In one of the wards, a patient, an old man, got up shakily from his
19、bed and moved towards me. I could see that he hadnt long to live, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor. “Frank!“ I cried in astonishment. He couldnt 【 B1】 , as I knew, but all the time 【 B2】 his foot against mine. My 【 B3】 raced back more than thirty years-to the
20、 【 B4】 days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The 【 B5】 was an air-raid shelter(防空洞 ),in which I and about a hundred other people 【 B6】 every night. Two of the 【 B7】 were Mrs. West and her son Frank. 【 B8】 wartime problems, we shelter-dwellers (避难者 )got to 【 B9】 each other very well. Frank We
21、st 【 B10】 me because he wasnt 【 B11】 , not even at birth. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had 【 B12】 of a mind than a baby has.

28、mpossible 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
29、 language? English has been worked on for this purpose. A basic word list of B50 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
30、a great number of words as in having to say “it came to my ear“ instead of “I heard“ but you can still say anything you want to with just 850 different words and a few suffixes and prefixes. This is a much smaller number of words to have to be memorizes than ordinary words offered to students of a f
31、oreign language. But people have always had a need to do more than simply “tell it as it is“. Language is for reporting not only ones work. For this, a language needs all kinds of grammar and style that throw back its history and development just as a person needs eyebrows. Is there some special rea
32、son why our lips should be a different color from the rest of our face? Perhaps not, but this is how people real people are. For communication between people, languages in all kinds will remain to reflect the growth of the societies that speak them. 56 In this passage, “tell it as it is“ means “_“.

35、dioms are still necessary for us when we are learning a language. （ C） Basic English is easier for the students learning English. （ D） Languages are like mirrors which can show the growth of the mankind. 59 People have always wondered about these pictures inside their heads. But dreams come only wit
36、h sleep. It has been hard to find out more about them. People have tried to make their dreams work for them. Some people have thought dreams were a way into the past. Others have seen dreams as a path to follow. Some have even thought dreams could help the sick. Dreams start when the“ inner mind“ is
37、 opened. This is the place where memories are stored. Often dreams are hard to understand. This is because the inner mind sometimes uses symbols. Symbols are words or pictures that stand for something else. Most symbols stand for things that have just happened. They can also stand for thing that hap
38、pened a long time ago. By using symbols, the inner mind can show people things in dream5 that they did not know about themselves. The symbol is another way of showing what really happened. Dreams have close ties with sleep. People sleep 33 percent of their lives. This is called sleep time. People dr
39、eam during 25 percent of sleep time. While they are sleeping, people “tune out“ the things around them. But when they dream, people may seem to sense the same things they de when they are awake. They may sometimes see, hear, taste, smell, and feel things in their dreams. These things often seem as r
40、eal to people when they are asleep as when they are awake. Even though sleeping people seem to be resting, their bodies are working. Scientists have found that the eyes of sleeping people are moving. They have also found out that their brains are sending out waves. 59 Why has it been difficult for p
41、eople to find out more about dreams? （ A） Different people have different ideas about dreams. （ B） Different dreams have different meanings. （ C） People can only have their dreams studied when they are sleeping. （ D） People only have dreams when they are sick. 60 What is said about symbols in the te

44、stralia is nearly as large as the United States, but dost of it is too dry for people to live in. Around the edge of this huge dry part are large sheep and cattle farms. A few of them are as large as the smallest states in America. Often the nearest neighbors are many hundred miles away. The two-way
45、 radio is very important to people who live on these great Australian farms. It works much like a telephone. A person can listen to someone else talk and give an answer. When these radios first came into using, the Australian government set up for them in some areas. At a certain time each day, the
46、boys and girls turn on their radios and listen to teachers in cities miles away. Families on the large farms wanted to give news to their neighbors. “Round Robin (知更鸟 ) Talks“ by radio were started to keep families in touch with each other. They could talk about who was going away or who was sick or
47、 who was getting married. The men could talk about their sheep and cattle and how much money the markets would pay for them.
