Cory Nichols’ whole life changed after he watched the documentary (纪录片) Hard Times: Lost on Long Island. This documentary follows four different families over six months as they struggle with unemployment. Cory knew he had to help any way that he could.
He founded an organization named “C the Difference”. The first step of his charity was to advertise. Using his own money, Cory had orange bracelets (手链) made. Now, he has sold the bracelets. A lot of people who are willing to donate bought them. “We’ve gotten donations from $5 to $500,” Cory said. “Every dollar really helps.”
Since founding the organization “C the Difference”, Cory has gotten the word out through e-mail and social media. He has managed to get upwards of $7,500, and the amount will keep rising each month. For Cory, his work is truly rewarding, and he loves knowing that people less fortunate than him are really benefiting from all the donations.
Once he said, “I was in the pantry (食品室) one time when a woman was taking food, and she was grateful for what I was doing. That made me feel great.”
Cory’s work has been truly remarkable. These past years he was recognized for “C the Difference” and was a recipient (获得者) of the New York State Prudential Spirit of Community Award. Cory was honored when he found out the news, and even more shocked when he found out that he was one of only 102 winners out of the 28,000 applicants. As a recipient, Cory got to travel to Washington D.C. with the other winners.
There are bright things in Cory’s future. First, he wants to keep doing well in school. “I think school is really important to be successful in life.” In addition, Cory wants to keep “C the Difference” going through high school. “I am continuing to get donations, and to get younger kids and my peers involved to help each month.” 34.

Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent time there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalization and better communications in the past few
decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant (占优势的) languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the America about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Cuinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (8 remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (2 or 3) or Wadjigu in Australia (1, with a question-mark); none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
38. What can we learn about language development from the passage? A. Globalization has brought about more new languages. B. Settling down makes people develop more kinds of languages. C. Education is one of the reasons for some languages’ disappearance. D. Around 1,000 languages only have a few elderly speakers left.
39. What does he underlined word “ uneven” in Paragraph 3 probably means A. Not equal. C. Not limited.
B. Not narrow. D. Not good.
40. About how many kinds of languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present? A. 6,800. C. 3,400.
41. What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A. Human being has created a great number of languages. B. Language disappearance leads to the extinction of some cultures. C. Geography is one factor of language evolution. D. Globalized events cause languages to be fewer.
B. 2,400. D. 1,200.
D
You can take fish oil supplements (补充剂). You can invest in a language class, books, or a few hours of exercise every week. There are countless methods to improve your memory. But the cheapest, easiest, and most time-tested
way to make your brain think is—reading. There’s something astonishing about how such an ordinary activity can improve your brain in so many ways.
The most basic impact occurs in the area associated with language reception in your brain. Processing written material—from the letters to the words to the sentences to the stories themselves—get the neurons (神经元) to attention as they start the work of transporting all that information. “Typically, when you read, you have more time to think.” says Maryanne Wolf, director of the UCLA Center for Diverse Learners. “Reading gives you a unique pause button for comprehension and insight. By and large, with oral language—when you watch a film or listen to a tape—you don’t press pause.”
And the benefits of reading continue long after you’ve put down that great book. A small study at Emory University found that some of those benefits lasted for five days. “We call that a shadow activity, almost like a muscle memory,” says Gregory Berns, PhD, director of the Center for Neuron Policy at Emory.
OK, you say, it’s hardly surprising that the language part of the brain would get a workout from reading. But reading also makes the region responsible for motor activity—the central sulcus (沟)—energetic. That’s because the brain is a play actor. You may not actually be riding a horse when you’re reading Seabiscuit, but your brain acts as if it is. And the more parts of your brain that get a workout, the better it is for your overall cognitive (认知的) performance. Generally speaking, close literary reading, like a Jane Austen novel, in particular gives your brain a major workout, as opposed to the more limited effects that come from more leisurely reading.
What if you are a poor, or even a dyslexic reader who feels as if you’ll never be able to read enough to gain these benefits? The study shows the ability to read closely is something that needs to be developed. In her new book, Reader, Come Home, Wolf notes that even she, who reads for a living, has found her ability to concentrate on the written word weakening as more of what we read is on a screen. That sets up a negative cycle: Without the continuing exercise of our reading “muscles”, the brain loses its ability to control the complex processes that allow us to read deeply.
Of course, there’s an easy solution: Turn off your phone and your computer, set aside a good hour or two — and just read.
42. Which is NOT TRUE about readings?
A. Reading and speaking can equally make our brain sharp. B. The benefits of reading don’t disappear immediately.
C. Reading classics can exercise our brain more than daily newspapers. D. We should avoid too much reading on our mobile phones. 43. The book Seabiscuit in Paragraph 4 is probably about ________.
A. how our brain works in reading C. how to exercise and keep fit
B. the life story of Jane Austen D. the story of a champion racing horse
44. What does the underlined word “dyslexic” in Paragraph 5 probably means? A. Active C. Difficult
45. The passage is written to ________.
A. show how to improve your reading comprehension B. assess the results of keeping long—time reading C. analyze the function of different parts of our brain D. explain the benefits of reading on our brain
B. Enthusiastic D. Careful
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
We’ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and that may actually be true. A study of more than 50,000 adults aged 30 and older found that breakfast eaters were more likely to lose weight than those who didn’t eat a morning meal. To have a satisfying and nutritious breakfast, these tips will help you really rise and shine:
Eat even if you’re not hungry.
Although you might not feel like eating first thing in the morning, it’s a good idea to get something into your system. Eating within 90 minutes of waking up will jump- start your body and keep you from getting hungry later. ___46___
Go boring.
Varying what you eat is a good idea in theory. ___47___A 2014 British study found that people who allowed their breakfast calories to rise and fall (as measured by a five-day diet diary) had larger waists than folks who kept their morning calorie intake constant, no matter how much they ate the rest of the day.
Go big.
There’s an old saying that advises “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a beggar.” It’s worth following. According to a study of 93 overweight women, those who ate a balanced 700-calorie breakfast over a 12-week period lowered their blood sugar and blood pressure two times more than people who ate a 200-calorie meal. ___48___ Always pick a protein.
A review of recent studies in the health journal Advances in Nutrition found the function of protein.
___49___Shapiro recommends eggs, nut butter, or cheese (which is generally a little lower in sugar than yogurt) to give your breakfast a protein boost.
Embrace fat.
Actually, fat isn’t the main enemy to weight loss success—sugar is. Fat is digested slowly by the body and helps decrease the rate at which we digest and break down carbohydrates (碳水化合物). ___50___So you need some fat (at least 1 to 2 percent) to help your body absorb those nutrients more efficiently. A. It can also dissolve and break down vitamins A and D. B. Just a banana will do the trick.
C. A variety of foods are mouth-watering and full of nutrition. D. The breakfast needs to be high in protein.
E. But you’d better stick with the same old menu for your weight. F. They also lost an average of 19.2 pounds.
G. High level of it in breakfast can reduce hunger later in the day.
