24、 Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney will be released November 15th, just in time for the Christmas shopping seasonThe book is titled Cabin Fever and will continue the funny story of middle school kid Greg HeffleyThe story begins with Greg and his friend Rowley being accused of damaging schoo

25、l propertyIt wasnt really their fault, but the authorities dont see it that wayJust when they are about to get caught, the city gets hit by a giant blizzard （暴风雪）This is a good thing, right? Well, not so fast! Greg is now stuck at home with his family and all this gives him a bad case of cabin fever

26、Kinney says that the book is not only about the claustrophobia （幽闭恐怖症） of being stuck at home for days without being able to leave, but also about getting stuck with an identitySometimes we get stuck a certain way when we are young and its hard to change peoples feelings of usThats some pretty deep

32、ct the Japanese are buying faster than others and its popularity has caused an uneasy feeling among many Japanese.That product is foreign words.Gairaigo words that come from outside have been part of the Japanese language for centuries. Mostly borrowed from English and Chinese, these terms are often

33、 changed into forms no longer understood by native speakers. But in the last few years the trickle (涓涓流水) of foreign words has become a flood, and people fear the increasing use of foreign words is making it hard for the Japanese to understand each other and could lead to many people forgetting the

34、good qualities of traditional Japanese. “The popularity of foreign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything new,”says University Lecturer and Writer Takashi Saito.”By using a foreign word you can make a subject seem new, which makes it easier for the media to pick up.”“Experts often study

35、abroad and use English terms when they speak with people in their own fields. Those terms are then included in government white papers,” said Muturo Kai, president of the National Language Research Institute.”Foreign words find their way easily into announcements made to the general public, when the

36、y should really be explained in Japanese.”Against the flow of new words, many Japanese are turning back to the study of their own language. Saitos Japanese to Be Read Aloud is one of many language books that are now flying off booksellers shelves.“We were expecting to sell the books to young people,

37、” said the writer, ”but it turns out they are more popular with the older generation, who seem uneasy about the future of Japanese.”59What advantages do foreign words have over traditional Japanese terms?A.

42、ists of 1100 speciesHowever, the other members of the family all have eyesThe spider is the first one that has no eyesThe scientists believe that the reason for the lack of eyes can be that these spiders spend their entire life inside cavesIn the past they have seen other members of the Huntsman spi

43、ders living in caves with six or less eyesThey believe that the kind of spider has adapted to the fact that they do not really need the eyes to such an extreme measure that they have dispensed with them altogetherBut they are not the only creature to have done thatOver the years, scientists have dis

46、tion to that it is also home to over one hundred species of large mammals ranging from tigers to macaques and over 165 species of amphibians and reptiles like the terrible King cobra and the noisy Tokay gecko, a permanent resident（居民） inside most Laos households63What can we know about the newly dis

47、covered species of spider?AThey are smaller in sizeBThey only live in LaosCThey belong to the Huntsman spiderDAbout 1100 such spiders were discovered64The underlined part dispensed with （in Paragraph 2） means _Adone away with Bput up withCgot tired of Dtaken no notice of65The animals like Saola and
