A
Languages have been cming and ging fr thusands f years, but in recent times there has been less cming and a lt mre ging. When the wrld was still ppulated by huntergatherers, small, tightly knit cnnected grups develped their wn patterns f speech independent f each ther. Sme language experts believe that 10,000 years ag, when the wrld had just five t ten millin peple, they spke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Sn afterwards, many f thse peple started settling dwn t becme farmers, and their languages t became mre settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrializatin, the develpment f the natinstate and the spread f universal cmpulsry educatin, especially glbalisatin and better cmmunicatins in the past few decades, all have caused many languages t disappear, and dminant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking ver.
At present, the wrld has abut 6,800 languages. The distributin f these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild znes have relatively few languages, ften spken by many peple, while ht, wet znes have lts, ften spken by small numbers. Eurpe has nly arund 200 languages; the Americas abut 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3，200, f which Papua New Guinea alne accunts fr well ver 800. The median number (中位数) f speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the wrld's languages are spken by fewer peple than that.
Already well ver 400 f the ttal f 6，800 languages are clse t extinctin, with nly a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at randm, Busuu in Camern (eight remaining speakers), Chiapanec in Mexic (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (tw r three) r Wadjigu in Australia (ne, with a questin-mark): nne f these seems t have much chance f survival.
1. What can we infer abut languages in huntergatherer times?
A. They develped very fast.B. They had similar patterns.
C. They were large in number.D. They were clsely cnnected.
2 Which f the fllwing best explains “dminant” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Mdern.B. Pwerful.C. Cmplex.D. Advanced.
3. Hw many languages are spken by less than 6,000 peple at present?
A. Abut 6,800.B. Abut 1,200.
C. Abut 3,400.D. Abut 2,400.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. C

As the wner pened the dr, the suspect darted ut frm behind the bush ... and right int the arms f campus plice, wh'd jined the chase shrtly behind the runners.
The members f this running grup are nt hard-cre athletes. But they d understand the benefit f a little exercise. ''Running is typically a useless sprt where yu turn fat cells int heat," Cassidy tld The Philadelphia Inquirer. "But ccasinally it can be useful, and here was ne f thse pprtunities."

Needless t say, I had negative emtins, buncing frm embarrassment t shame caused by ttal reliance n smene ther than myself.
At ne pint when I had mentally and physically hit bttms I remember thinking that Sctt must smehw lve me mre than I culd ever lve him. With my illness, he had becme the strnger ne, and I the weaker ne. And this disturbed me.

Then recently Sctt and I went n a lng bike ride. He’s an experienced cyclist; I’m quite the green hand. At ne pint with a strng headwind and sharp pain building in my tired legs, I really thught I culdn’t g any further.

My husband was pulling me alng again. At this very mment I wke up t what I nw believe: during these and ther tugh times, lve has the pprtunity t becme strnger when ne partner learns t lean n the ther.
I pray my husband will always be strng and healthy. But if he shuld ever becme the struggling ne, whether n a bike ride r with an illness, I trust I’ll be ready t call ut t him: Stay clse behind me-my turn t pull yu alng.

Eating spicy fds frequently may be tied t a slightly lwer risk f an earlier death, accrding t a new study. Hwever, mre research is needed t cnfirm the link, experts say.
The researchers fund that the peple in the study wh ate spicy fds ne r tw days a week were 10 percent less likely t die during the study, cmpared with thse wh ate spicy fds less than nce a week, accrding t the study published tday(Aug. 4) in the jurnal The BMJ.

根据上文“While saying yes t the invitatin is a relatively straightfrward prcess, things can get a bit awkward if yu’re nt s sure abut attending.(虽然接受邀请是一个相对简单的过程，但如果你不确定是否要参加，事情可能会变得有点尴尬)”可知，上文提到不确定参加的话，事情会变得很尴尬。推知下一句要表达拒绝婚礼会怎么样。故G项“拒绝婚礼是一种让你觉得很私人的情况”符合语境。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据后文“yu shuld decline via pst. If the message came in an email, a simple email expressing yur regrets will d.(你应该通过邮件拒绝。如果这条信息是通过电子邮件发送的，发一封简单的电子邮件表达你的遗憾就可以了)”可知，后文提到了邮件邀请如何拒绝的情况。故C项“如果通过邮件邀请你”符合语境。故选C。
【18题详解】

It will establish nthing beynd making the cuple feel bad.(虽然给出拒绝的理由是一种很好的姿态，但没必要太极端。一个简单的回答就可以了，如果是与成本相关的，强调你的理由是一个特别糟糕的主意。这只会让夫妻俩感觉很糟糕)”可知本段表达自己的解释要简短。故B项“你的解释要简短”符合语境。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据标题“Dn’t change yur decisin(不要改变决定)”以及下文提到决定反复会给新婚夫妇带来不便，可知要坚持自己的决定。故E项“一旦决定不参加婚礼，重要的是要坚持这个决定”符合语境。故选E。

