Not all 7, 000 languages and dialects are on the Internet. A lot of them are 3 . According to a UNESCO study, 98% of the pages on the Internet are just 12 languages. Also, over 50% of those are in English. That’s 4 for English speakers but not for many others. A part of the problem comes from computer keyboards. They only have letters in English or the other main languages on the Internet. So, it’s impossible for the speakers of the missing languages to type their words. Another part of the problem comes from computer programmes. They are also in English and the other main languages. So, to 5 them, the speakers of the missing languages must have knowledge of the main languages. People are working to solve this problem. They don’t want to 6 any of the world’s languages.

Jack suggested we should focus on making a model, while I thought a presentation would be 1 . Our disagreement quickly 2 into a heated exchange of words. As the argument grew louder, other classmates started to gather around, which only made things worse. I could feel my face turning red with anger and I said some things I didn’t really mean. Jack looked equally upset and the anger between us was obvious. It wasn’t long before the bell rang. We went back to our seat 3 fixing anything and I spent the next few classes feeling awful. During the last period, I couldn’t concentrate on the lesson. All I could think about was the argument and how it might 4 our project and our friendship. I knew I had to make things right. After school, I went to Jack as he was packing up his things. I took a deep breath and apologized for my harsh words. Jack looked surprised but relieved. He admitted that he had also been too stubborn and apologized as well. We sat down and talked things 5 . It turned out we both had good points and could combine our ideas for the project. By the end of our conversation, the anger had completely disappeared. We even laughed about how silly the whole argument had been. I’m really glad we were able to fix things quickly.

But some languages do seem to be spoken faster than 1 . Even if you know a little Japanese or Spanish, watching a TV show in those languages is not 2 ! And there’s a good reason for this—they are spoken faster! Speakers of these languages use more syllables (音节) per second, according to a 2019 study. In those two languages, speakers use almost eight syllables per second. Mandarin (普通话), for example, was spoken at just over five syllables per second. But that doesn’t mean that conversations in Mandarin last a lot 3 than those in Japanese. Now, researchers have found that while there are 4 in the speeds at which languages are spoken, the speeds at which people express information are all about the same. So how does that 5 ? To understand more, the researchers looked at each syllable in the texts and at how much information each one conveys (传达). There are some single-syllable words that give us quite a lot of information; for example, the words “hope” or “love” in English. These give us much more information than many single syllables that are nothing more than sounds or parts of words. Some languages express rich information with just 6 sounds so speakers don’t have to use many words to share the same message. 1．A．other B．others C．the other D．another 2．A．interesting B．popular C．friendly D．easy 3．A．more B．shorter C．longer D．faster 4．A．lessons B．problems C．changes D．differences 5．A．work B．use C．break D．allow 6．A．a little B．a few C．few D．much Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.

In most cases, it represents bravery, strength and authority. But sometimes it stands for cruelty and danger. What about a smiling tiger? In China, Xiaomianhu, or “tiger with a smiling face”, is used to describe people who appear to be kind and friendly, but actually have dangerous intentions and plans. Zhilaohu , or “a paper tiger”, is another Chinese term where the tiger is seen in a less positive way. Making paper models is a long-cherished traditional folk art in China. People usually use bamboo sticks and paper to create all kinds of things. For instance, craftsmen make paper models of houses, furniture, cars, televisions, washing machines and even smartphones to be burned as offerings to the dead at funerals. They also make large paper models of zodiac animals (生肖动物), like the rabbit, ox, dragon, rooster and tiger, to celebrate the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival. Naturally, the term “paper tiger” gradually found its way into the Chinese colloquial (口语的) language. Former Chinese leader Mao Zedong once used it to describe imperialism and the atomic bomb (原子弹), meaning that they seem powerful and scary but are actually weak or ineffective. Today, this term is still widely used to describe one’s rivals and opponents. So, in the eyes of Chinese people, a smiling tiger is a real threat and a paper tiger is a false threat. 1．According to the passage, why might “a smiling tiger” be considered more dangerous than “a paper tiger”? A．Because it appears weak but is actually powerful. B．Because it looks friendly but has hidden harmful intentions. C．Because it is strong and brave. D．Because it is only symbolic and not real. 2．Why is the “paper tiger” considered a false threat according to the passage? A．Because it is a dangerous decoration. B．Because it is a symbol of peace and harmony. C．Because it is associated with zodiac animals. D．Because it represents something that appears powerful but is actually weak. 3．What does the passage suggest about the relationship between traditional Chinese folk art and language? A．Folk art is rarely reflected in everyday language. B．Folk art only influences language during festivals. C．The passage suggests no connection between folk art and language. D．Terms from folk art like “paper tiger” can become part of the common language. 4．What are paper models often made of in traditional Chinese art? A．Wood and paint. B．Clay and stone. C．Bamboo sticks and paper. D．Metal and glass. 5．How does making paper models relate to the concept of “a paper tiger”? A．Both represent something that seems real or strong but is actually fragile. B．Both are used to celebrate the Lantern Festival. C．Both involve creating strong and durable objects. D．Both are used as offerings to the dead at funerals. 6．According to the passage, which of the following statements is correct? A．Don’t worry; he’s just a paper tiger. B．She seems harmless, but she’s really a paper tiger. C．He’s very friendly; he’s a true smiling tiger. D．Everyone respects him because he’s a powerful paper tiger. “Colour” and “color”, “favourite” and “favorite” ... Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a “u”? Is it because they are lazy? Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was started by a teacher named Noah Webster. He changed English to make American identity (特征) stronger. After the Revolutionary War (独立战争), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary and that they shouldn’t rely on British ones. He took away the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded. He used “subway” instead of (代替) British word “underground”. Some other words are “soccer” and “football”, “fall” and “autumn”. Webster spent 28 years finishing the 70,000-word dictionary with his American-style spellings in 1828. He also brought in local words. Most American schools use his dictionary. People believe it helped a new country get unity (统一) and cultural independence (文化独立) . “He was the maker of our language and the maker of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is writing a book about Webster. “He at last brought us together through our language.” 1．Americans spell some words without a “u” because ________.

