13、 is best known for the monumental epic poem The Divine Comedy, which still counts as one of the masterpieces of world literature even today, over 700 years after its first appearance. However, Italian literature goes beyond Dante; there are many other classic Italian authors worth reading.Ludovico A

14、riosto(1474-1533)Recognized as a crucial figure in the development of Italian Renaissance literary culture, Ariosto is best known for his poem Orlando Furioso, which presents a rich variety of characters and mixes romance with epic.

15、rtists and musical composers well into the 1700s.Italo Calvino(1923-1985)Calvino was an Italian journalist and the author of the postmodern classic If on a Winters Night A Traveler published in 1979.

21、ednesday. I knew I was going too fast, but it was the only hope I had. My dog, Jett, was dying in the backseat.About half an hour earlier I received a call from my daughter. A ball got stuck in Jetts throat. He was struggling to breathe. I raced home to see if I could help, but the dogs mouth water

22、had made the ball too slippery to pull out by hand. So my daughter and I began our race to the vets(兽医诊所).About halfway there, we got caught in traffic jams due to construction. I began wildly sounding my horn(喇叭), hoping to attract help, and ended up catching the eye of several construction workers

23、. In an anxious voice, I told them what had happened to my dog. By then Jett was lying in the backseat, not moving. Cavaja Holt was one of the workers standing there. He stuck his hand down the dogs throat and pulled out the ball, but Jett still wasnt breathing.And the guy behind Holt shouted out, B

24、reathe into his mouth! Breathe into his mouth! And Holt did. It worked! Jett soon began breathing again. After my dog was saved, I continued my trip to the vets to make sure Jett was OK, and by the time I arrived the dog seemed to be doing much better. The staff there checked the dog over and said J

25、ett was in good health.Later on, I realized I was so anxious that I forgot to ask the mans name and thank him on the spot. My daughter posted the story on the Internet, asking to locate him. Meanwhile, Holt posted the story too, hoping to find out how the dog was doing. Within minutes, someone conne

26、cted the two. On Thursday morning, I drove back to the construction site and thanked Holt in person. He is truly a hero.24. How did the author feel after she received the call?A. Ashamed. B.

Heart-stopping rush to the vetsCShould we save endangered languages?I met Ariep on an island in the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu. Being the last fluent Naati speaker in the area, he sorrowfully expressed hi

29、s fear that, with his death, the language would no longer exist.Naati is just an example of endangered languages. Today, 50% to 90% of the worlds languages are considered at risk of falling out of use by the end of the century.Over the last 10 years, this crisis has attracted more public attention.

30、While we praise previous efforts made to protect dying languages native to specific places and spoken by aboriginal(土著的) people, lets stop and ask: Why does it matter?Should Naatis fate concern the world? Many speakers of endangered languages, including Ariep, communicate fluently in other languages

31、. Is the hope of saving these small languages just a romantic idea of unrealistic scholars?As a linguist, Im on the opposite side of those answering yes. I understand how critical and urgent language loss is. Individual communities rely on languages to form culture and identity, and for the global c

32、ommunity languages are an invaluable source of information about human cognition (认知).If a language is lost, the relevant community heritage will disappear. For instance, people who speak Lulamogi in Uganda feel anxious that as people forget the terms describing methods of catching and eating white

33、ants, they will also forget this important cultural practice. Language loss also means a loss of community identity and self-determination. Measuring their exact damage is hard, but the loss indeed harms the well-being of community members. By contrast, the ability of community members to speak thei

34、r native language together enhances well-being. In British Columbia, research has proved that the young generations in communities where at least 50% of the people speak the native language tend to exhibit a stronger sense of well-being and more optimistic attitudes toward life.When a language is di

35、sappearing, more is lost than just certain bits of information. Understanding language is vital to understanding human cognition. Every language presents us with a piece of the puzzle for finding out how language works in our mind, without which we are prevented from seeing the full picture.For ever

36、yones sake, we must preserve the worlds languages to ensure linguistic diversity for future generations.28. What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Arieps fear. B. Naatis fate. C. Public concern over the crisis. D. Protecting endangered languages.29. What are the consequences of

37、language loss?Broken dreams of scholars. Loss of information sources.Failure to understand the world. Damaging effects on well-being.Disappearance of cultural heritage.A. B. C. D.30. Which of the following words can best describe the authors attitude toward saving endangered languages?A. Neutral. B.

38、 Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Disapproving.31. Where is the text probably taken from?A. A diary. B. A novel. C. A report. D. A magazine.DBy 2035, NASA wants to land humans on Mars. But reaching the red planet, on average around 140 million miles away, will be difficult. Colder than Antarctica and

39、with little to no oxygen, Mars is an unfriendly environment. Besides, the longer it takes astronauts to get there and the longer they stay, the more they are at risk.Thats why scientists are looking at ways to reduce trip time. Seattle-based company Ultra Safe Nuclear Technologies(USNC-Tech) has off

40、ered a solution: an NTP engine that could get humans from Earth to Mars in just three months. Such an engine takes advantage of nuclear technology. Currently, the shortest possible trip for an unmanned spacecraft is seven months, but a manned mission is expected to take at least nine months. Shorter

41、 missions would limit the astronauts exposure to space radiation, but there is still concern about the radiation sent out from the nuclear reactor inside the spacecraft. This would be mitigated through the rockets design.To protect people on the ground, the NTP spacecraft would not lift off directly

42、 from Earth, Jeff Sheehy, a NASA scientist, adds. Instead, a regular chemical rocket would carry it into orbit, and only then would it fire up its nuclear reactor. Once in orbit, it could do little harm, as heat radiation cannot move through a vacuum(真空). If disaster hit and the rockets reactor brok

43、e up, the pieces would not land on Earth-or any other planet-for thousands of years. By that time, the radioactive substance would have naturally got to the point where itt wasnt dangerous anymore.Michael Eades, director of engineering at USNC-Tech, says that nuclear-powered rockets would be more po

44、werful and twice as efficient as the chemical engines used today, meaning they could travel further and faster, while burning less fuel. Nuclear-powered rockets will be key to opening up the solar system but it could be at least two decades before they are used widely, he says, adding that numerous

45、demonstrations and tests would need to be carried out before an astronaut is sent to Mars in an NTP rocket.32. What do we know about Mars according to the text?A. It is about 140 million meters away. B. It is burning hot.C. It is rich in oxygen. D. It is challenging to reach.33. What does the underl

46、ined word mitigated in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Shortened. B. Relieved. C. Achieved. D. Simplified.34. What will probably happen after the NTP spacecraft enters its orbit?A. The heat radiation will be kept from moving.B. Its radioactive substance will disappear fast.C. The broken reactor will be left on

47、Mars.D. It wont give out nuclear radiation in space.35. What do Michael Eades words indicate about the NTP spacecraft?A. It will be a breakthrough in space exploration. B. It has been widely used for NASA.C. It will fly to Mars without astronauts for tests. D. It carries more fuel than a regular one

49、s the cornerstone for your development and growth as a human being.Aloneness enhances your creativity. 37 When you are alone, you are more likely to stay true to yourself and try new things that you dont have the courage to do around others. Picasso or Van Gogh wouldnt have created the masterpieces

50、if they hadnt taken enough solitary(独处的) time to experiment regardless of others thoughts.Being alone also prevents you from burning out. Sometimes you may wonder why you easily feel tired. One reason could be riot giving yourself enough solitary time. Especially for people who go to work every day,

51、 it is unavoidable to feel exhausted when you have to deal with work, family, and your own passions at the same time. 38 It doesnt matter how you choose to spend those moments alone.
