8、ve the problems facing the whole worldC.help the poor to reduce povertyD.cause poverty in developing countries答案C解析细节理解题。根据第一段的“It is a tool which holds the ability to change the lives of the poor,as it provides a means of learning and communicating.”可知,由于科技提供学习和交流的方法,所以它是能够改变穷人命运的工具。2.We can learn

9、from the text that Khan Academy aims to .A.help the poor pay for good coursesB.provide every child with a computerC.help train MBA candidatesD.make everyone receive good education答案D解析推理判断题。根据第三段的“Khan Academy is one such service.Like OLPC,it is an organisation founded by Harvard Business School gra

11、ucation was of great importanceD.wouldnt leave their homeland to reduce poverty答案B解析推理判断题。由最后一段的“More and more people will try to improve their lives through educational opportunities outside of their homelandan idea usually uncommon in developing countries.”可知,现在越来越多的人通过本国之外的教育机会来改善他们的生活,这一点在过去的发展中

12、国家是不常见的。由此可以推断出,过去发展中国家的人们很少想到通过接受国外的教育来改变自己的命运。4.Why did the author write the text?A.To introduce some organisations in developed countries to help developing countries by technology.B.To explain why education and technology revolution are very important to developing countries.C.To describe relati

15、nsUNESCO and National Geographic among themhave for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin,a scientist at the Macmillan Center,Yale University,who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas,is following in that tradition.His recent

16、ly 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 oth

17、er 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 materialsincluding photographs,films,tape recor

18、dings,and field noteswhich had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now,through the two organizations that he has foundedthe Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature ProjectTurin has started a campaign to make such documents,found in libraries and stores aro

20、scholars are making efforts to .A.promote global languagesB.rescue disappearing languagesC.search for language communitiesD.set up language research organizations答案B解析细节理解题。由第二段可知,许多组织和学者付出努力正是为了保持语言的多样性,即为了拯救那些正在消失的语言。6.What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Having full records of the

21、 languages.B.Writing books on language teaching.C.Telling stories about language users.D.Living with the native speakers.答案A解析推理判断题。第三段中的that tradition应指上文提到的传统,本句的上文就是第二段中的“documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect”,即完全记录下正在消失的语言以及它们所反映的文化。故选A项。7.What is Turins book based on?A.The c

22、ultural studies in India.B.The documents available at Yale.C.His language research in Bhutan.D.His personal experience in Nepal.答案D解析细节理解题。由第三段最后一句中的“grows out of his experience living,working,and raising a family in a village in Nepal”可知,Mark Turin的书籍是以他自己在尼泊尔的经历为依据的。8.Which of the following best d

23、escribes Turins work?A.Write,sell and donate.B.Record,repair and reward.C.Collect,protect and reconnect.D.Design,experiment and report.答案C解析推理判断题。由短文最后一段中的“were originally collected” “the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities”可推知,C项正确。C(2016四川)In the depths of the

24、 French Guianese rainforest,there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people.Surprisingly,these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs.And yet,people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946.In

25、 theory,they should live by the French law.However,their remote locations mean that the French law is often ignored or unknown,thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the efforts of a Frenchman from Paris

26、called Gin.Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area,which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest,with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital,Cayenne.“I have a special love for the French Guianese people.I have worked there on and off fo

27、r almost ten years,” says Gin.“Ive been able to keep firm friendships with them.Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment.I dont see it as a lawless land.But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivi

28、lized life,” continues Gin.“I prefer to work in black and white,which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time.These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for.These local citizens

29、 now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic,which brings with it not only necessary state welfare,but also alcoholism,betrayal and even suicide.9.Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in Fr

30、ench Guiana?A.They seldom follow the French law.B.They often ignore the Guianese law.C.They are separated from the modern world.D.They are both Guianese and French citizens.答案A解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段的第二句和第五句可知,作者之所以吃惊,是因为这些人在很大程度上靠自己的法律和社会风俗生活,经常忽视甚至不知道法国的法律,故选A项。10.Gin introduces the special world of the i

31、ndigenous Guianese as .A.a tour guideB.a geographerC.a film directorD.a photographer答案D解析细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record.”可知,Gin想给观众展示一个摄影记录。由此可以判断,他是以摄影师的身份向世人介绍土著圭亚那人。故选D项。11.What is Gins attitude towards the lives of the indigenous Guianese?A.Cautious.B.Doubtfu

32、l.C.Uninterested.D.Appreciative.答案D解析推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“I have a special love for the French Guianese people.”可知,作者对圭亚那人有着特殊的喜爱之情,故选D项。12.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A.The modern French lifestyle.B.The self-supporting hunting.C.The uncivilized world.D.The French Re

33、public.答案A解析指代关系题。根据上文可知,现在,圭亚那人不得不在传统生活方式和法国现代生活方式之间做出平衡,下文介绍了法国现代生活方式带来的利与弊,由此可知,it指代法国现代生活方式。故选A项。DRobert Freddy was a general manager of a large hotel in Ashbury Park,New Jersey.One cold day two years ago when he stopped his car at a traffic light,Stephen Pearman,an out-of-work taxi and truck dr
