26、In language learning, it is found that when you're a beginner, you usually feel proud and pleased about how much you can understand and say. However, when you get better, you realize that you still have so much to learn. 【1】 Here are three tips if you too are finding it a little harder than usual to motivate yourself.
Think back to why you started learning the language. There must have been at least a few reasons why you devoted yourself to learning a whole new language. Physically writing a list of the reasons will give you a chance to think and remember why. 【2】
【3】 You will probably see a great change in your ability. Remember how little you knew when you were just a beginner. Hopefully seeing your progress will make you realize how far you've come, and how much better you will get, if you keep learning more!
Try something new. Sometimes doing the same old thing can be really boring. 【4】 Try to find a new activity which can make things interesting again. Why not make a mind map with pictures and colors to learn your vocabulary this time?
【5】 And there are so many reasons to be motivated. Congratulate yourself on how far you have come and be excited by how much more you can achieve!
A.Language learning does require lots of motivation.
B.Have a look back at your old work.
C.You might even come up with some new reasons too!
D.Set a small goal each day and keep on learning just a few new words a day.
E.Sometimes for one reason or another, you can find that it is gone.
F.This can feel a bit overwhelming and, hence, lead to depression.
G.Memorizing a long vocabulary list, for instance, will make you lose your motivation.
27、1.Part of northern California had become an inferno(火海) in the latest big fire. A nearby town, Paradise, was reduced to ash. Nearly 50 people are confirmed dead and over 200 missing. Six of the ten most destructive fires in California's history have occurred in the past decade. Last year was the most destructive year on record, until this year. Why is the Golden State so flammable?
2.There are three reasons why California has been surrounded by flames. First, the climate is becoming warmer. This has led to snow melting earlier, drier landscapes and a longer season when fires are likely to occur.
3.A second reason is that more people live in flammable places. Since the 1990s 60% of new homes in California, Washington and Oregon have been built in spaces next to nature. These areas, which environmentalists call the "wildland-urban interface", are at higher risk of wildfire.
4.A third reason is that there is more fuel. Before western settlers arrived, fires used to happen often and naturally, which made less fuel available for future fires. For the past century fires have been controlled well. This has led to a build-up of dry brush, and makes the average wildfire much likelier to turn into a big one.
5.Putting out the flame is the most immediate task for California, but not the last. Many survivors will want to rebuild their homes exactly where they were. Californians will also want to ensure that utility companies(公用事业公司) are acting and investing responsibly. Investigations into what caused the fire are still going on, but some reports suggest it may have begun with sparks (火花) from lines owned by an electricity company.
【1】What may directly cause the big fire in California?
A.The warm climate.
B.Living too close to nature.
C.Too much fuel.
D.Sparks from electric wire
【2】What does the underlined sentences in Paragraph 1 suggest?
A.The fires in California are all very destructive.
B.The latest big fire in California is very destructive.
C.California suffered from destructive fires most last year.
D.There have been six destructive fires in California in the past 10 years.
【3】What does the text mainly talk about?
A.The reasons why California suffered a destructive fire recently.
B.The reasons why California suffered destructive fires frequently.
C.The facts that California is a place easily suffered destructive fires.
D.The opinions that California is a place easily suffered destructive fires.
【4】What is the structure of the text?
A.1//2-3// 4-5
B.1-2// 3-5
C.1//2-4// 5
D.1// 2-5
28、 In this semester, Professor Van Rijnsoever of Utrecht University of the Netherlands is to teach “Dutch Culture in the World”, in English.
The language is the university’s choice. Actually sixty percent of masters’ programs at Utrecht University are in English. At higher degrees' level, no courses are taught in Dutch at all.
Utrecht is not alone.
The University of Eindhoven has even completely kicked the Dutch language out of its campus. Even the sandwiches in the stores there are sold as cheese rather than with the Dutch word “kaas”.
As a result, the Netherlands has one of the world’s highest levels of English proficiency (流利)among non-native speaking countries, second only to Sweden.
But not everyone is happy with that .
“I don't mind. Most of the literature is in English,” says Professor Van Rijnsoever. “As a teacher it’s not that much of a problem because we also do research in English. For the students, you see they are struggling to express themselves properly.”
He added “We aren’t as good at English as they think we are. We shouldn’t use a weaker language in education. If we use just English in higher education, Dutch will get worse. We add a bit of English and we lose a bit of Dutch. We cannot master Dutch and English at the same time.”
Actually, English is so widely used in Dutch universities that a group of lecturers are worried about a possible “linguicide” and demanded that the universities stop creating more courses in English until an official research has been carried out.
“Dutch is our mother tongue. Our culture is based on Dutch,” says Annette de Groot, a lecturer at the University of Amsterdam. “What would happen to our identity(身份)if our mother tongue is no longer the main language of higher education?”
“It is high time for an honest debate.” said a teacher from the University of Erasmus.
【1】Which university teaches all its courses in English?
A.Utrecht. B.Eindhoven. C.Amsterdam. D.Erasmus.
【2】What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 6 refer to?
A.The highest level of English proficiency in the Netherlands.
B.The teaching of “Dutch Culture in the World" in English.
C.The kick out of the Dutch language from all schools.
D.The widespread use of English in the Dutch universities.
【3】What can we learn from Van Rijnsoever’s words?
A.The all- English courses might weaken the mastery of Dutch.
B.Students can learn two languages equally well at the same time.
C.The stress on English can help the spread of Dutch culture.
D.The students of Utrecht are happy with the all-English courses.
【4】What is “linguicide”?
A.The birth of a language. B.The loss of one’s cultural identity.
C.The war between cultures. D.The popularity of a language.
29、LONDON—England will join the growing list of places that don’t allow smoking in public buildings, taxis and other places that includes even Buckingham Palace with a strong law.
Pubs, clubs and restaurants will all be smoke-free places. Taxi drivers have been warned that they could be fined(罚款) 50 pounds, or about $100, if they are caught lighting up inside work taxis.
Experts say the bans have become unchangeable because of increasing health costs and public worry over second-hand smoke. Some of the strictest smoking bans are in some of the United States’ states, such as New York and Florida, which include bars and restaurants as smoke-free places.
Spain, Italy, Iran, Norway, Sweden, Singapore, South Africa, Uruguay and New Zealand have made laws to limit smoking. France banned smoking in many public places in February and cafes and restaurants will become non-smoking places next year. Finland will introduce a ban, too.
Bans are spreading among countries, and the World Health Organization supports them, but it said that by 2030 there will be “at least another two billion smokers in the world” and an expected decrease in male smokers “will be offset(抵消) by an increase in female smoking rates, especially in developing countries.”
In advance of the English ban, anti-smoking ads have coated bus stops and the government prepares to pay some money to help people give up smoking. The rest of Britain—Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland—already have smoking bans ready.
【1】England does the following to ban smoking EXCEPT________.
