26、Experts say over half of the world’s seven thousand languages are in danger of disappearing. Every two weeks one language disappears.

Sometimes a language disappears immediately when the last person speaking it dies. Or, a local language might disappear more slowly. This happens when an official language is used more often and children stop learning the local language of their parents. Official languages often represent a form of control over a group of people.

Throughout history, the language spoken by a powerful group spreads across a civilization. The more powerful culture rarely respects the language and culture of smaller groups. Smaller cultures lose their local language as the language of the culture in power has a stronger influence.

Experts say protecting languages is very important for many reasons. Languages contain the histories, ideas and knowledge of a culture. Languages also contain valuable information about local medicines, plants and animals.

Many endangered languages are spoken by native cultures in close contact with the natural world. Their ancient languages contain a great deal of information about environmental systems and species of plants and animals that are unknown to scientists. As the last speakers of a language die off, the valuable information carried within a language also disappears. Language is, in many ways, a window to the mind and the world.

Any hope for protecting languages can be found in children and their willingness to learn. It is these young people who can keep this form of culture alive for future generations.

【1】Which of the following is true?

A．There have existed 7,000 languages in history.

B．No one can prevent languages from disappearing.

C．There will not be any local languages left some day.

D．Half of the world’s languages will possibly disappear.

【2】Language is a window to the mind and the world because ________.

A．it represents the working of the human minds

B．local languages are more closely related to culture

C．ancient languages can reveal ancient people’s thoughts

D．it contains information about both culture and nature

【3】According to the passage, a language will be better protected when ________.

A．children are interested in learning it

B．people are forced to speak it

C．it is linked to a powerful culture

D．it keeps pace with the times

【4】The passage mainly discusses ________.

A．local languages

B．language protection

C．the power of language

D．language and culture

27、A healthy amount of sunshine may be the secret to staying young. British scientists have discovered.

Vitamin D is produced naturally by the skin in response to (对…的反应) sunlight and may help to slow the ageing process and protect against heart disease, according to the study.

Researchers from King's College London studied 2,160 women aged between 18 and 79, looking at their telomeres-a biological marker of ageing found in DNA. As people get older, their telomeres get shorter and they become more susceptible (易受伤害的) to certain illnesses.

But the study found women with high levels of vitamin D had comparatively longer telomeres-a sign of being biologically younger and healthier.

The study suggests vitamin D may help to slow down the ageing process of DNA, and therefore the ageing process as a whole.

Lead researcher Dr Brent Richards said, "These results are exciting because they show for the first time that people who have higher levels of vitamin D may age more slowly than people with lower levels of vitamin D." This could help to explain how vitamin D has a protective effect on many ageing related diseases, such as heart disease and cancer."

Professor Tim Spector, a co-author of the report, added, " Although it might sound absurd(荒唐的), it's possible that the same sunshine which may increase our risk of skin cancer may also have a healthy effect on the general ageing process.

Vitamin D made by the action of sunlight on the skin accounts for 90 percent of the body's supply, but lower levels can also be got through food such as fish, eggs and breakfast cereals(粥).

Other studies have suggested the vitamin plays a key role in protecting against cancer and heart disease.

【1】A certain amount of sunshine helps people stay young because _________.

A. people feel happy and energetic in the sun

B. vitamin D may help to slow the ageing process

C. sunshine protects people against heart disease

D. vitamin D makes one's skin look young and healthy

【2】From Brent Richards, we know that ________.

A. sunlight causes skin cancer to people with high level of vitamin D

B. the study generally has a healthy effect on the general ageing process

C. the higher levels of vitamin D people have, the more slowly people may age

D. vitamin D can only be got from fish, eggs and breakfast cereals

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A. Sunlight does more good than harm to our health.

B. Telomeres are important as they are signs of ageing of the DNA.

C. Sunlight can be dangerous as it causes skin cancer.

D. Vitamin D can also be gained from food.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A. Secret of Staying Young

B. Sunlight and Vitamin D

C. Vitamin D Helps Slow Ageing

D. Sunlight and Health

29、   When it comes to romance, no one does it better than the French. This is believed to be true of their movies, too. Unlike the Hollywood blockbusters (大片) you may be used to, French films are "usually a more artistic statement about being in the world" , noted The Guardian.

From Oct 8 to Oct 29, in cooperation with the French embassy in China, the China Film Archive and China National Film Museum are presenting classic and critically acclaimed (备受赞誉的) French movies, including Le Havre (2011), Mia et le Migou (2008), and Le Voyage dans la Lune (1902).

Sha Dan, curator (策划人) of the China Film Archive, explained to the media what to expect from the film series, and revealed how first- -time viewers can best appreciate French movies.

Q: Why should I watch French movies?

A: French films have a lot of virtues. For one thing, they use dialogue and plot, instead of visual effects, to drive the story. For another, they stress diversity (多元). While Hollywood movies are often about universal values, French movies have French culture or regional cultures deeply rooted in them. You have to understand them in their cultural context. That' s what sometimes makes French movies difficult to understand.

Q: How can a Chinese audience appreciate French movies?

A: You need to get used to their way of filming. When shooting two people talking to each other, the traditional way is to film each person face-forward as they take turns speaking. However, French movies are filmed in more experimental ways, like switching from a close shot to a long shot.

Also, you should search for background information. The movie' s title and its director can reflect its ideas and storyline. For example, Les Enfants du Paradis (1945), also known as Children of Paradise, tells the story of beautiful Garance and the four men who love her in their own ways. Garance meets these men in a theater, and the "Paradis" in the movie title is an informal French name for a theater' s gallery.

【1】What is the author' s purpose in writing this text?

A.To recommend some classic French movies.

B.To help readers to better appreciate French movies.

C.To compare French movies with Hollywood blockbusters.

D.To describe the development and features of French movies in great detail.

【2】Which of the following is a characteristic of French movies?

A.They are often about universal values.

B.They usually have really good visual effects.

C.They attach a lot of importance to French culture and French regional cultures.

D.They are sometimes hard to understand because of their complex plots.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE about French movies according to the text?

A.They are mostly romances and are usually artistic.

B.They often involve more close shots than long shots.

C.They prefer to use the traditional way of shooting two people talking to each other.

D.Their titles and directors can help viewers learn background information.
