第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The year 3700， Earth is far too hot for any human to call it home． On this planet at least， man is nothing more than a memory - if there is anything left to remember the"wise man"． But what about our wisdom -will any of it survive us？
The conventional answer is no． Knowledge requires a knower， and there will be no knowing minds around then． But if information survives， perhaps in books or hard drives， maybe the knowledge isn't quite dead but dormant （休眠）， ready to become alive with the help of other minds that develop over time or come to visit Earth in the distant future．
At first sight， that seems to be reasonable： after all， we have done similar things with past knowledge． For example， we saved an ancient computer from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece， and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics（象形文字）． Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to life．
However， the key point is that there is a certain cultural continuity with those ancient times that allows us to reason and make progress in the dark： we know we are dealing with the legacy （遗赠） of other humans．
Without that link， the survival of objects and raw data doesn't guarantee the survival of knowledge．And a lack of continuity in language with any future intelligence would be a barrier． Knowledge is closely connected with language． When a language dies out， we can lose systems of reasoning that they contain． If that's lost， then it can't be recovered．
All this means that other minds might not be able to fully make human knowledge alive when we are gone． It is better to concentrate on not dying out in the first place．
1、What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1？ ______
A．To present an interesting idea．
B．To state a problem of the future．
C．To inform us of the earth in 3700．
D．To introduce the topic of the text．
2、What do the words"similar things"in Paragraph 3probably refer to？ ______
A．Developing the minds．
B．Remembering the wise man．
C．Making lost wisdom alive again．
D．Learning from the ancient civilization．
3、What plays the key part in getting cultural continuity according to the text？ ______
A．Language． B．Intelligence．
C．Knowledge． D．Information．
4、What can be the best title for the text？ ______
A．Can human beings live on？
B．Will our wisdom survive us？
C．How we can protect our culture
D．What the earth will be like in the future

When I first came to England, I know little English. As you can probably guess it, my life was difficulty for a time. Simple tasks like ordering food or take a taxi were quite stressful. I signed up for classes and studied on my own as well, so I made poor progress. I became very discouraging. Finally, I found best way to learn English was to make friends with native speakers and spend time with them. I appreciated playing in a band with an English woman which became one of my best friend in London. My English improved great by hanging out with her.
