Language experts say that as many as half of the 6, 900 languages spoken in the world today are endangered. This means that by the year 2050 over 3, 000 languages will have become extinct. Four of the most likely languages to disappear are listed below.
Yuchi
Yuchi is a language spoken by just five people all aged over 75 in Oklahoma, USA. They are members of a Native American Indian group of people called the Tsoyaha, meaning Children of the Sun. Its nouns have ten genders, six for Yuchi people, one for non-Yuchis and animals and three for inanimate objects.
Jeru
Jeru is an Andamanese language spoken by fewer than 20 people on the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean. It is generally believed to be one of the languages in Southeast Asia surviving from ancient times. Jeru is thought to date back to a settlement of the area by the first humans to leave Africa.
Thao
Among the inhabitants(居民) of Sun Moon Lake in central Taiwan, China are a handful of old people that speak the Austronesian language of Thao. The rest of the community speaks Taiwanese Chinese. The language of Thao is related to others in the Philippines and Indonesia.
Ainu
This language is spoken by the original inhabitants of Japan. It is used by a small number of old people on the island of Hokkaido in the far north of the country. Ainu has very complex verbs that include meanings most languages need a whole sentence to express.

Unless you are fortunate enough to know an NBA player, Ryan Martin is probably the best basketball player you’ll ever meet. Unlike those who fly up and down the court, however, Martin is forced to take a different approach; he doesn’t have legs.
Martin, a 33-year-old man, is a professional wheelchair basketball player. His achievements have taken him halfway around the world to play in Spain for the last seven years. There he made a comfortable living playing basketball and working with some of the greatest athletes in the world.
“A good wheelchair player can make $50, 000 a year, while a star can make six figures,” said Martin. But he couldn’t see his family for months and European cities were unfriendly to the disabled. He also had to learn Spanish. Martin, however, overcame those drawbacks(困難).
He started playing basketball when he was 12. It didn’t take long for him to fall in love with the sport and, after graduating from Somers High, he attended Southwest Minnesota State University on a basketball scholarship. In college, he scored over 1, 000 points in his career and set several school records.
And he works as hard—if not harder—as any other professional athlete.“He destroys me,” said Gina Navarra, who works out with Martin on occasion.“What he does amazes me.”
Martin also recognizes that, at age 33, he’s in the back end of his career. With that in mind, he has been focusing more and more on his foundation.
“I have 12 brothers and sisters. College gave me a true sense of achievement. The foundation is designed to give those with disabilities the opportunity to realize the dreams that I once had,” Martin said.
“I’m not saying that out of a sense of pity,” he said. “I realize how fortunate I am to have achieved what I have. But I want to open doors for people.”
4. What was Ryan Martin’s life like in Spain?
A. Free. B. Boring. C. Difficult. D. Bitter-sweet.
5. How was Ryan Martin’s performance in college?
A. He stood out in basketball.
B. He failed to make a record.
C. He was weak in his studies.
D. He never won a scholarship.
6. Why did Ryan Martin work for the foundation?
A. To help those in need.
B. To finish his basketball career.
C. To earn more money for his family.
D. To learn basketball skills from other players.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Ryan Martin?
A. Honest and responsible.
B. Ambitious and sensitive.
C. Reliable and knowledgeable.
D. Determined and warm-hearted.
C
Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, which doctors suggest we all should cut down on.
“It seems like every time I study an illness and search for the first cause, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million adults have diabetes(糖尿病). Why? “Sugar, we believe is one of the culprits, if not the major reason,” says Johnson.
Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.
So what is the solution? It’s obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today’s world, it’s extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals(谷物) to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it.
But there are those who are fighting back against sugar. Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier food like fruit. Other schools are growing their own food in gardens, or building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise.
8. What do scientists think of sugar?
A. It benefits our health.
B. It is less addictive than drugs.
C. It causes us to become dependent on it.
D. It should be taken under a doctor’s guidance.
9. What does the underlined word “culprits” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Diseases. B. Poor diets. C. Unknown things. D. Causes of a problem.
10. Why is it so hard to avoid sugar?
A. We like it too much.
B. We cannot survive without it.
C. It gives us much needed energy.
D. It’s in so many foods and drinks.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Ways to Avoid Sugar
B. Our Addiction to Sugar
C. Illnesses Caused by Sugar
D. Good Sugar VS Bad Sugar
D
When you buy fresh-cut flowers, do you think about where they came from? You might think they were grown somewhere nearby. The reality, though, is that the cut flower trade is increasingly international. Today, thanks to airplanes and high-tech cooling systems, even the most delicate flower can be exported and sold thousands of kilometers away from where it was grown.
The Netherlands handles about 60 percent of the world’s cut flowers. And its auction houses(拍賣(mài)行) are very large—Aalsmeer, near Amsterdam, is such an auction house. About 120 soccer fields would fill its main building. Nineteen million flowers are sold here on an average day.
The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower varieties. Dutch companies and the government invest a great amount of money in flower research. Their scientists look for ways to lengthen a flower’s vase life, to strengthen flowers to prevent them from being damaged while travelling, and also to strengthen the natural fragrance of the flowers.
There are also many other places with a better climate for growing flowers, and the climate of Ecuador is almost perfect. With predictable rainy periods and 12 hours of sunlight each day, Ecuador’s roses are famous for their large heads and long, straight stems. Every year, Ecuador sells about 500 million flowers to the US alone. The industry has brought employment opportunities and a stronger economy to the country.“My family has TV now. There are radios,” said Yolanda Quishpe, 20, who has picked roses for four years.
To others, the increasingly international nature of the flower trade is very bad news. In recent years, local growers in the US faced huge competition from international flower companies, and many lost their businesses. Lina Hale, an independent rose grower said her father had predicted the situation in the 1980s.“I see a train coming down the track,” he warned her, “and it’s coming straight towards us.”
12. What do we know about Aalsmeer?
A. It’s very large.
B. It’s as big as Tokyo.
C. 19 million flowers are grown there.
D. 60% of the Netherlands’ flowers are sold there.
13. What is one aspect of the Netherlands’ flower research?
A. How to increase flower production.
B. How to avoid climate’s effect on flowers.
C. How to speed up the process of flowering.
D. How to keep flowers fresh during transportation.
14. What does the author want to show through Yolanda Quishpe’s words?
A. Flowers from Ecuador are beautiful.
B. Ecuador could grow even more flowers.
C. The flower trade in Ecuador benefits the locals.
D. Rose-picking is a very popular job in Ecuador.
15. What Lina Hale’s father said suggested that .
A. he was excited to see the train
B. he knew his business would be affected
C. he was sure customers wouldn’t want roses
D. he thought trains were a new way to deliver flowers

