阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑
A
Welcome to Santa Cruz County. It is home to rough coastline and it’s the main destination for many hiking adventurers!
California King Tides Are Coming!
California King Tides are coming back to Santa Cruz County, and this season you have even more opportunities to enjoy these impressive tides! These naturally occurring and predictable events are when the highest and lowest tides hit our shores and create an even more dramatic coastline.
Winter Wildlife Getaway!
This season marks the start of the best wildlife watching on the California coast! Migrating whales and many special birds make December and January the perfect time for a wildlife adventure.
Magic Monarch Butterfly!
In Santa Cruz, we like to celebrate all creatures great and small, especially those of the migrating variety. On one hand, we are attracted by the sight of a whale surfaceing from the depths of the sea and, on the other hand, we delight in the attractive magic of a flying monarch butterfly.
County Shores!
Explore Santa Cruz County shores, and you’ll delight in rock y tide pools full of unique sea creatures. While exploring local tide pools, remember to have respect for your surroundings.
Care & Safety
Never turn your back on the ocean. Sleeper waves are a real phenomenon, and can sweep you away at any time.
We know how wonderful it might be to touch a plant or catch a fish from its waters, but disrupting tide pool life harms its inhabitants. Even if you think you’re saving a fish that appears to be pushed out of water, it’s best to leave it be. The tide will finally return it.
21. What are California King Tides like
A. Unpredictable. B. Splendid. C. Ordinary. D. Destructive.
22. Which is the best season to watch wildlife in Santa Cruz County
A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter.
23. What are tourists advised to do when seeing tide pool fish
A. Handle them gently. B. Catch them immediately.
C. Leave them where they are. D. Take them back to the ocean.
【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了圣克鲁斯县的几个旅游景点的相关信息。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据California King Tides Are Coming!部分的“these impressive tides(这些令人深刻的潮汐)”和“These naturally occurring and predictable events are when the highest and lowest tides hit our shores and create an even more dramatic coastline.(这些自然发生和可预测的事件是当最高和最低的潮汐袭击我们的海岸时，创造了一个更加戏剧性的海岸线。)”可推知，California King Tides是非常壮观的。故选B。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Winter Wildlife Getaway!部分的“Migrating whales and many special birds make December and January the perfect time for a wildlife adventure.(迁徙的鲸鱼和许多特殊的鸟类使12月和1月成为野生动物冒险的最佳时间。)”可知，冬天是观看野生动物的最好的季节。故选D。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Even if you think you’re saving a fish that appears to be pushed out of water, it’s best to leave it be. The tide will finally return it.(即使你认为你在拯救一条看起来像是被赶出了水的鱼，最好还是不要管它。潮水最终会把它收回来。)”可知，如果看到潮水形成的水洼里有生物，尽量不要去管，涨潮之后它们就会回归大海。故选C。
B
In July 1915, severely tortured by his poor health, James Murray, one of the early editors of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), defined one final word. After his 36 years’ dedication to the dictionary, his hard labour had taken a toll, knowing he would not see the project complete.
The poetic quality of Murray’s final days is one of the many memorable tales in The Dictionary People. Beginning in 1857, the OED was a huge crowdsourcing project - “the Wikipedia of the 19th century” - comprising 3, 000 people. The idea was to create a “descriptive” dictionary that tracked words’ use and meaning over time, unlike its “prescriptive”18th-century predecessor by Samuel Johnson, which told readers how to say and use words. Volunteers read widely, mailing in examples of how “rare, old-fashioned, new, strange” words were used. What is surprising about this fairly random method is that it worked.
The origin story of Sarah Ogilvie’s book is almost as improbable as that of the dictionary itself. Ms Ogilvie, a former scholar who served as an editor for the OED, went into the documents of Oxford University Press and came across an old notebook. It had belonged to Murray and contained the names and details of the dictionary volunteers, most of whom had previously been unknown. The Dictionary People is her work of detective scholarship, bringing the lives behind the names to readers.
Ms Ogilvie’s book is full of intriguing stories. The presentation of the book is unconventional, too, taking its structure from the work it describes. There are 26 alphabetical chapters, each celebrating a group of contributors ( memorably, “K” is for “kleptomaniac” people who desire to steal). This is a clever arrangement, though it sometimes means that broader issues emerge only in pieces.
