It is set in a beautiful town near the sea on the Italian Riviera. In the town there lives one young boy called Luka. Every summer, he loves going outdoors for adventure. One day, he makes friends with a boy he has never seen before. Luka shares his adventures with his new best friend. However, all the fun is threatened by a secret. His new friend isn’t a real person. He is a sea creature from another world just below the water’s surface. If you want to find out what happens to the two friends in the end, you can watch it sometime. That’s all about the movie. Thank you.

For visitors who are on a short weekend visit to the island Bali, here is a tip of how to get the most out of their 48-hour visit.
Friday
3 pm — There is nothing like a good meal. La Lucciola at Seminyak is the place to be, with its good food, great service and a beautiful view of the sea.
5 pm — About an hour away from La Lucciola is Uluwatu. This southern tip of the island is famous for its famous temple that stands on the edge, high above the sea. The fire dance, is performed here daily at sunset.

Saturday
9:30 am — Start the day with another experience of Balinese culture by heading for a dance performance.
12 pm — Kintamani, a favourite with tourists for the panoramic (全景的) view of active volcano Mt. Batur and neighbouring crater lake. It’s a good idea to reach Kintamani early as it tends to get cloudy after 3 pm. Have lunch at a local restaurant with a view of Mt. Batur and the lake. Tourists can catch the sunrise at the Mt. Batur peak.
2:30 pm — Head back to Ubud, the seat of Bali’s fine arts, dance and music, and spend the rest of your afternoon strolling through its streets.
Sunday
6 am — It’s time for a reduce in the sea — and don’t forget the camera.

B
Empathy (同理心) is one of those strange qualities—something almost everyone wants, but few know how to truly give or receive it. In a world where self-satisfaction is emphasized, it is in short supply but high demand. This is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means to have empathy for those around them.
What Is Empathy? — Many people confuse sympathy and empathy, but they are two distinct values. Empathy is not just the ability to understand someone's feelings; criminals often take advantage of people by appearing to understand their feelings and finally gaining their trust. Empathy is more than that. Not only is it the ability to recognize how someone feels, but it also values and respects the feelings of another person. It means treating others with kindness, dignity, and understanding.
Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy — While some children are gifted with naturally kind hearts, in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them. It begins with the way parents relate to their children. Parents who show an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy.
Meet Emotional Needs —When children have their emotional needs met, two things happen. They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are receiving, meaning that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive. An empty jug cannot fill a cup.
It's a good idea to talk to kids about emotions and how other people experience them. Give their emotions names (for example, jealousy, anger, and love) and teach them that these are normal. Talk to them about how to handle emotions in a positive way and point out situations where other people are experiencing emotions. Teach them about respecting the emotions of others and show them how to act in a situation where a response is required.
26. Why is it that the next generation are taught to have empathy?
A. Because it's better to give than to receive.
B. Because everyone lacks empathy.
C. Because people tend to center themselves.
D. Because empathy is a strange quality.
27. Which situation can empathy be used in?
A. When a teacher is comforting a student about his failure in exams.
B. When a mathematician is calculating the area of a farmland.
C. When a criminal is cheating a victim.
D. When a dancer is dancing to music.
28. What can be learnt from paragraph 3?
A. Children are born with kind hearts
B. Children can learn empathy by themselves.
C. Children can learn empathy from seeing how their parents do that to them.
D. Parents just interested in something that matter to their kids can teach their kids empathy
29. What does the underlined sentence “An empty jug cannot fill a cup” mean?
A. An empty jug is too small to hold a cup.
B. It's a must to talk to kids about emotions.
C. Kids give empathy with their emotional needs met first.
D. Adults should set an example to kids.
30. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How to distinguish sympathy and empathy.
