Last week, I, together with some of my classmates, participated in an activity with the theme of planting vegetables.
Upon hearing the news, some of us immediately decided to sign up. Then all of the participants were involved in a lecture, during which our teacher taught us some fundamental skills about how to get the vegetables well planted.
Having been fully prepared, we all gathered at our garden plot and attentively sowed the seeds into the field, wishing that they would flourish day by day. During the next few days, we came to see them on schedule, watered them, and exactly wrote down their growth diaries. As we expected, they sprouted and grew up with great energy, and at last, we gained a good harvest. We all smiled delightedly and our monitor took some pictures to memorize this amazing moment.

三、 阅读理解
20. Though there are about 400 languages from all over the world that are in danger of disappearing completely，Zoque-Ayapaneco，a native Mexican language is considered the most likely to become extinct，because the only two people in the world that speak it fluently do not talk to each other!
And，it's not because they live in different countries，states or even villages. In fact，Manuel Segovia and Isidro Velazquez，both in their 70s，live within 500 yards of each other，in the village of Ayapa in the Southern Mexican State of Tabasco. They，however，refuse to communicate because they simply don't have much in common. Segovia is apparently a little flank in nature while Velazquez is described as shy.
Segovia was at least able to talk in Zoque-Ayapanece with his brother until he passed away about 12 years ago，and still manages to practice it with his family，especially his son Manuel，who for the last five years has been trying to learn it and hopes to become fluent enough to teach it to the next generation. Velazquez on the other hand，has not been heard speaking in the language with anybody.
The two men say the language used to be widely spoken in the village，but the younger generation refused to learn it for fear of being laughed at，and it therefore began to die a slow death，as the elders passed away.
Unless the two men get their acts together，the only way to hear the language will be to either listen to Manuel's not--so--fluent statement or see them talk in a documentary entitled “Lengua Muerta” (Dead Language) that is being filmed to capture Zoque Ayapaneco and 364 other native Mexican languages that are in a similar state.
We sure hope Segovia and Velazquez soon find something common to talk about. Maybe the fact is that the language is dying and that they should start encouraging and teaching the next generation together.
29.What do we know about Zoque- Ayapaneco?
A．It was widely used twelve years ago. B．It is a Southern American language.
C．It will be popular in Mexico in the near future. D．It will be dying out if no effective measures are taken.
30.The reason why Segovia and Velazquez don't talk to each other is that ________.
A．they both are too shy B．they have no similarity in their character C．they are too familiar to talk D．they live in different villages 31. From the passage，we can conclude that________.
A．altogether 365 languages are becoming extinct in the world. B．Segovia and Velazquez will communicate with each other soon C．the government cares a lot about the protection of Zoque- Ayapaneco D．we can hear the language from Manuel or documentary “ Lengua Muerta” 32.What's the main idea of the passage?
A．World's endangered languages are being filmed. B．Villagers are trying to protect their old language. C．An endangered language is spoken by only two people. D．There are a lot of languages in Mexico.
参考答案：
29.D 30.B 31.D 32.C

主旨大意题的解题思路与应试技巧
做这类题时常用略读法。快速阅读文章找出各个段落的主题句。把各个段落的主题句联系起来着眼于全文结构安排，了解文章的重心，就能概括出文章的中心。文章的标题是中心思想最精炼的表达形式，选择的标题意义范围要能涵盖全文，不能太大也不能太小。命题者在出这类题时，常常利用生活常识编造干扰项，把文中的细节当主旨，利用局部信息编造干扰项，编制超出文章范围的标题或不能涵盖文章中心意义的标题来考查考生的理解程度，考生要特别留意。
概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词。) 。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。此时，要注意一些转折词，如but, yet, however, although, in spite of, by contrast, on the contrary等。当文章中表示相反的观点时，往往用到这些词。答题时要弄清哪个是作者的观点，排除迷惑性信息，准确归纳主旨大意。
21. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 Are you a compulsive spender, or do you hold on to your money as long as possible? Are you a bargain hunter? Would you rather use charge accounts than pay cash? Your answers to these questions will reflect your personality. According to psychologists, our
individual money habits not only show our beliefs and values, but can also stem from past problems.
Experts in psychology believe that for many people, money is an important symbol of strength and influence. Husbands who complain about their wives’ spending habits may be afraid that they are losing power in their marriage. Wives, on the other hand, may waste huge amounts of money because they are angry at their husbands. In addition, many people consider money a symbol of love. They spend it on their family and friends to express love, or they buy themselves expensive presents because they need love. People can be addicted to different things — for example, alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. They are compulsive in their addictions, i.e. they must satisfy these needs to feel comfortable. In the same way, according to psychologists, compulsive spenders must spend money. For people who buy on credit, furthermore, charge accounts are even more exciting than money: in other words, they feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasures in spending enormous amounts are actually greater than those they get from the things they buy.
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they don’t need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game: when they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason.
It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business: they consider people’s needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, etc. in their advertising and sales methods.
Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy(疗法)” to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that
they have problems with money: they give them “assignments”. If a person buys something in every store that he enters, for instance, a therapist might teach him self-discipline in this way: on the first day of his therapy, he must go into a store, stay five minutes, and then leave. On the second day, he should stay for ten minutes and try something on. On the third day, he stays for fifteen minutes, asks the salesclerk a question, but does not buy anything. Soon he will learn that nothing bad will happen to him if he doesn’t buy anything, and he can solve the problem of his compulsive buying. 50. If you use charge accounts, ____.
A. you pay in cash B. you pay with credit card C. you pay less than you should D. you pay more than you should 51. Compulsive bargain hunters buy things for all the following reasons except that ____. A. the things they buy are cheap
B. they believe they can balance their budgets C. they get psychological satisfaction D. they really need the things they buy 52. Behavior therapy in this case aims at____. A. helping businessmen to increase their business B. helping compulsive spenders to buy less
C. finding out how people will react if they are allowed to buy D. finding out what people will do in front of a bargain 53. The underlined word “those” in Paragraph 3 refers to ____. A. different things B. their addictions
C. charge accounts D. their pleasures[Z+X+X+K] 54. From the passage we can conclude that ____.
A. how you spend money reveals if you are psychologically healthy B. money is a necessity and will bring you happiness if you have much C. compulsive buying problems can be solved by taking some medicine D. all businessmen understand well the psychology of customers 参考答案： BDBDA
