26、   I could not hear what was going on the other end of the phone, but it was making her cry, and I was crying too.

When I was younger, I used to watch my mum get ready for work in the morning, tracing the line of her lashes with eyeliner, putting on blouses and heels. She said that she liked how it made her feel. I saw her as somebody who would always be there to protect me, who was capable of anything.

The phone call in question was one that she had been waiting on for a few weeks: the final diagnosis of her breast cancer.

The process of treatment was slow and hellish. After the treatment, all her hair thinned, and she wore false eyelashes some days and penciled in the gaps in her eyebrows. My mother, who would never take naps or sleep past eight in the morning, was suddenly so exhausted by being awake that she would sometimes stay in bed for the whole day. Actually after the surgery, she felt too painful and weak to lift a gallon of milk.

She once asked me if I was glad to be aware of her illness. I spent the majority of the year of her treatment worrying but I told my mother that I was glad to have had the privilege of worrying.

Before my 13th birthday, I’d always considered a birthday to have fun and the joy of becoming a year older. Seeing my mom for the first time after surgery was the end of that. That isn’t to say that she had changed fundamentally; my mother was still beautiful and kind and incredibly strong, but the person that she was no longer tied to my ideas of her.

Growing up and beginning to see your parents as people are inseparable processes. That birthday was the turning point of a year that forced me to begin to see my mother as a person, someone whole and real.

【1】According to Paragraph 1, what most probably made the author cry?

A.Mom’s tears. B.Breast cancer. C.The caller. D.Lack of attention.

【2】The author used to think of her mom as a/an   .

A.patient B.housewife C.superhero D.ordinary being

【3】What does the underlined word “hellish” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.Extremely unpleasant. B.Totally comfortable.

C.Especially attractive. D.Slightly different.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Every man has its price. B.A miss is as good as a mile.

C.Misfortune promotes growth. D.A close mouth catches no flies.

27、   Nelson Mandela, once said: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.” Mandela understood our mother language is very personal thing to us.

After all, it’s the language we first hear and the language we first learn to speak. We can communicate in a nuanced(微妙的) way through our mother language, expressing our emotions and moods more fluently. We make friends in our mother language. We fall in love in it. When we die, we know people will mourn for us in our mother language.

For people who speak an ancient tongue as their mother language, their language is their main link with their ancestors. And it is also how they imagine the future. So it’s a serious thing that a language disappears. Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozen people, like Yagan in Chile. Africa and South America are also places where many languages are imperiled.

Why are humans speaking fewer languages than we once did? The answer has to do with globalization(全球化). With greater trade and communication, the planet has become smaller. Some people aren’t prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages.

Through efforts both large and small, they are getting people to speak and read in certain languages, and to pass them on. The United Nations has set Feb 21st as International Mother Language Day to raise awareness of dying languages. This work is very important. As US writer Rita Mac Brown wrote, “Language is the roadmap of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going”.

【1】The author uses Nelson Mandela’s words in order to _________.

A.show great respect for Mandela

B.stress the importance of mother language

C.show Mandela’s contribution to language

D.draw our attention to language learning

【2】What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.The friendship. B.The mother language.

C.The emotion. D.The ancient tongue.

【3】Which is the closest in meaning to “imperiled” in Paragraph 3?

A.Endangered. B.Developed. C.Protected. D.Changed.

【4】What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?

A.The roadmap of a culture. B.Efforts to save the dying languages.

C.A planet with fewer languages. D.International Mother Language Day.

【5】What might be the best title for the text?

A.Our Languages Tell Us More

B.Why Languages are Disappearing

C.The Rise and Fall of a Language

D.International Mother Language Day
