Whenthe world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit（联系）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 settli ng dow n to become farmers, and theirIanguages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade,industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory4/ 15educati on, especially globalisatio n and better com muni cati ons in the past few decades, allhave caused many Ian guages to disappear, and domin ant languages such as En glish, Spanish and Chin ese are in creas in gly tak ing over.At present, the world has about 6,800 Ianguages. The distribution of these Ianguages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few Ianguages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Ian guages;the Americas about 1,000;Africa 2,400;a nd Asia and the Pacific perhaps3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone acco unts for well over 800. The media n nu mber( 中位数)of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world ' s Ianguages are spoken byfewer people tha n that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 Ian guages are close to ext in cti on( 消亡),withonly a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, 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 questi on-mark): none of these seems to have much cha nee of survival.28. What can we infer about Ian guages in hun ter-gatherer times?A. They developed very fast.B. They were large in nu mber.C. They had similar patter ns.D. They were closely conn ected.29. Which of the following best explains “ dominant ” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Complex.B.Adva need.C. Powerful.D.Modern.30. How many Ian guages are spoke n by less tha n 6,000 people at prese nt?A. About 6,800.B.About 3,400.C.About 2,400.D.About 1,200.31. What is the main idea of the text?A. New Ian guages will be created.B. People ' s lifestyle s are reflected in Ianguages.C. Huma n developme nt results in fewer Ian guages.D. Geography determ ines Ian guage evoluti on.D（2018课标全国I ,D）We may think we ' re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices（装置） well after they go out of style. That 's bad news for the environment —and our wallets —as theseoutdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life —from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how homeenergy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smartphones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn 't throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids ' room, and s uddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house, ” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We' re not just keeping these old devices —we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt ' s team, old desktop monitors andbox TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions（排放） more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007window.So what' s the soluti on（解决方案）?The team' s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.32. What does the author think of new devices?A. They are environment-friendly.B. They are no better than the old.C. They cost more to use at home.D. They go out of style quickly.33. Why did Babbitt ' s team conduct the research?A. To reduce the cost of minerals.B. To test the life cycle of a product.C. To update consumers on new technology.D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.34. Which of the followi ng uses the least en ergy?A.The box-set TV.B.The tablet.C.The LCD TV.D.The desktop computer.35. What does the text suggest people do about old electr onic devices?A.Stop using them.B.Take them apart.C.Upgrade them.D.Recycle them.第二节（共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分）（2017课标全国川）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Instead,he simply asked,“The address?”An hour later Steve arrived in his truck.He looked exactly as I had imagined he might:broad and bearlike,in well-worn clothing.“Can you fix it?”I asked with a mixture of doubt and hope.Steve looked at me as if responding to my lack of faith.With a cheerful shrug that suggested my crisis was all in a day’s work for him,he said,“Sure.”After a short while,Steve told me that he had to get a tool and tear up the street to the main sewer line.He would first have to get permission from the town.I registered appropriate panic.“How long will all this take?”Again,a shrug.“I should have it done by evening.”I did not want to watch the digging of my property unfold and went into town to visit some fiends.I felt somewhat guilty upon driving off in my clean vehicle,leaving Steve to such a disagreeabletask.Finally,when I went home,a sweeter sight I never saw;a period of newly paved street and all was tidy and relatively dry.I need to say,in my own defense,that I am not a weak father of two children.I’ve traveled all over the world,served in the United States Navy and earned a PhD.But the broken sewer line was my limit.Then I thought about Steve.Big,rough,and how people might judge him,if not for his appearance then for his work.And I was taken by the very idea that,no matter what crisis occurs, there is somebody,somewhere,who has the appropriate tools and settles it.24.What do we know about Steve?A.He wears neat and new clothes.B.He is quite confident of his skills.C.He always complains about his job.D.He hesitates to accept the repair work.25.What did Steve think of the author’s crisis?A.It’s a great challenge.B.It’s beyond his ability.C.It’s a part of his routine.D.It’s none of his business.26.Why did the author leave home during the repairs?A.He liked to take his time riding outside.B.He drove to turn to his friends for help.C.He was afraid of being looked down upon.D.He was unwilling to face the embarrassing situation.27.What can be inferred from the text?A.Action speaks louder than words.B.God helps those who help themselves.C.Every profession produces its top experts.D.Hope for the best,but prepare for the worst.CThe Detroit Symphony Orchestra will be performing works by Georges Bizet Friday morning. You might enjoy classical music and like to attend the performance,but live far away from America’s Motor City.On Saturday.the GoGo group Curtis Johnson is performing at the Kennedy Center in Washington.D.C.If you live overseas.going to that show is probably out of the question.But there is a solution!These and other concerts are available“live”on the Internet.You can hear them in real time with an electronic device.Both performances will be available on the World Wide Web.They are part of a growing number of concerts broadcast on computers,tablets and smart phones.These digital concerts are known as live-streaming.Technology expert Michael Antonoff says better and less costly equipment is making it easier for performers and theaters to offer music“live”online.The quality of the sound and video pictures are improving all the time,he says.Those online concerts now have as many as40,000viewers per show.People in100nations are watching.It is a huge part of our increasing global reach.For international performers,Kennedy Center officials see a jump in online viewership from the home countries of the performer.There is hometown pride when an artist is performing in one ofAmerica’s best-known concerts,says the Kennedy Center’s Garth Ross.At a recent Kennedy Center concert,a performer said he was so happy that his disabled mother back in California could watch his performance.It is not just music being streamed on the web.On December10,the producer of musical“Daddy Long legs”put the show on the web free of charge.It was the first live webcast of a New York musical.Over150,000peoplefrom135nations watched,producer Ken Davenport said.In other words,it would take his musical 2.7years of sold-out performances to draw that many people.28.