What you must remember is that you must believe in 【2】(you). Just remember that it is you 【3】 can defeat any danger. Tell yourself that you can turn into a superwoman or a superman when you are 【4】 danger. This is why I am going to tell you the stories of Mrs. Weldon and Dr. Murray.

Mrs. Weldon reported that her baby was about 【5】(knock) down by a car when she was trying to save her baby. Mrs. Weldon 【6】(weigh) only forty kilograms. She looked as if she was a very weak lady often

【7】(dress) in skirts, but she said she pushed the car to save her baby. Dr. Murray, a zoologist, wrote that he , after 【8】 some wolves ran, jumped nearly three meters high into the air to take hold of the 【9】(low) branch of a tree. Perhaps you are wondering if you can do such things as they did. You can also be lucky to escape any 【10】(injure)!

In 1812, Babbage and several other friends formed theAnalytical Society. As a student, he was also a member of other societies such asThe Ghost Club, concerned with finding out supernatural phenomena (超自然现象), and the Extractors Club, devoted to freeing its members from the madhouse(精神病院), should any be placed in one.

After graduation Babbage was hired by the Royal Institution to lecture on calculus(微积分). Within two years he had been elected a member of the Royal Society and, with his Cambridge friends, succeeded in setting up the Astronomical Society in 1820, the first to challenge the influence and power of the Royal Society. From 1828 to 1839, Babbage was Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge.

The 1820s saw Babbage work on his 'Difference Engine', a machine which could perform mathematical calculations. At the beginning a six-wheeled model was constructed. He then developed plans for a bigger, better, machine - Difference Engine 2. He also worked on another invention, the more complex Analytical Engine, on which his fame as a computer pioneer now largely rests. It was designed to be able to perform any arithmetical calculation using punched（打孔的） cards that would take the instructions, as well as a memory unit to store numbers and many other most important parts of today's computers. But neither the Analytical Engine nor Difference Engine 2 was finished in Babbage's lifetime.

Babbage also worked in the fields of philosophy and code-breaking. He died at his home in London on 18 October 1871.

【1】What did the Extractors Club aim to do?

The reason that we know so little about the language in this period is because we do not have much in the way of written records from any of the Germanic languages of north-western Europe until several centuries later. When Old English writings began to appear in the seventh, eighth, and ninth centuries there was a good deal of regional variation(变化), but not more than that found in later periods. This was the language that Alfred the Great referred to as ‘English’ in the ninth century.

The Celts were already resident(定居) in Britain when the Anglo-Saxons arrived, but there are few obvious traces of their language in English today. Some scholars have suggested that the Celtic tongue might have had an underlying influence on the grammatical development of English, particularly in some parts of the country, but this is highly speculative(猜测). The number of borrowed words known for certain to have entered Old English from this source is very small. Those that survive in modern English include “brock” (badger), and “comb” (a type of valley), alongside many place names.

【1】When did the English language begin ?

A. After the Anglo-Saxons came to Britain.

B. Before the Germanic invaders settled in Britain.

C. At a time that no one will know for certain.

D. At the same time as Germanic languages began.

【2】“continental neighbours” in Paragraph 1 refer to people living in _____.

A. Great Britain B. Africa C. Europe D. Ireland

【3】Why do people know so little about the language in Britain in the Anglo-Saxon period?

A. There are no written records from the Germanic languages.

B. Old English didn’t have any written system.

C. Much of the written records have been lost.

D. There was a good deal of variation in the records.

【4】What does the author think about the Celtic language ?

A. It influenced the grammatical development of English.

B. It had little influence on modern English.

C. It borrowed a few words from Old English.

D. It greatly enriched modern English vocabulary.

In 1540, the Portuguese Antonio de Faria was the first European to discover the Mekong. Although Europeans showed only some interest in the Mekong, the Spanish and Portuguese did make trade expeditions(探险) to the area, and the Dutch led an expedition up the Mekong in 1641-42. In the mid-19th century, the French led an exploration on the river between 1866 to 1868 and discovered that the Mekong had too many rapids and waterfalls to ever be useful for navigation(航行). From 1893, the French enlarged their control of the river into Laos until the First and Second Indochina Wars ended French involvement(介入) in the region.

The Mekong has long been regarded as the foundation of Southeast Asia's economic growth and prosperity—necessitating(使必要) cooperation between the countries. In 1995, the "Agreement on the Cooperation for the Sustainable Development of the Mekong River Basin" signed by the governments of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam formed the Mekong River Commission (MRC). The MRC facilitates(促进) joint management of the shared water resources and cooperation on development issues. In 1996, China and Burma became Dialogue Partners of the MRC.

Today, much of the Mekong remains undeveloped and even unexplored. It is closely tied to the daily lives and culture of over 60 million people, many of whom live in poverty (贫困). However, life along the river is changing, as large dams on the river have been built with plans for many more. Many people now live and work in the towns.

【1】What is the best title for this passage?

A. The Mekong is being damaged by human activities.

B. The Mekong has attracted peoples from the world.

C. The Mekong has helped countries to cooperate.

D. The Mekong nourishes(养育) the land and her people.

【2】The French ended their control over the Mekong because _____.

A. the river was unsuitable for navigation B. France lost the Indochina Wars

C. France lost their interest in the river D. Their agreement with Laos came to an end

【3】Why did the Mekong basin countries form the MRC?

A. Much of the river remains undeveloped and unexplored.

B. Many of the people along the river live in poverty.

C. The river is the foundation for their economy.

D. China and Burma came up with the suggestion.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the future life of the people?

A. Indifferent(冷漠的). B. Optimistic(乐观的). C. Pessimistic(悲观的). D. Sarcastic(讽刺的).
