14.Like many languages spoken by people,Ayapaneco is dying.Only two people in the world still speak it,and they won′t talk to each other.
Spoken in Mexico for centuries,Ayapaneco is one of 68 surviving languages in the mainly Spanish-speaking nation.The two speakers are Manuel Segovia and Isidro Velazquez.Though they live only 500 meters from each other in the village,the two men seldom talk to each other.Daniel,an American expert,who is working to make a dictionary of Ayapaneco,says the two men"don′t have a lot in common",and that Segovia can be"active"while Velasquez tends to mind his own business and stay at home.
While Segovia still speaks to his wife and son in Ayapaneco,neither of them can manage more than a few words.Velasquez hardly speaks his native tongue any more.Daniel is working to preserve the language in dictionary form before its last surviving speakers pass away.According to Daniel,Ayapaneco and other languages began dying out with the introduction of public Spanish education in the mid-20th century.For decades,local children weren′t allowed to speak anything else.Many people to cities,starting in the 1970s,also helped the dying out of native languages.
Ayapaneco is the name given to the language; Segovia and Velazquez call it"Nuumte Oote",which means"true voice".Neither man,however,speaks the language identically.The dictionary will contain two versions of the language when it comes out later this year.Those behind the dictionary aren′t the only ones trying to save Ayapaneco.The National Language Institute plans to hold classes so that Segovia and Velasquez can pass on what they know to children,which they don′t agree to.
It is thought that there are about 6,000 languages spoken on Earth and that about half will disappear over the next 100 years.Let′s hope the"true voice"isn′t one of them.

64.Segovia and Velazquez seldom talk to each other in Ayapaneco because theyD.
A.both dislike the language
B.hate each other
C.are too busy to talk to each other
D.don′t share the same interest
65.Which are the main reasons why the language Ayapaneco started dying out?C
a.No teachers liked to teach it.
b.Local children had to speak Spanish.
c.The surviving speakers didn′t like to use it.
d.Many villagers went to live in cities.
A.a,b B.a,c C.b,d D.b,c
66.How does the National Language Institute try to save Ayapaneco?B
A.Write a dictionary of Ayapaneco.
B.Let Ayapaneco be taught at school.
C.Introduce a public Ayapaneco education.
D.Ask villagers to speak Ayapaneco.
67.From the text we learn that the authorD.
A.agrees that it is natural that Ayapaneco should die out
B.thinks Daniel′s effort to preserve Ayapaneco won′t work
C.thinks highly of Ayapaneco and wants people to learn it
D.hopes that Ayapaneco will not die out in the future.

分析 像人类的许多语言一样,Ayapaneco 是快要灭绝的语言,该语言在世界上目前只有两个人会讲,专家们想挽救这种语言.

解答 64.D.细节理解题.根据第二段Daniel,an American expert,who is working to make a dictionary of Ayapaneco,says the two men"don't have a lot in common,"可知两人没有共同的兴趣.故D正确.
65.C.细节理解题.根据文章第四段可知Ayapaneco语言逐渐消失的主要原因是当地的孩子不得不讲西班牙语和很多人搬到城市居住.故C正确.
66.B.细节理解题.根据倒数第二段最后一句The National Language Institute plans to hold classes so that Segovia and Velasquez can pass on what they know to children可知学校的阿亚帕涅科语教是为了拯救阿亚帕涅科语.故B正确.
67.D.推理判断题.根据文章最后一段特别是最后一句Let's hope the"true voice"isn't one of them.可知作者希望Ayapaneco这种语言在100年后不会消失.因此选D项.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

5.Most times,what people accept as hope is a feeling or thought that something desired may happen.The word hope is a guarantee(保证)of happiness without a doubt.Hope in ancient Greek is"elpis"meaning"to expect or look forward with pleasure".Orison Swett Marden says"there is no medicine as great and powerful expectation of something better tomorrow."
Samuel Esson Jonah is one of the world's most influential personalities of this century.When he was young,mining for Africans was hell on earth,because they were treated very badly and there were no key positions in the industry for them because it was believed that the black could not manage their affairs successfully.Even in the face of all these challenges and discriminations,Jonah hoped to head the industry someday.When he told his workmates and parents about his hope,he became a laughing stock.Not giving up on his hope,he worked hard toward it and at last he became president of Anglo Gold Ashanti.
Hope without doubt helps you to work hard until you finally achieve your aims or goals.Hope keeps one alive and also helps us persevere (坚持) to succeed.Someone may say"I've tried and failed several times".As a matter of fact,failure is inevitable(无法避免的) sometimes but that doesn't overrule your ability to succeed.The key is that you can't give up your hope.Our history has seen many great achievers.Though they hoped they could make it,they also failed; however,they didn't give up on their hope.They worked even harder and eventually succeeded.
Today when we can celebrate so many of them for their courage,remember"faith without work is dead",so is your dream or hope.Samuel Similes says"Hope is the companion(伙伴) of power,the mother of success,for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles (奇迹)."So don't let your hope down.