However, advances in technology over the next few years may bring even bigger changes. Holograms For around 50 years, people of all ages have been enjoying ABBA’s live music, but since 1982, when the band played their last show, fans have had little hope of seeing their favourite group live on stage again. That is now about to change as the band has announced plans for their first shows in nearly forty years. The four members of the band will not be on the stage together. 2 , they will appear as holograms. The holograms will show the band as they looked back to 1979, when ABBA was the biggest band around the world. And they won’t be the only band to have 3 to the stage via holograms. In 2018, Freddie Mercury appeared in hologram form alongside Queen in Las Vegas, even though he died more than 25 years ago. Virtual Reality (VR) VR technology has made lots of progress recently. You may soon be able to enjoy watching your favourite band live 4 even leaving your house.

But some languages do seem to be spoken faster than 1 . Even if you know a little Japanese or Spanish, watching a TV show in those languages is not 2 ! And there’s a good reason for this—they are spoken faster! Speakers of these languages use more syllables (音节) per second, according to a 2019 study. In those two languages, speakers use almost eight syllables per second. Mandarin (普通话), for example, was spoken at just over five syllables per second. But that doesn’t mean that conversations in Mandarin last a lot 3 than those in Japanese. Now, researchers have found that while there are 4 in the speeds at which languages are spoken, the speeds at which people express information are all about the same. So how does that 5 ? To understand more, the researchers looked at each syllable in the texts and at how much information each one conveys (传达). There are some single-syllable words that give us quite a lot of information; for example, the words “hope” or “love” in English. These give us much more information than many single syllables that are nothing more than sounds or parts of words. Some languages express rich information with just 6 sounds so speakers don’t have to use many words to share the same message. 1．A．other B．others C．the other D．another 2．A．interesting B．popular C．friendly D．easy 3．A．more B．shorter C．longer D．faster 4．A．lessons B．problems C．changes D．differences 5．A．work B．use C．break D．allow 6．A．a little B．a few C．few D．much 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．D 5．A 6．B 【导语】本文主要探讨了不同语言的语速存在差异，但人们表达信息的速度大致相同。一些语言虽然语速较快，但每个音节传达的信息量较少；而语速较慢的语言，每个音节传达的信息量较多，因此整体信息表达速度相近。 1．句意：但有些语言似乎比别的语言说得更快。 other其他的、别的；others其他的、别的（人或东西）；the other（两者中的）另一个；another另一个。根据“some languages do seem to be spoken faster than...”以及选项可知，应用others，表示有些语言似乎比别的语言说得更快。故选B。 2．句意：即使你懂一点日语或西班牙语，看那些语言的电视节目也不容易！ interesting有趣的；popular受欢迎的；friendly友好的；easy容易的。根据下一句“And there’s a good reason for this—they are spoken faster!”以及选项可知，此处表示看那些语言的电视节目也不容易。故选D。 3．句意：但这并不意味着用普通话交谈的时间比用日语交谈的时间长得多。 more更多；shorter更短；longer更长；faster更快。根据下一句“Now, researchers have found that while there are...in the speeds at which languages are spoken, the speeds at which people express information are all about the same.”以及选项可知，此处表示这并不意味着用普通话交谈的时间比用日语交谈的时间长得多。故选C。 4．句意：现在研究人员发现，虽然语言的语速存在差异，但人们表达信息的速度大致相同。 lessons课程；problems问题；changes改变；differences差异。根据前文“In those two languages, speakers use almost eight syllables per second.

