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 ¨Chave 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 Introduction to 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 youngers.
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.
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ1¡¿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.
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ2¡¿What does ¡°that tradition¡± in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A£®Having first records of the languages

Once upon a time, there was a lovely vegetable field, on which grew a very thick tree. Both the vegetables and the tree gave the place a wonderful appearance, which was the joy of the garden¡¯s owner. What no one knew was that the vegetables in the field and the tree couldn¡¯t stand each other. The vegetables hated the tree¡¯s shadow, because it left them only just enough light to survive. The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water before it could get to him, leaving him with just enough to survive.
The situation became so extreme that the vegetables got totally fed up and decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would dry up. The tree answered back by refusing to give the vegetables shadow from the hot midday sun, so they both began to dry up. Before long, the vegetables were really thin and the tree¡¯s branches were drying up.
Neither of them thought that the gardener, on seeing his vegetable field becoming worse, would stop watering it. When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables really learned what thirst was. There seemed to be no solution, but one of the vegetables, a small courgette£¨Ð¡ºú¹Ï£©, understood what was going on, and decided to deal with it. Despite the little water and the unbearable heat, the little courgette did all he could to grow, grow...He managed to grow so big that the gardener started watering the field again. The gardener wanted to enter that beautiful big courgette in some gardening contest.
And so the vegetables and the tree realized that it was better to help each other than to fight. They should really learn how to live in harmony with those around them, doing the best they could. So they decided to work together, using both the shadow and the water in the best combination to grow good vegetables. Seeing how well they were doing, the gardener now gave the best of care to his vegetable field, watering it better than any other field for miles around.
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ1¡¿What is the problem between the tree and the vegetables?

A£®They looked down upon each other.
B£®They didn¡¯t leave water to each other.
C£®They couldn¡¯t stand each other.
D£®They didn¡¯t know how to protect themselves.
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ2¡¿What is the result of the fight between the tree and the vegetables?
A£®They grew taller and stronger.
B£®They were both drying up.
C£®The tree defeated the vegetables.
D£®The vegetables defeated the tree.
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ3¡¿The courgette thought of ways to solve the conflict by        .
A£®making peace with the tree B£®working together with other vegetables
C£®entering the gardening contests D£®growing big enough
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ4¡¿What can we learn from this passage?
A£®We ought to live in harmony with others.
B£®We ought to save as much water as possible.
C£®We ought to learn from each other in some ways.
D£®We ought to learn to respect each other.

Henry Ford grew up on an un-electrified farm, and as a young man he followed Edison's career as the inventor became a national role model. Ford took a job at the Edison Illuminating Company working his way up to chief engineer£®
In 1896 Ford was thirty-three and, though still working for Edison Co., he had created his first experimental automobile the Ford Quadricycle2 during his off-time. At an Edison company party in New York, Ford had his first chance to meet his hero Edison and was able to explain his new automobile to the great inventor. Edison was impressed. Edison is said to have slammed his fist down_and shouted, ¡°Young man, that's the thing! You have it! Your car is self-contained and carries its own power plant.¡± Edison himself had been working on the idea, but had only been considering electricity as the power source, so the idea of a gas engine was a somewhat new one£®
The words comforted Ford greatly, who immediately set out building a second car which was to become the Model-T.6. The two men became fast friends and would go on camping trips together£®When Edison later became limited to a wheelchair, Ford brought an extra one to his house so they could race£®At the 50th anniversary of the invention of light-bulb, Ford honored Edison£®When Edison spoke, he ended his speech directed at Ford, ¡° As to Henry Ford, words fail to express my feelings£®I can only say that he is my friend.¡± Therefore it is no surprise that Ford wanted something to remember Edison by after he passed away in 1931.
Once, Ford asked Thomas Edison's son Charles to sit by the dying inventor's bedside and hold a test tube next to his father's mouth to catch his final breath. Ford was a man with many strange behaviors (as was Edison) including some interest in reanimation and spiritualism£¨ÏÄ»îͨÁéÊõ£©and some say that he was attempting to catch Edison's soul as it escaped his body in hopes of later bringing the inventor back to life.
The test tube itself didn't turn up until 1950 when it was listed in the Ford possessions after Clara Ford's passing away, and then lost again until 1978 when it was discovered in an exhibit Entitled ¡°Henry Ford-A Personal History¡± in the Henry Ford Museum. It would then be discovered that the tube was labeled ¡°Edison's Last Breath¡±.
There is a further mystery of this ¡°last breath¡± test tube£®It would seem as if Edison had quite a last breath indeed, as the Edison Estate holds a collection of 42 test tubes all supposedly containing Edison's last breath£®
Regardless of the excitement over the last breath, the test tube is quite touching in its meaning£®Although both men were known for all sorts of poor behavior towards their loved ones and mistreatment of employees, between them at least, there was clearly a deep respect and admiration£®
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ1¡¿The purpose of the author writing this passage is to          .