B. How to train kids to have empathy.
C. How to help kids finish empathy-related tasks.
D. Whether kids can be trained to be more empathetic.
【答案】26. C 27. A 28. C 29. C 30. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了同理心——这个当今世界稀缺的品质,对我们情感生活的重大意义,进而给出培养下一代的同理心的建议。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Empathy(同理心) is one of those strange qualities—something almost everyone wants, but few know how to truly give or receive it. In a world where self-satisfaction is emphasized, it is in short supply but high demand.(同理心是最奇怪的品质之一——每个人都想拥有,但是很少有人知道如何真正给予或者接受它。在如今这个强调自我满足的世界,它是稀缺的,但同时人们对它的需求却是很大。)”可知,我们要教会下一代拥有同理心的原因,是因为如今世界的人们往往过于强调自我。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Not only is it the ability to recognize how someone feels, but it also values and respects the feelings of another person. It means treating others with kindness, dignity, and understanding.(它不仅仅是能够察觉其他人感受的能力,更需要我们重视、尊重另一个人的感受。这意味着以善意、理解对待他人,且让他有尊严。)”可知,同理心意味着察觉且尊重他人的感受,并善意地让他们感到有尊严和被爱。由此推知,老师对考试失利的学生进行宽慰,是能够理解他们失落的情绪,别善意地理解他们的感受。故选A项。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy—While some children are gifted with naturally kind hearts, in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them. It begins with the way parents relate to their children. Parents who show an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy. (孩子需要看到成年人表现出同理心——虽然有些孩子天生善良,但在大多数情况下,孩子需要看到周围成年人的同理心。它从父母与孩子相处的方式开始。那些对孩子重要的事情表现出兴趣,并以积极和关爱的方式回应情绪的父母正在教授同理心技巧。)”可知,孩子需要看到成年人表现出同理心,孩子才能从父母那里学到产生同理心,故选C项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段划线句前文的内容“When children have their emotional needs met, two things happen. They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are receiving, meaning that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive.(孩子们的情感需求得到满足时,会发生两件事。他们会学习如何满足他人的情感需求,这基于他们接受的关怀。也意味着他们有足够的安全感,能够满足他人情感需求。当然首先他们的需求要得到满足。)”可知,孩子们只有自身的情感需求得到满足,才能有余力、更好地给予他人关怀,满足其他人的情感需求。由此推知,划线部分句子的意思与“自身情感需求首先得到满足”意思接近。故选C项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“This is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means to have empathy for those around them.(这就是我们为什么要教会下一代拥有对周围人们的同理心是什么意思的原因。)”和第三段“Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy(成人们需要为孩子们言传身教,以行为告诉他们何为同理心)”和最后一段“Teach them about respecting the emotions of others and show them how to act in a situation where a response is required.(教给孩子们尊重他人的感受,照顾他们的情绪,并且告诉他们如何在需要做出回应的场合正确行为。)”可知,全文先肯定了同理心对我们情感生活的意义,并阐述如何培养孩子的同理心。故选B项。
C
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated (聚居) by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly connected groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education (义务教育), especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6, 800 languages. The distribution (分布) of these languages is hugely irregular. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1, 000; Africa 2, 400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to dying out, with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random (随机), Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
31. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?
A. They had similar patterns. B. They were closely connected.
C. They developed very fast. D. They were large in number.
32. Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Powerful. B. Modern.
C. Diverse. D. Advanced.
33. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?
A. About 1,200. B. About 2,400.
C. About 3,400. D. About 6,800.
34. What can be inferred from the phenomenon that the number of languages in Europe less than that in Asia?
A. The population of Europe is less than that of Asia.
B. The climate in Europe is milder than that in Asia.
C. The climate in Asia is drier than that in Europe.
D. Asia develop faster than Europe.
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Geography determines language development.
