Whenthe world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit（联系）groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settli ng dow n to become farmers, and theirIanguages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade,industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory4/ 15educati on, especially globalisatio n and better com muni cati ons in the past few decades, allhave caused many Ian guages to disappear, and domin ant languages such as En glish, Spanish and Chin ese are in creas in gly tak ing over.At present, the world has about 6,800 Ianguages. The distribution of these Ianguages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few Ianguages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Ian guages;the Americas about 1,000;Africa 2,400;a nd Asia and the Pacific perhaps3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone acco unts for well over 800. The media n nu mber( 中位数)of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world ' s Ianguages are spoken byfewer people tha n that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 Ian guages are close to ext in cti on( 消亡),withonly a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon(eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia( one, with a questi on-mark): none of these seems to have much cha nee of survival.28. What can we infer about Ian guages in hun ter-gatherer times?A. They developed very fast.B. They were large in nu mber.C. They had similar patter ns.D. They were closely conn ected.29. Which of the following best explains “ dominant ” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Complex.B.Adva need.C. Powerful.D.Modern.30. How many Ian guages are spoke n by less tha n 6,000 people at prese nt?A. About 6,800.B.About 3,400.C.About 2,400.D.About 1,200.31. What is the main idea of the text?A. New Ian guages will be created.B. People ' s lifestyle s are reflected in Ianguages.C. Huma n developme nt results in fewer Ian guages.D. Geography determ ines Ian guage evoluti on.D（2018课标全国I ,D）We may think we ' re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices（装置） well after they go out of style. That 's bad news for the environment —and our wallets —as theseoutdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life —from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how homeenergy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smartphones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn 't throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids ' room, and s uddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house, ” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We' re not just keeping these old devices —we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt ' s team, old desktop monitors andbox TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions（排放） more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007window.So what' s the soluti on（解决方案）?The team' s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.32. What does the author think of new devices?A. They are environment-friendly.B. They are no better than the old.C. They cost more to use at home.D. They go out of style quickly.33. Why did Babbitt ' s team conduct the research?A. To reduce the cost of minerals.B. To test the life cycle of a product.C. To update consumers on new technology.D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.34. Which of the followi ng uses the least en ergy?A.The box-set TV.B.The tablet.C.The LCD TV.D.The desktop computer.35. What does the text suggest people do about old electr onic devices?A.Stop using them.B.Take them apart.C.Upgrade them.D.Recycle them.第二节（共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分）（2017课标全国川）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It is a big moment for me personally,” Holmwood told Xinhua from her home inSweden. “If you are a fan of Lord Of The Rings and are looking for the next best thing, A Hero Born is definitely the book for you,” Waterstone, one of Britain’s big gest chain bookstores, said on its website.Jin Yong(1924-2018) is the pen name of Louis Cha. He is one of the best-selling Chinese authors with over 300 million copies of his works sold in the Chinese-speaking world.Despite their popularity, only few of J in Yong’s martial arts novels have been translated into English. The Legends of the Condor Heroes, one of his most well-known works, covers the Song Dynasty and features hundreds of characters, telling a story full of gravity-defying kung fu, treachery, loyalty and love.Holmwood, who has also translated works by other contemporary Chinese authors, said she became very involved in the details and admired Jin Yong’s brilliant writing. As a fan of Chinese classical poetry and literature, she recommended Jin Y ong’s novels to a book agent in 2012. “It was mainly because of the quality of the writing and also because of his status in Chinese culture. The publisher in Britain was very excited to see there was such a big beloved author who still hadn’t been transla ted into English, at least not by a trade publisher,” she recalled.“Of course it does make me nervous that the translation will be read against the original in a way that most translations don’t. So I have taken on the task with a humble heart,” she said.The Times called the book she translated “hugely entertaining” and selected it as Book of the Month.34.What can we learn from the passage?A.Jin Yong’s Legends of the Condor Heroes was published on Thursday.B.With the pen name Louis Cha, Jin Yong is the best-selling Chinese author.C.A Hero Born is considered as successful as Lord Of The Rings.D.Anna Holmw ood has translated most of Jin Yong’s brilliant novels.35.What’s the attitude of Holmwood towards Jin Yong?A.

