The world faces a future of people speaking more than one language,with English no longer seen as likely to become(41)D,a British language expert says in a new analysis."English is likely to(42)H one of the world's most important languages for the foreseeable future,but its future is more (43)I and complex-than most people appreciate,"language researcher David Graddol said.He sees English as likely to become the"first among equals"rather than having the global field to itself."Speakers,who only use English,of any(44)F of English-American or British-will(45)B increasing difficulty in employment and political life,and are likely to become confused by many aspects of the society and culture around them,"Graddol said.
The(46)K of the world's population that speaks English as a native language is decreasing,Graddol reported in an issue of the journal Science.The idea of English becoming the world language to the(47)E of others"is past its sell-by date,"Graddol said.Instead,he said,its major(48)J will be in creating generations who use more than one language.
A multilingual(使用多种语言的) population is the(49)A in much of the world and is becoming more common in the United States.Indeed,the Census Bureau reported last year that nearly one American in five speaks a language other than English at home,with Spanish leading,and Chinese(50)C rapidly.The diversity of language,in turn,has helped to make English the nation's official language.
2.One thing the tour books don't tell you about London is that 2,000 0f its residents (屠民) are foxes.They ran away from the city about centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in.But now that the environment is cleaner,the foxes have come home.
"The number and variety of wild animals in urban c城市的) areas is increasing,"says
Corner Jones.A survey of the wildlife in New York's Central Park last year counted 14kinds of animals.A similar survey carried out in the 1890's counted only five kinds.
Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities.First,the air and water quality
in many cities have improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts.Meanwhile,rural areas have been built up,and many animals have gone to the area outside the centre of a city.In addition,urban wildlife refuges (避难处) have been created.The Greater London Council last year spent  $ 750,000to buy land and build 10permanent (永久性的) wildlife refuges in the city.As a result,many birds are now living in the city.By 1970the birds had died out east of the Mississippi because the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life.
That year,scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in
cities,for cities afforded abundant food.
Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful.The key is to create
habitats where they are able to live happily.Such habitats can even be useful.In San
Francisco,the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only which ones keep the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.

25.What is the passage mainly about?C
A.2,000foxes returning to London.
B.Wild animals living in zoos.
C.Wildlife returning to some larger cities.
D.The great enemy of wildlife.
26.It can be inferred from the passage thatB
A.Londoners are putting more and more wild animals into their zoos
B.Londoners are happy to see wild animals return to their city
C.Londoners are trying to move wild animals back to the countryside
D.Londoners have welcomed the wild birds,but found foxes a problem
27.According to the passage,the number of species of wildlife in New York's park.D
A.is slowly going down                    B.is the same as that in other cities
C.doesn't change too much                 D.has more than doubled in the last century
28.Which of the following is NOT a reason why wildlife is returning to the cities?B
A.There is plenty of food for wildlife in the city.
B.Wildlife enjoys being watched and fed in the cities.
C.More and more special living areas have been built for the wildlife.
D.Air and water quality has improved in the cities.
19.Aspirin
Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) has been used for many years as a painkiller.It also has an anti-inflammatory (消炎) action and can be used to reduce fever.Aspirin is already recommended for people to prevent stroke and heart attack because it improves one's blood circulation.So many people already take daily aspirin as a heart drug.Although aspirin can cause deadly internal bleeding,which is relatively rare,its benefits for people are great,not only to help increase the length of people's lives,but to prevent and treat cancer,or to stop cancer spread according to the latest research.
Taking a low dose (剂量) of aspirin every day can prevent and possibly even treat cancer,fresh evidence suggests.Prof.Peter Rothwell,from Oxford University,and his colleagues,who carried out the latest work,had already linked aspirin with a lower risk of certain cancers,particularly bowel(肠) cancer.But their previous work suggested people needed to take the drug for about 10 years to get any protection.Now the protective effect occurs much sooner-within three to five years-based on a new analysis of data from 51 trials involving more than 77,000 patients.And aspirin appears not only to reduce the risk of developing many different cancers in the first place,but may also stop cancers spreading around the body.
Taking a low (75-300mg) daily dose of aspirin appeared to cut the total number of cancer cases by 25% after only three years-there were nine cancer cases per 1,000 each year in the aspirin-taking group,compared with 12 per 1,000 for those taking dummy pills.It also reduced the risk of a cancer death by 15% within five years (and sooner if the dose was higher than 300mg).And if patients stayed on aspirin for longer,their cancer death risk went down even further-by 37% after five years.
Low-dose aspirin also appeared to reduce the probability that cancers,particularly bowel,would spread to other parts of the body,and by as much as half in some instances.However,Prof.Rothwell says for most fit and healthy people,the most important things they can do to reduce their lifetime cancer risk is to give up smoking,take exercise and-have a healthy diet.
But experts warn that there is still not enough proof to recommend it to prevent cancer cases and deaths and warn that the drug can cause dangerous side effects like stomach bleeding.Prof.Peter Johnson of Cancer Research UK,along with other experts,said it was still a good idea that people thinking of taking aspirin should first consult their doctors because of the possible side effect.And people should get some decisive advice from the government as to whether aspirin should be recommended more widely and the government should also advise the public about the benefits and risks of aspirin.
6.It's never easy to admit you are wrong.Being humans,we all need to know the art of apologizing.Look back with honesty and think how often you've judged roughly,said (36)A things and pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend.Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and (37)B that you were sorry.A bit frightening,isn't it?This is because you know that when even a small wrong has been done,some mysterious moral feeling is (38)D and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and (39)Cis expressed.I remember a doctor friend,telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of (40)B:headaches,insomnia (失眠) and stomach trouble.No (41)A cause could be found.Finally my friend said to the man,"Unless you tell me what's worrying you,I can't help you."After some hesitation,the man (42)C that,as executor (执行者) of his father's will,he had been cheating his brother,who lived abroad,of his inheritance (遗产).Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking (43)D and enclosing a cheque as the first step in rebuilding their good(44)B.He then went with him to mail box in the post office.As the letter disappeared,the man(45)C."Thank you,"He said,"I think I'm cured."And he was.A heartfelt (46)A can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it stronger.If you can think of someone who (47)D an apology from you,someone you have wronged,or just neglected,do something about it right now.

