Probably because of this I hadn't shaved for a few days. Also, because I had been doing some repairs at my daughter's house, I was dressed quite scruffily(不整洁地). Boarding the bus to go home, I saw it was almost full so I found a rail(扶手) to lean against.That's when a young woman, sitting with her child, stood up and offered me her seat. "Wow！" I thought. Out loud I said, "Do I look that old and tired7" She replied," You look like you've had a tough day. " I thanked her sincerely and stayed standing.A moment later a man rose from his seat at the back of the bus and made his way towards me, squeezing past several people on the way. Then he told me about his addiction problems, asked my advice, and just chatted about life for a few minutes. Then he went hack to his seat.Very random !Watching him go, I also looked at the bus-load of people between me and his seat. He hadn't chosen to talk to those strangers. He chose to talk to this stranger, for whatever it meant to him and whatevercomfort it brought him, Why?That's when it occurred to me. I must have Looked Like I had been where he was probably looked like a man who would understand a difficult life. I was humbled and uplifted at the same time by the realization that even when we are at our lowest we can still help others-if we look like we might be able to meet them where they live or walk a while in their world.24. We can learn from Paragraph l that the writer _ .A. didn't stay at home every dayB. got along well with his daughterC. helped people that he knew wellD. fixed something at his daughter's25. Why did the young woman offer her seat to the writer?A. Because she thought the writer looked very old.B. Because the writer looked very friendly.C. Because the writer looked exhausted.D. Because the writer looked humorous.26. What can we learn about the man from the third paragraph?A. He lacks confident in life.B. He maybe takes drugs heavily.C. He felt familiar with the writer.D. He was an acquaintance of the writer.27. The underlined words "this stranger" in Paragraph 4 probably refer to " ".A. the writerB. the driverC. one passengerD. the young womanCToday, several of the world's nearly 7,000 languages face a serious risk of extinction. "For example, Ainu, a language in Japan, is now seriously threatened, with only 10 native speakers Ieft," said lead study author Tatsuya Amano at the University of Cambridge in England.The scientists found that 25 percent of the world's languages are threatened. After identifying where the endangered languages were, they looked for any environmental and social or economic factors those languages might have in common, such as rugged terrain or rapid population growth. "We found that at the global scale, language speaker declines are strongly linked to economic growth-that is, declines are particularly occurring in economically developed regions," Amano said.One important implication of this new study "is that languages in the tropics and Himalayan region are likely to be increasingly threatened in the near future, because these regions still have many local indigenous languages(土语) with a small number of speakers, and at the same time are experiencing rapid economic growth," Amano said.Economic growth may endanger languages for a variety of reasons. For instance, speakers of endangered languages may view another more dominant language as offering economic opportunities, and thus forego their own languages. There are other important factors that might endanger languages, the researchers said. For instance, policies regarding how languages are used and taught in schools can be very different among countries and even within each country, and these factors may explain more detailed patterns in language endangerment.Amano suggested it could be possible to forecast future threats to linguistic diversity. "There exists detailed information on projected future changes in the environment, economies and climates," Amano said. "Using such information, together with the findings of this study and further analysis, we would like to understand what will happen to the world's languages, where it will happen and which languages will be threatened in particular. "28. The language of Ainu is mentioned in Paragraph l in order to tell us that .A.Japanese is new seriously threatenedB. few people speak Japanese in the worldC. Japanese is made up of many languagesD. it is most likely to disappear in the future29. What may endanger the languages most according to Amano?A. The diversity of society.B. The decline of the population.C. The development of economy.D. The improvement of the environment.30. The writer shows us the reasons that languages are endangered byA. offering some examplesB. performing some experiments .C. telling some interesting storiesD. making a list of important facts .31.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _A. the study is very important to languagesB. world's languages are developing rapidly' . . C.it is rather hard for us to protect languagesD. future threats to languages can be predictedDDeep in the western Amazon rainforest, live butterflies that drink turtle tears. That sounds like a line straight out of a fantasy novel, but it's one hundred percent real life! It's an unusual sight--a crowd of butterflies flying around the eyes of yellow-spotted river turtles, trying to get a little tear.s. The poor turtles try to avoid them, hut the butterflies insist drinking their tears until they've had their fill.The butterflies are likely attracted to the turtles' tears because the liquid drops contain salt, specifically sodium, an important mineral that is rare in the western Amazon rainforest, said Phil Torres, a scientist who does much of his research at the Tambopata Research Center in Peru and is associated with Rice Univtrsity. Turtles get plenty of sodium(钠) through their largely carnivorous(食肉的) diet. Meat contains significant levels of the salt, Torres told LiveScience. But herbivores(食草的) butterflies sometimes .struggle to get this extra mineral source, he added.Torres explained the western Amazon rainforest is lower in sodium than many places on earth, because it t is over l,000 miles away from the Atlantic Ocean---a main source of salt. The region is also cut off from the mineral dirt blown towards the west from the Andes Mountains. Most of these windblown minerals are removed from the air by the rain before they have a chance to reach the western Amazon.In fact, the butterflies have other sources to get sodium besides turtles' tears, which include animal urine(尿), muddy river banks, sweaty clothes and so on.People can't help wondering if the process is painful for turtles. Torres said it's not completely clear, but the teary effort probably has little effect on the turtles, other than perhaps making them more vulnerable to their enemies like big cats, since the butterflies can block out their vision.32. The butterflies drink turtle tears to _A. help the turtles get sodium' B. get a mineral from turtle tearsC. rid waste from the turtles' bodiesD. take turtles to the best water source .33. The third paragraph mainly tells usA. what leads to the extremely low levels of sodium in the regionB. why sodium is very important for butterflies in the region. C. what takes away the sodium of the surface of the regionD. why the region is badly short of the mineral dirt34. We can conclude from the passage _A. the butterflies like eating meat for getting salt .B. the turtles like the butterflies drinking their tearsC. turtle tears are the only source of salt for the butterfliesD. the Andes Mountains lies east of the western Amazon rainforest35. What is the best title of the passage?A. Turtles' enemy or turtles' fiends?B. A line straight out of a fantasy novelC. The western Amazon rainforest's turtlesD.