Essentially, this is a story about ordinary people. It is concrete proof of those who, to cite dictionary-helper George Eliot, “lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs”.
24. What does the underlined expression “taken a toll” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Paid off.
B. Proved in vain.
C. Worn out the passion.
D. Had a harmful effect.
25. What can we learn about the Oxford English Dictionary
A. It serves as an example of dictionary editing.
B. It provides precise directions for word usage.
C. It is a cooperative work of many volunteers.
D. It was edited with the help of Samuel Johnson.
26. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The story behind Sarah Ogilvie’s book.
B. The detective methods of Sarah Ogilvie.
C. Legends of the early OED editors.
D. Murray’s role in editing the OED.
27. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A review of a book.
B. A biography of an editor.
C. An essay on dictionary editing.
D. An introduction to a dictionary.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了对Ogilvie女士的书的评论及介绍了第一部牛津字典的形成及背后的人对它的重大贡献。
【24题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句“After his 36 years’ dedication to the dictionary, his hard labour had ...”(在他36年致力于编纂词典之后，他的辛勤劳动......。)及最后一句“knowing he would not see the project complete.”(因为他不会看到项目完成。)可知，因为他不会看到项目完成，所以在他36年致力于编纂词典之后，他的辛勤劳动没有产生明显的效果。故选D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Beginning in 1857, the OED was a huge crowdsourcing project - “the Wikipedia of the 19th century” - comprising 3, 000 people.”（从1857年开始，牛津英语词典是一个庞大的众包项目—“19世纪的维基百科”—由3000人组成。）及第二段倒数第二句“Volunteers read widely, mailing in examples of how “rare, old-fashioned, new, strange” words were used.”（志愿者们广泛阅读，邮寄“稀有、老式、新、奇怪”单词的使用示例。）可知，这是许多志愿者的合作工作。故选C项。
【26题详解】
段落大意题。根据第三段“ Ms Ogilvie, a former scholar who served as an editor for the OED, went into the documents of Oxford University Press and came across an old notebook. It had belonged to Murray and contained the names and details of the dictionary volunteers, most of whom had previously been unknown. The Dictionary People is her work of detective scholarship, bringing the lives behind the names to readers.”（曾担任《牛津英语词典》编辑的学者Ogilvie女士查阅了牛津大学出版社的文件，发现了一本旧笔记本。它属于默里，包含了词典志愿者的姓名和详细信息，其中大多数人以前都不知道。《人物词典》是她的侦探学术作品，将名字背后的生活带给读者。）可知，这段讲的是Sarah Ogilvie的书背后的故事。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Essentially, this is a story about ordinary people. It is concrete proof of those who, to cite dictionary-helper George Eliot, “lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs”.(本质上，这是一个关于普通人的故事。用词典助手乔治·艾略特的话来说，这是这些人“忠实地过着隐秘的生活，安息在无人问津的坟墓里”的具体证据。)”结合文章讲述了对Ogilvie女士的书的评论及介绍了第一部牛津字典的形成及背后的人对它的重大贡献。可知，这篇文章可能选自书评。故选A项。
C
It’s getting close to midnight, and close to my destination—mile marker 133 on Alaska’s Glenn Highway, where I’m on the road to realize a lifelong dream. I’m going to see the northern lights.
I am Scott’s only customer tonight, but whether it’s one person or a bridal party from Japan, the professional photographer and videographer loves to come put here to witness one of nature’s most spectacular shows — and to share it with others. “I can’t tell you how much joy I get from seeing the smile on people’s faces. That’s worth it right there. That’s the reason why I do tours,” he says.
I emerge from the van into minus 6 degrees. A bazillion stars sparkle, and the Milky Way pours overhead. What looks like a gray stream of cloud arches low over the horizon. “That’s it!” says Scott. Really That’s it I spent 13 hours in planes and airports, and then drove 2.5 hours to see a gray belt “Patience,” he says. “It will get better. Wait till 2 am. That’s usually the best time.”
Aurora (极光) tourism is combined with winter activities like ice fishing, snow machine rides, and hot springs. As aurora guides and scientists will tell you, there’s no guarantee of a sighting. But Fairbanks is a statistically good bet because of its northern location and freedom from coastal clouds, which can be a challenge for Anchorage. Travelers are recommended to put aside at least three nights to improve your chances of viewing, with the idea that you’ll be up much of the night each time.
