It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4, 000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa because they had not learned to write. Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations, for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call ？remembered history ” . Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But if there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful. Which of the following is NOT suggested in the passage？ A.Written history is more reliable. B.Written records play an important role in learning about history. C.A written account of our daily activities helps to answer many questions. D.Where there are no written records, there is no history. Little is known about the central Africa 200 years ago because ______.A.there was nothing worth writing down at that time B.people there ignored the importance of keeping a record C.people there did not know how to write D.the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire “ Remembered history” refers to ______.A.history based on a person’s imagination B.stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth C.songs and dances about the most important events. D.both B and C “ Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when ______.A.it is written down B.No written account is available C.it proves to be timely D.People are interested in it It is suggested that we could have learned more about our past if ancient people had ______.A.kept a written record of every past event B.burnt their written records in wars C.told exact stories of the most important happenings D.made more songs and dances 请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析，谢谢！

There are several important families of languages in the world. For example, most of the languages of Europe are in one large family called Indo-European. The original (最初的) language of this family was spoken about 4,500 years ago. Many of the present languages of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4,500 yeas ago. Languages are always changing. The English of today is very different from the English of 500 years ago. Some even die out completely. About 1, 000 years ago English was a little-known relative of German spoken on one of the borders of Europe. If a language has a large number of speakers or if it is very old, there may be differences in the way it is spoken in different areas. That is, the language may have several dialects. Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of years by millions of speakers. Their differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of China cannot understand speakers from other parts. The first paragraph mainly tells us that ______. A．most people in the world speak Chinese B．there are thousands of languages in the world today C．man has much knowledge about languages D．some people know several languages

A.mysterious B.miraculous

A．subversive B．subterranean C．mysteriousChidden

The intelligent person, young or old, meeting a new situation or problem, opens himself up to it. He tries to take in with mind and senses everything he can about it. He thinks about it, instead of about himself or what it might cause to happen to him. He grapples (努力克服) with it boldly, imaginatively, resourcefully (机智地), and if not confidently, at least hopefully: if he fails to master it, he looks without fear or shame at his mistakes and learns what he can from them. This is intelligence. Clearly its roots lie in a certain feeling about life, and one’s self with respect to life. Just as clearly, unintelligence is not what most psychologists seem to suppose, the same thing as intelligence, only less of it. It is an entirely different style. of behavior, arising out of entirely different set of attitudes. Years of watching and comparing bright children with the not-bright, or less bright, have shown that they are very different kinds of people. The bright child is curious about life and reality, eager to get in touch with it, embrace (捉住机会) it, unite himself with it. There is no wall; no barrier, between himself and life. On the other hand, the dull child is far less curious, far less interested in what goes on and what is real, more inclined (倾向于) to live in a world of fantasy. The bright child likes to experiment, to try things out. He lives by the maxim (格言) that there is more than one way to skin a cat. If he can’t do something one way, he’ll try another. The dull child is usually afraid to try at all. It takes a great deal of urging to get him to try even once; if that try fails, he is through. Nobody starts off stupi D.Hardly an adult in a thousand, or ten thousand, could in any three years of his life learn as much, grow as much in his understanding of the world around him, as every infant (婴儿) learns and grows in his first three years. But what happens, as we grow older, to this extraordinary capacity for learning and intellectual growth？ What happens is that it is destroyed, and more than by any other one thing, it is destroyed by the process that we misname education – a process that goes on in most homes and schools. 11. The writer believes that intelligence is doing well on some examinations. A.True B.False 12. The writer believes that “unintelligence” is a particular way of looking at the world. A.True B.False 13. Why does the writer say that education is misnamed？ A.Because it takes place more in homes than in school. B.Because it discourages intellectual growth. C.Because it helps dull children with their problems. D.Because it helps children understand the world around them. 14. “There’s more than one way to skin a cat.” Which of the following maxims has a similar meaning to this one？ A.If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, and try again. B.All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy. C.Make new friends and keep the old; one is silver and the other is gold. D.Make hay while the sun shines. 15. “It is an entirely different style. of behavior, arising out of an entirely different set of attitudes.” “It” in this sentence refers to （） . A.intelligence B.behavior C.life D.unintelligence

The word gelato means "frozen" originally. Since ancient Rome, people have been enjoying cold desserts. Many think gelato is just an Italian name for ice cream. But actually it is a different product. According to Fed and Guido, the difference between ice cream and gelato is the amount of fat in the product. In ice cream you have an average of 17-18% of fat, but with Italian gelato you have 10%. It was Guido who first came up with the idea. He thought that if they got the best materials, they could make top quality gelato. Fed then put a business plan together and the two decided to go for it.
