Ⅰ.阅读理解
（2020四川棠湖中学高二上学期第二次月考）
One of the main challenges faced by many countries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend “One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that，with a few important exceptions，mother tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states,” said Neville Alexander，director of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa at the University of Cape Town.
In response to the spread of English and the increasing multi-language trend arising from immigration，many countries have introduced language laws in the last decade. In some，the use of languages other than the national language are banned in public spaces such as advertising posters. One of the first such legal provisions（规定）was the 1994 “Toubon law” in France and the idea has been copied in many countries since then. Such efforts to govern language use are often considered futile by language experts，who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process.
It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the “purity” of a language by law. Since the time of Shakespeare, English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language. English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world, but that has not been a barrier to acquiring superiority and power. Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of the state regulation is that it has never been the Anglo-Saxon way of doing things. English has never had the state-controlled authority for the language similar, for example, to the Academic Francaise in France.
The need to protect national languages is, for most western Europeans, a recent phenomenon——especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields. Public communication, education and new ways of communication promoted by technology, may be key fields to defend.
1. Neville Alexander believes that_______.
A. mother tongue education is not practiced in all African countries
B. globalization has resulted in the economic failure of Africa

D. lack of mother tongue education can lead to economic failure
2. The underlined word “futile” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “_______.”

D. unnecessary
3. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. English has taken over fields like public communication and education.
B. Many aspects of national culture are threatened by the spread of English.
C Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language.
D. Europeans have long realized the need to protect a national language.

Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours，she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat，but it was not possible for her since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while，watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However，with no money in hand，she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey，girl，do you want to have the noodles？”
“Oh，yes…but I don't have money on me…”she replied.
That’s nothing. I'll treat you today，said the man. “Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles，whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating，Jenny cried silently.
“What is it ” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness！” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “ Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger！”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her ”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock: she remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