Each time he wakes me and I step outside, it appears more glorious. At first, a fuzz the size of a honeydew floats along the horizon. Another time, a broad green line stretches across the sky, followed by a short tail. “Do you see the red ” Scott asks. He has me look through his camera. It can see more color than the naked eye. Finally, as if playing a visual symphonic tune, a giant line of phosphorous (发磷光的) green seems to swoop down to the treetops and dollop them with a curlicue swirl. I’m smiling inside and out. We can go now.
28. What makes Scott like to do aurora tourism
A. The chance to take spectacular photos. B. The happiness of tourists.
C. The party to enjoy the norther lights. D. His lifelong dream.
29 What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 3
A. She felt very angry. B. She was quite thrilled.
C. She was a little disappointed. D. She gradually lost her patience.
30. Why is Fairbanks an ideal place to enjoy the northern lights
A. It offers visitors a guaranteed sighting.
B It’s located in the Antarctic Circle.
C. It has winter activities for travelers.
D. It’s free from coastal cloudy weather.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The beauty of aurora. B. Scott’s camera.
C. The author’s departure. D. The shapes of northern lights.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者去看北极光的经历。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的““I can’t tell you how much joy I get from seeing the smile on people’s faces. That’s worth it right there. That’s the reason why I do tours,” he says.(“看到人们脸上的笑容，我无法告诉你我有多高兴。这是值得的。这就是我参加旅游的原因，”他说)”可推知，游客的快乐让斯科特喜欢做极光旅游。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的““That’s it!” says Scott. Really That’s it I spent 13 hours in planes and airports, and then drove 2.5 hours to see a gray belt (“就是它！”斯科特说。真的吗？就这些吗？我在飞机和机场待了13个小时，然后开了2.5小时的车去看灰色地带？)”可推知，作者有点失望。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But Fairbanks is a statistically good bet because of its northern location and freedom from coastal clouds, which can be a challenge for Anchorage.(但费尔班克斯在统计上是一个不错的选择，因为它位于北部，没有沿海的云层，这对安克雷奇来说可能是一个挑战)”可知，费尔班克斯是欣赏北极光的理想之地，因为这里没有沿海多云的天气。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“At first, a fuzz the size of a honeydew floats along the horizon. Another time, a broad green line stretches across the sky, followed by a short tail. “Do you see the red ” Scott asks. He has me look through his camera. It can see more color than the naked eye. Finally, as if playing a visual symphonic tune, a giant line of phosphorous (发磷光的) green seems to swoop down to the treetops and dollop them with a curlicue swirl.(起初，一团蜜露大小的绒毛漂浮在地平线上。还有一次，一条宽阔的绿线横跨天空，后面是一条短尾。“你看到红色了吗 ”斯科特问道。他让我看他的相机。它能看到比肉眼更多的颜色。最后，就像演奏一曲视觉交响乐一样，一条巨大的磷绿线似乎俯冲到树梢上，并以卷曲的漩涡将它们倾倒)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是极光之美。故选A。
D
There are close to 7, 000 languages spoken on Earth. However, it’s estimated that by the end of this century, up to 50% of them may be lost.
It’s commonly thought that majority languages tend to be valued for being useful and for promoting progress, while minority languages are seen as barriers to progress, and the value placed on them is seen mainly as sentimental (感情用事的). But is sentimentality really the only motivation for preserving language diversity
Speakers of endangered languages often live in remote areas with unique landform. It is quite common for these languages to distinguish between hundreds more types of plants and animals than those known to modern science. For example, in Southeast Asia, some tribes have discovered the medicinal properties of over sixty-five hundred plant species. This has led to many of landmark achievements in medicine.
It was once believed that the limits of one’s language defined the limits of one’s thought. This theory, called the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis (假说), has been largely rejected in favor of the improved version, which assumes that the language we speak does not set the limits of our thoughts, but it does direct our focus in certain ways. For example, English is a tense-based language. It’s nearly impossible to talk about doing something without specifying the time — i. e. I went to the party(past), I’m going to the party(present), or I’ll go to the party (future). This differs from Chinese, where it’s perfectly reasonable to say, “I go to the party” without defining the “when”. Thus, part of the richness of language is that it allows us to organize the world in so many unique ways.
