However, we do know a lot about languages, the language of today and all the languages of earlier times. There are probably about three thousand languages in the world today. Chinese is spoken by the largest number of people. English, Russian and Spanish are also spoken by millions of people. On the other hand, some languages in the world have less than one hundred speakers.There are several important families of languages in the world. For example, most of the languages of Europe are in one large family called Indo-European. The original language of tis family was spoken about4. 500 years ago. Many of the present-day languages of Europe and India are modem forms of the language of 4, 500 years ago.Languages are always changing. The English of today is very different from the English of 500 years ago. In time, some even die out completely. About 1, 000 years ago, English was a little known relative of German spoken on one of the borders of Europe.If a language has a number of speakers, or if it is very old, there may be differences in the way it is spoken in different areas. That is, the language may have several dialects. Chinese is a good example of dialects differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of people.

Would you pay thousands of dollars for a painting with a face so unclearthat you're not even sure it's a face? Or a picture by unknown artist? Whatif the artist was a computer?A piece of artwork created mainly by a computer programme has been sold at the price ＄432,500 ﹣about ten times more than people expected. This painting, named Edmond de Belamy, was created by artificial intelligence （AI）（人工智能）. This means the computer now doesn't just follow us, but makes some decisions and "thinks itself".15, 000 real paintings were used by some French students to train the computerprogramme with two parts. One part tries to create paintings that look real, while the other part decides if it is good. If the painting doesn't look real enough, the first part will change its decisions until it comes up with a better work.This is not the first AI artwork, just the first piece on sale. In fact, many people are not impressed with the painting. "The work isn't interesting or creative, " says Robbie Barrat, who helped create the painting but doesn't like the idea of selling it. He thinks it's too simple and gives a bad idea of what real AI artists are doing. He adds that he created many pictures like it much earlier.In some other people's opinion, however, AI art is already very unusual. They hope it will be more common in the future.Still, people who look down upon AI art shouldn't worry. Just as an AI artist, Theo Triantafyllidis says, he usually thinks of AI as a tool and not the artist. Even the best AI today is somewhere between a stupid child and a smart pet.

You will find the answers immediately after each question.Passage:In an age where technology seems to be taking over every aspect of our lives, there remains one activity that has not been overshadowed by digital advancements: reading traditional books. Despite the popularity of e-books andaudiobooks, many people still prefer the tactile experience of holding a physical book and turning its pages. This preference for traditional books is not only due to nostalgia but also because of the unique benefits they offer.A recent study conducted by the National Reading Agency found that individuals who read physical books tend to have a better memory of the content compared to those who read the same material on digital devices. Furthermore, there is a growing concern about the impact of screen time on sleep patterns, with research suggesting that reading from screens before bedtime can negatively affect the quality of sleep. Physical books, on the other hand, do not emit blue light which can disrupt melatonin production, thus helping readers get a good night’s rest.Moreover, libraries and bookstores continue to thrive as communal spaces where people gather to share ideas and engage in discussions about literature. The atmosphere in these places fosters a sense of community and a love for reading that cannot be replicated online. While digital media offers convenience and access to a vast amount of information, it does not replace the unique experience of visiting a library or bookstore.In conclusion, while technology offers many conveniences, the tradition of reading physical books remains strong. It provides a way to disconnect from the digital world, improve memory retention, and foster social connections within communities.End of PassageQuestions:1、According to the passage, what is one benefit of reading physical books over digital devices?Answer: Better memory retention of the content.2、What potential negative effect on health is associated with reading from screens before bedtime?Answer: Disruption of sleep quality due to blue light affecting melatonin production.3、How do libraries and bookstores contribute to community life according to the text?Answer: They serve as communal spaces where people gather to share ideas and engage in discussions about literature.4、What does the passage suggest about the future of physical books despite technological advances?Answer: Physical books will remain significant as they offer ways to disconnect, improve memory, and foster social connections.四、阅读第二节（12.5分）Title: The Art of MeditationReading Passage:Meditation has been a part of human culture for thousands of years, serving as a means for relaxation, stress reduction, and spiritual growth.

