Hes what is known as a polyglot. He also studies the development of minority languages. But hes more than a polyglot. He not only uses the languages fluently, but also knows about the culture of the languages very well. He can talk to native speakers comfortably in their own languages.Matthew, who is from Manchester, England, is a_language_chameleon:_Germans think hes German! Spaniards think hes Spanish and Brazilians think hes Portuguese.By his own account, Matthew has mastered a surprising number of languages by using abilities that we all possess: determination, enthusiasm and openmindedness.If your classic polyglot is someone who studies languages fulltime, then Matthew is quite different. His study doesnt keep him in an ivory tower; it connects him with people all over the world.According to Matthew, the more languages you speak, the more points of view you have. He thinks each language has a certain way of seeing the world. If you speak one language, then you have a different way of analyzing and seeing the world than the speaker of another language does. Even if theyre really closelyrelated languages such as Spanish and Portuguese, they are at the same time two different worldstwo different attitudes.He said, “Therefore, having learned other languages and been surrounded by other languages, I couldnt possibly choose only one language because it would mean really giving up the possibility to be able to see the world in a different way. So the monolingual(只说一种语言的) lifestyle, for me, is the saddest, the loneliest, and the most boring way of seeing the world. There are so many advantages of learning a language. I really cant think of any reason not to.”59. According to the passage, a polyglot refers to _.A. someone who studies the development of languagesB. someone who keeps a record of minority languagesC. someone who masters several languagesD. someone who talks to foreigners fluently60. What can be inferred from the underlined part in Paragraph 2?A. Matthew Youlden is very good at imitating others.B. Matthew Youlden looks like the natives in appearance.C. Matthew Youlden learns languages from native speakers.D. Matthew Youlden uses the languages as well as the natives.61. Which of the following about Matthew Youlden is TRUE?A. He studies fulltime to have a good command of languages.B. He believes different languages enrich mans world views.C. Traveling around the world is his best way of learning.D. He has a very special talent for language learning.62. Whats Matthew Youldens attitude towards the monolingual lifestyle?A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Negative.CFor several years，the art trade in London has known about the possible existence of thetreasure of the western cave，dating from the 6th century BCIt was said to have been discoveredby farmersin western Iran around 1992Out of between 200and 600pieces，only a few have so farsurfacedThe Iranians were very angry that they managed to seize only part of the collection and that the rest was taken abroad illegallyBut now they may worry lessAn academic paper has just produced convincing evidence that at least one piece is a fakeFakes always exist in the world of antiquities，but what is astonishing is how widespread they are nowA report from the Archaeological Institute of America concludes that no less than 80per cent of all ancient west African pieces on the market are fakeHow can this forgery culture boom？It is found that about 80per cent of the antiquities traded have no clear sourceIn other words，it is not known where they were found and therefore，even if they are real，they can tell us little about ancient historyPeople in the trade say that the majority of these objects were found incasual discoveriesShamefully，they know that this is not trueThey advance the fiction because it suits their commercial purposesThe reality is that the objects come from robbery，not by local farmershappeningon a few findsThetreasure of the western caveis a classic example of how faking worksFaking is big business，and is of such a standard that even the greatest scholars may be fooled some of the timeThe antiquities trade likes to play down not only the extent of robbery and faking，but also the overlap between the twoThese latest reports let the cat out of the bagBut it is the overlap with robbed antiquities that is the most significant factor，which leads to the culture of forgeryCollectors of antiquities need to be aware that they not only aid the robbery of potentially invaluable sites，but put themselves at the mercy of fakers as well63What do we probably know about thetreasure of the western cave？AIts slightly brokenBIts totally realCIts partly fakeDIts fairly new64What astonishes the author？AThe huge number of fakesBThe long history of fakesCThe influence of fakesDThe origin of fakes65According to the passage，forgery culturemainly results fromAa belief incasual discoveriesBhigh faking standardsCantiquities without a clear sourceDclose combination of robbery and faking66Which is probably the last sentence of the passage？AThis is the main source for robberyBWhat shall be done to stop this trend？CAre collectors of antiquities aware of it？DThey are being not just dishonest，but foolishDSmall increases in temperature found to add power to storms in the Atlantic.Hurricanes that form in the Atlantic Ocean are expected to gain considerable strength as the global temperature continues to rise, a new study has found.Using modeling data focused on the conditions in which hurricanes form, a group of international researchers based at Beijing Normal University found that for every 1.8F ( 1 )rise of the Earths temperature, the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic that are as strong or stronger than Hurricane Katrina will increase two fold to sevenfold.Hurricane strength is directly related to the heat of the water where the storm forms. More water vapor in the air from evaporating ocean water adds fuel to hurricanes that build strength and head toward land.Hurricane Katrina is widely considered the measure for a destructive storm, holding the maximum Category 5 designation for a full 24 hours in late August 2020. It lost strength as it passed over the Florida peninsula, but gained destructive power fight before colliding with New Orleans, killing more than 200 people and causing $ 80 billion in damage.The study points to a gradual increase of Katrina-like events. The warming experienced over the 20th century doubled the number of such debilitating(将人类摧垮的)storms. But the ongoing warming of the planet into the 21st century could increase the frequency of the worst kinds of storms by 700 percent, threatening coastlines along the Atlantic Ocean with multiple Category 5 storms every year.Our results support the idea that changes in regional sea surface temperatures is the primary cause of hurricane variability, said Aslak Girnstead, a researcher with the Center for Ice and Climate at the University of Copenhagen.
