Sirine Jahangir has been singing, writing and performing music since she was a little girl. She lost all her vision in one eye by the time she turned 5, so now the teen uses her gift “as a way to —not escape, but to help me through.” Not only did her passion get her through some difficult times, but when she was 14 it also brought her to the “Britain’s Got Talent” stage, where she impressed everyone with her performance.
Sirine has a rare condition that left her completely blind by the time she was 10 years old. While her parents and doctors have tried to find treatments for her, there isn’t much they can do. So her parents focused on helping her adjust to her new life, which was when her dad said she was first introduced to music. “I remember one day, we were driving in the car. This is about when she was getting to the stage where she couldn’t look out the window anymore to see things, and I didn’t know what to do. I just put the music on really loud. She started singing in the car, and she was so happy. And then she just found happiness every time I put it on,” her father said.
It didn’t take long for them to realize Sirine has tremendous talent. When she appeared on “Britain’s Got Talent”, she told everyone just how much her passion means to her. “I guess music is my vision,” she said. “That’s just what I live by, and music is my thing.” Then she headed over to the piano, where she played the piano and sang beautifully enough to bring the audience to tears! Unsurprisingly to everyone but Sirine, all four judges voted her into the next round of the competition!
Afterward, she said, “I can’t even say it’s a dream come true, because I didn’t even dream of it at any point... I never thought that would be realistic in my life.”
4. What helped Sirine get through her difficult times
A. Britain’s Got Talent. B. Her passion for music.
C. Support from her parents and doctors. D. Encouragement from four judges.
5. What can we learn from the passage
A. Sirine displayed all her passion on stage. B. Sirine lost her sight totally at the age of five.
C. Her parents focused on treatments all the way. D. Sirine was not surprised at the judges’ decision.
6. What does the underlined “it” refer to in the second paragraph
A. Music. B. Clothes. C. Talent. D. Microphone.
7. Which of the following would be the best title for the story
A. Never give up your dream. B. Music lights up the world.

