people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.kristina wegscheider from california first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “it opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.in foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. it is challenging. this is what drives young people to travel alone.it is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.chris richardson decided to leave his sales job in australia to go traveling last year.he set up a website, the aussie nomad, to document his adventures. he said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “the people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，” said the 30yearold.richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”， which “makes you a more confident person that was ready to deal with anything”. he said: “the feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when im dealing with a difficult task. i walk around with my head up because i know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”the great 19th century explorer john muir once said: “only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”46which of the following will kristina wegscheider agree with?atraveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.bit is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.cit is comfortable to travel around without a friend.dtraveling abroad helps people to find new things.47traveling alone is challenging because _.ait will finally build your character byou have to make things on your own cyou depend on yourself whatever happensdit is hard for you to prove yourself to others48what can we infer about chris richardson?ahe started traveling at an early age.bhe was once shot in the arm.chis website inspires others a lot.dhe used to work as a salesman.boprah winfrey，born in 1954，is all american talk show host，best known for her multiawardwinning talk show. she is also，according to some assessments，the most influential woman in theworld. its no surprise that her endorsement(认可)can bringovernight sales fortune that defeats most，if not all，marketingcampaigns .the star features about 20 products each year on her“favorite things” show.theres even a term for it: the oprah effect.her television career began unexpectedly. when she was 16 year old，she had the idea of being a journalist to tell other peoples stories in a way that made a difference in their lives and the world.she was on television by the time she was 19 years old. and in 1986 she started her own television show with a continuous determination to succeed at first time magazine wrote，“people would have doubted oprah winfreys swift rise to host of the most popular talk show on tv .in a field ruled by white males，she is a black female of big size. as interviewers go，she is no match for，say，what she lacks in journalistic toughness.she makes up for in plainspoken curiosity，rich humor and，above all understanding guests with sad stories to tell tend to bring out a tear in oprahs eye .they，in turn，often find themselves exposing things they would not imagine telling anyone，much less a national tv audience.”“i was nervous about the competition and then i became my own competition raising the bar every year，pushing，pushing，pushing myself as hard as i knew. it doesnt matter how far you might rise. at some point you are bound to fall if youre constantly doing what we do, raising the bar. if youre constantly pushing yourself higher，higher the law of averages，you will at some point fall. and when you do i want you to know this，remember this：there is no such thing as failure. failure is just life trying to move us in another direction”as oprah addressed graduates at harvard on

describes oprah winfrey?adull and pushy. bhonest but tough.ccaring and determined. dcurious but weak.cdogs and cats are not for students who live in the dormitory. just think about the noise, the smell and all that wild behaviorchewing on whatever they can get their teeth on, or knocking over the trash can. but dont feel sad. there are smaller and less destructive pets to make your dormitory life colorful.betta fishthey make great pets with their big personality and astonishing colors, ranging from bright red, dark blue to lemon yellow. unlike many fish, most bettas react to their owners presence and become more active when they are nearby, which is unusual in the fish world.chinchillaswithout bad smell, about the size of a rabbit and with fur so dense that they cant get pests such as fleas(跳蚤), the friendly creature originally from the andes mountains in south america makes an ideal indoor pet. chinchillas are very social animals, so if you only have one, you will become its family. in cold winter days, in a glace at this fury pet in a dorm will bring you a lot of warmth.land hermit crabsin a society where owners are often asked “are they tasty？”， land hermit crabs are

_.aintroduce the best way to keep pets boffer useful tips for choosing petscinform students of lifestyle of pets drecommend some dormitory petsdcan a language become extinct? a language can become extinct when the last person who can speak it passes away. or more likely when the secondlast person who speaks it dies because then there is no one left to talk to. according to linguists (语言学家) there is nothing unusual about a single language dying out. but what is happening today is quite remarkable. according to the recent statistics, there are approximately 6,000 languages in the world as we speak. of these, about half are going to die out in the next century. there are several reasons as to why a language can eventually die out. these range from natural disasters, such as hurricanes, to sociological factors, like cultural assimilation, in which the culture of a minority group is gradually replaced by a stronger one. the former can cause tribes to leave their natural habitat(栖息地) and therefore become fewer and fewer in number. however, it doesnt happen very frequently. in fact, the latter is a much bigger threat and it is responsible for the extinction of a lot of languages in countries like the usa and australia. for instance, chemehuevi is one of the languages which is really close to dying out since its sole speaker is an old, yet healthy, man named johnny hill, jr. it is very important for as many languages as possible to be preserved. scientists have been trying to raise peoples awareness on how certain tribes have specific words which cannot be expressed in lets say english simply because there is no equal meaning. namely, the yupik of alaska have 99 names to describe different layers of ice formation, or how the tofa of siberia classify reindeer (驯鹿). in other words, when languages die out, mankinds wisdom reduces. on a happier note, there are many famous cases which show what can be done to preserve languages in danger of extinction. in particular, the maori in new zealand have created socalled “language nests”： organizations which help children under five learn the language. they provide them with a setting where they are exposed to the language intensively so that they get to realise that communicating in maori is as natural as communicating in english. there is always, of course, the risk that the children wont keep the language alive after they have left their “nests”. nevertheless, hope dies hard.57what most probably caused the death of languages in the usa and australia?ahabitats were lost. bnatural disasters struck.cnative cultures disappeared. dforeign languages were spoken.58in paragraph 3, the author states his opinion by _ alisting definitions bproviding examplescpresenting causes and effects dcomparing with other opinions 59what does the author really intends to tell us in the last paragraph?aattempts may not produce the desired effect.benvironment is important in language protection.cpeople can do little about a languages extinction.dmeasures should be taken in spite of difficulties.60the author believes that _. aall languages are finally going to die outbhuman wisdom can be reflected in languagescthe protective approaches have proved ineffectivedthe current situation of languages hardly requires attention第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）a. causes of overusing fluoride ( 氟化物
