    The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. This is because the culture systems are two ______ systems on the whole.
    The ______ of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are gestated（孕育） by rivers. In China, the mother river is the Yellow River _____ the Indian one is the Hindu River. These two cultures were developed for several thousand years and formed their own _____. Then in Dang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture _____ went overseas to Japan, _____ into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same ______.
    When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture, another famous culture was ______ on the Mesopotamian Plain ---- the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known ______ the base of the European culture. Like the Chinese culture, the European one also ______ waters. When the colonists of England _____ in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't _______ from the European one a lot.
    At the same time, the difference of the language systems _______ the cultural differences. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language (see the picture below) while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system, for example, the one I’m using to write this paper.
    Other factors like human race difference counts as well. But what’s more, ______ the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no ______ from the other.

    The world’s native languages are dying out at an unprecedented(空前的) rate, taking with them irreplaceable(不能替代的) knowledge about the natural world, according to a new study.
    The study identified five global “hot spots” where languages are vanishing faster than anywhere else ---- eastern Siberia, northern Australia, central South America, the US state of Oklahoma and the US Pacific Northwest. “Languages are suffering a global extinction crisis that greatly goes beyond the pace of species extinction,” linguistics(语言学的) professor David Harrison noted, who said half of the world’s 7,000 languages were expected to disappear before the end of the century.
    Native people had an intimate(详尽的) knowledge of their environment that was lost when their language disappeared, along with other certain things often unfamiliar to us, Harrison stressed. “Most of what we know about species and ecosystems is not written down anywhere, it’s only in people’s heads,” he said. “We are seeing in front of our eyes the loss of the human knowledge base.”
    Harrison was one of a team of linguists who carried out the study. The researchers traveled to Australia this year to study native languages, some of the most endangered. According to Harrison, in Australia, they were heartened to see a woman in her 80s who was one of the only three remaining speakers of the Yawuru language passing on her knowledge to schoolchildren. He said such inter-generational exchanges were the only way native languages could survive. “The children had elected to take this course, no one forced them,” he said. “When we asked them why they were learning it, they said,‘This is a dying language, we need to learn it’.” Also, while there they found a man with knowledge of the  Amurdag  language, which had previously been thought extinct.
    The researchers said all five of the hot spots identified were areas that had been successfully colonized and where a dominant language such as Spanish or English was threatening native tongues.
    小题1:What does this text mainly talk about?
    A．A study on native languages endangered.
    B．The knowledge of native languages.
    C．People’s efforts in saving native languages.
    D．Harrison and his study on languages.
    小题2:The underlined word“vanishing”in the second paragraph can be best replaced by        .
    A．developingB．changingC．increasingD．Disappearing
    小题3:According to Harrison, language extinction        .
    A．causes the researchers lots of worries
    B．speeds up the pace of species extinction
    C．threatens the existing of Spanish and English
    D．brings about a loss of knowledge about the environment
    小题4:Which of the following can be described as good news?
    A．Native languages became less endangered in Australia.
    B．A man was found with knowledge of the Amurdag language.
    C．Researchers were well received by native people in Australia.
    D．Many schoolchildren showed interest in the Yawuru language.

    Anyone for kimchi(韩国泡菜)？ Around 2,000 women made the traditional dish last week in Seoul, the capital of the Republic of Korea(ROK).
    More than 270 tons of kimchi were produced and handed out to needy neighbours.
    In the ROK, kimchi is more than a dish to be eaten with every meal, even though Koreans are said to eat about 40 pounds(around 18kg) of kimchi per person each year.
    According to Korean.net, the country’s official multilingual website, kimchi represents
    “the spirit” of the Koreans.

    Kimchi is used in everything from soups to pancakes and as a topping (配料) on pizza and burgers.
    Health.com named kimchi in its list of the world’s top five healthiest foods as it is rich in vitamins, aids digestion and may even reduce the risk of cancer.
    A study conducted by Seoul National University claimed that chickens infected with the H5N1 virus (bird flu) recovered after eating food containing the same bacteria found in kimchi.

