19、everal countries including China, India and Malaysia, and they all speak their own versions of “English”.“Everyone who speaks it shapes it,” wrote the newspaper.For example, in Singlish, you can easily recognize influences from Chinese, including vocabulary such as” Mee Siam” and “da bao”. Sentence

20、structures like ” toilet where” instead of “wheres the toilet” also come from Chinese.Interesting and diverse as it may seem, the trend for Singlish is worrying Singapores government. It is concerned that the dialect is lowering the countrys English standard and may affect its relationship with visi

21、tors.It even started the Speak Good English Movement.Unfortunately, the problem was not solved. Instead, Singlish has boomed, especially among young people who think of it as a sign of being cool and a way of identifying themselves as Singaporean.But this does not mean that standard English is being

22、 abandoned by young people. In fact, they are much more capable than the government gives credit-they can speak both.“We are a nation good at code switching- we know that the way we speak to friends or drivers must be different from how act at work or school,” wrote Cheryl, a Singaporean author, in

23、Time magazine, “To actively urge us to give up a language that speaks to the very heart of who we are, that so beautifully represents the melting pot of Chinese, Indians, Malaysians and Eurasians that we are, is shortsighted, surely.”8 Why does Singapore have many different versions of English?A .It

In this article Professors Denn

27、is Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that being able to run was the necessary condition for the development of our species which enabled us to come down from the trees. This challenges traditional scientific thinking, which claims that the distinctive, upright body form of modern humans has come

28、about as a result of the ability to walk, and that running is simply a by-product of walking. Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared to such animals as dogs, horses or deer. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distan

29、ces. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their overall speed is at least the same as that of horses or dogsBramble and Lieberman examined 26 physical features found in humans. One of the most interesting of th

30、ese is the nuchal ligament(项韧带). When we run, this ligament prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high.

31、hilles tendons (跟腱) at the backs of our legs, which connect our calf muscles to our heel bones and which have nothing to do with walking. When we run, these tendons behave like springs, helping to push us forward. Furthermore, we have low, wide shoulders virtually disconnected from our skulls(颅骨), a

32、 physical development which allows us to run more efficiently.But what evolutionary advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? Perhaps it permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. What these features and facts appear to be telling us is that running evolved in order for

33、 our direct ancestors to compete with other meat-eating animals for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today, says Lieberman. Some scientists put forward the theory that early humans chased animals for great distances in order to exhaust them before killing them.Resear

34、ch on the history of humans ability to move has traditionally been controversial, says Lieberman. At the very least, I believe this theory will motivate many researchers to reevaluate and further investigate how humans learned to run and walk and why we are built the way we are. 12. In paragraph 1,

35、what do the two professors suggest about humans ability to run?A. It has played an important role in human evolution.B. It helps to form peoples ability to climb trees.C. It is an evolutionary by-product of walking.D. It has not been adequately studied by scientists before.13. What is true about the

36、 physical characteristics examined by the professors?A. The nuchal ligament enables people to hold their head steady.B. The human skull helps people to run more efficiently.C. peoples shoulders allow them to look from side to side.D. Achilles tendons assist people to walk long distances. 14. Accordi