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase“out of the question”in Paragraph 2?A.Impossible.B.Easy.C.Exciting.D.Concerning.29.What results from the improvement of equipment?A.The equipment is becoming more expensive.B.Few people like watching performances at spot.C.People can watch digital concerts free of charge.D.More and more people enjoy the performances online.30.How do the international artists feel about their performances?A.Proud.B.Anxious.C.Relaxed.D.Stressed.31.What is the best title for the text?A.A Solution to Live Concert ProblemsB.Detroit Symphony Orchestra PerformanceC.American Concerts Available WorldwideD.Development of Music Electronic DeviceDRecycling is essential in today’s world.The most important reason for this is that human progress and industry have made it possible for people to have lots of things,and when people have many material possessions,they are bound to throw some of them away.This creates a lot of garbage which in turn destroys the environment.Recycling is a way for us to keep the world clean as items are broken down and used again, preventing the littering of the environment.Instead of throwing all your garbage into the trash can, you should separate paper,metal,glass,and plastic into different post should also be recycled as this is excellent food for farm animals and also makes for great fertilizer(肥料). You should try to buy products that have been recycled.You can see if an item has been made from recycled materials by its label;if it’s been recycled,it will say so.Also,instead of always buying new clothes,you can arrange to have a clothing swap with your friends.You bring clothes you don’t want and pick items you want from what other people have brought.Not only does this save the environment,but it also saves your pocketbook.Remember,what is one person’s junk can be someone else’s treasure!The saying can be applied to all sorts of things:books,CDS,furniture,etc.Also,try shopping at second-hand stores,because they often have lots of items still in good shape for you to choose.Many countries have made it easy for people to recycle,as alongside the normal garbage trucks, special garbage trucks come and pick up recyclables.However,in many countries around the world the responsibility is left up to the individual to recycle.Therefore,it must be made a priority (优先考虑的事)in society so we can continue to make our environment livable.32.Why is more waste being made in today’s world?A.People dislike the updated items.B.People own abundant belongings.C.People intend to live a simple life.D.People have made great progress in industry.33.What does the underlined word“this”in Paragraph3refer to?A.Exchanging clothes with friends.B.Shopping at second-hand stores.C.Throwing away old clothes.D.Picking up new items.34.To make the environment enjoyable,we should.A.always buy new clothesB.choose recyclable productsC.go shopping at chain storesD.arrange more garbage trucks35.What can we learn from the last paragraph?ernments do nothing in recycling.B.Normal vehicles can pick up recyclables.C.The individual seldom cares about recycling.D.Everyone should feel socially responsible for rcling.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Furthermore, traditional festivals provide opportunities for family reunion so we can enjoy more happiness when celebrating festivals with our family. Finally, only by cherishing our own traditional festivals can we keep our cultures and customs alive.In a word, we should protect our cultures and keep them in mind who we are and where we are from. 【答案解析】第一部分阅读理解第一节A篇【语篇导读】本文为应用文中的广告篇：主要关于悉尼一日游的三个旅游项目广告的相关信息，包括各项目简介、运营时间、收费、及相关注意事项。

Last September the couple moved into a 1,500-square-foot home in Premier Gardens, an area of 95 “zero-energy homes” (ZEH) just outside town. Now they're actually eager to see their electricity bills. The grand total over the 10 months they've lived in the three-bedroom house: $75. For the past two months, they haven’t paid a cent.ZEH communities are the leading edge of technologies that might someday create houses that produce as much energy as they consume. Premier Gardens is one of a half-dozen subdivisions (住宅开发项目) in California where every home cuts power consumption by 50%, mostly by using low power appliances and solar panels.Aside from the panels on the roof, Premier Gardens looks like a community of traditional homes. But inside, special windows cut power bills by blocking solar heat in summer and keeping indoor warmth winter.The rest of the energy savings comes from the solar units. They don't just feed the home they serve. If they generate more power than the home is using, the excess flows into the utility's power grid(电网). The residents are billed by “net metering”: they pay for the amount of power that they get from the grid, minus the kilowatts(千瓦) they feed into it. If a home generates more power than it uses, the bill is zero.That sounds like a bad deal for the power company, but it's not. Solar homes produce the most power on the hot sunny afternoons when everyone rushes home to turn up the air conditioner. "It helps us lower usage at peak power times," says solar expert Mike Keesee. “That lets us avoid building costly plants or buying expensive power at peak usage time.”What’s not to like? Mostly the costs. The special features can add $25,000 or more to the purchase price of a house. Tax breaks bring the cost down, especially in California, but in many states ZEHs can be extremely expensive. For the consumer, it's a matter of paying now for the hardware to save later on the power bill.4. Why is the Gata eager to see their electricity bills now?A. They want to cut down their utility' expenses.B. They want to know if they are able to pay.C. They want to see how much they have saved.D. They want to avoid being overcharged.5. What is special about the ZEH communities?A. They are built in harmony with the environment.B. They have created cutting edge technologies.C. They are subdivided into half a dozen sections.D. They aim to be independent in power supply.6. What does the "net metering" practice mean to the power company?A. More pressure at peak timeB. Reduced operational costs.C. Increased electricity output.D. Less profits in the short term.7. The author believes that buying a house in a ZEH community __________.A. is a worthy investment in the long runB. is but a dream for average consumersC. gives the owner great tax benefitsD. contributes toenvironmental protectionCI don’t want to talk about being a woman scientistagain. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated (controlled) by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space, time and the nature of black holes.At 19, when I began studying astrophysics (天体物理学), it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement — jobs, research papers, awards — was viewed through the lens (镜片) of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations (挑衅): I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist?