B. Human development results in fewer languages.
C. New languages will be created.
D. People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.
【答案】31. D 32. A 33. C 34. B 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。随着人类社会的发展,世界上的语言变得越来越少。文章主要介绍了语言减少甚至灭绝的现象,并分析了其原因。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段的“When the world was still populated(聚居) by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly connected groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.(当世界还居住着狩猎采集者时,小的紧密联系的组织发展了他们自己的相互独立的语言模式。一些语言专家认为,一万年前,当世界上只有500万到1000万人口的时候,他们之间可能说着12000种语言)”可知,在狩猎采集时代时,语言种类在数量上是很大的,故选D。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第二段划线词dominant前文的内容“In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education(义务教育), especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear(近几个世纪以来,贸易、工业化、民族国家的发展和义务教育的普及,尤其是全球化和过去几十年更好的交流,都导致许多语言消失)”可知,划线词前文的内容提到随着社会的发展,导致了许多语言的消失,故此处划线词dominant与A项“Powerful(有力量的,占主导地位的)”意思相近,语言的发展导致了许多语言的消失,因此占优势的语言如英语、西班牙语和汉语正在日益取代它们,故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“At present, the world has about 6, 800 languages.(目前,世界上大约有6800种语言)”和“The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.(说汉语的人的中位数仅为6000人,这意味着世界上一半的语言使用者都比这少)”可知,世界上的仅仅不到6000人,说的语言占到一半的世界语言,世界所有的语言大约有6800种,故6800*1/2=3400,故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1, 000; Africa 2, 400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.(一般规律是,通常有很多人说,温和地区的语言相对较少,而炎热潮湿地区的语言较多。欧洲有大约200种语言;美洲有1000种;非洲有2400种;亚洲及太平洋地区可能有3200种,其中仅巴布亚新几内亚就站800多种。)”可推知,温和地区的语言相对较少,而炎热潮湿地区的语言较多,欧洲的语言数量比亚洲少,说明欧洲的气候比亚洲的气候更温和,故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.(语言的产生和消失已经有几千年的历史了,但在最近的时间里,出现的语言越来越少,消失的语言却越来越多)”以及第二段中“In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education(义务教育), especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.(近几个世纪以来,贸易、工业化、民族国家的发展和义务教育的普及,尤其是全球化和过去几十年更好的交流,都导致许多语言消失,占优势的语言如英语、西班牙语和汉语正在日益取代他们。)”可知,本文主要介绍了随着人类的发展语言减少甚至灭绝的现象和原因,因此选项B“人类发展导致语言更少”符合文章标题。故选B。

根据空前“If you have trouble in remembering the date or the number, you are not the only one.(如果你在记住日期或号码方面有困难,你不是唯一一个.)”可知,记不住日期或号码的还有很多人,故C选项“Hundreds of students suffer from poor memory.(数百名学生的记忆力都很差。)”符合,承接上文,说明还有很多人记忆力不好,因此C选项承接上文。故选C。
【37题详解】
根据本段小标题 “Exercise regularly(定期锻炼)”可知,本段是讲锻炼可以提高记忆力。再结合空后“So put on your trainers, go outside and start working up a good sweat.(所以穿上运动鞋,走到户外,开始运动,让自己大汗淋漓)”推断出,空格处应提出如果不锻炼会有什么后果。故G选项“Research found that leading a sedentary(久坐不动的) lifestyle can lead to memory loss.(研究发现,久坐不动的生活方式会导致记忆力减退。)”说明了不锻炼的坏处,为下文提出锻炼的好处做好铺垫,因此G选项引起下文。故选G。
【38题详解】
根据本段内容“It’s a well-known fact eating vegetables can help keep your body healthy, and includes your brain.(众所周知,吃蔬菜可以帮助你保持身体健康,包括你的大脑)”可知,本段是要讲吃蔬菜有利于提高记忆力,故A选项“Eat your vegetables(吃你的蔬菜)”概括了吃蔬菜这个主题,可作为小标题。故选A。
【39题详解】
根据空前“Research found that intense and persistent stress, especially at high levels, can easily impair our memory and disturb our cognitive skills. (研究发现,强烈和持续的压力,尤其是高水平的压力,很容易损害我们的记忆和扰乱我们的认知技能。)”可知,由此说明,我们需要放松,要减少压力。故F选项“So slow down, and ease yourself into taking it down a notch (冷静).(所以慢下来,让自己放松下来)”承接下文,说明要放松下来,且空格后的“You can do this by meditating or taking a walk.(你可以通过冥想或散步来做到这一点。)”说明了放松的具体方法,由此F选项承上启下。故选F。
