The Wampanoag language was not dead. To call it dead would be an insult to the ancestors who left it for future generations as a way to communicate-and a way to teach. But it was “unspoken” until linguist Jessie “Little Doe” Baird brought it back. Her project’s Wampanoag dictionary holds more than 11,000 entries.
Words on paper are not a language. A language lives through the people who speak it. So Baird founded the W pan ak Language Reclamation Project. She teaches community classes and family camps. Kids in grade school and high school have the opportunity to learn the language.
The Wampanoags have lived for 12000 years in Massachusetts and parts of Rhode Island. When the Pilgrims (清教徒) met the first Indigenous people, those were the Wampanoags. The English settlers brought disease that killed thousands-an estimated two-thirds of the Wampanoag Nation died-as well as war and rules that fragmented (分裂) the tribes. There once were 69 tribes in the nation; now there are three. Baird is a citizen of the Mashpee tribe. Her ancestors left a key to their language. They translated the King James Bible into Wampanoag. They left hundreds of documents in their written alphabet (字母表).
Baird describes a vision she had where her ancestors helped her see it was time to bring the language home. She began her research, which led her to a graduate degree at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she learned from and worked with other linguists. In 2010, she was named a MacArthur Foundation Fellow, earning a “genius grant” to further her work.
“It’s incredibly difficult to reclaim a language, even more so when there are no speakers alive, and even more so when you’re driving 90 minutes a day, each way, to attend graduate school, with four small children at home.”
“I might have been afraid to do the work had I known that,” Baird says with a laugh now. “But I didn’t, and so here we are.”
4. What is the situation of the Wampanoag language
A. It has entirely gone by now. B. It is being brought back to life.
C. It is a compulsory course in schools. D. It has got well-recognized in the USA.
5. What may contribute to the downfall of Wampanoag
A. The wide use of English in the new land.
B. The religious change of the Wampanoags.
C. The sharp reduced population of Wampanoag.
D. The shortage of reference books on the language.
6. What’s the key element of saving the Wampanoag language
A. The local linguists lend a timely hand.
B. Children are asked to learn the language.
C. The government gives the financial support.
D. The materials ancestors left lay the foundation.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Jessie Baird
A. Determined and responsible B. Considerate and ambitious
C. Intelligent and kind-hearted D. Independent and adaptable
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍万帕诺亚格语正在语言学家杰西·“小多伊”·贝尔德的努力下重新让更多的人认识并使用。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The Wampanoag language was not dead. To call it dead would be an insult to the ancestors who left it for future generations as a way to communicate-and a way to teach. But it was “unspoken” until linguist Jessie “Little Doe” Baird brought it back. Her project’s Wampanoag dictionary holds more than 11,000 entries. (万帕诺亚格语并没有消亡。称之死亡将是对祖先的侮辱，他们将其作为一种交流和教学的方式留给后代。但在语言学家杰西·“小多伊”·贝尔德将其再次流行之前，它一直是“无声的”。她的项目的万帕诺亚格词典包含11000多个词条)”可知，万帕诺亚格语正在语言学家杰西·“小多伊”·贝尔德的努力下复活。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The Wampanoags have lived for 12,000 years in Massachusetts and parts of Rhode Island. When the Pilgrims (清教徒) met the first Indigenous people, those were the Wampanoags. The English settlers brought disease that killed thousands-an estimated two-thirds of the Wampanoag Nation died-as well as war and rules that fragmented (分裂) the tribes. There once were 69 tribes in the nation; now there are three. (万帕诺亚格人在马萨诸塞州和罗德岛州的部分地区生活了12000年。当清教徒遇到第一批土著人时，他们就是万帕诺亚格人。英国定居者带来了导致数千人死亡的疾病——估计有三分之二的万帕诺亚格人死亡——以及分裂部落的战争和规则。这个国家曾经有69个部落；现在只有三个)”可知，万帕诺亚格的人口急剧减少导致了万帕诺亚格语言的消亡。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Baird is a citizen of the Mashpee tribe. Her ancestors left a key to their language. They translated the King James Bible into Wampanoag. They left hundreds of documents in their written alphabet (字母表). (贝尔德是Mashpee部落的公民。她的祖先留下了他们语言的钥匙。他们把詹姆斯国王的圣经翻译成万帕诺亚格语。他们用书面字母表留下了数百份文件。)”可知，保存万帕诺亚格语的关键要素是他们祖先留下的资料给他们提供了学习的基础。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Baird describes a vision she had where her ancestors helped her see it was time to bring the language home. She began her research, which led her to a graduate degree at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she learned from and worked with other linguists. (贝尔德描述了她的祖先帮助她看到是时候让语言再次流行的情景。她开始了自己的研究，并在麻省理工学院获得了研究生学位，在那里她向其他语言学家学习并与他们合作)”和第五段“It’s incredibly difficult to reclaim a language, even more so when there are no speakers alive, and even more so when you’re driving 90 minutes a day, each way, to attend graduate school, with four small children at home.(要想重新掌握一门语言是非常困难的，当没有人活着的时候更是如此，当你每天开车90分钟去上研究生院，家里有四个小孩的时候就更是如此)”可知，贝尔德为了让万帕诺亚格语再次流行付出了很多，而且一直坚持做，所以她是一个有决心并且很有责任心的人。故选A。
C
There in every postcard-perfect picture of Greece, a bright red, green and blue boat can be seen in the sea transporting tourists to an unknown beach. Petros Tzevelekos, a fisherman from Greece, sits on a bench in front of the pier (突堤) in North Evia with a sad expression. Just a few years ago, his own kaiki was tied there. Every day, before dawn, he would climb aboard the boat to go fishing to make his living.