They leave when the clocks tells them they’re done.These days, the time is everywhere: not just on clocks or watches, but on cellphones and computers. That may be a bad thing, particularly at work. New research shows that clockClock-timers organize their day by blocks of minutes and hours. For example: a meeting from 9 a. m. to 10 a. m, research from 10 a. m to noon, etc. On the other hand, task-timers have a list of things they want to accomplish. They work down the list, each task starts when the previous task is completed. It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning.What, then, are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways? Does one make us more productive? Better at the tasks at hand? Happier? In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier, they had participants organize different activitiesfrom project planning, holiday shopping, to yoga-by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under “ clock time” vs “ task time”. They found clock timers to be more efficient(有效率的) but less happy because they felt little control over their lives. Task timers are happier and more creative, but less productive. They tend to enjoy the moment when something good is happening, and seize opportunities that come up.The researchers argue that task-based organizing tends to be undervalued and under-supported in the business culture. This might be a small change to the way we view work and the office, but the researchers argue that it challenges a widespread characteristic ofthe economy; work organized by clock time. While most people will still probably need, and be, to some extent, clock-timers, task-based timing shouldbe used when performing a job that requires more creativity. It’ll make those tasks easier, and the tas k-doers will be happier.38. What does the author say a clock-based work?A. It makes workers very tired.B. It reminds workers to leave on time.C. It makes workers aware of the precious time.D. It may have a bad effect on the creativity.39. What does the underlined word “hinder”in paragraph 2 mean?A. Block.B. Consider.C. Increase.D. Value.40. What did Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier find in their experiments about clock-timers?A. They seize opportunities as they come up.B. They always get their work done in time.C. They tend to be more productive.D. They can control their lives.41. What do the researchers suggest?A. Task-based timing is preferred for doing creative work.B. It is important to keep a balance between work and life.C. Performing creative jobs tends to make workers happier.D. A scientific standard should be adopted in job evaluation.DGiven the recent interest in green buildings in the media, let’s think differently. Instead of focusing on increasing the supply of energy, what if we focus on reducing demand?Can we start with ending the open-door practice of street-front shops? While cool air fromthese shops is refreshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning process.So it must be possible to look for changes in regulations that would encourage more energy-saving designs. For instance, if we fix ceiling fans, air-conditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year. Ceiling fans use far less energy. They were in a year air conditioners could stay if ceiling fans were fixed.In homes built under the small-house policy in New Territories, the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans. If the 9-meter maximum building height regulation were relaxed, ceiling fans could be fixed to reduce energy use. Currentthinking in sustainable building design and operation involves integrated(协调统一的) design, that is, bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction.For integrated design to succeed, all parties must come together and think beyond each person’s circle of influence. Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design. Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built. Positive project outcomes may include reduced air-conditioning load, reduced power use for electric lighting, and a reduction in the amount of materials used.We need to ask if we are ready to look beyond our own small circles and seek an improved approach to building design. By that I mean an integrated design resulting in more sustainable buildings.42. What's the author's attitude towards the open-door practice of the street shops?A. Supportive.B. Disapproving.C. Optimistic.D. Uncaring.43. Why does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans?A. To follow an old practice.B. To help reduce energy use.C. To completely replace air conditioners.D. To help cut down on daily expenses.44. What's the key to making sustainable buildings a reality?A. All parties should get started at the same time.B. The basic architecture should be finished first.C. Properdesign and performance to achieve energy reduction.D. Seeking the small-house policy and some successful architects.45. What would be the best title for the text?A. Waste less, live betterB. Goodbye, air conditioningC. How to reduce the energy costD.
