The WHO announced that it learned of cases of "suspicious flu" (可疑流感) from Mexico on April 9 and acted quickly on April 24 when US and Canadian laboratories proved it was caused by a new kind of flu virus.
On Thursday, the WHO said it would call the new virus A(H1N1), not swine flu, since there is no evidence that pigs have the virus or can spread it to humans.

number of confirmed cases outside Mexico is in

“How many mon English words were invented by Shakespeare?”
How long did it take people to find the answer to this question 15 years ago? And now! You can google it and find the answer immediately!
Google is the most popular Internet search enginein the world. It was invented by two
students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. They met in 1993, when they were studying puter science at Stanford University, USA. They dreamed of producing something that could also answer any question in seconds.
Internet search engines at that time were slow and gave many websites that weren’t useful. In January 1996, Page and Brin decided to make a better and faster search engine. They thought the results should be based on the most popular websites.
Nobody would give them money for their project, so they used their own money. They also borrowed money from family and friends. Then, in 1998, they were given a cheque for $100,000, and they started their own pany. Their first office was in a friend’s garage(车库).The name of the pany is Google, a word which es from mathematics. A “google” is a very high number — 1 followed by a hundred zeros.
The Google search engine was soon used by thousands of people worldwide because it was fast, easy and correct. By 2002 it was the biggest search engine on the Internet. Now, more questions have been answered by Google than any other Internet service, from sport to science, and from music to medicine. Google hopes that in the future all the world’s information will be put on the Internet, so that everybody can find everything.

Grammar is the way a language works. People sometimes describe grammar as the “rules” of a language; but in fact no natural languages have rules. If we use the word “rules”, we believe that some people have made the rules first and now people speak the language, like a new game. But languages did not start like that. Languages were started by people making sounds which gradually(渐渐地) changed into words, phrases, and sentences. No monly-spoken language is fixed. All languages change over time. What we call grammar is simply a description of a language at a particular time.
Do we need to study grammar to learn a language? The answer is “No”. Many peop le in the world speak their mother language without having studied its grammar. Children start to speak before they even know the word “grammar”. But if you are serious about learning a foreign language, the long answer is “Yes, grammar can help you to learn a language more quickly.” It’s important to think of grammar as something that can help you, like a friend. When you understand the grammar of a language, you can understand many things yourself, without having to ask a teacher or look in a book.
So think of grammar as something good, something helpful, something that you can use to find your way like a signpost or a map.
36. The writer of this passage believes that if grammar is described as “rules”, it would
means that _____.
A. rules must be made to speak the language
B. language goes before grammar
C. rules are fixed by language
D. language is not a new game
37. In the first paragraph, we can see that _____.
A. language is changing, and so is its grammar
B. grammar must be simple to describe a language
C. languages were formed by people now and then
D. grammar should be changed at a particular time
38.The word “signpost” means _______ in C hinese.
A. 表明
B. 路标
C. 手势
D. 地方
39.The writer thinks that grammar helps when_____.
A. we look up something in a book
B. we ask someone to make rules
C. we speak our native language
D. we learn a foreign language
40.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. Grammar Is the Rules of a Language
B. The Change of Language
C. Grammar Is Your Friend