Some languages categorize the world in ways so different from our own that they are difficult to conceptualize (概念化). The United States employed native Navajo speakers to create a system of message coding during the Second World War. The Japanese were never able to break it, and the “code talkers” are often cited today as having helped decide the outcome of the war.
As we’ve already seen, minority languages are valuable for many practical reasons. In conclusion, I’d say the short answer is yes — dying languages are certainly worth saving!
32. What do people tend to think of minority languages
A. Valueless. B. Time-honored. C. Informal. D. Stable.
33. How can we benefit from endangered languages according to the author
A. We can discover drugs in a much safer way.
B. We don’t have to rely on modern medicine.
C. We can acquire a broad knowledge of nature.
D. We can learn how to protect plants and animals.
34. Why does the author mention the Second World War
A. To correct the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis.
B. To prove the value of minority languages.
C. To show wars’ role in preserving a language.
D. To explain ways to conserve some languages.
35. What would be a suitable title for the text
A. Are majority languages worth valuing
B. Are we willing to save dying languages
C. Should endangered languages be saved
D. Is the future of minority languages bright
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了少数语言以及一些濒危的语言被看作是感情用事，但却举例论证濒危的语言对社会在历史上以及现在带来的好处。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It’s commonly thought that majority languages tend to be valued for being useful and for promoting progress, while minority languages are seen as barriers to progress, and the value placed on them is seen mainly as sentimental (感情用事的). (人们普遍认为，多数语言往往因有用和促进进步而受到重视，而少数语言则被视为进步的障碍，对它们的重视主要被视为感情用事的。)”可知，少数语言被视为进步的障碍，是没有价值的，故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“For example, in Southeast Asia, some tribes have discovered the medicinal properties of over sixty-five hundred plant species. This has led to many of landmark achievements in medicine. (例如，在东南亚，一些部落已经发现了6500多种植物的药用特性。这带来了医学上许多里程碑意义的成就。)”可知，一些濒危的语言可以帮助人们在特定的领域拓宽知识，故我们可以通过濒危的语言来拓宽自然的知识，故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Some languages categorize the world in ways so different from our own that they are difficult to conceptualize (概念化). The United States employed native Navajo speakers to create a system of message coding during the Second World War. The Japanese were never able to break it, and the “code talkers” are often cited today as having helped decide the outcome of the war. (一些语言以与我们截然不同的方式将世界分类，以至于很难将它概念化。二战期间，美国故用了以纳瓦霍语为母语的人来创建一个信息编码系统。日本人从来没能破解它，今天人们常常引用“密码通话员”，因为它帮助了决定这场战争的结果。)”可知，文章提到二战是为了证明纳瓦霍语在二战中起到的关键性的作用，使得日本人无法破解，从而带来了战争的胜利，故其是为了证明一些少数语言的价值，故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“It’s commonly thought that majority languages tend to be valued for being useful and for promoting progress, while minority languages are seen as barriers to progress, and the value placed on them is seen mainly as sentimental (感情用事的). But is sentimentality really the only motivation for preserving language diversity ( 人们普遍认为，多数语言往往因有用和促进进步而受到重视，而少数语言则被视为进步的障碍，对它们的重视主要被视为感情用事的。但是感情用事真的是保持语言多样性的唯一动机吗？)”可知，文章提出了少数语言以及一些濒危的语言被看作是感情用事，文章从第三段举例论证濒危的语言对社会在历史上以及现在带来的好处，故C项“濒危语言应该被保存下来吗？”符合文章标题，故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在冬天长距离步行的好处及注意事项。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Winter is often a low point for outdoor lovers, as cold weather pushes them indoors. However, winter can be a beautiful time of year for a winter trail walk.(冬天往往是户外爱好者的低谷，因为寒冷的天气迫使他们进入室内。然而，冬天是冬季徒步旅行的好时节。)”可知，上文讲到冬天把人们赶进室内，然后讲到冬天是步行的好时光。由此可知，接下来的内容是建议我们去进行冬季步行。E项中的“taking winter trail walks”和上文的“winter trail walk”对应。E项：So why not continue to spend time outside, taking winter trail walks (那么为什么不继续花时间在户外，进行冬季徒步旅行呢？)符合语境。故选E。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Generally, winter walking presents dangers.(一般来说，冬季行走会带来危险。)”可知，接下来将描述冬季步行的危险。F项中的“more careful”承接上文的“dangers”。F项：The severer the weather is, the more careful you need to be when walking.(天气越恶劣，走路时越要小心。)符合语境。故选F。
