But the cities werent found until 1992, when a search in Alexandria waters foun

13、d that the two cities had been flooded for centuries. Artifacts(史前器物) showed that the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt.Machu PicchuA Yale professor discovered the Lost City in the Clouds in 1911.

Social media sites like Twitter and Facebook are full of festive pictures, featuring parents catching and sharing those special family moments, their childs wish list, and maybe even a cute video of their child dancing to “Jing

19、le Bell Rock” while wearing a diaper （尿片） and Santa hat. Swelling with pride, parents cant wait to get approval with a “thumbs up” or better yet a personalized message on their treasured post.Adults should be able to post what they want online. However, when exposing family moments online, are they

20、sharing too much information? Do parents have the right to share those cute now, but embarrassing later moments about kids? Have children willingly given their agreement to sharing their cute but funny video online?A recent study found that 75% of parents turn to social media for parenting-related i

21、nformation and social support. There is even a term used to describe the overuse of sharing too much information about kids on social media: “sharenting”. Research also finds that “sharenting” isnt going anywhere anytime soon. Whats troublesome is that a typical parent has about 150 Facebook friends

22、 and only a third of them are actual friends. So that brings up good questions Who are we really sharing our information with and why? Who knows when and where that photo could resurface in the future?While theres no reliable information on how young children feel about things posted online, we do h

23、ave information about how teens feel. According to a report by the Family Online Safety Institute, 76% of teens are concerned about their privacy. Many teens constantly search for new apps that allow anonymity. When names are required, they use screen names that dont reveal real information. If our

29、of a foreign language needs to be told that grammar is complex. By changing the order of the words and by adding a range of auxiliary verbs (助动词) and suffixes (后缀), we can turn a statement into a question, state whether an action has taken place or is soon to take place, and perform many other word

30、tricks to convey different meanings. However, the question which many language experts cant understand and explain iswho created grammar?Some recent languages evolved due to the Atlantic slave trade. Since the slaves didnt know each others languages, they developed a make-shift language called a pid

31、gin. Pidgins are strings of words copied from the language of the landowners. They have little in the way of grammar, and speakers need to use too many words to make their meaning understood. Interestingly, however, all it takes for a pidgin to become a complex language is for a group of children to

32、 be exposed to it at the time when they learn their mother tongue. Slave children didnt simply copy the strings of words used by their elders. They adapted their words to create an expressive language. In this way complex grammar systems which come from pidgins were invented.Further evidence can be

33、seen in studying sign languages for the deaf. Sign languages are not simply a group of gestures; they use the same grammatical machinery that is found in spoken languages. The creation of one such language was documented quite recently in Nicaragua. Previously, although deaf children were taught spe

34、ech and lip reading in the classrooms, in the playgrounds they began to invent their own sign system, using the gestures they used at home. It was basically a pidgin and there was no consistent grammar. However, a new system was born when children who joined the school later developed a quite differ

35、ent sign language. It was based on the signs of the older children, but it was shorter and easier to understand, and it had a large range of special use of grammar to clarify the meaning. Whats more, they all used the signs in the same way. So the original pidgin was greatly improved.Most experts be

36、lieve that many of the languages were pidgins at first. They were initially used in different groups of people without standardization and gradually evolved into a widely accepted system. The English past tense“ed” ending may have evolved from the verb “do”. “It ended” may once have been “It end-did

37、”. It seems that children have grammatical machinery in their brains. Their minds can serve to create logical and complex structures, even when there is no grammar present for them to copy.28. What can be inferred about the slaves pidgin language?A. It contained highly complex grammar.B. It came fro

38、m different languages.C. It was created by the landowners.D. It was difficult to understand.29. What is the characteristic of the new Nicaraguan sign language?A. No consistent signs were used for communication.B. The meaning was clearer than the previous sign language.C. The hand movements were smoo

39、ther and more attractive.D. Most of the gestures were made for everyday activities.30. Which idea does the author present in the last paragraph?A. The thought that English was once a pidgin is acceptable.B. Children say English past tense differently from adults.C. English grammar of past tense syst

40、em is inaccurate.D. Experts have proven that English was created by children.31. What is the best title for the passage?A.Why Pidgins Came into Being B. The History of LanguagesC.
