10、a relatively short life span as well as a very high death rate. Only a few, including Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, Latin, have lasted more than 2,000 years.What is new, however, is the speed at which they are dying out. Europes colonial conquests caused a sharp decline in linguistic diversity, eliminat

11、ing at least 15 percent of all languages spoken at the time. Over the last 300 years, Europe has lost a dozen, and Australia has only 20 left of the 250 spoken at the end of the 18th century.The rise of nation-states has also been decisive in selecting and consolidating national languages and sideli

12、ning others. By making great efforts to establish an official language in education, the media and the civil service, national governments have deliberately tried to eliminate minority languages.This process of linguistic standardization has been boosted by industrialization and scientific progress,

13、 which have imposed new methods of communication that are swift, straightforward and practical. Language diversity came to be seen as an obstacle to trade and the spread of knowledge. Monolingualism became an ideal.More recently, the internationalization of financial markets, the spread of informati

14、on by electronic media and other aspects of globalization have intensified the threat to “small” languages. A language not on the Internet is a language that “no longer exists in the modern world. It is out of the game.The serious effects of the death of languages are evident. First of all, it is po

15、ssible that if we all ended up speaking the same language, our brains would lose some of their natural capacity for linguistic inventiveness. We would never be able to figure out the origins of human language or resolve the mystery of the first language. As each language dies, a chapter of human his

16、tory closes.Multilingualism is the most accurate reflection of multiculturalism. The destruction of the first will inevitably lead to the loss of the second. Imposing a language without any links to a peoples culture and way of life stifles the expression of their collective genius. A language is no

17、t only used for the main instrument of human communication. It also expresses the world vision of those who speak it, their ways of using knowledge. To safeguard languages is an urgent matter.1、Which of the following does not contribute to the death of languages?AColonial conquests of EuropeBThe boo

18、m of human populationCAdvances in science and industrializationDThe rise of nation-states2、The underlined word “stifles” in the last paragraph probably means .AboostsBfuelsCimposesDkills3、The serious effects of the death of languages include all except that .APeople would fail to understand how lang

19、uages originatedBLanguage diversity would become an obstacle to globalizationCMonolingualism would lead to the loss of multiculturalismDHuman brains would become less creative linguistically4、What is the authors purpose of writing this passage?ATo explain the reasons why languages are dying out.BTo

20、warn people of the negative aspects of globalization.CTo call peoples attention to the urgency of language preservation.DTo argue how important it is for people to speak more languages.22（8分）Ever since his applauded first novel, Kazuo Ishiguro, now 60, has managed to maintain a steady literary drive

21、, a steady amount of creative space, and a steady success rate. The Buried Giant, Ishiguros seventh novel, and his first in a decade, is as risky as it is attractive. It is a sort historical fantasy novel filled with dragons and knights (骑士）丨It is a sort of the surface, but it is also deeply human,

22、rooted in themes fundamental to the human experience: love, history, and the ability to remember it all.JANE GAYDUK: How would you cope with the idea of memorya huge theme in The Buried Giant if you were to set a story like that in the age where everything is online?KAZUO ISHIGURO: One of the questi

23、ons that attract me right nowI suppose these are questions that arose in my mind as I was writing The Buried Giant, but there was no room in the book itself for exploring themwould be, where do the memory banks in a modem society exist? And I think that question has gotten really complicated now. Ma

24、ybe in simpler societies such as the one I describe in The Buried Giant I dont think those societies were simple but perhaps they were simpler in terms of this particular questionyou could point to your living memory, what the oldest people still remember about what happened, literally what is hande

25、d down.JANE GAYDUK: Do you think this changes the nature of history? It used to be written down by a select few people who bad the power to shape stories, but now its almost like every individual participates in shaping history and thought.KAZUO ISHIGURO: If you leave the official account of a natio

26、ns history, a communitys history, to just a handful of people, I think thats a more dangerous situation. Particularly if its a handful of people, who are usually the upper levels, who could write the history books and then have those history books taught in schools. Of course skilled, disciplined, a

27、nd talented historians have always been vital to a society, and I think theyll continue to be vital to a society, but in some ways I feel encouraged by the fact that so many ordinary people now have the ability to put down their impressions; at least theres the potential that their voices will be as

28、sessed and heard.Just as an example, when I was researching The Remains of the Day, which is about an English butler (管家），I assumed Id find a lot of accounts by people who had worked in service because thats what an enormous proportion of people in Britain did between the First and Second World War.

29、 And I was amazed to find almost . There were scholarly books written by academics about the history of boilers, hut actual personal accounts written by people like that were almost zero. I guess its because people of that class didnt feel it was their place to write things down, and they probably d

30、idnt have the tools or the time, or perhaps the education even to write things down, and so considerable human experience disappeared. I think there is something encouraging about people being able to record things everywhere, but with such a massive amount of data, there need to be very complicated

31、 means of controlling it and deciding which becomes the things that determine the way we remember what we experienced.JANE GAYDUK: On the topic of finishing books, did you write past the official ending of The Buried Giant or was that your natural end? I felt the conclusion was kind of a cliffhanger

32、.KAZUO ISHICURO: I dont really think of the ending as a cliffhanger, but maybe its more ambiguous than I intended. That is the ending I always wanted, though. With all my books, Im aiming for a certain emotion to come over with the book as a whole and usually that is the emotion ending should delive

