  Is it possible that the people of the world today could agree upon a single international language that everyone would be able to speak and understand?

  In the United Nations there are five official languages English, Chinese, Russian, French and Spanish. How about making one of them into an international language? English has been worked on for this purpose. A basic word list of about 850 English words named Basic English was made. These are the only verbs in the entire list:“come, go, give, keep, let, do, put, make, say, be, seem, may, will, have, send”. Writing in Basic English may require you to use a greater number of words——as in having to say“it came to my ears”instead of “I heard”——but you can still say anything you want to with about 850 different words and a few suffixes and prefixes. This is a much smaller number of words to have to memorize than the ordinary number offered to the students of a foreign language.

  But people have always had a need to do more than simply“tell it as it is”. Language is for reporting not only one's work. For this, a language needs idioms, needs all kinds of grammar and style that reflect its history and development just as a person needs eyebrows. Is there some special reason why our lips should be a different color from our skin? Perhaps not, but this is how people——real people——are. For communication between people, languages in all diversity(各种各样)will remain to reflex the growth and soul of the societies that speak them.

(1)If we write a composition in Basic English, it will be ________.

[  ]

A.longer than usual

B.shorter than usual

C.hard for us to express what we want to

D.able to express ourselves in different style as we like to

(2)In the passage“tell it as it is”means ________.

[  ]

A.people can use Basic English to say what they want to

B.people think Basic English can express what they see or hear

C.people say what they want to according to the fact

D.tell something they like to

(3)This passage begins with a question. According to the writer's opinion, the answer to the question may be“________.”

[  ]

A.It will be possible in the future

B.It seems to be possible if people agree to use Basic English

C.It seems impossible that people can use a simple language to express themselves in various lives

D.It is impossible except that the five official UN languages are used at the same time

(4)Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

[  ]

A.The words used in Basic English are strictly limited to 850, and nothing more.

B.Basic English seems not to be so easy to learn.

C.Basic English can be used to express our complicated thought easily.

D.Basic English is not a natural development of the English language.

  In 1997,a group of twenty British women made history.Working in five teams with four women in each team, they walked to the North Pole.Apart from one experienced female guild,the other women were all ordinary people who had never done anything like this in their lives before.They managed to survive in an environment which had defeated several very experienced men during the same time period.

  The women set off as soon as they were ready.Once on the ice,each woman had to ski along while dragging a sledge(雪橇)weighting over 50 kilos.This would not have been too bad on a smooth surface,but for long distances,the Arctic ice is pushed up into huge piles two or three metres high,and the sledges had to be pulled up one side and carefully let down the other so that they didn’t become damaged.The temperature was always below the freezing point and sometimes strong winds made walking while pulling so much weight almost impossible.It was also very difficult for them to put up their tents when they stopped each night.

  In such conditions,the women were making good progress if they covered fourteen or fifteen kilometers a day.But there was another problem.Part of the journey was across a frozen sea with moving water underneath the ice and at some points the team would drift back more than five kilometers during the night.That meant after walking in these very severe conditions for ten hours one day,they had to spend part of the next day covering the same ground again.Furthermore,each day it took three hours from waking up to setting off and another three hours every evening to set up the camp and prepare the evening meal.

  So,how did they manage to succeed?They realized that they were part of a team.If any one of them didn’t pull her sledge or get her job done,she would endanger the success of the whole expedition.Any form of selfishness could result in the efforts of everyone else being completely wasted,so personal feelings had to be put to one side.At the end of their journey,the women agreed that it was mental effort far more than physical fitness that got them to the North Pole.