These handmade wooden masterpieces have witnessed the country’s long seafaring tradition for centuries, which is an important part of Greek heritage. Sadly, however, Petros Tzevelekos cannot do it anymore, because his beloved kaiki was smashed to pieces in front of his eyes. Tzevelekos’ beloved boat was one of the about 13,000 boats which have been destroyed since 1994, after a European Union directive called for the destruction of the small wooden fishing boats. The sad result Hundreds of Greece’s beautiful vessels have ended up in scraps in landfills. In addition to the great damage to the many Greeks who make a living by fishing, the directive also threatens the centuries-long traditional craft of boat-building. It led to the extinction of related boat-building professions which for decades fed and educated Greek families on remote islands and at coastal villages.
This is the same country that has Nobel Prize (1979) winning poet Odysseas Elytis, who summed up all that Greece was in five verses (诗句):
If you take Greece apart,
In the end you will be left with
an olive tree, a vineyard and a boat...
which means that with these items
you can rebuild Greece...
In 2018, the Save Kaiki Campaign was launched in Greece as an effort to stop the destruction of these treasures that once proudly roamed the seas now facing a bleak future. I can only remind that what made Greece the highly sought-after destination it is today was its fishing villages on the islands and the kaiki on the sea.
8. Why does the author mention the Greek fisherman in the first paragraph
A. To introduce the topic of the text. B. To display the Greeks’ daily life.
C. To provide the background of the text. D. To show the beautiful scenery of Greece.
9. What’s the author’s attitude to the EU’s decision
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Ambiguous.
10. What does Odysseas’ poem indicate
A. The main industry of Greece. B. The natural scenery of Greece.
C. The great civilization of Greece. D. The status of the boat in Greece.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Greece’s postcards win tourists’ favor
B. Greek traditional boats catch world attention
C. Time to save Greece’s handmade wooden boats
D. Old fishing boats bring life back to Greek villages
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了欧盟指令要求摧毁小型木制渔船，但是这些渔船为偏远岛屿和沿海村庄的希腊家庭提供了食物和教育，是希腊文明不可缺少的一部分，因此拯救Kaiki运动在希腊发起，旨在阻止这些曾经自豪地漫游在海洋上的宝藏遭到破坏。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Petros Tzevelekos, a fisherman from Greece, sits on a bench in front of the pier (突堤) in North Evia with a sad expression. Just a few years ago, his own kaiki was tied there.

Sadly, however, Petros Tzevelekos cannot do it anymore, because his beloved kaiki was smashed to pieces in front of his eyes.(这些手工制作的木制杰作见证了几个世纪以来希腊悠久的航海传统，这是希腊遗产的重要组成部分。然而，可悲的是，彼得罗斯·泽维列科斯不能再这样做了，因为他心爱的kaiki在他眼前被摔成了碎片。)”可知，作者在第一段提到希腊渔民是为了引出文章的话题。故选A。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据诗歌内容“If you take Greece apart, In the end you will be left with an olive tree, a vineyard and a boat...which means that with these items you can rebuild Greece...(如果你把希腊拆开，最后留给你的将是一棵橄榄树，一个葡萄园和一艘船……也就是说，有了这些东西你可以重建希腊……)”可推知，Odysseas Elytis的诗歌表明船在希腊的地位。故选D。

D
This winter, the U. S. state of California received unusually large amounts of rain and snow. Now, people worry that some areas will flood as the snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains melts (融化).
