24．One of the main challenges facing many countries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the gr owing multi﹣
language trend．"One of the main reasons for economic failur e in many African countries is the fact that，
with a few important exceptions，mother﹣
tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent Af rican states．"said Neville Alexander，
Director of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education i n South Africa at the University of Cape Town．
In response to the spread of English and the increased multi﹣language trends arising from immigration，
many countries have introduced language laws in the last dec ade．In some，
the use of languages other than the national language is bann ed in public spaces such as advertising posters．One of the fi rst such legal provisions（规
定） was the 1994"Toubon law"in France，
and the idea has been copied in many countries since then．Such efforts to govern language use are often considered as f utile by language experts，
who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in s peech and know from research that language switching amon g bilinguals is a natural process．
It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to unders tand the desire to maintain the"purity"of a language by law．S ince the time of Shakespeare，
English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own la nguage．English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changi ng languages in the world，
but that has not been a barrier to acquiring superiority and po
wer．Another reason for the failure of many native English sp eakers to understand the role of the state regulation is that it h as never been the Anglo﹣
Saxon way of doing things．English has never had a state﹣controlled authority for the language，similar，for example，to the Academic Francaise in France．
The need to protect national languages is，
for most western Europeans，a recent phenomenon﹣especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecess arily take over too many fields．Public communication，education and new ways of communication promoted by tech nology，may be key fields to defend．
24．Neville Alexander believes that ．
A．mother﹣
tongue education is not practiced in all African countries B．globalization has resulted in the economic failure of Africa C．globalization has led to the rise of multi﹣language trend D．lack of mother﹣
tongue education can lead to economic failure
25．The underlined word"futile"（in paragraph 2）
most probably means" "．
A．workable
B．practical
C．useless
D．unnecessary
26．What can we infer from the last paragraph？A．English has taken over fields like public communication an d education．
B．Many aspects of national culture are threatened by the spr ead of English．
C．Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language．
D．Europeans have long realized the need to protect a nation al language．
27．The best title for the passage is ．
A．Fighting against the rule of English
B．Protecting local languages and identities C．Globalization and multi﹣language trend
D．To maintain the purity of language by law．
28．Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to impr ove physical fitness and sustain（保
持） a healthy lifestyle．Group exercise is challenging，
yet fun and empowering!Of course everyone knows that exerc ise is good for the body．However，
studies have shown that when exercise is performed in group s，
it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychol ogical health．It's an opportunity to be social，
release endorphins（内啡肽），
and improve your strength．Additionally，
group exercise creates a community feel and the shared com mon goal motivates participants to work hard．The instrumen tal support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves m ore effective than going to the gym alone．
Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the information al support participants receive from the instructor．Many peo ple fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to emb arrass themselves．If you feel you can relate，
then group training is an even better option for you．It's a gre at opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear in struction and supervision （监
管） of a fitness instructor．If you're tired of wandering aroun d the gym wasting time and becoming bored，
you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track．Don't let fitness frighten you!
If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle，
it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support．I wouldn't sc old anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wo uldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health．Surround yourself with people who uplift，encourage and understand you!Make fitness even more fun b y trying something new or any group fitness class，
with a friend．Plan to go for a jog together．Then try a fun he althy restaurant or fresh juice bar!Fitness can be both fun and social!
Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with resp ect support can be very beneficial while working towards reac hing health and fitness goals．First，
decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive ．Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive．Don't let negativity ruin your motivation．
28．The first paragraph focuses on ．
A．the greatest challenge of group exercise
B．the most effective way to improve physical fitness
C．the contribution of group exercise to psychological health
D．the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups 29．The underlined word"upbeat"in the second paragraph pr obably means" ．
A．cheerful
B．average
C．serious
D．temporal
30．When it comes to emotional support，
the author thinks it necessary ．
A．to sustain a colorful lifestyle
B．to party on weekends with positive people
C．to try a fun healthy restaurant regularly
D．to surround yourself with supportive people
31．What would be the best title for the passage？A．Seeking Support
B．Supporting Health
C．Improving Your Strength
D．Building Up Fitness．
32．Love to sink into your chairs and relax when you get to s chool？
Then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the w
orld are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all﹣Yes，
that means you will be encouraged to stand through those alr eady too long math and science lessons!Why would anyone e ven think of putting kids to such cruelty？
Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity．While that may seem a little far﹣fetched （牵强
的） the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree．
Among them are educators from the College Station Indepen dent School District in Texas，
who recently completed a week﹣
long experiment involving 480students across three elementa ry schools．The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the stud y were provided a device that helped record step count and c alorie consumption over the entire period．
All 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students ap peared to be more alert and concentrate better，
when allowed to stand．The one thing that did surprise the re searchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay sta nding than kids in higher grades．They believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years of being asked t o"sit still"，
older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected fre edom．
American schools are not the only ones reporting success wit h stand﹣up desks．Four Catholic schools in Perth，Australia，
which have been testing them since October 2013，
have seen similar results．In May 2014，
Grove House Primary School in Bradford，West Yorkshire，became Europe's first test one，with a seven﹣
week trial that involved the use of desks made by Ergotron in their fifth﹣
grade classrooms．While official results are not out yet，early reactions from both teachers and students，
have been extremely encouraging．
The findings of these studies and others done previously，
all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classro oms is a win﹣win for students and teachers﹣
it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience．
32．According to the first paragraph，
what may make the students at school unhappy is that
．
A．they have to exchange desks with each other
B．they have to exchange traditional desks for ones with no s eats
C．there are no seats for them to sit in class
D．the officials show no sympathy to them at all 33．According to the teachers，
older students may not like stand﹣up desks because ．A．they are cleverer than younger students
B．they are easily tired of standing long
C．they have formed the habit of sitting
D．they do badly in class while standing
34．What is most likely to be the result of the seven﹣
week trial？
A．The standing desks can't be used at all．
B．It is good for students to use stand﹣up desks．
C．More tests should be done in other schools．
D．The students are different in personality．
35．Why do the teachers like the standing desks？A．Because the educators can draw the students'attention．B．Because the teachers can keep the students healthy．
C．Because the students can have a walk in the classroom．D．Because the standing desks can keep the students conce ntrated．
36．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．
