How the Elderly Are Treated Around the World
How cultures view and treat their elderly is closely linked to their most prized values and qualities. 1．
In the US and UK, Protestantism (新教) is at play. Western cultures tend to be youth-centric, stressing qualities like independence. 2． It ties a person's value to his or her ability to work – something that becomes weaker in old age. As their health becomes worse, the elderly in these cultures often move to old people's homes and nursing homes.
In France, parents are protected by law. It is difficult to imagine an Elderly Rights Law being a focus in the laws of many Western cultures. France did, however, pass a similar law in 2004. 3． One was a group of official statistics showing France had the highest rate of pensioner suicides in Europe, and the other was the aftermath of a heat wave that killed 15,000 people, most of whom were elderly and had been dead for weeks before they were found.
4． Native American cultures traditionally accept death as a fact of life. In many Native American areas, elders are respected for their wisdom and life experiences. Within Native American families, it's common for the elders to be expected to pass down their learning to younger members of the family.
The way to care for Chinese elders is changing. Chinese families traditionally view respect for one's elders as the highest virtue, according to the Confucian tradition. Adult children are generally expected to care for their parents in their old age. 5． Nursing homes are beginning to become a more socially acceptable option for elderly care.
A. However, this tradition is beginning to break down due to rising lifetime and an aging population.
B. In the African-American area, death is seen as an opportunity to celebrate life.
C. Here's what we can learn from other cultures about treating the elderly.
D. But China faces the unique problem of tending to an increasingly elderly population.
E. Native American elders pass down their knowledge.
F. It was only passed following two disturbing events, though.
G. This relates back to the Protestant work rules.

For centuries, Central America's Garifuna people have kept the culture's spoken history alive through their ancestors' native language. But decades of modernization, random native-language training in Garifuna schools, intermarriage between cultures, and the ridicule (嘲笑) of young people who speak the language, together led to Garifuna being listed on the UNESCO Atlas (地图集) of Endangered Languages in 2001.
The threat of language extinction isn't new. Some linguists estimate that a language dies every two weeks, as some languages become important tools for social and economic exchange, while others are pushed to the margins (边缘). But there are ways to save at-risk languages as well. The key is that the language needs to be thought of less as preserved, "but indeed part of their present and future life," says Liliana Sánchez, a linguist and professor at the University of Illinois.
That's exactly what the Garinagu (Garifuna people) are doing. For the past two decades, Garifuna artists have used a cultural cornerstone — spirited dance music — to inspire young Garinagu to learn and share their native language. Now, with a new Garifuna Tourism Trail project in Belize, travelers can experience and support the cultural revival, too.
Palacio, a leader in the cultural revival, gathered Garifuna musicians across Central America to form a band named the Garifuna Collective in 2007. Their Garifuna lyrics sent a powerful message: It's time to defend our culture. With multiple world tours and international music awards later, the Garifuna Collective put Garifuna on the international map and took Belize along with it. Although Palacio passed away in 2008, his lyrics and the work of Garifuna musicians lit a cultural flame for Garinagu worldwide.
Will music save the Garifuna language Time will tell. Garifuna remains on UNESCO's endangered-language list, last updated in 2010. And, as the Hawaiians just learned from revitalizing (使恢复生机) their own language, this kind of revival is a long, multi-generational road.
28．What is the first paragraph mainly about
A．The origin of the Garifuna language.
B．Reasons for Garifuna's being endangered.
C．The endangered languages of 2001.
D．Ways to save the Garifuna language.
29．What is Liliana Sánchez's opinion on saving at-risk languages
A．They should be protected by singing songs.
B．They should be preserved as much as possible.
C．They should be made use of in everyday life.
D．They should be advertised by tourists.
30．How does the author like Palacio's work
A．Overwhelming. B．Challenging. C．Interesting. D．Rewarding.
31．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Garifuna has been removed from the list.
B．Music is sure to save the Garifuna language.
