Many of our TV programs come to us through satellitesAirplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact locationWe use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to anotherThey are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equatorSometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same placeThis is because it is moving around the world at 11，000 kilometers an hourexactly the same speed that the earth rotatesA satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae(天线)facing the earthSometimes, it moves away from its orbit，So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right positionThis usually happens about every five or six daysSpace is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the EarthA satellite usually works for about 10-12 yearsSatellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repairedOften，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long timeThis is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other56Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?ASending information for weather forecast BTaking photographs of the EarthCSending TV picturesDProviding food for airplane pilots57Whats the speed the earth rotates at?A35,880 kilometers per hour B335,880 kilometers per hourC11,000 kilometers per hour D110,000 kilometers per hour58Why does the satellite move around the world at the same speed as the Earth rotates?AIn order to take photographs BIn order to stay in a certain position in the orbitCIn order to move away from its orbitDIn order to send television pictures59What does the underlined word “This in the 3rd paragraph refer to?AA satellite BA little rocketCA satellite seems to stay in the same place in the skyDThe satellite puts the rockets in the right position60Which is true of satellites?AA satellite usually works for about 10-12 yearsBEvery time a satellite gets broken，it is brought back to the Earth to be repairedCA broken satellite is never left in spaceDThey often crash into each otherB   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 isnt 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 worlds 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 whats 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. 61. In David Graddols 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 future62. 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 English63. How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English?     A. 2.            B. 3.       C. 4.          D. 5.64. 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.65. 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 DownCLanguage learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners .Most children will “obey spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child .Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these cant be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation模仿leads on to deliberate有意的imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say th
