46. 短文改错

Recently I found that some classmates lead a unhealthy life, such as staying up lately and not eating breakfast. Although we are under great pressure, but it is necessary for us live a healthy life. The following are some useful tip.

First, it’s important that we have a balanced diet and enjoy breakfast every day, because we consume many energy while studying. Second, take exercise regularly is of equal importance, where can help us to keep fit and release stress.

More importantly, we should develop a positive attitude, which allows us to look for things positively no matter what happen.

Blind people can read. They do so by running their fingers along a line of raised points or dots on paper. Of course, they first have to learn the code（代码）. Here are some examples of it. One dot stands for the letter “A”. Two dots side by side mean “C”. Four dots arranged to look like a box（： ：） stand for the letter “G”. By placing the dots in special patterns, all the letters of the alphabet can be formed.

This code was made up by a Frenchman called Louis Braille. Though he could see at birth, he became sightless when he was only three. Braille was cutting leather in his father’s shop. His knife slipped and cut his eye. Infection（感染）spread to both eyes, and he became blind.

At 10, he was placed in a home for the blind. But young Braille had great talent. He became a skilled musician and soon got a job as a church organist（风琴弹奏者）in Paris.

Because he had talent and was quick, he became a teacher at a school for the blind. While there, he heard that a captain had sent messages to his soldiers that they could read at night without light. His messages were in the simple form of raised dots and dashes. This was the clue Braille needed. At the age of 15, he worked out his own six-dot code. Each group of dots is called a cell. The cells are three dots high and two dots wide. For the rest of his life, Braille taught his young flock to read both written and musical works using his code.

For the last 17 years of his life, Braille was ill with tuberculosis. He died at the age of 43.

47. What is the text mainly about?

A．Different reading methods.	B．Blind people around the world.
C．How blind people communicate.	D．Louis Braille and his six-dot code.

48. Louis Braille developed an alphabet for blind people after he __________.

A．worked as an organist	B．became blind as a young child
C．became a skilled musician in a church	D．was inspired by a captain’s messages

49. The underlined word “flock” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to “____________”.

A．soldiers	B．blind students
C．famous teachers	D．skilled musicians

50. The text is developed ______________.

A．in time order	B．in space order
C．by listing examples	D．by making comparisons

The death of languages is not a new phenomenon. Languages usually have a short life span（寿命）as well as a very high death rate. Only a few, including Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, Latin, have lasted more than 2,000 years.

What is new, however, is the speed at which they are dying out. Europe’s colonial rule caused a sharp decrease in languages, reducing at least 15 percent of all languages spoken at the time. Over the last 300 years, Europe has lost a dozen languages, and Australia has only 20 left of the 250 languages spoken at the end of the 18th century.

The rise of nation-states has also been decisive in selecting national languages. By making great efforts to establish an official language in education and the media, national governments have tried to reduce minority languages.

This process of language standardization（标准化）has been improved by industrialization and scientific progress, which have created new methods of communication that are fast, straightforward and practical. The various kinds of language came to be seen as an difficulty to trade and the spread of knowledge. Monolingualism （单一语言制）became an perfect choice.

More recently, the internationalization of financial markets, the spread of information by electronic media and other aspects of globalization have led to the danger to “small” languages. A language not on the Internet is a language that “no longer exists” in the modern world. It is out of the game.

The serious effects of the death of languages are clear. First of all, it is possible that if we ended up speaking the same language, our brains would lose some of their natural functions for language inventiveness. We would never be able to figure out the origins of human language or resolve the mystery of “the first language”. As each language dies, a chapter of human history closes.

Multilingualism （多语制）is the best reflection of multiculturalism. The destruction of the first will lead to the loss of the second. Creating a language without any links to a people’s culture and way of life stifles the expression of their language gift. A language is not only used as the main instrument of human communication. It also expresses the world view of those who speak it, as well as their ways of using knowledge. To safeguard languages is an urgent matter.

51. Which of the following does not contribute to the death of languages?

A．Colonial rule from Europe.

B．The rise of nation-states.

C．Advance in science and industrialization.

D．The increase of human population.

52. The underlined word “stifles” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.

A．cheers	B．kills
C．creates	D．improves

53. The serious effects of the death of languages include all except that ________.

A．people would fail to understand how languages started

B．monolingualism would lead to the loss of multiculturalism

C．the death of languages would become a difficulty to realize globalization

D．human brains would become less creative in languages

54. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

A．To draw people’s attention to the importance of language preservation.

B．To warn people of the negative results of globalization.

C．To explain the reasons why languages are dying out.

D．To argue how important it is for people to speak more languages.

This will enable you to sit down with your child and read, although you may also consider     59    （hire）a private, one-on-one English tutor（家庭教师）.

Many non-native speaking students take part in English as a Second Language（ESL）programs in their school. Some ESL programs have pull-out classes,     60     means that your child is pulled out of class for individual or group     61    （instruct）in English.

Success lies     64    （actual） in practice. Just encourage your kids to follow these tips and practise.

We often focus on building relationships with others but we forget the important first step: being friends of ourselves.     65    . How can we have good relationships with others if we don’t even have good relationships with ourselves?

The problem might be worse than we expect. Maybe we don’t like ourselves without realizing it. Here is a simple checklist: Is there anything you don’t like about yourself from these lists?

Your past: Maybe you have made mistakes in the past which you feel bad about.     66     . Even if that happened in the distant past, your mind still has a reason not to like yourself.

Your background: You might wish that you were born in a different family, or that you had different background.     67    . They seem to get whatever they want effortlessly because of their background.

Your personal characters: You might have some personality traits that you don’t like. For example, you may be an introvert（内向的人）and you don’t like it; you wish you were an extrovert. Others might have better achievements than you, and no matter how hard you tried, it might seem impossible for you to match them.     68    . Is there anything that resonates（产生共鸣）with you? All these give reasons to the idea that you don’t like yourself. That in turn makes it difficult for you to be a good friend to yourself.

    69    . Here are some tips:

Forgive yourself.

Accept things you can’t change.

Focus on your strengths.

Write your success stories.

Stop comparing yourself with others.

Always be true to yourself.

A．Sometimes you might not believe yourself

C．Fortunately, there are always things you can do to fix the situation

D．Maybe you could not accept the fact that you are not as lucky as others

E．You might be disappointed with yourself on why you made such mistakes

F．That is the crucial（至关重要的）first step if we are to have good relationships with others

G．You might then think that it’s because you are not smart enough or don’t have enough talents
