A butterfly-shaped island in the central Aegean hopes to become Greece's -first-carbon-free tourist

destination. Under a deal with the government, Volkswagen, a carmaker, has donatcd several new electric vehicles for

use by Astypalea's public services; it will sell others at cos t price to its 1,200 year-round residents.In return,

the government has offered more financial assistance for islanders to buy electric cars and will build a solar and

wind-fuelled power plant to replace polluting generators.

Unlike other nearby islands, Astypale a is not connected to Greece's electricity providers. With only

3,000rooms for visitors in small hotels or flats, tourism is still low-key. Many residents make a living the old-

fashioned way: raising goats, keeping bees and fishing. The island was selected for Volkswagen's experiment after

Nikos Komineas, the go-ahead mayor, contacted the transport ministry for help in finding an electric bus to try out

on its rough roads.

Most islanders sound keen on the project. Mr Komineas expects the number of private cars on Astypalea to fall

by a third over the next five years. Its residents, he says, will get around on electric minibuses, which will be

free, linked to a mobile-phone app and available round the clock.

Some observers smell green washing in the project, A bi d for a solar park that would generate half the

island's electricity within three years will not get under way before the tourist season ends. A single wind-fuelled

engine will be set up only in 2026, assuming the licensing process goes smoothly. That is not normally the case in

the Aegean, where islanders worry that tourists will go else where if the view is spoiled by an engine 200 meters

high. And even then, the solar and wind-fulled power unit is planned to cover only about80% of summer demand. But it

is a start.

24. Why has the deal been signed?

A. To control car prices. B. To help generate electricity.

C. To promote public transport. D. To build a zero-carbon island.

25. What makes Astypale a different from other nearby islands?

A. It has an aggressive leader. B. It is out of the national electricity network.

C. It is a crowded tourist destination. D. It has various goats, bees and fishes.

26. What can be inferred from the text?

A. The experiment will come to nothing.

B. There are barriers in conducting the project.

C. Green tourism will become a trend in Greece.

D. The islanders are unwilling to change their lifestyle.

1 What does the author think of the project?

A. It's pioneering. B. It's practical. C. It's destructive. D. It's costly.

There are some 7,000 languages spoken worldwide, each unique, using different sounds, vocabularies and

structures. Charles the Great said:“To have a second language is to have a second soul.”This begs the

question:Does the language we speak shape who we are? As it turns out, yes.

In societies such as the United States or Western Europe, self-expression and language exactness are

valued. Asian cultures, on the other hand, prefer an indirect form of communication. Words

like“perhaps”and“maybe” are used more than “yes” or“no”. Americanism takes an informal approach to

communication.Therefope, it's OK to refer to a stranger or the boss as“you”. However, the Thai language has

12 forms of the same pronoun, choosing one depends on status( 身份 ). In this way, languages are essential in

leading any culture, be that our own or otherwise.

People who speak different languages notice different things, depending on the constructs of their mother

tongue. Take an accident. In English, it's OK to say:“She broke the glass.”But in a language like

Spanish,you'd probably go with:“The, glass, broke.” The same incident produces two different responses.

English speakers will remember who’s at fault, because their language asks them to, while Spanish speakers

are more likely to remember it was an accident. This has real consequences, especially when it comes to crime

and punishment.

Professor Jim Cummins has written extensively on mother tongues. For Cumminds, the stronger our home

language, the easier it is for us to learn others. Of course, research also shows that being bilingual( 双语

的)gives people many advantages in life. Linguist Julien Leyre writes that learning another language develops

our ability to“understand the men tal world of another person, based on the language they use, and how that

world is different from our own.”

Our mother tongue is central to how we think, what we know and who we are. Like us, languages are living

things that change over time and must be cared for to survive. By doing so, we protect not just the linguistic

structures or vocabularies we use, but the culture, knowledge and power behind them.

28. Why does the author mention“Americanism”and“the Thai language” in Paragraph 2?

A. To tell the cultural differences between them.

B. To indicate a language is a guide to a culture.

C. To stress American expressions are informal.

D. To reveal a language is associated with status.

29. How will English speakers react to an accident?

A. They will seek blame. B. They will punish others.

C. They will avoid responsibility. D. They will draw a lesson from it.

30. What does Julien Leyre think about bilinguals?

A. They enjoy a more colorful life. B. They can remain mentally healthy.

C. They find it easier to lear n a language. D. They can gain insight into others' minds.

31. Which one can be the best title for the text?

A. How do languages differ? B. Will your language be extinct?

C. Why does our mother tongue matter? D. Should we speak a second language?

Look around on your next plan e trip. The iPad is the new pacifier( 安抚奶嘴 ) for babies. School-aged

children read stories on smartphones. Their parents read on Kindles or skim a long list of email and news

feeds.
