Ⅳ. 任务型阅读 (每小题1分, 共10分)
Fifteen years ago, United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) passed a convention (公约) for protecting intangible cultural heritage (ICH, 非物质文化遗产). Since then, 508 items from 122 countries have been added to UNESCO’S ICH list, including 39 items that were added last month.
After an item is added, its home country is required to take action to protect it. UNESCO will offer money to those countries too. ICH, as the name suggests, isn’t always something we can touch or see. But what kinds of things can be described as ICH Here are some examples.
Social practices
Social practices are activities that are shared by a group of people. They can include festivals and sports. But they don’t have to be ancient. They can be modern activities that people still practice these days as well. Hurling (曲棍球) is an example of this and Irish people play it in schools and clubs. They even have national hurling championships.
Acting arts
Acting arts might have been one of the first ways for people to express their moods creatively. This is because people don’t have to use tools to act, They can only use their bodies, They can sing, dance and wear costumes. Reggae music was created in the 1960s in Jamaica. The words of the music are often deep. Reggae artists hold up a mirror to society and make its problems known to the public.
Knowledge and practices about nature
ICH includes not only literature (文学) and arts but also science. Many cultures have developed their own knowledge of the universe and medical practices. Such knowledge and practices have helped people for hundreds of years. In Tibet, people put herbs (草药) in hot water and take baths in it. They use this “medicinal bathing” to treat illnesses. Even now, many modern medical colleges in China teach this practice to their students.
Spoken traditions
Spoken traditions include tales, riddles and poems. Over hundreds of years, they n prevent knowledge, social values and memories from dying. The tales of Dede Qorqud is an example of a spoken tradition. In these tales, Dede Qorqud is a wise man, He teaches people how to face life and death and solve problems in their lives.
