Which of the following sentences is not true according to the passage？
A．After 3 000 years, each daughter language shared only 29% of the basic 200-word vocabulary.
B．Some Aleuts are the descendants of Eskimos on the mainland of Alaska.
C．The language clock can help to determine the dates of certain events.
D．Through thousands of years languages change only in vocabulary.
In 1950 some research workers in America discovered that languages change at a steady rate through the centuries. They organized their investigation in the following ways. First, they prepared a list of 200 things for which there are common words in every language. Then they compared these words in modern languages with the ancient languages from which the modem ones had developed. They found that for a certain proportion of the 200 things, the ancient words continued to be used, though written or pronounced differently. But in other cases the ancient words had been replaced by new words which had been introduced into the language.
After a thousand years, on the average, 81% of the old words (162 of the 200 words) were still in use. After 2000 years, on the average, 81% of these 162 words (or 66% of the original to tal of 200) remained. After 3000 years, 81% of these 131 words (or 53% of the original number) remained in use, and so on.
Next this group of research workers investigated situations where two different languages had developed separately and independently, from the same ancient language, (In modern times, of course, such situations are very unlikely to occur. Why？) They found that after 1,000 years, as be fore, each daughter language shared only 66% of the basic 200-word vocabulary. Each daughter language, as before, derived 81% of its 200 words from the original parent language. But (as you might expect) the words which they kept were not quite the same. The proportion of words actually shared by the daughter languages was therefore 81% of 81%, which is 66% of the original 200 words. After 2000 years they shared 66% of 66% of the words, i.e. 43% of the original vocabulary. And after 3000 years they shared only 29% of the original vocabulary.
A long time ago, some Eskimos, speaking the Eskimo language, left the mainland of Alaska and began to live in a group of islands (called the Aleutian Islands) at some instance from the coast. Recently, research workers compared the islander's language with the modern Eskimo language. They found that the Aleutians and the Eskimos shared only 29% of the words, on the stand ard list. From this fact the investigators were able to calculate the date of the event referred to at the beginning of this paragraph.
From the passage, we can infer that language clock is ______.
A．a mechanic clock
B．a figurative clock
C．an electronic clock
D．a diamond clock
听力原文： Most ants are hard workers and often work from six o'clock in the morning until ten o'clock at night. The work is divided among the worker ants so that each one has a certain amount to do. We do not know how they decide what each one is to do, for they do not talk, some people think ants follow each other by their sense of smell. Ants often live to be one year old, and some have been known to live six or seven years. One way they get their food is from plant lice, which we might call their cows. The ants milk these "cows" by tapping the lice gently until a drop of honey comes out. Then they eat the honey. Ants take very good care of these plant lice and often build a covering over them so that they will be protected from the rain.

Making Light of Sleep
All we have a clock located inside our brains. Similar to your bedside alarm clock, your intemal clock runs on a 24-hour cycle.-This cycle, called a circadian rhythm, helps control when you wake,when you eat and when you sleep.＜br＞
Somewhere around puberty, something happens in the timing of the biological clock. The clock pushes forward, so adolescents and teenagers are unable to fall asleep as early as they used to. When your mother tells you it&39;s time for bed, your body may be pushing you to stay up for several hours more.＜br＞
And the light coming from your computer screen or TV could be pushing you to stay up even later.＜br＞
This shift is natural for teenagers. But staying up very late and sleeping late can get your body&39;s clock out of sync with the cycle of light and dark. It can also make it hard to get out of bed in the morning and may bring other problems, too. Teenagers are put in a kind of a gray cloud when they don&39;t get enough sleep, says Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at BrownUniversity. It affects their mood and their ability to think and learn.＜br＞
But just like your alarm clock, your internal clock can be reset. In fact, it automatically resets itself every day. How？ By using the light it gets through your eyes. Scientists have known for a long time that the light of day and the dark of night play important roles in setting our internal clocks. For years,researchers thought that the signals that synchronize the body&39;s clock were handled through the same pathways that we use to see.＜br＞
But recent discoveries show that the human eye has two separate light-sensing systems. One system allows us to see. The second system tells our body whether it&39;s day or night.
The clock located inside our brains is similar to our bedside alarm clock because __________. 查看材料
A.it controls when we wake， when we eat and when we sleep
B.it has a cycle of 24 hours
C.it is a cycle also called circadian rhythm
D.it can alarm any time during 24 hours

From the story shown above we can find out a situation that people from different culture backgrounds often do greeting in different ways. Etiquette can usually be considered as the reflection of certain culture. Even within countries that share the same language, the subject of manner there can still be very diverse. Can you think about some examples that can show cultural differences within English-speaking countries？ Come and write down the examples and share with us your own idea about how these examples can present different cultures of English-speaking countries. Please note that in the final assessment: 1. You should write no less than 300 words. 2. The time for this test is 90 minutes. You must submit your work before the time runs out, otherwise no points will be given in your final. 3. If you come across any problem during the test, feel free to reach me through QQ (or phone number in case of emergency: 13805060013).
From which novel is this paragraph taken from？
Room Six—" Marketing".
Bishop's Hall One— "Communications", which re- places "Taxation".
Bishop's Hall Two—"Strategic Planning", which now includes small business as well as large companies.
Room Five—"Human Resources".
I'll just run through that again. "Marketing" is in Room Six. In Bishop's Hall One we have a change to the original programme and "Taxation" has been replaced by "communications". "Strategic Planning" in Bishop's Hall Two now includes small businesses and Room Five is "Human Resources" We will stay in the Convocation Hall for the first morning session which runs from nine-thirty till eleven o'clock, when we shall all meet up in the Memorial ball for coffee and biscuits.
The eleven-thirty session will be held in Bishop' s Hall One.
A buffet lunch will be held in the self-service restaurant from one to two. We are hoping that this system will prove quicker than waitress service and ensure a prompt start to the afternoon session which begins in Bishop's Hall Two at two o'clock and runs to three-thirty. Please note, however, that we shall be in Room Five for the four to five- thirty session.
Tea and biscuits will be brought to you between three-thirty and for o'clock.
At five-thirty we invite you all to the Assembly Hall for an hour's general forum. There will be time for questions based on the day's sessions. This session in the Assembly hall is intended to give you an opportunity to clarify and problem areas which may have arisen during the day and to ask any questions you may have. There will be a general exhibition of books and resource materials in the Abbey Room which will be open for the whole day. Anyone in- terested in purchasing any of these materials will be able to order them at the various stands.
Please feel free to visit the Abbey Room at any time during the day up until the Centre closes at seven- thirty p.m.
