One of the more interesting aspects of horticultural societies is that it is often women who exercise political pow、er and authority in their society. Anthropologists (人类学家) and travellers alike call attention to the special standing and respect that women enjoy in Austronesian cultures generally and the Philippines in particular.

English and English Community
1There is no doubt that English is a useful language.The people who speak English
today make up the largest speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of
Chinese.
2 A speech community is similar to other kinds of communities.The people who make up
the community share a common language.Often they live side by side,as they do in a
neighborhood(街坊),a village,or a city. More often they form a whole country. National
boundaries,however,are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community.
A speech community is any group of people who speak the same language no matter where
they happen to live.
3 We may say that anyone who speaks English belongs to the English speech community.
For convenience(方便),we may divide the speakers into two groups:one in which the
speakers use English as their native language,the other in which the speakers learn English
as a second language for the purpose of education,commerce,and so on.
4 Learning a second language extends one's vision and expands the mind.The history
and literature of a second language record the real and fictional(虚构的)lives of people
and their culture;a knowledge of them adds to our ability to understand and to feel as they
feel .Learning English as a second language provides another means of communication
through which the window of the entire English speech community becomes a part of our
heritage.
Many people learn English as___________.
A: a second language
B: the same language
C: the same speech community
D:any other language
E:national boundaries
F:a part of one's heritage
资料:It's so common to hear people say, “I’m stressed out,” almost as a badge of honor, as if this is a symptom only of our fast-paced modern life. But in her book, “Exhaustion: A History,”Anna Katharina Schaffner writes that the syndrome of mental exhaustion has existed almost since the beginning of human history.
Commentators claim [ ours] is the most exhausting period in history, the demands on our energy reserves being unprecedented. By implication, they represent the past as a less energy-draining time in which people lived much less stressful lives in harmony with nature and the seasons,“says Schaffner, a. professor of comparative literature and medical humanities at the University of Kent in England, in an email interview. I asked myself whether that was really the case, and started researching other historical periods in search of earlier discourses on exhaustion. To my surprise, I found that ours is far from being the only age to have perceived itself as the most exhausted-this is in fact a perception shared by many historical periods, albeit in different ways and for different reasons.”
Schaffner found information about exhaustion going all the wy back to antiquity. This is not the same thing as physical exhaustion —certainly most, people in earlier times had life physically harder—but concurrently throughout history was this idea of being mentally exhausted, what we might call today being “stressed”or “burned out.”
In the past, she says, the condition went by many names: melancholia, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome or acedia, “a theological version of melancholia, also described as weariness of the heart.”and popular in Medieval times. Causes ranged from physical ailments and chemical imbalances in the brain to spiritual failings or even the alignments of the planets, Often there was a different explanation for each historical period.
“In the late 19th century, for example,. a faster pace of life as a result of trains, steam boats, electricity, and telegraphy was held responsible for the sudden explosion in the number of cases of what was diagnosed as neurasthenia-this diagnosis being structured around a deficiency in nerve force, and manifesting itself in weakness, lethargy. hopelessness, and various other symptoms.”she says.
Other mental ailments throughout time were attlbuted to “the availability of exotic food and spices in the 18th century the education of women in the 19th century,. or the new psycho-social pressures of neo-liberal capitalism in our own time”she adds
So if exhaustion has been with us forever, what does that mean for we moderns? “An historical perspective can help to counter the sense that our way of life is more detrimental to human wellbeing than those in the past, and to make us feel less alone,” says Schaffner. “Of course, this historical perspective also challenges the idea that current states of exhaustion are a unique badge of honor. Thus historicizing exhaustion can, on the one hand, reassure us and, on the other hand, challenge the narratives on which we rely to give our suffering aspecial value.”
Based on commentators views in Para.2, mental exhaustion may be caused by ______
A.the fast-paced modern life.
B.the significant events in human history.
C.increasing consumption of the energy reserves.
D.less harmonious life with nature and the seasons.

Living History at Jamestown Settlement
A woman in Native American clothes is sitting in the sun,sewing a dress from skin.Inside a building,a colonist is making a wooden chair,using very simple tools.And all around,tourists are taking pictures with their digital(数码的)cameras. This is Jamestown settlement today.
Jamestown,Virginia,was one of the first place in the world where people from Europe, American,and Africa came together in 1608 .Today,it is a living history museum,where chil- dren and adults come to experience history. In a living history museum,actors wear clothes and adults form the past and demonstrate many of the activities of daily life back then.The actors also talk to the visitors and explain everything they do.
At a living history museum,there are always many things to touch,hear,and smell. Visitors at Jamestown settlement can walk through copies of the three small sailing ships that carried colo-nists to Virginia and even lie down in a colonist's bed!The colonists stayed on the crowed,dan-gerous ships for more than four months.When they got to Virginia,they built an area of houses with a high wall around it. In today's fort(堡垒),you can see houses, a church, and even a gar-den with foods that the colonists ate.Women in long dresses work inside their homes,and visitors can help them with their sewing and cooking.
There is also an Indian Village at Jamestown settlement,and it books very different from the fort. It shows how the Indians lived in long houses and grew corn and other crops in large fields. Actors there make pottery(陶器)and teach visitors how to play Indian games. You can even help them make an India boat from a tree!
Today,the living history museum of Jamestown is very popular,especially with children and families.People come here to have fun,but also to learn. Many school classes visit to experience old ways of getting things done .A living history museum is the best way to understand how people lived in the past.
Children and families enjoy play Indian games.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned
答案:C
解析:
根据第一段的“...tourists are taking pictures with their digital(数码的)cameras.”可知,如今到这个地区的游客喜欢拍照,题干叙述正确,故选A。
根据第二段的“...where people from Europe, American, and Africa came together in 1608.”可知,题干叙述正确,故选A。
由第三段首句“At a living history museum, there are always many things to touch, hear, and smell.”可知,游客可以触摸很多东西,题干叙述错误。故本题选B。
文章并未提到最先到詹姆斯敦的移民是哪国人,故选C。
根据第二段的“The actors also talk to the visitors and explain everything they do.”可知,工作在博物馆的人们向游客解释他们都干些什么。故题干叙述正确,选A。
根据第三段“Visitors at Jamestown settlement can walk through copies of the three small sailing ships...”可知,游客只能步行穿过模仿的小船,并不能行走在真的移民用的船上。
文章只是说这样的博物馆在孩子和家庭中很受欢迎,但并未提到孩子们和家庭是否喜欢印度游戏,故选C。
