21、Taktak tabulaba?

You probably don’t know how to answer that question—unless you happen to be one of the about 430 people in the world who speak a language called Matukar Panau. Then you would know it means “What are we doing?” Matukar Panau is one of the world’s rarest languages. It is spoken in just two small coastal villages in Papua New Guinea.

Several years ago, David Harrison, a language expert didn’t know much about Matukar Panau either. No one had ever recorded or even studied its words and rules. With so few speakers, the language risked disappearing soon. It was endangered.

Harrison didn’t want that to happen to Matukar Panau. So in 2009, he set out for Papua New Guinea. His goal: use modern technology to help the remaining speakers preserve their native tongue.

But Matukar Panau is far from the only language facing loss. Studies suggest that by the end of this century, nearly half of the 7,000 languages now spoken worldwide could disappear. They’re in danger partly because the only people left speaking them are elderly adults, Harrison says. When those individuals die, their language will die with them. In addition, children may discard a native language and instead use more common global languages, such as Chinese, English or Spanish.

In the United States alone, 134 native American languages are endangered. Harrison says, “language hotspots” exist all over the world. These are places with endangered languages that haven’t been recorded. They include the state of Oklahoma, pockets of central and eastern Siberia, parts of northern Australia and communities in South America.

【1】The purpose of using the question “Taktak tabulaba?” is to ________.

A. introduce a new foreign language

B. introduce the topic of the text

C. show the difficulty understanding Matukar Panau

D. stress the importance of Matukar Panau

【2】What did Harrison go to PaPua New Guinea for?

A. Learning their native language.

B. Leaning their modern technology.

C. Helping preserve their endangered tongue.

D. Teaching the natives a new language.

【3】The underline word “discard” in Paragraph 5 means _______.

A. get rid of

B. pick up

C. hear of

D. learn about

【4】The last two paragraphs imply that endangered languages are _________.

A. dying quickly in Siberia

B. popular in some special places

C. becoming a worldwide problem

D. some native tongues

22、B

Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think．They may let you surf the Internet，listen to music and snap photos wherever you are...but they also turn you into a workaholic，it seems．A study suggests that，by giving you access to emails at all times．the all-singing．all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day．

Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles．The study by technology retailer Pixmania，reveals the average UK working day is between nine and ten hours，but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails，or making work calls．Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails．Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day，with nine out

of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours．Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up，while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night．

Ghadi Hobeika，marketing director of Pixmania，said：“The ability to access literally millions of apps，keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has

made smartphones valuable for many people．However，there aredrawbacks．Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day，seven days a week，and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work．The more constantly in contact we become。The more is expected of us in a work capacity．”

24、Albert Einsrein is known as the father of modern physics, but he may not be the man your kids should aspire(有志) to be. Instead, the person we should be looking up to is the productive Thomas Alva Edison.

Researchers at Penn State and William Paterson universities came to that conclusion after conducting a series of studies with college students and finding that students were more motivated by the hard-working Edison type than Einstein’s “genius is my birthright” model.

“There’s a misleading message out there that says you have to be a genius in order to be a scientist,” says study co-author Danfei Hu at Penn State, who thinks this may be a big cause of people not choosing science and missing, out on a great career. “Struggling is a normal part of doing science and exceptional talent is not the only precondition for succeeding in science! It's important we help spread this message in science education.” she continues.

In one study conducted by Hu and Janet N. Ahn of William Paterson University, participants read the same story--about the typical difficulty faced by a scientist--with half told the hero of the story was Einstein and the other half told it was Edison. It may have been the same story, but knowing it involved Einstein prompted students to assume he overpowered his struggles using his giant brain. When told Edison was the hero, students more with the idea that he outworked his problems. Indeed, the latter students were more motivated to complete a series of math problems.       

Einstein’s success is commonly linked to extraordinary talent while Edison’s is usually linked to his persistence and diligence. That’s not to say Einstein put little effort into revolutionizing science. He worked as hard as anyone. But the popular understanding remains that his brain--something that can’t be “emulated”--was like no other. So why bother trying to follow in his footsteps? Edison, however, a man with a huge number of successes as well as plenty of failures, but finally someone who made the world a better place, is the kind of man we can all aspire to be.

【1】What did the researchers discover in their studies?

A．Hard workers are better role models than geniuses.

B．Young people have unreasonable admiration for geniuses.

C．Edison's contribution to science is greater than Einstein’s.

D．Young people are not familiar with Einstein’s and Edison’s work.

【2】What does Hu suggest in science education?

A．Setting examples.

B．Encouraging failures.

C．Advocating hardwork.

D．Discovering talent.

【3】Which might be the author’s view on Einstein?

A．Not productive but influential as a physicist.

B．A genius who succeeded in science easily.

C．A great physicist with many hidden virtues.

D．Well-known genius and an unacknowledged hard worker.

【4】The underlined word “emulated” can be replaced by________.

A．examined

B．copied

C．wasted

D．damaged