【38题详解】
根据上文“When you warm up from the exercise, you can take off layers so you will never become over-heated.(当你因锻炼变暖时，你可以脱下衣服，这样你就不会过热。)”可知，这里讲述的是分层穿衣服的好处。nor作连词常与never等表示否定的词连用，表示“也不”，前后内容相一致。A项：Nor will you suffer from being too cold.(你也不会因为太冷而受苦。)符合语境。故选A。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Shoes are a very important aspect of winter walking.(鞋子是冬天行走的一个非常重要的方面。)”可知，这里讲述的下雪天穿雪地靴去步行的好处。D项：You will be more steady on the snow and get a better workout.(你会在雪地上更稳，得到更好的锻炼。)符合语境。故选D。
【40题详解】
根据下文“Spend some time finding a trail that is open and safe to walk on during the winter.(花点时间找一条在冬天走的开着并安全的小道。)”可知，需要花时间去寻找一条开着并安全的小路的原因是可能原来走的小路关闭了。C项：You may find your favorite trail closed during the winter.( 你可能会发现你最喜欢的小路在冬天关闭了。)符合语境。故选C。

67. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mark was an 8-year-old boy living in Denver with his family. When 3 years old, Mark reached for the kettle on the table and upset it, causing his face burnt. After several surgeries, Mark was home-schooled by his mother, but as he approached second grade, his parents decided to enroll him in Beecher Prep, a private school.
His face was uneven and many scars were left on the cheeks. Mark was scared of being made fun of, but his parents encouraged him to face everything bravely.
When he first started school, he was rejected by almost all the students for the sake of his burnt face, which was a tough time for him. Fortunately, a girl named Angel offered to sit with him on his first day of school and helped him go through that difficult period. They became good friends, chatting merrily and sharing what they were enthusiastic about.
Gradually, Mark’s excellent learning competence and kind behavior made him popular with the students. Since Mark had a good command of science, his classmates would turn to him for help whenever they had problems with their studies. Mark was always more than willing to help them.
On Halloween, a variety of holiday activities were held on campus, with each classroom decorated with flowers and toys. All the students including Mark were dressed up in Grimace masks and costumes. They all disguised to be their favorite characters, enjoying themselves. Unrecognized, Mark was walking through the classroom backdoor when he overheard his classmate Joe’s comment, “Mark’s face is the ugliest one I have ever seen.” Hearing this, Mark felt a burst of sadness and depression flooded over him. He run away secretly. Angel happened to stand behind Mark and witnessed what happened, but it was too late to stop it. As Mark’s best friend at school, Angel thought Mark was a good boy who should be treated kindly.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After a second thought, Angel walked up to Joe.

Joe decided to make an apology to Mark.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
After a second thought, Angel walked up to Joe. She told him seriously that Mark had heard what he said just now, which made Mark very sad. It was wrong to speak ill of people behind their backs. Hearing what Angel said, Joe was very ashamed of himself, lowering his head and saying nothing. He remembered that Mark always helped him with his studies with great patience. He realized although Mark's face was ugly, his heart was extremely kind, which was the most important thing. Joe finally admitted his mistake and decided to make up for it.
Joe decided to make an apology to Mark. He ran to find Mark at once. Finally he found Mark sitting alone in the playground. He approached Mark immediately, holding his hand and saying with a sincere expression, “I'm really sorry about what I said, and you know I didn’t mean to hurt you. I hope that you can accept my apologies.” Watching Joe’s anxious face and tears in his eyes, Mark smiled happily and forgave him. Eventually the two became good friends.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了儿时意外烧伤脸的小男孩Mark在进入学校后，一开始遭到同学们的排挤，只有Angel愿意和他做朋友，但随着Mark学习能力和助人为乐的品质的展现，大家逐渐接受了他。但在万圣节的活动上，Mark无意中听到Joe在背后评论自己，感到十分伤心，最终在Angel的说服下，Joe向Mark道了歉。

Welcome to Santa Cruz County. It is home to rough coastline and it’s the main destination for many hiking adventurers!
