average american is likely to have an opinion about a political issue or personality, his opinion is not necessarily informed. for most americans, politics is at best only a hobby; andpolitical awareness must be purchased by giving up more pleasurable activities. few citizens devote much of their leisure time to reading about politics, listening to political news, or watching political programs on television. moreover, even for the concerned citizen with a keen interest in politics, the popular communications media may not give the kind of political information on which intelligent opinions can be based.reporters, broadcasters, editors, and columnists, although themselves political participants select stories of interest to their mass audience, frequently without concern for political significance. americans wanted to learn of the conditions that produced the violent rioting in the watts district of los angeles in 1966 and found little information in advance of the incident that might have permitted them to expect and even prevent, such unrest. before the riots conditions in watts sparked they caused little mass interest and, therefore, were not thought news-worthy by press, radio, and television.36. most americans regard politics as _.a. something that does not deserve serious attentionb. one of the most popular hobbiesc things which can be purchasedd. the best activity if one can afford the time37. the political information provided by the communications media _.a. concerns people who are interested in politicsb. cant help people form correct judgmentc. proves valuable in making policiesd. is based on intelligent opinions38. reporters and editors often choose stories without _.a. considering their political influenceb. making sure of the consequencesc. taking into account the audiences needsd. paying attention to anything but their political value39. the passage is mainly about _.a. the cause of the los angeles riots b. the importance of politics in american lifec. the state of american political life d. the political role of the us mass media bpassenger pigeons (旅鸽)once flew over much of the united states in unbelievable numbers. written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks (群)so large that they darkened the sky for hours.it was calculated that when it population reached its highest point ,they were more than 3billlion passenger pigeonsa number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the united states, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near cincinnati.sadly the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands, commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. the birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.by the closing decades of the 19th century ,the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by americans need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and storms contributed to their decline. soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.in 1897, the state of michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. the last confirmed wipigeon in the united states was shot by a boy in pike county, ohio, in 1900. for a time , a few birds survived under human care. the last of them, known affectionately as martha, died at the cincinnati zoological garden on september 1, 1914.40.in the 18th and early 19teh centuries, passenger pigeons_.a. were the biggest bird in the world b. lived mainly in the south of americac. did great harm to the natural environment d. were the largest bird population in the us41.the underlined word “ undoing” probably refers to the pigeons _.a. escape b. ruin c. liberation d. evolution42.what was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?a. to seek pleasure. b. to save other birds.c. to make money. d. to protect crops.43.what can we infer about the law passed in michigan?a. it was ignored by the public. b. it was declared too late.c. it was unfair. d. it was strict.ca typical lion tamer（驯兽师）in peoples mind is an entertainer holding a whip( 鞭) at a chair. the whip gets all of the attention, but its mostly for show. in reality, it the chair that does the important work. when a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lions face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. with its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. when faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.how often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? how often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight., start a business, travel more)only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?this upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is been the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. the end result is that we feel like we cant focus or that were focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.it doesnt have to be that way. anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: all you need to do is focus on one thing,. you just need to get started. starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. if you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to becometake immediate action. if youre clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.44.why does the lion tamer use a chair?a. to trick the lion. b. to show off his skills.c. to get ready for a fight. d. to entertain the audience.45.in what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?a. they feel puzzled over choices. b. they hold on to the wrong things.c. they find it hard to make changes. d. they have to do something for show46.what is the authors attitude towards the expert mentioned in paragraph3?a. tolerant. b. doubtful. c. respectful. d. supportive.47.when the world is “ waving a chair in your face”, youre advised to _a. wait for a better chance b. break your old habitsc. make a quick decision d. ask for clear guidancedas more and more people speak the global languages of english, chinese, spanish, and arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. in fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the united nations educational , scientific and cultural organization (unesco).in an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations _unesco and national geographic among themhave for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.mark turin, a scientist at the macmillan centre yale university, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the himalayas, is following in that tradition. his recently published book, a grammar of thangmi with an ethnolinguistic introduction to the speakers and their culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in nepal.documenting the thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the himalayan reaches of india , nepal, bhutan, and china . but he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record. at the university of cambridge turin discovered a wealth of important materials-including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field noteswhich had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.now, through the two organizations that he has founded the digital himalaya project and the world oral literature project _turin has started a campaign to make such documents, for the world available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. thanks to digital technology and the widely available internet, turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.48.many scholars are making efforts to _.a. promote global languages b. rescue disappearing languagesc. search for language communities d. set up language research organizations.49.what does “that tradition in paragraph 3 refer to ?a. having full records of the languages b. writing books on language teaching.c. telling stories about language users d. living with the native speaker.50.what is turins book based on?a. the cultural studies b. the documents available at yale. c. his language research in bhutan. d. his personal experience in nepal. 51.which of the following best describe turins work?a. write, sell and donate. b. record, repair and reward.c. collect, protect and reconnect. d. design, experiment and report. edo you know roma people? they were called gypsies(吉普赛人) by europeans because they thought they came from egypt(a country in africa). about a thousand years ago, the roma people left their homeland. they are known as nomads because for hundreds of years many of them have lived in large groups that travel from place to place. they have no real homeland.today, the roma are now living all over the world. they have kept their language and many customs. for example, its important for roma to marry other roma. its also a custom for parents to choose the person their children will marry. roma people get married when they are young, sometimes even as young as 14.romany is the language of the roma people, which was written down only recently. because the roma are nomadic and have moved all over the world, their language has developed in many different ways. it is sometimes hard for roma in one part of the world to understand roma from another part.roma music is famous all over the world, because many roma throughout history have been musicians. their music has influenced many other kinds of music, like classical and jazz.roma dont usually assimilate(同化) into host countries. over many centuries, governments have forbidden them to marry each other, travel or wear their traditional bright clothes. they have their gold taken away from them-treasures (财富) from their parents and grandparents. they have been taken as slaves(奴隶), and have been forced to change their names. but today, the roma are finding ways to live in peace with others while keeping the treasures of their culture. “theres a will within us to continue to live as a people,” says george kaslov, whose family arrived in new york from russia a hundred years ago. “all the other ethnic(种族) groups who came to america assimilate gradually with time going; they lose their customs and language. but not the roma. we hold out.” ( )52. what does the underlined word “nomads” in the 1st paragraph mean? a. people who lived centuries ago. b. people who come from rome. c. people who have their own homelan
