Experts say there are about 6 500 languages spoken throughout the world But the United Nations estimates that about half of these languages are in danger of disappearing
One nonprofit organization seeking to save world languages is a New Yorkbased group called Wikitongues Officials from Wikitongues say the organization has a simple goal to provide the tools and support that people need to save their languages
Udell is the cofounder of Wikitongues He said when a language disappears many other things can go away as well For example parts of a community's culture knowledge and identity can also be lost Udell believes the process of bringing languages back must be done by community members themselves from the ground up he said
There is no way an outside organization can save someone's language for them
Wikitongues was launched in 2016 as an open internet collection of world languages The selfdescribed community is operated by volunteers from around the world The collection is in the form of language videos that people add to the Wikitongues website
There are currently more than 400 languages and dialects represented on Wikitongues' YouTube channel Udell says more than 1500 people from 70 different countries have added videos to the system
We have people from India who record dozens of languages which is beyond their own he said
One of Wikitongues'volunteers is Kolokwe who lives in Namibia His native language is Subiya however he does not get the chance to speak his native language every day Like many other educated people from his area he speaks a lot of English and Afrikaans
Kolokwe is hoping his involvement with Wikitongues call help keep Subiya and other African languages from going extinct He wants the world to know about his language But his goal goes beyond just sharing his language with others through video He is also working to create a dictionary and language teaching materials that can be used in schools
24Which of the following is true of Wikitongues
AIt was founded by the United Nations
BOfficials from it want to make money
CIt contributes to saving languages
D1500 languages are uploaded on its website
25What is the result of the disappearance of the languages
APeople are uncertain about who they are
BAll the customs and beliefs are still existing
CPeople can not communicate with each other
DThe community becomes more independent
26What can we infer from the opinion of Udell
AThe majority of languages have been saved
BWikitongues can save languages disappearing
CInternet plays a more important part than volunteers
DOnly community members can save their own languages
27Why is Kolokwe involved in volunteering
AHe has no chance to speak his native language
BHe dislikes speaking English and Afrikaans
CHe wants to stop his native language dying out
DHe hopes to teach his language in school himself
C
Imagine a cat that does not need someone to clean up after it keeps an older person company and helps them remember to take their medicine That is the shared dream of the toy maker Hasbro and scientists at Brown University in Providence Rhode Island The researchers received a 3milliondollar award from the National Science Foundation for a special project They want to find ways to add artificial intelligence or AI to Hasbro's Joy for All robotic cat
The cat has already been for sale for two years Though priced over 1000 dollars it sold quite well It was meant to act as a companion for older people Now the project is aimed at developing additional abilities for the cat Researchers at Brown's HumanityCentered Robotics Initiative are working to decide which activities older adults may need the most They hope to make the cat perform a small number of activities very well Such activities include finding lost objects and reminding the person to take medicine or visit their doctor They also want to keep the cost down to just a few hundred dollars
It is an idea that has appealed to Jeanne Elliott Her 93yearold mother Mary Derr lives with her in South Kingstown Derr has dementia (痴呆) The Joy for All cat that Elliott bought this year has become a true companion for Derr The cat stays with Derr and keeps her calm while Elliott is at work Elliott said a robotic cat that helps her mother to remember to take her medicine and be careful when she walks would be greater
The researchers are trying to learn how the improved cats will complete helpful activities and how they will communicate They say that they do not want a talking cat however Instead they are trying to design a cat that can move its head in a special way to successfully communicate its message In the end they hope to create an exchange between the human and the cat in which the human feels the cat needs them By doing so the researchers hope they can even help prevent feelings of loneliness and sadness among elderly people
28What's the purpose of the project
ATo relieve the pain of the elderly BTo promote the sales of a medicine
CTo invent a robotic cat for the elderly DTo help make the robotic cat smarter
29Compared with the old model the new robotic cat will be
Asmaller Bcheaper Cmore talkative Dmore expensive
30What does Paragraph 3 intend to tell us
AThe cat gives much help to the elderly BThe more functions of the cat the better
CThere is no cure for dementia at present DMary Derr would have died without the cat
