While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have got huge popularity in Western universities.The Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the weaknesses of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese cu stomers. So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well. He will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.41. The purpose of mentioning the date of September 28 is to ______.A. introduce Confucius’s birthdayB. attract r eaders’ interest in the subjectC. show great respect for the old thinkerD. show the popularity of birthday celebrations42. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that American students ______.A. have a great interest in studying ChineseB. actively take part in Chinese racesC. try to get high scores in Chinese examsD. race for a chance to learn Chinese43. What is the best title for the passage?A. Forgotten Wisdom in AmericaB. Huge Fans of the Chinese LanguageC. Language Learning in AmericaD. Old Thinker with a Big Future44. The passage is likely to appear in ______.A. a history textbookB. a storybookC. a newspaperD. a philosophy magazineBDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to cheat? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out(遗漏) important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example, some might say, ―I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!‖This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last te rm, her state lost one million jobs and got three million jobs. Then she wanted to be the governor foranother term. One of her opponents(对手) said, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!”That’s true. However, an honest statement sho uld have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertiserswill sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, ―Ni ne out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.‖ It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of cheating happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies ar e lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.45. The lottery winner actually lost ________.A. $100B. $200C. $300D. $40046. The underlined words ―net gain‖ in Paragraph 5 probably mean _______.A. final increaseB. big disadvantageC. a little decreaseD. great chance47. It can be inferred that the writerthinks people should _______.A. not find out half-truthsB. not take things at their face valueC. not buy lottery ticketsD. not take Yucky Pills for toothacheCOn a bright Friday afternoon in spring, Laura Peterson had every reason to enjoy walking on the streets. She had moved to the city nine months before. “When the weather is good, it’s very hard to find a reason to be unhappy with the city.”she said.Yet she lived in the city during a season of darkness in politics and acts of terrorism around the world. “One day you laugh, and then you are angry,”said Laura.As she walked toward the subway station, she thought, “Please, God, I want to see something nice.”At the City Hall station, she sat on a bench. It was just after 2:00 pm. A man stood next to a pillar, waiting for the train. There was an announcement that the next train was two stations away. Then Laura saw the man at the pillar falling forward onto the tracks(铁轨).Two gentlemen ran over, looked and jumped onto the tracks. They tried to wake him up but failed. The man was not moving. Two more men jumped down to help.“I don’t know where these men got the wisd om and the quickness,”Laura said. “The man who fell was about six feet tall, a heavy man. He seemed to be stuck in the tracks and hard to move away. It was worrying to know that the train was coming. Will it stop? Will they succeed pulling him out?”On the tracks, the man was lifted from below to others who rolled him onto the platform. Then the rescuers(救援者) were themselves rescued, pulled back to safety by helping hands. As soon as they were all clear, the train pulled in. People getting off the train walked around this man and left quickly without much attention paid to him.The man was taken to a local hospital, and fortunately he was not seriously injured.One of the men who went onto the tracks, David Tirado, told that he had visited the injured man the next day, who had no memory of even being in the subway.“This city of millions is full of people who are there for others,”Laura said. “Without even knowing the person. It was beautiful to see.”48. When Laura entered the subway station, she ______.A. was angry at the political darknessB. was excited about the good weatherC. was anxious about missing her trainD. was expecting to see something pleasant49. Which of the following statements about the rescue is TRUE?A. The train was stopped two stations away.B. The rescued man jumped onto the tracks.C. The rescued man had no idea what had happened in the rescue.D. The rescuers quickly climbed back to the platform by themselves.50. We can infer from the text that ______.A. David Tirado was the first to rescue the manB. more than four people joined in the rescue effortsC. passengers from the train offered help to the rescued manD. there were serious safety problems at the City Hall station51. What was Laura’s attitude toward the suc cessful rescue?A. Interested.B. Thankful.C. Surprised.D. Scared.DEleven of the world’s languages have at least one hundred million native speakers. The biggest are Mandarin Chinese, English, Spanish, Arabic and Hindi. Next come Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, Japanese, French and German. The United Nations says these eleven languages are the mother tongues of half the world’s population. But the world has about seven thousandlanguages. As many as half of these may be at risk of disappearing by the end of this century. That would mean one language dies every two weeks.Members of the Siletz Indian tribe in the northwestern state of Oregon take pride in their language. Their language, they say,“is as old as time itself.”But today very few people can speak it fluently. In fact, you can count the number of fluent speakers on one hand.More than ten thousand entries(词条) can be found in the Siletz Online Talking Dictionary. Professor Harrison has posted talking dictionaries for seven other highly endangered languages from around the world. He says technology can spread the influence of major languages but also help save endangered ones. Smartphone applications, YouTube videos and Facebook pages have all become digital tools for language activists and experts.Professor Harrison and the researchers in Oregon have mapped areas of endangered languages. One is the Pacific Northwest in the United States. Others include the upper Amazon basin, Siberia and northern Australia.In Canad a’s far north, the Inuit people are struggling to save their native language, Inuktitut. Part of the effort involves Microsoft. The company is translating terms in its Windows operating system and Office software into Inuktitut. The programming group had to invent new words to include all the terms in some Windows and Word document menus.Nowadays so many people spend their entire day sitting in front of a computer. If you’re sitting in front of your computer in English all day, that just reinforces(加强) En glish. If you’re now using Inuktitut, that is your language. Microsoft has also worked with language activists in New Zealand, Spain and Wales to translate its software into Maori, Basque, Catalan and Welsh.Young members of the Siletz Indian tribe are now texting each other in Siletz. Nothing takes the placeof speakers who communicate with other speakers and people who are learning. This bridges a gap that is just greatly needed in our community and in our tribe.52. People of the Siletz Indian tribe are proud of their language because ______.A. it’s easy to learnB. it’s widely spoken nowadaysC. it has a long historyD. much research has been done on it53. According to Professor Harrison, technology ______.A. makes it possible to learn a language quicklyB. changes the way young people learn a languageC. enables people to learn more foreign languagesD. helps the endangered languages known to more people54. We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.A. it’s hopeful to save the endangered languageB. Siletz is learned by an increasing number of peopleC. ways of communication in the tribe have changed a lotD. speaking is the most important skill in language learning55. What is the text mainly about?A. Efforts made to save endangered languages.B. The effects of modern technology on languages.C. The languages having the most speakers worldwide.D. The contributions researchers made to the Siletz Indian tribe.第二节：阅读短文内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
