You gave me a lot of advice over the next four years, like how I should get my ass to Berkeley where I belonged. Im still there, by the way. I wish you were still around, too. I remember your laugh, which would start with a rough guffaw(狂笑) and end with a hacking smokers cough that would make even the most rebellious (叛逆的) teenager decide to lay off the cigarettes. I remember the way you didnt lower your standards, yet still refused to give up on us. You were tough on us, and we were tough on you. Love is tough sometimes. The last time I wrote you a letter, it was 2005-four years after I graduated. I had just become a teacher, like you, and it had given me a new appreciation for the work you did with countless high school students over the years. Its hard to say what Ill miss the most about you. There are simply too many memories to sort through those four years, and it hurts to think youll never read this letter. I want to believe that you knew how much you meant to your family , your students, your community, and your colleagues, but that would be a lot of realization to handle, even for you. You changed the lives of everyone around you. Even now, you are reminding me to cherish life and its brevity and beauty, and to tell the people I love how much they mean to me before it is too late. Dear teacher, dear mentor, and dear friend-I miss you and all that is about you. God bless you in Heaven.w w w .x k b 1.c o m To infinity and beyond, Teresea25.

In fact，Manuel Segovia and Isidro Velazquez，both in their 70s，live within 500 yards of each other，in the village of Ayapa in the Southern Mexican State of Tabasco. They，however，refuse to communicate because they simply dont have much in common. Segovia is apparently a little flank in nature while Velazquez is described as shy.Segovia was at least able to talk in ZoqueAyapanece with his brother until he passed away about 12 years ago，and still manages to practice it with his family，especially his son Manuel，who for the last five years has been trying to learn it and hopes to become fluent enough to teach it to the next generation. Velazquez on the other hand，has not been heard speaking in the language with anybody.The two men say the language used to be widely spoken in the village，but the younger generation refused to learn it for fear of being laughed at，and it therefore began to die a slow death，as the elders passed away.Unless the two men get their acts together，the only way to hear the language will be to either listen to Manuels not-so-fluent statement or see them talk in a documentary entitled “Lengua Muerta” (Dead Language) that is being filmed to capture Zoque Ayapaneco and 364 other native Mexican languages that are in a similar state.We sure hope Segovia and Velazquez soon find something common to talk about. Maybe the fact is that the language is dying and that they should start encouraging and teaching the next generation together.29. What do we know about Zoque Ayapaneco?AIt was widely used twelve years ago. BIt is a Southern American language.CIt will be popular in Mexico in the near future.DIt will be dying out if no effective measures are taken.30. The reason why Segovia and Velazquez dont talk to each other is that _.Athey both are too shy Bthey have no similarity in their characterCthey are too familiar to talk Dthey live in different villages31. From the passage，we can conclude that_.Aaltogether 365 languages are becoming extinct in the world.BSegovia and Velazquez will communicate with each other soonCthe government cares a lot about the protection of Zoque AyapanecoDwe can hear the language from Manuel or documentary “ Lengua Muerta”32. Whats the main idea of the passage?AWorlds endangered languages are being filmed.BVillagers are trying to protect their old language.CAn endangered language is spoken by only two people.DThere are a lot of languages in Mexico.高二英语试卷 第5页（共10页）D. What should we do when we are in a bad situation? Some may choose to give up. But is that what we should do? The following news report may get you encouraged. With a population of 156 million, Bangladesh has one of the largest populations in the world. What makes the situation worse is that most of the country is situated on the low-lying Ganges delta(三角洲). As a result, it often suffers flooding, especially during the rainy season from July to October. In this period, the rivers rise as much as 12 feet. In such situations, people can only get to certain places by boat. The problems are particularly serious in the Chalanbeel region, a poor area where people survive by farming on the rich delta soil when it is not underwater. But many parents there dont want to send their children to school and there are not enough teachers. As a result, many kids living there do not attend school on a regular basis. The problem becomes worse during the rainy season when land schools cannot be reached. Many students never return to school after the forced breaks. How to help students attend school regularly? 22-year-old Bangladeshi architect Mohammed Rezwan decided to take action. In 2002, the young man used $500 he had received in scholarships to start Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha. The non-profit organizations mission was to set up floating schools. It took Rezwan four years to raise enough funds to open his first boat school. But as the world began to know about the organizations worthy cause, money started to pour in. Until now, Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha has built 22 floating schools, some with playgrounds on the upper deck. Now a lot more children in the Chalanbeel region go to school regularly. We should keep in mind that there is always a solution to every problem. 33. Which of the following statements about Bangladesh is TRUE? A. It hardly suffers floods after October. B. There are not many rivers around the country. C. It is situated on the low-lying Ganges delta. D. It sees a lot of floods from July to October. 34.

Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.Take care of yourself 39 If you easily get angry and cant sleep well enough, or if youre not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor. 40 Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that theres so much to do, and not enough time. Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything.