31What can we infer from the last paragraph
AA talking cat is quite popular among the elderly
BFeelings of sadness among the elderly are unavoidable
CEach family can afford such a cat in the future
DThe feeling of being needed is vital to the elderly
D
Everyone is eager for happiness As long as you analyze people's actions you will draw the conclusion that they all seek happiness Every act is in fact a search for it even if on the surface it doesn't look so Happiness is always the main target
Going to the movies eating in a restaurant and going to a party are all motivated by the desire to be happy Who does not dream of a vacation in some fascinating locations a new car a new house or the ideal match All people daydream and some even try to make their dream a reality And why is that In order to be happy
Many people endanger themselves by climbing steep mountains entering unexplored caves or diving into the deep of the ocean in order to enjoy the few moments of happiness A thief may steal because he loves the thrill of danger or because he desires to have quick money to spend He is actually looking for happiness though in a perverted way
Of course not all actions end in happiness The motive is happiness but the results do not always bring the desire According to some spiritual traditions we are spiritual beings in physical bodies The spiritual part is always happy Rather it is happiness itself But the physical body covers this happiness essence There is a constant desire to find out this happiness This is the reason why happiness is constantly sought
However there is no need to search for happiness or to create it or to have all kinds of outer experiences and actions in order to feel it On the contrary everything has to be dropped in order to experience it Every technique which helps to relax the mind and calm the rush of thoughts will lead to happiness
32From the first two paragraphs we can learn that ________
Amany things people do are to attain happiness B it is very hard to analyze people's actions
Chappiness is a daydream Done should act carefully so as not to show his purpose
33The underlined word perverted in Paragraph 3 most likely means ______
Aillegal Bunfair Ccautious Ddifficult
34According to the author why do people seek happiness all the time
AAll actions don't result in the expected happiness
BThere is little awareness of the nature of happiness
COne's physical body is controlled by his spiritual part
DPeople are so greedy that it's hard to satisfy their desires
35What is the author's attitude towards seeking happiness
AObjective
BFavourable CDoubtful DDisapproving

Where you choose to stay can make or break your vacation experience But even the most experienced travelers may not know the difference between the two main types —hotels and motels 36 The answer isn't as simple as you'd think
These two types of lodging(住宿)have the same basic purpose—a place for travelers to sleep______37______ For instance they came to be for different reaso
ns and at very different times
The word hotel dates back to the 1600s and comes from a French word htel That word just like the English one referred to a place that provides lodging meals entertainment and other services to travelers 38 This word dates back to the 1920s and combines the words hotel and motor As America's major highway system developed so did motels filling the need for roadside stops for motorists traveling crosscountry
39 Hotels tend to be built for longer stays while motels are intended more for oneor twonight stops along a journey Because of this hotels are much more likely to have offerings like lounges（休息室） gyms and entertainment
40 Want the place you stay to be just as much a part of your travel experience as anything else Choose a hotel Just need a place to pop in and out of to shower and sleep A motel might be the better choice
A There are many secrets that hotels won't tell you
B But there are plenty of features that set them apart
C Have you ever stayed in a motel on your vacation
D Motels on the other hand are a much more recent lodging option
E Besides their first letters is there any real difference between them
F So in the end it comes down to what you want from y
our trip and from your lodging
G There are also other differences that can help you figure out which type of place you're in

Reading can be a social activity Think of the people who belong to book groups They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them Now the website Bookcrossingcom turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share Bookcrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book Then the person leaves it in a public place hoping that the book will have an adventure traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it
Bruce Pederson the managing director of Bookcrossing says The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read Bookcrossing combines both
Members leave books on park benches and buses in train stations and coffee shops Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it Emails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home
Bookcrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the real and not the virtual(虚拟) The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirtyfive countries

