21、As one of the most-widely used languages in the world, English is thought to be much easier to learn than others. Now Limor Raviv, a researcher at the Max Planck Institute,is trying to find why.

Raviv designed an experiment and asked groups of different sizes to create a new language to describe different scenes. During the experiment, the"speakers" saw a scene on their screen and then typed in nonsense words to describe it Then the "listener,"would guess it by selecting one of eight scenes on their own screen. The group could receive one point for every successful guess. Raviv discovered that group size affected the result The larger groups created languages with more systematic（系统的） grammars than the smaller ones，which mad it easier to guess the meanings of new words.She concluded from the experiment that the size of a community affects the development of a language.

Other studies also show languages spoken in larger communities usually have more systematic grammatical structures. The reason is to solve the difficulty in communicating with more people that they are unfamiliar with.Then it will make the language simple."When there's more contact with strangers, the language will become easier.Languages developed by large communities enable strangers to immediately use their languages and understand each other" Raviv said.

Although English might have a larger vocabulary, its grammatical structure is relatively easy to follow. This is why the structure of English is quite simple when compared to many other languages. So today,English is widely spoken and over one billion people speak it as a second language. After all,it's really easy to learn.

【1】How did the "listeners"win the points in the experiment?

A．By choosing the right scenes.

B．By drawing the same shapes

C．By speaking out the correct rules.

D．By typing in the suitable words

【2】What can we infer about the experiment result?

A．All groups formed similar grammar systems

B．The smalle groups created more useful words

C．Each group folowed the same grammar rules.

D．The larger groups had more successful guesses

【3】What makes English widely spoken according the text?

A．A large vocabulary.

B．Easy pronunciations

C．Simple grammars

D．Regular communication

22、Directions：Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. 【1】 Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.

“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components,” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. 【2】 “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.

They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of inter-dependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems.

While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, 【3】 “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.

Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. 【4】 “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,”

A. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications.

B. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components.

C. There used to be few ways like this to study how insects fly.

D. There are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives humans on a day-to-day basis.

E. Thus, it might some day perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield.

F. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly.

23、If you’re looking to spend an afternoon with coffee and cute dogs, there’s a new cafe in Silver Lake designed to help you do just that. It’s called the Dog Cafe, and its owner   is describing it as the first such cafe in the U.S.

The idea is to create a new way for people to adopt shelter dogs. Customers are able to buy a coffee or tea drink, then sit in an adjacent(相邻的) dog area, where they can play with dogs from a nearby shelter. All of the dogs in the area are up for adoption.

Sarah Wolfgang, the cafe’s founder and owner, said she was inspired by the animal cafes found in South Korea, but notes that the dogs in those cafes came from puppy mills(幼犬繁殖厂).

Her Dog Cafe focuses on “saving dogs who have been at the shelter the longest because of health or behavioral problems and are at the highest risk of being euthanized( 使安乐死),” according to the cafe’s website.

The coffee shop of the cafe has drinks made with products from Grounds & Hounds Coffee Co. and Dogs Drink Coffee (both give some of the money they make to animals in need): pour-over coffee, teas, lattes and flavored lemonades. Because of the nearness to dogs, there isn’t any food served at the cafe. There is an area selling dog goods.

Admission to the dog area is $10 per person for a 55-minute block of time. You can make a booking and find a full list of dogs for adoption on the cafe’s website. The Dog Cafe area and coffee shop is open Tuesday to Sunday from 11 am to 7 pm.

【1】What’s Sarah Wolfgang’s purpose of opening the Dog Cafe?

A．To encourage adoption of dogs.

B．To help people get on with dogs.

C．To produce coffee for dogs.

D．To buy and sell dogs.

【2】Sarah Wolfgang’s idea of the Dog Cafe came from ________.

A．her strong love for wild animals

B．a visit to a nearby dog shelter

C．the animal cafes in South Korea

D．her plan to run the first animal cafe

【3】What do we know about the dogs Sarah wants to save?

A．They will be killed for meat.

B．They are dangerous to customers.

C．They are badly treated at the shelter.

D．They have health or behavioral problems.

【4】What can you do in the Dog Cafe?

A．Order some food.

B．Enjoy free coffee.

C．Buy dog goods.

D．Enter the dog area free.

24、Journey

Brief Introduction

The story is about a girl who's bored and can't get anyone in her family to play with her. She goes to her room feeling sad, but discovers a bright red crayon and decides to make her own adventure, and draws a door on the wall that takes her to a beautiful forest with a river.

And so I________ her up for school and took her home. We made ice-cream________, shopping and to the movies—all in my car. I would drive to her house just to sit on her bed, read magazines and have a good laugh. I went to her house so________ that she gave me a key to her house.

A week after I began to________, she was with me when I had my first accident. She was there and________ me and we kept it a________, since I didn't want people to________. From then on, through thick and thin, it was just me, my car and my best friend.

High school is a time of________, but for a long time I couldn't________ how we became so distant(疏远的). Finally, my best friend________ her dream car. With its________, the passenger seat of my car became________. Our car trips became less frequent until I didn't________ drive down her street.
