When the world was still populated by huntergatherers, 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, industrialisation, the development of the nationstate and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation 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 1，000; 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 (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the worlds 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 (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a questionmark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了全球语言多样性的发展变化以及现在所面临的危机。5What can we infer about languages in huntergatherer times?AThey developed very fast.BThey were large in number.CThey had similar patterns. DThey were closely connected.B解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句“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”可知，在狩猎时代，人口少，语言却很丰富，故选B。6Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?AComplex. BAdvanced. CPowerful. DModern.C解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“In recent centuries.all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over”可知，近几个世纪以来，随着社会的发展，很多语言已经消失，英语、西班牙语、汉语逐渐占主导地位。complex“复杂的”；advanced“高级的，先进的”；powerful“有影响力的”；modern“现代的”。故选C。7How many languages are spoken by less than 6，000 people at present?AAbout 6，800. BAbout 3，400. CAbout 2，400. DAbout 1，200.B解析：数字计算题。根据第三段最后一句“The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000，which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that”可知，目前全球不同语言使用人数的中位数仅是6 000，这就意味着世界上有一半的语言的使用人数不到6 000；结合第三段第一句“At present，the world has about 6，800 languages”可知，选B。8What is the main idea of the text?ANew languages will be created. BPeoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.CHuman development results in fewer languages. DGeography determines language evolution.C解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句中的“but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going”和第二段可知，随着人类社会的发展，尤其是工业化、全球化以来，很多语言已经消失，即人类的发展使得语言的种类越来越少。故选C。 七选五(2019江西赣中五校高三联考)More and more people are working remotely.Here are some tips to keep in mind to stay focused on your work when working at home：Set and keep regular office hours.1_Then try your best to leave work at the“office” and turn your phone on silent and enjoy the rest of your day.Give yourself some time to recharge so you can be as productive as possible.Plan and structure your workdays.Structure your workdays to maximize(使最大化) efficiency.Take advantage of your bodys natural rhythms.2._ If you know you focus best in the morning，resist the temptation to check email until 10 am.or later.Set aside a designated(指定的) work area.Try to work at the same spot every day.3._And make it a place you enjoy going to each day，an area where you can focus and do your best work.Take breaks.Schedule time for frequent breaks throughout the day.Rise from your desk，stretch or walk around the house or down the street.4._If you need social activities，go out to lunch with friends or clients.Avoid distractions(使人分心的事)One challenge of working at home is distraction.With no colleagues or partners nearby，its easy to become distracted.Stay focused on work throughout the day to maintain consistent productivity.5._AIt could be a spare bedroom that youve turned into a home office.BPlan your work around your most productive hours.CDo your best to set work hours and stick to them.DTake a lunch break and enjoy a midday meal.EIt is more comfortable to stay at home.FSome interruptions cant be avoided.GAvoid online distractions as well.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了五种在家工作时如何保持注意力集中的方法。1C解析：根据本段的小标题“Set and keep regular office hours.”可知，此处与工作时间的设定有关，所以选C项。2B解析：根据本段的小标题“Plan and structure your workdays.”可推知，此处与工作计划有关，并与本段第一句“Structure your workdays to maximize(使最大化) efficiency.”呼应，所以选B项。3A解析：根据本段小标题“Set aside a designated(指定的) work area.”可知，此处表示家庭办公区的设定和安排，所以选A项。4D解析：根据本段第一句“Schedule time for frequent breaks throughout the day.”并结合小标题“Take breaks.”可推知，工作期间适当休息一下有助于集中注意力，所以选D项。5G解析：根据本段小标题“Avoid distractions(使人分心的事)”可推知，网上使人分心的内容也是集中注意力所需要避免的，所以选G项。 语法填空(2019成都高中毕业班摸底测试)One day in 1998，I went to visit my 90yearold grandma in a nursing home.She had lived there for 15 years.But it was becoming a little bit sad，partly because the place was full of people who 1._(be) at the last stage of their life.Whats 2._(bad)，it was taking her longer and longer 3._(recognize) me.She was really excited that day because they were having a dance party.I was not a big fan of dancing, 4._I was a big fan of Grandma，so I accepted her 5._(invite)During the party，an old lady 6._(sit) next to me chatted with me，saying how much she loved music and dancing.Not knowing 7._ to say，I stood up and invited her for a dance.I danced with all the ladies, 8._(particular) with Grandma，which was awesome.However，I fel