In my early thirties, my career in teaching was nt what I dreamed it wuld be. I left the jb and mved in with my parents fr a year while I tested ut a new career.
Living with my parents prved t be an even bigger challenge than my new jb. T tell the truth, it was prbably harder fr them than it was fr me because I was a big truble.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Languages have been cming and ging fr thusands f years, but in recent times there has been less cming and a lt mre ging. When the wrld was still ppulated by huntergatherers, small, tightly knit cnnected grups develped their wn patterns f speech independent f each ther. Sme language experts believe that 10,000 years ag, when the wrld had just five t ten millin peple, they spke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Sn afterwards, many f thse peple started settling dwn t becme farmers, and their languages t became mre settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrializatin, the develpment f the natinstate and the spread f universal cmpulsry educatin, especially glbalisatin and better cmmunicatins in the past few decades, all have caused many languages t disappear, and dminant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking ver.
At present, the wrld has abut 6,800 languages. The distributin f these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild znes have relatively few languages, ften spken by many peple, while ht, wet znes have lts, ften spken by small numbers. Eurpe has nly arund 200 languages; the Americas abut 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3，200, f which Papua New Guinea alne accunts fr well ver 800. The median number (中位数) f speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the wrld's languages are spken by fewer peple than that.
Already well ver 400 f the ttal f 6，800 languages are clse t extinctin, with nly a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at randm, Busuu in Camern (eight remaining speakers), Chiapanec in Mexic (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (tw r three) r Wadjigu in Australia (ne, with a questin-mark): nne f these seems t have much chance f survival.
1. What can we infer abut languages in huntergatherer times?
A. They develped very fast.B. They had similar patterns.
C. They were large in number.D. They were clsely cnnected.
2 Which f the fllwing best explains “dminant” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Mdern.B. Pwerful.C. Cmplex.D. Advanced.
3. Hw many languages are spken by less than 6,000 peple at present?
A. Abut 6,800.B. Abut 1,200.
C. Abut 3,400.D. Abut 2,400.

At that, the grup did what running clubs d: They ran, trailing the suspect dwn the streets f Philadelphia until he ducked int a cnstructin site. The runners split up. Cassidy ran arund t the far side f the site t cut the thief ff while the thers wandered the neighbrhd hping he had dumped the lt （赃物）in a backyard.

As the wner pened the dr, the suspect darted ut frm behind the bush ... and right int the arms f campus plice, wh'd jined the chase shrtly behind the runners.
The members f this running grup are nt hard-cre athletes. But they d understand the benefit f a little exercise. ''Running is typically a useless sprt where yu turn fat cells int heat," Cassidy tld The Philadelphia Inquirer. "But ccasinally it can be useful, and here was ne f thse pprtunities."

My husband was pulling me alng again. At this very mment I wke up t what I nw believe: during these and ther tugh times, lve has the pprtunity t becme strnger when ne partner learns t lean n the ther.
I pray my husband will always be strng and healthy. But if he shuld ever becme the struggling ne, whether n a bike ride r with an illness, I trust I’ll be ready t call ut t him: Stay clse behind me-my turn t pull yu alng.

Eating spicy fds frequently may be tied t a slightly lwer risk f an earlier death, accrding t a new study. Hwever, mre research is needed t cnfirm the link, experts say.
The researchers fund that the peple in the study wh ate spicy fds ne r tw days a week were 10 percent less likely t die during the study, cmpared with thse wh ate spicy fds less than nce a week, accrding t the study published tday(Aug. 4) in the jurnal The BMJ. Mrever, the peple in the study wh ate spicy fds three r mre days a week were 14 percent less likely t die during the study, cmpared with thse wh ate spicy fds less than nce a week.
Hwever, the study was bservatinal, and s it is t early t tell whether there is a causal relatinship between eating spicy fd and lwer mrtality, said study authr Lu Qi, an assciate prfessr at Harvard Schl f Public Health in Bstn, Massachusetts. "We definitely need mre data frm ther ppulatins," Qi tld Live Science. “The researchers dn't knw why exactly the cnsumptin f spicy fd may be linked t lwer mrtality, but previus research n cells and animals has suggested several pssible mechanisms,” Qi said.
“It is unclear whether the bserved assciatins are the direct result f spicy fd intake, r whether spicy fds are simply a marker fr ther beneficial but unmeasured dietary cmpnents(成分),” said Nita Fruhi, a nutritinal expect. At this pint, researchers dn't knw fr sure whether eating spicy fds can have a beneficial effect n human health and mrtality, Fruhi wrte. "Future research is needed t make sure whether spicy fd cnsumptin has the ptential t imprve health and reduce mrtality directly, r if it is merely a marker f ther dietary and lifestyle factrs," she said.

