But at least one has recently been born, created by children living in a remote village in northern Australia, according to Carmel Oshannessy, a linguist at the University of Michigan. The language, called Light Warlpiri, is spoken only by people under 35 in Lajamanu, a village of about 700 people in northern Australia. In all, about 350 people speak the language as their native tongue. Since many of the first speakers of this language are still alive, Dr. Oshannessy has been able to document a “new” language in the very early period of its existence. Everyone in Lajamanu speaks “strong” Warlpiri, an aboriginal(澳大利亚土著的）language unrelated to English and shared with about 4,000 people in several Australian villages. Many also speak Kriol, an English-based ccreole(混合语) that is widely spoken in northern Australia among aboriginal people of many native languages.Many words in Light Warlpiri originate from English or Kriol. But light Warlpiri is not simply a combination of words from different languages.Dr. Oshannessy offers this example: Nganimpa-ng gen wi-m si-m worm mai naus-ria. (We also saw worms at my house.)It is easy to see nouns come from English. But the -ria ending on aus (house) means “in” or “at,” and it comes from Warlpiri. The -m ending on the verb “si” (see) indicated that event is wither happening now or has happened, a “present or past but not future” tense that does not exist in English or Warlpiri. This is a way of talking so different from either Warlpiri or Kriol that it is considered a new language.The development of the language, Dr. Oshannessy says, began with parents using baby talk with their children in a combination of the three languages. But the children took thay creole as their native tongue by adding some changes, especially in the use of verb structures, which are not present in any of the source languages. “after children created the new system, t has since become a marker of their identity as being young Warlpiri from the Lajamanu Community,” Dr. Oshannessy says.24. What is Dr. Oshannessys main contribution?A. She has preserved aboriginal languages.B. She has worked hard to save dying languages.C. She has helped to popularize English in Australia. D. She has recorded the development of Light Warlpiri.25. What is the common language in Lajamanu?A. Kriol. B. Warlpiri. C.English. D. Light Warlpiri. 26. What makes Light Warlpiri a new language?A. The spelling. B. The grammarC. The Vocabulary D. The pronunciation 27. According to Dr. Oshannessy, Light Warlpiri is helpful in_.A.improving existing languagesB.understanding parent-child communicationC.showing young Warlpiris identityD.achieving unity among the Lajamanu CommunityCWhen I visit Merle, I always head straight to the kitchen. I play with her dog, and get settled at the table while Merle makes cups of tea for us.We talk about anything we can think of: politics, dogs, the weather, and work. Its a ritual that I look forward to days in advance.To an outsider, my visit appears to be simply the typical act of a granddaughter visiting her grandmother. But Merle and I are not related. She is my surrogate grandmother(代理外祖母）.I didnt even realize I was in the market for a new grandparent until I gradually found that the relationship between Merle and I was exactly what I had with my maternal(母性的） grandparents-safe and comfortable.While our relationship developed organically, there are plenty of people who have gone out searching for a grandparent-grandchild relationship.Sydney-based Cate Kloos started “Find a Grandparent” in May 2012, after moving to Australia from Germany. While she enjoyed a close relationship with her grandparents in her native country, she realized her own children would be without their extended family(大家庭). She wanted them to benefit in the same way that she had. Grandparents, she says, offer a different but essential kind of support.“Find a Grandparent” works much like a match-mating service, where young families or individuals can ask for someone to act as a grandparent figure in their life. So far, several hundred families have made connections and spend time doing typical activities -lunch, going to movies and sharing stories.“It is very important to have another person to turn to when they have problems; often grandparents have a different approach to life,” said Kloos.28. How does the author feel about her visit to Merle?A. It is very formal.B. It makes her nervous.C. It gives her great pleasure.D. It is a source of inspiration for her.29. Why did Kloos decide to start “Find a Parent”?A. To honor her grandparents.B. To make people closer to each other.C. To bring warmth to elderly people.D. To enable her kids to get more emotional support.30. What does Kloos stress in the last paragraph?A. The qualities of grandparents.B. The important role of grandparents.C. We should have a positive attitude to life.D. We should spend more time with our family.31. Whats the best title for the text?A. Merle and I B. My role-modelC. Biological or surrogate?D. Finding surrogate grandparents.DMy husband and I are saving thousands of dollars every year by growing our own vegetables in our backyard. We learn something new every year and this website has been made to share tips with other people that would like to grow some of their own food.Its true that if you are starting from fresh, it will cost a little bit of money to get started. However, once everything is set up, the cost is very small and the rewards are huge. The size of your family and how many vegetables you eat determine exactly how much money you can save every year. We do a lot of juicing, so we are saving thousands of dollars by growing some carefully selected greens.There is an amazing sense of accomplishment when you grow your own vegetables. Vegetables out of your vegetable garden dont get any fresher, tastier or more satisfying. The whole family can get involved in this hobby and kids will learn where food comes from and appreciate nature even more.Our approach to vegetable gardening is completely different from the normal one. We are doing it in the lazy way with zero digging and fertilizing(施肥). The way we grow our vegetables is to emulate natural ecosystems. No rows of carrots can be found in our garden beds. Rain forests seem to do just fine without human interference(干预) or having plants sown in rows, so we have applied the same principle to our vegetable garden and we care producing more vegetables than ever.By copying nature we spend little time working in the vegetable garden but get a much better crop than previous years when we followed the rules. What can I say? Were such rebels.(叛逆者）32. What does author think about people growing their own vegetable?A. It is a rewarding activity. B. It is costly in the beginning.C. People should devote many efforts. D. People should share their tips.33. What does the underlined word”emulate” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Create. B. Imitate. C. Preserve D. Improve.34. Why does the author call her and her husband “rebels”? A. They use unconventional ways to grow vegetables.B. They dont buy vegetables from the market. C. They even try to grow vegetables in the rain forests.D. They dont grow ordinary vegetables.35. Which of the following shows the structure of the test? (P:Paragraph)第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。“Thank you” is the most under-appreciated and under-used phrase on the planet. It is appropriate in nearly any situation. 36 Lets cover some common situations where we say all sorts of things, but should say “thank you” instead.1. When you are receiving praise. We often ruin praise by acting overly humble(谦逊的). The problem is that by devaluing the praise, you dont acknowledge the person who was nice enough to say something. 37 2. When you are running late. It is stressful for the person who is running late and it is disrespectful to the person who is waiting. It might seem strange to thank someone for dealing with your late arrival, but thats exactly the correct response. Most people stand in the door and say “Sorry, Im late.” 38 Saying “Thank you” turns the table and acknowledges the sacrifice the other person made by waiting.3. When youre comforting someone. When someone comes to you with the bad news, it can be awkward. You want to be a good friend, but most people dont know what to say. What we fail to realize is that it doesnt matter if you dont know what to say. 39 4. When you are receiving helpful feedback(反馈）. Feedback can be very helpful, but we rarely see it that way. Whether it is an unflattering performance review from your boss or an e-mail from an unhappy customer, the standard reaction is to get defensive(防御性的). 40 A. Thank them for what they did despite your error.B. You can win the argument in the way you live your life.C. Besides, it is a better response than most of the things we say.D. All you really need is to be present and thank them for trusting you.E. The problem is this response still makes the situation embarrassing.F. Simply saying “Thank you” fully acknowledges the person who made the promise.G. Thats a shame because the correct response is to say “Thank you” and use it to improve.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Animals are a great way to combat the struggles experienced by many people suffering from a mental illness, especially depression.Having a pet is a big responsibility but it is 41 these responsibilities that we develop a relationship with the 42.
