After all，10 percent of the population spoke GermanWebster thought the language of the American states should be EnglishNot British English but American EnglishThe only problem was that such a language did not yet formally exist. People in different American states used different words，spellings and pronunciationsWebster believed improving childrens education could help build a stronger nationYoung Americans should also learn to use a standard languageSo he decided to write a series of textbooks：a speller，a reader and a grammarWebster published the first book， which came to be called The Blue-Backed Speller，in 1783 The speller immediately became a best sellerSoon it was used in schools in every stateIn 1787 Webster changed the books name to The American Spelling Book. Webster used the money he earned from his speller to begin another project：a dictionaryHe believed Americans needed a dictionary that reflected their own geography，political system and historyHis first version，published in 1806，included about 40，000 wordsHis second，called the American Dictionary of the English Language，included 70，000 wordsWebsters dictionary came to be a symbol of the countrys new national identity21What does the passage mainly tell us?AThe biography of Noah Webster BThe symbol of Americas national identityCThe origin and importance of American EnglishDThe contributions Webster made to American English22Webster wrote a series of textbooks to_.

may help manage Anas busy life?AQuitting all the commitments that she is taking up BAccomplishing every task ahead of schedule CDeveloping other hobbies and interests for a change.DTaking full advantage of intervals between activities CBeing forgiving to yourself and others can protect against stress and the harm it does to mental health，according to a new study in the Journal of Health PsychologyResearchers looked at the effects of lifetime stress on a persons mental health，and how more forgiving people got along compared with people who werent so forgivingTo do this，they asked 148 young adults to fill out questionnaires that assessed their levels of lifetime stress，their tendency to forgive and their mental and physical healthNo surprise，people with greater exposure to stress had worse mental and physical healthBut the researchers also discovered that if people were highly forgiving of both themselves and others，that characteristic alone almost removed the connection between stress and mental illness“Its almost entirely erasedits zero，”says study author Toussaint“If you dont have forgiving tendencies，you feel the immediate effects of stress in a severe wayYou dont have anything to cushion you against that stress”How a forgiving personality protects a person from the influence of severe stress is hard to determineThe researchers infer that people who are more forgiving may adopt better skills to deal with stress，or their reaction to major stressors(压力源)may be slow Though more research is needed to fully understand the benefits of being more forgiving，Toussaint believes“100”that forgiveness can be learnedHis own previous research has shown that saying a short prayer on forgiveness can help people take the edge off. “I think most people want to feel good and forgiveness offers you the opportunity to do that，”he says28The researchers got the effect of forgiving by_Aanalyzing questionnaires Bdoing scientific experimentCwriting research papers Dcommunicating with 148 adults29What can we infer from the passage?AForgiving tendencies can deal with all mental problemsBIt remains unknown why forgiveness helps to reduce stressCToussaints study has fully discovered the benefits of being forgivingDSaying a short prayer on forgiveness is the key to getting rid of stress30What does the underlined phrase“take the edge off”in the last paragraph probably mean?ALook ahead BBecome relaxedCMake up their mindDStick to their goals31What may be the best title for the passage?AA new study on physical healthBForgiving yourself makes you feel good CForgiveness is good for mental healthDGetting rid of stress is good for your health DA fly with an extremely unusual ability to hear is the model for what may be the future of new and improved heating aidsNeal Hall is a sound engineer who worked on the new hearing aid modelHe says the tiny yellow fly living in Central America and the southern United States owns special hearing structureMrHall and his team at the University of Texas made a copy of the flys heating structureThey discovered that the fly has a clever mechanism(机制)that instead of using two independent ears，like a human would，the flys ears are actually coupled The flys cars are two millimeters apartThat distance is so small that sound reaches one ear just four millionths of a second before arriving at the otherExperts say it should be impossible to identify where a sound is coming fromBut inside this fly ear there is a 1.5 millimeters long structure similar to a see-sawa piece of childrens play equipment Like the seesaw，the flys ear structure goes up and down from a central pointPressure waves against the structure increase the time it takes for sound to travel，which permits the fly to identify sound easily MrHall and his team used silicon(硅)to copy the flys ear structureThey also used special electric materials that enable them to measure its movements at the same timeHall says the hearing aid device could be used in two waysOne way would be to help the military on the battle field，where sensors could find where shots are coming fromThe second way would be to remove unwanted noise from a persons surroundings“That is a feature that is incredibly useful for hearing aids，for example，if you turn up the gain of a hearing aid to hear someone across from you，it also expands everything else in the room，”said Hall32Whats the authors purpose of writing the passage?ATo introduce a hearing aid based off the flys ear structureBTo describe a fly with an unusual hearing abilityCTo compare the flys ears with the hearing aidDTo encourage people to protect their hearing 33In which way are humans ears different from the flys ears in structure?AHumans ears are much bigger BHumans ears are coupledCHumans ears are independentDHumans two ears are similar34What helps the fly identify sound easily?AThe strong pressure waves outside.BThe central point inside its two ears CThe special structure like a see-saw inside its earsDThe short distance between the flys two ears35What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about the new hearing aid?AIts shortcoming BIts practical functionCIts main featuresDIts future designs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。Help a local charity without giving a penny Philanthropic(博爱的)efforts do not have
