11、列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。21（6分） There are about 6，500 languages spoken throughout the world，but about half of them are in danger of disappearing.One of the primary causes driving language loss is that support for language communities drastically varies.While some languages are recognized by gov

12、ernments and taught in schools，the majority go unrecognized，unsupported，and untaught，leaving communities ill-equipped to pass their languages on to future generations.Tsakonian，a“dialect(方言)”in Greece，has declined to the point that only 100 speakers remain.When a language disappears，many other thing

13、s can go away as well.For example，parts of a communitys culture，knowledge and identity can also be lost.One organization seeking to save world languages is Wikitongues，which was founded as a school project by Daniel Bogre Udell in 2012，when he began recording short oral histories in New York to expl

14、ore the citys rich cultural diversity with the simple idea:tell me about yourself or your home in your native language.When he posted the videos online，the channel quickly got wide attention.There are currently over 400 languages and dialects represented on Wikitongueschannel and more than 1，500 peo

15、ple from 70 different countries have added videos to it.But thats far from enough.The organization seeks to serve as an Internet resource to keep as many languages as possible alive.Udell believes they can make it happen.“There are many examples of languages that disappeared but later returned to us

16、e.Hebrew went extinct in the 4th century BC，and was revived(恢复)in the 1800s.Now once again，its the mother tongue of half of the worlds Jewish population，”said Udell.1、What can be inferred about Tsakonian in Greece?AIts hard to speak and understand.BIt will definitely die out in the future.CIts not a

17、llowed to speak in Greece.DIt lacks recognition and support.2、What effect may be brought by the extinction of languages?AHarming future generations.BReducing cultural diversity.CPreventing daily communication.DChanging school projects.3、Whats the purpose of Wikitongues?ATo support people in saving t

18、heir languages.BTo revive languages that have disappeared.CTo record enough short oral histories.DTo explore the worlds rich cultures.4、What does Udell want to tell us by giving Hebrew as an example in the last paragraph?AAll extinct languages will be brought back to life.BIts possible to prevent la

19、nguages from dying out.CMore languages will be presented on Wikitongueschannel.DHebrew has become one of the most popular languages in the world.22（8分） The age of adulthood is by definition arbitrary. If everyone matured at the same, fixed rate, it wouldnt be a human process. Indeed, maturation happ

20、ens at varying speeds across different categories within the same individual, so Id say I was easily old enough to vote at 16, but nobody should have given me a credit card until I was 32, and Ive got the county court judgment to prove it.However, we broadly agree that theres a difference between a

21、child and an adult, even if we might argue about the transition point. So the political theorist David Runcimans view that six-year-olds should be allowed to vote goes against any standard argument about the age of civic responsibility. Nobody would say that a six-year-old could be held criminally r

22、esponsible, could be sent to war, could be capable of consent, could be given responsibility for anything. So allowing them the votealong with, unavoidably, seven-year-olds who are even sillier, if anythingis quite an amusing proposal.Runcimans argument is that this is the only way to rebalance poli

23、tical life, which is currently twisted in favor of the old, who dont (he added) ever need to demonstrate mental capacity, even long after theyve lost it.The first part of his case is self-evident: pensions are protected while childrens centers are closed, concepts such as sovereignty(最高权威) are prior

24、itized over the far more urgent business of the future: climate change. Nostalgia(怀念) for a past the young wouldnt even recognize plays a central role, which is completely unfair.Most of the arguments against giving six-year-olds a vote are that children would end up voting for something damaging an

25、d chaotic, if someone made unrealistic promises to them, which could never be realized. Well, its not childrens fault.Having said that, children do tend towards the progressive, having a natural sense of justice (which kicks in at the age of six months, psychologists have shown, by creating scenes o

26、f great unfairness to babies, and making them cry) and an underdeveloped sense of self-interest. My kid, when he was six, made quite a forceful case against private property, on the basis that, since everybody needed a house, they shouldnt cost money, because nobody would want anyone else not to hav

27、e one. Also, food should be free. It was a kind of pre-Marx communism, where you limit the coverage of the market to only those things that you wouldnt mind someone else not having.On that particular day, when we were registered as voters, my kid was quite far to the left of me, but in the normal ru

28、n of things, were united, which brings us to the point of the problem: children obey you on almost nothing, but they do seem to believe in your politics until theyre adolescent. So giving kids the vote is really just a way of giving parents extra votes. And what can stop us having even more children

29、, once theres so much enfranchisement(选举权) in it for us?Now, if parents could be trusted to use their influence wisely, and hammer into children the politics it will take to assure a better future, then I wouldnt necessarily have a problem with that, apart from, obviously, that culture is already wi

