It is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone.It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year.He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，” said the 30yearold.Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”， which “makes you a more confident person that was ready to deal with anything”. He said: “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when Im dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said: “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”46Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?ATraveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.BIt is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.CIt is fortable to travel around without a friend.DTraveling abroad helps people to find new things.47Traveling alone is challenging because _.Ait will finally build your character Byou have to make things on your own Cyou depend on yourself whatever happensDit is hard for you to prove yourself to others48What can we infer about Chris Richardson?AHe started traveling at an early age.BHe was once shot in the arm.CHis website inspires others a lot.DHe used to work as a salesman.BOprah Winfrey，born in 1954，is all American talk show host，best known for her multiawardwinning talk show.

As interviewers go，she is no match for，say，what she lacks in journalistic toughness.She makes up for in plainspoken curiosity，rich humor and，above all understanding Guests with sad stories to tell tend to bring out a tear in Oprahs eye .They，in turn，often find themselves exposing things they would not imagine telling anyone，much less a national TV audience.”“I was nervous about the petition and then I became my own petition raising the bar every year，pushing，pushing，pushing myself as hard as I knew. It doesnt matter how far you might rise. At some point you are bound to fall if youre constantly doing what we do, raising the bar.

A language can bee extinct when the last person who can speak it passes away. Or more likely when the secondlast person who speaks it dies because then there is no one left to talk to. According to linguists (语言学家) there is nothing unusual about a single language dying out. But what is happening today is quite remarkable. According to the recent statistics, there are approximately 6,000 languages in the world as we speak. Of these, about half are going to die out in the next century. There are several reasons as to why a language can eventually die out. These range from natural disasters, such as hurricanes, to sociological factors, like cultural assimilation, in which the culture of a minority group is gradually replaced by a stronger one. The former can cause tribes to leave their natural habitat(栖息地) and therefore bee fewer and fewer in number. However, it doesnt happen very frequently. In fact, the latter is a much bigger threat and it is responsible for the extinction of a lot of languages in countries like the USA and Australia. For instance, Chemehuevi is one of the languages which is really close to dying out since its sole speaker is an old, yet healthy, man named Johnny Hill, Jr. It is very important for as many languages as possible to be preserved. Scientists have been trying to raise peoples awareness on how certain tribes have specific words which cannot be expressed in lets say English simply because there is no equal meaning. Namely, the Yupik of Alaska have 99 names to describe different layers of ice formation, or how the Tofa of Siberia classify reindeer (驯鹿). In other words, when languages die out, mankinds wisdom reduces. On a happier note, there are many famous cases which show what can be done to preserve languages in danger of extinction. In particular, the Maori in New Zealand have created socalled “language nests”： organizations which help children under five learn the language. They provide them with a setting where they are exposed to the language intensively so that they get to realise that municating in Maori is as natural as municating in English. There is always, of course, the risk that the children wont keep the language alive after they have left their “nests”. Nevertheless, hope dies hard.57What most probably caused the death of languages in the USA and Australia?AHabitats were lost. BNatural disasters struck.CNative cultures disappeared. DForeign languages were spoken.58In Paragraph 3, the author states his opinion by _ Alisting definitions Bproviding examplesCpresenting causes and effects Dparing with other opinions 59What does the author really intends to tell us in the last paragraph?AAttempts may not produce the desired effect.BEnvironment is important in language protection.CPeople can do little about a languages extinction.DMeasures should be taken in spite of difficulties.60The author believes that _. Aall languages are finally going to die outBhuman wisdom can be reflected in languagesCthe protective approaches have proved ineffectiveDthe current situation of languages hardly requires attention第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）A. Causes of overusing fluoride ( 氟化物 )B. Negative effects of fluorideC. Safe use of fluoride D. The experts background informationE. No need to worry about fluoride poisoning F. Solutions to improper use of fluorideI have heard that fluoride can help stop dental decay, but I recently read that it is poisonous. Which of these is true? How can children use fluoride safely?1_This question is answered by Dr Marcia M. Rich who practises general dentistry in Newholt. She is also a lecturer at the University and a writer for the monthly magazine Your Dentist Cares. 2_My answer to the first question is to stress that fluoride works well and is safe when users follow instructions. Young children have a tendency to swallow toothpaste, which is why they should only have a tiny amount of fluoride toothpaste on their toothbrush. If this simple measure is taken, parents can be confident that children will be protected against tooth decay, and e to no harm.3_Almost all medicines have a negative effector even be deadlyif they are not taken as directed. So you are rightfluoride can be poisonous if it is swallowed in very large quantities. It is for the reason that fluoride supplements can only be obtained on prescription from the doctor or dentist. Please be assured that fluoride overdoses are rarein fact, I have never heard of any fatal incidents related to fluoride poisoning.4_Scientific studies have shown that fluoride can help to prevent cavities(牙洞) as long as it is used correctly. If fluoride is abused, there is a risk of illness or even deaths in extreme cases. If a deadly amount of fluoride is taken, immediate firstaid could save a life. A person who has swallowed a large amount of fluoride will probably start vomiting. If not, the patient should be given milk or antacid and taken to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment.5_Taking too much fluoride while teeth are growing can lead to a condition called dental fluorosis. The most likely cause is the swallowing of fluoride toothpastes by young children. It can also be caused by inappropriate use of fluoride dro
