    can do your homework more quickly. Learning to study is not difficult.

         Endangered languages are languages that wouldn't exist any longer, much like endangered species of
    plants or animals. Languages are considered to be endangered when parents are no longer teaching the l
    anguage to their children and are not using it actively in everyday life. A language is considered to nearly
    disappear when it is spoken by only a few elderly native speakers.
         The world faces enormous challenges in order to protect different kinds of languages. Of the more than 6,912 languages, half may be in danger of disappearing in the next several decades.
         It is caused by many reasons: small numbers of speakers, the regular use of other languages, attitudes
    towards their languages, moving of the younger population, government policies, and languages used in
    education and so on. A language may lack important things such as a body of literature, and people who
    read and write it. A language may also lack prestige (声望) and support of its speakers.
         The survival of a language is also threatened when speakers move to other areas where different
    languages are spoken, or when government policies improve the use of a specific language in school,
    official business and the media. These situations encourage people to learn the wider-known language
    and may cause them, especially the young, to stop using their mother tongue. Often those speaking
    lesser-known languages will choose to learn a more prestigious language with the hope of greater
    economic opportunities. Most of the world's parents are teaching their children English, French, Spanish,
    Chinese, Arabic, Russian or some other main languages instead of their own languages for social and
    economic reasons.
    1.What's the main idea of this passage?
    A. Languages in the world.            
    B. Reasons why languages become endangered.
    C. What an endangered language is.      
    D. Languages spoken by few speakers.
    2. About ________languages will probably disappear in this century according to the passage.
    A. more than 6,912  
    B. more than 3,456      
    C. 6,912
    D. less than 3,456
    3.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
    ①=Paragraph1②=Paragraph2  ③=Paragraph3  ④=Paragraph4
    4.We can infer that the best way to maintain an endangered language is to _________.
    A.forbid the speakers to move about              
    B.pass laws to protect the language
    C.raise the salaries of the people who speak the language
    D.teach the language to young children and encourage people to speak it often
    5.All of the following about languages are true EXCEPT __________.
    A.many languages will be probably endangered in this century
    B.government policies have a big effect on languages
    C.the endangered language is a language that is spoken by a few people
    D.languages are related to their speakers' social and economic position

         The Internationa1 Space Station allows astronauts to live in space for extended amounts of time, 
    enabling them to explore the outside universe and conduct many experiments. However, nothing like
    that exists for our oceans, and thanks to the high water pressure, ocean researchers are able to explore
    what lies undersea for very short periods of time.
         They are therefore never able to fully explore the deep inside areas of our oceans. However, if
    French architect Jacques Rougerie has his way, that will change soon.
         Jacques has designed a ship that will allow researchers to spend a long period of time observing the
    sea life and conducting experiments. The huge l67ft. ship, named 'Sea Orbiter', consists of two areas-one
    above the water where the scientists and crew will live, and a lower pressurized deck (甲板), where
    scientists will be able to spend as much time as they wish. Since it is powered by sea currents and wind,
    he expects it to drift (漂流) along the oceans slowly, taking about two years to circumvent the globe.
         Jacques will make their life as comfortable as possible in the ship. Besides being equipped with the
    latest sailing tools and communication equipment, the ship will also have a gym, a television and a DVD
    player! And these guys will not be eating freeze-dried food like astronauts. Instead, Jacques, an accomplished chef, plans on cooking them delicious meals every day.
         The biggest problem to this giant ship is the cost, which is expected to be over $500 million-per ship!
    However, Jacques, who strongly believes that the secrets of our oceans may be the key to solving global
    warming and a vital supply for food and medicine in the future, is confident he will be able to convince
    governments all over the world to help out, and expects to start construction on not one, but four or five
    of these amazing ships soon!
    1. Why can't ocean researchers explore the deep oceans for a long time?
    A. Because they can't stand the high water pressure.
    B. Because it's too cold in deep ocean.
    C. Because time for experiments is too limited.
    D. Because it's dangerous to observe the sea life.
    2. The underlined word "circumvent " probably means      .
    A. fly away    
    B. go around    
    C. travel through    
    D. move into
    3. From the fourth paragraph we can learn that      .
    A. Jacques intends to design the ship mainly for sightseeing and traveling
    B. living a comfortable life helps to do the ocean research quickly
    C. it's much more expensive to eat freeze-dried food
    D. researchers on Jacques ' ship will live more comfortably than astronauts
    4. In Jacques' opinion, which of the following is not the purpose of the undersea research?
    A. To find supply for food in the future.
    B. To find supply for medicine in the future.
    C. To draw governments' attention to the construction of the ship.
    D. To solve the global warming.
    5. Which of the fol1owing would be the best title for the text?
    A. Sea Orbiter-the ship of the future    
    B. A new way to explore the deep oceans
    C. A great architect-Jacques Rogerie    
    D. Travel around the globe in Sea Orbiter

         Australia has passed regulations that will enable more international students to further their education in
    the country.    The new measures were released by the Australian Department of Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations in September and will take effect in mid-2012.    As a result, the student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified, and the deposit (押金) required to study in Australia has been reduced. Language requirements for overseas students have also been eased.   
           Also, overseas students receiving a higher education in Australia will be granted a working visa lasting from two tofour years after graduation, as long as they meet the basic IELTS requirement.    "This change will definitely make Australia a more attractive destination for Chinese students planning to study overseas," says Wang Lan , a consultant from Education International Cooperation Group (EIC), a Beijing-based
    company that provides services to students wishing to study overseas.    However, in the past few years,
    many of Wang's student clients (客户) could not start studies in Australia because they did not meet the
    language requirements, visa processing took a long time and deposit regulations were tough. The change
    in policy is good news for the parents of students wishing to study in Australia, Wang says.   
            A 22-year-old female student surnamed Li, in Beijing, who is planning to do her  postgraduate
    studies in Australia, learned about the policy change several weeks ago.    "According to the previous
    deposit requirement for my student visa, my family was required to put down 550,000 yuan ($86,850).
    Now we only need to prepare 410,000 yuan. This is a relief for my parents," Li says.
          She also says that the two to four years working visa makes her feel much clearer about her study plans.    "I believe several years of working experience abroad will strengthen my competitiveness when I
    return to China," she says.    Gaining a competitive advantage is the major reason for Chinese students to
    study abroad, according to the report by EIC.
    1. What's the main idea of the passage?  
    A. Language requirement for overseas students have been eased in Australia.
    B. Australia is a most attractive place for students in China.
    C. Australia widens window of opportunity for international students.
    D. More students will work in Australia after their graduation.
    2. Which of the following is NOT the content of the new regulations?  
    A. The student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified.
    B. The deposit required to study in Australia has been reduced.
    C. Language requirements for overseas students have been more difficult.
    D. After graduation, some overseas students can get a working visa in Australia.
    3. After the new regulations are passed, _______ .   
    A. more students will come to Australia to work
    B. more Chinese students will choose to live in Australia.
    C. the opportunities to work in Australia decrease for overseas students
    D. more Chinese students will choose to further their education in Australia
    4. How much can Li's parents save according to the new regulations?  
    A. 550,000 yuan
    B. 140,000 yuan
    C. 410,000 yuan
    D. 86,850 yuan
    5. Why do many students want to work in Australia after their graduation? 
    A. The working experience abroad will strengthen their competitiveness.
    B. They can earn more money in Australia.
    C. Their working experience can make them stay in Australia forever.
    D. They have to do so according to the new regulations.
