He was known for his strength. But confirming details of John Henrys life is impossible because no one knows for sure if he really lived. However, John Henry is based, in part, on real events.John Henry grew up in a world that didnt let children stay children for long. Before John Henry was six, he carried stones for workers building a nearby railroad. By ten, he worked from early in the morning until night. By the time John Henry was a young man, he was one of the best steel-drivers.He could work for hours and so fast that his hammer moved like lightning. John Henry went to work as a steel-driver for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. One day, a salesman came to the work area with a drilling machine powered by steam. He said it could drill holes faster than twelve men working together. The railroad company planned to buy the machine if it worked as well as salesman said.John Henry looked at the machine and saw pictures of the future: machines replacing Americas best laborers. So he decided to compete. At first, the steam-powered machine worked twice faster than he did. Then, he started working with one hammer in each hand, faster and faster.Suddenly, there was a sound like the mountain breaking. The salesman was afraid. Then the machine broke down. However, John Henry was still at work. He kept working until his heart burst. His blood was everywhere. But he still held the hammers. Soon, the machines took the place of the steel-drivers.

After identifying where the endangered languages were, they looked for any environmental, social or economic factors those languages might have in common, such as rugged terrain or rapid population growth. “We found that on a global scale, language speaker declines are strongly linked to economic growth-that is, declines are particularly occurring in economically developed regions,” Amano said.“One important implication of this new study is that languages in the tropics and the Himalayan region are likely to be increasingly threatened in the near future, because these regions still have many local indigenous(土生土长的) languages with a small number of speakers, and at the same time are experiencing rapid economic growth,” Amano said.Economic growth may endanger languages for a variety of reasons. For instance, speakers of endangered languages may view another more dominant language as offering economic opportunities, and thus give up their own languages. There are other important factors that might endanger languages, the researchers said. For instance, policies regarding how languages are used and taught in schools can be very different among countries and even within each country, and these factors may explain more detailed patterns in language endangerment.Amano suggested it could be possible to forecast future threats to linguistic diversity. “There exists detailed information about projected future changes in the environment, economies and climates,” Amano said. “Using such information, together with the findings of this study and further analysis, we would like to understand what will happen and which languages will be threatened in particular.”28. Ainu is mentioned in paragraph 1 in order to tell us that .A. Japanese is now seriously threatened.B. several languages are likely to disappear in the future.C. Japanese is made up of many languages.D. few people speak Japanese in the world.29. What may endanger the languages most according to Amano?A. The diversity of the society.B. The decline of the population.C. The development of the economy.D. The improvement of the environment.30. The writer shows us the reasons why languages are endangered by .A. telling some interesting stories.B. doing some experiments.C. offering some examples.D. making a list of important facts.31. We can learn from the last paragraph that .A. worlds languages are developing rapidly.B. future threats to languages can be predicted.C. the study is very important to languages.D. it is rather hard for us to protect languages.DFor years magazine publishers focused most of their attention on selling ads in their magazines and devoted less attention to proving the ads were effective. Now, many new advertising media have emerged, such as TV, radio and the Internet. Moreover, there are more than twice as many magazines competing for media dollars as there were a decade ago. With so many media options available, marketers now want reliable proof that magazine advertising is effective and can build brand awareness, help position a brand, or actually deliver sales.Magazines have typically promised advertisers exposure or access to a stable audience such as fashion-conscious young women, sports-crazy men or car lovers. However, advertisers want evidence more than exposure. They want proof that seeing an ad for Calvin Klein jeans in COSMO makes readers more likely spend 80 buying them or that placing an ad for a Volkswagen Jetta in Rolling Stone helps the brand stick in consumers minds long enough to influence their next car purchase.Magazines increasingly have to compete against media that can provide evidence that their ads indeed to do something. For example, the Internet can show the data instantly because consumers movements and purchases can be tracked through their mouse clicks. And with new digital technology, television sets will soon become transactional(交易的) tools, allowing consumers to order information and goods right from their sofas with a remote control. Magazines can not afford to wait any longer to prove that they work.The magazines industry is taking steps to prove its effectiveness. The industrys lead trade group, Magazine Publishers of America(MPA), recently spent half a million dollars investigating ways to prove the magazines effectiveness. One of the groups studies found that ads in magazines increased short-term sales of products and also brought more sales over time. Sales increased among magazine-exposed households for 8 of the 10 brands measured. In short, magazines must prove that their connection with readers will increase sales for the companies that advertise in them.32. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The magazine ads should prove their effectiveness in promoting sales.B. The magazine industry is going down because of more advertising media.C. The magazine publishers shouldnt focus on ads instead of their magazines quality.D. More and more magazines are competing in the ads market.33. Why should the magazine industry prove that magazine advertising is effective?A. Because many products are bad for peoples health.B. Because people are worried about the quality of the products.C. Because more and more media compete with it.D. Because it gets less and less share of the ads.34. According to the third paragraph, TV sets .A. have proved their effectiveness by offering their mouse clicks.B. are the most popular tools for consumers to order goods right from their sofas.C. havent become one of the tools for consumers to order information and goods.D. are the most effective media in helping to position a brand and deliver sales.35. What can we learn from the study carried out by MPA?A. The ads in magazines could cause large sales immediately.B. The ads in magazines can only bring into short-term sales.C. The ads in magazines are more effective than those on the other media.D. The ads in magazines have a long-term influence on the sales of products.第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Good Habits of Wealthy PeopleHave you ever wondered how some people have gotten so successful?
