Throughout history, people have been interested in knowing how languages first began, but no one knows exactly where or how this happened. 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. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of China can't understand speakers from other parts.

18. Would you pay thousands of dollars for a painting with a face so unclear
that you're not even sure it's a face? Or a picture by unknown artist? What
if 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 computer
programme 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. It will grow up.
（1）Edmond de Belamy was mainly created by.
A. a computer programme
B. some French students
C. several unknown artists
D. a man called Edmond
（2）What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?

A. many people are impressed with the painting
B. lots of people took part in creating the painting
C. some people didn't expect the painting to be sold
D. most people hope Al art will be common in the future
（4）What does the writer probably think of AI?
A it creates better art than humans.
B. It has not been well﹣developed yet.
C. It will never be popular with art﹣lovers.
D. It will always be a tool used by human artists.
（5）The best title for the passage can be.
A. AI technology and AI art
B. The present and future of AI art
C. The first painting created of AI in the world
D. The first computer﹣created artwork on sale

19. If you grow up in America, you must know this little foodie（美食家）
rhyme. "You scream! I scream! We all scream for ice cream!" For most
Americans, the phrase "ice cream" brings out memories or summer. Ice
cream is the oldest fashioned treat, and it has an ancient history.
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty （618﹣907 AD）are believed to have been the first to eat "a frozen milk﹣like dessert ", which was made with milk heated with flour. Later, camphor （樟脑）was added to improve the taste.
In Medieval Titles Arabs enjoyed an ice drink called sherbet （冰冻果子露）. This cold drink often went with fruits. Over time, the drink became popular with the European upper class. Italians are said to have learned this drink﹣making skill, with the French following soon after. The 17th century saw ice drinks made into frozen desserts. With sugar added, sorbet（雪酪）was created. Antonio Latini （1632﹣1692）is the first person to create a milk﹣based sorbet, which is considered as the first "Official" ice cream.
It is impossible to say how exactly ice cream reached America, but it probably arrived with European settlers in the early 1700s. In 1790, the first ice cream store opened in New York. During the summer of the same year, our first president, George Washington, is said to have spent ＄200 to satisfy his thirst for the lovely treat.
Ice cream has become one of the most popular desserts in America. Apple pie might be the most traditionally American dessert, but what is served as its most popular close friend?

C. c→a→d→b
D. b→a→d→c
（4）Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A. Camphor brought a better taste to the milk﹣like dessert
B. Sherbet was often mixed with fruits.
C. Sugar was added to frozen dessert in the 17th century.
D. In America, apple pies are usually served with strawberry ice cream.
（5）According to Paragraph 4, we can infer（推断）that.
A. it must be European settlers who introduced ice cream to America
B. ice cream was so expensive that only American presidents could afford it
C. when he was thirsty, George Washington usually bought ice cream
D. the writer is an American
【分析】文章主要介绍了冰淇淋的由来与发展.
【解答】1. C 内容理解题. 根据you must know this little foodie rhyme. "You scream! I scream! We all scream for ice cream!" For most Americans, the phrase "ice cream" brings out memories or summer.
