(D) Most new people were born in developing countries. These countries are found in much of Africa, South America and some parts of Asia. In the developed countries of Europe and North America, the population is growing very slowly. This is because women in these countries have, on average, only one or two children. In the developing countries, many women have five or more children. In 1950, around one quarter of the world’s population lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be home to only around one tenth of the world’s people. In the developing countries, more than one billion people are still living below the poverty(贫困)line. These people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing. Children get little time at school and people suffer from many kinds of diseases. At the beginning of the 21st century, the world’s population was around six billion people. The U.N. has said that the world’s population will level off at 12.5 billion by the year 2100. Other groups think the world’s population will continue to grow, reaching 14 billion before it becomes stable, or even falls. 根据短文内容.回答下列问题. 46. In what areas of the world can developing countries be found? 47. In 1950, what percent of the world’s population lived in developing countries? 48. How can we describe the people who are living below the poverty line? 49. There will be twelve and a half billion people on the earth in 2100, won’t there? 50. 将文中画线部分翻译成汉语. Ⅴ. 词汇.

    Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, you can improve it if you are patient. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take action. You must first go where there are people. You won't make friends staying home a       .

    Joining a club or a group, talking to those who like the same things as you do is much e     . Or join someone in some activities.

    Many people are n     when talking to new people. After all, meeting strangers means seeing  the unknown. And it's human nature to feel a bit unpleasant about the unknown. Most of fears about d      . with new people come from doubts(怀疑) about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us-finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don't forget that they must be feeling the s      way. Try to accept yourself as you are, and try to make others feel at home.  You'll all feel more c      .

    Try to be brave even if you don't feel that way when you e    a room full of strangers. Walk  tall and straight, look d     at other people and smile.

    If you see someone you'd like to speak to, say something. Don't w      for the other person to start a conversation(对话).

Just meeting someone new does not mean that you'll make friends with that person. Friendship is based on mutual(相互的)likings and“give and take”.It takes time and effort(精力)for us to d     friendship. And there are things that stop a new friendship from growing.

阅读下面材料,根据材料内容从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。
       The first person who'd sent emails was an American friend who was in a big company. Some years ago,
when this method of communication first came into business life, his company in New York and its satellites
across the earth were among the first to get it.
        One evening in New York, the American friend was late for a drink we'd arranged (安排). "Sorry," he
said, "I've been away and had to deal with 998 emails." "Wow," I said, "I'm really surprised you made it before
midnight." "It doesn't really take that long," he explained, "if you simply delete (删除) them all."
        The friend had developed his own way on dealing with emails before most of us heard of emails. If any
information he got was very important, his no reply would make the sender ring him up. If the sender wasn't
important enough to have his phone number, the communication couldn't be important enough.
        Almost every week now, we have to spend lots of time in dealing with emails. But if this happens, it's only
because we haven't developed the same thing in dealing with emails as we do with post. Have you ever regarded
an important letter as a piece of advertisement and thrown it out? Of course you haven't. Junk (垃圾) email
looks unnecessary to read. But I cannot understand why so many people would like to open emails which come
from this kind of address such as SPECIALOFFER@junk.com.
         Dealing with emails is an art. Firstly, you delete anything from any address you don't know. Secondly, not
all the emails have to be answered. Thirdly, a reply email doesn't have to be the same length as the original (原始
的).
1. Why was the friend late for the drink that evening?
[     ]
A. Because he had a lot of work to do.
B. Because he had to deal with quite a lot of emails.
C. Because he had to finish his work before midnight.
D. Because he had to delete quite a lot of emails.
2. What is the American friend's opinion on e-mails?
[     ]
A. He would get all the important information whether he replied the emails or not.
B. He would only reply the emails whose sender had his phone number.
C. He would only reply the important emails.
D. He thought communication through the phone would be better than through the emails.
3. Which of the statement is true according to the writer?
[     ]
A. All the emails should be answered.
B. A reply email should be the same length as the original.
C. To find an important letter among the advertisements is easier than to find an important e-mail among the 
    junk emails.
D. Most of people would hardly open the emails from the address they don't know.
4. The best title for the passage is "_______________".
[     ]
A. Emails
B. An American friend invented emails
C. Emails changed our life
D. How to deal with emails

English words do not stay the same. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Different words come into use, or older words are used in a new way.

    English can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word "tomato" was borrowed from Mexico, and "tea" came from China and so on. Now new space and science  words are being borrowed from  other countries, too. New words are formed by adding two words together. "weekend" and "cookbook" are made up of two parts. Sometimes new words   are shorter forms of older words. The word "photo" was made from "photograph" by cutting    off  the end of the longer word. "Plane" was made by cutting off the front part of "airplane".  The names of people and products can become new words. Our "sandwich" was named after     a man. "Sandwich" and "Sello" was a name given by the company that first made the product.

How old is “old”? The answer has changed over the years. Two Hundred years ago, you were old at 35. At the beginning of the 20th century, the average life span (平均寿命) was 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old. Today, a healthy 70-year-old is still thought young.

          So, how old is “old”? The answer is one you’ve heard many times, from all kinds of people. “You are as old (or young) as you feel.” Your age simply tells you how many years you have lived. Your body tells you how well you’ve lived.

         “Nobody grows old by living a number of years,” wrote a writer. “People grow old when they don’t have their ideals (理想).” People shouldn’t have the wrong ideas about aging. Sometimes, older minds can be as bright as young minds. Alice Brophy once said, “It makes me unhappy when people say, ‘You look young for your age.’ What does that mean? You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80.”
