21、 As one of the most momentous languages in the world, Latin had humble beginnings. It originated along the Tiber River in Italy and only a handful of people spoke the language. Over time, Latin became more distinguished as Romans procured political power. Many famous literary texts and scientific classifications were written in Latin. Even though knowing Latin indicated a person was educated, according to Britannica, in the 20th century far fewer people learned Latin”, leading it to be classified as a "dead” language.
There are around 7, 000 living languages in the world, but, according to Britannica, “more than half are at risk of dying out by the end of the 21st century”. Civilizations evolve over time and so do languages. More often than not, a language dies because everyone who speaks the language dies. For example, Marie Smith Jones, perhaps the last native speaker of the Alaskan Eyak language, died at the age of 89 in 2008, and so did the language. Now, fewer and fewer people speak Latin, which raises public's awareness about its preservation.
Actually, there are many other reasons in respect of why Latin should be preserved or taught. “It is a window into an engaging ancient civilization, and studying an ancient civilization teaches us to respect different points of view and unfamiliar cultural practices," says Kathleen Coleman, James Loeb Professor of Harvard University.
Since it isn't used in ordinary conversations, there are a lot of difficulties that arise from teaching Latin. Teaching a 'dead' language is distinct from teaching other languages, explains Coleman, “because there are no native speakers to demonstrate us how it sounds or answer questions about the meanings of words or justify idioms. While it's tough, we still can find the answers to our questions from the fragmentary evidence available in written texts.”
【1】What can we learn about Latin from Paragraph 1?
A.Latin was well-known since its birth.
B.Only educated people learned Latin in the past.
C.Latin was not favored by scientists and writers.
D.All people didn't learn Latin in the 20th century.
【2】The author mentions Marie Smith Jones in Paragraph 2 to show.
A.Latin is going to be a "dead” language.
B.what it really means when a language dies.
C.why people should be aware of protecting languages.
D.he is the last native speaker of the Alaskan Eyak language.
【3】Why should people learn Latin according to Coleman?
A.To show unfamiliar practices.
B.To respect others' opinions.
C.To learn about an ancient society.
D.To protect a "dead” language.
【4】What will the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A.The learning materials.
B.The development of Latin.
C.The learning methods.
D.The difficulties in learning Latin.

23、Moran works at the California Academy of Sciences, which is capped by 2.5 acres of living roof where nearly 1.7 million plants, insects and birds flourish. The building has been painstakingly designed to be among one of the most environmentally-friendly in the world. Solar panels that surround the living roof provide 5% of the building’s energy, while water flowing through pipes in the bathrooms also generates power. Automatic skylights open and close to help regulate the temperature inside the building while natural sunlight is used to light the building as much as possible. During his 15 years at the academy (研究院), Moran has helped design, build and now maintain the building’s green systems.
Constructing new environmentally-friendly buildings like the one Moran works in is expected to generate more than 6.5 million jobs by 2030, according to predictions by the International Labor Organization. Next to energy, it will be the second fastest growing sector for green jobs in the coming decades. This jobs growth comes from a growing need for buildings that can deal with multiple problems: meeting tough climate-change targets; rising energy costs, water shortages and an increased risk of extreme weather conditions. This is driving a movement known as green building.
In 2000, just 41 new construction projects were officially rated as green buildings in the US. Last year, that figure had grown to more than 65,000. Elsewhere in the world there have been similar increases and it is a trend that is expected to continue. In China the government has set an ambitious goal as part of its five-year plan that require 50% of all new urban buildings to be green certified.
Moran sees green building as requiring new skills that have not featured much in the building sector in the past. “It takes a different skill set to look after a living roof compared to normal landscaping,” he says. “You need to understand the environment, how the direction of the sun and wind will affect it. But we are also seeing technology being integrated into everything.”
【1】How was the building of the academy planned?
A.Rigidly.
B.Effortlessly.
C.Thoroughly.
D.Strategically.
【2】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Constructing new buildings.
B.Generating more jobs.
C.The growing need for houses.
D.The International Labor Organization.
【3】Why do many countries begin to construct green buildings?
A.To develop a large market.
B.To satisfy humans’ ambitions.
C.To solve different challenges.
D.To control the new movement.
【4】What does Moran possibly think of his present job?
A.Challenging.
B.Risky.
C.Traditional.
D.Urgent.
24、 Food companies engineer junk food to make it addictive. They label their products to make them seem much healthier than they are. Their advertisements target children. All of this is according to a news report read recently by students in a Texas middle school. They were taking part in an experiment run by the University of Chicago and the University of Texas. “I don't understand how this is even legal, ” said a girl who took part in the study.
Researchers had students learn about food-industry advertising strategies. They wanted to know if learning about them would change how kids feel about junk food. All over the world, kids are eating more foods that are high in salt, sugar, and fat. That is partly the result of clever ads that make junk food irresistible. Christopher J. Bryan led the study. He says that when kids question the motives behind junk food ads, they feel like they're fighting injustice. The reward is knowing they are doing the right thing.
Junk food has been linked to health problems such as heart disease, obesity, and diabetes,But in 2018,food companies spent nearly $9 billion TV ads selling unhealthy fare. Companies use varying strategies. An ad with cartoon characters may make chips seen fun to eat. A professional athlete enjoying a sugary drink may make it look cool. Advertisers know that if kids want a product, they'll annoy their parents to buy it. Even parents don't notice the power of ads. By the time they are adults they have been used to junk-food advertising. They just don't see it.
In the Texas study, Bryan had students view ads on iPad. Their job was to write or draw on the screen, to make each ad's message true. For example, a McDonald's ad showed a Big Mac (巨无霸) and the words “The thing you want when you order salad. ” To the end of the sentence, a student added “should be salad”.
Three months after analyzing ads, students were still choosing healthier snacks: milk instead of sugary juices, fruit over cookies. Kids are becoming conscious of themselves as agents in the world. They see a chance to make the world a better place.
【1】What is the purpose of the experiment?
A.To survey what snacks children like best. B.To guide children against unhealthy food.
C.To find ways to make junk food healthy. D.To teach children how to pick out legal food.
【2】How do children feel about junk food advertisements after the experiment?
A.Cool. B.Legal.
C.Funny. D.Misleading.
【3】Why are parents unaware of the harm of junk food advertisements?
A.Parents have never seen such junk food advertisements.
B.Advertisements have blinded them since they were young.
C.The food industry has special advertising strategies for parents.
D.Parents have to agree with their children about the junk food.
【4】How did students conduct the experiment?
A.By correcting unreal advertisements. B.By offering suggestions to food industry.
C.By making up their own advertisements. D.By studying food industry advertising strategies.
