　　A Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I think of this story. It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on important things in life and about devoting ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went: An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the subway. He would get onto the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years. His house was dirty, and a stench (恶臭) came out of the house and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years. The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire (百万富翁). They waited outside his house expecting to share the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire. But the old man said nothing at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg. Clearly, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything significant (有意义的) for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing. 56.

　　B Eleven-year-old Cammy Holmes walked along the shores of Washington, D.C.’s Anacostia River with her big sister and a friend. Wearing gloves to protect their hands, they filled a garbage bag with everything from fishing lines and dirty plastic bottles to old grocery bags. The girls, and about 150 others volunteered in the International Coastal Cleanup, an event that raises the awareness of the importance of keeping the world’s waterways and oceans clean. The cleanup was organized by the Ocean Conservancy that works to protect ocean animals and their homes. Unfortunately, a lot of trash never goes into a trash can. It blows on the wind, and travels down streams and rivers to the sea. Trash isn’t just ugly — it can be dangerous for creatures that live in the water. Every year, plastic trash like old fishing equipment, shopping bags, and food wrappers (包装) kills one million sea birds and 100,000 marine mammals and sea turtles. Sometimes these animals get tangled up (纠缠) in garbage and die. Sometimes they eat trash that chokes (使窒息) or poisons them. Sea turtles, for example, mistake plastic bags for the jellyfish (海蜇) they love to eat. At the Anacostia River, Cammy helped the volunteers pick up 2,380 pounds of trash in just a few hours along three miles of shoreline. “When you hear about a coastal cleanup, you think it unpleasant, you have to pick up trash,” says Cammy. “But then you get there and find out it is actually fun! I liked meeting all the other people and helping out the environment.” This one-day event has an important message for 365 days of the year: “We are all connected to the ocean. You can help keep the ocean clean by putting trash in the right place. Take the extra time to put your snack wrapper in the garbage can instead of throwing it on the ground, and recycle everything you can,” says Sonia Besteiro of the Ocean Conservancy. 60. What was Cammy doing on the shores of the Anacostia River? A. She was picking up trash to keep waterways clean. B. She was playing with her big sister and a friend. C. She was fishing for sea turtles in the river. D. She was washing dirty plastic bottles and old grocery bags. 61. What does Cammy think of the coastal cleanup? A. Dirty. B. Fun. C. Dangerous. D. Unpleasant. 62. What can we learn from the passage? A. The cleanup was organized by Cammy. B. The cleanup will last 365 days. C. Sonia is a member of the Ocean Conservancy. D. There are 150 girl volunteers in the organization. 63. The main idea of this passage is to ______. A. introduce a girl named Cammy to readers B. introduce the Ocean Conservancy to readers C. report the ocean is being polluted seriously D. report a cleanup event on the shores

　　C Simply put, language is what people and animals use to communicate their thoughts, ideas and feelings. Of course, animals communicate with each other differently from humans, and each type of animal communicates differently. For example, a bee uses a dance to tell the rest of the bees in the hive (蜂窝) where there is food, while whales communicate through the use of pleasant-sounding sounds. One could say then, that animals use different languages. Like animals, people also use different languages. Each culture has its own words and symbols that are used by people within that culture to communicate with others in the same culture. For example, a person living in Japan will use the Japanese language to communicate with other Japanese. Unlike animals though, some cultures use more than one language. People within these cultures are said to be either bilingual (双语的) or multilingual (多语的). One such place is Canada. It is very likely that a person living in Canada may speak both French and English. Likewise, a person living in Switzerland may speak Italian, German and French. Not only do people use different languages to communicate, but languages also have different dialects. A dialect is a difference of a language which uses words and grammar somewhat differently from the standard form of the same language. For example, people who live in Manchester, England speak a dialect that is a little different from people who live in London, England; however, people in both cities speak English. There are also some people who don’t use a spoken language at all. These people use their hands to communicate. This type of language is called sign language and is most commonly used by people who are deaf. Now that we know how people communicate, we are faced with a question. Are we part of a certain culture because of the language we speak, or do we speak a particular language because we are part of that culture? To put it more simply, is a Chinese person Chinese because he speaks Chinese, or does he speak Chinese because he was born in China? What part does language play in the definition (定义) of culture? 64. The examples of bees and whales are used to show ______. A. animal languages are simple to learn B. people can understand animal languages C. different animals use different languages D. animals communicate with each other 65. The main idea of the second paragraph is that ______. A. people communicate with those in the same culture B. there can be different languages in the same culture C. a culture can be expressed in several languages D. the symbol of a culture is the language spoken by its people 66. To judge whether a person speaks a dialect, you can depend on ______. A. what words and grammar he uses B. whether he uses sign language C. where he lives D. who he communicates with 67. What would be the best title for the passage? A. The culture of different countries B. The language in different cultures C. The development of language D. The meaning of the language
