13、There are about 6,000 languages that are spoken around the world. But 43 percent of these languages are dying out, according to UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization，联合国教科文组织).If no action is taken，some of these languages will become extinct (灭绝的).

Languages become endangered for many reasons. One is that some communities of native speakers of the endangered languages no longer exist (存在)，HuffPost reported. These people leave their communities and move to cities or towns.

In addition，the languages of “dominant (占主导地位的）” cultures may drive other languages into extinction. To get better education and jobs, young people have to focus their attention on learning dominant languages rather than their own languages. Dominant languages include English，French and Mandarin (普通话).

Once a language dies, it rarely conies back to life. Governments across the globe are taking action to prevent this.

In September, the US state of Alaska announced that the loss of indigenous (土著的）languages was an“emergency”(紧急事件). It is now working to give new life to such languages, Quartz reported.

In New Zealand，the government has said it wants over 20 percen t of the country’s population to be able to speak Maori, an indigenous language, by 2040. It plans to provide Maori lessons in all New Zealand schools by 2025, The New York Times reported.

China is also trying to protect its languages. About 130 languages are spoken in China, even more than the number of ethnic groups in the country. In 2015, the government started a project to record all the languages spoken in China, Xinhua reported. Universities like Minzu University of China have created minority language majors (专业）for their students.

1．How many languages worldwide are in danger of dying out?

A．About 2,580 languages. B．About 3,420 languages.

C．About 4,300 languages. D．About 6,000 languages.

2．According to the story, why might a language go extinct?

A．Because no one wants to speak it.

B．Because it is too difficult to learn.

C．Because it is used less in daily life.

D．Because schools don5t offer lessons for it

3．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．The learning of dominant languages.

B．The extinction of languages.

C．Action taken to save the languages.

D．The movement of giving new life to the languages.

4．What do we know from the last two paragraphs?

A．All languages are disappearing in New Zealand.

B．Maori lessons are already offered in all of the schools in New Zealand.

C．130 languages are endangered in China.

D．Making recordings is a way to protect languages.

5．Which is the best title of the passage?

A．Losing our languages B．The importance of English

14、What will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.

Let us take an example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on the average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively (相对地) short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller.

Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity (容量.) As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too. The head, especially the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are being used too much. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.

On the other hand, we tend (有…的趋势) to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive (敏感的) because they are used a great deal in modern life.

What about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both men and women are probably to be hairless!

Perhaps, all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive (有吸引力的) person to look at! This may well be true. All the same, besides these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be

a human being, with thoughts and feelings similar to our own.

1．Future man is probably to be different from us in ________ ways.

A．two B．three C．four D．five

2．Future man’s head will grow larger because ________.

A．he will use his brain more and more as time goes on

B．he makes use only 80% of the brain's capacity

C．the other 80% of his brain will grow faster

D．his brain has grown larger over the past centuries

3．What will be probably TRUE about the man in the future?

A．He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.

B．His fingers will grow weaker because he won't use them.

C．He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.

D．He will think and feel in a different way.

4．What does the writer write the article for?

A．To give us some knowledge of future man.

B．To show that man's life will be different in the future.

C．To let us know future man will become shorter.

D．To tell us future man will not use legs.

15、Summer vacations should be relaxed for students. However, many of them use the opportunity to take part in summer project.

Xu Dan,a 15-year-old girl , loves vacations because it means she can spend more time volunteering. She believes that volunteering has cts instead. changed her life and made her a better person.

Two years ago, Xu was a shy girl. One day, she saw a group of volunteers picking up trash in the street. Since she had no plans for the summer vacation and wanted to make some friends, she decided to join them.

“I used to think volunteering was nothing mor e than picking up trash. Now I know that the aim of volunteer work is helping others and gaining self-esteem(自尊),”Xu says. Her volunteering schedule is full: teaching migration workers’(外来务工人员) children English from Mondays to Fridays, picking up trash on Saturdays, and visiting old

people on Sundays.

For Xu, visiting old people is the most meanful activity. “I help them clean their homes and cut their hair. I talk to them and listen to their life stories. These are just small things, but every time I help others I feel more confident about myself,” Xu says.

According to Xu, the positive energy(正能量) from volunteering influences the way she deals with people and sees the world. “I can see things from other people’s point of view and look at things more positively. I think I’m going to hold on to it all my life.” she says.

16、C

What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is it the same all over the world? That’s an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. Well, maybe. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource(资源). Maybe that’s why they like the expression, “Time is money.”

Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to keep and manage it. People in the US often attend meetings or read books on time management. It seems that they all want to organize their time better. People try their best to press more life out of their time.

To Americans, being on time is a way of showing respect(尊重) for other people’s time. Being more than 10 minutes late usually calls for an apology(道歉) and an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know that they can’t be on time. Of course, the less formal(正式的) the situation is, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes late. But they usually don’t try that at work.

American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks before it. Once the time is fixed, it is almost impossible to change it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will just “drop by” unannounced. Also, people seldom call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may be different, but most people think twice about calling after 10:00 pm.

Even Americans would agree that no one can master time. Time, like money, slips all too easily through our finger. And time, like the weather, is very hard to predict. However, time is one of life’s most valuable gifts.

1．From Paragraph 1, we can learn that ___________.

A．Americans waste lots of money and time

B．people can only control 60 minutes a day

C．Americans regard time as something valuable

D．money is more important than time in America

2．In Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4, the writer mainly tells us that ___________.

A．Americans respect others’ time in daily life B．Americans never call after ten o’clock

C．Americans visit friends without calling first D．Americans arrive days before an event 3．The underlined phrase “think twice” probably means “___________”.

A．pay attention B．learn wisely C．feel relaxed D．consider carefully 4．According to this passage, ___________.

A．most American people treasure their time

B．people can master and predict time easily

C．Americans like time better than anything else

D．people are supposed to be on time in all situations

5．This passage mainly talks about ___________.

A．some of the American lifestyles B．how Americans treat time

C．all kinds of ways to spend time D．different opinions about time

18、Tony, 18. a member of an anti-tobacco(反烟草)group, he says, “Kids feel that everyone around them smokes.” Tony wants kids to realize that most people don’t smoke. He also wants to tell them that smoking doesn’t make one look cool. Two national studies show that teenage smoking is down. Still, there is work to be done.

Smoking is an unhealthy habit. It can cause heart disease, lung cancer and other serious illnesses. Just being around cigarette smoke can make you sick.

In the 1990s, all 50 states went to court to fight tobacco companies. The states won money from the companies. It helps to pay for anti-smoking groups, but the money is not enough.

Each day, about 4,000 kids light up for the first time. “We have to do a better job of stopping kids from smoking,” says Husten. Ads that tell ugly facts about smoking help to change minds. Setting smoke-free areas in public places works too. Just this month, a California townbannedsmoking in all public places, such as schools, shopping malls and libraries.

19、I have a happy family but my parents are very strict with me, and they have made some basic rules which

I must obey. Firstly,I cannot play games on the computer or on the mobile phone, even in my free time or on weekends.Secondly,I have to do some housework, such as making the bed and tidying my bedroom and so on.Thirdly,I must finish my homework in time. If I break one of them, I will be punished．But thanks to these rules, I can live a healthy and successful life.
