3、mysteries as serials in All the Year Round. When it appeared in the magazine in 1860, The Woman in White was so popular that it became the subject of a song and a play.

6、esting and often amusing. There are also several features of the plot which start trends(趋向) in mystery writing.

11、ott Magoon, whose drawings show how Rescue works alongside Jessica. He can pick up the phone and bring it to her if she needs it, Magoon said.

18、mals have continued to reduce. As a result, the survival of some species of wildlife is threatened. To help protect wildlife, a lot of practice should be carried out by the general public. Create homes for species that are endangered because of losing their own natural habitats. Wildlife shelters sh
19、ould be developed, and habitats should be created in existing national parks. Efforts should also be made to protect existing habitats, such as providing food and water and limiting hunting. Breed (培育) endangered species in places such as zoos. Once the young animals grow up, they can be set free in
20、to the wild where their population will continue to grow. The general public may not realize that a species is endangered until its too late. Educational programs making use of TV advertising and instructional meetings at national parks can be used to make the public aware of the situation. The gene
21、ral public can help protect the wildlife by not hunting wild animals for sport or for a source of food. They should also stop supporting those who earn money from the illegal hunting of wild animals, such as hunters who hunt wild animals for the only purpose ofselling them for money. If there is no
22、market for wild animals, there will be no killing of these endangered species. The public should avoid keeping wild animals as pets.

Languages usually have a shor
26、t life span (寿命) as well as a very high death rate. Only a few, including Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, Latin, have lasted more than 2,000 years. What is new, however, is the speed at which they are dying out. Europes colonial rule caused a sharp decrease in languages, reducing at least 15 percent of al
27、l languages spoken at the time. Over the last 300 years, Europe has lost a dozen languages, and Australia has only 20 left of the 250 languages spoken at the end of the 18th century. The rise of nation-states has also been decisive in selecting national languages. By making great efforts to establis
28、h an official language in education and the media, national governments have tried to reduce minority languages. This process of language standardization(标准化) has been improved by industrialization and scientific progress, which have created new methods of communication that are fast, straightforwar
29、d and practical. The various kinds of language came to be seen as an difficulty to trade and the spread of knowledge. Monolingualism(单一语言制) became an perfect choice. More recently, the internationalization of financial markets, the spread of information by electronic media and other aspects of globa
30、lization have led to the danger to small languages. A language not on the Internet is a language that no longer exists in the modem world. It is out of the game. The serious effects of the death of languages are clear. First of all, it is possible that if we all ended up speaking the same language,
31、our brains would lose some of their natural functions for language inventiveness. We would never be able to figure out the origins of human language or resolve the mystery of the first language. As each language dies, a chapter of human history closes. Multilingualism(多语制) is the best reflection of
32、multiculturalism. The destruction of the first will lead to the loss of the second. Creating a language without any links to a peoples culture and way of life stifles the expression of their language gift. A language is not only used as the main instrument of human communication. It also expresses t
33、he world view of those who speak it, as well as their ways of using knowledge. To safeguard languages is an urgent matter.1.Which of the following does not contribute to the death of languages?A.The rise of nation-states.B.Colonial rule from Europe.C.The increase of human population.D.Advances in sc

35、 languagesC.monolingualism would lead to the loss of multiculturalismD.the death of languages would become a difficulty to realize globalization4.What is the authors purpose of writing this passage?A.To explain the reasons why languages are dying out.B.To warn people of the negative results of globa
36、lization.C.To argue how important it is for people to speak more languages.D.To draw peopled attention to the importance of language preservation.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。 Do you know how to pick a good book youll really like?
