2．People speak English in different parts of the world.The same words can be used in different ways，depending on where you live.People can also have completely different ways of saying the same thing.
The Oxford English Dictionary（OED）is asking the public to help it add new words.Editors want to find the regional differences in English around the world.They want to expand its record of the language.
Last year，the OED，BBC Radio and the Forward Arts Foundation teamed up to find local words in the United Kingdom.It resulted in more than 100 regional words and phrases being added to the dictionary.One was "cuddy wifter"，which means a left-handed person.
Now，the OED is widening its search to English speakers around the world.Eleanor Maier，an editor at OED，said the response has been great.Editors are listing a bunch of suggestions to include in the dictionary.
These include Hawaii's "hammajang"，which means "in a disorderly state".Another is the word for a swimming costume， "dookers" or "duckers".It is used in Scotland.
The OED also might include the word "frog-drowner"，which Americans might use to describe a downpour of rain.Another possibility is "brick".It means "very cold" to people in New Jersey and New York City.
The dictionary has already found that，depending on location，a picture hanging off center might be described as "agley".It might also be called "calawampous" or "ahoo".
"The OED aims to cover all types of English，" Maier said.That includes scientific words，slang and regional language.Maier also said that it can be difficult for the OED's editors to identify regional words.The terms are more often spoken than written down.
The appeal is called Words Where You Are.It is looking for more suggests. "We were surprised and pleased by the number of regional words we were able to include，" said Maier.
（1）"Freezing" is closest in meaning to "".

D．a(chǎn)hoo
（2）Which local word of the following is most likely from regions of the United Kingdom？

D．brick
（3）What can be inferred from the passage？
A．It is challenging to create a complete collection of regional words.
B．People are not committed to responding to the appeal for regional words.
C．People use regional words only when they are home or with close friends.
D．Having an understanding of regional words can be helpful when communicating.
（4）Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage？

3．It is widely believed that biodiversity（生物多樣性）is promoted to save species.But in reality species exist only as part of ecosystems and cannot survive unless their ecosystems are protected along with as much as possible of the diversity they contain.
Protecting habitats（棲息地）is important for keeping biodiversity.In 2003，over 102，000 habitats covering nearly 19 million square kilometers，or 11.5% of the world's land surface，were under some form of protection.Though this is a great improvement since 1962，when just 1，000 protected habitats were listed，it is still not considered enough to stop the ecocide that is endangering the world's biodiversity.
For a number of environmentalist，protecting the world's 25 biodiversity hotspots（熱點地區(qū)） is critical to saving habitats and species.But many hotspots are endangered already，having lost up to three-quarters of their original plants.
The poor state of most biodiversity hotspots results directly from population growth and migration（遷移） into these areas.A study found that by the mid-1990s around 1.1 billion people lived in these hotspots.Moreover，the annual population growth rate in these areas was 1.8%，higher than the global average of 1.4%.The PAI report concluded that human-related environmental changes will continue to put pressure on hotspots.Therefore，keeping biodiversity requires paying close attention to population size.
Protecting hotspots is not simply a matter of putting up fences and employing guards.The best results are achieved when local people are educated about the value of wildlife，and actually gain a share of the benefits from eco-tourism.Only then do they have a chance to see the benefits of protecting hotpots.
（1）What can we infer from paragraph 1？
A．The loss of any species can affect humans.
B．Endangered species are paid more attention to by humans.
C．Species can still survive when their ecosystems are destroyed.
D．Ecosystem protection is as important as diversity protection.
（2）What does the underlined word "ecocide" in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Ecosystem protection.
B．Reduction of the number of species.
C．Serious damage to habitats.
D．Habitats protection.
（3）What's the direct cause of the terrible state of the hotspots？
A．Population growth in hotpots.
B．Migration out of these areas.
C．Global warming.
D．The global average population growth rate.
（4）What's the author's opinion on protecting the hotspots？
A．It's simple to carry out.
B．It leads to the increase of tourists.
C．It's closely connected with local people.
D．It suggests that the local people are well educated.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5 -
4．People eat more when they are glued to the television，and the more entertaining the program，the more they eat，according to new research.
It seems that distracted（分心的）brains do not notice what the mouth is doing，said Dr.Alan Hirsch，neurological director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago.Hirsch explored the effect of smell，taste and eating behaviors while watching TV by measuring the number of potato chip eaten.
Forty-five volunteers ate as many chips as they wanted while they watched programs by late-night talk show hosts David Letterman and Jay Leno.They also were given chips to eat when the television was off.Hirsch found people ate an average of 44 percent more chips while watching Letterman and 42 percent more while viewing Leno，than when they did not watch TV.
"If you can concentrate on how the food tastes you'll eat less because you'll feel full faster，" Hirsch said in an interview at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in Toronto. "So if that's the case，let's look at the opposite.What if you're distracted？If you're distracted，in theory，then you'd eat more."
Through his research at the foundation，Hirsch has helped people overcome the loss of sense and taste sensation，which typically results in weight gain because the brain does not know when it should stop eating.
The ventromedial nucleus（腹內(nèi)側(cè)核） in the hypothalamus（丘腦下部），where the so-called satiety（飽足） center is located，tells the body whether it is hungry or full.If it is stopped or ticked，the result can be changed in eating patterns，he said，"People who cook spaghetti all day don't feel like eating spaghetti at the end of the day，" said Hirsch. "By being exposed to a smell all day long it's tricking the hypothalamus."
Volunteers were asked to concentrate on the sensory characteristics of the food such as taste and smell.Researchers say these sensory taste and smell，in addition to internal body changes，signal satiety.But when distracted，a person does not pay attention to either the body's sensations of feeling full，or to the sensory characteristics of the food.
Many studies have linked obesity to watching television and that link is likely due to inactivity，Hirsch said.But perhaps entertaining shows are also contributing. "If you want to lose weight，turn off the television or watch something boring，" he said.
（1）What does the underlined word "glued to" in Paragraph 1 mean？
A．a(chǎn)way from.
B．performing in.
C．close to.
D．lost in.
（2）How did Hirsch carry out the research？
A．By watching people eat.
B．By interviewing people.
C．By counting how many chips people eat.
D．By observing how people watch television.
（3）What do Hirsch's words in Para 6 mean？
A．They think spaghetti unhealthy.
B．They have smelt spaghetti enough.
C．They don't like eating spaghetti.
D．Spaghetti has affected the hypothalamus.
（4）What's the main idea of this passage？
A．People eat more when watching TV.
B．It is not good for our health to eat chips.
C．People enjoy eating while watching TV.
D．How people can enjoy the TV programs.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5
