           When Babbage was working at Cambridge, a new idea occurred to him. He wanted to construct a calculating machine to work out the solutions（解法）to maths problems not only with correctness but also with a speed beyond the power of any human mind. His machine could solve problems involving（涉及）long rows of figures in one continuous operation（运算）.

           In 1822 Babbage exhibited his invention and won a prize from the government. After that, he immediately started to work on a larger machine designed to solve more difficult problems. Although he received some money left by his father, the money was not enough to support his design. He wrote to the government about his plan and was given ￡2500 to start with, a sum worth much more in those days than it is now.

           Babbage continued his work in London for four years. Then his health broke down, and he had to take a long holiday abroad. When he returned to London in 1828, he was at the end of his resources. Many bills remained unpaid. His chief assistant and co-workers quarreled with him and left with many expensive tools. For one year no work was done. During this period, Babbage, whose mind was always active, suddenly thought of a completely new idea for the machine. He rushed to meet the government officials to explain his new idea. But this time, they were unwilling to help him. For eight years, they refused to say whether they wanted the machine or not, and their final answer was “No.”

           From 1828 to 1839, Babbage held the position of professor at Cambridge very successfully. But his greatest work was the unfinished calculating machine which stood covered in dust in his house. It was the beginning of the modern computer.

    60．The machine Babbage designed would solve difficult maths problems _________.

          A．in one operation with few mistakes

           B．in more than one operation without any mistakes

           C．in more than one operation with slight mistakes

           D．in one operation without any mistakes

    61．Babbage failed to continue his research work in 1828 mainly because _______.

          A．he was in poor health    B．he almost ran out of money

           C．his co-workers argued with him         D．he spent all his money on his bills

    62．Babage explained his new idea to the government officials, expecting that _________.

          A．they would agree to his plan    B．they would pay for his new idea

           C．they would support him with money   D．they would exhibit his new design

    63．From the passage, we can infer that __________.

          A．Babbage failed to be a famous scientist at Cambridge

           B．Babbage always had new ideas but gave them up easily

           C．Babbage always needed support from the government officials

           D．Babbage was the first designer of the modern computer

    Language is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the language does not change, either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.
    There are several major language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language About 3 percent of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.