C．It'll take great efforts to preserve Garifuna.
D．Hawaiians are better at protecting their culture.

Huang, 24, is a native of Maodao township in Wuzhishan county, South China's Hainan Province. Born into a family of the Li ethnic group, he was exposed to Li culture as a child, especially the ethnic brocade （织绵）, which is famous for its bright, striking colors. But he had no idea how to weave it. "My parents are lifetime farmers, and no one in the family really knew much about weaving the brocade" he said.
Huang did not know much about craftsmanship until he was in high school, when local authorities organized an event to introduce intangible cultural heritage to the school campus in 2016. "I was fascinated instantly," he said. Since then, he fell in love with Li brocade and became the only boy in his home village who could weave it.
"I developed a genuine and everlasting love for the ethnic craft, but some villagers cannot understand why a man is addicted to weaving," he says. "They think it's a girl's thing." Regardless of it, Huang continued chasing after his weaving dream.
The intangible cultural heritage of Li brocade dates back to more than 3, 000 years. In line with Li tradition, the weaving techniques are only "passed on to women, not to men", as in ancient China, men were supposed to do farm work while women weaved.
In recent years, Hainan education authorities have introduced the traditional craft in local schools, so that the younger generation can understand and learn about the ethnic culture.
When Huang learned of the ancient craftsmanship in high school, he started weaving almost immediately. "I gave my first handmade brocade piece to my teacher to express my gratitude for her guidance." said Huang.
32．What can we infer from paragraph 1 and 2 about the ethnic brocade
A．It is only liked by women.
B．It is famous for light colors.
C．It belongs to intangible cultural heritage.
D．All the women in Huang's home village can weave it.
33．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．The development of Li brocade. B．The definition of Li brocade.
C．The problems of Li brocade. D．The tradition of Li brocade.
34．Which of the following best describes Huang
A．Humorous and understanding. B．Determined and grateful.
C．Selfless and independent. D．Helpful and energetic.
35．What can we learn through Huang's story
A．Interest is the best teacher. B．Never give up.
C．Tradition bridges old and new. D．Honesty is the best policy.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了各种文化下对待老人的方式和老人在该文化中所处的地位。
【点评】考查七选五，本文是一篇文海类阅读，要求在理解细节信息的基础上，着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。
1．根据本文标题" How the Elderly Are Treated Around the World"世界各地如何对待老年人以及空前" How cultures view and treat their elderly is closely linked to their most prized values and qualities. "文化如何看待和对待老年人与他们最珍视的价值观和品质密切相关。可知此处应是承上启下的过渡句，既要对应全文主旨，又要引出下文， C. Here's what we can learn from other cultures about treating the elderly. "以下是我们可以从其他文化中学习到的对待老人的方法"符合语境。故选C。
2．根据空前"In the US and UK, Protestantism (新教) is at play. Western cultures tend to be youth-centric, stressing qualities like independence. "在美国和英国，新教正在发挥作用。西方文化倾向于以年轻人为中心，强调独立等品质；以及空后"It ties a person's value to his or her ability to work – something that becomes weaker in old age. As their health becomes worse, the elderly in these cultures often move to old people's homes and nursing homes."它将一个人的价值与他或她的工作能力联系在一起——这种能力在老年时会变得更弱。随着健康状况的恶化，这些文化中的老年人经常搬到养老院和疗养院。可知本段主旨是讲英美两国对待老人受到新教影响，所以西方文化往往以年轻人为中心，强调个人主义和独立自主等特质， G. This relates back to the Protestant work rules. "这一点与新教工作伦理有关"符合语境。故选G。
