The languages of 16 groups have spread while the languages of smaller cultures have 17 . One language expert famously defined a/an 18 as “a dialect with an army”. Today, what drives a language to new places is not a/an 19 but things like television, the Internet and international business.‎ In a global society, languages spoken in remote places are no longer 20 from the languages used for world communication and commerce (商业). Widely-used languages such as Mandarin, English, Russian and Spanish reach into tiny communities and compete with 21 languages. When one language is 22 used, children from minority language groups tend to lose their native languages as they grow up, attend school and start working. This is partly because some people think that speaking these smaller languages is a 23 to success. These attitudes, along with the strong desire to fit-in, 24 the use of minority languages. Political pressure can further 25 the survival of smaller languages, such as when governments ban the use of smaller languages in education or the media.‎ Why is the disappearance of a language with a small number of speakers a concern? Different languages express different ways of 26 the world. They carry information such as the values, history and traditions of a culture, and they can show us how a/an 27 culture expresses basic concepts such as time, numbers and colors. For example the Piraha, an Amazonian tribe, appear to have no words for numbers. 28 , they simply use relative words such as few and many.‎ When a language disappears, we also 29 knowledge. This knowledge is just as important as a future miracle drug that may be lost when a plant or animal species 30______.‎ ‎16. A. beautiful B. helpful C. new D. powerful ‎17.

Other people enjoy climbing high mountains or travelling alone in dangerous places. Why are some people attracted to risky (冒险的) activities like these?‎ Risk takers have some common characteristics, experts believe. For example, psychologist Marvin Zuckerman says that risk takes are always looking for change and excitement. They’re also confident in dangerous situations.‎ A chemical produced in the brain called dopamine may be related to risk taking. When people do something risky, this chemical is released and creates a pleasant feeling. Dopamine makes people feel good, so they want to do more risky activities.‎ People who enjoy dangerous sports are risk takers. Extreme athletes see the world in a different way, says sports psychologist Shane Murphy. In a dangerous activity such as skydiving, most people probably do not feel in control. Murphy believes extreme athletes are the opposite: they feel in control in dangerous situations. The danger can help them. For example, skier Daron Rahlves says that fear makes him try harder to succeed.‎ Some people take risks to achieve a goal. Conservationist Michael Fay led a ‎ dangerous 2,000-mile expedition in central Africa. His goal was to help save the wildlife there. Fay’s expedition helped to create 13 national parks.‎ Most of us are not extreme athletes or explorers. However, we all like some excitement in our lives. In fact, most people are risk takers in some way. Some people take social risks, such as speaking in front of a large group of people or talking to people they don’t know at a party. Some take financial risks, such as buying a house or putting money into stocks. Others take career risks, such as starting their own business. What kind of risk taker are you?‎ 41. According to Zuckerman, risks takers .‎ A. always feel in control B. search for unnecessary danger C. always look for excitement D. are more likely to be hurt 42. Which of the following information from the passage is a fact rather than an opinion?‎ A. The brain produces a chemical called dopamine.‎ B. Extreme athletes see the world in a different way.‎ C. Fear makes people try harder to succeed.‎ D. People all like some excitement in their lives.‎ 43. Which is an example of Michael Fay’s risk taking behaviour?‎ A. Helping to create 13 national parks.‎ B. Wanting to save the wildlife of Africa.‎ C. Taking part in different extreme sports.‎ D. Leading a dangerous trip through central Africa.‎ B When you listen to your favorite song, you probably admire the singer or the musicians you’re hearing. Those talented musical performers, however, are only some of the people involved in making the music you enjoy. Most people in the music industry work "behind the scenes", but their roles in the music-making process are very important.‎ Songwriters Before you can hear a song, a songwriter must imagine it. Some songwriters work alone, but many songwriting teams include someone who writes the song's words, and another person who writes the music. Pop music legend Elton John's best-known songs, including Tiny Dancer and Your Song, were written to accompany the words of Berine Taupin, whose name you might not know.‎ Arrangers After a song has been written, music arrangers make it more appealing by deciding ‎ which instruments will be used, what speed the song will have and the song’s pitch. A good arrangement can make a song a “classic” that people will remember and want to hear again and again. ‎ Recording Engineers Recording engineers also play a major role in creating the final sound that you hear. First,‎ they set up the recording studio, the room where the performers play. Next, they use electronic equipment to record the music. Finally, long after the musicians have finished, recording engineers use a mixing board to balance the songs of each musician, and sometimes to incorporate special sound effects or additional tracks.‎ Studio Musicians Many talented singers and musicians aren’t stars, but work in the background as studio musicians. These artists aren’t members of one musical group. Instead, they are hired for recording sessions that eventually become the music you buy, as well as the music used in television shows, movies, and radio ads.‎ Many people make a living with music. You may not recognize all of their names, but all of them work together to create the songs you love to listen to.‎ ‎44. What is the best title for this passage?‎ A. The Music Man B. How Music is Made C. It’s More Than Just a Song D. The People Behind the Music ‎45. Who usually decide what instruments are used in a song?‎ A. Songwriters.‎ B. Arrangers.‎ C. Recording engineers.‎ D. Studio musicians.‎ 46. Who will most probably carry out the last step of the music-making process?‎ A. Songwriters.‎ B. Arrangers.‎ C. Recording engineers.‎ D. Studio musicians.