1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

It’s said that after working and studying for a long time, having some dessert can help us forget tiredness. Are you a dessert lover? What’s your favorite dessert? Have you ever heard of a traditional dessert called Fried Chop Rice Cake(驴打滚)?

The dessert is also named Lü Da Gun in Chinese. And it is one of the most popular snacks in Beijing. Its name is very interesting, isn’t it? But it has nothing to do with donkeys(驴). 1.It is a kind of handmade cake that tastes sweet and delicious. Why do Chinese people call it Lü Da Gun?

Here is a story about it. It’s believed that in the Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi(慈禧太后) was tired of having the same kind of food every day. So, one day, a chef(厨师) was called to the palace. Cixi told her needs to the chef and ordered him to cook something different. 2.However, it’s too difficult for the chef to meet these needs. After thinking carefully, he made a new kind of cake by using rice powder and red bean paste(糯米粉和豆沙馅).

However, a boy came to the kitchen. Before the chef warned him, the boy had dropped the cake into soybean powder(黄豆面) by accident. 3.厨师很担心因为要做一个新的蛋糕太迟了。He had no choice but to take the cake to Empress Dowager Cixi nervously.

4.令他惊讶的是，慈禧非常喜欢他的糕点。 His bad luck unexpectedly turned into good things. She asked the chef what the name of the cake was. The chef had thought about that. Suddenly, he thought of the name of the little boy — “Xiao Lür’. So he said that the cake’s name was Lü Da Gun.

Since then, Lü Da Gun has won the hearts of foodies(美食家) for its special taste and funny name. 5.Many visitors see it as a must-eat food when traveling to Beijing. Would you like to try it?

Some people say it has a head like a horse. Others say it looks like a snake. Many people travel to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster, but only a few people have seen it. At least, they say they have seen it.

The Loch Ness Monster is a famous mystery .The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500 years ago, but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twentieth century. In 1933, a husband and wife reported that they saw a big monster in the middle of the lake. Since then, a number of people have said that they have seen a monster in Loch Ness. Several people have taken photos, but at least one of them was a hoax (骗局) . During the 1960s, a team was formed to look for the monster. They took many photos and made movies, but they were never able to find a monster.

There is no real fact that a monster lives in Loch Ness, but there is also no fact that one doesn’t live. One thing is true about Loch Ness：there are a lot of tourists there.

27、   The late president of South Africa , Nelson Mandela , once said :“If you talk to a man in a language he understands , that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.”

After all, it’s the language we first hear – usually from our parents – and the language we first learn to speak. We can communicate in a nuanced（微妙的）way through our mother language , expressing our emotions and moods more fluently . We make friends in our mother language. We fall in love in it. We suffer bereavement（丧亲之痛）in our mother language . When we die, we know that people will mourn（哀悼）for us in our mother language .

For the people who speak an ancient tongue as their mother language , it is the repository（贮藏库）of tradition . The language is their main link with their ancestors. And it’s also how they imagine the future.

So it’s a serious matter for a language to disappear. Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozen people, such as Yagan, a language from Chile. Africa and South America are also places where many languages are imperilled.

Why are we humans speaking fewer languages than we once did? The answer has a lot to do with globalization. With greater trade and communication, the planet has become smaller. It’s become more useful to speak some languages – English is the obvious example – than others. the effect has been to kill certain languages, usually ones spoken by less populous（人口众多的）and powerful peoples.

But there are people and organizations all over the world that aren’t prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages. Through efforts both large and small, they are getting people to speak and read in certain languages, and to pass them on.

The United Nations recognizes this work. This is why each year on Feb 21, it holds International Mother Language Day to raise notice of dying languages, as well as praises the people who are struggling to protect them.

This work is surely important. Language is the roadmap of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going.

【1】How does the author introduce the topic?

A.By asking a question. B.By using someone’s words.

C.By giving an experience. D.By expressing a feeling.

【2】What are Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about?

A.The importance of one’s mother language.

B.Why languages disappear.

C.Ways to save our mother languages.

D.The relationship between tradition and language.

【3】What does the underlined word “imperiled”mean？

A.developed B.protected C.used D.endangered

【4】what is the greatest cause of language loss, according to the article?

A.The development of globalization.

B.An increasing world population.

C.Disappearing traditions.

D.Young people don’t like speaking their mother language.

【5】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A.More than 400 languages have died over the last century.

B.Some languages are spoken only by a small number of people

C.The less powerful peoples’ languages can’t be killed

D.Many languages are imperilled in Africa and South America

28、   Today we can see that many people are cutting down the trees in the forests. A lot of 【1】 lands have become deserts. If we read newspapers, we'll learn that the forests on the earth are changing smaller all the time. We are cutting down a large number of trees 【2】 we need wood and farmland. Some scientists say that there will not be any great forests in 20 or 30 years.

What will happen if the forests disappear? A lot of plants will die and the animals will 【3】 their homes. In many places the new farmland will soon look 【4】 the old desert. Crops will not grow there. There won't be enough rain, and the weather will get hot and dry. If the climate of the earth changes, life will be 【5】 for everyone. Our living environment will 【6】 worse and worse. More and more rich farmland will disappear. We will suffer (遭受) a lot from 【7】 droughts (干旱) and floods.

It's our duty to protect the forests well. Everyone should 【8】 his best to make a contribution to taking care of the forests. Stop cutting down the trees and make the world greener.
