Facts about Esperanto

The language was invented by L.L. Zamenhof and first appeared in a book in 1887. He made it easy to learn by making the grammar rules simple to follow. There are no irregular verbs as there are in other languages. The words are not difficult to pronounce. There is a core vocabulary of only 900 words.

Information about our schools

Founded in 1998 with just one school, we have grown rapidly and now have centres in many major cities. Our teachers are all highly trained and well qualified. Some of them have been learning Esperanto since they were born! All our schools have a computer centre for online learning and a library with a wide range of books in Esperanto for students to borrow.

25、   On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. The space suit Armstrong wore on his lunar mission has come to symbolize courage and human achievement. In 1971, the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum(NASM), in Washington, D.C., acquired (获得)Armstrong's suit. It stood proudly on display for visitors to admire, until there were changes in the suit's appearance. "Over time, the suit started to show signs of deterioration," Lisa Young said. Young is an objects conservator (文物修复员) at NASM. It is her job to preserve（维护）historical and cultural objects.

"Plastics are tricky to conserve," Young says. They tend to degrade (降解)over time. Neoprene is one type of plastic in Armstrong's suit. The material can turn brittle and break into tiny pieces. This would ruin the space suit. NASM, seeking ways to preserve this historical treasure, removed it from display in 2006.

What causes plastic to degrade in the first place? "Many things," Odile Madden says. Madden is a scientist in California. She explains that sunlight, water, humidity, and dust can cause plastics to degrade. "Some plastics will break down no matter what we do." Madden says.

Yet history can still be saved. Scientists have found that storing plastics in cooler temperatures, with lower humidity levels, can slow degradation. Young says Armstrong's suit is currently in storage at a temperature of 63°F and a lower relative humidity of 30%. These conditions will be maintained when Armstrong's suit returns to a museum display case in time for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.

Plastic degradation affects art, too. Artist Claes Oldenburg created False Food Selection in 1966.It consists of plastic food displayed in a wooden box. The plastic food used to look real. Now, some of it has flattened and yellowed. Georgina Rayner is a conservation scientist at Harvard Art Museums, in Cambridge. She says the artwork's wooden box produces an acidic (酸的) gas that eats away at the plastic. This speeds up the degradation process. But Rayner is motivated to conserve this artwork and others like it. "Plastics are a part of our history," she says. "It's important to preserve them so that future generations can understand the journey we've taken."

【1】Neil Armstrong's space suit   .

A. is in storage at a higher relative humidity B. is considered as a symbol of plastic art

C. was protected at Harvard Art Museums D. was removed from display in 2006

【2】The word "deterioration" in Paragraph 1 probably means "   ".

A. becoming worse B. losing attention C. getting stronger D. being valuable

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A. Plastic artworks help future generations learn more about history.

B. We can do nothing to prevent plastic objects from breaking down.

C. The acidic gas is a necessity in the preservation of plastic objects.

D. People are advised to use fewer plastic objects in their daily life.

26、I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives( 观点 ) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.

With this belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.

Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read books. Reading reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn’t necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

【1】What can be inferred about the author as a child?

A. He never watched TV.

B. He found reading unbelievable.

C. He considered reading part of his life.

D. He read what he had to.

【2】The underlined word “voice” in the second paragraph most probably means “________”.

A. a belief   B. a way of writing   C. a sound quality   D. a world to write about

【3】What effect does reading have on the author?

A. It opens up a wider world for him.

B. It helps him to realize his dream.

C. It makes his college life more interesting.

D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title of this text?

A. How do I read?   B. What do I read?   C. Why do I read?   D. When do I read?

27、Long ago, people made fires from lightning(闪电). But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn’t start it again if there was no lightning. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing. They made a hole on a big piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.

As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.

About two centuries ago, people began to make matches (火柴). Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fire. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is more useful.

C．burn dry leaves

D．keep fires burning

【2】We can also get a fire by _________.

D．doing all the above together

【3】Matches have been used _________.

A．for about two thousand years

B．for about two hundred years

C．since people began to use fire for cooking

D．since people used the heat from the sun

【4】From this passage we know _______.

A．using matches is the easiest and most useful way to make fires

B．people don’t use matches any more since they had electric fire starters

C．today there are only two ways to make fires

D．some forest fires happen from lightning

28、A young painter completed a nice picture. To get people’s t【1】 about his skills, he put it at a crossing on a busy street. And below it a board read, ＂Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. S【2】 I’m new, I might make some mistakes in it. Please put a cross (叉号) wherever you see a mistake.＂

When he came back in the evening to c【3】 his picture, he was shocked to see that the whole picture was filled with crosses. And some people e【4】 wrote something on his picture. Sadly, he ran to his master and said, ＂I failed. And if this is what I have learned, I’m not w【5】 teaching. ＂

The master smiled and suggested, ＂I’ll let you know that you’re a great artist. Now go to paint the same picture again and give it to me. ＂

Then they went to the same street the next morning and put the new picture exactly at the same place. Now the master took out another board w【6】 said, ＂Gentlemen, I painted this piece. There might be some mistakes in it. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please give me a h【7】. If you see a mistake, pick up the brush and correct it.＂

Two days later, they came back to the place. The young painter was s【8】 to see that actually there was not a single correction done!

It’s easy to say but difficult to do. If you want to help people i【9】 their behavior, you’d better learn how to help people change their attitudes (态度) or skills. Also, always remember not to judge (评判) y【10】 by someone else’s words and feel bad.

29、On the first day of school our teacher introduced a special student to us. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand _________my shoulder.

“Why are you in university at_________a young age?” I asked_________. She replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have some kids, and then retire and travel.”

I knew she was joking. I was curious(好奇) what may push her to take on this challenge at her age.

“I always dreamed of having a university_______ and now I’m getting one!”she told me. We became friends. I always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she_______  her experience with me. And Rose easily made friends _______ she went.She loved to_______ to make herself look younger.
