浙江省舟山市2018年中考英语试卷

阅读下面四篇材料,然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

    Every 14 days, another language dies. There are many reasons for this. Some people think more common languages have more economic(经济的) if power. Because of this, young people choose to learn a common language as they think it is more useful. Another reason is that some languages aren't written down. Guujaaw is a leader of the Haida Nation, whose people have lived on the Queen Charlotte Islands, Canada, for more than 10,000 years. Their language is endangered. Traditionally, it wasn't written down, and, as a result, some people are worried that it will die one day. Guujaaw replies to this, "We talk to each other, listen, visit and believe in the spoken word. Expressing yourself without writing is natural. However, if Guujaaw's language and others like it are going to stay alive, writing may have to become part of their lives.

    When a language dies, a lot of knowledge dies with it. To begin with, language is a huge part of the culture of the people who speak it. Language allows speakers to say certain things: words that describe a cultural idea may not translate exactly into another language. Furthermore, many endangered languages have rich spoken cultures. Stories, songs and histories are passed on from older people to younger generations(一代). Elizabeth Lindsey, an expert in languages, emphasizes(强调) this. "When an elder dies, a library is burned," she says.

    Also, language death affects our knowledge about nature. Local people often have a deep understanding of plants, animals, and the relationship between them. David Harrison, a researcher on endangered languages, reflects, "80% of plant and animal species(物种)have been undiscovered by science. But that doesn't mean they're unknown to humans."

    Many languages are endangered. However, it's not too late. Children often grow up speaking two languages.“ No one… becomes richer by giving up… one language to learn another,” Harrison said. If children feel both languages are important, they will use both. So, it is necessary that children realize how useful their local language is.

(1)、How many reasons are mentioned for endangered languages in Paragraph 1?
A、2 B、3 C、4 D、5
(2)、In Paragraph 2, the writer mainly tells us _________.
A、how cultures are passed on B、how cultures are discovered C、why languages are written down D、why languages are important to cultures
(3)、The underlined word "affects" in the passage means _______.
A、waits for B、depends on C、is different from D、has an influence on
(4)、Which of the following is the writer's opinion?
A、People need to use common languages more often. B、The spoken word is more important than the written word. C、Children are the hope to stop the local language from dying. D、Many animals and plants are in danger because of dying languages.

 阅读下列短文,从下面每题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

The Feyman Technique(费曼学习法) was developed by Nobel Prize-winning physicist(物理学家) Richard Feynman. It's a study method that helps students learn by teaching others. 

 The Feyman Technique has been one of the most effective study methods for many years. For one thing, it helps students really understand something instead of just memorizing information. Plus, unlike traditional study methods like re-reading textbooks or reviewing notes. it pushes students to be more actively mvolved(参与) u n the learning process, 

 If you want to use the Feynman Technique to study better, follow these steps. To begin with, choose a topic you want to learn, including sub-topics(子主题). If not, you' ll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them. 

 The second step is the heart of the Feynman Technique: explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student. This requires you to help the child understand by using the simplest and clearest language. This step helps divide indigestible topics into their most basic parts. 

Next, review your explanation and try to find any area where you felt that you couldn't explain the topic simply. When possible, it can be very helpful to get advice from someone whose understanding is similar to that of a sixth-grader. 

The fourth step is to improve your explanation using the information collected from the third step. Finally, repeat the steps. The Feynman Technique works best with repetition, and that is why going through all the prior(先前的) steps just once is usually not enough to fully understand the topic. 

 Once you' re confident you' ve learned the topic, it's time to give yourself-a prize. Perhaps, like me, enjoy a nice cup of coffee.

The best part for me was the Mammals exhibition. There are many kinds of animals that you may never seen anywhere. Another favourite is the dinosaur exhibition. They looked so real that I could even imagine their daily lives.
