Learning English is crucial (重要的) in today's world. To master it, several methods can be adopted.
Firstly, reading is a great way. When reading English materials, try to understand new words from the context. For example, if you come across an unfamiliar word “pragmatic” in an article about business, you can figure out its meaning from the sentences around it. This not only helps expand (扩大) vocabulary but also improves reading skills.

Secondly, different types of learning resources are useful. In addition to textbooks, watching English movies and listening to English radio are also good choices. They can bring you into contact with native speakers' pronunciation and intonation (语调). Moreover, English video games and interactive apps can make learning more interesting. They let you practice grammar and vocabulary in a fun way.
Joining an English-learning organization is likely to improve your English. In such a group, you can practice speaking with others regularly. There are often language exchange events where you can interact with people from diverse backgrounds, enhancing your communication and cultural awareness.

Five hundred years ago, Europeans arrived on a new continent. They brought new cultures and languages to this place which they called America. However, there were already people living here who had their own cultures and languages, so a terrible part of history began.
As more Europeans arrived, there was a fight with the Native Americans for the land and by the end of the nineteenth century, the native tribes were moved to reservations. A lot of their children were taken away to boarding schools and taught to speak English. By the end of the twentieth century, more than half of Native Americans were living in cities. They gave up speaking their old tribal language and only used English. As a result, many Native American languages disappeared, and with them, their culture.

Some Native American languages are still used today, but they are usually spoken by the older members of the tribes who still live on the reservations. For most of the younger members of the tribe, the everyday language is English.
The good news is that some of these “last speakers” are keeping their culture and language alive. They are also receiving help from the National Geographic Society's Enduring Voices Project which aims to keep languages around the world from dying out. Linguists and experts meet with these “last speakers”, interview them, and record video, pictures, and audio of them. The “last speakers” tell old stories which are written down in English so people can learn more about the culture.

28
Recording the language and culture is only part of the project. The next stage is to pass on the language to the next generation. Some children pick it up from their parents or grandparents, but many tribes now offer courses. The Salish tribe is an excellent example. They live on Montana's Flathead Reservation and their language is spoken by about 50 people over the age of 75 and no one under 50. So the tribe has set up a school. It has 30 students aged two to twelve during the day and offers courses for adults in the evening. Schools and projects like these hopefully will save languages for the future.

解析:考查冠词。设空后为形容词最高级,应用定冠词修饰。故填the。
2.答案:to attract

37
3.答案:curiosity
解析:考查词性转换。介词后应用名词作宾语,out of curiosity “出于好奇”。故填curiosity。
4.答案:making
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:湖水的水位如此接近路面,当人们开车时,前方的景色开阔而明亮。设空处与逗号前的句子之间为主动关系,应用现在分词作状语,表示自然而然的结果。故填making。
作业2 主题拓展作业

8.答案:However
解析:考查副词。上文提到当鄱阳湖水位开始上升时,路面就看不见了。下文提到司机们仍然能够安全地开车穿过鄱阳湖,因此上下文为转折关系,且设空后有逗号,应用副词however;置于句首,单词首字母大写。故填However。

9.答案:like
解析:考查介词。句意:对于渴望强烈刺激感的驾驶者来说,这就像驾驶水陆两栖的超级汽车。设空处位于系动词之后,动名词之前,应用介词,此处表示“像……一样”。故填like。
10.答案:will be flooded
解析:考查动词的时态和语态。句意:然后再过几天,整条路就会被不断上涨的水淹没。根据时间状语in a few days以及句意可知,设空处应用一般将来时,主语road与flood为被动关系。故填will be flooded。