‎ 47. What is true about studio musicians?‎ A. They help to write the music.‎ B. They decide what songs to play.‎ C. They often appear on TV shows.‎ D. They play with different performers.‎ C When architects design houses, they consider many things. They might consider who will live in the house. They might consider how the house fits in with the rest of the neighbourhood. In the countryside, architects might think about how a house fits in with the natural features of the surrounding environment. In some cases, an architect’s building will reflect(反映)his or her ideas and beliefs.‎ One good example of an architect’s design reflecting his or her ideas is Monticello. It was the home of Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), the third president of the United States. While Jefferson is best known as a politician and the great writer who penned the American Declaration of Independence, he was also an accomplished and completely self-taught architect. The building Monticello was actually designed by Jefferson himself at the age of 26. It was built on farmland left to him by his father, following the elder Jefferson’s death a decade earlier. The design of the building helps us better understand Jefferson.‎ When first built, the architectural style of the Monticello house was mostly Roman Neoclassical(新古典主义). Roman Neoclassical is modelled on the art and building design of ancient Rome. The great columns at the front of Monticello were based on the columns of building in ancient Rome. Jefferson admired the Romans for their strength and great ideas.‎ Jefferson’s later remodelling of Monticello was inspired by his experiences in France. Shortly after the American Revolutionary War, Jefferson lived in Paris for five years. He fell in love with the architecture he saw around France. He especially loved the Salm Hotel in Paris. It was a one–story building with a dome or circular roof. Jefferson included a dome in his design, making Monticello the first building in America to have such a roof.‎ Today, Monticello is recognized and admired worldwide as a symbol of American architecture. It is protected as a World Heritage Site. Monticello’s image has appeared on U.S. postage stamps and was on the two dollar US note between 1928 and 1966.‎ ‎48. According to Paragraph 2, the design of Monticello _.‎ A. was not popular during Jefferson’s life time.‎ B. reflects the beliefs and ideas of Jefferson C. fits in well with the farmland and surrounding environment D. encouraged Jefferson’s neighbours to follow a similar design ‎49. When did Jefferson begin designing Monticello?‎ A. Ten years after his father’s death.‎ B. During the American Revolutionary War.‎ C. After he returned from working in Europe.‎ D. Once he had completed his architectural studies.‎ 50. What was the inspiration for Jefferson’s remodelling of Monticello?‎ A. His interest in Roman architecture.‎ B. His love of ancient history.‎ C. His experiences living in France.‎ D. His feelings for his homeland.‎ 51. What is the function of the last paragraph?‎ A. To describe how Monticello is now used.‎ B. To praise Jefferson’s political achievement.‎ C. To list the buildings Jefferson designed.‎ D. To show the continued importance of Monticello in America.‎ 52. ‎ What can we infer about Jefferson from the passage?‎ A. He was a man of many talents and abilities.‎ B. He was best known as a designer during his life.‎ C. He designed many of America’s most important buildings.‎ D. He was the first farmer to become President of the USA.‎ D Paul awoke to the sound of the alarm clock. Normally, this would be followed by feelings of worry about the day ahead. But today was different. Today he couldn’t wait to go to school.‎ He rushed to his desk and picked up the old jam jar which contained a colorful butterfly. It had taken him hours to catch and now it was going to be part of his biology presentation for school.‎ While most of his classmates would be showing drawings of insects or animals taken from textbooks, Paul planned to present something different ---- a live creature. This was sure to get him the highest grade in the class.‎ Paul sat at his desk admiring the insect’s beautiful red and yellow wings. He had made air holes in the jar’s lid, and added leaves for the butterfly to eat. It might be in a glass prison but at least it was being well cared for, Paul thought as he left for school.‎ Paul entered the classroom early and put the jar in his desk. Biology was the first lesson after lunch and he wanted his presentation to be a surprise. After taking the jar from his bag, he noticed the butterfly was very still. Its wings moved very slowly and its colour seemed to have faded too. Probably just a little tired from the trip in the bag, Paul hoped.‎ Throughout the morning, Paul secretly checked on the insect. Each time it seemed a little stiller, its colour a little duller. Something was wrong. When the lunch-bell rang, he waited ‎ for his classmates to leave before opening the jar. The butterfly was still alive, but only just.‎ He took the jar to the bathroom and sprinkled a few drops of water on its head. The cooling effect was instant. The butterfly came to life again and Paul barely managed to replace the lid before it flew out. But rather than pleasure, the sight of the revived butterfly crashing against the jar, desperate for freedom, made Paul feel guilty. He was being cruel for a mark.‎ As he walked back to class, feeling ashamed, the bell went again. It was time for Biology. He walked over to the window, opened the jar and set the butterfly free. A moment later the biology teacher entered. “Paul, your presentation’s first today.”‎ ‎“Sorry sir,” the boy replied, “I forgot all about it.”‎ 50. What can we guess about Paul from the first paragraph?‎ A. He often caught animals.‎ B. He did not usually enjoy school.‎ C. He was a very clever student.‎ D. He was sometimes quite cruel.‎ 51. Why was Paul confident that his biology project would receive a high grade?‎ A. Biology was his favourite subject.‎ B. His project idea was creative.‎ C. He had spent much time preparing.‎ D. His butterfly was very colourful.‎ 52. The underlined word “revived” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to “ ”.‎ A. refreshed B. returned C. replaced D. relaxed 53. Why did Paul finally free the butterfly?‎ A. It was time for class.‎ B. It was no longer very active.‎ C. He felt ashamed at his actions.‎ D. He forgot about the presentation.‎ 第二节 阅读填空（共4小题，每小题2分，满分8分）‎ There once was a bird made of stone. She was beautiful and she was also magic.