3．根据空前"In France, parents are protected by law. It is difficult to imagine an Elderly Rights Law being a focus in the laws of many Western cultures. France did, however, pass a similar law in 2004. "在法国，父母受法律保护。很难想象《老年人权利法》会成为许多西方文化法律关注的焦点。然而，法国确实在2004年通过了一项类似的法律。可知法国在 2004 年通过了一项保护老人的法令；以及空后又提到了两个事件，分别由 one…the other…引导，正好与 F项中的 two disgusting events 相对应，F. It was only passed following two disturbing events, though. "然而，它还是在两件令人不安的事后通过的"符合语境。故选F。
4．根据空后"Native American cultures traditionally accept death as a fact of life. In many Native American areas, elders are respected for their wisdom and life experiences. Within Native American families, it's common for the elders to be expected to pass down their learning to younger members of the family."美国原住民文化传统上认为死亡是生命的一个事实。在许多美洲原住民地区，长者因其智慧和生活经历而受到尊重。在美国原住民家庭中，年长者被期望将他们的学习传授给家庭中的年轻成员是很常见的。可知本段主要讲的是尽管当代美国文化中，大部分人谈死色变，但传统上，美洲原住居民却认为死亡是一件自然而然的事，美洲原住居民部落里，老人因其智慧和生活经历受到尊重，通常由长者把知识传给家里的年轻人， E. Native American elders pass down their knowledge. "美洲原住居民的长者将他们的知识传承下来"符合语境。故选E。
5．根据空前"The way to care for Chinese elders is changing. Chinese families traditionally view respect for one's elders as the highest virtue, according to the Confucian tradition. Adult children are generally expected to care for their parents in their old age. "照顾中国老人的方式正在改变。根据儒家传统，中国家庭传统上将尊长视为最高美德。成年子女通常被期望在年老时照顾他们的父母。谈到按照中国儒家传统，中国家庭将孝顺和尊敬老师视为做人的最高美德，成年子女通常需要照看年迈的父母；以及空后"Nursing homes are beginning to become a more socially acceptable option for elderly care."养老院开始成为社会更容易接受的养老选择。提及养老院成为更被人接受的养老选择，可知本段围绕中国对老人照顾的方式正在发生改变。A. However, this tradition is beginning to break down due to rising lifetime and an aging population."但由于寿命的增加和人口老龄化，这种传统在中国开始瓦解"符合语境。故选A。

It may seem like simple request to ask for salt and pepper at a meal “吃饭时要盐和胡椒看似很简单”说明在用餐时提出一些我们看来很平常的要求在某些国家是无礼的，符合此处语境，故选G。
10．根据空后“the more comfortable you'll begin to feel with its foreign cultural practices”你就会对它的外国文化习俗感到越舒服。可推知，此处指在一个国家待得越久，就会越习惯当地习俗，且此处是“the+比较级，the+比较级”结构，B. The more time you spend in any given country “你在某个国家待的时间越长”符合语境，引出下文。故选B。

17．句意：与传统寓言不同，卡森的故事以一种指责而不是道德结束。be different from固定短语，"与……不同"，此处形容词作状语。故填Different。
18．句意：她警告社会面临的环境危险，并教导人们必须承担起保护环境的责任。take responsibility for固定短语，"对……负责"，故填for。
19．句意：然而，卡森的主题是对环境破坏的更严重警告。形容词weighty后接名词形式。根据句中不定冠词a可知，用可数名词的单数形式。故填warning。
20．句意：卡森证明了一种简单的抒情形式，已经代代相传，今天仍然可以用来吸引人们对重要真理的关注。从句主语a simple lyric form与employ之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。情态动词can后接动词原形。故填be employed。

For centuries, Central America's Garifuna people have kept the culture's spoken history alive through their ancestors' native language. But decades of modernization, random native-language training in Garifuna schools, intermarriage between cultures, and the ridicule (嘲笑) of young people who speak the language, together led to Garifuna being listed on the UNESCO Atlas (地图集) of Endangered Languages in 2001.
The threat of language extinction isn't new. Some linguists estimate that a language dies every two weeks, as some languages become important tools for social and economic exchange, while others are pushed to the margins (边缘). But there are ways to save at-risk languages as well. The key is that the language needs to be thought of less as preserved, "but indeed part of their present and future life," says Liliana Sánchez, a linguist and professor at the University of Illinois.