Ron Caetano lives about half-way between the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco. He is preparing to leave in case his community, called the Island District, floods.
More than 100 years ago, the Island District area was under a large lake named Tulare Lake. At one time, Tulare Lake was the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River. But reservoirs (水库) and watering systems for agriculture caused it to disappear. However, in very rainy years, farmland can still get covered with water.
Experts say reservoirs near the area will likely receive three times more water than they can hold this year. That means officials must increase the amount of water they release (释放) from the reservoirs. If too much water is released, the area might flood.
The Island District has organized a community network to help prepare for floods. People are placing sandbags close to elderly neighbors’ houses to block possible flooding. And they are looking at reports from water officials, county officials, and from each other.
California has had very dry weather in recent years. Both cities and farm communities acclaimed this year’s winter rains. If the weather gets warmer slowly, the snow will not melt quickly and there may be little or no flooding. But if the weather gets hot quickly, that will bring trouble from too much melting snow.
Officials announced plans to close parts of Yosemite National Park because of threats of flooding. The park is about 270 kilometers east of San Francisco in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Nicholas Pinter is with the University of California, Davis Center for Watershed Sciences. He said the lake’s size has always changed because of California’s weather. He described the surrounding area this way. “It has been an engineering problem all along,” he said. “This is a bathtub (浴缸) with no way out.”
12. What made Tulare Lake disappear
A. Lack of rainfall. B. Natural disasters.
C. Human behaviors. D. Climate warming.
13. What does the underlined word “acclaimed” mean in paragraph 6
A. Feared. B. Prevented. C. Stored. D. Welcomed.
14. What might people of California hope to happen
A. The government can help them escape. B. The weather will gradually get warm.
C. There will be more rain there. D. Officials won’t let off water.
15. What can we infer from Nicholas Pinter’s words
A. It is difficult to deal with the flood. B. It is easy to keep the snow water.
C. The surrounding area is unfit to live. D. The lake is already overflowing.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。今年冬天，美国加利福尼亚州遭遇了罕见的大量雨雪天气。现在，人们担心随着内华达山脉的积雪融化，一些地区会发生洪水。
12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“At one time, Tulare Lake was the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River. But reservoirs (水库) and watering systems for agriculture caused it to disappear.(图拉雷湖曾经是密西西比河以西最大的淡水湖。但是水库和农业灌溉系统导致了它的消失)”可知，是人类行为导致了图拉雷湖的消失。故选C。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“California has had very dry weather in recent years.(加州近年来天气非常干燥)”以及后文“this year’s winter rains”可知，加州近年来天气非常干燥，所以城市和农村社区都乐于接受今年的冬雨。故划线词意思是“欢迎，乐于接受”。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“If the weather gets warmer slowly, the snow will not melt quickly and there may be little or no flooding. But if the weather gets hot quickly, that will bring trouble from too much melting snow.(如果天气慢慢变暖，雪不会很快融化，可能很少或没有洪水。但是，如果天气迅速变热，将带来太多的积雪融化的麻烦。)”可知，加州人期待天气将逐渐变暖。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““It has been an engineering problem all along,” he said. “This is a bathtub (浴缸) with no way out.”(“这一直是一个工程问题，”他说。“这是一个没有出口的浴缸。”)”可推知，这种地理环境排水困难，对付洪水是很困难的。故选A。

Exercise lowers your chances of depression and decreases feelings of anxiety. Plus, exercise can give you a sense of accomplishment after you achieve a goal.(此外，当你锻炼时，你的身体会产生让你感觉良好的化学物质。锻炼可以降低抑郁的几率，减少焦虑的感觉。另外，运动可以在你达到目标后给你一种成就感)”可知，本句承接上文，具体说明锻炼是如何对身体有好处的，后文则补充说明对情绪的好处。故B选项“像跳跃或举重这样的运动可以帮助你保持骨骼强壮”符合语境，故选B。

【20题详解】
根据上文“Everyone can benefit from moving more and sitting less, even those with disabilities or medical problems.(每个人都可以从多动少坐中受益，即使是那些有残疾或身体有问题的人)”可知，上文提到了有残疾或身体有问题的人，故推测本句是说明这类人群在锻炼时的注意事项：在开始锻炼计划之前先和你的医生谈谈。故A选项“如果你有健康问题或其他问题，在开始锻炼计划之前先和你的医生谈谈”符合语境，故选A。

When I worked as a nurse, I was on day duty while my workmates were on night duty. On one shift, I sensed something strange just before going off duty at 1 1 am. I put down the tray (托盘) on the table and suddenly it fell off the table. At first, I didn’t care as I thought I had accidentally knocked it over, but then I felt the whole building shaking and heard patients were screaming and running madly.
