21．（6分） Experts say there are about 6，500 languages spoken throughout the world.But the United Nations estimates that about half of these languages are in danger of disappearing.
One non-profit organization seeking to save world languages is a New York-based group called Wikitongues.Officials from Wikitongues say the organization has a simple goal:to provide the tools and support that people need to save their languages.
Udell is the co-founder of Wikitongues.He said when a language disappears，many other things can go away as well.For example，parts of a community’s culture，knowledge and identity can also be lost.Because of this.Udell believes the process of bringing languages back must be done by community members themselves，“from the ground up，”he said.
“There is no way an outside organization can save someone’s language for them.”
Wikitongues was launched in 2016 as an open internet collection of world languages.The self-described“community”is operated by volunteers from around the world.The collection is in the form of language videos that people add to the Wikitongues website.
There are currently more than 400 languages and dialects represented on Wikitongues’YouTube channel.Udell says more than 1,500 people from 70 different countries have added videos to the system.
“We have people from India who record dozens of languages，which is beyond their own.”he said.
One of Wikitongues’volunteers is Kolokwe，who lives in Namibia.His native language is Subiya，however，he does not get the chance to speak his native language every day.Like many other educated people from his area，he speaks a lot of English and Afrikaans.
Kolokwe is hoping his involvement with Wikitongues call help keep Subiya and other African languages from going extinct.He wants the world to know about his language.But his goal goes beyond just sharing his language with others through video.He is also working to create a dictionary and language teaching materials that can be used in schools.
1、What is tile result of languages disappearing?

D．The community becomes more independent.
2、Which of the following is true of Wikitongues?
A．It was founded by the United Nations.
B．Officials from it want to make money.
C．It contributes to saving languages.
D．1500 languages are uploaded on its website.
3、Why is Kolokwe involved in volunteering?
A．He has no chance to speak his native language.
B．He dislikes speaking English and Afrikaans.
C．He wants to stop his native language dying out.
D．He hopes to teach his language in school himself.
4、What can we infer from the opinion of Udell?
A．The majority of languages have been saved.
B．Wikitongues can save languages disappearing.
C．Internet plays a more important part than volunteers.
D．Only community members can save their own languages.
22．（8分） When was the last time you told someone they inspire you to go to work each morning?
Teachers at Oak Park High School in Kansas City, Missouri, did just that this September, when they pulled individual students out of class to tell them just how much they appreciated them.
The students’ reactions, which were captured (捕捉) on video and shared on YouTube in a now-viral video, ranged from shy thanks to hugs and tears.
“I have been challenged to find a student who makes me want to come to school every day,” says one teacher in the video, “and that’s you.”
Jamie McSparin, a teacher in charge of the school’s academy program for at-risk sophomores （二年级学生）and juniors, posed the challenge, writes ABC News.
“Initially when we pulled the kids out, they all thought they were in trouble,” McSparin told ABC News. “Any teacher-student interaction always seems to be negative (消极的), and that was something that bothered me, too. No matter if they’re a good kid or a trouble maker or anything, they always thought they were in trouble,” she says.
McSparin says she got the idea for the project after attending a professional development workshop this summer called the power of positivity.
“I like the idea of letting students know they are appreciated, because we do appreciate them, I just don’t think we say it enough,” she told local news outlet WDAF-TV.
It’s safe to say the challenge was effective.
“I feel special,” said one of the boys in the video. “You should,” said his teacher. “You are special.”
1、What does the underlined word “posed” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Presented. B．Rejected.
C．Ignored. D．Evaluated.
2、How did the students probably feel when pulled out of the classroom at first?
A．Nervous. B．Thrilled.
C．Curious. D．Encouraged.
3、What inspired McSparin to challenge the project?
A．The trouble caused by students.
B．The need of shooting the video.
C．A seminar named the power of positivity.
D．A program related to students’ interactions.
4、What message does this text mainly convey?
A．Challenge is unavoidable in life.
B．Everyone needs to be appreciated.
C．Positivity outweighs negativity.
D．News media contribute to students’ progress.
23．（8分）Tracking Shots: This Week in Film
The Incomparable Rose Hartman
Quad Cinema
Saturday to Sunday
It is a gorgeously shot, sharply edited portrait of photographer Hartman, who in the 1970s and 1980s haunted Studio 54. Hartman made a career of capturing fashion designers, models, musicians, and movie stars in half-guarded moments, somewhere between unaware and aping for the lens.
Churchill
Angelika Film Center
Monday to Tuesday
Twentieth century’s most awesome leader, a man whose history includes two world wars! But what happens when the story being told feels emotionally false and factually bogus? Churchill, a new drama starring the great Brian Cox, is so full of movie cliches that it’s sometimes hard not to giggle—and oneshould never laugh at the prime minister.
Handsome Devil
Cinema Village
Thursday to Friday
The Ireland of the teen film Handsome Devil is a place where young boys are encouraged to do only one thing: play rugby. If rugby isn’t your thing, or if you dig things that aren’t rugby-related, you’re immediately dismissed as gay. That’s unfortunately the case for the main character—ginger-haired Ned. Indeed, it’s more like a coming of age film than a comedy.
Past Life
Landmark Sunshine
Wednesday
Although Past Life is based on real events, Avi Nesher’s latest film plays unapologetically like melodrama(情节剧)—a bit too much at times. Its insistence that guilt-ridden Baruch Milch can recite to his daughters, more than thirty years later, every single word he wrote in a notebook while hiding from the Nazis in Poland during World War II strains credulity.
1、Which film may interest people who like taking pictures?
A．Churchill
B．Past Life
C．Handsome Devil
D．The Incomparable Rose Hartman
2、Where can the audience go to enjoy a comedy this week?
A．Quad Cinema
B．Angelika Film Center
C．Cinema Village
D．Landmark Sunshine
3、What do we know about the film Past life?
A．It is fictional.
B．It was shown on weekend.
C．Avi Nesher was the main character.
D．It was concerned with the life of Jewish.

25．（10分）Scientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the UK newspaper.
The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University, Japan and American company Johnson conducted the study together. They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail in Ishikawa District, northern Japan. They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan's Okinawa District.
They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas.
The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological (气象的) Agency. According to the agency, the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent, compared to 80 percent in the new snow areas. The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.
Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. That's why we wear sunscreen on our skin before we get out in the sun. But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.
If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye, which is harmful. Your eyes will become red and feel a strange feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.
Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness.
