Rather, its because of good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest. Especially with this years large crop, leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to stuff it with zucchini(西葫芦).My sister, Sharon, recently had a good year of tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they had begun to feel their skin turn slightly red. She decided to share her blessings. She called everyone she knew. When that failed, she began asking everyone in the neighborhood, eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes.“Feel free to take whatever you want,” Sharon told her. She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didnt go to waste.A few days later, the neighbor appeared in her house, holding a hot loaf of bread. She smiled, “I wanted to thank you for the tomatoes, and I have to admit I took a few other things too.”Sharon couldnt think of anything else that had been worth harvesting.“Oh, but you did,” the neighbor said.“You had some of the prettiest zucchini Ive ever seen.”Sharon was confused. They hadnt even planted any zucchini. But her neighbor insisted there were bright-green zucchini in her garden. Sharon decided to go to see where the zucchini had grown. The two of them walked into the backyard. When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables, Sharon smiled, “Well, actually, those are cucumbers that we never harvested, because they got too big, soft and bitter for eating.”The neighbor looked at Sharon, shock written all over her face. Then, smiling, she held out the bread she had shared with the neighborhood.“I brought you a nice loaf of cucumber bread. I hope you will like it.”8.What does the underlined word “stuff” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Decorate. B. Swap. C. Fill. D.

In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations- UNESCO and National Geographic among them have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect. Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal. Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record. At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials- including photographs, films, tap recordings, and field notes- which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection. Now, through the two organizations that he has founded-the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project- Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of munities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet., Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech munities.12.Many scholars are making efforts to _.A. promote global languagesB. rescue the disappearing languagesC. search for language munitiesD. set up language research organizations.13.What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Having first records of the languagesB. Writing books on language searching C. Telling stories about language usersD. Linking with the native speakers14.What is Turins book based on?A. The cultural statics in India.B. The documents available at Yale.C. His language research in Britain.D. His personal experience in Nepal.15.Which of the following best describes Turins Work?A. Write, sell and donate.B. Record, repeat and reward.C. Collect, protect and reconnect.D. Design, experiment and report.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Make a Chinese HotpotEating a Chinese hotpot is a very mon experience.
