19、ading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)七、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Every 14 days a language dies. By 2100, more than half of the more than 7,000 languages spoken on earth will likely disappear, taking with them a wealth of knowledge about history, culture, the natural environment, and how the human brain works.
20、Language defines a culture. Words that describe a particular cultural practice or idea rarely translate precisely into another language. Many endangered languages have rich oral cultures with stories, songs, and histories passed on to younger generations, hut no written forms. With the disappearance
21、, an entire culture is lost.Much of what humans know about nature is expressed only in oral languages. Indigenous (土著) groups that have interacted closely with the natural world for thousands of years often have deep insights into local lands, plants, animals, and ecosystems (生态环境). Studying indigen
22、ous languages therefore benefits environmental understanding.Studying various languages also increases our understanding of how humans communicate and store knowledge. Every time a language dies, we lose part of the picture of what our brains can do.Throughout human history, the languages of powerfu
23、l groups have spread while the languages of smaller cultures have become extinct. As a big language spreads, children whose parents speak a small language often grow up learning the big language. Those children or their own children may never learn the small language, or they may forget it as it fal
24、ls out of use. This has occurred throughout human history, but the rate of language disappearance has quickened dramatically in recent years.（分数：10.00）(1).When a language dies, what will also disappear together with it?A. History and wealth of human beings. B. Much of the knowledge of human beings.C
25、. The way the human brain works. D.

26、n to the nextD. understand the written forms of old stories, songs, and histories（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to this passage, indigenous people _.A. paid little attention to the ecosystems several thousand years agoB. have no way to keep the knowledge they gained over timeC. know a great deal abo

28、oes the passage say about the languages of smaller cultures?A. They are often replaced by big languages.B. Parents do not use a small language at all.C. Children have no chance to learn them from parents.D. They have been dropping out at the same speed.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.八、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)A
29、n earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault (断层). A fault is a fracture in the crust (地壳) of the earth along which rocks on one side have moved relative to those on the other side. Stresses in the earths outer layer push the sides of the fault together, build up, and then the rocks slips sudd
30、enly, releasing energy in waves that travel through the rock to cause the shaking that we feel during an earthquake.Earthquakes tend to be concentrated in narrow zones. There are 7 major crystal plates on earth, about 80 km thick, all in constant motion relative to one another. They move at a rate o
31、f between 10 and 130 mm per year.It is estimated that there are several million earthquakes in the world each year. Many of these earthquakes go undetected because they occur in remote areas or have very small magnitudes (震级). The USGS Earthquake Information Centre locates 12, 000 to 14,000 earthqua
32、kes each year (about 35 per day). On average, about 60 earthquakes per year are classified as significant, with 19 classified as major. A significant earthquake is one of a magnitude of 6. 5 or higher or one of a lesser magnitude that causes casualties (伤亡) or considerable damage. Major earthquakes
33、have a magnitude of more than 7.0.（分数：10.00）(1).The main idea of the passage is _.A. how earthquakes are formed and classifiedB. how earthquakes can be predicted and locatedC. earthquakes do not so often occur on the earthD. earthquakes are considered to be a threat to humans（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Whi

More earthquakes of higher magnitudes are detected than those of lower ones.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).How do scientists distinguish a significant earthquake from a

37、ess in the crust B. a large hole in the rockC. an outer layer of the crust D. a cracked part in the rock（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.九、Passage There(总题数：1，分数：10.00)When I was at school, our teacher told the class “You are what you eat“. My friends and I would laugh and call each other “hamburger“ and “biscuits“
38、. Our teacher was trying to show us the importance of eating the right food to stay healthy.Food influences our health. Weve all heard advice such as, “Milk can make you sleepy. To stop feeling sleepy you should eat peanuts“ or “Garlic (大蒜) helps you avoid catching a cold“. Everyone has their own ad
39、vice to give, but some of these pieces of advice seem not to agree with each other.But there does seem to be proof that we are what we eat. A few decades ago there were major campaigns to make British people healthier. We threw out our chip (薯条/片) pan which we had used until then to make chips every
40、 day for dinner. We replaced our chips with boiled potatoes. At first I felt like my potatoes had no taste at all. But after a while I started to prefer healthier food because I felt stronger and I didnt get sick so often.Japanese people are known to be the healthiest in the world because of the foo
41、d they eat. The healthiest Japanese people eat rice and fish and vegetables every day. They drink green tea or water when theyre thirsty. Traditional Japanese food is famous for helping you to live a longer and healthier life.When you know the effects of different types of food, you can use your kno

44、.D.(3).“We threw out our chip pan“ in the third paragraph probably means that _.A. the chip pan had become uselessB. we stopped eating fried potato chipsC. we wanted to make the kitchen cleanD. the use of chip pan was prohibited（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Why did the author switch from potato chips to boil
45、ed potatoes?A. Boiled potatoes were better for her health.B. Potato chips were no longer available.C. She liked the taste of boiled potatoes.D.

46、nd chips B. rice, peanuts and fishC. fish, rice and vegetables D. biscuits, vegetables and rice（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.十、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The greatest changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was a remarkable shortening of the time in a womans life spent caring
47、 for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her mid twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five would live till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in h
48、er early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which time her state of health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and she can expect to live anoth
49、er thirty years during which time she is likely to take paid work until her retirement at sixty. Even when she has to take care of her children, her work is lightened by modern living conditions.This important change in a womans life pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on womans economic position. Even a few year
