In the Unite
23、d Nations there are five official languagesEnglish, 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 850 English words named Basic English was made. These are the only verbs in the ent
24、ire 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 great number of wordsas in having to say “it came to my ear“ instead of “I heard“t you can still say anything you want to with just 850 different words and a
25、few suffixes and prefixes. This is a much smaller number of words to have to be memorized than ordinary words offered to 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 nee
26、ds all kinds of grammar and style that throw back its history and development just as a person needs eyebrows. Is there some special reason why our lips should be a different color from the rest of our face? Perhaps not, but this is how peoplereal peopleare. For communication between people, languag
27、es in all kinds will remain to reflect the growth of the societies that speak them.（分数：3.00）(1).In this passage, “tell it as it is“ means“_“.（分数：1.00）A.people think Basic English can express what they see or hearB.people can use basic English to say what they want toC.tell something they like toD.pe

30、the growth of the mankind.BYoung people and older people do not always agree. They some- times have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special programme in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live tog
31、ether for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works severalhours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and to build
32、 houses. The adults teach them these skills.There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photo-taking or painting. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.When people live togethe
33、r, rules are necessary. In this programme the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If some- one breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?“One of the teenagers has this to say about the experience:

37、go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot, but it cannot make the water very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth goes up. Then the cool air over the water
38、 moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind. And the wind, makes you cool.Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why is the ocean full of salt.?“ scientists will say that
39、the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks (裂开). Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean.? The ocean does not get
40、 more salty every year.“ Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.（分数：4.00）(1).What does the passage mainly tell about?（分数：1.00）A.Scientists can explain many things, but not every

43、to sleep. If we dont sleep enough, we often feel tired and irritable (易怒的).It seems there are two purposes of sleep: physical rest and emotional rest. We need to rest our bodies and our minds. Both are important in order for us to be healthy.Each night we alternate (交替) between two kinds of sleep: a
44、ctive sleep and passive sleep. The passive sleep gives our body the rest that is needed, and prepares us for active sleep, in which dreaming occurs. In passive sleep, the body is at rest. The heart slows down. The body processes become very slow. We move very little. And the brain becomes very inact
45、ive. If a person continues to sleep, she or he enters a new stage, a more active stage.

46、s begin to move rapidly, and the person is dreaming.Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. During eight hours of sleep, people dream for a total of one and a half hours on the average.Many people say that they dont dream, or that they rarely dream. Doctors have stud
