Choose the best word or phrase for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1. 25 When Carios Westez died at the age of 76, a language died, too. Westez, more commonly known as Red Thunder Cloud, was the last speaker of the Native Am

18、erican language Catawba. Anyone who wants to hear the songs of the Catawba can contact the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D. C., where, back in the 1940s, Red Thunder Cloud recorded a series of songs for future generations.【 B1】 _ They are all that is left of the Catawba language. The langua

19、ge that people used to speak is gone forever. We are all aware of the danger that modern industry can do to the world s ecology (生态 ). However, few people are aware of the impact widely spoken languages have on other languages and ways of life. English has spread all over the world. Chinese, Spanish

20、, Russian, and Hindi have become powerful languages as well.【 B2】 _ When this happens, hundreds of languages that are spoken by only a few die out. Scholars believe there are around 6,000 languages around the world, but more than half of them could die out within the next 100 years. There are many e

21、xamples. Araki is the language of the island of Vanuatu, located in the Pacific Ocean. It is spoken by only a few older adults, so like Catawba, Araki will soon disappear. Many languages of Ethiopia will have the same fate because each one has only a few speakers.【 B3】 _ In the Americas, 100 languag

22、es, each of which has fewer than 300 speakers, are dying out. Red Thunder Cloud was one of the first to recognize the danger of language death and to try to do something about it. He was not actually bomb into the Catawba tribe, and the language was not his mother tongue.【 B4】 _ The songs he sang fo

23、r the Smithsonian Institution helped to make Native American music popular. Now he is gone, and the language is dead. What does it mean for the rest of us when a language disappears? When a plant, insect, or animal species dies, it is easy to understand what has been lost and to appreciate what it m

24、eans for the balance of the natural world. However, language is only a product of the mind. To be the last remaining speaker of a language, like Red Thunder, must be a peculiarly lonely destiny, almost as strange and terrible as being the last surviving member of a dying species.【 B5】 _ A Some peopl

25、e might want to learn some of these songs by hearts. B Most languages have become less and less speakers. C However, he was a frequent visitor to the Catawba reservation in South Carcinoma where he learned the language. D These languages don t have many native speakers. E For the rest of us, when a

26、language dies, we lose the possibility of a unique way of seeing and describing the world. F As these language become more powerful, their use as tools of business and culture increase, as well. G Papus New Guines is an extremely rich source of different language, but more than 100 of them are in da

A generation ago, female faces were【 C2】 _ and, even today, visitors walking through the first floor of LeConte Hall will see a full corridor of exhibits【 C3】 _ the many distinguished physicists who made history

29、 here,【 C4】 _ all of them white males. But climb up to the third floor and youll see a【 C5】 _ display. There, among the photos of current faculty members and students, are portraits of the【 C6】 _ head of the department, Marjorie Shapiro, and four other women whose research【 C7】_ everything from the

Although theyre still only about 10 percent of the physics faculty, women are clearly a presence here. And the real【 C8】_ may be in the smaller photos to the right; graduate and undergraduate s

Answer the quest

33、ions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 40 Mistakes are the things that nobody wants, but we still make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. Some are about work or jobs. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I

34、broke up with Helen?“ “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?“ “And why didnt Andy pick up that I was friendly just because 1 had a car?“ When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, its too late. Why do

35、we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. We need to listen and think for some time. And if we dont really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “Youre a lucky dog“ thats being friendly. But “lucky dog“? Theres

36、 a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the “dog“ bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesnt think you deserve your luck. “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for“ is another noise that says one thing and means another.

37、 It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isnt important. Its telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you havent got a date for Saturday nig

38、ht. How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meanin

39、g of what people say to you may save another mistake. 41 This passage is mainly about_. （ A） how to interpret what people say （ B） what to do when you listen to others talking （ C） how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people （ D） why we go wrong with people sometimes 42 According to the a

40、uthor, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that_. （ A） we fail to listen carefully when they talk （ B） people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say （ C） people usually state one thing but means another （ D） we tend to doubt what our friends say 43 In the sentence “Maybe he doesn

41、t see it himself“ in the second paragraph, the pronoun “ it“ refers to_. （ A） being friendly （ B） a bit of envy （ C） lucky dog （ D） your luck 44 When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is_. （ A） notice the way the person is talking （ B） take a good look at the perso

42、n talking （ C） mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes （ D） examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture 45 The author most probably is a_. （ A） teacher （ B） philosopher （ C） psychologist （ D） doctor 45 SMS (Short Message Service) gradually becom

43、es the main service for cell phone users for its great charming. In addition, the development of mobile communications technology and service has created favorable condition for SMS. For example, MMS, multi-media messaging service, is a new type of message service on the basis of SMS. It allows tran

44、smission of multi-media messages between cell phone and computer, as well as between cell phones. Communication with SMS is quite convenient. You can write a message after carefully thinking what you want to say with many words without worrying about money. Actually, SMS enjoys the absolute majority

45、 utilization among mobile service. In China, the number of short message transmitted is 2,200 billion in 2003. People, however, feel angry and anxious sometimes while enjoying SMS. More and more rubbish short messages that contain such content as erotic, gambling, or advertising are sent to cell pho

46、ne users, which seriously violated the users privacy. Because the sender of these rubbish short messages do not take into account whether people need them or not, and do not get the permission from users to transmit these rubbish short messages to them. As we know, everyone has the right to communic

47、ation freely with other people, and the right to refuse communication with people they dont like to. But these rights were not guaranteed in SMS. Users do not receive rubbish short messages on a voluntary basis. If you fell angry and disgusted with some rubbish message to your cell phone, and do not

48、 want to see it again, that means such message is in contradiction with your wish, and violates your privacy. MMS also promote the transmission of unhealthy information on the Internet from computer to cell phone, which must extend the scope and influence of rubbish short message. The rapid developm

49、ent of mobile communications may suffer a lot if there is no change in the way of transmitting SMS. More and more users of cell phone are disturbed by rubbish short messages, and their privacy is violated by mobile communications service, which is also not a benefit for the development of mobile communications service. 46 _has created a good condition for SMS. （ A） Multi-media messaging servic