A£®remind the readers of the importance of the two inventors
B£®stress the importance of friendship
C£®tell the readers some stories about the two inventors
D£®show that love can lead to some poor behaviors
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ2¡¿From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2, we can learn that       .
A£®Edison envied what Ford had achieved
B£®Edison was annoyed that Ford did better than him
C£®Edison was angry because Ford stole his idea
D£®Edison was extremely amazed at Ford's new idea
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ3¡¿¡°The 1ast breath test tube¡± can probably be regarded as       .
A£®a symbol of a friendship and memory
B£®a witness to a scientific breakthrough
C£®a failure to bring Edison back to life
D£®a sign of the two inventors' poor behavior
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ4¡¿It can be learned from the last paragraph that¡°      ¡±.
A£®Great minds think alike
B£®Nobody is perfect
C£®Two heads are better than one
D£®A friend in need is a friend indeed

One summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City, California, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time in the country when you¡¯d be considered a stupid person if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, thieves everywhere, ¡°I don¡¯t want to get involved¡± has become a national motto.
Several states later I was still thinking about the hitch-hiker(Ãâ·Ñ´î³µµÄÈË). Leaving him standing in the desert did not bother me so much. What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator(¼ÓËÙÆ÷).
Does anyone stop any more? I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois¡¯s family line: ¡°I have always depended on the kindness of the strangers¡±. Could anyone rely on the kindness of the strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying only on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of Americans would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, and carry him down the road?
The idea interested me.
So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I¡¯d have to conquer during the trip.
I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50-pound pack on my back and a sign displaying my destination to passing vehicles: ¡°America¡±.
For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, folks were always warning me about someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming; in Nebraska they said people would not be as nice as in Iowa. Yet I was amazed by people¡¯s readiness to help a stranger, even when it seemed against their own best interests.
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ1¡¿Why did the author drive past the young man in the desert without stopping?

A£®Because he failed to notice this man. 
B£®Because he was driving too fast. 
C£®Because he was afraid of being cheated. 
D£®Because he thought the young man didn¡¯t need help. 
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ2¡¿What was it that made the author upset?
A£®Making the decision of not offering help so easily. 
B£®Leaving the young man alone in the desert. 
C£®Being considered a fool. 
D£®Keeping thinking about the young man.

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week ago, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers (ÇÀ½Ù·¸). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment (¹«Ô¢·¿¼ä), I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn¡¯t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I¡¯d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (À¬»ø³µ) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, ¡° Alisa Camacho?¡± I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? the door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. ¡°Is this what you¡¯re looking for?¡± he asked, holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn¡¯t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn¡¯t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ1¡¿How did the write feel when she was walking home after work?

A£®Cold and sick B£®Fortunate and helpful

In the kitchen of my mother's houses there has always been a wooden stand with a small notepad and a hole for a pencil.
I¡¯m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can't be the same pencil. The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
¡°I'm just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years.¡± I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. ¡°You still use a pencil. Can¡¯t you afford a pen?¡±
My mother replies a little sharply. ¡°It works perfectly well. I've always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen these days. ¡±
Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, ¡°One day I was cooking and watching baby     Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.¡±
This story¡ªwhich happened before I was born¡ªreminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is also a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible exhibits at every meal.
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ1¡¿Why has the author's mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?

A£®To leave messages.
B£®To list her everyday tasks.
C£®To note down maths problems.
D£®To write down a flash of inspiration£¨Áé¸Ð£©.
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ2¡¿What is the author's original opinion about the wooden stand?
A£®It has great value for the family.
B£®It needs to be replaced by a better one.
C£®It brings her back to her lonely childhood.

¡¾Ð¡Ìâ3¡¿The author feels embarrassed for ______.
A£®blaming her mother wrongly
B£®giving her mother a lot of trouble
C£®not making good use of time as her mother did

A£®The mother is successful in her career.
B£®The family members like traveling.
C£®The author had little time to play when young.
D£®The marks on the breadboard have disappeared.
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ5¡¿In the author's mind, her mother is ______.

LONDON (Reuters Life!) ---- Forget about talking your children into considering life as a doctor or a teacher and start training them for the talent show.
A survey of British parents showed the aspirations (Ö¾Ïò) of their children are greatly different from what they dreamed about when considering who they wanted to be when they grew up.
Although astronaut (ÓԱ) still remains fairly high on the list of careers (ÊÂÒµ) kids dream about these days, others like doctor and teacher have been taken the place of by the desire (ÓûÍû) to win good name and money as a sporting hero, pop star or actor.
The parents of children aged 5 to 11 said the choice of lawyer had dropped by only one place on a top 10 list to sixth, while teacher had dropped to ninth from top in the last 25 or more years.
The survey for British TV channel ¡°Watch¡± found a great difference between the genders (ÐÔ±ð) of today¡¯s young people when compared with their parents¡¯ dreams 25 years or more ago.
Playing professional football, being an astronaut and joining the firefighting service topped the boys¡¯ choices, while girls are more likely to be dreaming of taking to the stage as a pop star or actress or joining the medical profession.
When asked what they would like their children to do for a living, today¡¯s parents still like the academic (ѧÊõµÄ) professions (Ö°Òµ), with law and medicine scoring highly, while being a boss came third.
Parents also praised job happiness above wealth (²Æ¸») when it comes to their hopes for their children.
Nearly 70 percent of the parents surveyed thought that they failed to follow their dreams when it came to their career, with 37 percent thinking it was caused by a lack of aspiration and not having the necessary conditions.
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ1¡¿From the passage we know that most parents still hope that in the future their children can take up ______.

A£®jobs such as musicians, singers and dancers
B£®jobs related to academic professions like lawyers and doctors
C£®jobs in which they will not be endangered
D£®jobs which will be well paid only
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ2¡¿According to the survey for British TV channel ¡°Watch¡±, which of the following is the boys¡¯ best career choice?
A£®A pop starB£®An actorC£®A doctorD£®A firefighter
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ3¡¿What can be learnt from the passage?
A£®Parents¡¯ hope for their children¡¯s career did not change too much.
B£®Parents pay much attention to the income of their children.
C£®Less than half of the parents who were surveyed didn¡¯t follow their dreams.
D£®Most parents didn¡¯t have the necessary conditions to realize their dreams.
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ4¡¿What is the main idea of the passage?
A£®Many reasons cause the change of children¡¯s dreams.
B£®Parents¡¯ dreams are different form children¡¯s.
C£®Parents are changing their own dreams.
D£®Children¡¯s dreams are always changing.
