Scholars discovered that many European and southern Asian languages belonged to the same "family" and that they started from the same parent language, Proto-Indo-European.Linguists think that it had split into several different languages, including Greek and Sanskrit, between 2000 and 1000 BC.Other languages, such as English and Spanish, developed from later splits. 75_ .

C Andreea,18,from Romania, sent a photograph of the view from her window and included a brief apology, “Sorry, this picture is plain and boring. No one would like it.” At home in New Jersey, US, Coreen Burke,16, clicked on the same image on the internet. She saw a village with its rooftops and walls painted in reds and yellows, a distant chimney(烟囱) giving off smoke. “Isn’t this amazingly different from my country?” She thought to herself. Burke, a teenager with a skill for computers, saw beauty in that photo. She posted it to her blog, Outside My Window, which features a daily snapshot(快照) of someone’s window view around the world. The concept is simple: We can all relate to the act of staring through a piece of glass, onto the scene on the other side. “Maybe if we understood the way people from all over the world live,” she explained, “we would all get along better than we have been lately.” With a click of a mouse, you can see Frederic’s window in the south of France, looking out on sailboats anchored (抛锚) in a peaceful harbor. Or Virginia’s view in Canada, a winter scene with trees laced in white. Like most high school students, Burke has traveled the world. But she says someday she hopes to collect stamps in her passport, starting with Greece and India. Her recent break was devoted to launching the site with a blogger account and recruiting(招募) contributors from deviant ART, an online art community. She posted the first window view from Switzerland, a sunset photographed by an 18-year-old. Then others came flowing in by email, up to seven a day, from as far as Kazakhstan and Indonesia. Contributors are marked on maps pinned on her bedroom wall: a blue dot indicates their country and a pink dot shows their city, if they provide it. The most responses have come from Europe – Estonia, Poland, Italy, Germany and Sweden, to name a few. She is crossing her fingers, thinking that she’ll receive a photo from Africa or Antarctica, which are unrepresented so far. While she’s become a cyber crusader(网络革新者) for appreciating the beauty outside our own windows, get this: She has no windows in her bedroom. She has a nice skylight(天窗), though. 51. What does Burke think of the picture she received from Andreea? A. Boring B. Charming C. Strange D. Plain 52. Outside My Window is a blog intended to show_______. A. the view from Burke’s window B. pictures of rural New Jersey C. photos of window views taken by people all over the world D. beautiful scenes of famous places of interest 53. We can conclude from the article that Burke _______. A. believes we should reach out to people of different cultures B. has traveled around the world and taken many pictures C. is a member of an online art community D. has made a lot of money by selling beautiful pictures 54. Which of the following is not true? A. Burke is likely to receive a photo from Africa or Antarctica. B. Burke is a junior middle school student. C. Burke has photos from many countries in the world, including Kazakhstan. D. Burke wants a photo of window view from Africa or Antarctica. 55.What is the best title of this passage? A. World Windows B. Beautiful Pictures C. Pictures on the Internet D. Windows in Bedrooms |
