To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago. This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos.Why is it important to protect the dialect culture According to British linguist Harold Palmer, dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language faithfully shows the history, the beliefs and the biases (偏见) of an area, he said.Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his concerns of the disappearing of dialeets, “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Meanwhile, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said.So how did China make this big library “A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen,” said Cao Zhiyun, chief expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers.The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people lean dialects.4．How does the author start the textA. By quoting sayings.B. By sharing a story.C.

Studies reveal that people these days check their phones once every four minutes on average! Some of this usage may be related to work. However, much of it isbecause many apps — particularly social media apps —use “clever techniques” to keep us coming back for more.One of such techniques is to push notificatio ns. You’re getting on with your work or something else when — ping! — a notification pops up on your screen, informing you that a friend has posted something new or commented on your post. It may seem like a small interruption, but it often is enough to break your concentration and make you go back to your phone again. Another method is to make a game of the in-app experience by setting up a competitive goal element. Some apps, for example, uses streaks (连续纪录), which count the number of days you have used the app. If you keep a streak going, you might get a medal or some other rewards. Therefore, keeping one’s streak alive becomes a major reason to return to the app again and again.Once you’ve opened an app, its goal is now to get you continue using it. Messaging apps use a simple but effective trick to keep you engaged even when you’re not writing anything. Have you ever noticed that in some apps, three dots (…) appear to let you know your friend is typing a reply This trick is designed specifically to create your expectation or curiosity. You wonder what your friend is going to say. Well, you’ll have to keep waiting and see. While using social media apps is certainly fun, becoming addicteddefinitely isn’t. Now that you know some tricks used by these apps’ designers, you’ll be better equipped to reduce their influence and keep a healthier relationship with your phone.8．What does the underlined word “reveal” in Paragraph 1 probably meanA. Encourage.B. Predict.C. Prevent.D. Show.9．What is special about an app using streaksA. Ongoing pings will inform you of new posts.B. Competitive games will greatly discourage you.C. Everyday use of the app might earn you a medal.D. Appearance of three dots might disturb your typing. 10．There are “clever techniques” mentioned in the passage.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. five11．What is the best title for the textA. The Tricks That Keep You Glued to Your Phone.B. Can People Break Their Addition to GamesC. Could Technology Further Improve PhonesD. The Social Media Apps That Waste Your Time.For more than 140 years, fishers in Laguna, Brazil have formed an unusual partnership with local dolphins. As soon as the fishers spot a dolphin waving its tail, lifting its head, and diving deeply, they race into the water with their nets. Now, a new study suggests thedolphins are willing partners in this cooperation and that the animals may be guiding the people. They pay close attention to the humans, timing their actions to maximize their catch. Over the years, dolphins have bee n showing the fishers “where to stand and when to get ready to throw their nets” in the dark waters. It’s almost as if the dolphins are training the humans.As much as the fishers were watching the dolphins, the dolphins were also watching the fishers, the study found. Both species must time their actions correctly to catch fish. The people wait with their nets at the ready for a dolphin to approach closely. When a dolphin sees a ready fisher, the animal will give a tip, usually that deep dive, which tells the fisher the mullet (鲻鱼) are right there and it’s time to cast their net. Sometimes, either dolphin or fisher will respond incorrectly, and neither catches fish. Yet, the scientists reported that of nearly 3,000 recorded fishing attempts, nearly 46% were successful. To ensure this accuracy, fishers must understand the dolphins’ tips, learning them over time. Even it can say, “The dolphins are almost like teachers.”Other populations of dolphins have also been known to cooperate with human fishers, rushing fish toward shore or into nets off eastern Australia, Mauritania, and Southeast Asia. But these practices have either disappeared or are in decline.The same fate likely faces the Laguna dolphins if the mullet numbers, which have dropped over the past decade because of overfishing, continue to decline. The practice may escape such a fate, if Brazil regards this dolphin-fisher relationship a cultural heritage, as the scientists propose. “Without mullet,” the expert says, “this partnership will end.”12．How do the dolphins guide the fishers to catch the fishA. They constantly attack fish.B. They use body languages.C. They make strange voices.D. They pull the nets.13．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3A. Introduce a new topic for discussion.B. Provide suggestions for the readers.C. Share some interesting facts about dolphins.D. Conclude the previous paragraphs.14．What can we learn about the dolphin-fisher relationship in LagunaA. It has completely disappeared.B. It develops friendly.C. It needs to be protected.D. It becomes useless and meaningless. 15．In which column of the newspaper can we read the passageA. Art.B. Health.C. Sports.D. Animals.二、七选五16．Do you know how to be a proud traveller ①_________Travellers get excited and a bit nervous before travel.
