26、Experts say over half of the world’s 7,000 languages are in danger of disappearing. Every two weeks one language disappears. As the last speakers of a language die off, the valuable information contained within a language also disappears. 【1】
What would happen if you were the only person left who spoke your language? Who would you share stories with, sing songs to, or exchange jokes with? 【2】 This is the example scientists use to explain the situation of many people around the world whose local languages are disappearing.
Sometimes a language disappears immediately when the last person speaking it dies. 【3】 This happens when an official language is used more often and children stop learning the local language of their parents. This is not a new process. Official languages often represent a form of control over a group of people. Throughout history, the language spoken by a powerful ethnic (种族) group spreads across a kind of culture.
【4】
So, smaller cultures lose their local language as the language of the culture in power becomes the stronger influence.
Languages contain the histories, ideas and knowledge of a culture. Languages also contain valuable information about local medicines, plants and animals. Many endangered languages are spoken by native cultures in close connection with the natural world.
【5】
The Internet could be thought of as a new method of language control. The United Nations cultural organization — UNESCO, says that ninety percent of the world’s languages are not shown on the Internet.
A．Learn a language that will disappear now.
B．Or a local language might disappear more slowly.
C．That’s why endangered languages must be protected.
D．Protecting languages is very important for these reasons.
E．The more powerful culture almost never respects that of smaller groups.
F．Who would understand your names for local plants, animals and traditions?
G．Your interest in language may be changed with more languages disappearing.
27、 This summer my mom and I did something meaningful and interesting.
Because of the stresses of high school, I felt depressed from time to time. What’s worse, I began to eat many junk foods. As a result, I had gained a lot of weight.
My mom decided to take me to work out, and she cooked delicious but healthy snacks for me. However, I broke my word to my mom not to buy high calorie snacks. My mom found my snack wrappers in the garbage. She got really angry and told me something I will remember forever. She said, “ My dear, I can forget the fact that you cheated, but you shouldn’t. Remember it’s not all about losing weight but about your whole life. If you want to achieve something, take it seriously, and persist（坚持）no matter what happens.”
Since then, we have been out running each morning, and we do some yoga in the evening. We sing and laugh while running along the empty roads. Day by day, I am feeling better. Exercise is helping to strengthen my body and refresh my spirits. At the same time, my mom and I cook different dishes together. Isn’t it amazing that I’m making such tasty-looking foods myself? Cooking brings great joy to me.
These times with my mom have changed my whole attitude to life. I have started to learn the importance of sticking to goals and how to relax. As the famous Brazilian soccer player Pele said, “With strong will, the feet are equal to a pair of wings.”

28、 For the last eight years, Jo Meade rode her bike each Sunday on a 16-mile round trip to her job washing dishes. It took more than an hour each way. Other days of the week she would spend two hours on three buses from her apartment to get to the other work, for a four-hour round trip.
That was the “before” part of her life. The “after” part of her life was started by the community Police Officer Trevor Arnold, who delivered a used car to her with the help of a car dealer and other donors.
Arnold, who spotted Meade, red and sweaty, riding her bike in the worst heat this summer, decided he would get her a car. He intended to quietly buy her a used car out of his own pocket so he turned to his friend Kody Slaght, a car salesman, to ask about a car priced $ 1,000. That wasn’t enough for a reliable ride, Slaght said, but the dealership said they would find a good car for her at a good price. Soon others were donating. Slaght and Arnold wouldn’t say how much the car cost, but the value is about $ 4,000.
Arnold said he was motivated by Meade’s work ethic (职业道德) to help. “I see a lot of hardworking people but that’s when they are at work. Can you imagine spending four hours of your day getting to and from work?” he said.
Meade’s boss said she was awesome and really reliable when she worked and she got along with others. “She’s willing to ride the three buses to get in here on her day off if we need her to.”
Meade said she was planning to buy a car, “but I haven’t been able to afford it,” she said. “Trevor, he is a very good guy. I did not expect this.”
【1】What can we learn about Jo Meade’s work?
A.It’s free but low-paid. B.It’s time-consuming on the road.
C.It’s competitive and high-paid. D.It’s not worth her devotion.
【2】Why did Slaght disagree to Arnold’s buying a car priced $ 1,000?
A.The car was not in good condition of driving.
B.The car was too expensive for Meade.
C.The car was beyond Arnold’s affordability.
D.The car had been donated to another person.
【3】What inspired Arnold to buy a car for Meade?
A.Her devotion to work. B.His duty as a policeman.
C.His sympathy for Meade. D.Her desire for a better life.
【4】What’s Meade’s feeling for the donated car?
A.Normal. B.Embarrassed.
C.Disappointed. D.Surprised.
29、Socrates was a classical Greek philosopher regarded as one of the founders of Western philosophy, and as being the first moral (道德的) philosopher. He made no writings, and is known mainly through the description of classical writers’ writing after his lifetime, particularly his students Plato and Xenophon. Aristophanes, a writer, is the only source to have written during his lifetime.
Socrates was born in Alopeke. He first worked as a sculptor, and created the statues of the Charites, which stood near the Acropolis until the 2nd century AD. Xenophon reports that because young men were not allowed to enter the Agora, they used to gather in shops surrounding it. Socrates often went to these shops in order to talk with the traders. Most famous among them was Simon, the Shoemaker.
Perhaps Socrates’ most important contribution to Western thought is his dialectic (辩证的) method of questioning, known as the Socratic method. It was first described by Plato in the Socratic Dialogues. To solve a problem, it would be broken down into a series of questions, the answers to which gradually collect the answer a person would look for. The development and practice of this method is a key point in earning his title as the father of moral philosophy in Western philosophy. The Socratic method has often been considered as a part of American education.
Socrates had a strong influence on philosophers in both ancient and modern times. Achievements of Socrates in art, literature and popular culture have made him one of the most widely known figures in the Western philosophical tradition.
【1】What do we know about Socrates?
A．He gets on well with his students.

D．He loves classical writers very much.
【2】Why did Socrates often go to the shop?
A．He wanted to look for his students.
B．He took an interest in making shoes.
C．He aimed at having a chat with sellers.

【3】What made Socrates the father of moral philosophy?
A．His dialectic method of questioning.
B．His practice of western philosophy.

【4】What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A．To require people to respect Socrates.

C．To show his love for a great philosopher.
D．To remember a great Greek philosopher.

Note that there is one word more than you need.
A Bad Idea
Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.
The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.
Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.
"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".
The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.
It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.
The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the top, ate the apples, sleep under the tree...He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by...The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day.
One day, the boy came back to the tree, looking quite sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a kid. I don’t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don’t have money...but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after that. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited.“Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house. Can you help me?” “Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches (树枝) to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was lonely and sad again.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted.“Come and play with me!” the tree said.“I am sad and getting tired. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk (树干) to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
