Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Tom Belt,a native of Oklahoma,didn’t know the English language until he began school.In his home,conversations took place in Cherokee.Belt grew up riding horses,and after college travelled around the country doing the rodeo(牛仔竞技比赛).Finally,he wound up in North Carolina and married a woman he met at school 20 years earlier.
Yet his wife—also Cherokee—did not speak the language.He soon realized that he was a minority(少数)among his own people.At that time,just 400 or so Cherokee speakers were left in the Eastern Band,the tribe(部落)located in the Cherokee’s historic homeland.Children were no longer learning the language either.“I began to realize the seriousness of the situation,” Belt says.
Belt and other concerned Cherokee speakers in the Eastern Band decided to do something about it.Belt volunteered to teach Cherokee lessons at a local school,for example,and finally the tribe decided to create a language immersion school for children,where main classes—including science and math—are taught in Cherokee.Cherokee language is now also offered at the local university,where Belt teaches.
“Many Cherokee speakers are using technology to do really interesting things that were not imaginable a generation back,” says Mark Turin,a language expert at Yale University.For example,a Cherokee app allows speakers to text in the language’s 85 letters.Some Cherokee sites bring speakers together and provide multimedia teaching tools.
Thanks to the Eastern Band’s efforts,today around 60 of their children can speak Cherokee.Belt,along with many other Cherokee speakers,is not ready to let his language disappear into history—even if the journey towards revitalisation(振兴) is an uphill one.As an elder told Belt years ago:“It’s all well and good that you all want to do this,but remember,it wasn’t taken away overnight,and you’re not going to revitalize it overnight.”
1.What did Tom Belt find out about the Cherokee language
A.It is taught at only a few schools.
B.It is disliked by many English speakers.
C.It is difficult for children to learn.
D.It is in danger of dying out.
2.What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A.Why Cherokee was popular in local schools.
B.How Cherokee speakers saved the language.
C.How Cherokee influenced children’s education.
D.What made Cherokee more well-known to locals.
3.What plays a role in the success the Eastern Band has achieved
A.Their great imagination.
B.Their special teaching methods.
C.Their use of technology.
D.Their confidence in younger generations.
4.What can we learn from the elder’s words in the last paragraph
A.Getting Cherokee back is a long journey.
B.Cherokee will disappear slowly.
C.Cherokee might become popular someday.
D.The loss of Cherokee is simply a fact of life.