16.When I was at University I studied very hard.But a lot of my friends did very little work.Some did just enough to pass exams.Others didn't do quite enough.Fred Baines was one of them.He spent more time playing than working in the library.
Once at the end of the term,we had to take an important test in chemistry.The test had a hundred questions.Beside each question we had to write"True"or"False".While I was studying in my room the night before the test,Fred was watching TV.Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test.But on that night he looked perfectly calm.Then he told me of his plan."It's very simple.There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the test.I'll just toss(掷)the coin to decide the answers.That way,I'm sure I'll get half the questions right."
The next day,Fred came happily into the exam room.As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour he marked down his answers.Then he left,half an hour before the rest of us.
The next day,he saw the chemistry professor in the corridor."Oh,good,"he said to the teacher,"Have you got the result of the test?"The teacher reached into his pocket and took out a coin.He threw it into the air,caught it in his hand and looked at it.
"I'm terribly sorry,Fred,"he said,"You failed!"

20.A Very Special Special Olympian
The professor was searching for student volunteers in the lecture room for a Special Olympics event.As the sign-up sheet went up and down the rows,I started to come up with my(41)D.Maybe it was the distance to the college where the event was to take place,or the early hour that(42)C had to report for duty.Whatever the reasons that made me hesitate,I am thankful to this day that I(43)B up volunteering.If I had missed the event,I would have missed one of the most unforgettable moments that I have ever(44)C.
I arrived at the volunteer tent bright and early.My task was(45)A.I was to stand at the finish line only and wait until the event was over and then take the(46)C to the announcing booth(公告处).Standing at the finish line,I was able to witness many amazing efforts and close races.I was most impressed by the effort each athlete put into his or her(47)B.What also impressed me was the sincere(48)A each athlete expressed while participating though sometimes the joy of participating in a sporting event can get(49)D in the fierce competition of winning and losing.
Then an amazing moment happened right before my eyes.A group of athletes were(50)C
up to run a short race.One of them was in a wheelchair,a little girl with a(51)A smile,wearing bright bows in her hair.Her smile filled the stadium that day.I couldn't help but smile back at her.
The gun sounded.They were off.Runners sped up in the (52)B with all their might.My eyes
(53)D for the little girl with the bright bows.There she was,pumping her arms with all the
(54)C she had.Her efforts were getting little result,but that did not stop her.I noticed as she got closer that she also had an injured arm.But that did not stop this bright star.The race was long over(55)A the young athlete kept pumping her arms.As she finally(56)B the finish line,the noise of the crowd was thunderous.There I stood(57)A,with tears falling down my cheeks.
After all these years,I can still hear those cheers.I wish I could thank that remarkable athlete for what her efforts (58)D this unmotivated college guy.I grew up a lot that day because of the (59)B of that little girl in the wheelchair.I was (60)D that day of a poem from a book that states,"Whatever you do,do it with all your might."
