A parent’s hopes for 2030

Now my baby has grown into an 13 —tall, strong, stout, and smart, a(n) 14 of Akira

Kurosawa samurai movies.

A 15 from now, in 2030, he will be an adult. I expect the next 10 years to fly by, and be

filled with 16 . As 2020 begins. I am thinking about the kind of world my son will 17 and

experience. I 18 for him, and for all the young people of his age. So I have several 19 for the

world my son and his generation will live in：

I hope we finally get 20 about climate change. Polar ice is melting. The oceans are 21 .

The question is 22 whether we can stop climate change，but whether we ‘re willing and able to

do anything to 23 it.

I’m not sure what a warming planet will 24 for my son's life. I suspect it means he will live

in a world where nations and groups 25 limited resources like clean water and food, which

means that the danger of climate change won't come just from rising oceans, but from other humans

competing for control over what’s 26

humility，recognizing our common humanity(人性）even with people who 29 us.

The Mystery of the Famous Word Collector

One of the greatest contributors to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most

unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for

what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include

every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word

and quotations（引文）showing how it was used.

This was a huge task, so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the

British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds

of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon

who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as

“Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxford.

Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next 17

years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors.

But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit

Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he

found Minor locked in a book-lined room at the Broadmoor Asylum（精神病院）for the

Criminally Insane.

Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to

the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit

Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.

In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to

wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.

Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was

completed. The 12 volumes defined 414, 825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from

a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.

31. According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary________．

A. came out before Minor died

B. was edited by an American volunteer

C. included the English words invented by Murray

D. was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary

32. How did Dr. Minor contribute to the dictionary ?

A. He went to England to work with Murray.
