Akuapem is in the eastern part of Ghana. The sun there shines all the time. The local people are very friendly and hospitable(好客的). Now let’s have a look at how Akuapem people receive a visitor.
A visitor is often welcomed warmly in a family of Akuapem. After the visitor is welcomed into the house, he is offered a seat and water at the very beginning, because the host assumes that the visitor must have come from a very long journey and need water. If there is a group of visitors, the host will greet the visitors from right to left. And the host shakes only with his right hand, because Akuapem people think the left hand is not clean.
Next, the visitor is asked how his journey was and why he has come. While the conversation is going on, the wife and the children, especially girls, are preparing food for the visitor. The visitor can choose his favorite food. After the visitor finishes eating, the host and the visitor go on with their conversation. Usually this is short one because the visitor is getting ready to say goodbye.
When the visitor is leaving, he is often given some food. He is also accompanied(陪伴) by one of the children to the nearest station. The child who accompanies the visitor will not come back home until the visitor leaves safely.
Whether he is a close friend or just a stranger, this is always how friendly Akuapem people receive a visitor.

小题1:词义猜测题。根据he is offered a seat and water at the very beginning,和visitor must have come from a very long journey and need water.可知游客一定来自很远的路途,非常需要水,所以此处的主人一开始就提供他们座位和水,是因为他们想着这一点,故此处asumes表示想着、记着,故选A。
小题2:细节理解题。根据 When the visitor is leaving, he is often given some food.可知当游客离开时,他们会让游客带着一些食物。故选D。
小题3:推理判断题。根据Whether he is a close friend or just a stranger, this is always how friendly Akuapem people receive a visitor.可知无论是亲密的朋友还是陌生人,Akuapem的人们总是友好的接待游客,故推断Akuapem的人是友好的。故选B。

任务型阅读 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,完成下列各题。(共5小题,计10分)
Language is always changing and developing. This isn’t a bad thing. If English hadn’t changed for a long time, we won’t have words to describe telephones, washing machines, computers or some other new things.
Language changes for several reasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change. New technologies, new products, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions, because they have different ages, jobs, education levels(水平) and so on.
How does language develop then? On the one hand, many of the languages changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions that are different from the older people’s. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words shorter or combining words and we make them out of proper names.
Languages that don’t change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it is alive and well.
小题1:What does the writer think of the change and development of language?
He thinks it is                       .
小题2:Why do people use different sets of words and expressions according to the passage?
Because their          and education levels are different.
小题3:How many reasons for language change are mentioned in this passage?
The writer mentions          reasons.
小题4:How do young people help develop language?
They do it when they                  others of their own age.
小题5: What is considered a dead language according to the passage?
The one that                   over time is considered a dead language.