My first impression of Miss Vicki was a highly authoritative(权威) person towering over me She spoke in a loud voice and the earth shook whenever she marched That was in the first year of high school She was a knowledgeable literature teacher then However during my first year in school she struck terror into my heart(胆战心惊) And everyone else’s of course Just the mention of her name made the most unruly classes silent
Nevertheless the two years of junior high passed by rather quickly Soon I went to senior high class I had worked hard and gotten the subject combination that I wished for Together with a group of old friends I soon settled down in class comfortably
To everyone’s surprise she was fortunate enough to be my teacher that year I was shocked when I heard the news This time round however I decided not to hide in terror whenever she was near I decided to face the fact that we were going to meet each other for the next 365 days Instead of trying too hard to lick her boots I tried my best to my natural self in front of her
Still I could not shake off the icecold impression that she put in my heart True her jokes sometimes sent me into fits of laughter yet at other times these jokes simply fell flat the moment she told them My lovely class however was already ready to laugh at the right time of her amusing stories After all we would not want to run the risk of provoking(激怒) her
Unluckily life was not to remain boring One day we received news that Miss Vicki was to leave Singapore for the Philippines where she would take part in a voluntary teaching program for the poor We did not know what to say actually All of us cried at the airport
8 During the first year in school the author thought Miss Vicki was_______
A proud but patient B beautiful but strict
C scholarly but serious D humorous but singleminded
9 What does the underlined phrase lick her boots in Paragraph 3 mean
A Win her favor B Embarrass her
C Argue with her D Follow her closely
10 What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A Miss Vicki was a good joke teller
B Miss Vicki’s jokes were always boring
C Students liked Miss Vicki’s class very much
D Students pretended to laugh to please Miss Vicki
11 What can we infer about Miss Vicki from the last paragraph

C She was unwilling to leave her students
D She had a strong sense of social responsibility

Alongside air and water food is a necessity for human beings to survive and thrive (蓬勃发展) But it’s a lot more than that As Mariette DiChristina of Scientific American wrote The most intimate (亲密) relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow human being Instead it is between our bodies and our food
Nowadays for most people in the world’s wealthiest countries food is a hobby an enthusiasm and even something fashionable
Turn on the TV in the US UK or France and you’ll find at least one channel feeding this popular obsession (迷恋)
And most of us know at least one person who thinks of themselves as a foodie It’s almost impossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at least two or three photos of delicious meals appearing on our screen － however annoying we may find it
But behind the fancy recipes and social media bragging (夸耀) many of us forget how much we take food for granted
This is why World Food Day is held each year by the United Nations on Oct 16 The day allows the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization to highlight (强调) both the progress that has been made against hunger and the awful amount of progress that still needs to be made
Take Kenya for example This East African nation has been suffering terrible droughts some of the worst in recent years The result is that people are beginning to starve Children in particular are suffering with some of them even dying
This may seem shocking to know especially as many cultures outside of Africa think of food in a completely different way But even in developed nations in the West families on low incomes are forced to use food banks － organizations that hand out donated food to those who can’t afford to pay for it themselves
So what can we do on World Food Day One good way to spend it would be to feel humble and appreciate what we have After all food is essential for our survival but not everyone is as lucky as we are when it comes to dinner time
12 The author borrowed Mariette DiChristina’s words to ______
A discuss the latest trend in the food industry
B point out the food shortage problem in the world
C emphasize the connection between food and humanity
D show the importance of food for human survival
13 According to the article food shows on TV in the US UK and France ______
A have turned many people into foodies
B are very popular among viewers
C will soon be replaced by social media apps
D often mislead people’s opinion of food issues
14 World Food Day is celebrated to ______
A raise awareness of the issues behind hunger
B share fancy recipes and promote food cultures
C call on people to donate food to those in need
D inform people of the food crisis in Africa
15 The author suggests in the last paragraph that people should ______
A give more food to charity B share food with their neighbors
C feel grateful for the food they eat D skip meals sometimes to save food

