition and an exciting event．

17．Everybody loves to play board games sometimes，but it is surprising to know how long this pastime has been in existence．Some of the earliest board games are over 5，000 years old．The oldest is probably Senet，an American Egyptian game which has been found in burials from before 3000 BC．The game involves an element of luck，and so it was thought by the Ancient Egyptians that those who won the game were protected by God．For this reason，games of Senet were often buried alongside the dead body，to be used on the dangerous game board is set out as a grid of three by ten rows，and uses two sets of at least five pawns．The actual rules are unknown，although some historians have proposed rules which were used in the Senet sets available today．
The Royal Game of Ur，also known as the Game of Twenty Squares，is another ancient game which dates back to the First Dynasty of Ur，in 2600 BC Mesopotamia．It was played with two sets of seven counters，one black and one white，and three four-sided dice （骰子）．Although the ancient rules are unknown，a stone tablet has been found which describes a reliable record of how the game was played in 177-176 BC．
Both Senet and The Royal Game of Ur probably came into existence long before the game backgammon （西洋雙陸棋），which itself has a long history．The game of Nard，which existed in Iran in around 3000 BC，used two sets of fifteen counters，four dice and same board as the one used in backgammon today，although the initial starting positions and rules are different．Similar games were played in Ancient Rome and India．

16．There's nothing like experiencing history to understand it．So instead of reading  about the U．S．Civil War in textbooks，some schoolchildren in Virginia are creating videos related to the conflict，in which the northern Union and southern Confederate states fought over several issues，including slavery，from l861-1865．
    In one scene，children act as two Union generals，meeting at the Kaploan Klver in central Virginia．The l2-and l3-year-olds are producing a mini-video on the key role temporary pontoon bridges（浮橋）played during the war．After building and crossing a  pontoon bridge，Union soldiers defeated a Confederate army in the Battle of the  Wilderness．
    In another scene，students act as soldiers who are marching to the river with guns．Today，the area is part of a national military park．Park Educational Coordinator Peter Maugle shows the children how to hold the fake guns．"Hopefully they will understand why these places are important through projects and programs like this，and they will make an effort to keep these places preserved for future generations，''he said．
    Another background is a plantation where much of the Battle of the Wilderness was fought．At this location，another group of children is focusing on the diary of a woman who lived in the region during the war．Student director John Ashley says the experience has made him think more about the human aspect of the war．Filmmaker Ghil Hong donated his time to help the students，who have understood it quickly．"They are trying to convey the emotions during the Civil War．They really focus on wanting the story to be accurate，''Hong added．
    With help from advisors，the children also research，write，and edit the videos．Alexis Albert got a chance to try out directing and learned a lot about Civil War history in the process．"It helps me more as a student understand it more than reading a book and looking at words，"he said．
    The project is sponsored by the Journey Through Hallowed Ground，which raises  awareness of historical sites from Pennsylvania to Virginia，including many Civil War battlegrounds．
51．The first paragraph mainly tells US thatA．

    There is nothing I like more than reading．I like different forms of literature-novel，short stories and so on．I like to read whatever I have a bit of quiet time--like early in the morning，during lunch hour，and at night when I'm lying in the bed．I usually read in a small study next to his living room．It's like a small library with good natural sunlight．I really don't enjoy reading in coffee shops or public places．I need quiet space to read．Besidc books，I often skim through magazines and newspapers，and I am fond of do the puzzles．They are fun and interesting．I collect articles from newspapers for useful information or recipes．For me，reading was a spiritual experience that gives me great person satisfaction．Television and movies can't do that．I can't think about any better way to relax and forget the pressure of each day．

14．The death of languages is not a new phenomenon．Languages usually have a relatively short life span as well as a very high death rate．Only a few，including Egyptian，Chinese，Greek，Latin，have lasted more than 2，000 years．
What is new，however，is the speed at which they are dying out．Europe's colonial conquests caused a sharp decline in linguistic diversity，eliminating at least 15 percent of all languages spoken at the time．Over the last 300 years，Europe has lost a dozen，and Australia has only 20 left of the 250 spoken at the end of the 18th century．
The rise of nation-states has also been decisive in selecting and consolidating national languages and sidelining others．By making great efforts to establish an official language in education，the media and the civil service，national governments have deliberately tried to eliminate minority languages．
This process of linguistic standardization has been boosted by industrialization and scientific progress，which have imposed new methods of communication that are swift，straightforward and practical．Language diversity came to be seen as an obstacle to trade and the spread of knowledge．Monolingualism became an ideal．
More recently，the internationalization of financial markets，the spread of information by electronic media and other aspects of globalization have intensified the threat to"small"languages．A language not on the Internet is a language that"no longer exists"in the modern world．It is out of the game．
The serious effects of the death of languages are evident．First of all，it is possible that if we all ended up speaking the same language，our brains would lose some of their natural capacity for linguistic inventiveness．We would never be able to figure out the origins of human language or resolve the mystery of"the first language"．As each language dies，a chapter of human history closes．
Multilingualism is the most accurate reflection of multiculturalism．The destruction of the first will inevitably lead to the loss of the second．Imposing a language without any links to a people's culture and way of life stifles the expression of their collective genius．A language is not only used for the main instrument of human communication．It also expresses the world vision of those who speak it，their imagination and their ways of using knowledge．To safeguard languages is an urgent matter．
 
74．Which of the following does not contribute to the death of languages？B
A．Colonial conquests of Europe
B．The boom of human population．
C．Advances in science and industrialization
D．The rise of nation-states．
75．What does the underlined word"stifles"in Paragraph 7 probably mean？D
A．boosts      B．fuels         C．imposes      D．kills
76．The serious effects of the death of languages include all except thatB
A．people would fail to understand how languages originated．
B．language diversity would become an obstacle to globalization．
C．monolingualism would lead to the loss of multiculturalism．
D．human brains would become less creative linguistically．
77．What is the author's purpose of writing this passage？C
A．To explain the reasons why languages are dying out．
B．To warn people of the negative aspects of globalization．
C．To call people's attention to the urgency of language preservation．
D．To argue how important it is for people to speak more languages．