California King Tides Are Coming!
California King Tides are coming back to Santa Cruz County, and this season you have even more opportunities to enjoy these impressive tides! These naturally occurring and predictable events are when the highest and lowest tides hit our shores and create an even more dramatic coastline.
Winter Wildlife Getaway!
This season marks the start of the best wildlife watching on the California coast! Migrating whales and many special birds make December and January the perfect time for a wildlife adventure.
Magic Monarch Butterfly!
In Santa Cruz, we like to celebrate all creatures great and small, especially those of the migrating variety. On one hand, we are attracted by the sight of a whale surfaceing from the depths of the sea and, on the other hand, we delight in the attractive magic of a flying monarch butterfly.
County Shores!
Explore Santa Cruz County shores, and you’ll delight in rock y tide pools full of unique sea creatures. While exploring local tide pools, remember to have respect for your surroundings.
Care & Safety
Never turn your back on the ocean. Sleeper waves are a real phenomenon, and can sweep you away at any time.
We know how wonderful it might be to touch a plant or catch a fish from its waters but disrupting tide pool life harms its inhabitants. Even if you think you’re saving a fish that appears to be pushed out of water, it’s best to leave it be. The tide will finally return it.
21. What are California King Tides like
A. Unpredictable. B. Splendid. C. Ordinary. D. Destructive.

In July 1915, severely tortured by his poor health, James Murray, one of the early editors of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), defined one final word. After his 36 years’ dedication to the dictionary, his hard labour had taken a toll, knowing he would not see the project complete.
The poetic quality of Murray’s final days is one of the many memorable tales in The Dictionary People. Beginning in 1857, the OED was a huge crowdsourcing project - “the Wikipedia of the 19th century” - comprising 3, 000 people. The idea was to create a “descriptive” dictionary that tracked words’ use and meaning over time, unlike its “prescriptive”18th-century predecessor by Samuel Johnson, which told readers how to say and use words. Volunteers read widely, mailing in examples of how “rare, old-fashioned, new, strange” words were used. What is surprising about this fairly random method is that it worked.
The origin story of Sarah Ogilvie’s book is almost as improbable as that of the dictionary itself. Ms Ogilvie, a former scholar who served as an editor for the OED, went into the documents of Oxford University Press and came across an old notebook. It had belonged to Murray and contained the names and details of the dictionary volunteers, most of whom had previously been unknown. The Dictionary People is her work of detective scholarship, bringing the lives behind the names to readers.
Ms Ogilvie’s book is full of intriguing stories. The presentation of the book is unconventional, too, taking its structure from the work it describes. There are 26 alphabetical chapters, each celebrating a group of contributors ( memorably, “K” is for “kleptomaniac” people who desire to steal).

It’s getting close to midnight, and close to my destination—mile marker 133 on Alaska’s Glenn Highway, where I’m on the road to realize a lifelong dream. I’m going to see the northern lights.
I am Scott’s only customer tonight, but whether it’s one person or a bridal party from Japan, the professional photographer and videographer loves to come put here to witness one of nature’s most spectacular shows — and to share it with others. “I can’t tell you how much joy I get from seeing the smile on people’s faces. That’s worth it right there. That’s the reason why I do tours,” he says.
I emerge from the van into minus 6 degrees. A bazillion stars sparkle, and the Milky Way pours overhead. What looks like a gray stream of cloud arches low over the horizon. “That’s it!” says Scott. Really That’s it I spent 13 hours in planes and airports, and then drove 2.5 hours to see a gray belt “Patience,” he says. “It will get better. Wait till 2 am. That’s usually the best time.”
Aurora (极光) tourism is combined with winter activities like ice fishing, snow machine rides, and hot springs. As aurora guides and scientists will tell you, there’s no guarantee of a sighting. But Fairbanks is a statistically good bet because of its northern location and freedom from coastal clouds, which can be a challenge for Anchorage. Travelers are recommended to put aside at least three nights to improve your chances of viewing, with the idea that you’ll be up much of the night each time.
Each time he wakes me and I step outside, it appears more glorious. At first, a fuzz the size of a honeydew floats along the horizon. Another time, a broad green line stretches across the sky, followed by a short tail. “Do you see the red ” Scott asks. He has me look through his camera. It can see more color than the naked eye. Finally, as if playing a visual symphonic tune, a giant line of phosphorous (发磷光的) green seems to swoop down to the treetops and dollop them with a curlicue swirl. I’m smiling inside and out. We can go now.
