to most of the worlds languages.Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages.But that isquickly changing.Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappearwithin the next 50 years.After 100 years,the languages used in the world will not bemore than 20.Why?It is because people from different cultures live and work together muchmore often than before.This brings changes.The languages of the worlds mainculture are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.Most international tradetakes place in world languages such as English.People respect their own cultures andtraditions,but when it comes to getting a job,knowing a world language is oftennecessary.It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way.Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countriesmuch knowledge about the world.But this knowledge doesnt come in words fromthe mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood.It usually comes in thelanguage of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language.They can quickly share ideas and work together.Knowing the same language meanseasier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe.Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about.Iftheir languages die,their valuable wisdom may be lost forever.The future of theworlds language depends on our actions now.Will we protect endangered languagesor allow them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.()1.Scientists say that within 50 years,perhaps,there will be only _languages in the world.A.4,000B.over 3,000C.around 3,000D.no more than20()2.In“the languages of the worlds main culture s are replacing thelanguages of the smaller cultures.”the verb“replace”means“_”.A.to put something back into a

major worldlanguage,_.A.radio and television would all use the languageB.it would be easier for them to share their ideasC.lesson s at schools would be taught in the languageD.people would respect their own culture more参考答案：CBBBHave you wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colours?Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds,especially seagulls are very fond of locusts(飞蝗),but birds cant easilycatch locusts because locusts change their colours together with the change of thecolour of crops.When crops are green,locusts look green.But when crops are ripe,locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have.Some other pests withdifferent colours from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies.Sothey have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world,you will find the main use ofcolouring is to protect them.Bears,wolves and other beasts move quietly throughforests.They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters,because they have the colourmuch like the barks of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed.Akind of fish living in seas can sendout a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger.While the liquid is over,itsenemies cannot find it,and it quickly swims away.Thus,it has existed up to nowthough it is not powerful at all.()4.Locusts are pests but they arent easily wiped out by their enemies because_.A.they are powerful enoughB.they are dangerous to their enemiesC.they take on the same colours as

of liquid which makes its enemies unable to find itD.the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies参考答案：CAACCCaptain James Cook was a great explorer.Before he started exploring,maps ofthe Pacific Ocean

friends,family and other Internet users.Butyoud be wrong.Websites and social networks track your location and search historyand make assumptions about your age,race,sex and political views.They then showads they believe to be the most relevant,in order to maximize clicks,but personalizewhich results you see by eliminating what they think is irrelevant.This is sold to the public as positive,making each web session relevant andinteresting,yet it is leading researchers to fear this could widen divides between theNorth and South,rich and poor,and young and old.For example,in terms of wealth,if users are only ever shown particular products and job advertisements based on howmuch they earn or where they live,these users will never be given the opportunities toincrease their wealth,or how much they spend on items.Princeton University has created bots（自动程序）,each with their own fakeprofiles.These bots have different fake ages and sexes,earn different levels of money,are virtually(虚拟地)based in various locations around the world and have differentinterests.By using these bots to scan and research the web,the researchers hope tocreate a picture of not only what each of them sees,but also what sites they aremissing out on.According to lead researcher,Arvind Narayanan,“Our goal is a web privacycensus（普查）which will be a comprehensive map of who are collecting whatinformation,what they are inferring from it,and who they are sharing it with.It is animportant step in our final goal of figuring out how users are treated based on thatinformation.”Personalization also has its benefits.Shopping sites such as Amazon and eBay canscan a users search and purchase history to offer suggestions.This can help findsimilar,cheaper items or items that are more suited to their needs at a glance.Its alsopossible to disable personalized ads and results.Googles search engine lets youswitch off personalization,for example.Researchers from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona and Yahoo felt theissue was so potentially damaging,and they have also created a way to“burst thefilter(过滤)bubble”.They believe that just because people have opposing views oncertain topics it doesnt mean they wont share interests with others.()12.The underlined word“eliminating”in Paragraph 1 probably means“_”.A.decoratingB.removingC.personalizingD.protecting()13.Princeton University created bots to _.A.explain why different websites are personalizedB.offer users some advice on how to protect privacyC.assess how personalization is affecting Internet usersD.stress the advantages and disadvantages of personalization of websites()14.Which of the following websites have done something to cut offpersonalization?A.Google and YahooB.eBay and GoogleC.Amazon and eBayD.Amazon and Yahoo()15.What is this passage mainly about?A.Different websites are doing something to offer quality service.B.Personalized ads and search results could be creating different web pages.C.Personalization of different sites will lead to users privacy being violated.D.Personalization of shopping sites makes online shopping more convenient.参考答案：BCAB第二节第二节（共（共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5 分）分）What makes one person more intelligent than another?What makes one person agenius,like the brilliantAlbert Einstein,and another person a fool?Are people bornintelligent or stupid,or is intelligence the result of where and how you live?16We know,however,that just being born with a good mind is not enough.In someways,the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.17Mental exercise isparticularly important for young children.Many child psychologists think that parentsshould play with their children more often and give them problems to think about.18If,on the other hand,children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do,they aremore likely to become dull and unintelligent.19According to some psychologists,if parents are always tellinga child that he or she is a fool or an idiot,then the child is more likely to keep doingsilly and foolish things.So it is probably better for parents to say very positive thingsto their children,such as“That was a very clever thing you did.”or“20”A.Ahealthy body contributes to ones intelligence.B.Parents should also be careful about what they say to young children.C.What people want to express is like this.D.The children are then more likely to grow up bright and
