17、oing. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers , small tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 1200 languages be
18、tween them. Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially
19、globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over. At present, the world has about 6800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven
20、. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1000; Africa 2400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3200, of which Papua New Guine
21、a alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that. Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at
22、 random, Busum in Cameroon (eight remaining Speaker), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark) none of these seems to have much chance of survival.24.

Human development results in fewer languages. D. Geography determines language evolution.CWhat is success?
25、 I am not going to try to explain success. I think a precise meaning is impossible! Is it winning a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games or winning Wimbledon, or being awarded a Nobel Prize? What else? I believe personal success could be anything at all- it does not have to involve public recognition. Wh
26、o is more successful? A millionaire who is unhappy, or an unnoticed person, who has led a simple, quiet, sincere and happy life? The simplest definition of success, I think, is “to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it.The first step on the road to success starts with belief. Believe yo
27、u can succeed and you will. Achieving success in whatever endeavor(努力)you choose may be the goal of life; because it gives you freedom from worry. Could that be?Success means different things to every one of us. Some people believe it is measured in financial terms; others believe it is helping othe
28、rs rather than helping themselves. However, most people are motivated to a great extent by public recognition. How many people are really happy? How many people are really doing what they want to with their lives? Incidentally, to imagine makes us different from animals.Most important of all, I beli
29、eve success is a matter of personal growth. If every day you are developing or growing just a millimeter, I believe one is successful. Just being a slightly better person each day for me is success. Ive got a very long way to go them!Finally, always remember success is a process and is not simply a
30、matter of arriving at a destination. Its the journey that really matters. Success is what you become in the often very difficult and dangerous journey down the river of life.28.What is personal success according to the author?A. Winning public recognitionB. Being an unhappy millionaireC. Something i

A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and sponsors. Young sailors also attrac
33、t various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to cancel her voyage, yet the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned. It seemed there is confusion about the competence and independence of young people.The popular psychologists tell us that
34、 teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals. Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers vary greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussion with
35、 the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable of childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters.But its also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can desi
36、re to get achievements as unusual as Jessica Watsons. Watson calls herself “an ordinary girl who had a dream”. Her intention is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such
37、 dreams? Actually, individuals face varying circumstances that restrict their dreams.Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (事先形成的) views about young people. Nor should young “ordinary” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fac
38、t, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses individualism. The teenage years are when most of us “ordinary” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others.32. What can we learn about Jessica Watson?A. She was criticized by the government.B. She eventually canceled
39、 her voyage.C. She has traveled around the world.D. She made a successful voyage.33 What can be inferred about teenagers from the text?A. They have similar abilities.B. They make decisions on their own.C. They always make wrong judgments.D. They need supports of responsible adults.34. Who does the u

42、esman, and youre scared of talking to people personally or over the phone now, instead of being scared and thinking youll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. 37 But dont stop on the first try!