As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000 - 7,000 language spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, an Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations - UNESCO and National Geographic among them -- have for many years been documenting dying languages an the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University,who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalaya reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge, Turin discovered a wealth of important materials -- including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes -- which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now, through the two organizations that he has rounded -- the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project -- Turin has started a campaign t make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.
8. Many scholars are making efforts to _______.
A. promote global languages
B. rescue disappearing languages
C. search for language communities
D. set up language research organizations
9. What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Having full records of the languages.
B. Writing books on language teaching.
C. Telling stories about language users.
D. Living with the native speakers.
10. What is Turin’s book based on
A. The cultural studies in India. B. The documents available at Yale.
C. His language research in Bhutan. D. His personal experience in Nepal.
11. Which of the following best describes Turin’s work
A. Write and donate. B. Record and reward.
C. Collect, protect and reconnect. D. experiment and report
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。叙述了学者们正在努力记录濒临消失的语言和文化，来挽救这些语言。耶鲁大学的科学家Mark Turin专门研究喜马拉雅山的语言和口述传统，并他根据自己在尼泊尔一个村庄的生活经历写了一本书。他不只是满足把这些语言在灭绝前记录下来，他要把他们挽救下来，和现在的语言进行重新的连接。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。许多学者正在努力做什么？根据第二段In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations- UNESCO and National Geographic among them –have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.“为了防止语言流失，许多组织的学者——包括联合国教科文组织和国家地理组织——多年来一直在记录正在消亡的语言及其所反映的文化。”可知许多学者正在努力记录濒临消失的语言和文化，来挽救这些语言。故选B。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。第三段中的“那个传统”指的是什么？根据But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.“但他并不满足于在这些声音没有记录就消失之前把它们录下来。”可知这些语言在没有记录前就要消失了，所以这些学者对这些语言做的是最早的记录。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。Turin的书是根据什么写的？根据第三段His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.“他最近出版了一本名为《唐米语法》(A Grammar of Thangmi)的书，书中用民族语言介绍了唐米人及其文化，这本书是基于他在尼泊尔一个村庄生活、观察和养家的经历写成的。”可知他的书是根据他在尼泊尔一个村庄的生活经历写的。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。下面哪一个是对Turin的作品的最好的描述？根据最后一段Generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected.“最初收集这些材料的几代人的社区。”和Turin notes,the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.“都灵指出，这些濒临灭绝的语言可以被保存下来，并与语言社区重新建立联系。”可知Turin的作品是从最初的材料上进行的收集，他的作品使濒临危险的语言得到了保护，并且与言语重新连接。因此对他的作品做好的描述是具有收集，保护和重新连接的作用。故选C。
D
I am standing next to a five-year old girl in Pormpuraaw, a small native community in northern Australia. When I ask her to point north, she points exactly and without hesitation. My compass (指南针) says she is right. Later, back in a lecture hall at Stanford University, I make the same request of an audience of excellent professors. Many refuse; they do not know the answer.
A five-year-old in one culture can do something with ease that great scientists in other cultures struggle with. This is a big difference in cognitive (认知的) ability. What could explain it The surprising answer, it turns out, may be language.
Around the world people communicate with one another using a variety of languages—7,000 or so all told—and each language requires very different things from its speakers. For example, suppose I want to tell you that I saw Uncle Vanya on 42nd Street. In Mian, a language spoken in Papua New Guinea, the verb I used would reveal (显示) whether the event happened just now, yesterday or in the distant past, while in Indonesia, the verb wouldn’t even give away whether it had already happened or was still coming up. In Russian, the verb would reveal my gender (性别).
Research in my lab and in many others has been uncovering how language shapes even the most basic concept (概念) of human experience: space, time, and relationships to others. Unlike English, the language spoken in Pormpuraaw does not use relative spatial (空间感的) terms such as left and right. Rather speakers talk in terms of absolute directions. Of course, in English we also use direction terms but only for large spatial scales (标度). We would not say, for example, “They set the salad forks southeast of the dinner forks!” But in Pormpuraaw, absolute directions are used at all scales. This means one ends up saying things like “the cup is southeast of the plate” or “the boy standing to the south of Mary is my brother.”
12. How does the author mainly explain the role language plays in the different cognition
A. By giving numbers. B. By making comparisons.
C. By describing personal experiences. D. By presenting different viewpoints.
13. What contributes to the girl’s success in pointing the direction
A. Her training in Stanford University. B. The challenge from professors.
C. The language she speaks. D. The English culture she absorbs.
14. What can be shown from the verb used in the language Mian
A. The time. B. The gender. C. The space. D. The event.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the language spoken in Pormpuraaw
A. Favorable. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Objective(客观的)
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了语言如何影响人类对空间、时间和关系的认知能力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Around the world people communicate with one another using a variety of languages—7,000 or so all told—and each language requires very different things from its speakers.（在世界各地，人们使用各种各样的语言相互交流——总共大约有 7000 种语言——每种语言对说话者的要求都非常不同。）”可知，作者是通过描述个人经历来解释语言在不同认知中所起的作用的。故答案为 C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Unlike English, the language spoken in Pormpuraaw does not use relative spatial terms such as left and right. Rather speakers talk in terms of absolute directions.（与英语不同，Pormpuraaw语不使用诸如“左”和“右”之类的相对空间术语。相反，说话者用绝对的方向说话）”可知，是女孩所说的语言导致了她在指向方向上的成功。故答案为 C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“For example, suppose I want to tell you that I saw Uncle Vanya on 42nd Street. In Mian, a language spoken in Papua New Guinea, the verb I used would reveal（显示）whether the event happened just now, yesterday or in the distant past, while in Indonesia, the verb wouldn’t even give away whether it had already happened or was still coming up.（例如，假设我想告诉你我在第 42 街看到了万尼亚叔叔。在巴布亚新几内亚使用的 Mian 语言中，我使用的动词会揭示事件是刚刚发生的，昨天发生的，还是在遥远的过去发生的，而在印度尼西亚，这个动词甚至不会透露事件是否已经发生或仍在发生。）”可知，Mian 语言中的动词可以显示时间。故答案为 A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Research in my lab and in many others has been uncovering how language shapes even the most basic concept of human experience: space, time, and relationships to others.（在我的实验室和其他许多实验室的研究中，我们一直在揭示语言是如何塑造人类体验中最基本的概念的：空间、时间和与他人的关系。）”可推知，作者对 Pormpuraaw 所说的语言持客观态度。故答案为 D。

