In Chinese, what word do you usually use to call your mother? It’s “Mama”, isn’t it? And as you know, in America, kids call their mother “Mom” or “Mommy”． In French, the word is “Maman”, and in Arabic(阿拉伯语), it’s “Ummi”．
Have you noticed that these words for “mother” all have a sound close to “m”? Similarly, the words for “father” almost all have the sound “b” or “p”． There are over 7,000 languages around the world． The words for other things are usually very different from one language to another． But why are the words for “mother” and “father” so similar?
The answer lies in how babies start to talk． The easiest sound a baby can make is “ah”． A child can make this sound without the use of his tongue(舌头) or lips (嘴唇)． Then, if he is going to change things a little bit, the easiest thing to do is to break up that sound by closing his lips for a while． The child, by this point, has long been doing this to suck(吸吮) milk． And so, the baby makes the sound “mah”．
In fact, babies “speaking” in this way are just playing． Adults, however, don’t think so． When a baby says “mah mah”, it sounds as if(好似) he is calling someone． And the person is most likely(可能) to be his mother． The mother takes “mah” as meaning her． When speaking to her baby, she calls herself “mama”． The word “mama” starts to mean “mother”． This happens with human babies worldwide．
After babies begin making “m” by putting their lips together, they pick up the sound “bah” or “pah” in a similar way． When they make this sound, they are thought to be calling their second closest person: their father．
In this way, you call your mother “mama”, and your father “baba”． In fact, you have been doing this ever since you started to make sounds．
56． Paragraph(段落) 1 shows the words for “mother” in different countries sound similar by ________．
A． doing a survey B． repeating information
C． giving examples D． describing differences
57． If we want to understand why the words for “mother” and “father” sound similar, we should know ________．
A． the way babies start to talk B． the languages around the world
C． the meanings of “mah” and “bah” D． the difference between “mah” and “bah”
58． The babies’ original (最初的) purpose of saying “mah” is to ________．
A． start to talk B． call his mother
C． play in this way D． ask his mother for help
59． In order to make the sound “bah”, babies have to________．
A． open their lips all the time B． see their fathers
C． use neither their tongue nor lips D． put their lips together
60． What can be the best title for the passage?
A． Babies’ talk with their parents B． Words that sound similar
C “Mama” and “baba” worldwide D． Parents’ love for babies
D
①My daughter gave me an address book for my birthday． She knows the one I have is old． The gift is lovely: the cover is colourful, and the pages are white． But I don’t feel like I am free to use this new address book because I’m still tied to my old one．
②My address book tells my own story—the way I moved around． Names were added in different colours from different periods of my life． When I moved back home to Niagara, my address book included the old information I needed in order to be able to get in touch with some of my old friends again．
③There are certainly stories of friendships in this book—the comings and goings of my friends． Their address has been corrected again and again, filling up one line after another． I have started using pencil for some of them because they are taking up too much space! Some friends went on to marry each other． For such things, I used arrows (箭头) to show how these two families had become one． Children’s names were added one by one． Then some got their own lines as they moved out．
④This book also includes the stories of my family—two generations(一代人) of relatives． I can remember all their phone numbers, and I can picture their houses in detail． Some have died, but their addresses are still there in my book．
⑤“Don’t you have all that on your phone?” My daughter, who never uses address books, asked me once when she saw me checking my address book． I know that having it on a phone is super useful and can save a lot of trouble． But making changes on a phone is always done completely． When you don’t see a person any more, you delete (删除) all his information． It’s like he was never there．
⑥My old address book now sits on top of the new one． The magnet(磁铁) on its cover is as strong as ever, keeping all the people from A to Z in order． But my new address book whispers a story of new possibilities． It offers me space for those new friends that I haven’t met yet． I’ll get to it． It’s just a matter of time．
61． The old information in the old address book can help the writer ________．
A． move back home to Niagara B． connect with old friends again
C． move around the world D． make more new friends
62． The writer drew arrows in his address book when ________．
A． two strangers became friends
B． two friends became husband and wife
C． a friend of hers gave birth to a child
D． a friend of hers moved to a new place
63． Why does the writer dislike keeping friends’ information on a phone?
A． Because she finds it not easy to use a phone．
B． Because she wants to be different from the younger．
C． Because it’s impossible to get back to the information if it is deleted．
D． Because she has to depend on her daughter to manage the information．
64． What can we infer(推断) from the last paragraph?
A． The writer doesn’t like the new address book．
B． The writer will start to use the new address book soon．
C． The writer has decided to throw her old address book away．
D． The writer decides to put all her friends’ information into a phone．
65． What is the proper structure of the passage?
A． ①—②③④⑤—⑥ B． ①②③—④—⑤⑥
C． ①②—③④—⑤⑥ D． ①—②③④—⑤—⑥

五、任务型阅读
阅读下面的短文，并根据所读内容，在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词 。
We all need deep and lasting friendships with other people． However, some people complain that they find it hard to make new friends． Do you have such problems? The following may help you．
Be active to meet new friends．
Heather Havrilesky is a famous writer for a magazine． She points out that believing other people also need friends is important to making friends． “Many people think that everybody already has his or her friends,” she says． “This is a wrong idea． People do have their own friends, but they are still willing to meet new ones．”
When you try to communicate with someone you don’t know well, you often feel uncomfortable． Accept such a feeling． Otherwise, you can’t have new friends．
Spend time on what you love．
If you ask people how you can make new friends, many of them will tell you to try picking up a hobby． Havrilesky says that this truly works． “Do the things you like, and people will naturally come to you,” she says． “You will meet people who share your hobbies．”
You may start with the hobby you like best． If it doesn’t work, remember that you have many talents． You don’t have to be interested in just one thing．