    Although in the 17th century in the United States fine art and folk art had similar qualities, a difference between them began to appear as time went on in the 18th and 19th centuries artists with ambition studied abroad and came back to paint portraits(肖像) of upper-class families in American society. The less ambitious or less fortunate artists traveled around their own areas and created pictures of countryside society. Anyway, artists got trained and those simple creations improved a lot.
    Around 1930，folk art began to take on a new meaning and was considered as an expression of a small cultural class. Folk art is never the product of art movements, but comes out of craft traditions. This art is based not on measurements or calculations and rarely goes with the standards of realism. It goes straight to the bases of art which the folk artists feel naturally.
    The period 1930~ 1960 was the time when folk artists began to receive recognition. They often began their art careers late in life and used art as an outlet（出口） for their energy. Their materials were cheap and simple, their subjects were different, but their creativity flowed. Doing their own things became the norm（标准）, and was what made folk art so desirable.
    Although it is hard to define folk art, one thing is certain --- it touches us in a special way because the artists show us how he or she brought beauty into their everyday life. Since folk artists come from all walks of life, each piece of art created is one of a kind, emphasizing color, simplicity of line and brave, simple form. Most importantly, it exemplifies（作为…的例子） the history of American life.
    小题1:What similar qualities did folk art and fine art probably have in the 17th century?
    A．They were both simple creations.
    B．The artists of both focused on family life.
    C．The artists of both came from the lower class.
    D．They were both gifted creations by trained artists.
    小题2: What was folk art around 1930 based on according to the second paragraph?
    A．The traditions of the upper class.
    B．The progress of art in that period.

    D．The feelings of the artists.
    小题3:Which of the following statements can be used to describe the works of folk artists?
    A．They are difficult to understand.
    B．They help artists let out their energy.
    C．They show pictures of unreal life.
    D．They are similar to one another.
    小题4:Why did folk art become popular during the period from 1930 to 1960?
    A．It offered artists the freedom of expression.
    B．Artists didn’t need to spend much on materials.
    C．Other kinds of art couldn’t express the beauty of life.
    D．Artists could express their dissatisfaction towards society.
    小题5:The author’s purpose in writing the text is to ___________.

    B．compare folk art and fine art
    C．explain the history and characteristics of folk art in America

    The island of Great Britain being small (compare the size of Australia), the natural place for holiday relaxation and enjoyment is extensive coastline, above all its southern and eastern coasts, and the favorite resort of the mass-population of industrial Lancashire, is on the north-west coast. Distant and little-inhabited area like Northern Scotland, are too remote for the development of large seaside resorts.
    For most children, going to the seaside suggests a week or fortnight of freedom on the beach, ideally a sandy one providing enough opportunities for the construction of sandcastle, fishing in pool, paddling in shallow water or swimming in deep water. Their parents spend sunny days swimming in the sea and sunbathing on the beach. Not that the British sun can be relied on and the depressing sight of families wandering round the town in old –fashioned and under umbrellas is only too common. However, there are always shops with their tourist souvenirs, plenty of cafes and if the worst comes to the worst, the cinema to offer a refuge.
    The average family is unlikely to seek accommodation in a hotel as they can stay more cheaply in a boarding-house. There are usually three or four-storeyed Victorian buildings, whose owners spend the summer season letting rooms to a number of couples or families and providing three cooked meals a day at what they describe as a reasonable price, with the hope that in this way they will add enough to their savings to see the winter through. Otherwise there are the camping sites for those who prefer self-catering.
    Nowadays, even when an increasing number of people fly off to Mediterranean resorts where a well-developed suntan (晒黑) can be assured, or explore in comfort Swiss lakes and mountains or romantic Italian or Spanish cities, the British seaside is still the main attraction for families, especially those with younger children. As they queue for boats trips, cups of tea or ice-cream under gray skies and in dizzling rain, the parents are reliving (重温) their own childhood when time seemed endless, their own sandcastles the most splendid on the beach, the sea always blue and friendly and the sun always hot.
    小题1:Children enjoy the seaside because ________.
    A．their parents can live and play with them
    B．they can buy what they want there
    C．there are a variety of enjoyable ways of spending time there
    D．they can learn how to build sandcastles, how to swim, etc.
    小题2:The reason suggested for running a boarding-house is that ________.
    A．people can live as where they live at home
    B．people can cook what they are favorite
    C．the owners provide three cooked meals a day at a reasonable price
    D．the resulting additional income will ensure a living for several months
    小题3:Many parents once played on the British beach and ________.
    A．still have their happy memories of it
    B．don’t want to have a holiday there
    C．don’t want to take their children to have a holiday there.
    D．want to build their own sandcastles the most splendid on the beach again
    小题4:Nowadays more and more people fly off to Mediterranean resorts for ________.
    A．an exploration of lakes in comfortB．a well-developed suntan
    C．a well-equipped boarding-houseD．a romantic party
    小题5:Which of the following is True according to the passage?
    A．It is suggested that as a form of holiday entertainment the cinema is the best place to go in bad weather.
    B．A reason suggested in the first paragraph for the appeal of the English seaside is that it is an ideal place for children.
    C．Northern Scotland is little-inhabited and remote.
    D．Few people in Britain go abroad for holiday relaxation and enjoyment.