UN Chinese Language Day is celebrated annually on April 20.The event was set up by the UN Department of Public Information in order to get equal use of all six of its official working languages throughout the organization.
The first Chinese Language Day was celebrated in 2010 on the 12th of November.But since 2011,the date has been the 20th of April.It’s because Chinese Guyu,which is the 6th of 24 solar terms in the traditional Chinese calendar,usually just begins around the date,April 20.Guyu is important to Chinese people.Each year they will celebrate Guyu in memory of the person:Cangjie,who was believed to create Chinese characters.There’s a story that when Cangjie created Chinese characters,it rained millet(粟).Guyu in some way means “rain of millet”.
The Chinese Language Day for 2021 was especially to help people learn about Chinese characters based on symbols.In the building of the UN in New York,three events,which were organized by an organization connected to the UN,focused on three types of Chinese characters based on symbols.The three events were,a guided tour of the Liangzhu Museum,a language class on Dongba words,and a lecture on the history of Chinese characters.The three events were held from April 19 to 21,2021.
Chinese was allowed to be an official language of the United Nations in 1946.However,in the early years,Chinese was not commonly used in the work of the United Nations.The situation improved after the restoration(恢复) of the lawful rights of the People’s Republic of China in the United Nations in 1971.And in 1973,the General Assembly(联合国大会) included Chinese as a working language.Then more and more UN offices and work members work with the Chinese language.
5.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A.Traditional Chinese 24 solar terms are well accepted all over the world.
B.The UN Chinese Language Day has been celebrated for over 13 years.
C.UN Chinese Language Day was set up to preserve the Chinese language.
D.There are five other official working languages other than Chinese in the UN.
6.Why was UN Chinese Language Day moved to April 20
A.To show respect for one solar term.
B.To promote Chinese characters.
C.To protect various Chinese dialects.
D.To support the equal use of the Chinese language.
7.What can we know about the three events
A.They focused on helping people learn Chinese characters.
B.They were held in the building of the UN for four days.
C.They paid attention to three types of Chinese characters.
D.They were all organized by the UN in New York.
8.What’s the last paragraph mainly about
A.The Chinese language’s origin and evolution.
B.The Chinese language’s change in its long history.
C.The Chinese language’s growing popularity in the UN.
D.The Chinese language’s significance to Chinese people.
Ⅱ.七选五
(2023江西宜春高三月考)
“Don’t take many English courses;they won’t help you get a decent job.”“Sign up for management classes,so you’ll be ready to join the family business when you graduate.” Many of us have heard suggestions like these put forward by parents or others close to us. 1
The answer is yes.Such comments often seem quite reasonable.However,with regard to finding a correct path of career,it relates to decisions you should make. 2
One of the worst reasons to follow a particular path in life is that other people want you to.Decisions that affect your life should be your decisions —decisions you make after you’ve considered various alternatives and chosen the path that suits you best.
3 For instance,your parents do have their own unique experiences that may make their advice helpful,and having participated in a great deal of your personal history,they may have a clear view of your strengths and weaknesses. 4 They may still see you as a child,in need of care and protection.Or they may see only your strengths.Or,in some unfortunate cases,they may focus only on your flaws and shortcomings.
For the whole life,we are always in the wandering and hesitation. 5 Unless you’ve already determined to be their faithful audience,you shouldn’t worry too much about letting others control your actions.Ultimately,though,you can assure that your own judgments will lead your way.
A.Should we follow the path that they choose for us
B.You are the one who must live with their consequences.
C.Should suggestions like these be taken with caution
D.A person’s journey through life might be seen as a series of decisions.
E.Making your own decisions does not mean that you should ignore the suggestions of others.
F.People will always be giving you advice on your path.
G.Still,their views are not necessarily accurate.

3.C 推理判断题。根据第四段可知,在挽救这种语言的过程中,现代科技例如应用程序和网站起到了很大作用。

Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。我们中的许多人都听过父母或其他与我们关系密切的人提出的建议,像这样的建议我们应该谨慎对待,不能盲从。
1.C 根据上文“Manyofushaveheardsuggestionsliketheseputforwardbyparentsorothersclosetous.”可知,我们很多人都听过父母或身边的人提出这样的建议。C项“像这样的建议应该谨慎对待吗 ”承接上句,话题一致,其中“suggestions”属于原词重现。
2.B 根据上句“However,withregardtofindingacorrectpathofcareer,itrelatestodecisionsyoushouldmake.”可知,B项 “你才是那个必须承受后果的人。”承接上句,说明寻找正确的职业道路方面,是你应该作出的决定,因为你才是那个必须承受后果的人。
3.E 设空处概括本段内容,根据后句“Forinstance,yourparentsdohavetheirownuniqueexperiences...yourstrengthsandweaknesses.”可知,你的父母确实有他们自己独特的经历,这可能使他们的建议有用。E项 “自己做决定并不意味着你应该忽略别人的建议。”承接后句,对后句进行总结。
4.G 根据后句“Theymaystillseeyouasachild,inneedofcareandprotection.”可知,他们可能仍然把你当成一个需要照顾和保护的孩子。G项“不过,他们的观点不一定准确。”承接后句,且说明他们的观点不一定准确的原因。
5.F 根据上句“Forthewholelife,wearealwaysinthewanderingandhesitation.”可知,整个人生,我们总是在徘徊和彷徨。F项“在你的人生道路上,人们总是会给你建议。”承接上句,话题一致。
Ⅲ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述“告诉蜜蜂去吧”这句老话的起源以及意义。
1.what 考查疑问词。分析句子结构可知,本句为特殊疑问句,设空处为mean的宾语,意为“什么”,故填what。
2.followed 考查时态。分析句子结构可知,设空处为从句的谓语,前面主句的时态是一般过去时,从句也应用一般过去时,故填followed。
3.that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处引导限制性定语从句,先行词为theterribleloss,在从句中作主语,故填that/which。

