One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that, with a few important exceptions, mother-tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states. said Neville Alexander, Director of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa at the University of Cape Town. In response to the spread of English and the increased multi-language trends arising from immigration, many countries have introduced language laws in the last decade. In some, the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising posters. One of the first such legal provisions(规定) was the 1994 Toubon law in France, and the idea has been copied in many countries since then. Such efforts to govern language use are often considered as futile by language experts, who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process. It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the purity of a language by law. Since the time of Shakespeare, English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language. English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world, but that has not been a barrier to acquiring superiority and power. Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of the state regulation is that it has never been the Anglo-Saxon way of doing things. English has never had a state-controlled authority for the language, similar, for example, to the Academic Francaise in France. The need to protect national languages is, for most western Europeans, a recent phenomenon- especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields. Public communication, education and new ways of communication promoted by technology, may be key fields to defend.24. Neville Alexander believes that _. A. mother-tongue education is not practiced in all African countries B. globalization has resulted in the economic failure of Africa C. globalization has led to the rise of multi-language trend D. lack of mother-tongue education can lead to economic failure25. The underlined word futile (in paragraph 2) most probably means _. A. workable B. practical C. useless D. unnecessary26. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. English has taken over fields like public communication and education. B. Many aspects of national culture are threatened by the spread of English. C. Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language. D. Europeans have long realized the need to protect a national language.27. The best title for the passage is _. A. Fighting against the rule of English B. Protecting local languages and identitiesC. Globalization and multi-language trend D. To maintain the purity of language by law CGroup exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain(保持) a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, its not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. Its an opportunity to be social, release endorphins（内啡肽）, and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone. Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and dont want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. Its a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision (监管) of a fitness instructor. If youre tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class thatll keep your workout on track. Dont let fitness frighten you! If youre serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, its extremely important to surround yourself with people wholl provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldnt scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldnt expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social! Surrounding yourself with people wholl provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Dont let negativity ruin your motivation.28. The first paragraph focuses on_. A.the greatest challenge of group exercise B.the most effective way to improve physical fitness C.the contribution of group exercise to psychological health D.the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups29.The underlined word upbeat in the second paragraph probably means _.A. cheerful B. average C. serious D. temporal30.When it comes to emotional support, the author thinks it necessary_.A.to sustain a colorful lifestyle B.to party on weekends with positive peopleC.to try a fun healthy restaurant regularly D.to surround yourself with supportive people31.What would be the best title for the passage?资A. Seeking Support B. Supporting HealthC. Improving Your Strength D. Building Up FitnessDLove to sink into your chairs and relax when you get to school? Then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons! Why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty? Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity. While that may seem a little far-fetched (牵强的) the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree.Among them are educators from the College Station Independent School District in Texas, who recently completed a week-long experiment involving 480 students across three elementary schools. The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a device that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period.All 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand. The one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay standing than kids in higher grades. They believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years of being asked to “sit still”, older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.American schools are not the only ones reporting success with stand-up desks. Four Catholic schools in Perth, Australia, which have been testing them since October 2013, have seen similar results. In May 2014, Grove House Primary School in Bradford, West Yorkshire, became Europes first test one, with a seven-week trial that involved the use of desks made by Ergotron in their fifth-grade classrooms. While official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and students, have been extremely encouraging.The findings of these studies and others done previously, all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classrooms is a win-win for students and teachers it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience.32. According to the first paragraph, what may make the students at school unhappy is that _.A. they have to exchange desks with each otherB. they have to exchange traditional desks for ones with no seatsC. there are no seats for them to sit in classD. the officials show no sympathy to them at all33. According to the teachers, older students may not like stand-up desks because _.A. they are cleverer than younger students B. they are easily tired of standing longC. they have formed the habit of sitting D. they do badly in class while standing34. What is most likely to be the result of the seven-week trial? A. The standing desks cant be used at all.B. It is good for students to use stand-up desks.C. More tests should be done in other schools.D. The students are different in personality.35. Why do the teachers like the standing desks? A. Because the educators can draw the students attention.B. Because the teachers can keep the students healthy.C. Because the students can have a walk in the classroom.D. Because the standing desks can keep the students concentrated.第二节（共5小题； 每小题3分， 满分15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。Ways to Free Your Mind When Youre Feeling StuckHave you ever felt like you were racing around in circles without making much forward progress?