Experts say there are about 6 500 languages spoken throughout the world But the United Nations estimates that about half of these languages are in danger of disappearing
One nonprofit organization seeking to save world languages is a New Yorkbased group called Wikitongues Officials from Wikitongues say the organization has a simple goal to provide the tools and support that people need to save their languages
Udell is the cofounder of Wikitongues He said when a language disappears many other things can go away as well For example parts of a community's culture knowledge and identity can also be lost Udell believes the process of bringing languages back must be done by community members themselves from the ground up he said
There is no way an outside organization can save someone's language for them
Wikitongues was launched in 2016 as an open internet collection of world languages The selfdescribed community is operated by volunteers from around the world The collection is in the form of language videos that people add to the Wikitongues website
There are currently more than 400 languages and dialects represented on Wikitongues' YouTube channel Udell says more than 1500 people from 70 different countries have added videos to the system
We have people from India who record dozens of languages which is beyond their own he said
One of Wikitongues'volunteers is Kolokwe who lives in Namibia His native language is Subiya however he does not get the chance to speak his native language every day Like many other educated people from his area he speaks a lot of English and Afrikaans
Kolokwe is hoping his involvement with Wikitongues call help keep Subiya and other African languages from going extinct He wants the world to know about his language But his goal goes beyond just sharing his language with others through video He is also working to create a dictionary and language teaching materials that can be used in schools
24Which of the following is true of Wikitongues
AIt was founded by the United Nations
BOfficials from it want to make money
CIt contributes to saving languages
D1500 languages are uploaded on its website
25What is the result of the disappearance of the languages
APeople are uncertain about who they are
BAll the customs and beliefs are still existing
CPeople can not communicate with each other
DThe community becomes more independent
26What can we infer from the opinion of Udell
AThe majority of languages have been saved
BWikitongues can save languages disappearing
CInternet plays a more important part than volunteers
DOnly community members can save their own languages
27Why is Kolokwe involved in volunteering
AHe has no chance to speak his native language
BHe dislikes speaking English and Afrikaans
CHe wants to stop his native language dying out
DHe hopes to teach his language in school himself
C
Imagine a cat that does not need someone to clean up after it keeps an older person company and helps them remember to take their medicine That is the shared dream of the toy maker Hasbro and scientists at Brown University in Providence Rhode Island The researchers received a 3milliondollar award from the National Science Foundation for a special project They want to find ways to add artificial intelligence or AI to Hasbro's Joy for All robotic cat
The cat has already been for sale for two years Though priced over 1000 dollars it sold quite well It was meant to act as a companion for older people Now the project is aimed at developing additional abilities for the cat Researchers at Brown's HumanityCentered Robotics Initiative are working to decide which activities older adults may need the most They hope to make the cat perform a small number of activities very well Such activities include finding lost objects and reminding the person to take medicine or visit their doctor They also want to keep the cost down to just a few hundred dollars
It is an idea that has appealed to Jeanne Elliott Her 93yearold mother Mary Derr lives with her in South Kingstown Derr has dementia (痴呆) The Joy for All cat that Elliott bought this year has become a true companion for Derr The cat stays with Derr and keeps her calm while Elliott is at work Elliott said a robotic cat that helps her mother to remember to take her medicine and be careful when she walks would be greater
The researchers are trying to learn how the improved cats will complete helpful activities and how they will communicate They say that they do not want a talking cat however Instead they are trying to design a cat that can move its head in a special way to successfully communicate its message In the end they hope to create an exchange between the human and the cat in which the human feels the cat needs them By doing so the researchers hope they can even help prevent feelings of loneliness and sadness among elderly people
28What's the purpose of the project
ATo relieve the pain of the elderly BTo promote the sales of a medicine
CTo invent a robotic cat for the elderly DTo help make the robotic cat smarter
29Compared with the old model the new robotic cat will be
Asmaller Bcheaper Cmore talkative Dmore expensive
30What does Paragraph 3 intend to tell us
AThe cat gives much help to the elderly BThe more functions of the cat the better
CThere is no cure for dementia at present DMary Derr would have died without the cat
