Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）Text 1Oumuamua,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 11/2017 UI, with the 'T' standing for "interstellar（星际）“一the first time this name has ever been used.That is exciting.Some scientists, though, entertain an even more exciting possibility: what if Oumuamua is not anasteroid（小行星）,as most think, but an alien（外星的）spacecraft? Asteroids come in 11 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-worthy 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.lt 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 ifs from soonB. Oumuamua real identity remains to be found outC. astronomers have not seen signs of Oumuamua artificial originD. the Green Bank telescope has already heard something from OumuamuaText 2I'm part of the Roots & Shoots program founded by Dr. Jane Goodall. The program is intended to make and promote positive changes in the world. As Dr. Goodall says, "What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”In Bulgaria, where I live, homeless dogs are everywhere. Many people here turn a blind eye to them. But I cannot ignore the life of a street dog whenever I see one wandering in the street, looking for something to eat. That's why I'm no longer a food waster. When I see wasted food, I always think of a hungry dog climbing to garbage bins, searching for food that people have thrown there. When eating in a restaurant, Tm not afraid to take leftover food to feed stray cats or dogs.A week ago, I saw a homeless dog around the garbage bins. Immediately I knelt down, spoke to her softly and ran my hands over her. I could see that she had had puppies. I couldn't imagine how she could have been able to care for them. Hours earlier, I'd bagged up a plate of leftover fish. As I unwrapped it, she wagged her tail and sniffed at it. She ate all the fish in no time.It's sad, isn't it? I can't understand why many of us waste so much and think little of it. These homeless animals have taught me that food is precious. Even when I don't have leftovers with me, I'll take the time to get something from the grocery store to feed them.I know my power is small, so I hope that next time you see wasted food, do turn it into worthy food. You have the power to save a life!1、 The author uses what Dr. Goodall says to show.A. how we can develop our businessB. why it is important to be greatC. why the program is popular globallyD. how we can change the world positively2、What can be concluded from the text?A.

No cellphones. This is not a reality show, but an adventure journey.“It was really perfect,“ said Julia Ruelle of her recent adventure to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness with three of her childhood friends. “By unplugging, we had an amazing time.”Last year, the 16-year-old took part in an essay contest and carried off a prize. The award was a 5-day canoe and camping adventure with up to three friends. No parents or guides would be there. So Julia invited her friends Anna Wander, Madeline Wilson and Julianna Torelli.The four Minnetonka High School juniors arrived in Ely for training the day before they began the journey. They set out the next day at 7 a.m., quickly developing a routine.“We were done paddling by noon J Julia said. "We ate lunch at the campsites and then it was time for hammocks（吊床）,reading, making friendship bracelets（手镯）and talking.”The girls all had some experience in the outdoors before.Anna had been to the Boundary Waters with her family. "I love how you are separated from everything in your life, especially technology,Anna said. Without her phone, she said, “I'm less worried about things." Madeline, too, had been to the Boundary Waters a few years back. "But this time, I had to paddle right and set up camp；' she said. The girls made fire and cooked meal together. No one was ever hungry or homesick, but they were nervous the final night as they waited out a thunderstorm. They left wet sleeping bags in one tent, and squeezed into another for the night. "Every thunderstorm in the Boundary Waters feels huge J Julia said.On the car ride home, they were all on their phones catching up with friends. "It was a little at a loss turning my phone on,“ said Anna. "Mental health can be improved so much in the Boundary Waters.

Languages usually have a relatively short life span as well as a very high death rate. Only a few, including Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, Latin, have lasted more than 2,000 years.What is new, however, is the speed at which they are dying out. Europe's colonial conquests caused a sharp decline in linguistic diversity, eliminating at least 15 percent of all languages spoken at the time. Over the last 300 years, Europe has lost a dozen, and Australia has only 20 left of the 250 spoken at the end of the 18th century.The rise of nation-states has also been decisive in selecting and consolidating national languages and sidelining others. By making great efforts to establish an official language in education, the media and the civil service, national governments have deliberately tried to eliminate minority languages.This process of linguistic standardization has been boosted by industrialization and scientific progress, which have imposed new methods of communication that are swift, straightforward and practical. Language diversity came to be seen as an obstacle to trade and the spread of knowledge. Monolingualism became an ideal.More recently, the internationalization of financial markets, the spread of information by electronic media and other aspects of globalization have intensified the threat to "smair, languages. A language not on the Internet is a language that “no longer exists" in the modern world. It is out of the game.The serious effects of the death of languages are evident. First of all, it is possible that if we all ended up speaking the same language, our brains would lose some of their natural capacity for linguistic inventiveness. We would never be able to figure out the origins of human language or resolve the mystery of nthe first language*1. As each language dies, a chapter of human history closes.Multilingualism is the most accurate reflection of multiculturalism. The destruction of the first will inevitably lead to the loss of the second. Imposing a language without any links to a people's culture and way of life stifles the expression of their collective genius. A language is not only used for the main instrument of human communication. It also expresses the world vision of those who speak it, their ways of using knowledge. To safeguard languages is an urgent matter.1、Which of the following does not contribute to the death of languages?A , Colonial conquests of EuropeB , The boom of human populationC. Advances in science and industrializationD. The rise of nation-states2、 The underlined word "stifles" in the last paragraph probably means "A. boostsB. fuelsC. imposesD. kills3、The serious effects of the death of languages include all except that.A. People would fail to understand how languages originatedB , Language diversity would become an obstacle to globalizationC. Monolingualism would lead to the loss of multiculturalismD. Human brains would become less creative linguistically4> What is the authors purpose of writing this passage?A. To explain the reasons why languages are dying out.B. To warn people of the negative aspects of globalization.C. To call people's attention to the urgency of language preservation.D. To argue how important it is for people to speak more languages.