When I arrived to collect, sanding on the side way was a small woman in her 80s with a big suitcase.After I helped her into the taxi she gave me an address and asked, “Could you drive through downtown?” “It is not the shortest way,” I answered quickly. “I don’t mind,” She said, “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终安养院).” I looked in the rear-view mirror (后视镜). Her eyes were wet. I quietly reached over and shut off he meter (计价器). “What route would you like me to take?” I asked.For the next two hours, we drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newly married. She had me stop in front of a shabby house, where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she asked me to slow in front of a particular building and sat staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At last, she said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”We drove in silence to the destination. It was a grey low building.“How much do I owe you?” She asked, reaching into her purse. “Nothing,” I said. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held on to me tightly and whispered a “Thank you”. I squeezed her hand and walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life.I didn’t pick up any more passengers, but drove aimlessly, lost in thought. What if that woman had come across an impatient driver? What if I had refused to drive through downtown? Great moments often catch us unaware, beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.4．What caused the author to shut off the meter?A．His distrust of the fare.B．His pity for the woman.C．The breakdown of the meter.D．The cold weather at midnight. 5．What was the aim of the women’s ride downtown?A．To find a place to settle down.B．To reach the destination on time.C．To kill time before the hospice opened.D．To see the city for last time.6．What can we learn from the story?A．Giving is always a pleasure.B．People should respect elderly people.C．A small act of kindness brings people great joy.D．Strangers are family you haven’t known yet.7．Which of the following describe the author best?A．Positive and energetic.B．Helping and humorous.C．Sensitive and patient.D．Kind-hearted but demanding. 8．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．A taxi ride I will never forgetB．My strange driving experienceC．The ending of an old woman’s lifeD．An old woman passenger and her lifeThere is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and a daughter is sometimes confusing. The relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy (等级) of responsibilities and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, said, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friend: don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common, which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not anequal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t care deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well-being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mothers always “trump (胜过)” friends.9．What does the underlined word “preclude” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A．differ B．prevent C．benefit D．change 10．What do we know from the text?A．The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B．A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C．The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.D．Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.11．How does the author mainly prove his statements?A．By listing data.B．By giving explanations.C．By quoting sayings.D．By giving examples.12．What is the best title for the text?A．How to Be a Good Mother and Daughter?B．Who Is a Mother’s Best Friend?C．Mothers or Friends?D．Can a Mother Be a Daughter’s Best Friend?二、七选五Tips for Discussing Current Events with ChildrenOften the news children see and hear can be confusing and alarming. Maybe you don’t let your child read or watch the news. 13 With some preparation, you can help your child to understand and react calmly to news and current events.The first thing to keep in mind is to find out what your child already knows. Your child may have already heard about an event but lack context for an understanding of the details. Ask your child questions about what news topics are being discussed in school or what stories they recently saw in the newspaper or on TV. 14Another way you can help your child understand the news is to seek out child-appropriate news sources. Explain to your child the importance of getting news from reliable sources. There are multiple well-regarded websites that have news stories for younger children. 15 Try to watch or read the news together and encourage your child to ask questions if they see something confusing.16 If a news story upsets you, it is okay to tell your child this, showing children that having strong feelings about world events is healthy. However, you shouldn’t try to force your child to feel the same way as you. Encourage your child to read or watch the news critically and draw their own conclusions.All in all, by talking with your child about current events, you can help your child to feel more confident in their understanding of the world. 17A．Finally, be careful not to upset your child.B．Besides, be honest with your child about your feelings.C．But they can hear about events from other children at school.D．This is not likely to be an attractive option for older children.E．Then you can help them fill in gaps in their understanding of events.F．You can also help them become a better and more informed global citizen.G．Older children may want to read the same news sources that you read or watch.三、完形填空It might sound a bit old-fashioned, but there’s something unique about handwrittenso started a correspondence(通信)that 27 for several years.Then out of the blue, he passed away.

