【解析】

本文介紹了大衛(wèi)·布萊恩,他既是街頭魔術(shù)師,也是極限特技運動表演者,他精彩的表演從來沒有讓他的觀眾失望過,在他還不到40歲的時候,他完成了一本關(guān)于他自己的著作,現(xiàn)在不是所有人都知道他,不過將來他會家喻戶曉。

1細(xì)節(jié)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)But ask New Yorkers the same question, and they will probably say, “Yes, we have.”可知,大多數(shù)的紐約人要比其他人對大衛(wèi)·布萊恩了解的更多。故選B。

2細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Several years ago, on his first show, he walked around the streets of New York and entertained( ) people with amazing tricks.可知,大衛(wèi)·布萊恩在他第一次的電視表演上,是通過表演令人驚訝的魔術(shù)變得出名。故選C。

3詞義猜測題。根據(jù)David has spent about 62 hours inside a block of ice, he’s stayed under water in a huge glass bowl for 7 days, he’s lived in a glasss box for 44 days with no food, and he’s stood on a 30-meter pole for about 35 hours.可知,在一塊冰里待62小時,在水下玻璃箱里待7天,在玻璃箱里待44天且不吃東西,在30米高的柱子上站35小時等這些都屬于危險的極限運動,也就是他危險的興趣愛好。故選B。

4細(xì)節(jié)題理解。根據(jù)And he read people’s thoughts. 可知,他能讀懂人們的想法,A項正確;根據(jù)But he’s already written a book about his life.可知,他寫了一本關(guān)于他自己生活的書,C項正確; 根據(jù)he’s stood on a 30-meter pole for about 35 hours可知,他在30米高的柱子上站35小時,D項正確。B項,從一架飛機中跳出去,并不是在40歲之前做過的事情。故選B。

5細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)His audiences(觀眾) have never been disappointed.可知,他的觀眾從來沒有失望過,因為他的表演很出色,觀眾對他的表演非常感興趣、很滿意。A項與文章內(nèi)容不符,所以A項表述錯誤。根據(jù)he’s lived in a glasss box for 44 days with no food ,可知他在玻璃箱中待了44天沒有進食,所以B項正確;根據(jù)Mysterious Stranger probably describes him really well 可知,這本書可以很好的描述他,所以C項正確;根據(jù)But David isn’t just an entertainer-- he also does stunts可知,他不僅是表演師,也是一個特技表演者,所以D項正確。故選A。

【題目】 The late president of South Africa , Nelson Mandela , once said :If you talk to a man in a language he understands , that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.

After all, it’s the language we first hear – usually from our parents – and the language we first learn to speak. We can communicate in a nuanced(微妙的)way through our mother language , expressing our emotions and moods more fluently . We make friends in our mother language. We fall in love in it. We suffer bereavement(喪親之痛)in our mother language . When we die, we know that people will mourn(哀悼)for us in our mother language .

For the people who speak an ancient tongue as their mother language , it is the repository(貯藏庫)of tradition . The language is their main link with their ancestors. And it’s also how they imagine the future.

So it’s a serious matter for a language to disappear. Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozen people, such as Yagan, a language from Chile. Africa and South America are also places where many languages are imperilled.

Why are we humans speaking fewer languages than we once did? The answer has a lot to do with globalization. With greater trade and communication, the planet has become smaller. It’s become more useful to speak some languages – English is the obvious example – than others. the effect has been to kill certain languages, usually ones spoken by less populous(人口眾多的)and powerful peoples.

But there are people and organizations all over the world that aren’t prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages. Through efforts both large and small, they are getting people to speak and read in certain languages, and to pass them on.

The United Nations recognizes this work. This is why each year on Feb 21, it holds International Mother Language Day to raise notice of dying languages, as well as praises the people who are struggling to protect them.

This work is surely important. Language is the roadmap of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going.

1How does the author introduce the topic?

A.By asking a question.B.By using someone’s words.

C.By giving an experience.D.By expressing a feeling.

2What are Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about?

A.The importance of one’s mother language.

B.Why languages disappear.

C.Ways to save our mother languages.

D.The relationship between tradition and language.

3What does the underlined word imperiledmean?

A.developedB.protectedC.usedD.endangered

4what is the greatest cause of language loss, according to the article?

A.The development of globalization.

B.An increasing world population.

C.Disappearing traditions.

D.Young people don’t like speaking their mother language.

5According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A.More than 400 languages have died over the last century.

B.Some languages are spoken only by a small number of people

C.The less powerful peoples’ languages can’t be killed

D.Many languages are imperilled in Africa and South America

【題目】 What do the CEOs of famous companies such as Starbucks, Delta Airlines, Disney and YouTube all have in common, besides leading hugely successful global companies? They are all products of a liberal arts education(人文教育), graduating with degrees in literature, history, and communications. Likewise, Nobel Prize winner in Medicine, Harold Varmus, was an English major, and former United States president Barack Obama studied political science.

A liberal arts education is so much more than many students realize. It is a kind of education with broad knowledge learning as well as in-depth study in a major. A liberal arts course challenges students to think creatively, develop strong detailed and logical thinking skills, and solve problems. You may understand a physics problem from an angle learned in an art class, or other liberal arts subjects. Commonly, students need to spend not less than 30 hours on the basic liberal arts courses, before they focus on a certain area of interest.

Today’s tech companies are not simply looking for a graduate who knows how to code computer programs. They are hiring the graduates who took courses in economics, markets, literature and art, along with computer science. And the education experience has made it easier for them to find out The Next Great Thing in the tech industry and how to design and market it. For example, an international company will choose the graduate who can understand a financial(財務(wù)的) report and has solutions for attracting new customers, along with the language skills to do business in different countries around the world. As a result, increasingly, more and more companies need more graduates with different kinds of skills that are taught in liberal arts courses.

Liberal arts majors exist in most private and public colleges and universities in the US. However, the US also has some colleges that teach a comprehensive liberal arts courses. These colleges tend to be highly strict about students’ academic performance. And they often offer off-campus learning opportunities. Students can then develop skills for a fast changing society.

Learn more about the value of a liberal arts education, and you may find that studying philosophy and computer science, French or biology could lead you on the path to a great career and The Next Big Thing.