31What can we infer from the last paragraph
AA talking cat is quite popular among the elderly
BFeelings of sadness among the elderly are unavoidable
CEach family can afford such a cat in the future
DThe feeling of being needed is vital to the elderly
D
Everyone is eager for happiness As long as you analyze people's actions you will draw the conclusion that they all seek happiness Every act is in fact a search for it even if on the surface it doesn't look so Happiness is always the main target
Going to the movies eating in a restaurant and going to a party are all motivated by the desire to be happy Who does not dream of a vacation in some fascinating locations a new car a new house or the ideal match All people daydream and some even try to make their dream a reality And why is that In order to be happy
Many people endanger themselves by climbing steep mountains entering unexplored caves or diving into the deep of the ocean in order to enjoy the few moments of happiness A thief may steal because he loves the thrill of danger or because he desires to have quick money to spend He is actually looking for happiness though in a perverted way
Of course not all actions end in happiness The motive is happiness but the results do not always bring the desire According to some spiritual traditions we are spiritual beings in physical bodies The spiritual part is always happy Rather it is happiness itself But the physical body covers this happiness essence There is a constant desire to find out this happiness This is the reason why happiness is constantly sought
However there is no need to search for happiness or to create it or to have all kinds of outer experiences and actions in order to feel it On the contrary everything has to be dropped in order to experience it Every technique which helps to relax the mind and calm the rush of thoughts will lead to happiness
32From the first two paragraphs we can learn that ________
Amany things people do are to attain happiness B it is very hard to analyze people's actions
Chappiness is a daydream Done should act carefully so as not to show his purpose
33The underlined word perverted in Paragraph 3 most likely means ______
Aillegal Bunfair Ccautious Ddifficult
34According to the author why do people seek happiness all the time
AAll actions don't result in the expected happiness
BThere is little awareness of the nature of happiness
COne's physical body is controlled by his spiritual part
DPeople are so greedy that it's hard to satisfy their desires
35What is the author's attitude towards seeking happiness
AObjective
BFavourable CDoubtful DDisapproving

Where you choose to stay can make or break your vacation experience But even the most experienced travelers may not know the difference between the two main types —hotels and motels 36 The answer isn't as simple as you'd think
These two types of lodging(住宿)have the same basic purpose—a place for travelers to sleep______37______ For instance they came to be for different reaso
ns and at very different times
The word hotel dates back to the 1600s and comes from a French word htel That word just like the English one referred to a place that provides lodging meals entertainment and other services to travelers 38 This word dates back to the 1920s and combines the words hotel and motor As America's major highway system developed so did motels filling the need for roadside stops for motorists traveling crosscountry
39 Hotels tend to be built for longer stays while motels are intended more for oneor twonight stops along a journey Because of this hotels are much more likely to have offerings like lounges（休息室） gyms and entertainment
40 Want the place you stay to be just as much a part of your travel experience as anything else Choose a hotel Just need a place to pop in and out of to shower and sleep A motel might be the better choice
A There are many secrets that hotels won't tell you
B But there are plenty of features that set them apart
C Have you ever stayed in a motel on your vacation
D Motels on the other hand are a much more recent lodging option
E Besides their first letters is there any real difference between them
F So in the end it comes down to what you want from y
our trip and from your lodging
G There are also other differences that can help you figure out which type of place you're in

Reading can be a social activity Think of the people who belong to book groups They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them Now the website Bookcrossingcom turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share Bookcrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book Then the person leaves it in a public place hoping that the book will have an adventure traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it
Bruce Pederson the managing director of Bookcrossing says The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read Bookcrossing combines both
Members leave books on park benches and buses in train stations and coffee shops Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it Emails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home
Bookcrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the real and not the virtual(虚拟) The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirtyfive countries

