27、Manhattans Chinatown. He has lived and worked there for all his 61 years. But as Wee Wong walks the neighborhood these days, he cannot understand half the Chinese conversations he hears. “I cant even order food on East Broadway,” he said, “they dont speak English; I dont speak Putonghua. Im just as

28、lost as everyone else.” Cantonese, a dialect from southern China that has dominated the Chinatowns of North America for decades, is being rapidly swept aside by Mandarin, the national language of China and the lingua franca of most of the latest Chinese immigrants.The change can be heard in the neig

29、hborhoods lively restaurants and solemn church services, in parks, street markets and language schools. It has been accelerated by Chinese-American parents, including many who speak Cantonese at home, as they urge their children to learn Putonghua for the advantages it could bring as Chinas influenc

30、e grows in the world. But the eclipse (黯然失色) of Cantonese in New York, China and around the world has become a challenge for older people who speak only that dialect and face increasing isolation unless they learn Putonghua or English. Though Cantonese and Putonghua share nearly all the same written

31、 characters, the pronunciations are vastly different; when spoken, Putonghua may be incomprehensible (不可理解的) to a Cantonese speaker.With Putonghuas popularity has come a reorganization of power in Chinese-American communities, where the recent immigrants are gaining economic and political power, sai

32、d Peter Kwong, a professor of Asian-American studies at Hunter College.“The fact of the matter is that you have a whole generation switch, with very few people speaking only Cantonese,” he said. The Cantonese-speaking populace(人口), he added, “is not the player anymore.” The switch mirrors a big chan

33、ge under way in China.56. According to the first paragraph, Wee Wong _. A. is very fond of Putonghua B. is lost on East Broadway C. cant understand Chinese at all D. can speak both English and Cantonese57. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to _. A.

35、ference will Putonghuas popularity make?A. Few people would like to learn Cantonese.B. More and more Americans begin to learn Putonghua.C. New immigrants influence is becoming significant.D. Putonghua will become the most widely used language in the world.60. The underlined word “isolation” in Parag

36、raph 3 probably means _.A. loneliness B. competition C. change D. choiceBThe furred or hairy sea mammals such as seals have a variety of interesting adaptations that permit them to spend a long time under water, sometimes at considerable depths. However, they rise frequently to breathe and emerge fr

37、om the ocean to sleep and relax on a sandy beach, rock, floating ice or snow cave above the water. Diving tends to be used for hunting purposes. The situation is less clear for whales, sea cows and manatees. The whales evolved from land animals that returned to the sea millions of years ago. Though

38、whales come to the surface to breathe air into their lungs, they can spend a remarkably long time between breaths, up to an hour in some species, and spend nearly all their lives under water. However, whales learned to hold their breath so well that they lost their involuntary breathing mechanism (无

39、意识的呼吸功能) and must be conscious to continue to breathe. Not only will a reflex (本能反应)have to take care of breathing, it will have to take them to the surface for air. Also, the blow hole (鲸头顶的呼吸孔) automatically closes and must be opened voluntarily by the whale. Whales would drown if they fell asleep

40、 or were knocked unconscious. They must think about each breath. It cannot have an unconscious sleep as we know it. “There are theories that the whale has the ability to rest half of the brain and control breathing functions with the other half, but they are just theories.” Said Mr. Walsh, director

41、of marine mammal training at the Aquarium for Wildlife Conservation in Coney Island, Brooklyn. Sea cows and manatees tend to live in warm, calm, shallow, vegetation-rich waters where they can float lazily at or near the surface. They do not expend much energy to control body temperature and require

42、little oxygen. They may sleep or rest supported by the bottom of their body. When they hold their breath, large blubber deposits and natural buoyancy (鲸脂层和自然浮力) let them float at the surface and engage in a resting behavior, though not an unconscious sleep.61. What is the passage mainly about? A. Oc

43、ean animals hunting skills. B. Typical endangered ocean animals. C. How sea mammals sleep. D. How animals float.62. Which of the following animals can have a deep sleep? A. Seals. B. Whales C.

44、y not sleep at allC. breathe in waterD. can have an unconscious sleep64. Mr. Walshs attitude towards the saying that the whale has the ability to rest half of the brain is _. A. curious B. positive C. doubtful D. opposed65. According to the last paragraph, sea cows _. A. should think about each brea

45、th B. will choke if they fall asleep C. usually sleep in deep water D. mainly live at or near the surfaceCA tall Irish American Greg Quinn walks into your office, puts a drinking glass on the desk, and pours out a cup of a deep-purple juice from currants (醋栗).“This stuff used to be illegal,” he says

46、. “Were the guys who got the law changed.

The ban on planting currants was lifted(解禁) in 1966, but as of

47、the 21st century, 12 states still had restrictions. Among them was New York.Quinn went to New York and began knocking on doors. He returned once a week, walking the halls, leaving his business cards, and begging for appointments. But he made little headway（进展）until one day, a Wall Street Journal rep

48、orter interviewed him for a story. Six months later, a law was passed, allowing currant farming.Quinn ordered seedlings(幼苗) from Canada and started planting. Because of its strong, sharp smell, the black currant was nearly always processed rather than eaten as a fruit. Juice seemed like the best opt

49、ion for reaching the most customers.Quinn started importing black currant juice to kick-start the market. Working with New Zealand growers, he combined varieties to develop a bottled juice called Currant C. Now into its fourth year, Currant C is making money. Down the road, Quinn would like to look

50、deeper into all the health benefits of the black currant. “Its a super-fruit,” he says. “Ive got to keep spreading the word here. Its just too good to keep it a secret.66.