Everybody hates the idea of cutting back financially because it usually means living without things you like. But not always. 16 They could reduce your costs by thousands of dollars a year.

Mike licked the last of the mint chocolate chip ice cream. It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet.
When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out of the pool, smiling. He had just won first place, making him the fastest boy in his age group.
“Congratulations, son,” his father said. His mom gave him a hug, even though he was soaking wet.
A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite ice cream flavor. Mike remembered that the last time he had won a race, he also ate mint chocolate chip ice cream first. Maybe he’d win again.
He took first place again in his race. Mike was feeling pretty good. As it turned out, Mike decided to have some mint chocolate chip ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of placing in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn’t admit it, but all that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer’s build.
It didn’t take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place—and then third—and then last place in his races. The lucky mint chocolate chip ice cream had lost its magic.
On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. “Mike, we all love ice cream, but it’s not healthy for your body to eat so much of it. Maybe it’s time to quit the sweet treats for a while, especially before you go swimming.”
Mike unwillingly agreed. He went to the swim meet, and didn’t perform well. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help him feel better and strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices.
注意:1. 續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;

When you buy fresh-cut flowers, do you think about where they came from? You might think they were grown somewhere nearby. The reality, though, is that the cut flower trade is increasingly international. Today, thanks to airplanes and high-tech cooling systems, even the most delicate flower can be exported and sold thousands of kilometers away from where it was grown.
The Netherlands handles about 60 percent of the world’s cut flowers. And its auction houses(拍賣(mài)行) are very large—Aalsmeer, near Amsterdam, is such an auction house. About 120 soccer fields would fill its main building. Nineteen million flowers are sold here on an average day.
The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower varieties. Dutch companies and the government invest a great amount of money in flower research. Their scientists look for ways to lengthen a flower’s vase life, to strengthen flowers to prevent them from being damaged while travelling, and also to strengthen the natural fragrance of the flowers.
There are also many other places with a better climate for growing flowers, and the climate of Ecuador is almost perfect. With predictable rainy periods and 12 hours of sunlight each day, Ecuador’s roses are famous for their large heads and long, straight stems. Every year, Ecuador sells about 500 million flowers to the US alone. The industry has brought employment opportunities and a stronger economy to the country.“My family has TV now. There are radios,” said Yolanda Quishpe, 20, who has picked roses for four years.
To others, the increasingly international nature of the flower trade is very bad news. In recent years, local growers in the US faced huge competition from international flower companies, and many lost their businesses. Lina Hale, an independent rose grower said her father had predicted the situation in the 1980s.“I see a train coming down the track,” he warned her, “and it’s coming straight towards us.”

閱讀下面材料, 根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫(xiě)兩段, 使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Mike licked the last of the mint chocolate chip ice cream. It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet.
When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out of the pool, smiling. He had just won first place, making him the fastest boy in his age group.
“Congratulations, son,” his father said. His mom gave him a hug, even though he was soaking wet.
A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite ice cream flavor. Mike remembered that the last time he had won a race, he also ate mint chocolate chip ice cream first. Maybe he’d win again.
He took first place again in his race. Mike was feeling pretty good. As it turned out, Mike decided to have some mint chocolate chip ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of placing in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn’t admit it, but all that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer’s build.
It didn’t take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place—and then third—and then last place in his races. The lucky mint chocolate chip ice cream had lost its magic.
On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. “Mike, we all love ice cream, but it’s not healthy for your body to eat so much of it. Maybe it’s time to quit the sweet treats for a while, especially before you go swimming.”
Mike unwillingly agreed. He went to the swim meet, and didn’t perform well. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help him feel better and strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices.
注意:1. 續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;
2. 請(qǐng)按如下格式在相應(yīng)位置作答。
It was the last meet of the season, and Mike wasn’t sure what to expect.____________________

【參考范文】
It was the last meet of the season, and Mike wasn’t sure what to expect. He’d been training hard with his dad, and staying away from the rich desserts he enjoyed so much. He felt healthy again, but he didn’t know if he still had any speed in the pool. As he dove into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. This race was a long one with several laps, so Mike tried to keep his energy level up even as he began feeling tired.
Finally came the end of the race. Mike’s jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else’s too. Mike had won his race, and he had also been qualified for the national championships. The audience and his teammates cheered loudly, and his parents were grinning from ear to ear. “Hey champ, let’s go grab some of your favorite ice cream and celebrate!” said his father. “Thanks, Dad, but I’ll give up the ice cream; it’s not such a lucky charm after all!”
