2．For many years，scientists and animal lovers have worked to make the world safer for endangered species.Now，there is something that needs protection from these protected animals—a famous French cheese called Roquefort，known as the "King of Cheeses".
Roquefort is made from sheep's milk in the southern part of the French mountains.Farmers have been making Roquefort for thousands of years，and they follow many rules when making it，to be sure that it is done in the traditional way.One of the rules is that they must let their sheep live freely in the mountains.
However，following these rules has become very dangerous.Wolves have moved into the area，and they have killed 62 sheep.The wolves are an endangered species，and have not been seen in the French mountains since the 1920s.No one is allowed to kill the wolves，but the farmers are now saying it is impossible for their sheep to live in the same mountains as the wolves.Farmers have dogs to protect the sheep and have also built electric fences（電柵欄），but they say they will not have enough money to continue making Roquefort once they have spent it all on keeping their sheep safe.Many people have said that wolves that attack sheep should be killed，since they have become a threat to the farmer's jobs.Others think that anyone who wants the wolves killed is trying to make them become extinct.
Maybe it would not be a problem if Roquefort became extinct instead，and the wolves were able to live in the mountains.But then the farmers would not have jobs.Will the people of Southern France be able to find a way that protects both the wolves and the King of Cheeses？Let's wait and see.
（1）What can we learn about Roquefort？
A．It is produced in many places in France.
B．It has been made in modern ways.
C．It has a long history.
D．It is easy to make.

D．They are killed by people.

A．They can't afford to make the cheese.
B．They have no time to make the cheese.
C．They have no idea how to sell the cheese.
D．They can't produce the cheese with high quality.
（4）What do people think of the wolves？

B．They support leaving the wolves as they are.
C．They are divided on the ways of protecting the wolves.
D．They hold different ideas about how to deal with the wolves.組卷：0引用：2難度：0.5 -
3．Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years，but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers，small，tightly knit（聯(lián)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 1，200 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 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 Americas about 1000.Africa 2，400 and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3，200，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.The median number（中位數(shù)）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，with only a few elderly speakers left.Pick，at random，Busuu in Cameroon（eight remaining speakers）.Chiapaneco in Mexico （150），Lipan Apache in the United States （two or three） or Wadjigu in Australia （one，with a question-mark）：none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
（1）What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times？
A．They developed very fast.
B．They were large in number.
C．They had similar patterns.
D．They were closely connected.
（2）Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？
A．Complex.
B．Advanced.
C．Powerful.
D．Modern.
（3）How many languages are spoken by less than 6，000 people at present？
A．About 6，800.
B．About 3，400.
C．About 2，400.
D．About 1，200.
（4）What is the main idea of the text？
A．New languages will be created.
B．People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C．Human development results in fewer languages.
D．Geography determines language evolution.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5 -
4．The world's first jet suit-wearing medic（穿噴氣服的醫(yī)生）could be coming to the Lake District in the United Kingdom.
Using the jet suit，a 25-minute hike was changed into a flight lasting just 90 seconds，according to the Great North Air Ambulance Service（GNAAS），which worked on the project with jet suit producer Gravity Industries.
The jet suit could be a game changer given the dangerous geographical characteristics in the area，which is popular with hikers.
"We think this technology could allow our team to reach some patients much quicker than ever before，" Andy Mawson，director of operations at GNAAS，said. "In some cases this would save patients' lives."
GNAAS and Gravity Industries were in talks for a year ahead of the planned test，which was carried out at the Langdale Pikes，with Gravity Industries founder Richard Browning flying from the bottom to a simulated casualty site（模擬事故現(xiàn)場）on top of a hill.
The Lake District is home to some of England's highest mountains.Mawson thought the Lakes，in northern England，would be a good place for the test after studying emergency call data（緊急救援電話）.
"It showed many patients every month within the small area，" said Mawson. "We could see the need.What we didn't know for sure was how this would work in practice.Well，we've seen it now and it is，quite honestly，great." Mawson believes the jet suit will play an important role in providing critical care（緊急救援） for people in faraway areas.
Browning said it was a "wonderful" experience to work with GNAAS. "This is just the beginning in terms of what is possible to achieve with our technology，" said Browning. "Dealing with emergencies is one of the areas Gravity are actively working on."
Browning told CNN about his jet suit invention in 2018.He built it using 3 D-printed parts，specialist electronics and five jet engines.Once you learn about the basics，you can fly at speeds of 32 miles per hour.Importantly，it can also be used safely without having to fly too high.
（1）What is the jet suit expected to do？
A．Prevent hikers from injuring themselves.
B．Take the place of traditional hospitals.
C．Reach a patient much sooner.
D．Change the sport of hiking.
（2）Why was the Lake District chosen for the jet suit test？
A．Because patient there get no medical help.
B．Because it was safe to carry out the test there.
C．Because the highest mountains in the UK are there.
D．Because there is a need for emergency service there.
（3）Which of the following would Mawson agree with？
A．The jet suit has a promising future.
B．It is hard for the jet suit to work in practice.
C．More work should be done to improve the jet suit.
D．It is hard to find the patient in the Lake District.
（4）What advantage does the jet suit have？
A．It is easy to use.
B．It is faster than cars.
C．It has been widely used.
D．It uses 3 D-printed engines.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5
