Hes what is known as a polyglot. He also studies the development of minority languag
33、es. But hes more than a polyglot. He not only uses the languages fluently, but also knows about the culture of the languages very well. He can talk to native speakers comfortably in their own languages.Matthew, who is from Manchester, England, is a_language_chameleon:_Germans think hes German! Spani
34、ards think hes Spanish and Brazilians think hes Portuguese.By his own account, Matthew has mastered a surprising number of languages by using abilities that we all possess: determination, enthusiasm and open-mindedness.If your classic polyglot is someone who studies languages full-time, then Matthew
35、 is quite different. His study doesnt keep him in an ivory tower; it connects him with people all over the world.According to Matthew, the more languages you speak, the more points of view you have. He thinks each language has a certain way of seeing the world. If you speak one language, then you ha
36、ve a different way of analyzing and seeing the world than the speaker of another language does. Even if theyre really closely-related languages such as Spanish and Portuguese, they are at the same time two different worldstwo different attitudes.He said, “Therefore, having learned other languages an
37、d been surrounded by other languages, I couldnt possibly choose only one language because it would mean really giving up the possibility to be able to see the world in a different way. So the monolingual(只说一种语言的) lifestyle, for me, is the saddest, the loneliest, and the most boring way of seeing the
38、 world. There are so many advantages of learning a language. I really cant think of any reason not to.”59. According to the passage, a polyglot refers to _.A. someone who studies the development of languagesB. someone who keeps a record of minority languagesC. someone who masters several languagesD.

He believes different languages enrich mans world views.C. Traveling around the world is his best way of learning.D. He has a very special talent fo

Negative.CFor several years，the art trade in London has known about the possible existence of the“treasure of the western cave“，dating from the 6th century BCIt was
42、said to have been discovered“by farmers“in western Iran around 1992Out of between 200and 600pieces，only a few have so far“surfaced“The Iranians were very angry that they managed to seize only part of the collection and that the rest was taken abroad illegallyBut now they may worry lessAn academic pa

44、ieces on the market are fakeHow can this “forgery culture“ boom？It is found that about 80per cent of the antiquities traded have no clear sourceIn other words，it is not known where they were found and therefore，even if they are real，they can tell us little about ancient historyPeople in the trade sa
