第二部分 阅读理解(共三节，满分55分)

第一节 单项选择 (共13小题；每小题2.5分，满分32.5分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

As more and more people speak the global language of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will be likely to die out by the next century, according 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 and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.

Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan 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, tape 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 schools but to the younger generations of communities 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 communities.

1. Many scholars are making efforts to ________.

A. promote global languages B. rescue disappearing languages

C. search for languages communities D. set up language research organizations

2. What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to ________.

A. having detailed records of the languages B. writing books on language users

C. telling stories about language speakers D. living with the native speakers

3. What is Turin’s book based on?

A. The cultural studies in India. B. The documents available at Yale.

C. His language research in Bhutan. D. His personal experience in Nepal.

4. Which of the following best describes Turin’s work?

A. Write, sell and donate. B. Record, repair and reward.

C. Collect, protect and reconnect. D. Design, experiment and report.

B

Though writing by hand is increasingly being overshadowed by the ease of computers, a new study finds handwriting helps people learn certain skills surprisingly faster and significantly better than learning the same material through typing or watching videos.

Brenda Rapp, a professor of cognitive science in Johns Hopkins University, led an experiment, in which 42 people were taught the Arabic alphabet, split into three groups of learners: writers, typers and video watchers. Everyone learned the letters one at a time by watching videos of them being written along with hearing names and sounds. After being introduced to each letter, the three groups would attempt to learn what they just saw and heard in different ways. The video group got an on-screen flash of a letter and had to recognize it. The typers would have to find the letter on the keyboard. The writers had to copy the letter with pen and paper. After as many as six sessions, the writing group reached this level of proficiency (熟练) faster than the other groups.

Next the researchers wanted to determine to what extent the groups could generalize this new knowledge. In other words, they could all recognize the letters, but could anyone really use them like a professional by writing with them, using them to spell new words and using them to read unfamiliar words? The writing group was best — decisively — in all of those things.

Rapp says it’s because handwriting reinforces the visual and aural lessons. The simple act of writing by hand provides a perceptual-motor (感知运动) experience that unifies what is being learned about the letters (their shapes, their sounds, and their motor plans), which in turn creates richer knowledge and fuller true-learning.

Although the participants in the study were adults, the researchers expect they’d see the same results in children. The findings have implications for classrooms, where pencils and notebooks have taken a backseat in recent years to tablets and laptops.

5. In this study, what is the advantage of writing by hand?

A. It contributes to a faster and better learning. B. It can’t be replaced by computers and Internet.

C. It combines visual and aural images into study. D. It never makes any mistake in the six sessions.

6. How were the people divided into groups in the experiment?

A. On the basis of their interest in letters. B. According to their way of learning letters.

C. Considering the time spent in learning letters. D. By their levels of proficiency in letters.

7. What effect do the researchers expect the study have on students?

A. Uncertain. B. Negative. C. Beneficial. D. Challenging.

8. What’s the purpose of the text?

A. To advertise a method. B. To clarify a concept.

C. To introduce a research. D. To explain a phenomenon.

C

China is investigating how to build an ultra-large spacecraft that is up to 0. 6 mile （1 kilometer) long. But how practical is the idea?

The project is part of a wider call for research proposals from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, a funding agency managed by the country's Ministry of Science and Technology. A research outline posted on the foundation's website described such enormous spaceships as “major strategic aerospace equipment for the future use of space resources, exploration of the mysteries of the universe, and long- term living in orbit”。

The foundation wants scientists to conduct research into new, lightweight design methods that could limit the amount of construction material that has to be thrown into orbit, and new techniques for safely assembling such massive structures in space. If funded, the practicability study would run for five years and have a budget of 15 million yuan ($2.3 million).

The project might sound like science fiction, but former NASA chief technologist Mason Peck said the idea isn't entirely off the wall, and the challenge is more a question of engineering than fundamental science. “I think it's entirely practical,” Peck, now a professor of aerospace engineering at Cornell University, told Live Science. “I would describe the problems here not as unconquerable obstacles, but rather problems of scale. ” By far the biggest challenge would be the price tag, noted Peck, due to the huge cost of launching objects and materials into space. The International Space Station （ISS), which is only 361 feet (110 meters) wide at its widest point according to NASA, cost roughly $ 100 billion to build, Peck said, so constructing something 10 times larger would strain even the most generous national space budget.

Much depends on what kind of structure the Chinese plan to build, though. The ISS is packed with equipment and is designed to accommodate humans, which significantly increases its mass. “If we're talking about something that is simply long and not also heavy then it's a different story,” Peck said.

9. Which of the following statements about the massive spacecraft is TRUE?

A. The design of the spacecraft has already been in place.

B. It is directly led by the Ministry of Science and Technology.

C. It is aimed at further exploring the space and human's future.

D A lot of research has been conducted regarding the spacecraft.

10. What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A. The requirements of the practicability study.

B. The new approach to construction material.

C. How to get funded by the Foundation.

D. The revolutionary methods of constructing the spacecraft.

11. What can be inferred from Peck's perspective?

A. There are still major doubts about the practicality of the spacecraft.

B. The structure of the spacecraft may determine the cost of the project.

C. The ISS has already successfully completed its historical mission.

D. The project and the current ISS are likely to have a lot in common.

12. What is most probably mentioned in the following paragraph?

A. The problems facing the construction of the spacecraft.

B. Future researches into the other giant space projects.

C. Other approaches to reducing the cost of the spacecraft.

D. The future promising application of the spacecraft.