【40题详解】
根据空前“Yes, you heard us. Get on that controller and spend a couple of hours playing your favorite video game. It’s good for your mind, according to a recent study that illustrated how these pastimes can help improve the functioning of various memory-associated regions in the brain.(是的,你听到了。打开控制器,花几个小时玩你最喜欢的电子游戏。最近的一项研究表明,这些娱乐活动可以帮助改善大脑中与记忆相关的各个区域的功能,这对你的大脑有好处)”,这说明了打电子游戏有利于提高记忆力,但是根据常识,打电子游戏太多是不好的,E选项“But don’t go overboard, too much of a good thing can be bad for you.(但不要太过头,好事过了头可能对你有害。)”强调了不要打太多电子游戏,由此E选项承接上文。故选E。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“天问一号”火星探测器成功降落在火星上,开启了中国深空探索的新篇章,也为人类探索宇宙做出了新的贡献。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2021年5月15日,中国火星探测器“天问一号”成功登陆火星,开启了中国深空探测的新篇章,为人类探索宇宙做出了又一贡献。分析可知,设空处及之后的内容在句中作状语,动词enter和上文内容之间是主动关系,结合and marking,可知此处要用现在分词形式entering。故填entering。
【57题详解】
考查名词。句意:2021年5月15日,中国火星探测器“天问一号”成功登陆火星,开启了中国深空探测的新篇章,为人类探索宇宙做出了又一贡献。根据句中another,可知其后要跟单数名词。contribute“贡献”为动词,其名词形式为contribution作宾语。故填contribution。
58题详解】
考查冠词。句意:携带火星探测器的着陆器在乌托邦平原南部预先选定的着陆点着陆。rover为可数名词,句中用的单数,所以前应用不定冠词修饰,Mars为辅音音素开头,用a修饰。故填a。
【59题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:此前,2020年7月23日,由轨道飞行器、着陆器和月球车组成的“天问一号”从文昌航天器发射场发射升空。设空处在句中作谓语,结合时间状语on July 23, 2020,此处的时态为一般过去时;句子主语Tianwen-1与动词launch为动宾关系,所以launch要用被动。所以填was launched。故填was launched。
【60题详解】
考查代词。句意:这是中国太阳系行星探测的第一步,其目标是在一次任务中完成对红色星球的轨道运行、着陆和巡游。分析句子结构可知,本句缺少主语,此处是固定句型:it was the first+to do sth.其中,it作形式主语,真正的主语为后文的不定式,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填It。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:这是中国太阳系行星探测的第一步,其目标是在一次任务中完成对红色星球的轨道运行、着陆和巡游。固定短语with the aim of,意为“以……为目的”,故填介词with。
【62题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:自20世纪60年代以来,已经进行了40多次火星任务,但只有大约一半成功了。结合句中since the 1960s,所以此处要用现在完成时;句中主语More than 40 Mars missions为复数含义,与动词短语carry out为动宾关系,所以carry out要用被动语态。所以填have been carried,故填have been carried。
【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意:着陆的成功率更低。even常置于比较级之前,所以此处要用比较级lower。故填lower。
【64题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:对火星的探索,不仅可以研究火星上是否有生命,也可以帮助我们了解地球的进化史和未来的各种发展趋势,还可以为人类寻找潜在的生存空间,这对人类社会来说是极其重要的。分析可知,______ there is or was life on Mars在句中为宾语从句,句子不缺少成分,意义上缺少“是否”含义,whether,意为“是否”,故填whether。
【65题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:对火星的探索,不仅可以研究火星上是否有生命,也可以帮助我们了解地球的进化史和未来的各种发展趋势,还可以为人类寻找潜在的生存空间,这对人类社会来说是极其重要的。trend“趋势”为可数名词,结合句中the various future development,所以此处要用复数。故填trends。

____________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I walked around looking at the street art for a few hours.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语、名词短语和非谓语动词。句子在描述过去发生的事情,时态应用一般过去时;“一连好几小时”可用介词短语for a few hours,作时间状语;主语“我”用代词I;谓语“四处走着”可用动词短语walk around作谓语,用过去式;“欣赏”可用动词短语look at,“街头艺术”可用名词短语the street art,“欣赏街头艺术”为look at the street art,可看作是伴随谓语行为发生的动作,用非谓语表示,因look at与I逻辑上是主动关系,因此look用现在分词的形式,作伴随状语。故可译为:I walked around looking at the street art for a few hours.