My first impression of Miss Vicki was a highly authoritative(权威) person towering over me She spoke in a loud voice and the earth shook whenever she marched That was in the first year of high school She was a knowledgeable literature teacher then However during my first year in school she struck terror into my heart(胆战心惊) And everyone else’s of course Just the mention of her name made the most unruly classes silent
Nevertheless the two years of junior high passed by rather quickly Soon I went to senior high class I had worked hard and gotten the subject combination that I wished for Together with a group of old friends I soon settled down in class comfortably
To everyone’s surprise she was fortunate enough to be my teacher that year I was shocked when I heard the news This time round however I decided not to hide in terror whenever she was near I decided to face the fact that we were going to meet each other for the next 365 days Instead of trying too hard to lick her boots I tried my best to my natural self in front of her
Still I could not shake off the icecold impression that she put in my heart True her jokes sometimes sent me into fits of laughter yet at other times these jokes simply fell flat the moment she told them My lovely class however was already ready to laugh at the right time of her amusing stories After all we would not want to run the risk of provoking(激怒) her
Unluckily life was not to remain boring One day we received news that Miss Vicki was to leave Singapore for the Philippines where she would take part in a voluntary teaching program for the poor We did not know what to say actually All of us cried at the airport
8 During the first year in school the author thought Miss Vicki was_______
A proud but patient B beautiful but strict
C scholarly but serious D humorous but singleminded
9 What does the underlined phrase lick her boots in Paragraph 3 mean
A Win her favor B Embarrass her
C Argue with her D Follow her closely
10 What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A Miss Vicki was a good joke teller
B Miss Vicki’s jokes were always boring
C Students liked Miss Vicki’s class very much
D Students pretended to laugh to please Miss Vicki
11 What can we infer about Miss Vicki from the last paragraph
A She was fired by the school
B She was not accepted by the students
C She was unwilling to leave her students
D She had a strong sense of social responsibility
D
Alongside air and water food is a necessity for human beings to survive and thrive (蓬勃发展) But it’s a lot more than that As Mariette DiChristina of Scientific American wrote The most intimate (亲密) relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow human being Instead it is between our bodies and our food
Nowadays for most people in the world’s wealthiest countries food is a hobby an enthusiasm and even something fashionable
Turn on the TV in the US UK or France and you’ll find at least one channel feeding this popular obsession (迷恋)
And most of us know at least one person who thinks of themselves as a foodie It’s almost impossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at least two or three photos of delicious meals appearing on our screen － however annoying we may find it
But behind the fancy recipes and social media bragging (夸耀) many of us forget how much we take food for granted
This is why World Food Day is held each year by the United Nations on Oct 16 The day allows the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization to highlight (强调) both the progress that has been made against hunger and the awful amount of progress that still needs to be made
Take Kenya for example This East African nation has been suffering terrible droughts some of the worst in recent years The result is that people are beginning to starve Children in particular are suffering with some of them even dying
This may seem shocking to know especially as many cultures outside of Africa think of food in a completely different way But even in developed nations in the West families on low incomes are forced to use food banks － organizations that hand out donated food to those who can’t afford to pay for it themselves
So what can we do on World Food Day One good way to spend it would be to feel humble and appreciate what we have After all food is essential for our survival but not everyone is as lucky as we are when it comes to dinner time
12 The author borrowed Mariette DiChristina’s words to ______
A discuss the latest trend in the food industry
B point out the food shortage problem in the world
C emphasize the connection between food and humanity
D show the importance of food for human survival
13 According to the article food shows on TV in the US UK and France ______
A have turned many people into foodies
B are very popular among viewers
C will soon be replaced by social media apps
D often mislead people’s opinion of food issues
14 World Food Day is celebrated to ______
A raise awareness of the issues behind hunger
B share fancy recipes and promote food cultures
C call on people to donate food to those in need
D inform people of the food crisis in Africa
15 The author suggests in the last paragraph that people should ______
A give more food to charity B share food with their neighbors
C feel grateful for the food they eat D skip meals sometimes to save food
