He would 33 to add something, but she stopped him. She wanted to tell everything herself. I found a large cancer that spread over much of the 34 of her mouth. A careful examination later 35 that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.During her next appointment, I explained to her the 36 of the problem. She clasped my hand in hers and said, “I know you're worried about me, but I'm just 37 . ”I thought otherwise.

It's not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration. For a person's first language these factors are unimportant because people learn their mother tongue naturally. So the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language. Studies have shown that native speakers of Spanish find Portuguese much easier to learn than, say, native speakers of Chinese, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different. So a person's first language affects their learning of a second language. The greater the differences between a second language and the first, the harder it will be for most people to learn. Many Westerners think that Chinese is the hardest language to learn because of its writing system and pronunciation. But for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing is less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.A recent study reported that British embassy staff found that the second hardest language to learn was Japanese. More surprising was the language that they found most problematic-Hungarian. In this case the issue was not the writing system (as both English and Hungarian use a similar alphabet) but grammatical complexity. Hungarian has 35 cases (forms of a noun according to whether it is subject, object, genitive, etc.) and it was this that caused the British diplomatic personnel most difficulty. One suspects they would have even more problems with Tabassaran, a Caucasian language with 48 cases, if they ever had to learn it.Teachers and the circumstances in which a language is learned also play important roles,as does each learner's motivation for learning. If people learn a language because they need to useit professionally, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day-to-day life.Put simply,no language is easy to learn well, though languages which are related to our first language are easier. Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge, but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another. In the end, it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.51. According to the passage, who is likely to have the most difficulty learning a new language?A. A Korean person learning French.B. A Spanish person learning Portuguese.C. A German person learning English.D. A Chinese person learning Japanese.52. Which language do British embassy staff find most difficult to learn?A. Japanese.B. Caucasian.C. Hungarian.D. Tabassaran.53. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor affecting language learning?A. The amount of time spent studying the new language.B. The environment in which language learning takes place.C. The reasons a person has for learning the new language.D. The similarity between a person's first language and the new language.54. Why does the author believe there's no single hardest language?A. All languages are equally difficult to learn well.B. With enough effort, any language can be learned well.C. There is not enough evidence to make any final conclusion.D. People's background and learning situations determine which language is hardest.55. The writer is probably .A. a language learnerB. a language teacherC. a newspaper journalistD. an embassy officialBAttractive fathers do not pass their looks onto their sons but they will hand their good looks down to their daughters, research shows.In a study of family photographs, Professor David Perrett and Elisabeth Cornwell—now at the University of Colorado have found that while both father and mother can influence the attractiveness of their daughters, the couple's good looks do not necessarily contribute to the attractiveness of their son as an adult. Handsome men with masculine(阳刚的) looks are likely to pass on masculine features, but not facial attractiveness.The theory suggests it is not unusual for attractive parents to produce a beautiful daughter while failing to pass on the same good looks to a son.While many celebrity mothers produce beautiful daughters—such as Goldie Hawn and her daughter Kate Hudson or Jerry Hall and her daughter Georgia—the same is not necessarily true of celebrity fathers. Sean Stewart, the son of Rod Stewart and his first wife Alana, would probably be judged less attractive than his model sister Kimberly. "We can't see a strong relationship between the parents' attractiveness and the sons. If the parents are super-models, their daughters will be lookers." Perrett said.Prof Perrett said it has previously been suggested that a woman could increase her own reproductive(繁殖的) success by choosing a good-looking man whose genes would be passed onto male children. But the new study, published in the current edition of the journal Animal Behaviour, disagrees with the theory.He said: "When we looked at women's faces, we found clear evidence that attractiveness passed from both father and mother to daughter. For the male line, we find that facial masculinity follows the rule 'like father-like son'. Masculine dads have masculine sons. But we did not find any evidence that facial attractiveness is passed from father to son."56. Which of the followings is TRUE according to the passage?A. Father and mother can influence the attractiveness of their children.B. Handsome fathers with masculine looks will not pass on masculine features.C. There is a strong relationship between the parents' attractiveness and the daughters.D. If the parents are super-models, their sons will be good-looking.57. What does the word "lookers" in the fourth paragraph most probably mean?A. Onlookers.B. Models.C. Beauties.D. Passersby.58. How many celebrity families are mentioned in the passage?A. Three.B. One.C. Two.D. Four.59. The passage is most likely to be found in a book about .A. popular scienceB. historical eventsC. successful peopleD. political systemsCOnly two countries in the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for a newborn child. Last spring one of the two, Australia, gave up the bad distinction by setting up paid family leave starting in 2011. I wasn't surprised when this didn't make the news here in the United States-we're now the only wealthy country without such a policy.The United States does have one explicit family policy, the Family and Medical Leave Act, passed in 1993. It entitles workers to as much as 12 weeks' unpaid leave for care of a newborn or dealing with a family medical problem. Despite the modesty of the benefit, the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups fought it bitterly, describing it as "government-run personnel management" and a "dangerous precedent(先例)". In fact, every step of the way, as (usually) Democratic leaders have tried to introduce work-family balance measures into the law, business groups have been strongly opposed.As Yale law professor Anne Alstott argues, justifying parental support depends on defining(定义) the family as a social good that, in some sense, society must pay for. Parents are burdened in many ways in their lives: there is "no exit" when it comes to children. Society expects—and needs-parents to provide their children with continuity of care. And society expects—and needs-parents to persist in their roles for 18 years, or longer if needed.While most parents do this out of love, there are public punishments for not providing care. What parents do, in other words, is of deep concern to the state, for the obvious reason that caring for children is not only morally urgent but important to the future of society. To classify parenting as a personal choice for which there is no collective responsibility is not merely to ignore the social benefits of good parenting; really, it is to steal those benefits because they accrue(累积) to the whole of society as today's children become tomorrow's citizens. In fact, by some estimates, the value of parental investments in children, investments of time and money, is equal to 20% 30% of GDP. If these investments bring huge social benefits—as they clearly do-the benefits of providing more social support for the family should be that much clearer.60. What do we learn about paid family leave from Paragraph 1?A. It came as a surprise when Australia adopted the policy.B. Setting up this policy made Australia less influential.C. It has now become a hot topic in the United States.D. No such policy is applied in the United States.61. What makes it hard to take work-family balance measures in the States?A. The incompetence of the Democrats.B. The opposition from business circles.C. The lack of a precedent in American history.D. The existing Family and Medical Leave Act.62. What is Professor Anne Alstott's argument for parental support?A. Children need continuous care.B. Good parenting benefits society.C. The cost of raising children has been growing.D. The U. S. should keep up with other developed countries.63. Why is the author against classifying parenting as a personal choice?A. Parenting is regarded as a moral duty.B. Parenting relies largely on social support.C. Parenting produces huge moral benefits.D. Parenting is basically a social undertaking.四、补全短文（共10小题；共10分）The Tiger is one of the most beautiful creatures in nature and is admired in many A64. cultures such as China and India.The Chinese New Year 2010, which falls65. the fourteenth day of 66. , is the Year of Tiger.It is the third one in the 67.
