11、 of Dreams which has brought many men to tears, they may get over-excited during a football game or the breakup may just result from their ideas. However, new research reveals that a man“s emotional life is as complex and rich as a woman“s, but often remains a mystery to him as well as to any woman
12、who loves him. Although emotions have long been considered a female thing, men report feelings as often as woman and describe their experiences of emotion similarly. In an analysis of emotional intelligence of 500,000 adults, men rated just as high in emotional awareness. In studies of married coupl
13、es, hundreds proved as sensitive to their mates“ stress levels as wives and just as capable of offering support. Although both men and woman sigh, cry, laugh, get angry, and shout, they express emotions differently. “Emotions live in the background of a man“s life and the foreground of a woman“s,“ s
14、ays psychologist Josh Coleman, author of The Lazy Husband.“ Women seem naturally more in touch with their emotions, while men have to work at it. But when men do, it“s a win-win situation. They discover a whole new dimension (空间)of themselves. Their relationships are happier, and they“re happier too
15、.“（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is most probably the main idea of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Men usually don“t know they can be emotional.B.Men are different from women in background.C.Men are actually as emotional as women.D.Women are usually more emotional than men.(2).From the context, we knew

By 2100, more than half of the more than 7,
19、 000 languages spoken on Earth will likely disappear, taking with them a wealth of knowledge about history, culture, the natural environment, and how the human brain works. Language defines a culture. Words that describe a particular cultural practice or idea rarely translate precisely into another
20、language. Many endangered languages have rich cultures with stories, songs, and histories passed on to younger generations, but no written form. With the disappearance of a language, an entire culture is lost. Much of what humans know about nature is expressed only in oral languages. Indigenous (土著)
21、 groups that have interacted closely with the natural world for thousands of years often have deep insights into local lands, planets, animals, and ecosystems (生态系统). Studying indigenous languages therefore benefits environmental understanding. Studying various languages also increases our understan
22、ding of how human communicate and store knowledge. Every time a language dies, we lose part of the picture of what our brains can do. Throughout human history, the languages of powerful groups have spread while the languages of smaller cultures have become extinct. As big languages spread, children
23、whose parents speak a small language often grow up learning the big language. Those children or their children may never learn the small language, or they may forget it as it falls out of use. This has occurred throughout human history, but the rate of language disappearance has quickened dramatical
24、ly in recent years.（分数：10.00）(1).When a language dies, what will also disappear together with it?（分数：2.00）A.History and wealth of human beings.B.Much of knowledge of human beings.C.The way the human brain works.D.The natural environment of the world.(2).Most of the time, it is impossible to _.（分数：2.

27、t“ in the last paragraph?（分数：2.00）A.Fast developingB.No longer existingC.Widely spreadingD.Never changing(5).What does the passage say about the languages of smaller cultures?（分数：2.00）A.Parents do not use a small language at all.B.They have been dropping out at the same speed.C.Children have no chan
28、ce to learn them from parents.D.They are often replaced by big languages.五、Passage There(总题数：1，分数：10.00)For the most part, shopping online is as safe as shopping at your local mall.

29、y order what you want at home. There are, though, some ways to make ordering online a little bit safer. Here are some tips. Never click on links in E-mails from strangers. Fraudsters (骗子) send e-mail with links to sites that look like genuine shopping sites but are actually designed to steal persona
30、l information. It“s safer to find a site through a web search or to shop online at a familiar store. Check the protections offered by your credit card. Some cards offer 100 percent fraud (诈骗)protection, so if you do fall victim to fraud: they will cover the cost as long as you report it within a rea
31、sonable time frame. Besides, card issuers often monitor spending activity so they can notice when something unusual happens: such as a bud expenditure at a store not previously shopped at. “Visa continually monitor account to detect suspicious or unusual activity,“ explains Jennifer Doidge, spokeswo
32、man for Visa. Use different passwords, Steve Furman, marketing director of Discover“s E-business , recommends keeping two sets of passwords, one for financial transaction (交易) and one for media sites and other less secure locations. “It“s another layer of protection,“ he says. Of course, that also m
33、eans more passwords to remember. Be smart, but don“t let fear get in your way.

38、 preventing climate change, saving fish and rainforests, reducing pollution and conserving energy for future generation.