At that moment, I realized that an earthquake was happening. My first thought was to rescue my patient and protect myself. I quickly caught hold of a nearby patient, who was terribly frightened and pushed her under a bed. And then, I got under another bed myself. As soon as the earthquake stopped, I decided to try and get the patient safely outside. I carried her out and helped her down to the grassland, where several other people had gathered.
As I was afraid that my other workmates were in danger, I went back inside the building again. When I met Lucy, our head nurse, I found her patient couldn’t walk. We made a seat for the patient by linking our hands and arms, and carried her outside together. We went back through the building to check if anyone was left behind in our sickroom.
Just then, we saw that a man doctor was calling for volunteers to go down to other sickrooms with him to help more patients and medical workers. So we followed him together. The doctor went ahead of us and found one of the nurses partially covered with broken stones, luckily still alive. Suddenly, the aftershock struck and the doctor ordered us to leave. The brave doctor intended to stay alone and risk his own life to save the nurse.

【答案】范文
But no one was willing to leave. We immediately took quick action to begin the rescue. We first encouraged him to keep calm and build up confidence. We gently removed the blocks one by one. Then we gently lifted her out. She was bleeding from several injuries in her body. During our rescue, there were several small earthquakes occurring and the building shook violently. Without delay, we wheeled her to the treatment room and treated her wounds as quickly as possible. Then we took her downstairs to safety.
My next task was to settle and care for the sick on the ground. I was relieved that the patients and the doctors and nurses had safely escaped from the building. However, because the patients were too weak to stand for long periods of time, I went back to the sickroom to get some quilts and spread them on the grass for the patients to rest on them. I then helped rescue workers set up tents and create a rescue center, and thus the patients recovered their normal treatment.

The Wampanoag language was not dead. To call it dead would be an insult to the ancestors who left it for future generations as a way to communicate-and a way to teach. But it was “unspoken” until linguist Jessie “Little Doe” Baird brought it back. Her project’s Wampanoag dictionary holds more than 11,000 entries.
Words on paper are not a language. A language lives through the people who speak it. So Baird founded the W pan ak Language Reclamation Project. She teaches community classes and family camps. Kids in grade school and high school have the opportunity to learn the language.
The Wampanoags have lived for 12,000 years in Massachusetts and parts of Rhode Island. When the Pilgrims (清教徒) met the first Indigenous people, those were the Wampanoags. The English settlers brought disease that killed thousands-an estimated two-thirds of the Wampanoag Nation died-as well as war and rules that fragmented (分裂) the tribes. There once were 69 tribes in the nation; now there are three. Baird is a citizen of the Mashpee tribe. Her ancestors left a key to their language. They translated the King James Bible into Wampanoag. They left hundreds of documents in their written alphabet (字母表).
Baird describes a vision she had where her ancestors helped her see it was time to bring the language home. She began her research, which led her to a graduate degree at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she learned from and worked with other linguists. In 2010, she was named a MacArthur Foundation Fellow, earning a “genius grant” to further her work.
“It’s incredibly difficult to reclaim a language, even more so when there are no speakers alive, and even more so when you’re driving 90 minutes a day, each way, to attend graduate school, with four small children at home.”
“I might have been afraid to do the work had I known that,” Baird says with a laugh now. “But I didn’t, and so here we are.”
4. What is the situation of the Wampanoag language
A. It has entirely gone by now. B. It is being brought back to life.
C. It is a compulsory course in schools. D. It has got well-recognized in the USA.
5. What may contribute to the downfall of Wampanoag
A. The wide use of English in the new land.
B. The religious change of the Wampanoags.
C. The sharp reduced population of Wampanoag.
D. The shortage of reference books on the language.
6. What’s the key element of saving the Wampanoag language
A. The local linguists lend a timely hand.
B. Children are asked to learn the language.
C. The government gives the financial support.
D. The materials ancestors left lay the foundation.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Jessie Baird
A. Determined and responsible B. Considerate and ambitious
C. Intelligent and kind-hearted D. Independent and adaptable
C
There in every postcard-perfect picture of Greece, a bright red, green and blue boat can be seen in the sea transporting tourists to an unknown beach. Petros Tzevelekos, a fisherman from Greece, sits on a bench in front of the pier (突堤) in North Evia with a sad expression. Just a few years ago, his own kaiki was tied there. Every day, before dawn, he would climb aboard the boat to go fishing to make his living.