That's exactly what the Garinagu (Garifuna people) are doing. For the past two decades, Garifuna artists have used a cultural cornerstone — spirited dance music — to inspire young Garinagu to learn and share their native language. Now, with a new Garifuna Tourism Trail project in Belize, travelers can experience and support the cultural revival, too.
Palacio, a leader in the cultural revival, gathered Garifuna musicians across Central America to form a band named the Garifuna Collective in 2007. Their Garifuna lyrics sent a powerful message: It's time to defend our culture. With multiple world tours and international music awards later, the Garifuna Collective put Garifuna on the international map and took Belize along with it. Although Palacio passed away in 2008, his lyrics and the work of Garifuna musicians lit a cultural flame for Garinagu worldwide.
Will music save the Garifuna language Time will tell. Garifuna remains on UNESCO's endangered-language list, last updated in 2010. And, as the Hawaiians just learned from revitalizing (使恢复生机) their own language, this kind of revival is a long, multi-generational road.
28．What is the first paragraph mainly about
A．The origin of the Garifuna language.
B．Reasons for Garifuna's being endangered.
C．The endangered languages of 2001.
D．Ways to save the Garifuna language.
29．What is Liliana Sánchez's opinion on saving at-risk languages
A．They should be protected by singing songs.
B．They should be preserved as much as possible.
C．They should be made use of in everyday life.
D．They should be advertised by tourists.
30．How does the author like Palacio's work
A．Overwhelming. B．Challenging. C．Interesting. D．Rewarding.
31．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Garifuna has been removed from the list.
B．Music is sure to save the Garifuna language.
C．It'll take great efforts to preserve Garifuna.
D．Hawaiians are better at protecting their culture.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，因为各种原因，中美洲加里福纳人所使用的语言在2001年被列入联合国教科文组织濒危语言地图集。为使该语言得以传承下去，在过去的20年里，加里福纳艺术家们用充满活力的舞曲来激励年轻的加利福纳人学习和分享他们的母语。
【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断，观点态度和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
28．考查段落大意。第一段“For centuries, Central America's Garifuna people have kept the culture's spoken history alive through their ancestors' native language. But decades of modernization, random native-language training in Garifuna schools, intermarriage between cultures, and the ridicule (嘲笑) of young people who speak the language, together led to Garifuna being listed on the UNESCO Atlas (地图集) of Endangered Languages in 2001.”主要介绍了加里福纳语变成濒危语言的四个原因：一是数十年的现代化（进程），二是加里福纳学校里随意的母语培训，三是不同文化之间的通婚，四是对说这种语言的年轻人的嘲笑。这些原因共同导致加里福纳语在2001年被列入联合国教科文组织濒危语言地图集。故选B。
29．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"The key is that the language needs to be thought of less as preserved, 'but indeed part of their present and future life,' says Liliana Sánchez"可知，在Liliana Sánchez看来，这种语言不仅需要被当成要保存的东西，而且要被当成现在和未来生活的一部分。可推知，她认为濒危语言应被使用在日常生活中。故选C。
30．考查观点态度。根据第四段中的"Although Palacio passed away in 2008, his lyrics and the work of Garifuna musicians lit a cultural flame for Garinagu worldwide."虽然Palacio于2008年去世，但他的歌词和加里福纳音乐家的作品在世界范围内掀起了加里福纳人的文化热潮。可推断，作者认为Palacio的作品是有益的。故选D。
31．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"And, as the Hawaiians just learned from revitalizing (使恢复生机) their own language, this kind of revival is a long, multi-generational road."可知，保护一门濒危的语言并非一朝一夕就能做成的事情，而是一个漫长且艰苦的过程。故选C。
（2022高三下·成都模拟）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
Huang, 24, is a native of Maodao township in Wuzhishan county, South China's Hainan Province. Born into a family of the Li ethnic group, he was exposed to Li culture as a child, especially the ethnic brocade （织绵）, which is famous for its bright, striking colors. But he had no idea how to weave it. "My parents are lifetime farmers, and no one in the family really knew much about weaving the brocade" he said.