Does speaking on the phone make you nervous
Speaking with people on the phone is becoming rare these days. Many people prefer to use email or messaging apps when they need to communicate with someone. Sometimes, though, making a phone call is unavoidable. This simple act can actually be an unpleasant experience for some people.___16___ If this sounds familiar to you, you might be one of them who suffer from telephobia—the fear of speaking on the phone.
Telephobia is a form of social anxiety, even people who feel perfectly comfortable in social situations may also experience telephobia. When speaking face to face, we give off lots of facial cues(暗示) that help each other follow the conversation. ___17___ Very often the idea of speaking on the phone makes some people so frightened that they will freeze up or lose control of the conversation. However, there are things that they can do to ease this fear.
One thing that those with telephobia can do before making a call is smile. ___18___ It won’t get rid of the anxiety altogether, but it will take the edge off it. Similarly, imagining how the call will go before you make it can also help things go more smoothly. ___19___ That will make you feel less nervous and may help you predict any possible problems.
___20___ Well, you don’t always have to pick up the phone. There’s nothing wrong with calling the person back later when you feel more comfortable. So the next time your phone starts ringing, remember—speaking on the phone doesn’t have to make you nervous. The important thing is to be aware of your fear and take steps to deal with it.
A. This is not the case over the phone.
B. Their hearts may race at the very thought.
C What are the basic rules of making phone calls
D. Just run through a positive conversation in your head.
E. What should you do when you’re faced with receiving a call
F. It may sound silly, but smiling can help you feel more relaxed.
G. Remember to smile politely when you are introduced to someone.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Festivals are occasions that allow us to relax and enjoy life, and forget about our work for a little while.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态和定语从句。表示“时刻”应用名词occasion，在定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which或that引导。表示“让某人做某事”短语为allow sb. to do；表示“忘记”短语为forget about 。表示“暂时”短语为for a little while。陈述客观事实，用一般现在时。故翻译为Festivals are occasions that allow us to relax and enjoy life, and forget about our work for a little while.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The festival falls on the fourth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, usually lasting for three days.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语、时态、非谓语动词。表示“在（具体日期）”应用 fall on，因句子表示的是一个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时，因主语the festival为第三人称单数，谓语动词单数第三人称形式；“农历六月初四”可翻译为 the fourth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar；表示“持续”应用 last，此处用现在分词形式作状语。故翻译为：The festival falls on the fourth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, usually lasting for three days.
63. 受到启发，他邀请粉丝们录制视频。（用分词作状语）(汉译英)
_______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Inspired, he asked his fans to make videos.
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词和时态。表示“启发”应用动词inspire，作非谓语动词，与主语he构成逻辑被动关系，inspire用过去分词作状语；主语he；表示“请求某人做某事”可用ask sb. to do sth.；表示“粉丝们”应用复数名词fans；表示“录制视频”短语为make videos。为一般过去时。故翻译为Inspired, he asked his fans to make videos.
64. Festivals are becoming more and more commercial, with business taking advantage of the celebrations. (英译汉)
_______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】节日正变得越来越商业化，商家会利用这些庆祝活动（进行促销）。
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构。本句是主系表结构，主语是Festivals，系动词是are becoming，表语是more and more commercial，表示“越来越商业化”；逗号后是with的复合结构，表示伴随的情况，表示“商家会利用这些庆祝活动（进行促销）”。故翻译为：节日正变得越来越商业化，商家会利用这些庆祝活动（进行促销）。
65. The peaceful landscape of the “Emerald Isle” and its many green counties is a true feast for the eyes, with its rolling green hills dotted with sheep and cattle.（Emerald Isle绿宝石岛）(英译汉)
_______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“绿宝石岛”风光宁静秀美，郡县草木葱茏，青山连绵起伏，牛羊点缀其中，堪称一场名副其实的视觉盛宴。
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构。分析句子可知，本句是简单的主系表结构，主语是The peaceful landscape of the “Emerald Isle” and its many green counties，翻译为：Emerald Isle 绿宝石岛的宁静的风景和它的许多绿色的郡县；is是系动词，a true feast for the eyes翻译为：一场名副其实的视觉盛宴，是表语；with its rolling green hills dotted with sheep and cattle是with复合结构做状语，其中rolling green hills“起伏的绿色山丘”是宾语，dotted with sheep and cattle“点缀着羊和牛”是宾补。故本句可译为：“绿宝石岛”风光宁静秀美，郡县草木葱茏，青山连绵起伏，牛羊点缀其中，堪称一场名副其实的视觉盛宴。