82. 许多游客和旧金山人也许最钟爱的是唐人街的美食。(用what引导主语从句)(汉译英)

83. 她很快成为有史以来第一位被聘为住院医师的女性。(用the first to do)(汉译英)

【详解】考查不定式作定语。“很快”表达为immediately/soon;“成为”表达为become;“第一位女性”表达为the first woman;“被聘为”表达为be hired as;“住院医师”表达为a resident physician;“第一位被聘为住院医师的女性”应用不定式作定语,表达为the first woman ever to be hired as a resident physician,to be hired为不定式作定语,修饰the first woman,序数词后应用不定式作定语,且此处陈述过去发生的事情,故应用一般过去时,故翻译为:She immediately/soon became the first woman ever to be hired as a resident physician。
84. It is necessary to find a new home for people in space, as the resources on Earth will run out. (英译汉)
____________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】由于地球上的资源会耗尽,在太空为人们找到一个新家是有必要的。

【详解】考查固定句型。此句为“it is+adj.+for sb.+to do”句式,it为形式主语,不定式to find a new home for people“为人们找到一个新家”为真正的主语;“necessary必要的”为表语;in space“在太空中”为地点状语;as引导原因状语从句,从句中,the resources on Earth“地球上的资源”为主语,will run out“将会耗尽”为谓语动词。故翻译为:由于地球上的资源会耗尽,在太空为人们找到一个新家是有必要的。
85. In the film The Million Pound Bank Note, Henry Adams is stuck in a foreign country without money and friends, and with nowhere to stay. (英译汉)
____________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】在电影《百万英镑》中,Henry Adams被困在异国他乡,没有钱,没有朋友,也没有地方可待。
【解析】
【详解】考查动词(短语)、形容词和名词。介词短语In the film The Million Pound Bank Note作地点状语,可译为“在电影《百万英镑》中”,专有名词Henry Adams作主语,可保留英文名,谓语部分is stuck in可译为“被困在”,名词短语a foreign country作in的宾语,可译为“异国他乡”,两个并列的介词短语without money and friends, and with nowhere to stay作方式状语,without money and friends可译为“没有钱,没有朋友”,连词and可译为“也”,with nowhere to stay可译为“没有地方可待”。故可译为:在电影《百万英镑》中,Henry Adams被困在异国他乡,没有钱,没有朋友,也没有地方可待。

第一节(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)
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。
A
For visitors who are on a short weekend visit to the island Bali, here is a tip of how to get the most out of their 48-hour visit.
Friday
3 pm — There is nothing like a good meal. La Lucciola at Seminyak is the place to be, with its good food, great service and a beautiful view of the sea.
5 pm — About an hour away from La Lucciola is Uluwatu. This southern tip of the island is famous for its famous temple that stands on the edge, high above the sea. The fire dance, is performed here daily at sunset.
8 pm — To finish off the evening, head to Jimbaran Bay where restaurants offer candles, local dances and a moving band of boys singing songs on request. Kick off your shoes, feel the sand, and enjoy the fresh seafood.
Saturday
9:30 am — Start the day with another experience of Balinese culture by heading for a dance performance.
12 pm — Kintamani, a favourite with tourists for the panoramic (全景的) view of active volcano Mt. Batur and neighbouring crater lake. It’s a good idea to reach Kintamani early as it tends to get cloudy after 3 pm. Have lunch at a local restaurant with a view of Mt. Batur and the lake. Tourists can catch the sunrise at the Mt. Batur peak.
2:30 pm — Head back to Ubud, the seat of Bali’s fine arts, dance and music, and spend the rest of your afternoon strolling through its streets.
Sunday
6 am — It’s time for a reduce in the sea — and don’t forget the camera.
10:30 am — It’s another half-day trip to two of the most famous temples in Bali. Drive down to the Taman Ayun temple at Mengwi.
