24、Throughout history, people have been interested in knowing how language first began, but no one knows exactly where or how this happened. However, we do know a lot about languages, the language of today and also the languages of earlier times. There are probably about 3000 languages in the world today. Chinese is the lang uage with the most speakers. English, Russian and Spanish are also spoken by millions of people. On the other hand, some languages in the world have less than one hundred speakers.

There are several important families of languages in the world. For example, most of the languages of Europe are in one large family called Indo-European. The original language of this family was spoken about 4,500 years ago. Many of the present-day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4,500 years ago.

Languages are always changing. The English of tod ay is very different from the English of 500 years ago. In time, some even die out completely. About 1,000 years ago, English was a little known relative of German spoken on one of the borders of Europe.

If a language has a number of speakers, or if it is very old, there may be differences in the way it is spoken in different areas. That is, the language may have several dialects. Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of people. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of Ch ina can’t understand spe akers from other parts.

25、New artificial intelligence software is being used in Japan to monitor the body language of shoppers and look for signs that they are planning to shoplift (在商场中偷窃).

The software, which is made by a Tokyo company called Vaak, is different from similar products that work by matching faces to criminal records. Instead, VaakEye uses behavior to predict criminal action. Company founder Ryo Tanaka said his team offer 100,000/hours worth of surveillance (监视) data to train it to monitor everything from the facial expressions of shoppers to their movement and clothing.

Since VaakEye launched last month, it has been used in 50 stores across Japan. Vaak said that there will be another 100 stores using it next month. That could help reduce global retail costs from shoplifting, which hit $34 billion in 2017 according to the Global Shrink. Index.

“Though the goal is to prevent theft, is it legal of even moral to prevent someone from entering a store based on this software?” said Michelle Grant. “This should not be decided by the software developers. What we provide is the information of the suspicious (可疑的) image. We don’t decide who is criminal. The shop decides who’s criminal,” said Tanaka.

“Are people aware of what’s happening?” asked Couchman. “Do they agree? What happens to the data? How is it protected? Might it be shared?” Grant said consumers are willing to sacrifice some privacy for convenience, such as using face recognition (人脸识别) for payment—but only when they’re aware the technology is being used. Therefore, there should be notice before they enter the stores so that they can decide whether to leave or not, how they use it, how long they use it.

【1】The software is used to _________.

A．stop people from entering the stores

B．prevent the theft in stores

C．help people plan the shoplift

D．help protect people’s privacy

【2】VaakEye is different from similar products because it _________.

A．matches people’s faces to criminal records

B．predicts criminal action by using behaviors

C．has been used in 50 stores across Japan

D．help reduce global retail costs from shoplifting

【3】VaakEye monitor the following things of the shoppers EXCEPT _________.

A．facial expression

B．movement

C．clothing

D．criminal records

【4】How many stores in total will use VaakEye next month?

A．50

B．100

C．150

D．200

【5】From the last two paragraphs, we can guess Michelle Grant _________.

A．thinks the developers can prevent someone from entering a store

B．thinks consumers don’t want to sacrifice their privacy anytime, anywhere

C．thinks consumers have the right to know where the information is analyzed

D．thinks consumers can’t decide whether to leave a store by themselves

26、Nobody laughed when the UK comedy show Little Britain toured the US. Americans didn’t find the “British stereotypes( 刻板印象)” funny. One character was a woman who was sick whenever she saw a foreigner. Another was a loud and rude l5-year-old girl cursing(骂) at her teachers. But back home, British people were laughing, thinking, “Yes! That’s exactly what we’re like!”

A laugh is a laugh in any language, but the reasons for it can be very different. Britons and Americans speak the same language, but humor does not always translate.

Take The Office as an example. This was originally a UK TV series but it was changed for the US. Both the US and UK series are set in a boring workplace in a boring town. But David Brent, the boss of the UK office, is not a nice guy like Michael Scott in the US version. “We had to make Michael Scott a slightly nicer guy,” wrote series creator Ricky Gervais. “He couldn’t be too mean.”

