When the population of the world was hunter-gatherers, small, closely connected groups developed

13、 their own speech different from 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 al

14、so became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of education, especially globalization and better communications in the past few years, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages su

15、ch as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution(分布) of these languages is hugely unbalanced. The general rule is that warm, pleasant areas have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet area

16、s 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 has well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is only 6,000, which means that half the worlds lan

17、guages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. For example, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or

These days, many people worry about food safety. But food safety is not a new worry. In 1906, Upton Sinclair(辛克莱，美国作家) wrote the Jung

21、le. The book is the story of a poor family in Chicago. It is also about the dangerous ways that food was prepared. People were so worried that the U.S. started testing food.These days, most food in the world is safe. Laws control where food comes from. They also control how food is managed and prepa

22、red. Laws are important. But its more important to make sure the rules are followed. A good food safety system(系统)keeps people safe. It also helps them eat healthy food. Labels(标签)on food give people important information. Then they can make good choices about their food.Although food safety systems

23、 usually work, there can be problems. Sometimes mistakes are made. For example, a truck might carry eggs and then ice cream. The ice cream could make people sick when the truck isnt cleaned before carrying it. Other problems are not mistakes. Sometimes companies break rules to make more money. When

24、this happens, people dont know if their food is safe.As we all know, food is closely connected to our daily life. We should take actions to make food safer！1Why did the US start testing the food?ABecause food safety is not a new worry.BBecause food was prepared in dangerous ways.CBecause the people

25、were so worried.DBecause most food in the world isnt safe.2What can people do after reading the information on food labels?AThey can control how food is prepared.BThey can keep food safe.CThey can eat healthy food.DThey can make good choices about food.3When could ice cream make people sick in the e

26、xample?AWhen the truck carries eggs.BWhen the truck is cleaned after carrying eggs.CWhen the truck isnt cleaned before carrying it.DWhen the truck isnt cleaned after carrying it.4What can we learn from Paragraph 3?AFood safety systems usually work, but there can be mistakes.BThe ice cream could make

27、 people sick when the truck isnt cleaned.CSometimes companies break rules to make more money.DAlthough food safety systems usually work, there can be problems.5Whats the best title of the passage?AFood.BFood safety.CFood problems.DTesting food.C15、Who would win in a competition to memorize numbers,

28、a chimp (黑猩猩) or a teenager? The teenager? Think again. Scientists have proved that chimps perform better than human beings when it comes to this kind of problem. We may have to rethink what we believe about human memory. Memory is our ability to learn something, save it and recall it when needed. O

29、ur memories are important to our sense of self, our personalities, and our ability to understand the world. Scientists say that there are different types of memory. There is short-term memory and long-term memory. Your short-term memory saves information for a few seconds or a few minutes. For examp

30、le, the time it takes to compare the prices of a few items in a store. Long-term memory involves the information you try hard to keep, because its meaningful to you (an example is data 数据 about family and friends. ) And then there is visual memory and sound memory. But these are not hard and fast: s

31、cientists argue a lot about the nature of memory. Scientists have also found that people memorize things in different ways. Some memorize better with the help of pictures. Others are helped more by sounds. One things for sure. If you can combine different kinds of memory together, you will remember

32、a lot! So why not try pictures with English words? At the same time listen to recordings of the same group of words. It may help when it comes to memorizing it.Imagination and association can be useful too. By imagination scientists mean picturing a word in your mind. Association means relating the

33、word to something you already know.1What can we learn from Paragraph 1?AHuman beings are less clever than chimps.BHuman memory is not as good as before.CChimps can memorize numbers better than teenagers.DChimps perform better than human beings in many aspects.2How many kinds of memory are mentioned

34、in the article?A2 B3 C4 D53According to the article, which of the following is the best way to memorize words?ABy watching TV.BBy listening to music.CBy writing them out many times.DBy listening and watching pictures.4According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?AMemory is the most impor

35、tant ability for human beings.BLong-term memory usually involves more important things.CScientists have made sure of the nature of memory.DImagination is better than association in memorizing things.5Where do we probably read the passage?AA textbook BA science magazineCAn advertisement DA news repor

But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes?According to a study, half of British people own smartphones and they spend an average(平均) of two hours a day using them. There has been

37、a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from shortsightedness(近视) since smartphones were introduced there in 1997.Staring(盯) at smartphones for long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink(自动眨眼) a certain number of times.

38、However, when you look at things closer to your face, the blinking slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smartphones in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils(瞳孔) become larger, too much

39、 light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma(青光眼).While youre probably not going to stop using to your smartphone, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. Hold your phone at least 30 centimetres away from your eyes when using it. Take a br

40、eak every hour and try the following: look at something at least five meters from you and then focus on the tip of your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.1The last sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means .AThe number of shortsighted people makes up 35% of t

Owning a bicycle was a big deal to our children when they were little. They spent hours and

45、 hours, day after day, on their bicycles, riding up and down the footpath, and at the front of the house. We also rode together as a family a lot. Bicycling was a great way to get the kids out of the house and into the fresh air without spending any money.Bradley had discovered that his bicycle had

46、been stolen from our backyard in Campbelltown, South Australia, when he and his sister went outside for a morning ride. He couldnt believe that someone would do this.He got a large piece of cardboard, painted a sign begging for the bicycle to be returned, and tied the sign to the letterbox. The foll

Weve never been able to thank the person but we suspect(猜想)that it may have be

48、en one of our wonderful neighbors, Bradley painted a big “_!” on the sign and we left it outside for a couple of weeks afterwards, hoping the kind stranger would drive down our street.A delighted Bradley was able to buy a new bicycle. As the years went on, the bicycles became bigger and more expensi

Sometimes I miss the days when receiving a bicycle was the best thing in the world to them.All these years later we are still thankful for the strangers kindness. We were a young family with three little children an

However, unlike rubbish that piles up (堆积) in our environment, if we do not recycle language, we simply forget it. So how do you recycle language

53、?There are basically three ways to do it. The first is through reading. Go back to your favourite articles and read them once more. Just reread them and do not worry about each vocabulary item. If there are some that you are not sure about, make a guess and you will probably guess right. The second

54、way to recycle is through writing. Look at some of your favourite articles and write either a short paragraph or a few sentences in your won words. After you have don this a few times, go back and read through what you have written, checking vocabulary functions. Dont worry if you have made mistakes

55、. Thats how you learn. The third way to recycle language is by having an imaginary chat with yourself about your favourite articles at home. You can pretend there is someone with you who speaks English and tell him what you are thinking about or how you feel.1According to the passage, recycling lang
