B English is now the first language of about 350 million people, the mother language of 12 countries and the official language of about thirty-three countries. That means one in every seven people in the world speaks English. English has become the “ new Latin（拉丁语）” of the century. One must know English to be a part of the twenty-first century. In Italy, for example, English is a must for many technical（技术的） jobs. In China, English is the most important foreign language learned at school.

English is so widely used that it has become the standard (标准的 ) language for all kinds of international communication. Now 75% of the world s mails are in English, 60% of the world s telephone calls are made in English, 60% of the world s radio programs are broadcast（广播） in English and over half of the world s books and magazines are written in English. In a word, English is now the world s first language. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案 ,将其标号填入题前括号内。 ( ) 51. What s the meaning of the sentence “ English has become the new Latin of the century” ? A.

Here are the five Rs for us: 61._ If you want to make less waste, you should use things wisely. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly and throws it away, we would not have any trees left some day . Other things are also being wasted, and people don t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to make less waste. 62._ You should always think of using the things in another way before throwing them out. Give your clothes you don t wear or the ones which are too small to the poor. In a family , you may pass on such clothes to your younger brothers or sisters. 63. _ Bottles, cans and paper can be easily put through a special process(加工过程 ). By doing so we save lots of time and money. For example, Coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat (压平） and melted（熔化） to make new Coke cans. 64._ When you buy a box of apples, sometimes there may be a few rotten（腐烂的） apples. You have two choices:to throw the whole apples away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and use the good parts. In this way, you are getting back the eatable parts of food. 65._ If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can try fixing it up. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. A. Recover B. Reuse C. Repair D. Recycle E.

Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets 67_.If we go far away enough from the ground, we can find there is 68_ air. Scientists have always wanted to know more about space. They have looked at it through telescopes and found a lot of stars. The moon is about 384,000 kilometers away from the earth. An airplane cannot fly to the moon because the air reaches only 240 kilometers. Then there is no air. But there is 69_ that can fly even when there is no air. This is the rocket. I am sure that you are asking, “ How does a rocket fly?” If you want to know, get a balloon and then blow it up until it is quite big. Do not tie up the neck of the balloon .Let it go! The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly. The air inside the balloon tries to get out. It 70_ out through the neck of the balloon and pushes the balloon through the air. It does not need wings. This is how a rocket 71_.It is not made of rubber like a balloon, of course. It is made of metal. The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong. The gas inside the rocket is made very hot. When it rushes out of the end of the rocket, the rocket 72_ up into the air. Rockets can fly far out into space. Rockets with men inside them have already reached the moon. Several rockets, without men inside 73_, have been sent to other planets _74_ father away. One day rockets may be able to go 75_ in space. 66._ 67._68._69._70._ 71._72._73._74._75._ （请注意时间，再加把油，争取更优秀吧！） 五补全对话（ 5 小题，每小题 2 分，共 10 分） 根据下面的对话情景，在每个空白处填上一个适当的 句子 ， 使对话意义连贯、完整 。 A: Excuse me, how do you say this in English?
