Wilkie Collins was born in London in 1824 and his first novel — a historical romance called Antonina — was published when he was 26 Shortly after this he met Charles Dickens and they formed a close friendship that lasted for ten years and influenced both men＇s writing Collins went on publishing 25 novels as well as many short stories plays and works of nonfiction However he is most wellknown for the two mysteries(悬疑事) The Woman in White and The Moonstone
Collins published both mysteries as serials in All the Year Round When it appeared in the magazine in 1860 The Woman in White was so popular that it became the subject of a song and a play It even influenced fashion and many women started to dress in white Eight years later The Moonstone was published and earned Collins the title the father of the modern English detective(侦探) novel TS Elliot another famous writer said that The Moonstone was the first and greatest of English detective novels and it is still admired by modern crime writers today
An author of many mysteries Dorothy L Sayers considered The Moonstone to be probably the finest detective story ever written and many people agree with her There are several reasons why they think so One is that Collins uses different characters to tell each section of the story The characters have very different personalities and voices which are interesting and often amusing There are also several features of the plot which start trends(趋) in mystery writing For example many detective stories are set in a country house where the theft must have been committed by one of the people in the house A number of modern films have also used the idea of a cursed(诅咒) jewel stolen from a religious statue And of course in The Moonstone and most other good mystery novels the person who at first seems the least likely to be the criminal turns out to be guilty

As the world＇s resources become rarer because of continuing land development and the growing human population the natural habitats of wild animals have continued to reduce As a result the survival of some species of wildlife is threatened To help protect wildlife a lot of practice should be carried out by the general public
Create homes for species that are endangered because of losing their own natural habitats Wildlife shelters should be developed and habitats should be created in existing national parks Efforts should also be made to protect existing habitats such as providing food and water and limiting hunting Breed (培育) endangered species in places such as zoos Once the young animals grow up they can be set free into the wild where their population will continue to grow
The general public may not realize that a species is endangered until it’s too late Educational programs making use of TV advertising and instructional meetings at national parks can be used to make the public aware of the situation
The general public can help protect the wildlife by not hunting wild animals for sport or for a source of food They should also stop supporting those who earn money from the illegal hunting of wild animals such as hunters who hunt wild animals for the only purpose of selling them for money
If there is no market for wild animals there will be no killing of these endangered species The public should avoid keeping wild animals as pets This will limit the number of wild animals being tracked trapped sold and removed from their natural habitats
1Many measures can be used to protect wild animals except ________
Acreating new habitats Bdeveloping wildlife shelters
Cprotecting the existing habitats Dsetting the young animals free into the wild
2The underlined words the situation in Paragraph 3 probably refer to the fact that _________
Apeople can do much to protect the endangered species
Bmany species are facing the danger of extinction
Cthe general public may not know the endangered species
Dhuman activities can affect the existence of endangered species
3What can we infer from the passage

CHunters get little money from hunting wild animals
DThe general public is doing nothing about protecting the wildlife now
4In which column of a newspaper can we find the passage

The death of languages is not a new phenomenon Languages usually have a short life span (寿命) as well as a very high death rate Only a few including Egyptian Chinese Greek Latin have lasted more than 2000 years
What is new however is the speed at which they are dying out Europe＇s colonial rule caused a sharp decrease in languages reducing at least 15 percent of all languages spoken at the time Over the last 300 years Europe has lost a dozen languages and Australia has only 20 left of the 250 languages spoken at the end of the 18th century
The rise of nationstates has also been decisive in selecting national languages By making great efforts to establish an official language in education and the media national governments have tried to reduce minority languages
This process of language standardization(标准化) has been improved by industrialization and scientific progress which have created new methods of communication that are fast straightforward and practical The various kinds of language came to be seen as an difficulty to trade and the spread of knowledge Monolingualism(单语言制) became an perfect choice
More recently the internationalization of financial markets the spread of information by electronic media and other aspects of globalization have led to the danger to small languages A language not on the Internet is a language that no longer exists in the modem world It is out of the game
The serious effects of the death of languages are clear First of all it is possible that if we all ended up speaking the same language our brains would lose some of their natural functions for language inventiveness We would never be able to figure out the origins of human language or resolve the mystery of the first language As each language dies a chapter of human history closes
Multilingualism(语制) is the best reflection of multiculturalism The destruction of the first will lead to the loss of the second Creating a language without any links to a people＇s culture and way of life stifles the expression of their language gift A language is not only used as the main instrument of human communication It also expresses the world view of those who speak it as well as their ways of using knowledge To safeguard languages is an urgent matter
1Which of the following does not contribute to the death of languages
AThe rise of nationstates BColonial rule from Europe
CThe increase of human population DAdvances in science and industrialization
2The underlined word stifles in the last paragraph probably means _______
Acheer Bkill Ccreate Dimprove
3The serious effects of the death of languages include all except that _______
Apeople would fail to understand how languages started
Bhuman brains would become less creative in languages
Cmonolingualism would lead to the loss of multiculturalism
Dthe death of languages would become a difficulty to realize globalization
4What is the author＇s purpose of writing this passage
ATo explain the reasons why languages are dying out
BTo warn people of the negative results of globalization
CTo argue how important it is for people to speak more languages
DTo draw peopled attention to the importance of language preservation