6.between 考查固定短语。短语between...and...意为“在……和……之间”,故填between。
7.Actually 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,设空处位于句首,作状语,修饰整个句子,应用副词形式,故填Actually。
8.existing 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,设空处为动词stop的宾语;stopdoingsth表示“停止正在做的事”,故此处应用现在分词形式,故填existing。
9.harmful 考查形容词。分析句子可知,设空处修饰名词effect,应用形容词作定语,故填harmful。
10.connection 考查词性转换。分析句子可知,设空处为动词stresses的宾语,应用名词形式;this表明设空处应用单数名词。故填connection。(共54张PPT)

Human speech contains more than 2,000 different sounds,from the common “m” and “a” to the rare clicks of some southern African languages.But why are certain sounds more common than others A ground-breaking,five-year study shows that diet-related changes in human bite led to new speech sounds that are now found in half the world’s languages.
More than 30 years ago,the scholar Charles Hockett noted that speech sounds called labiodentals,such as “f” and “v”,were more common in the languages of societies that ate softer foods.Now a team of researchers led by Damián Blasi at the University of Zurich, Switzerland,has found how and why this trend arose.
They discovered that the upper and lower front teeth of ancient human adults were aligned (对齐),making it hard to produce labiodentals,which are formed by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth.Later,our jaws changed to an overbite structure (结构),making it easier to produce such sounds.
The team showed that this change in bite was connected with the development of agriculture in the Neolithic period.Food became easier to chew at this point.The jawbone didn’t have to do as much work and so didn’t grow to be so large.
Analyses of a language database also confirmed that there was a global change in the sound of world languages after the Neolithic age,with the use of “f” and “v” increasing remarkably during the last few thousand years.These sounds are still not found in the languages of many hunter-gatherer people today.
This research overturns the popular view that all human speech sounds were present when human beings evolved around 300,000 years ago.“The set of speech sounds we use has not necessarily remained stable since the appearance of human beings,but rather the huge variety of speech sounds that we find today is the product of a complex interplay of things like biological change and cultural evolution,” said Steven Moran,a member of the research team.
理清脉络
真题再做
32.Which aspect of the human speech sound does Damián Blasi’s research focus on
A.Its variety. B.Its distribution.
C.Its quantity. D.Its development.
D
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Now a team of researchers led by Damián Blasi at the University of Zurich,Switzerland,has found how and why this trend arose.”可知,Damián Blasi的研究关注的是人类语言的发展。故选D项。
33.Why was it difficult for ancient human adults to produce labiodentals
A.They had fewer upper teeth than lower teeth.
B.They could not open and close their lips easily.
C.Their jaws were not conveniently structured.
D.Their lower front teeth were not large enough.
C
推理判断题。根据第三段可知,古代成年人的上下门牙排列整齐,很难产生唇齿音,唇齿音是通过下唇接触上牙形成的。后来,我们的下巴变成了覆颌结构,更容易发出这样的声音。由此可知,古代成年人难以发出唇齿音的原因是覆颌结构不好。故选C项。
34.What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A.Supporting evidence for the research results.
B.Potential application of the research findings.
C.A further explanation of the research methods.
D.A reasonable doubt about the research process.
A
段落大意题。第五段提到,一个语言数据库的分析也证实,新石器时代之后,世界语言的发音发生了全球性的变化,在过去的几千年里,“ f ”和“ v ”的使用显著增加。这些音在今天许多狩猎采集者的语言中仍然找不到。由此可知,第五段是为上文提到的研究发现进一步提供证据。故选A项。
35.What does Steven Moran say about the set of human speech sounds
A.It is key to effective communication.
B.It contributes much to cultural diversity.
C.It is a complex and dynamic system.
D.It drives the evolution of human beings.
C
细节理解题。根据最后一段Steven Moran说的话可知,自人类出现以来,我们所使用的语音并不一定一直保持稳定,而是我们今天发现的各种语音是生物变化和文化进化等复杂因素相互作用的产物。由此可知,语言是一个复杂的动态系统。故选C项。