28. What makes Scott like to do aurora tourism
A. The chance to take spectacular photos. B. The happiness of tourists.
C. The party to enjoy the norther lights. D. His lifelong dream.
29. What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 3

D
There are close to 7, 000 languages spoken on Earth. However, it’s estimated that by the end of this century, up to 50% of them may be lost.
It’s commonly thought that majority languages tend to be valued for being useful and for promoting progress, while minority languages are seen as barriers to progress, and the value placed on them is seen mainly as sentimental (感情用事的). But is sentimentality really the only motivation for preserving language diversity
Speakers of endangered languages often live in remote areas with unique landform. It is quite common for these languages to distinguish between hundreds more types of plants and animals than those known to modern science. For example, in Southeast Asia, some tribes have discovered the medicinal properties of over sixty-five hundred plant species. This has led to many of landmark achievements in medicine.
It was once believed that the limits of one’s language defined the limits of one’s thought. This theory, called the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis (假说), has been largely rejected in favor of the improved version, which assumes that the language we speak does not set the limits of our thoughts, but it does direct our focus in certain ways. For example, English is a tense-based language. It’s nearly impossible to talk about doing something without specifying the time — i. e. I went to the party(past), I’m going to the party(present), or I’ll go to the party (future). This differs from Chinese, where it’s perfectly reasonable to say, “I go to the party” without defining the “when”. Thus, part of the richness of language is that it allows us to organize the world in so many unique ways.
Some languages categorize the world in ways so different from our own that they are difficult to conceptualize (概念化). The United States employed native Navajo speakers to create a system of message coding during the Second World War. The Japanese were never able to break it, and the “code talkers” are often cited today as having helped decide the outcome of the war.
As we’ve already seen, minority languages are valuable for many practical reasons. In conclusion, I’d say the short answer is yes — dying languages are certainly worth saving!
32. What do people tend to think of minority languages
A. Valueless. B. Time-honored. C. Informal. D. Stable.
33. How can we benefit from endangered languages according to the author
A. We can discover drugs in a much safer way.
B. We don’t have to rely on modern medicine.
C. We can acquire a broad knowledge of nature.
D. We can learn how to protect plants and animals.
34 Why does the author mention the Second World War
A. To correct the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis.
B. To prove the value of minority languages.
C. To show wars’ role in preserving a language.
D. To explain ways to conserve some languages.
35. What would be a suitable title for the text
A. Are majority languages worth valuing
B. Are we willing to save dying languages
C. Should endangered languages be saved
D. Is the future of minority languages bright

Mark was an 8-year-old boy living in Denver with his family. When 3 years old, Mark reached for the kettle on the table and upset it, causing his face burnt. After several surgeries, Mark was home-schooled by his mother, but as he approached second grade, his parents decided to enroll him in Beecher Prep, a private school.
His face was uneven and many scars were left on the cheeks. Mark was scared of being made fun of, but his parents encouraged him to face everything bravely.
When he first started school, he was rejected by almost all the students for the sake of his burnt face, which was a tough time for him. Fortunately, a girl named Angel offered to sit with him on his first day of school and helped him go through that difficult period. They became good friends, chatting merrily and sharing what they were enthusiastic about.
Gradually, Mark’s excellent learning competence and kind behavior made him popular with the students. Since Mark had a good command of science, his classmates would turn to him for help whenever they had problems with their studies. Mark was always more than willing to help them.
On Halloween, a variety of holiday activities were held on campus, with each classroom decorated with flowers and toys. All the students including Mark were dressed up in Grimace masks and costumes. They all disguised to be their favorite characters, enjoying themselves. Unrecognized, Mark was walking through the classroom backdoor when he overheard his classmate Joe’s comment, “Mark’s face is the ugliest one I have ever seen.” Hearing this, Mark felt a burst of sadness and depression flooded over him. He run away secretly. Angel happened to stand behind Mark and witnessed what happened, but it was too late to stop it. As Mark’s best friend at school, Angel thought Mark was a good boy who should be treated kindly.

1. 续写词数应为150左右;