Note that there is one word more than you need.Who doesn’t love to look at pictures of kittens, puppies and babies? Japan is known as a country filled with cute, fancy products, such as Hello Kitty. The word “kawaii”, the Japanese ___41____ of cute, is now internationally recognized.We all know that cute things make us happy, but we know little about how they influence our behavior.Recently, however, a team of Japanese researchers claimed that looking at those cute pictures __42__ our concentration. As part of the study, researchers from Hiroshima University conducted two _43___ experiments before concluding that people showed higher level of concentration after looking at pictures of puppies or kittens. About 130 university students were divided into three groups, each _44___ a different task. The first was a game in which participants had to carefully pick up small objects from a hole without touching its sides. Another task was purely about numbers. Students were asked to find a given number from a random sequence of numbers within a certain time limit.In the game experiment, participants who were shown images of puppies and kittens performed their task _45___ to those who looked at adult cats and dogs. Performances scores improved by 44 percent, but the time it took to complete the task also increased by 12 percent.“This finding suggests viewing cute images makes participants behave more _46___ and perform tasks with greater time and care,” said the researchers.Similar enhancements in performance were seen in the numbers experiment, suggesting that looking at cute images increases attentiveness. Participants that were shown kittens and puppies were more __47__, improving their scores by about 16 percent. They were also faster, increasing the number of random numerical sequences they got through by about 13 percent.The study’s authors wrote that cute objects could be used as a way to arouse _48___ that give rise to careful behavioral tendencies in specific situations, such as driving and office work.”So, if anyone __49___ when he sees giant, pink Hello Kitty doll on your office desk, just show them this report.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A (15%)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Everyone hates to wait in lines. We get that exhausting feeling that our precious life is _50___ away while we’re doing something so meaningless. But it’s not always the length of the wait we find so unbearable. Our behavior when waiting is only partly defined by the length of the wait. Often the psychology of queuing is more important than the statistics of the wait itself. One apparent aspect of queuing psychology is that we get bored when we wait in line. This issue is __51___ in many ways, from magazines in hospital waiting rooms to the __52___ in elevators so that we can __53__ our appearance. We really hate it when we expect a short wait and then get a long one. But studies show that we are much more ___54__ when we are given an idea of how long we’ll be waiting. Walt Disney Co knows this __55___ than anyone else. It posts estimated waiting times for attractions in its theme parks. But according to Larson, these times are __56___ so that visitors get to the front of the queue more quickly than they expect. It keeps them happy.But perhaps the biggest influence on our feelings about waiting in a line has to do with our understanding of fairness. When it comes to queues, the universally acknowledged standard is first come, first _57____. Any deviation（偏差）from this _58___ is regarded as unfair and can lead to violent queue intense anger. A simple __59___ on Baidu news with the keywords “cutting in line”and “fight” throws up dozens of headlines in the past year. Queue anger is not __60___ in Western countries either.Sometimes, however, we are willing to make exception. In hospitals, __61___ is given to those with a more critical condition---we can also understand that. But in most situations, we demand fairness. You’ve probably experienced mild queue anger yourself in fast food restaurants, watching people in the other line move ahead of you, _62_ yourself for having chosen the “wrong” line.In order to solve this problem, the winding line was invented. Slate magazine’s website explains:“The winding line groups all customers into one big snaking queue, separated by ropes or barriers. When you reach the head of the queue, you are directed to the next __63__ server, or teller, or customs official, which offers important comfort: you _64__ never have to see someone arrive after you and get served before you.”In life, waiting is inevitable. But a better understanding of the psychology of waiting can help make it a bit more bearable. When all else fails, bring a book or a smart-phone will also do.50.