12 pm — Next up is the Tanah Lot temple, perhaps the most famous of them all. Built on a rock that gets cut off from the mainland during high tide, the temple is best seen in the afternoon when it is silhouetted (显出轮廓) against the sun or at sunset.
21. From the passage, we know that the fire dance is performed .
A. in Ubud B. only on weekends
C. on the sea D. every day
22. Why is it better to go to Kintamani early?
A. Because the view of sunrise is better than that of sunset.
B. Because the weather there is not so good after mid-afternoon.
C. Because the restaurants there close early in the afternoon.
D. Because the volcano there is not active the afternoon.
23. Which is the best place for tourists to have a good time at night?
A. Jimbaran Bay B. Mengw
C. La Lucciol D. Puri Saraswat
24. When is the best time to see Tanah Lot temple?
A. In the morning. B. In the afternoon.
C. In the evening. D. At noon.
25. Where can you see this passage?
A. novel B. newspaper
C. textbook D. brochure
B
Empathy (同理心) is one of those strange qualities—something almost everyone wants, but few know how to truly give or receive it. In a world where self-satisfaction is emphasized, it is in short supply but high demand. This is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means to have empathy for those around them.
What Is Empathy? — Many people confuse sympathy and empathy, but they are two distinct values. Empathy is not just the ability to understand someone's feelings; criminals often take advantage of people by appearing to understand their feelings and finally gaining their trust. Empathy is more than that. Not only is it the ability to recognize how someone feels, but it also values and respects the feelings of another person. It means treating others with kindness, dignity, and understanding.
Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy — While some children are gifted with naturally kind hearts, in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them. It begins with the way parents relate to their children. Parents who show an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy.
Meet Emotional Needs —When children have their emotional needs met, two things happen. They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are receiving, meaning that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive. An empty jug cannot fill a cup.
It's a good idea to talk to kids about emotions and how other people experience them. Give their emotions names (for example, jealousy, anger, and love) and teach them that these are normal. Talk to them about how to handle emotions in a positive way and point out situations where other people are experiencing emotions. Teach them about respecting the emotions of others and show them how to act in a situation where a response is required.
26. Why is it that the next generation are taught to have empathy?
A. Because it's better to give than to receive.
B. Because everyone lacks empathy.
C. Because people tend to center themselves.
D Because empathy is a strange quality.
27. Which situation can empathy be used in?
A. When a teacher is comforting a student about his failure in exams.
B. When a mathematician is calculating the area of a farmland.
C. When a criminal is cheating a victim.
D. When a dancer is dancing to music.
28. What can be learnt from paragraph 3?
A. Children are born with kind hearts
B. Children can learn empathy by themselves.
C. Children can learn empathy from seeing how their parents do that to them.
D. Parents just interested in something that matter to their kids can teach their kids empathy
29. What does the underlined sentence “An empty jug cannot fill a cup” mean?
A. An empty jug is too small to hold a cup.
B. It's a must to talk to kids about emotions.
C. Kids give empathy with their emotional needs met first.
D. Adults should set an example to kids.
30. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How to distinguish sympathy and empathy.
B. How to train kids to have empathy.
C. How to help kids finish empathy-related tasks.
D. Whether kids can be trained to be more empathetic.
C
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated (聚居) by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly connected groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education (义务教育), especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6, 800 languages. The distribution (分布) of these languages is hugely irregular. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1, 000; Africa 2, 400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to dying out, with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random (随机), Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
31. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?
A. They had similar patterns. B. They were closely connected.
C. They developed very fast. D. They were large in number.
32. Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Powerful. B. Modern.
C. Diverse. D. Advanced.
33. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?
A. About 1,200. B. About 2,400.
C. About 3,400. D. About 6,800.
34. What can be inferred from the phenomenon that the number of languages in Europe less than that in Asia?
A. The population of Europe is less than that of Asia.
B. The climate in Europe is milder than that in Asia.
C. The climate in Asia is drier than that in Europe.
D. Asia develop faster than Europe.
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Geography determines language development.
B. Human development results in fewer languages.
C. New languages will be created.
D. People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.