33、r. I cant deliver that emotion in an earned, proper way unless the rest of the book has worked, so Im always very aware that the ending is not something I add when the story is finished. For me, the ending for all my books is the arrival point; its what Ive been aiming at all along.1、Ishiguro didnt

34、discuss “the memory banks” in his novel because .Ahe wrote the novel in the digital eraBthe novel is not centered on memoryCthere is no space to talk about it in the bookDhe doesnt think the society in the novel is simple2、Why does Kazuo admire ordinary individuals participation in shaping history?A

35、Because their recorded history will be taught in schools.BBecause they can make up their own history.CBecause ordinary people are important to society.DBecause history can be viewed from various angles.3、Which expression can be put in the gap in paragraph 4?Asomething interesting Bhistorical details

36、Csome famous figures Da complete blank4、The underlined word “cliffhanger probably refers to a(n) _ ending.Aabrupt BnormalCunfinished. Dloose5、It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .AIshguro doesnt like the ending of The Buried GiantBIshguro has a clear goal before writing the endingCIshgur

37、o adds an emotional ending on purposeDIshguro doesnt care about the ending at all23（8分） A new keyboard can tell whether you are its owner. The keyboard records information about the typing pattern（模式）and sends it to a computer program. The program then checks to see if the pattern matches the right

38、user. If not, an alarm sounds, and the computer locks the typist out. It locks out everyone else, even if the person knows the password. Whats more, this equipment needs no batteries. It collects all the energy it needs from your actions of typing. Besides, the keyboard is also self-cleaning and the

39、 keys are free of damage from water, oil and dirt. The keys of the new keyboard are made of the same inexpensive plastic that might be found on any other standard keyboard. But instead of being smooth, the keys have millions of tiny plastic nanowires（纳米线）on their surface area, increasing the effecti

40、ve contact areas between the plastics and fingers. This guarantees that theres enough power to run the keyboard as someone types. Liming Dai, a scientist, did not work on the new keyboard, but he thinks the design could be important in getting better performance from a variety of equipment. It could

41、 also be applied to a touch screen, for example, Dai says. Then smart phones and notepads could collect energy from someones actions of typing or drawing. Future work might make the keyboard even more useful, Dai adds. A later design might build tiny capacitors onto the nanowires, he suggests. Capac

42、itors are little devices that temporarily store electric charge. Those might then be LEDs to light a keyboard in the dark. Zhonglin Wang is a co-designer of the new keyboard. His team has built a working model of the keyboard. If a company decides to fund（资助）its production, this keyboard could be in

43、 stores in as few as two years, says Wang.1、How does the new keyboard tell whether you are its owner？ABy matching the typing pattern to the right user.BBy sending alarms to a computer program.CBy checking the right users passwords.DBy just recording information about the typing pattern.2、Why are the

44、re many nanowires on the surfaces of the keys？ATo keep the keyboard free of damage.BTo improve the speed of typing.CTo make the keys smooth.DTo help produce power.3、Whats Dais attitude to the new keyboard？AUnconcerned.BDoubtful.CPositive.DCritical.4、What is the best title for the text？AA New Keyboar

45、d Made of NanowiresBA New Keyboard Entirely Owned by YouCA New Keyboards FutureDA New Keyboard Powered by Typing24（8分） For years, decades in fact, Ive puzzled over the response most people have when I tell them I mostly travel alone.Youre so brave!Why is it that a woman travelling alone, as I have o

46、ften done for months at a time, is perceived to be brave, whereas men who travel alone are entirely unremarkable?You are only brave when you are afraid of something but still do it anyway. I have never been afraid of travelling alone.The first time I travelled alone was when I was 19. I was due to t

47、ravel in Europe with a friend at the end of the summer. She announced by letter two days before our departure that she would be leaving me halfway at Vienna. It was too late by then to rope in another friend, so it was either to go home after Vienna, or keep going by myself. I kept going. I got on t

48、rains by myself, checked into hostels by myself and found my way around by myself. It was weird at first, but later I stopped worrying about it.When I got back to Ireland after that trip, I felt proud of myself. I had done something I had assumed would be hard, and it had turned out to be not hard a

49、t all.That was three decades ago, and since then I have travelled all over the world, usually on my own. I still do what I did then, which is to keep a diary. The greatest gift of solo travel has been those Ive met along the way. I may have set off alone each time but Ive encountered many people who

50、 became important to me. I met my husband in Kathmandu, Nepal. I met lifelong friends in Australia, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, India, Indonesia and many other places.1、What makes the author puzzled when she tells people of her experience?APeoples disbelief.BPeoples response.CPeoples approval.DPeoples

Its th

53、e idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search reveals plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age is there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozarts music, but when it comes to

54、scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow

55、improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, well become more intelligent.The_idea_took_off,_with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in

56、1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozarts music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudl

57、y explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them produce better milk.Ill leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen di

58、fferent studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are shortlived and it doesnt make us more intelligent.1、What can we learn from Paragraph 1?AMozart composed many musical pieces for children.BChildren lis

59、tening to Mozart will be more intelligent.CThere are few products on the Internet about Mozarts music.DThere is little scientific evidence to support the Mozart effect.2、Why did many people believe in the idea of the Mozart effect?ABecause a study described it in the journal Nature.BBecause Mozart h

60、imself was a genius.CBecause Mozarts music is enjoyable.DBecause Mozarts music makes people relaxed.3、The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggests that _.Apeople were strongly against the ideaBthe idea was accepted by many peopleCMozart played an important part in peoples lifeDthe US government h
