Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes were not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves.”The eight-part series (系列节目), Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITVs Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week.

When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.28. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?A. They developed very fast.B. They were large in number.C. They had similar patterns.D. They were closely connected.29. Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Complex.B. Advanced.C. Powerful.D. Modern.30. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?A. About 6,800.B. About 3,400.C. About 2,400.D. About 1,200.31. What is the main idea of the text?A. New languages will be created.B. Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.C. Human development results in fewer languages.D. Geography determines language evolution.解析:本文主要讲的是随着人类的发展,语言的种类却越来越少,很多语言已经灭绝或者濒临灭绝,这是全球化和工业化带来的副作用需要引起我们的重视。28. B. 推理判断题。本题的答案主要出自第一段,只要认真研读,进行简单的排除,答案不难选出。Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.这句话是答案的出处。29. C.词义猜测题。词语出自第二段。Dominant这个词应该是比较常见的,只要考生平时注意词汇积累这个词应该能认识,所以我们在平时的英语学习中一定要注意词汇的积累。假如不认识的话,后边的例子中例举了English, Spanish and Chinese 还有词组take over 这些线索都可以帮助我们来猜测词义。30. B 推理判断题。答案出自第三段 The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.结合前面的At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. 这两句话就可以把答案推出来,6800 和half 是关键词。31. C. 主旨大意题。本篇文章结构清晰,第一段是总领全文,提出观点in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going。第二段是解释原因,第三段是对现状的介绍,第四段是举例子。所以答案很容易选出。本篇文章考生可以注意出题人的出题范围,前三题分别出自前三段,第四题是对全文的考查,这也是出题人出题的一个暗含的线索,考生应该多加关注。DWe may think were a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices (装置) well after they go out of style. Thats bad news for the environment and our wallets as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.As we accumulated more devices, however, we didnt throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. Were not just keeping these old devices we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitts team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (排放) more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.So whats the solution (解决方案)? The teams data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.32. What does the author think of new devices?A. They are environment-friendly.B. They are no better than the old.C. They cost more to use at home.D. They go out of style quickly. 33. Why did Babbitts team conduct the research?A. To reduce the cost of minerals. B. To test the life cycle of a product.C. To update consumers on new technology.D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.34. Which of the following uses the least energy?A. The box-set TV.B. The tablet.C. The LCD TV.D. The desktop computer.35. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?A. Stop using them.B. Take them apart. C. Upgrade them.D. Recycle them. 解析:本文主要讲的是一些电子设备并没有因为过时而寿终正寝,相反很多设备还正在被使用,这不仅会消耗更多的能源还会污染环境。32. A. 推理判断题。考查第一段。找准题目关键词new devices,文章中原句Thats bad news for the environment and our wallets这是过时设备的一些害处,那么我们可以反推它的反面应该就是新设备的好处,所以答案选择A. 33. D. 细节理解题。答案出自第二段。第二段原句tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life.和这句话意思最相近的就是答案D.34. B. 细节理解题。答案出自第四段。选项中出现的集中设备密集出现在两处,一处是第二段,还有一处是第四段。其中第二段主要讲的是各种设备进入到家庭的时间,不涉及到各种设备能耗的对比,所以不能作为选择的依据。所以答案应该在第四段,They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.这句话可以帮助得出答案是tablets。35. A. 推理判断题。答案在第四段。文章第三段主要讲的是使用旧的设备的危害,结合34题和but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function我们可以得出答案是stop using. C选型是容易误选选项,upgrade 这个词的意思要把握准,upgrade可能是在原有设备基础之上进行升级,这是文章中没有提及的所以不能选。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。Color is fundamental in home design something youll always have in every room. A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms youll love to live in. Do you want a room thats full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? 36 , color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. 37 , they can get a little complex. But good news is that therere really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones. 38 . Theyre the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable. Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. 39 . They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether youre looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant. 40 .A. While all of them are useful B. Whatever youre looking forC. If youre experimenting with a colorD. Small color choices are the ones were most familiar withE. Its not really a good idea to use too many small color piecesF. So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first timeG. Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways解析:本篇文章主要讲的是在家装设计方面颜色的作用,并从大、中和小三个层面介绍了每种类型的定义和如何选择。36. B.段中句。从形式上看设空处后是逗号;从内容上看考查的主要是段中句的承上启下。空前给了很多种家装风格的选择,空后color is the key to making,这中间缺少一个过渡,根据意思答案比较容易得出Whatever youre looking for,通过让步来强调后半句内容。37. A. 段中句。本处后面也是逗号和上一题有共同之处。前面的话there have been a number of different techniques to和后面的they can get a little complex,中间很明显缺少一个转折,所以答案得出A。36和37题考察的都不是一个完整的句子,此类题目会有更强的关联性和逻辑性,所以考生遇到此种类型的题要特别关注关键信息,理清其中的逻辑关系。38. D.段首句。本处承接上一段的内容therere really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home:the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones后面的两段讲的是the medium ones, and the large ones,所以此处应是the small ones.39. G.段中句。本处的前面一句话是medium ones的定义,后面的话是medium和small的比较。通过比较选项,发现只有选择G项才可以帮助过渡。F. 段尾句。本段的中心是the large ones,前面的Whether youre looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant这句话强调的是后半句的time,effort和expense,这和F 选项的it pays to be sure有很强的因果关系,所以选出答案。第一节 (共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。During my second year at the city college, I was told that the education department was offering a “free” course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits. I 41 the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesnt want to 42 a few dollars? More than that, Id always wanted to learn chess. And, even if I werent 43 enough about free credits, news about our 44 was appealing enough to me. He was an international grandmaster, which 45 I would be learning from one of the games 46 . I could hardly wait to 47 him.Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this 48 was no game for him; he meant business. In his introduction, he made it 49 that our credits would be hard-earned. In order to 50 the class, among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to 51 what we would learn in class to our future professions and, 52 , to our lives. I managed to get an A in that 53 and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the 54 .Ten years after my chess class with Ashley, Im still putting to use what he 55 me: “The absolute most important 56 that you learn when you play chess is how to make good 57 . On every single move you have to 58 a situation, process what your opponent (对手) is doing and 59 the best move from among all your options.” These words still ring true today in my 60 as a journalist. 41.
