The guy who tried to edit English
The English vocabulary is not only huge,it's also fiill of words that mean practically the same thing. Get,obtain,acquire. Shine,gleam,glow,sparkle. 36
That was the thinking of a British writer named C. K. Ogden,who in the 1930s proposed(提议) a new form of English with a vocabulary of just 850 words. He called the project Basic English. 37
Ogden arrived at his 850-word list through experimentation,rephrasing texts over and over until he was satisfied. The words he finally included were not necessarily the shortest or most concrete. 38 Because any verbal idea could be expressed with a small number of “operators” — words like come,go, get,take,have,make,be, and do — Ogden argued that most verbs were unnecessary. In Basic English, eat is “have a meal." is “go from memory."
Winston Churchill was a fan of the concept as a way to get foreigners to speak English,and he encouraged the BBC to use it. 39 Roosevelt,who expressed mild interest,joked that Churchill's famous speech about offering his “blood,toil,tears,and sweat” to his country wouldn’t have been so exciting if he “had been able to offer the British people only blood,work,eye water,and face water,which I understand is the best that Basic English can do with five famous words."
40 Churchill didn't use it either. When seeking to express ourselves,we don't necessarily need fewer words; we need the right words. So it's to our benefit to have a large supply on hand.
A. Do we really need them all?
B. How many words are there in English?
C. Ogden himself didn't actually use Basic English.
D. Plenty of seemingly basic words did not make the list at all.
E. He also tried to persuade President Franklin Roosevelt to promote it.
F. He believed it would make the language more efficient and easier to learn.
G. Despite attention from world leaders,Basic English never got very far off the drawing board.

In a wheat field in France,a cat meets a black-bellied hamster(仓鼠) .Too far from her burrow(洞穴) to run for shelter,the wild hamster rises on her back legs to face her enemy. The cat backs away.“They’re afraid of nothing,says Alexandre Lehmamij a biologist who has worked with these wild hamsters for the past 12 years. “They fight against cats and dogs and even farmers. They try to fight against tractors." It's a good thing that the black-bellied hamster won’t go down without a fight. Because in France,where only 500 to 1,000 remain in the wild,they are in a fight for their lives.
At the Stork and Otter Reintroduction Centre in Alsace,Lehmann and his colleagues breed captive hamsters and set the young hamsters free into the wild. But raising black-bellied hamsters isn't exactly easy. Remember,they have attitude. Forget humans 一 they don't even like each other. “You have to make sure the male and female don't kill each other ,” Lehmann says.
Black-bellied hamsters might think of themselves as tough guys. But to a fox or an eagle,theyJ re just a four-legged snack. To survive,hamsters need to be set into a field with lots of leafy hiding places. That's a problem in Alsace,where most farmers plant com. The com hasn't sprouted(发芽) in early spring,when hamsters come out of their burrows from winter hibernation(冬眠). In the bare fields the hamsters are easy targets for their enemies.
Some older farmers don't want hamsters in their fields because of their reputation as crop-chewing pests. But most are willing to help,especially since the French government will pay farmers to grow early-sprouting crops such as alfalfa and winter wheat and allow hamsters to be set free on their lands. It's a way to protect not just the hamsters,but also other small animals in leafy fields.
24. By saying “It's a good thing that the black-bellied hamster won't go down without a fight” in Paragraph 1 ,the author means “ ”.
A. The black-bellied hamsters are bom fighters
B. The number of hamsters won’t go down quickly quickly
C. It's good for the increase of hamsters’ population
D. It's a quite great experience to see hamsters fighting
25. Why is it hard to raise black-bellied hamsters?
A. They will run into the wild.
B. They are not fond of humans.
C. The male and female won't live in peace.
D. The male can't understand the female's attitude.
26. What problem do hamsters trying to survive in Alsace have?
A. Their burrows are always taken by foxes.
B. They are unable to feed themselves on com.
C. Their winter hibernation is disturbed frequently.
D. They are exposed to their enemies in early spring.
27. Those farmers who are willing to help hamsters will .
A. plant more corn
B. try to get rid of pests
C. grow plants that shoot early

Monique Udell,a researcher with Oregon State University,got the help of ten domesticated(驯养的) dogs,ten dogs that live in shelters,and ten wolves raised by humans. Each of the animals was presented with a tasty sausage which they could smell,but not eat. The sausage was then placed inside a plastic container with a cover connected to a short length of rope. In order to open the container and eat the sausage,they had to pull on the rope while holding down the container,a task considered fairly simple for dogs and wolves. The experiment was conducted in two ways,one in which the animals were alone,and the other one in which they were with their owners.
Surprisingly,none of the pet dogs was able to complete the task,and only one of the shelter dogs did so. However,eight out of ten wolves succeeded.
The presence of a human made no difference. When the owner offered encouragements,four of the shelter dogs were able to access the sausage,but still only one pet managed to do it.
Udell also made an interesting note: pet dogs have lived alongside humans for a long time,and therefore,when feeling confused about a new situation,they tend to look at their owners for help. The dogs were asking for help,while the wolves didn't give up and tried to solve the problem themselves.
This experiment seems to show that something about being pets made dogs lose a big part of their motivation and this affects their problem-solving ability. Perhaps even more interesting is the fact that shelter dogs did somewhat better than house dogs — which indicates that being a pet makes dogs “softer” and less motivated to solve problems. However,things are not as simple as saying that wolves are “smarter” or “more creative” than dogs.
28. The sausages used in the experiment.
A. had a disgusting smell
B. came from some shelters
C. were directly tied to a rope
D. could be reached with very little effort
29. As for the pet dogs in the experiment,the presence of their owners .
A. produced a negative result
B. made them totally confused
C. had little effect on their performance
D. gave them the greatest encouragement
30. What does the underlined part “do it” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A. Pull on the rope. B. Smell the sausage.
C. Open the container. D. Make a difference.
31. The experiment shows that .
A. dogs hate being kept as pets
B. pets have lost part of their wild nature
C. shelter dogs seldom turn to others for help
D. wolves are smarter and more creative than dogs