In most cases, it represents bravery, strength and authority. But sometimes it stands for cruelty and danger. What about a smiling tiger? In China, Xiaomianhu, or “tiger with a smiling face”, is used to describe people who appear to be kind and friendly, but actually have dangerous intentions and plans. Zhilaohu , or “a paper tiger”, is another Chinese term where the tiger is seen in a less positive way. Making paper models is a long-cherished traditional folk art in China. People usually use bamboo sticks and paper to create all kinds of things. For instance, craftsmen make paper models of houses, furniture, cars, televisions, washing machines and even smartphones to be burned as offerings to the dead at funerals. They also make large paper models of zodiac animals (生肖动物), like the rabbit, ox, dragon, rooster and tiger, to celebrate the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival. Naturally, the term “paper tiger” gradually found its way into the Chinese colloquial (口语的) language. Former Chinese leader Mao Zedong once used it to describe imperialism and the atomic bomb (原子弹), meaning that they seem powerful and scary but are actually weak or ineffective. Today, this term is still widely used to describe one’s rivals and opponents. So, in the eyes of Chinese people, a smiling tiger is a real threat and a paper tiger is a false threat. 1．According to the passage, why might “a smiling tiger” be considered more dangerous than “a paper tiger”? A．Because it appears weak but is actually powerful. B．Because it looks friendly but has hidden harmful intentions. C．Because it is strong and brave. D．Because it is only symbolic and not real. 2．Why is the “paper tiger” considered a false threat according to the passage? A．Because it is a dangerous decoration. B．Because it is a symbol of peace and harmony. C．Because it is associated with zodiac animals. D．Because it represents something that appears powerful but is actually weak. 3．What does the passage suggest about the relationship between traditional Chinese folk art and language? A．Folk art is rarely reflected in everyday language. B．Folk art only influences language during festivals. C．The passage suggests no connection between folk art and language. D．Terms from folk art like “paper tiger” can become part of the common language. 4．What are paper models often made of in traditional Chinese art? A．Wood and paint. B．Clay and stone. C．Bamboo sticks and paper. D．Metal and glass. 5．How does making paper models relate to the concept of “a paper tiger”? A．Both represent something that seems real or strong but is actually fragile. B．Both are used to celebrate the Lantern Festival. C．Both involve creating strong and durable objects. D．Both are used as offerings to the dead at funerals. 6．According to the passage, which of the following statements is correct? A．Don’t worry; he’s just a paper tiger. B．She seems harmless, but she’s really a paper tiger. C．He’s very friendly; he’s a true smiling tiger. D．Everyone respects him because he’s a powerful paper tiger. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 4．C 5．A 6．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国文化中老虎的象征意义，特别是“笑面虎”和“纸老虎”这两个词汇的含义及其背后的文化背景。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Xiaomianhu, or ‘tiger with a smiling face’, is used to describe people who appear to be kind and friendly, but actually have dangerous intentions and plans.”可知，“笑面虎”用来形容那些表面友善但实际上心怀不轨的人。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Former Chinese leader Mao Zedong once used it to describe imperialism and the atomic bomb, meaning that they seem powerful and scary but are actually weak or ineffective.”可知，“纸老虎”指的是看似强大但实际软弱或无效的事物。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Naturally, the term ‘paper tiger’ gradually found its way into the Chinese colloquial (口语的) language.”可知，纸老虎”一词逐渐进入了汉语口语。由此推知，像“纸老虎”这样的民间艺术术语可以成为通用语言的一部分。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Making paper models is a long-cherished traditional folk art in China. People usually use bamboo sticks and paper to create all kinds of things.”可知，传统中国艺术中的纸模型通常由竹子和纸制成。故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Former Chinese leader Mao Zedong once used it to describe imperialism and the atomic bomb, meaning that they seem powerful and scary but are actually weak or ineffective.”可知，“纸老虎”代表了一种看似真实或强大但实际上很脆弱的东西。故选A。 6．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Former Chinese leader Mao Zedong once used it to describe imperialism and the atomic bomb, meaning that they seem powerful and scary but are actually weak or ineffective.”和最后一段“Today, this term is still widely used to describe one’s rivals and opponents.”可知，“纸老虎”常用于描述看似强大但实际软弱的对手。由此推知，“别担心；他只是一只纸老虎”是正确的。故选A。 “Colour” and “color”, “favourite” and “favorite” ... Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a “u”? Is it because they are lazy? Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was started by a teacher named Noah Webster. He changed English to make American identity (特征) stronger. After the Revolutionary War (独立战争), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary and that they shouldn’t rely on British ones. He took away the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded. He used “subway” instead of (代替) British word “underground”. Some other words are “soccer” and “football”, “fall” and “autumn”. Webster spent 28 years finishing the 70,000-word dictionary with his American-style spellings in 1828. He also brought in local words. Most American schools use his dictionary. People believe it helped a new country get unity (统一) and cultural independence (文化独立) . “He was the maker of our language and the maker of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is writing a book about Webster. “He at last brought us together through our language.” 1．Americans spell some words without a “u” because ________.
