24、   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（丧亲之痛）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（贮藏库）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（人口众多的）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.

A.developed B.protected C.used D.endangered

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

A.The development of globalization.

B.An increasing world population.

C.Disappearing traditions.

25、In American schools there is something called Homecoming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important thing of the year except graduation or commencement (颁授学位典礼) day. Students plan Homecoming Day for many weeks before the day.

27、   Recently, the decision to include eyesight as part of high school entrance exam has caused a heated discussion. Students in the city of Changzhi, Shanxi province will be tested on their "physical health", including eyesight. Those who fail to meet the requirement of "normal" eyesight will not get the full five points in their high school entrance exam, which decides if students can get accepted by the high school of their choice.

"In recent years, I have noticed that the No.1 problem that needs attention is poor eyesight. What makes this so terrible is that these students don't wear glasses. They even hate to say they have this problem, because they seem greatly ashamed. But how can you learn if you can't see well?" says Alexander, an American teacher in China.

However, not everyone holds the same view. Some believe that environmental problems can influence the eyesight. Eye illnesses, accidental injury（受伤）and improper use of eyes can also cause poor eyesight. Each of these should be considered before making this decision. It seems unfair, not well considered and may fail to reach the goal.

Here is what I think. First, why some students have shortsightedness is that their parents have it. Second, some being shortsighted is most probably a result of hard work. If those who work hard get lower scores than those who do not, tell me where fairness is? Third, rich families can afford expensive treatment of shortsightedness while common family cannot. I just feel so sad for students nowadays, for they are already under such heavy stress from the competitive environment.

【1】Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

A.All Chinese students will be tested on "physical health", including eyesight.

B.Some students don't like wearing glasses because they feel ashamed.

C.Some people hold the view that it's not fair to include eyesight in high school entrance exam.

D.Shortsightedness can be passed down to children by their parents.

【2】According to the passage, we can see that the writer might _______________ the decision to include the eyesight test in high school entrance exam.

A.be for B.not care about C.be against D.be pleased with

【3】The sentence "Yet they still have to pay for such a policy（政策）" should be put at the end of _________________.

A.Paragraph 1 B.Paragraph 2 C.Paragraph 3 D.Paragraph 4

【4】The best title of this passage is ________________

A.Eyesight test has become more important in high school entrance exam.

B.It's a great idea to include eyesight in high school entrance exam.

C.Should eyesight be included in high school entrance exam?

D.Patents warmly welcome the decision to include eyesight in high school entrance exam.
