Two days before she died, my brothers and I met at her nursing home and took her for a short ride in a wheelchair. While we waited for the nurse to

“Where?” I asked. “Mum, is there anything you want?” “Whirr,” She repeated a bit stronger. My brothers and I looked at each other and shook our heads sadly.
Mum opened her eyes and with all the 28 she could gather said, “Not was, say were ！”
We suddenly knew that Mum was 29 brother Jim’s last sentence: “If I was you …”
Jim leaned down (俯下身) and kissed her. “Thanks, Mum,” he said softly. We smiled at each other and once again 30 our heads, this time to show our respect to our dear mother – our lifelong teacher.

Wild boars(野猪) in rural areas around Beijing are destroying what could otherwise have been a good harvest.
  Seventy-year-old Dong Decai is one of the victims(受害人) of the animals that ate up nearly one-third of his corn crop in the Sisi Village in Beijing’s Yanqing County in the past week. The same thing happened in the Jiuxianmiao Village near the Badaling section of the Great Wall. One villager surnamed Song said on Friday that much of his corn crop was ruined and there were lots of strange footprints left behind, reported the Beijing Times.
  Footprints matched(与……相符) those usually left behind by wild boars. On Friday, the sound of firecrackers in the village could be heard from far away. “The fireworks can drive boars away,” said Song.
  As the environment in Beijing’s suburbs improves, wildlife populations, including boars and pheasants(野鸡), in some mountainous villages are growing.
  Forestry staff said farmers whose crops were destroyed by wild animals will receive compensation from the government, the Beijing News reported. Last year, 17,200 yuan (US$2,080) was paid to farmers in the Pianpoyu and Shuikouzi villages in Yanqing.
  Boars, which used to appear sometimes, are now reproducing in large numbers. With no natural enemies in the area such as wolves, their numbers are growing.
  Experts say the appearance of so many boars shows an improvement in the environment, but as their natural enemies have not recovered at the same speed, boars could cause big problems for farmers.
46. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ______.
  A. the villagers are badly in need of help
  B. the two villagers had bad luck
  C. wild boars have done great harm to corn crops
  D. the government paid little attention to their losses
47. The villagers set off firecrackers to ______
  A. show their happiness B. attract visitors
C. celebrate their harvest D. frighten boars
48. The number of boars keeps increasing ______.
  A. because of the development of its breeding ability
B. so people should do their best to kill them
C. which has recovered the balance of nature
D. because of the improvement of the environment
49. The underlined word “compensation” (in Paragraph 5) means “______” in Chinese.
A. 奖金 B. 赔偿 C. 提高 D. 工资
50. What would be the best title for the passage?
  A. How to protect the crops of farmers
B. Environment protection needs improvement
C. Every means should be used to deal with boars
  D. Wild boars become a headache for farmers

C
   English is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among everyday speakers? One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is declining(降低) globally while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.
    However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance(主导) by the middle of this century to rank, after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. “The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isn’t rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken,” he says.
    In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil, and Malay, spoken in south and southeast Asia.
    David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, says about 1.5 billion of the world’s six billion people speak it as a second tongue compared to the 400 million native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. “Nobody quite knows what’s going to happen because no language has been in this position before. But all the evidence (证据) suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster,” he said.
51. In David Graddol’ s opinion, English will _______.
  A. remain widespread and important
    B. be more important than any other language
    C. lose its dominant position
D. die away in the near future
52. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ______.
    A. snowballs will roll down faster than language balls
    B. the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time
in the past
    C. English language will soon drop in dominance
    D. more and more language users will choose English

53. How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English?
    A. 2.           B. 3.       C. 4.          D. 5.
54. According to David Graddol, which of the following will possibly be one of the languages that will be most  widely spoken?
    A. Malay.     B. Arabic.    C. Urdu.       D. German.
55. What should be the best title for the passage?
    A. English Remaining the Dominant Position
    B. The Future of English? Who Knows?
    C. Opinions from Different Experts
    D. The English Language Snowball Rolling Down
