21、 As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations－UNESCO and National Geographic among them－have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introductionto the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials－ including photographs, films, tap recordings, and field notes — which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now, through the two organizations that he has founded — the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project — Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.
【1】Many scholars are making efforts to .
A.promote global languages
B.rescue the disappearing languages
C.search for language communities
D.set up languages research organizations
【2】What does "that tradition" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Linking with the native speakers
B.Telling stories about language users
C.Writing books on language searching
D.Having first records of the languages
【3】Which of the following best describe Turin's work?
A.Write, sell and donate. B.Record, repeat and reward.
C.Design, experiment and report. D.Collect, protect and reconnect.
22、 Not all negative emotions (消极情綪) are necessarily bad. In fact， they can direct your behavior in useful ways. If you’re stuck in traffic and running late, anger with the situation might motivate you to find an alternative route, which will then remove your stress
Emotions have physiological effects, which can affect your health. Indeed, a new study, published in Psychology and Aging, shows that high levels of anger are associated with poor health in older people
226 adults aged 59-3 took part in the Canadian study Researchers took their blood samples(样本) to assess levels of chronic (慢性的)low- grade inflammation (炎症) and asked the participants to report any age-related chronic illnesses they might have. The participants also completed a short questionnaire about the level of anger or sadness they experienced in three typical days over a one-week period
For the analysis, the researchers considered whether age could affect the results. They found that higher levels of anger were associated with inflammation and ill health in the oldest participants (aged 80 and above) but not he youngest ones (aged 5979) Sadness was not associated with inflammation or ill health in either age group.
To get a fuller understanding of the relationship between negative emotions and health, we need studies that follow participants for a period of time. Future studies should also take into consideration other factors (因素) that might be involved, such as other emotions (both positive and negative), clinical depression, stress and personality.
Although this new research shows a link between emotion and health in older age, we do not know whether anger causes inflammation and illness or whether health problems make people angrier.
【1】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?
A.Introduce the procedure of the research. B.Provide some background information.
C.Make some suggestions to the elderly. D.Emphasize the importance of feelings.
【2】At what age do higher levels of anger, affect health?
A.59. B.69.
C.79. D.89
【3】What should we do to know more about the link between negative emotions and health?
A.Stay in company with the participants.
B.Observe participants closely for some time
C.Take other groups of people into consideration.
D.Ask more people to participate in future studies
【4】What might be the suitable title for the text?
A.Adjusting Our Emotions Is Necessary B.Not All Negative Emotions Are Bad
C.Anger Linked to Illness in Old Age D.New Conclusions Make Us Amazed
23、For thousands of years, people have been fascinated by dolphins. Dolphins have developed a number of similar personality qualities to humans’, such as curiosity and sociability, despite having developed in vastly different environments, researchers have found. Recently, a British research team finished an eight-year study of Indo-Pacific dolphins off the coast of Western Australia. These dolphins can use different tools to search for food. The researchers found that these dolphins are more willing to walk with partners that like the same tool. Other parts, like family closeness or sex, have no impact on this relationship.
“It suggests that dolphins form social relationship based on shared interests,” UK biologist Simon said. Apart from dolphins, elephants, horses and bats are also known to form friendships. Are friendships only limited to the same species? Of course not.
In 2015, a goat Timur was originally left in the tiger Amur’s enclosure (围场) as a meal. But instead of eating Timur, Amur likes to play with Timur. Scientists said it’s not unusual among captive (圈禁的) animals. That’s because in captivity, animals don’t need to spend much time and energy marking their kingdom or looking for mates the way they would in the wild. They are actually more likely to feel bored. In this particular situation, the animal’s love to engage socially and playfully may be higher than eating.
【1】What does the author want to show by telling dolphin’s characters?
A．Dolphins prefer to hunt for food in groups.
B．Dolphins tend to make friends like humans.
C．Dolphins are more curious than human beings.
D．Dolphins make friends based on family closeness.
【2】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Showing captive animals are friendlier than others.
B．Explaining why captive animals can form friendship.
C．Describing how different animals get along with one another.