Gervais said British people are different from Americans because “Britons cruelly make fun of people we like or dislike... and of ourselves”. He believes the differences between the Americans and British sense of humor are because of “our upbringing.”

“Americans are brought up to believe they can be the next president of the United States,” he wrote. “Britons are told, ‘It won’t happen for you’.”

Things usually turn out fine at the end of every US Office episode. Even if they’re not perfect, the characters “learn a lesson” for the future.

But in David Brent’s office and in lots of UK comedies the last scene is often sad. You are often left with the feeling that things just couldn’t get worse. For British people, this seems truer to life and so much funnier.

It’s not just Britain and the US that have comic differences. Few foreigners would understand a Chinese cross-talk show, for example.

Cultural differences are no laughing matter. But comic differences can be a window into a culture.

【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To show that British humor is not funny at all.

B．To show that American people don’t understand British people.

C．To show that Britain and America have different stereotypes.

D．To show how humor may mean different things in different cultures.

【2】What does the underlined word “upbringing” in Paragraph4 mean?

A．treatment and education from childhood

B．the way in which a person is taught to be humorous

C．inborn talent in making fun of people

D．the way in which a person improves himself

【3】What can we infer from the article?

A．Britons do not like to make fun of others.

B．British comedy often has a moral message.

C．American people are brought up to be more positive.

D．Jokes are difficult to translate from one language into another.

【4】What is the author’s opinion of comic differences?

A．They are slight differences that can be ignored.

B．They can partly show cultural differences.

C．They show stereotypes of different cultures.

D．They help people communicate with each other.

27、If you want to make a great first impression, you know there are basic steps you can take: smile, make eye contact, and listen more than you talk. Anyone can do those things.

But what you might not know is that if you think other people are going to like you, they usually will.

As research shows, when you think other people will like you, you act more naturally and kindly—which then makes people like you more since we tend to like warm, friendly people. So how can you persuade(说服) yourself that people will like you? Positive self-talk (“They’re going to love me!”) isn’t enough.

Firstly, give real praise. Everyone loves to be praised, especially since no one gets enough praise. Show interest by asking questions. But go past “What do you do?”Ask what it’s like to do what the person does. Ask what’s hard about it. Ask what the person loves about it. You’ll soon find things to praise.

Secondly, focus on letting people talk about themselves. Research shows about 40 percent of everyday speech is spent telling other people what we think or feel. In fact, by helping people talk about themselves, it is seen as you’re a great conversationalist even when you actually say very little. And in the process, you also make other people feel better about themselves, which makes them like you.

Thirdly, change one word. Think about the difference in these statements:(A) I had to go to a meeting.(B) I got to meet with some great people. Keep in mind choosing the right words also affects how you feel. Don’t say, “I have to go to the gym.” Say, “I want to go to the gym.”

        At last, show a little vulnerability(示弱). Great teams are often led by people willing to admit weaknesses and failings. Great friends are also willing to be vulnerable. Want to make a great first impression? Don’t try to impress. Instead, be humble(谦虚).

【1】How many methods are advised to make a great first impression?

A．One.

B．Two.

C．Three.

D．Four.

【2】What does the underlined word “it” refer to?

A．When others say very little.

B．Tell other people what we think.

C．You’re a great conversationalist.

D．Help people talk about themselves.

【3】Match the ways with the examples.

① Change one word            a. Be willing to admit weaknesses and failings.

②Give a real praise            b. Use “I want to go...” instead of “I have to go...”

③Show a little vulnerability            c. Make other people feel better about themselves.

④ Let people talk about themselves          d. Ask what the person loves to find things to praise.

A．①-a   ②-b   ③ -c ④ -d

B．①-b   ② -d ③ -c ④ -a

C．①-a ②-d ③-c ④-b

D．①-b     ②-d ③ -a     ④-c

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．Where to make friends easily?

B．The result of making others like you.

C．How to make others like to talk with you?

D．The reasons to make a great first impression.
