21、   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.”

Mandela understood that our mother language is a very close thing to us. For people who speak their mother language, it helps them keep their traditions. Their language is the bridge with their ancestors (祖先). And it is also how they think about the future.

So it's a serious thing that a language disappears (消失). Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died out. Some languages are now spoken only by a few people, like Yagan in Chile. Africa and South America are also places where many languages are imperiled (处于危险的).

Why are humans speaking fewer languages than we once did? The answer has something to do with globalization (全球化). Nowadays, it's more useful to speak certain languages—English is one example. This has killed some languages, usually ones spoken by fewer people.

The United Nations has set Feb 21 as International Mother Language Day. This work is very important. As US writer Rita Mae Brown wrote, “Language is the map of the culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going”.

【1】How does the writer introduce (介绍，引入) the topic?

A.By using a famous person’s words. B.By asking difficult questions.

C.By giving good examples. D.By explaining special things.

【2】According to Nelson Mandela, a man’s mother language _____________.

A.doesn’t go to his head B.can’t explain things better

C.carries certain feelings D.helps talk to their ancestors

【3】Which is the most suitable (适合的) place in the passage for the sentence, “But some people aren’t prepared to accept the earth with fewer and fewer languages”?

A.At the beginning of Paragraph 2 B.At the beginning of Paragraph 3

C.At the beginning of Paragraph 4 D.At the beginning of Paragraph 5

【4】What can we infer (推断) from the passage?

A.The US writer Rita Mae Brown does not agree with Nelson Mandela.

B.The United Nations wants people to care more about dying languages.

C.People in Chile do not speak their mother languages any more.

D.There will be more and more languages in the world soon.

22、In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.

The next important date in the history of photography (摄影术) was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype. Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travellers brought back wonderful photos from all over the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.

In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of films and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard. Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike .

23、Xiao Peng, a 12-year-old Chinese boy, has too many activities. His father takes him away from school sixteen afternoons a month and drives him across town to practice. “I do most of my homework in the car when we are driving to the practice centre, and I have to do the rest when I go home. I am too tired and I just want to sleep,” he said in a sleepy way.

“More and more kids become unhappy because they have too many activities to do,” said Mr. Wang, an expert of child development (发展). “41% of the children aged 9-13 said they felt worried most of the time, and more than 75% of them said that they wished they had more free time to play.”

“Over-scheduling (过量的课时安排) is a growing problem for Chinese families,” said Mr. Wang. It is not good for both kids and their parents. All these family members are always very busy, especially for dinner time. More families have dinner quickly or often have to eat fast food on their way to football practice or music lessons. We all know it is important for kids to learn how to relax. If they don’t learn that now, it will be more difficult to learn when they get older. Kids need time to relax. Parents should think about what is right for kids.

A．Relaxed.

B．Excited.

C．Tired.

D．Sad.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Over 41% of the parents said they felt worried most of the time.

B．More and more kids become unhappy because they have too many activities to do.

C．If kids don’t learn to relax now, it will be less difficult to learn when they get older.

D．Over-scheduling is a growing problem for American families.

A．Parents should worry about their children.

B．Parents should give much time to the kids to study.

24、Should mobile phones be allowed at school?

【1】  Some mobile phones are more than just phones---(此处为破折号)they are being used as radios, cameras (照相机) and MP4 players, and they are also used to send e-mails or surf the Internet.

【2】  

People have different ideas about whether (是否) students should use mobile phones at school or not. 【3】  If their parents have something important to tell them, they can call their teachers for help. If someone’s mobile phone rings during a Chinese class, he and his classmates can’t concentrate on (集中注意) what the teacher is saying. Some parents also point out that their children often use their mobile phones to download (下载) unhealthy information from the Internet. 【4】  

Other people believe that we can find some ways to use mobile phones to help students learn better in the classroom, since many of today’s mobile phones are like mini computers. And children usually know more than adults about how to use new technology (技术).  【5】