【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Eating spicy fds frequently may be tied t a slightly lwer risk f an earlier death, accrding t a new study. ”（一项新研究表明，经常吃辛辣食物可能与略低的早死风险有关。）这篇文章主要讲了新的研究发现表明经常吃轻微的辛辣食品可能有助于减少死亡，也就是讲了特定食物和健康之间的联系，选B。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
We all knw what it means when a nice envelpe lands in yur mailbx: Smene’s getting married, and they’re hping that yu can be there fr the big day. While saying yes t the invitatin is a relatively straightfrward prcess, things can get a bit awkward if yu’re nt s sure abut attending. ____16____. T help yu get ut f these frmal engagements withut feeling awkward, we’ve cnsulted Katie Balmer, a leading wedding expert in Sctland.
Fllw the frmat
The level f frmality shuld be infrmed by the way that the invitatin was sent.____17____, yu shuld decline via pst. If the message came in an email, a simple email expressing yur regrets will d.
Dn’t put ff yur respnse
If yu already knw that yu can’t make it fr whatever reasn, dn’t hesitate t let the happy cuple knw why. “It is very imprtant t respnd in. gd time.____18____,” says Balmer.
____19____
While it’s a nice gesture t ffer a reasn fr yur refusal, there’s n need t be extreme. A simple respnse will d, and it’s an especially bad idea t emphasize yur reasn if it’s cst-related. It will establish nthing beynd making the cuple feel bad.
Dn’t change yur decisin
____20____, it is imprtant t stick t that decisin. “Ging back and frth nly adds t the incnvenience fr the sn-t-be newlyweds,” says Balmer. “As lng as yu are hnest and timely, the bride and grm shuld understand.”
A. Make it up t the cuple
B. Be brief in yur explanatin
C. If the ffer was sent t yu by mail
D. D nt leave it until the last pssible mment
E. Once the decisin nt t attend the wedding has been decided

G. Turning dwn a wedding is a situatin where yu can feel very persnal
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. D 19. B 20. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇短文介绍如果接到婚礼邀请，如果没有时间要及时拒绝，不要拖延，也不要来回变化。
【16题详解】
根据上文“While saying yes t the invitatin is a relatively straightfrward prcess, things can get a bit awkward if yu’re nt s sure abut attending.(虽然接受邀请是一个相对简单的过程，但如果你不确定是否要参加，事情可能会变得有点尴尬)”可知，上文提到不确定参加的话，事情会变得很尴尬。推知下一句要表达拒绝婚礼会怎么样。故G项“拒绝婚礼是一种让你觉得很私人的情况”符合语境。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据后文“yu shuld decline via pst. If the message came in an email, a simple email expressing yur regrets will d.(你应该通过邮件拒绝。如果这条信息是通过电子邮件发送的，发一封简单的电子邮件表达你的遗憾就可以了)”可知，后文提到了邮件邀请如何拒绝的情况。故C项“如果通过邮件邀请你”符合语境。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据本段的标题“Dn’t put ff yur respnse(不要拖延你的回复)”，以及本段意思是说如果确定自己无法参加，不要拖延，尽快地让对方知道。故D项“不要把它留到最后一个可能的时刻。”符合语境。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据本段“While it’s a nice gesture t ffer a reasn fr yur refusal, there’s n need t be extreme. A simple respnse will d, and it’s an especially bad idea t emphasize yur reasn if it’s cst-related. It will establish nthing beynd making the cuple feel bad.(虽然给出拒绝的理由是一种很好的姿态，但没必要太极端。一个简单的回答就可以了，如果是与成本相关的，强调你的理由是一个特别糟糕的主意。这只会让夫妻俩感觉很糟糕)”可知本段表达自己的解释要简短。故B项“你的解释要简短”符合语境。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据标题“Dn’t change yur decisin(不要改变决定)”以及下文提到决定反复会给新婚夫妇带来不便，可知要坚持自己的决定。故E项“一旦决定不参加婚礼，重要的是要坚持这个决定”符合语境。故选E。

In my early thirties, my career in teaching was nt what I dreamed it wuld be. I left the jb and mved in with my parents fr a year while I tested ut a new career.
Living with my parents prved t be an even bigger challenge than my new jb. T tell the truth, it was prbably harder fr them than it was fr me because I was a big truble. I yelled at my mm fr buying junk fd and ignred my dad when he ffered advice. I cmplained my mm never did my laundry the way I wanted and my dad never let me chse what shw t watch. Instead f being grateful fr their hspitality(款待), I was mean t them and mst likely made them regret their ffer.

My life wasn’t what r where I wanted it t be. By this age, I expected t be firmly rted n a career path with a huge circle f friends wh liked t hang ut. I did nt expect t be living with my parents and starting ver.
My attitude grew wrse. One day when I was tearfully talking abut smething that was making my life miserable, my mther interrupted me. She nearly shuted, “Why dn’t yu just try smiling mre?” I am pretty sure I laughed at her, but she went n t explain that smetimes things dn’t wrk ut the way we thught they wuld. “Dn’t wait fr things t get better,” she said. “Make them better.” I decided I was ging t shw my mther just hw wrng she was. I wuld fllw her ad-vice and try smiling mre.
Weeks passed, and smewhere alng the way, I frgt abut trying t smile mre as it became a habit. I wrked n appraching situatins with a better perspective and slwly star-ted t feel the weight n my shulders lighten.