D．Comparing differences between a goat and a tiger’s friendship.
24、“If kids grow kale (甘蓝), kids eat kale. If they grow tomatoes, they eat tomatoes. But when none of this is presented to them, if they’re not shown how food affects the mind and the body, they blindly eat whatever you put in front of them.” — Ron Finley, a guerilla gardener in South Central LA.
For centuries, educators and researchers have argued that garden-based learning improves children’s intelligence and boosts their personal health. In recent years, concerns related to childhood obesity(肥胖) and young people’s disconnection from nature have led to a more heated discussion of the topic. Tens of thousands of American schools have some form of school garden. Many are located on school grounds and others are run by external community partners. Most are connected to the school’s curriculum. For instance, seeds are used in science class to explain plant biology, fruits are used in social studies to teach world geography and the harvest is used in math to explore weights and measures. Some even use the food from the garden to cook the school lunch.
Given the enthusiasm that surrounds garden-based learning today, it’s worth looking into their overall impacts: Do school gardens actually improve the education and health of young people? Yes, definitely!
There is plenty of evidence to suggest that garden-based learning does generate educational, nutritional, ecological and social benefits. For instance, several published studies have shown that garden-based learning can increase students’ science knowledge and healthy food behaviors. Other research has shown that garden-based learning can help students better identify different types of vegetables as well as lead to more favorable opinions on eating vegetables, which helps kids make healthier eating choices. Many supporters go even further, suggesting that garden-based learning can inspire a variety of healthy changes for the whole family. For some low-income families, the fresh vegetables from the school garden can provide the necessary vitamins and fibre, helping lose weight. Others, like Edible Schoolyard founder Alice Waters, hold the view that the experience in the garden can have a great and positive impact on a child’s worldview.
As part of a long-term movement to improve community health, school gardens can provide a platform for experiential education, create valuable green space and develop a sense of responsibility in the minds and bodies of young Americans.

25、It was late, about 10:15 p.m., when Janice Esposito arrived at the Bellport train station; she jumped into her Honda Odyssey and began the 20-minute drive home to her husband and seven-year-old son. She'd just returned from visiting her mother and had traveled the route many times before. She practically________on autopilot: a left onto Station Road, then a left on Montauk Highway, and then- wham! Out of nowhere a car T-boned Esposito's minivan (小型货车)，________her to move backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. She________in the minivan, bruised (撞伤) but mostly just knocked out by the________and the airbags.
As it happened, Pete DiPinto was getting ready for________. He'd just closed his book and was getting under the covers when he heard the sound of metal on metal and breaking glass coming from not far outside his bedroom window. A volunteer________ and retired teacher, DiPinto, 64, never________to think. He grabbed a flashlight and, still dressed in his pajamas, ran out the door.“Any firefighter would have done what I did," he told Newsday,“We re always on________”
The first car he came upon, 2,000 feet from his front yard, was the one that had________ Esposito. Once DiPinto concluded the driver was OK, he looked around and________Esposito's minivan positioned on the railroad tracks. And then he heard a terrible sound; the bells signaling an oncoming________.
"The gates were starting to come down," he told Newsday.“I see the headlight of the train." DiPinto ran quickly to Esposito's minivan and knocked on the driver's side window. She________looked at him, her eyes unfocused.“I don't know where I am," she said. She seemed unhurt. "Honey, you're on the railroad________,”DiPinto shouted.“We have to get you off right now!" He pulled hard on the________, but the door was crashed in and________.The heavy diesel train, traveling at 65 miles per hour, was moving fast toward them. DiPinto ran to the passenger side and threw open the________，“Please, don't let her be________,”he thought. He pushed aside the deflating (瘪了的) airbags, grabbed Esposito's arms, and________her toward him across the passenger seat until he could help her out and quickly get her to________behind a signal box a few feet away. Within six seconds, he estimated, the train crashed into the minivan.“It was like a Hollywood movie," DiPinto told reporters the next day.
But this one bad a twist. "Last night," South Gountry Ambulance chief Greg Miglino told CBS New York,“the________arrived in pajamas, not in a fire truck."
