It is home to Africa and is believed to be one of the first plants grown by humans, thousands of years ago. Although it was occasionally used as a source of food or medicine, the bottle gourd was most valued for its hard-shelled dried fruit. Multi-functional bottle gourds were used by ancient people all around the world as floats for nets, containers for water and even as musical instruments. What botanists(植物学家)are unsure of, however, is exactly how the bottle gourds was at first transported from Africa to Asia and the New World. The most usual theory is that bottle gourds simply drifted across the ocean, perhaps as an indirect result of African farmers transporting their crops by river. Bottle gourds are extremely able to float, so if any were to fall overboard during these trips, they were likely to be carried by the river to the open sea, where they would be swept away by ocean waves. Modern researchers have proven that the bottle gourd is able to stand such a journey, able to float in the ocean for hundreds of days and still carrying seeds from which new gourds can be grown. There are others who believe that the bottle gourd was brought to the New World by African fishermen. The basis of this argument is that any naturally moving bottle gourds would have been washed up on New World beaches, an environment in which they do not naturally grow and then could not survive in. Therefore, humans had to have played a part in their appearance in the New World. Most botanists, however, argue against this theory. They believe those bottle gourds that floated across the ocean may have been carried inland by strong waves or hurricanes to more suitable ecological sites. 29. Why does the writer mention hard-shelled dried fruit? A. To provide evidence that bottle gourds were planted. B. To identify various values of bottle gourds. C. To show how bottle gourds were used as medicine. D. To explain why bottle gourds received so much attention from scientists. 30. Bottle gourds are used in the following ways except_. A. food B. medicine C. containers D. transport 31. The movement of the bottle gourds is explained by_. A. contrasting arguments put forward for natural and human movements B. identifying the most mon reason for their appearance C. listing evidence that supports natural and human movements D. explaining how sea life played a part in the process 解析： 考点：说明文类 难度系数：2 文章大意：本文讨论了葫芦从非洲传播到世界的多方观点。 29.答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第三句was most valued，可知正确选项B的表述identify various values与之相对应。 30.答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第三、第四句，可知D项未提及。 31.答案：A 解析：推理判断题。文章二、三段是围绕首段展开的，其中心句The most usual theory is that.和There are others who believe that.揭示出文章是运用对比的争论来解释葫芦的传播的，故选A。 长难句解析： 1. Bottle gourds are extremely able to float, so if any were to fall overboard during these trips, they were likely to be carried by the river to the open sea, where they would be swept away by ocean waves. 本句的第一层划分是so引出的并列句。在其后的分句中包含了if引导的状语从句和where引导的定语从句。 2. The basis of this argument is that any naturally moving bottle gourds would have been washed up on New World beaches, an environment in which they do not naturally grow and then could not survive in. is后是that引导的表语从句。an environment是New World beaches的同位语，其后接了in which引导的定语从句。 D Australia has opened its first country music academy (学院) within a Queensland high school in an attempt to improve the credibility (可信性) of this style among young people.

English is spoken by about 350 million people as a first language in countries such as Great Britain, the United States. In addition, about a billion more people speak English as a second language. English started to take over French as an international language during the period of British colonialism (殖民主义) when the English ruled many countries in Africa and Asia. 38 The colonial period came to an end at the same time that several other changes occurred. For example, the U.S. started to play a greater part in global affairs and the international economy. New means of munication technology such as television and the Internet spread English worldwide. 39 In addition, they could use the Internet for information, business, or e-mail munication, all in English. Just as the use of English spread, other languages changed English by contact or by new inventions and technology. In contrast, Icelandic is a language that has changed very slowly. Icelandic speakers today can understand poetry written in a slightly different dialect over 1,000 years ago! Why has Icelandic changed so slowly? The main reason is the isolated (孤立的) location of the island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. 40 pared to England, Iceland had no history of colonialism. Icelands small population has not played a major role in international trade or munication. Today, most Icelanders speak English in addition to their native language. With outside influences, Icelandic is changing more rapidly now. A. People everywhere could watch the news or sports events in English. B. These changes have a great influence on the development of society. C. Isolation meant that for hundreds of years, Icelanders had little contact with speakers of other languages. D. What are some of the factors that influence how quickly a language changes? E. The language munication brings about the munication of technology. F. In the past, other languages such as Latin or French were more important than English. G. English was the primary means of munication in these colonies. 解析： 难度系数：2 36.答案：D 解析：D项设问句及factors与下句The most important factors保持一致。 37.答案：F 解