Sirine Jahangir has been singing, writing and performing music since she was a little girl. She lost all her vision in one eye by the time she turned 5, so now the teen uses her gift “as a way to —not escape, but to help me through.” Not only did her passion get her through some difficult times, but when she was 14 it also brought her to the “Britain’s Got Talent” stage, where she impressed everyone with her performance.
Sirine has a rare condition that left her completely blind by the time she was 10 years old. While her parents and doctors have tried to find treatments for her, there isn’t much they can do. So her parents focused on helping her adjust to her new life, which was when her dad said she was first introduced to music. “I remember one day, we were driving in the car. This is about when she was getting to the stage where she couldn’t look out the window anymore to see things, and I didn’t know what to do. I just put the music on really loud. She started singing in the car, and she was so happy. And then she just found happiness every time I put it on,” her father said.
It didn’t take long for them to realize Sirine has tremendous talent. When she appeared on “Britain’s Got Talent”, she told everyone just how much her passion means to her. “I guess music is my vision,” she said. “That’s just what I live by, and music is my thing.” Then she headed over to the piano, where she played the piano and sang beautifully enough to bring the audience to tears! Unsurprisingly to everyone but Sirine, all four judges voted her into the next round of the competition!
Afterward, she said, “I can’t even say it’s a dream come true, because I didn’t even dream of it at any point... I never thought that would be realistic in my life.”
4. What helped Sirine get through her difficult times
A. Britain’s Got Talent. B. Her passion for music.
C. Support from her parents and doctors. D. Encouragement from four judges.
5. What can we learn from the passage
A. Sirine displayed all her passion on stage. B. Sirine lost her sight totally at the age of five.
C. Her parents focused on treatments all the way. D. Sirine was not surprised at the judges’ decision.
6. What does the underlined “it” refer to in the second paragraph
A. Music. B. Clothes. C. Talent. D. Microphone.

As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000 - 7,000 language spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, an Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations - UNESCO and National Geographic among them -- have for many years been documenting dying languages an the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University,who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalaya reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge, Turin discovered a wealth of important materials -- including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes -- which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now, through the two organizations that he has rounded -- the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project -- Turin has started a campaign t make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.

I am standing next to a five-year old girl in Pormpuraaw, a small native community in northern Australia. When I ask her to point north, she points exactly and without hesitation. My compass (指南针) says she is right. Later, back in a lecture hall at Stanford University, I make the same request of an audience of excellent professors. Many refuse; they do not know the answer.
A five-year-old in one culture can do something with ease that great scientists in other cultures struggle with. This is a big difference in cognitive (认知的) ability. What could explain it The surprising answer, it turns out, may be language.
Around the world people communicate with one another using a variety of languages—7,000 or so all told—and each language requires very different things from its speakers. For example, suppose I want to tell you that I saw Uncle Vanya on 42nd Street. In Mian, a language spoken in Papua New Guinea, the verb I used would reveal (显示) whether the event happened just now, yesterday or in the distant past, while in Indonesia, the verb wouldn’t even give away whether it had already happened or was still coming up. In Russian, the verb would reveal my gender (性别).
Research in my lab and in many others has been uncovering how language shapes even the most basic concept (概念) of human experience: space, time, and relationships to others. Unlike English, the language spoken in Pormpuraaw does not use relative spatial (空间感的) terms such as left and right. Rather speakers talk in terms of absolute directions. Of course, in English we also use direction terms but only for large spatial scales (标度). We would not say, for example, “They set the salad forks southeast of the dinner forks!” But in Pormpuraaw, absolute directions are used at all scales. This means one ends up saying things like “the cup is southeast of the plate” or “the boy standing to the south of Mary is my brother.”
12. How does the author mainly explain the role language plays in the different cognition
A. By giving numbers. B. By making comparisons.
C. By describing personal experiences. D. By presenting different viewpoints.
13. What contributes to the girl’s success in pointing the direction
A. Her training in Stanford University. B. The challenge from professors.
C. The language she speaks. D. The English culture she absorbs.
14. What can be shown from the verb used in the language Mian
A The time. B. The gender. C. The space. D. The event.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the language spoken in Pormpuraaw
A. Favorable. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Objective(客观的)

Does speaking on the phone make you nervous

Sometimes, though, making a phone call is unavoidable. This simple act can actually be an unpleasant experience for some people.___16___ If this sounds familiar to you, you might be one of them who suffer from telephobia—the fear of speaking on the phone.
Telephobia is a form of social anxiety, even people who feel perfectly comfortable in social situations may also experience telephobia.

___20___ Well, you don’t always have to pick up the phone. There’s nothing wrong with calling the person back later when you feel more comfortable.
