21、According to the statistics shared by UNESCO, at least 43% of the total languages that are estimated as being spoken across the world are in danger of extinction. Moreover, many languages around the world have less than 1,000 speakers now. Linguists (语言学家) and researchers believe that by the end of the century, at least half of the world' s languages will have died. This is troublesome, given that cultural identity and languages go hand in hand.
Language activists and people who speak these endangered languages are fighting back tooth and nail. Scientists believe that digitalization might be our only hope to preserve some of these quickly disappearing languages in the online world.
For instance, Oxford University Press launched Oxford Global Languages a few years ago. It is an initiative that boosts “digitally underrepresented” languages. They are focused on promoting languages that might have close to a million speakers worldwide, yet have little or no online presence. Therefore, they have been creating digital dictionaries as a fundamental building block to help preserve them.
There have been countless other projects like this with the same aim. Another is the Rosetta Project, which aims to create a handheld digital library that will carry more than 1,500 languages. It will be appropriately sized to fit nicely into our hands, and will come with around 13,000 pages of information. It will also have a high life expectancy of anywhere between 2,000 and 10,000 years. Initiatives like these have their primary objective to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their speakers have died.
Countless languages are dying every day, and they will continue to perish as the remaining speakers die. Of course, we cannot merely rely on digitization to deal with worldwide languages loss. However, it is a step in the right direction. These digital tools offer endangered languages an opportunity to bounce back and survive .
【1】What does the data in paragraph 1 mainly show?
A．Many languages are endangered.
B．Culture determines language evolution.
C．Human development results in fewer languages.
D．Many linguists attempt to protect threatened languages.
【2】What does Oxford Global Languages try to do?
A．Promote online courses of local languages.
B．Publish paper dictionaries of global languages.
C．Increase dying language speakers to a million.
D．Make certain languages available in digital form.
【3】What can we learn about the digital library to be created by the Rosetta Project?
A．It is portable but has a short life.
B．It is sponsored by Oxford University Press.
C．It provides protection for linguistic diversity.
D．It contains automatically updated information.
【4】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “perish” in the last paragraph?
A．Be enriched.
B．Be lost.
C．Be acquired.
D．Be invented.
22、In 2020, American National Youth Tobacco Survey found that more than 3.6 millon youth had used e-cigarettes. That means e-cigarette use has gone beyond traditional cigarette use in young people.
There are some reasons for that. Many young people are curious to try out some new flavors (味道) in e-cigarettes, like chocolate, lemon and strawberry. In fact, research has shown that the interesting flavors are what lead kids to experiment with e-cigarettes in the first place. Besides, when seeing some friends using them, the youth would probably have a try, too, believing that e-cigarettes are much cooler than traditional cigarettes. Last, they falsely believe me-cigarettes are harmless to their health since no smelly gases are produced in the process.
Many young users do not realize e-cigarettes have dangerously high levels of nicotine (尼古丁), sometimes as much as that of an entire pack of cigarettes, so that they are pretty harmful to their health and highly addictive. There has been a rise of stories in the media about kids who use e-cigarettes developing serious breathing problems. And nicotine may harm their developing brain, as brain development continues through about age 25. Also, nicotine can affect their ability to concentrate, learn and exercise.
Another huge risk is the fact that e-cigarettes blow up, thus causing serious injuries. According to a 2019 study from the U.S. Fire Department, e-cigarettes caused serious injuries to users including breaking their jaws (下巴 ) or knocking out their teeth. Meanwhile, another study found that injuries from e-cigarette use resulted in nearly 2,000 emergency room visits between 2018and 2020.
In the U.S, it is now illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to buy e-cigarettes. What's more, the government now requires e-cigarettes to contain a warning about the addictiveness of nicotine.
【1】What is the major reason why teenagers begin to smoke e-cigarettes?
A．They want to copy what their friends have done.
B．They think using e-cigarettes makes them look cooler.
C．They believe e-cigarettes are much safer than cigarettes.
D．They are curious about the inviting flavors of e-cigarettes.
【2】According to the passage，what may result in the concentration problem in young people?
A．Nicotine in e-cigarettes.
B．Slow brain development.
C．Lack of physical exercise.
D．Serious breathing problems.
【3】Why does the author mention the two studies in Paragraph 4?
A．To prove his opinion.
B．To compare different results.
C．To give detailed information.
D．To explain research methods.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．E-cigarettes are rather harmful to young people.
B．Many young people get addicted to e-cigarettes.
C．People under 21 are forbidden to use e-cigarettes.
D．Risk awareness of e-cigarette smoking should be raised.
