or i didnt understand, can you repeat that? . its just, say again. no more grammar!in the age of international communication through the internet who knows? . a new form of english might appear. a large number of the worlds e-mails are in english and include examples of netlingo like oic (oh, i see) and ttyl (talk to you later). in another fifty years, english, as we know it, might not exist . we will probably all speak fluent internetish!56. it will take a person about _ weeks to learn basic english if he spends two hours learning it every day. a. six b. four c. three d. two 57. what might happen to english in another fifty years? a. it might become a global language. b. it might be replaced by internetish. c. it might take the place of all other languages. d. it might become more and more difficult. 58. the best title for the passage would be _.a. seaspeak b. basic english c. easy english d. internetishbafter an earthquake most survivors can be expected to recover over time, especially with the support of family and friends. some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly, but others will have to contend with the destruction of their homes, medical problems, and injury to family members. children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the closing down of their school. children often come to adults for information, comfort and help. parents should try to remain calm, answer childrens questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their childrens behavior. children react(反应) differently to an earthquake depending on their ages, developmental levels and former experiences. some will remain silent and not communicate with people, while others will have angry outbursts(爆发). parents should keep an eye on each childs reactions. parents should spend time talking to their children, letting them know that its ok to ask questions and to share their worries. although it may be hard to find time to have these talks, parents can use regular family meal times or bed times for them. they should answer questions shortly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and ideas. problems may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you answer the questions again. after talking about the earthquake with young children, parents might read their favorite story or have a relaxing family activity to help them calm down. parents should also tell children they are safe and should spend more time with them. they could play games outside or read together indoors. most importantly, be sure to tell them you love them.59. whats the passage mainly about? a. how to prepare before an earthquake happens b. what to do in an earthquake c. how to face the loss of a loved one in an earthquake d. how to help children recover mentally (精神上) from an earthquake 60. when children ask the same question again, parents should _.a. read a favorite story to them b. ask them to do some houseworkc. be patient and answer the question again d. take them out to play games61. which of the following pieces of advice is not mentioned in the passage?a. keep a close watch on childrens behavior. b. tell the children they are safe.c. tell the children you love them. d. ask educational experts (专家) for help.62. what can we know from the passage?a. all people will recover from an earthquake quickly.b. children may need a longer time to recover after an earthquake.c. children should turn to their classmates for help after an earthquake.d. children react in the same way as adults do to an earthquake.c whoever has made a voyage up the hudson river must remember the catskill mountains. they are a branch of the great appalachian（阿巴拉契亚山脉） family, and can be seen to the west rising up to a noble height and towering over the surrounding country. when the weather is fair and settled, they are clothed in blue and purple, and print their beautiful shapes on the clear evening sky, but sometimes when it is cloudless, gray steam gathers around the top of the mountains which, in the last rays of the setting sun, will shine and light up like a crown of glory（光荣，荣誉）. at the foot of these mountains, a traveler may see light smoke going up from a village. in that village, and in one of the houses (which, to tell the exact truth, was sadly time-worn and weather-beaten), there lived many years ago, a simple, good-natured fellow by the name of rip van winkle. rips great weakness was a natural dislike of all kinds of money-making labor. it could not be from lack of diligence, for he could sit all day on a wet rock and fish without saying a word, even though he was not encouraged by a single bite. he would carry a gun on his shoulder for hours, walking through woods and fields to shoot a few birds or squirrels. he would never refuse to help a neighbor, even in the roughest work. the women of the village, too, used to employ him to do such little jobs as their less helpful husbands would not do for them. in a word, rip was ready to attend to everybodys business but his own. if left to himself, he would have whistled life away in perfect satisfaction; but his wife was always mad at him for his idleness (懒散). morning, noon, and night, her tongue was endlessly going, so that he was forced to escape to the outside of the house - the only side which, in truth, belongs to a henpecked husband.63. which of the following best describes the catskill mountains? a. they are on the west of the hudson river. b. they are very high and beautiful in this area. c. they can be seen from the appalachian family. d. they gather beautiful clouds in blue and purple.64. the hero of the story is probably_.a. hard-working and likes all kinds of work b. idle and hates all kinds of jobsc. simple, idle but very dutiful d. gentle, helpful but a little idle65. the underlined words henpecked husband in the last paragraph probably means a man who . a. likes hunting b. is afraid of hens c. loves his wife d. is afraid of his wife66. what would be the best title for the text? a. catskill mountains. b. a mountain village. c. rip van winkle. d. a dutiful husband.d after the violent earthquake that shook los angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report: the damage and death toll （死亡人数）could have been much worse. more than 60 people died in this earthquake. by comparison, as earthquake of similar intensity that shook america in 1988 claimed 25,000 deaths. injuries and deaths were relatively less in los angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the citys highways. in addition, changes made to the construction codes (规章) in los angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the ci