Huang did not know much about craftsmanship until he was in high school, when local authorities organized an event to introduce intangible cultural heritage to the school campus in 2016. "I was fascinated instantly," he said. Since then, he fell in love with Li brocade and became the only boy in his home village who could weave it.
"I developed a genuine and everlasting love for the ethnic craft, but some villagers cannot understand why a man is addicted to weaving," he says. "They think it's a girl's thing." Regardless of it, Huang continued chasing after his weaving dream.
The intangible cultural heritage of Li brocade dates back to more than 3, 000 years. In line with Li tradition, the weaving techniques are only "passed on to women, not to men", as in ancient China, men were supposed to do farm work while women weaved.
In recent years, Hainan education authorities have introduced the traditional craft in local schools, so that the younger generation can understand and learn about the ethnic culture.
When Huang learned of the ancient craftsmanship in high school, he started weaving almost immediately. "I gave my first handmade brocade piece to my teacher to express my gratitude for her guidance." said Huang.
32．What can we infer from paragraph 1 and 2 about the ethnic brocade
A．It is only liked by women.
B．It is famous for light colors.
C．It belongs to intangible cultural heritage.
D．All the women in Huang's home village can weave it.
33．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．The development of Li brocade. B．The definition of Li brocade.
C．The problems of Li brocade. D．The tradition of Li brocade.
34．Which of the following best describes Huang
A．Humorous and understanding. B．Determined and grateful.
C．Selfless and independent. D．Helpful and energetic.
35．What can we learn through Huang's story
A．Interest is the best teacher. B．Never give up.
C．Tradition bridges old and new. D．Honesty is the best policy.
【答案】32．C
33．D
34．B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，报道了中国南方海南省五指山县毛道乡的一名24岁居民热爱中国传统黎族织锦，在传女不传男，家人都不太懂这项编织技术的情况下，在高中接触传统黎族织锦，凭着自己的热情和努力，跟老师学会了这门编织技术。
【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断和段落大意两个题型的考查，是一篇新闻报道，考生需要根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
32．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“Huang did not know much about craftsmanship until he was in high school, when local authorities organized an event to introduce intangible cultural heritage to the school campus in 2016.”2016直到高中，黄才对这个手工有了较多了解，2016年当地的官方机构组织了一项活动面向校园介绍非物质文化遗产。可知织绵是一项非物质文化遗产，故选C。
33．考查段落大意。根据第四段中的“In line with Litradition, the weaving techniques are only passed on to women, not to men”根据黎族传统，这项编织技艺只传给女性而不传给男性。可知，本段主要提到的是黎族织锦的一项传统，故选D。
34．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“‘They think it's a girl's thing. 'Regardless of it, Huang continued chasing after his weaving dream. ”他们认为那是女孩子干的活。黄没有管那些，黄继续追逐着他的编织梦；以及最后一段中的“I gave my first handmade brocade piece to my teacher to express my gratitude for her guidance”我把我的第一片手工织锦献给了我的老师来表达我对其指导的感恩。可知，作者是一个有决心并且懂得感恩的人，故选B。
35．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“I developed a genuine and everlasting love for the ethnic craft, but some villagers cannot understand why a man is addicted to weaving”我对这个民族的手艺产生了一种真诚而永恒的热爱，但一些村民不理解为什么一个男人会沉迷于编织；结合上下文，Huang热爱中国传统黎族织锦，在传女不传男，家人都不太懂这项编织技术的情况下，在高中接触传统黎族织锦，凭着自己的热情和努力，跟老师学会了这门编织技术。因此兴趣是最好的老师，故选A。