These handmade wooden masterpieces have witnessed the country’s long seafaring tradition for centuries, which is an important part of Greek heritage. Sadly, however, Petros Tzevelekos cannot do it anymore, because his beloved kaiki was smashed to pieces in front of his eyes. Tzevelekos’ beloved boat was one of the about 13,000 boats which have been destroyed since 1994, after a European Union directive called for the destruction of the small wooden fishing boats. The sad result Hundreds of Greece’s beautiful vessels have ended up in scraps in landfills. In addition to the great damage to the many Greeks who make a living by fishing, the directive also threatens the centuries-long traditional craft of boat-building. It led to the extinction of related boat-building professions which for decades fed and educated Greek families on remote islands and at coastal villages.
This is the same country that has Nobel Prize (1979) winning poet Odysseas Elytis, who summed up all that Greece was in five verses (诗句):
If you take Greece apart,

This winter, the U. S. state of California received unusually large amounts of rain and snow. Now, people worry that some areas will flood as the snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains melts (融化).
Ron Caetano lives about half-way between the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco. He is preparing to leave in case his community, called the Island District, floods.
More than 100 years ago, the Island District area was under a large lake named Tulare Lake. At one time, Tulare Lake was the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River. But reservoirs (水库) and watering systems for agriculture caused it to disappear. However, in very rainy years, farmland can still get covered with water.
Experts say reservoirs near the area will likely receive three times more water than they can hold this year. That means officials must increase the amount of water they release (释放) from the reservoirs. If too much water is released, the area might flood.
The Island District has organized a community network to help prepare for floods. People are placing sandbags close to elderly neighbors’ houses to block possible flooding. And they are looking at reports from water officials, county officials, and from each other.
California has had very dry weather in recent years. Both cities and farm communities acclaimed this year’s winter rains. If the weather gets warmer slowly, the snow will not melt quickly and there may be little or no flooding. But if the weather gets hot quickly, that will bring trouble from too much melting snow.
Officials announced plans to close parts of Yosemite National Park because of threats of flooding. The park is about 270 kilometers east of San Francisco in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Nicholas Pinter is with the University of California, Davis Center for Watershed Sciences. He said the lake’s size has always changed because of California’s weather. He described the surrounding area this way. “It has been an engineering problem all along,” he said. “This is a bathtub (浴缸) with no way out.”
12. What made Tulare Lake disappear
A. Lack of rainfall. B. Natural disasters.
C. Human behaviors. D. Climate warming.
13. What does the underlined word “acclaimed” mean in paragraph 6
A. Feared. B. Prevented. C. Stored. D. Welcomed.
14. What might people of California hope to happen
A. The government can help them escape. B. The weather will gradually get warm.
C There will be more rain there. D. Officials won’t let off water.
15. What can we infer from Nicholas Pinter’s words
A. It is difficult to deal with the flood. B. It is easy to keep the snow water.
C. The surrounding area is unfit to live. D. The lake is already overflowing.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I worked as a nurse, I was on day duty while my workmates were on night duty. On one shift, I sensed something strange just before going off duty at 1 1 am. I put down the tray (托盘) on the table and suddenly it fell off the table. At first, I didn’t care as I thought I had accidentally knocked it over, but then I felt the whole building shaking and heard patients were screaming and running madly.
At that moment, I realized that an earthquake was happening. My first thought was to rescue my patient and protect myself. I quickly caught hold of a nearby patient, who was terribly frightened and pushed her under a bed. And then, I got under another bed myself. As soon as the earthquake stopped, I decided to try and get the patient safely outside. I carried her out and helped her down to the grassland, where several other people had gathered.
As I was afraid that my other workmates were in danger, I went back inside the building again. When I met Lucy, our head nurse, I found her patient couldn’t walk. We made a seat for the patient by linking our hands and arms, and carried her outside together. We went back through the building to check if anyone was left behind in our sickroom.
Just then, we saw that a man doctor was calling for volunteers to go down to other sickrooms with him to help more patients and medical workers. So we followed him together. The doctor went ahead of us and found one of the nurses partially covered with broken stones, luckily still alive. Suddenly, the aftershock struck and the doctor ordered us to leave. The brave doctor intended to stay alone and risk his own life to save the nurse.