30、ldly twisted towards parents, and I can imagine a few non-parents boiling with fierce anger. But thats not worth talking about anyway, because parents cant be trusted, otherwise wed all already vote Green(绿党).In short: no, six-year-olds should not get the vote; but while were here, if any votes come

31、 up in the near future, which will have an impact on the next five decades of British political life, alongside EU migrants, 16-year-olds certainly should be enfranchised.1、The author refers to his age of adulthood to prove that _.Apeople mature at different rates in various aspectsBtheres a common

32、standard for the age of adulthoodCa credit card is more difficult to get than the voteDcertain rights are granted at different stages of life2、People reject David Runcimans proposal because _.Athey dont think a child can grow into adulthood earlierBthey are uncertain whether children can assume resp

33、onsibilityCthey believe children are far from mature in many waysDthey know the age to get the vote is not to be questioned3、What is the base for David Runcimans argument?AA cultural preference for the old.BThe imbalance in political life.CInequalities of opportunity.DPublic ignorance of childrens a

34、bilities.4、The author talks about his kid to indicate that _.Achildren are good-natured and like to help people in needBchildren are simple-minded and can fall for an adults trickCchildren are innocent and dont want to be involved in politicsDchildren are in favor of a just society and tend to be id

35、ealistic5、The author thinks allowing children the vote may lead to _.Atwisted cultureBmisuse of rightsCparents objectionsDunusual maturation6、What is the main point of the passage?AAllowing children the vote is not altogether absurd.BThere is a difference between adults and children.CParents should

36、introduce politics to their children.DThe definition of adulthood is quite controversial.23（8分）Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also c

37、onnect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $ 10 million computer program a

38、t Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “peak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able

39、to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the treesanywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more power

40、ful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs

41、 at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, Here we are in the middle of Virginia and were giving students a window on the world. They can see ev

42、erything and do everything.”1、The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to .Ause for their schoolwork Baccess the InternetCwork at home Dconnect them to libraries2、Which of the following is true about Westlake College?AAll teachers use computers. B1500 students have lap

43、tops.CIt is an old college in America. DStudents there can do everything.3、A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can .Aattend lectures on information technologyBtravel around the worldCget information from around the worldDhave free laptops4、What can we infer from the passa

44、ge?AThe program is successful.BThe program is not workable.CThe program is too expensive.DWe dont know the result of the program yet.24（8分）Theres a curious thing about people.All of us are driven in some way or another to achievewe want to run faster,be more creative,win more awards,and earn more mo

45、ney.But heres the thing: if you want to offer warm words of wisdom,constructive criticism or 360-degree feedback（反馈;反应）,then think again.Most of us would rather not hear it.Our easily-broken egos（自尊心）are partly to blame.We all want to meet our own expectations of ourselves,and so being criticized ca

46、n present a huge threat to our egos.Yet as decades of psychological theory and research have indicated,people have endless tricky strategies(策略) of remaining positive in the face of criticism.For this reason,rather than us welcoming feedback with open arms,our first response is often an automatic de

47、fense.These reactions serve to make us feel better about ourselves.Psychological research exposes this unhealthy appetite for ignorance.In one study,students watched a false educational film about a serious disease called TAA Deficiency.In fact,TAA Deficiency is completely fictional,but the students

48、 were not told this information;instead,they were asked whether they wished to provide a cheek test for assessing（评估）their risk of developing the disease.Half of the students were told that if they ever developed TAA Deficiency,then the treatment would involve them taking a two-week course of pills.

49、Of this group,52% agreed to provide the cheek test.The other half of students learned the treatment would involve taking the pills for the rest of their lives.Of this group,only 21% agreed to the test. These findings show a common pattern seen in other studies within and beyond the context(背景) of he

50、althcare. That is,people are especially resistant to hearing feedback when they believe it could force them to do something difficult or unpleasant.1、What can we infer from paragraph 1?APeople should be satisfied with what they have.BPeople should offer constructive criticism.CPeople should be cauti

51、ous when giving advice.DPeople should care less about others.2、How do people usually react when facing criticism?AThey try to accept it.BThey deal with it seriously.CThey tend to support or protect themselves.DThey turn to psychological theory.3、Why didnt most of the second group agree to the test?A

52、They didnt believe in the result.BThey knew there wasnt such a disease.CThey were sensitive to the negative result.DThey didnt agree with the test.4、What can be the best title for the passage?AMeeting Criticism BRethinking FeedbacksCImproving Healthcare DFighting TAA Deficiency25（10分）Police Force pr