Several years ago I was living in New York and working for an airline so I never got back home for Christmas My Christmas was happy too with some other colleagues around But in my heart I was sad because I couldn＇t stay with my family Sometimes my colleagues would say our Christmas was filled with tears But this Christmas was different I was lucky I had the whole day off which meant I could stay with my family on Christmas Eve
When Christmas morning came I woke up with a small hand rubbing my face Dad Merry Christmas was all my younger son had time to say He seemed to be racing against time I knew he was hunting for gifts with his brother eagerly I got downstairs just to see the two little boys＇ faces as they looked at the pocket rockets Santa Claus had left to them I realized that the real Christmas was for the children who had deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus At first their fingers went almost shyly over their toys When their inspection(检查) had been completed the two boys ensured that the gifts were really delivered by Santa Claus and they dragged everything into the center of the living room
Delight flooded the room As their mother began giving out gifts I smiled to myself wondering how my unexpected gifts this year would be received With so many Christmas spent outside I had prepared so many gifts for my children and together with my wife I hid them in several secret places But the children were excellent detectives and they found all of them They were happily opening packages constantly thanking considerate Santa Claus for his kindness and ability to know their desires But I had not received a single one I knew they had forgotten my existence with my absence from their Christmas these years
Paragraph 1
I had to admit that my disappointment was growing steadily

What is new however is the speed at which they are dying out Europe＇s colonial rule caused a sharp decrease in languages reducing at least 15 percent of all languages spoken at the time Over the last 300 years Europe has lost a dozen languages and Australia has only 20 left of the 250 languages spoken at the end of the 18th century
The rise of nationstates has also been decisive in selecting national languages By making great efforts to establish an official language in education and the media national governments have tried to reduce minority languages
This process of language standardization(标准化) has been improved by industrialization and scientific progress which have created new methods of communication that are fast straightforward and practical The various kinds of language came to be seen as an difficulty to trade and the spread of knowledge Monolingualism(单语言制) became an perfect choice
More recently the internationalization of financial markets the spread of information by electronic media and other aspects of globalization have led to the danger to small languages A language not on the Internet is a language that no longer exists in the modem world It is out of the game
The serious effects of the death of languages are clear First of all it is possible that if we all ended up speaking the same language our brains would lose some of their natural functions for language inventiveness We would never be able to figure out the origins of human language or resolve the mystery of the first language As each language dies a chapter of human history closes
Multilingualism(语制) is the best reflection of multiculturalism The destruction of the first will lead to the loss of the second Creating a language without any links to a people＇s culture and way of life stifles the expression of their language gift A language is not only used as the main instrument of human communication It also expresses the world view of those who speak it as well as their ways of using knowledge To safeguard languages is an urgent matter
1Which of the following does not contribute to the death of languages
AThe rise of nationstates BColonial rule from Europe
CThe increase of human population DAdvances in science and industrialization
2The underlined word stifles in the last paragraph probably means _______
Acheer Bkill Ccreate Dimprove
3The serious effects of the death of languages include all except that _______
Apeople would fail to understand how languages started
Bhuman brains would become less creative in languages
Cmonolingualism would lead to the loss of multiculturalism
Dthe death of languages would become a difficulty to realize globalization
4What is the author＇s purpose of writing this passage
ATo explain the reasons why languages are dying out
BTo warn people of the negative results of globalization
CTo argue how important it is for people to speak more languages
DTo draw peopled attention to the importance of language preservation

Several years ago I was living in New York and working for an airline so I never got back home for Christmas My Christmas was happy too with some other colleagues around But in my heart I was sad because I couldn＇t stay with my family Sometimes my colleagues would say our Christmas was filled with tears But this Christmas was different I was lucky I had the whole day off which meant I could stay with my family on Christmas Eve
When Christmas morning came I woke up with a small hand rubbing my face Dad Merry Christmas was all my younger son had time to say He seemed to be racing against time I knew he was hunting for gifts with his brother eagerly I got downstairs just to see the two little boys＇ faces as they looked at the pocket rockets Santa Claus had left to them I realized that the real Christmas was for the children who had deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus At first their fingers went almost shyly over their toys When their inspection(检查) had been completed the two boys ensured that the gifts were really delivered by Santa Claus and they dragged everything into the center of the living room
Delight flooded the room As their mother began giving out gifts I smiled to myself wondering how my unexpected gifts this year would be received With so many Christmas spent outside I had prepared so many gifts for my children and together with my wife I hid them in several secret places But the children were excellent detectives and they found all of them They were happily opening packages constantly thanking considerate Santa Claus for his kindness and ability to know their desires But I had not received a single one I knew they had forgotten my existence with my absence from their Christmas these years