20.First celebrated in 2013,the International Day of Happiness at the beginning of spring was established by the United Nations (UN) to remind us that"the pursuit of happiness is a fundamental human goal."
Setting aside a day to appreciate things that we take for granted-good health,family,and friends-was first suggested by the tiny South Asian country of Bhutan.It also came up with the idea of establishing the Gross National Happiness (GNH) Index (指数) in the 1970's.Bhutan,which has an annual per capita income of about $ 2,300,or 21 percent of the world's average,believes that material wealth,measured by the Gross Domestic Product (CDP) Index,is not a meaningful measurement of human happiness.
What can you do to celebrate the festival besides cracking a big smile?
•Give or receive a (free) hug
Seek out a sibling,parent,or friend,and make their day by giving them a warm hug.
•Take the"Happy Acts"challenge
It is the brainchild of the"Live Happy"magazine.It encourages people to perform a random good deed and post it on the magazine's social media sites or tweet about it at Happy Acts.The actions can be as simple as sharing a fun photo or calling a grandparent.
•Treat yourself
Sometimes all it takes to make one happy is a little indulgence (放纵).So grab a cup of cocoa or your favorite tub of ice cream and snuggle up (依偎) with a blanket and good book!
•Start a conversation
With the popularity of the Internet,we tend to spend more time looking at our screens than the person in front of us.Tuck your computers or smart phones away for one evening and spend time with your parents.You might be surprised at the joy it will bring them and you.
Finally,don't forget to love yourself for who you are and be happy every single day!International Day of Happiness is a reminder that joy is all around us-you just have to reach out and grab it!

7.There were many famous poets from different periods of time in Chinese history,and thousands of their poems are still read and appreciated today.
To arouse people's interest in those classic Chinese poems and promote cultural heritage,China Central Television ( CCTV) produced a TV show-Chinese Poetry Competition.The finale (终场)of the hit show's second season was shown on Feb.7this year.
Wu Yishu,16,who studies at the High School Affiliated to udan University in Shanghai,came out on top.In an earlier episode (一集),Wu wowed the audience when performing in a section entitled"Feihualing".The game's theme was"yue",meaning"moon"or"month"in Chinese.She recited the lines from the Classic of Poetry,the earliest collection of poems in China:"In July,the crickets (蟋蟀)are in the field.In August,they are in the yard.In September they are at the door.In October,they enter and crawl under our beds."
"I really admire her knowledge of poems,"said Huang Zijin,16,a Senior 2student from Ningbo High School in Zhejiang province,"The first time I saw her wearing traditional Han clothing on TV,I was very impressed by her classical looks.She fulfills all my fantasies for classic Chinese women's talents.What's more,she always appears so calm throughout the show,which is very unusual for her age."
As the old saying goes,"One who is filled with knowledge always behaves with elegance,""Learning poems isn't about winning or losing.The power of poetry lies in shaping one's
view of life and developing one's inner world,"said Li Bo,an expert guest at the Chinese Poetry Competition's second season.
When it comes to teaching people about poetry,Li Dingguang,the show's academic advisor,suggested that teachers should explain more about the beauty of the poetry from both the aesthetic(审美的)and emotional sides,and guide the students to lose themselves in the poems'rhythmic(有节奏的)and rhyming lines.
"Although the amount of ancient Chinese poetry in the textbooks of primary and secondary schools has increased,many students still learn them for exams,"Li Dingguang told China.org.cn."Therefore,it's important to help students truly appreciate the artistry and fun of poetry."

4.Twenty years ago I discovered I was unexpectedly pregnant.I was on my own and in an extremely limited financial situation.So I worked at a pet shop.Having little money,I started losing weight instead of gaining it.
There was a neighbor woman I had visited with a couple of times,and she started working at the pet shop too.Every day,for lunch,she would produce large,organic salads and other very healthy meals.To my surprise she insisted that I have some of her lunch.I tried to refuse,but she was determined.Puzzled,I managed to eat,and when I admitted to everyone at work that I was pregnant,she was very excited,and kept on feeding me,despite the fact that I couldn't hold it down for very long.
She told me that the body very efficiently directed the nutrition to my developing baby.All through my pregnancy she was a guardian angel,looking after me.We became very close friends,and she and her husband even attended my daughter's birth.They ended up taking us into their home and we became part of their family.
One day I mentioned how much I appreciated how she had shared her lunch with me when we worked at the pet shop.She smiled a secretive smile.She told me"I just knew you were part of our family!"I was stunned (不知所措) as I considered this new information.Here I had been alone and pregnant and poor,only to be taken under wing by this woman.
This is,to me,just another of the endless miracles that have lifted me up through my life.In reality I was never alone.

Students in our school have held a heated discussion about whether it is necessary to hold parties to celebrate different festivals.Opinions vary from person to person.Some students are in favor of the activities,which they think make their after-class life colorful and thus relieve some study pressure.(高分句型1)Besides,not only does holding activities help them know each other better but it improves their abilities.What's more,some can display themselves and earn respect.(赞成及其原因)
However,some students hold a different view.Firstly,it will take a lot of time to rehearse,which affects their study.Secondly,the list of performance is limited and only a small number of students have the opportunity to take part in it.Thirdly,a lot of waste is produced after the activity,which is harmful to the environment.(反对及其原因)
Personally,I think it is good to hold parties,in which I can always enjoy myself and get relaxed.(高分句型2)At the same time,our classmates may have a really great time by enjoying my performance.(作者的看法及原因).