23、Oumuamua,an object through space that was discovered on October 19th, has already made history.The speed at which it is moving relative to the sun means that it cannot be native to the solar system. Its official name is thus II/2017 UI, with the “I” standing for “interstellar(星际)”—the first time this name has ever been used.
That is exciting.Some scientists, though, entertain an ever more exciting possibility: what if Oumuamua is not an asteroid(小行星),as most think, but an alien(外星的)spacecraft? Asteroid come in ll sorts of shapes and sizes, but Oumuamua seems particularly different.As best as astronomers can tell, it is cigarlike,being roughly 180 meters long but only about 30 meters wide.That makes it longer than anything known of in the solar system.Such a shape would be a sensible choice for a spaceship,since it would minimize the scouring(冲刷)effect of interstellar dust.
With that in mind the Breakthrough Listen project, an organization aimed at hunting for alien life, plans to turn the world’s biggest radio telescope,the Green Bank instrument in Virginia,towards Oumuamua to see if it can hear anything interesting.Oumuamua is currently about twice as far from Earth as Earth is from the sun. At that range,the telescope should be sensitive enough to pick up a transmitter about as powerful as a mobile phone after just a few seconds—worth of observations.
Will it find anything? Almost certainly not.Oumuamua has the same reddish color as many as asteroids,so probably has a similar composition.And, if it really is a spaceship, it is strange that signs of its artificial origin have not been seen already.It could, in theory, be a derelict(遗弃星球). But in that case the telescope is unlikely to hear anything. By far the most likely option is that it is exactly what it seems to be: a huge space rock, one that has come to the solar system from the vast space between the stars.
【1】What makes some scientists think Oumuamua is possibly an alien spacecraft?
A. Its size. B. Its color.
C. Its shape. D. Its speed.
【2】What does the underlined word“that”in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. The research into the solar system.
B. The purpose of hunting for alien life.
C. The effect of interstellar dust on Oumuamua.
D. The possibility of Oumuamua being a spaceship.
【3】What is Oumuamua most likely to be according to the author?
A. An asteroid. B. A space rock.
C. Interstellar dust. D. An alien spacecraft.
【4】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that__________.
A. Oumuamua will return to where it’s from soon
B. Oumuamua’s real identity remains to be found out
C. astronomers have not seen signs of Oumuamua’s artificial origin
D. the Green Bank telescope has already heard something from Oumuamua
24、Lockers(储物柜)have been the symbol of American high school for decades. But walk down any hallway of the new Germantown High School in Madison County, Mississippi, and you won’t spot a single locker.
New technology such as e-books, interactive(互动的)assignments and Web-based learning is making lockers in
American high school a thing of the past.
Officials from schools that have listed several benefits: less noise, less delay and an increased sense of safety.
“It’s all to create an environment that’s student-friendly”, said Ronnie McGehee, chief official of the Madison County School District.
Getting rid of lockers can also cut hundreds of thousands in construction costs. Madison County saved $200,000 by not including lockers in the new high school, McGehee said.
It is also believed that removing lockers could help prevent school violence. ”Lockers give kids a place to hide things”, said Mike Nelson, founder of a safety- training group. Nelson believes that some school shootings and other incidents could have been prevented if there had been no lockers.
However, Andrew Booth, a 10th-grader at Gemantown High, said there are some disadvantages of not having a locker. “It can make your book bag really heavy”, he said. The 16-year-old has four textbooks “plus notebooks and a binder(活页夹)” to carry to school each day.
He said some teachers have shelves at the back of the classroom on which students can leave their bags. Others provide an extra set of textbooks in the classroom, so students don’t have to carry books from home.
New York architect Peter Lippman said schools will have to address such concerns and find ways to give students a “sense of space” “If you are carrying books around, it does limit your flexibility in the classrooms,” he said.
Lippman said he would like to see schools starting to use the new free space to provide less structured learning opportunities for students, including gathering areas and learning centers. “If you think about a school with just rows of lockers-there’s nowhere for learning opportunities in that”, he said.
【1】What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The trend of getting rid of lockers in US high schools.
B. The influence of new technology on some US high schools.
C. The history and development of lockers in US high schools.
D. The advantages and disadvantages of lockers in US high schools.
【2】What is not the advantage of getting rid of lockers?
A. Saving money.
B. Making less noise.
C. Preventing school violence.
D. Making book bags heavy.
【3】What is Andrew Booth’s attitude to removing lockers?
A. Complaining
B. Approving.
C. Ignorant.
D. Favorable.
【4】What does Lippman suggest schools that have removed lockers should do?
A. Give students as much freedom as possible in the classroom.
B. Provide students with an extra set of textbooks in the classroom.
C. Make more learning opportunities for students in the new free space.
D. Put shelves at the back of the classroom for students to leave their bags.
