A week ag I went n a drive t explre an area f Eastern Washingtn that I'm nt familiar with at all. It was the rlling cuntryside nrth f where I live, near the little twn f Mansn.
The gegraphy here is dry but lwer, wider, and full f rlling hills. The area miles int the distance twards the East. It seems like a very rural, mainly uninhabited（杳无人烟的）area, but actually, as yu explre, yu quickly realize that there are huses even in the mst remte lking areas, little pckets f human life here and there.
I think that peple wh live in these areas are either retired, wrking remtely frm hme, r really need the peace and energy that the quiet cuntryside can give.
Driving up a lnely, winding rad, suddenly there was a flash f clr abve that passed ver the car. Of all things it was a peacck （孔雀）What n earth was it ding in this remte area？It seemed really ut f place.

And yes, they seemed mre cmfrtable in that area than in palace gardens. They are, after all, very much like pheasants （野鸡）just much mre beautiful. Smene nearby must have attended them. I culd nly see ne female；f curse she wasn't as beautiful t lk at as the males .Her feather was much mre like the grass and rcks f her surrundings.

Change happens t any language. New vcabulary is ften required fr the latest inventins r ideas. But a language can als change fr reasns that are nt clear.
Language changes whenever speakers cmmunicate with each ther. Peple frm different places clearly speak differently, but even within the same small cmmunity, peple speak differently depending n their age, rigin, and scial and educatinal backgrund. When we cmmunicate with these different speakers, in different situatins, we hear new wrds and expressins, and can make them a part f ur wn speech. Even if yur family has lived in the same area fr generatins, yu can prbably see a number f differences between the language yu use and the way yur grandparents speak.
During the 18th century, Jnathan Swift, the Irish writer, and many ther peple felt the English language was in serius fall and that a natinal rganizatin — like thse in France and Italy — shuld be created t save the language. Swift nce wrte that we shuld find a way t cnclude any change f ur language.
Mre experts believe that change in language is unavidable(不可避免). Change is a way f keeping a language alive and useful, and gives speakers different ways f saying things with extremely small differences f meaning and ways f expressing cmpletely new ideas.
In 1747, Samuel Jhnsn wrte abut his desire t write a dictinary that wuld fix the prnunciatin f English and keep it pure. But when he cmpleted the dictinary ten years later, he admitted in his intrductin that fixing a language was impssible.

Fr thse wh get angry when they miss ut n lunch, it may be the perfect excuse: a lack f fd makes bearable peple “angry”.
In ne f the first studies t explre hw hunger affects emtins (情绪)as peple g abut their daily lives, psychlgists fund that the mre hungry peple felt, the mre angry they became, which is called hangry .

The study des nt give any slutins, but Swami believes that being able t recgnize the emtin can itself be f help, frmally, we might be aware f what we are feeling but nt understand the cause f it. But it desn't matter at all. The study actually pens a dr t further understand that.” he said.
Regardless f the mechanism, Swami believes the study raises a serius pint: children wh g hungry t schl are less likely t learn effectively, and mre likely t have behaviral prblems, s ensuring pupils are prperly fed must be a pririty. “It’s really imprtant t be able t identify emtins like being hangry s we can reduce the negative effects,” he said.

9、答案：A

11、答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Change happens t any language. New vcabulary is ften required fr the latest inventins r ideas. But a language can als change fr reasns that are nt clear.(任何语言都会发生变化。最新的发明或想法往往需要新的词汇。但是一种语言也会因为一些不清楚的原因而改变。)”和第二段中“Language changes whenever speakers cmmunicate with each ther.(当说话者彼此交流时，语言就会改变。)”可知，文章讲了不管你喜不喜欢，语言会因各种原因而变化，这是必然的。所以“Why des language change?(为什么语言会变化？)”是文章最佳标题。故选C项。
12、答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中“In ne f the first studies t explre hw hunger affects emtins（情绪）as peple g abut their daily lives, psychlgists fund that the mre hungry peple felt, the mre angry they became, which is called hangry.(在探索人们日常生活中饥饿如何影响情绪的首批研究中，心理学家发现，人们越饿，就越生气，这被称为“饿怒”。)”以及第三段中“The study came abut after Prf. Viren Swami, a scial psychlgist at Anglia Ruskin University, was tld, n mre than ne ccasin, that he was hangry and shuld d smething abut it. (这项研究的起因是来自Anglia Ruskin大学社会心理学教授Viren Swami的经历。他在多个场合被告知自己正在经历“饥饿愤怒”，并应该做些什么。这个挑战让他开始怀疑“饥饿愤怒”是否是一个真实存在的现象。)”可知，因为Viren Swami自己在多个场合曾经经历过“饥饿愤怒”，为了确认是否存在该现象，因此Viren Swami开启了这项研究。故选D。
13、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第五段“The study des nt give any slutins, but Swami believes that being able t recgnize the emtin can itself be f help. (这项研究没有提出任何解决方案，但Swami认为，能够识别和标记这种情绪本身就有帮助。)以及“The study actually pens a dr t further understand that.(这项研究实际上为进一步理解这一点打开了一扇门。)”以及最后一段中“It's really imprtant t be able t identify emtins like being hangry s we can reduce the negative effects(能够识别饿怒症等情绪非常重要，这样我们才能减少负面影响)”可知，针对于“饥饿愤怒”该研究并没有提出任何解决方案，可是该研究有助于识别和标记这种情绪本身并且为进一步了解这一现象打开了一扇门，并且通过该研究识别出“饿怒症”这是能有利于我们减少负面影响那个，因此这项研究的重要性是毋庸置疑的。故选A。
14、答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Regardless f the mechanism, Swami believes the study raises a serius pint: children wh g hungry t schl are less likely t learn effectively, and mre likely t have behaviral prblems(不管机制如何，Swami认为这项研究提出了一个严肃的问题：饿着肚子上学的孩子不太可能有效地学习，更有可能出现行为问题)”可知，饿着肚子让孩子去上学会影响孩子们的学习效率并且容易出现行为问题，即表现的更糟糕。故选C。
15、答案：D
解析：推理判断题。通读全文，文章介绍了一项新的研究即探讨了饥饿如何影响人们的情绪。研究发现，人们越饥饿，就越容易变得愤怒，这被称为“饥饿愤怒”（hangry）。同时，研究提醒我们饥饿的儿童更难有效学习，更容易出现行为问题，因此确保学生得到正确的饮食供应是至关重要的。由此推断文章出自于科学杂志。故选D。
