Winters are cld in nrthern British Clumbia, a prvince f Canada. That's ne reasn why tw girls became cncerned abut a number f hmeless cats in their twn.
“My dad first saw this big cat prblem ... and he knew the man wh had all the cats,” says Vivienne Thmpsn. Vivienne and her friend Catrina Vanderwlf learned that the man wasn't happy abut all the cats living arund his hme. They ffered t help.

Valentine's Day, especially in America, is a hliday that bears much sentimental (感情的) value. T celebrate, cuples exchange cards and flwers t express their lve. At my high schl, students can buy flwers t deliver t ne anther during class. As fr mst f my friends, the ccasin is simply an excuse t enjy chclate.
While these are all cmmn ideas f Valentine's Day, it is hard t believe that the hliday is based n Bishp Valentine, wh bjected t the rules f the Rman Emperr Claudius. Accrding t the Christian faith (信仰), Valentine's stry is ne f curage and rmance.
During the third century, the Rman Empire was weakened by attacks frm surrunding tribes (部落). Emperr Claudius the Secnd, wh ruled at the time, believed that marriage had made his sldiers weak. T settle his cncerns, he passed a law that frbade marriage, t ensure the quality f his sldiers. This ban n marriage was a great shck, especially t Bishp Valentine, wh nted the injustice f the law. Disregarding Claudius' wishes, Valentine helped lvers unite in a marriage. Hwever, it was nly a matter f time befre the bishp's practices were discvered and he was caught by the emperr. Immediately, Valentine was imprisned.
While waiting fr his sentence, the bishp's jailr, Asterius, apprached him; he begged Valentine t heal (治愈) his blind daughter. Successfully, Valentine restred the girl's visin and ver time, they became clse and fell in lve. Mnths later, the emperr asked Valentine t agree t his demand that Valentine end his practices. Since Claudius's request went against his religin, the bishp refused. Mments befre his executin (处死), Valentine asked fr a pen and paper frm Emperr Claudius. In a rmantic gesture, the bishp signed a final farewell message t Asterius's daughter, his lver. In the letter, he wrte, “frm yur Valentine” — a phrase that has lived n ever after.
While Valentine's Day has becme a widely cmmercialized (商业化的) ccasin, there is much t learn frm the hliday's histry. In the end, the stry f Bishp Valentine shws what the hliday shuld represent — a time t appreciate lved nes.
28. Why did Claudius ban marriage?
A. T exercise his pwer.
B. T fight against Valentine.
C. T prduce quality sldiers.
D. T gvern the unruly citizens.
29. What des the underlined wrd “restred” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Shwed.
B. Gave back.
C. Shared.
D. Knew abut.
30. What d we knw abut Valentine?
A. He had firm beliefs.
B. He funded Valentine's Day.
C. He was put t death by Asterius.
D. He fell in lve with Claudius's daughter.
31. What is the fcus f this text?
A. The greatest bishp in human histry.
B. Why peple celebrate Valentine's Day.
C. Hw Valentine helped yung lvers unite.
D. The meaning and histry f Valentine's Day.
[D]
Cmpared t saving the rainfrests, r helping pandas t prduce yung, linguistic eclgy (语言生态) might nt seem very exciting. One language is becming extinct every frtnight — s what? “Why shuld we care?” is a cmmn reactin. Here are a few reasns why yu shuld.
Identity: Many speakers f minrity languages are fiercely prud f their language. Language frms an imprtant part f anyne's identity. Nerys Jenkins in Belfast says, “Telling me nt t speak Welsh wuld be like telling me nt t breathe: I just culdn't d it.” T let smene's language die ut is t let part f their identity die t.
Culture: Language is cnnected with culture — if a natin lses a language, it may als lse its links with a traditin f jkes, music and literature. Elizabeth MacDnald frm Arisaig says Scttish Gaelic is “... ur language, the mst imprtant part f an ancient culture which has smehw survived despite (尽管) many persecutins (迫害) ver the centuries. It is a culture rich in stry, sng and petry, belved f thse familiar with it.”
Knwledge: Languages harbr all kinds f human knwledge — including useful bilgical r medical infrmatin that we might nt find ut abut therwise. In the Micmac language, fr example, trees are named after the sund they make in the wind. The names change as the sunds change, s, if an elderly Micmac speaker remembers that a certain kind f tree used t have ne name, but is nw called smething else, this can shw the effects f acid rain n that species. Lse Micmac and yu will lse that understanding.
Of the 6,000 r s languages in the wrld, mre than half are expected t die within the next century, and many mre are disappearing. It's estimated (估计) that tw languages die ut every mnth. It's easy t think f dying and extinct languages as just facts and figures, but behind every ne, there are real peple. The nline Ethnlgue database, fr example, says f ne Syrian language: “The last speaker died in 1998. His daughter knws Mlahsö well, but is nearly deaf and has n ne t speak it t.”
32. What d Nerys Jenkins's wrds suggest?
A. He takes pride in his language.
B. He desn't knw ther languages.
C. He can't find his identity in Wales.
D. He'll die if nt allwed t speak Welsh.
33. What d we knw abut language frm Paragraph 3?
A. It builds a natin's spirit.
B. It frms a natin's traditin.
C. It keeps peple in tuch with the classics.
D. It cnnects peple frm different natins.
34. What d the tree name changes imply?
A. Languages develp very fast.
B. The air pllutin is getting wrse.
C. The number f Micmac speakers is drpping.
D. Peple f different ages speak different languages.
35. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. Mlahsö is n lnger in existence.
B. The extinctin f languages matters little.
C. Languages die with the disappearance f facts.
D. Languages are disappearing at a surprising speed.

Jhannes Gutenberg
—the pineer f the printing press
Jhannes Gutenberg was chsen t be the mst imprtant figure f the past millennium by the media (媒体). Yu may nt be familiar with him. 36 Gutenberg is praised fr having invented the printing press and therefre preparing the way fr printing bks.
He was brn int a wealthy family in the city f Mainz, Germany. His early training was in gldsmithing. In 1428, he mved t Strasburg and lived there fr almst 20 years. 37
Gutenberg used his skills in metalwrk fr the mass prductin f bks. 38 That means that each cpy f the Cathlic bible and all f its 73 bks were painstakingly handwritten by penmen. Gutenberg fashined a fnt (字体) f ver 300 characters, far larger than the fnts f tday. T make this pssible, he invented the variable-width mld (模型) and perfected the mixture f materials used by type factries up t the present century.
39 Between 1450 and 1455, while preparing t prduce a large Latin Bible, Gutenberg is thught t have printed a number f smaller bks, a calendar, and a papal Letter f Indulgence. The Bible f 42 Lines, the ldest surviving printed bk in the Western wrld, was cmpleted by August 15, 1456.
The discvery f the mdern printing press changed the way infrmatin was delivered. 40 Even tday in the cmputer age, we rely heavily n the printed wrd r text fr instructin, infrmatin, and fr the pleasure f reading literature.
A. Gutenberg made the wrld a much richer place.
B. But he has certainly influenced yur life in sme ways.
C. Gutenberg's idea was ne f the greatest f all mankind.
D. By 1450, Gutenberg was back in Mainz at wrk n a printing press.