A. possibly B. absolutely C. actually D. reallySection B (22%)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy --- who could not have been more than seven or eight years old ---replied, “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different. Children as they once were no longer exists. Why?Human development is based not only on innate biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social route to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information indiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.65. According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.A. a sure sign of a psychological problem in children’s mental developmentB. something rarely expected in children’s mental developmentC. an inevitable thing in children’s mental developmentD. something usually experienced in children’s mental development66. What does the underlined word innate in Paragraph 4 mean ?A. something a person is born withB. something a person is tired ofC. something a person is expected ofD. something a person is dreaming of67. What of the following statement is NOT true according to the last paragraph?A. Communication through print helps children develop their reading skills.B. Communication through print helps children access more social information.C. Communication through print helps children command a complex code of symbols.D. Communication through print helps children read different materials at random.68. What is the attitude of the author about today’s children?A. He feels shocked by their premature behavior.B. He thinks it is a phenomenon unworthy of note.C. He considers it a positive social development.D. He seems to be concerned about the tendency.(B)One of the major functions of an iPhone is, of course, to play music. The iTunes app has been designed in such a way as to take advantage of the iPhone’s touch screen. But what if you want to listen to music that isn’t in your iTunes library, or you want to discover new music without sitting in front of a computer?There are plenty of ways to access music, but not everyone knows what options are available. Either that, or there are so many options that going through all of them is tiring. For these reasons, here we offer a few convenient ways of listening to music on your iPhone without using iTunes.●Stream some radio (Tuneln Radio)Tuneln Radio provides a quick and easy way to listen to thousands of Internet radio stations on your Apple products. In addition to local radio stations, this app compiles more than 40,000 radio stations from around the country. What makes the app special is that it allows you to pause and rewind live radio---pause your station to take a phone call or rewind to replay a favorite song. You can also browse by genre or location, and the app includes plenty of talks, news, sports and weather stations in addition to music.●From desktop to smartphone (QQ Music)QQ Music seems like the obvious choice, and it is. It’s a streaming service based on the Tencent technology that is already wildly popular on the Internet and now also offers a (free) app. Through this app you can listen to existing playlists or create new ones based on the patterns of music you like. It works amazingly well and everything can be saved to your QQ account for access from a computer.●What was that song? (Shazam)Shazam is an innovative and free app that cures your “What was that song?” problem. It happens to all of us: we hear a song (on TV or in a store), love it, know we have heard it before but just can’t remember what it’s called. With Shazam you don’t need to. Just hold your iPhone up and through its microphone, Shazam will identify the album, artist and song title for you. You can then either purchase the song in iTunes or search it on other apps for streaming. How cool is that?69. All of the options are strongly recommended to the users of ___________.A. iTunesB. iPhonesC. computersD. microphones70. If you are to enjoy the freedom to go backward or make a phone call without missing anythingyou are listening, you can turn to ______.A. Tuneln RadioB. iTunesC. ShazamD. QQ Music71. What is possibly the best title for the passage ?A. Beyond the MusicB. Streaming Service of MusicC. Get easier accesses to musicD. Get Familiar to Each Song(C)Petroleum, consisting of crude oil（原油）and natural gas, seems to originate from organic matter in marine sediment（海洋沉淀物）.Tiny organisms settle to the seafloor and gather in marine mud. The organic matter may partially break down, using up the dissolved oxygen in the sediment. As soon as the oxygen is gone, decay stops and the remaining organic matter is preserved.Continued sedimentation buries the organic matter and subjects it to higher temperatures and pressures, which change the organic matter to oil and gas. As muddy sediments are pressed together, the gas and small drops of oil may be squeezed out of the mud and may move into sandy layers nearby. Over millions of years, accumulations of gas and oil can collect in the sandy layers. Both oil and gas are less dense than water, so they generally tend to rise upward through rock and sediment.Oil pools are valuable underground accumulations of oil, and oil fields are regions underlain by one or more oil pools. When an oil pool or field is discovered, wells are drilled into the ground. When the well reaches a pool, oil usually rises up the well because of its density difference（密度差）with water beneath it or because of the pressure of expanding gas trapped above it. Although this rise of oil is almost always carefully controlled today, strong natural flows of oil were common in the past. Gas pressure gradually dies out, and oil is pumped from the well. Water or steam may be pumped down neighboring wells to help push the oil out.As oil becomes increasingly difficult to find, the search for it is extended into more unfriendly environments. The development of the oil field on the North Slope of Alaska and the construction of the Alaska pipeline are examples of the great expense and difficulty involved in new oil discoveries. Offshore drilling platforms extend the search for oil to the ocean’s continental shelves. More than one-quarte r of the world’s oil and almost one-fifth of the world’s natural gas come from offshore, even though offshore drilling is six to seven times more expensive than drilling on land.Of course, there is far more oil underground than can be recovered. Even given the best exploration techniques, only about 30 to 40 percent of the oil in a given pool can be brought to the surface. The rest is far too difficult to reach and has to remain underground.72. Which of the following is true about petroleum formation?A. Microscopic organisms that live in mud produce crude oil and natural gas.B. Large amounts of oxygen are needed for petroleum formation to begin.C. Petroleum is formed when organic material in sediments combines with decayingorganisms.D. Petroleum formation appears to begin in marine sediments where organic matter exists.73. What does the development of the Alaskan oil field mentioned illustrate?A. More petroleum is extracted from the sea than from land.B. Drilling for oil requires huge financial investments.C. The global demand for oil has been increasing over the years.D. The North Slope of Alaska has substantial amounts of oil.74. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the passage?A. The formation, process and exploration of petroleumB. The specific techniques involved in oil exploration.C. The changing relationships between countries.D. The future intense situation in oil product markets.75. What can we infer from the passage?A. Available exploration techniques serve our purpose of exploring oil very well.B. More and more public regions will be further protected from being drilled in the future.C. Countries may suffer from unpleasant relationships for respective benefits in exploring oil.D. Powerful flows of oil is a phenomenon which can be witnessed rarely now.Section C (5%)Directions: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76. ____________Every year on December 25, families across the UK gather in front of their TV set at precisely 3 pm. Not to watch a televised gala, but to hear the comforting voice of Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II as she delivers her annual Christmas broadcast to the UK and the Commonwealth. Listening to the speech has become a fixed Christmas routine for millions of people across globe.77. ____________Since 1932 it has been a tradition for the British monarch to address his/her subjects in a short message broadcast across the UK by radio every year on Christmas Day. In it, the monarch reflects on the major global national and personal issues of the past year and represents the spirit of Christmas by appealing for a harmonious society.78. ____________This element of unity was of particular importance when World War II broke out in 1939. according to the official website of the British Monarchy, that year King George VI said: “A new year is at hand. We cannot tell what it will bring. If it brings peace, how thankful we shall all be. If it brings us continued struggle we shall remain fearless.” At a time of uncertainty and hardship, these words were a source of encouragement and played a large role in boosting confidence.79. ____________Queen Elizabeth II delivered her first Christmas Day Message in 1952 at the age of 26.Last year, she recorded her 61st speech. Over the decades, the Queen has experienced much technological progress---in 1957 she presented the first Christmas speech on live TV, in 2007 it was streamed on YouTube, and last year it was broadcast in 3-D to mark the Diamond Jubliee.80. ____________But far from being a message that is prepared by governmental advisers, it is a personal message written by the Queen herself. Thus, it is one of the rare occasions on which the public can hear of their queen’s personal views, experiences and concerns. It is also an opportunity for the Queen to speak directly to her subjects, including the men and women fighting for the country. The Christmas broadcast is much more than just a televised speech, it is a symbol of unity.Section D (8%)Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than 10 words.If your resolutions for the new year are typical, they probably include a determination to lose weight. But if you are like most Americans, any success you have losing pounds will be short-lived, and you’ll end the year weighing more than you do right now.So why are Americans obsessed with weight loss? Many people say they want to lose weight to improve their health, but this may not actually be their primary motivation. In one of the more interesting polls （民意测验）I’ve seen, more than three-fourths of the 231 dieters surveyed said that they would take a pill that would guarantee they would achieve or maintain their desired weight even if it would lowers their life expectancy. On average, they were willing to give up 5.7 years.These findings may seem puzzling, but they are not so surprising when you consider weight-loss attempts for what they really are: efforts to protect against weight-based discrimination. Yale researchers have shown that weight discrimination in the US has increased dramatically in the last decade especially among women. Multiple studies have documented weight bias in employment, healthcare, education and public spaces---unequal treatment based on labeling fat people as lazy, unmotivated, and lacking self-discipline and competence. Heavy women are routinely ridiculed in advertisements, television and film.Of course, there are genuine health risks associated with higher body mass. The clearest case is that of Type 2 diabetes, which becomes more likely as weight goes up. Yet as many medical researchers have pointed out, this association may not be causal. It has become increasingly clear that the link between weight and health is complicated. In some cases, higher body mass seems to protect against death rate. For instance, there is growing evidence documenting an “obesity paradox（肥胖矛盾）”, in which elevated body mass is associated with lower death rate among people with heart disease and among those with Type 2 diabetes. But it is clear that anti-fat bias in and of itself has a serious effect on public health in ways many may not suspect. Fear of ridicule leads many heavier women to avoid exercising in public or even---when they are very heavy---to avoid leaving their homes, depriving themselves of social interaction. And the fear of becoming fat can lead women of all sizes to develop eating disorders that can diminish their lives and be dangerous to their health. What should be done about weight-based discrimination? The answer is to call for increasing tolerance and appreciation of different body types.。
