When I first met Nao Junior, he was in his 40s and one of only nine members of his Indigenous(土著的) group, Great Andamanese, who still spoke the idiom of his ancestors. As a language specialist, I had researched more than 80 Indian languages. I was on the islands to document their Indigenous voices before they faded into whispers.
Words in this language consisted of two classes: free and bound. The free words were all nouns that referred to the environment and its inhabitants, such as ra for “pig”. They could occur alone. The bound words were nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs that always existed with markers indicating a relation to other objects, events or states. The markers came from seven zones of the body and were attached to a root word to describe concepts such as “inside”, “outside”, “upper” and “lower”. For example, the morpheme(词素) er-, which qualified most anything having to do with an outer body part, could be stuck to -cho to yield ercho, meaning “head”.
Just as a head, a bound word, could not conceptually exist on its own, the mode and effect of an action could not be divided from the verb describing the action. Great Andamanese had no words for agriculture but a great many for hunting and fishing, mainly with a bow and arrow. Thus, the root word shile, meaning “to aim”, had several versions: utshile, to aim from above; arashile, to aim from a distance; and eshile, aiming to make a hole with a sharp object.
The studies established that the language seems to be truly old in origin. In a multistage process of development, words describing diverse body parts had changed into morphemes referring to different zones and combined with content words to yield meaning. The structure alone provides an insight into an ancient worldview in which the macrocosm(宏观世界) reflects the microcosm, and everything that is or that happens inseparably connects to everything else.
29. What is the purpose of the author’s stay on the islands
A. To meet with an old friend. B. To teach Indigenous idioms.
C. To record an ancient language. D. To trace her ancestors.
30. “Aim at a pig’s head from afar” in Great Andamanese may be ______.
A. Arashile raercho B. Arashile ercho
C. Eshile ercho D. Eshile raercho
31. What can we infer from the verbs in Great Andamanese
A. A verb could describe more than one action.
B. Some of the verbs could be used on their own.
C. The locals probably live off seafood and meat.
D. The tools used in people’s daily life are diverse.
32. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. Great Andamanese is the origin of multiple languages.
B. Great Andamanese is a doorway to the ancient wisdom.
C. Great Andamanese tells the development of the community.
D. Human body shapes Great Andamanese’s unique worldview.
C
Without shiny black solar panels(太阳能板) on the roof, the residents in an apartment building in Illinois are enjoying the benefits of “community solar”—a program in which residents can buy electricity from nearby solar farms, reducing planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions and receiving discounts on their electric bills.
The solar energy in community solar doesn’t actually flow into your home, but flows into your area’s power grid(电网), providing electricity to homes and businesses in your region, and you get the benefits of government solar rewards in the form of lower electricity bills.
Among those signing up for the program is Dickerson, 73, of Oak Park, Illinois. “Try it; you’ll like it,” he said. “You’ll save money, and you’ll feel good about saving the planet—at least a little bit.” Proudly showing charts of their electricity costs in a recent interview, Dickerson and his fellow members of the community green committee, said they’re all paying less with community solar for their individual homes as well as the community’s common space.
Community solar was pioneered in the mid-2000s as a way to bring clean energy to the many American households without access to solar panels for various reasons. “Community solar is about to boost everywhere in terms of access,” said Nicole Steele, a senior advisor in the U. S. Department of Energy. “It’s just another way to be part of the clean energy transformation and see the actual benefits.”
Dickerson and his neighbour Johnson have been protecting the planet since childhood, such as leaving no litter in the forest and sorting recyclables. Therefore, they found it easy to accept community solar. Now, the building’s green newsletter, edited by Johnson, is trumpeting community solar savings. “As a parent and grandparent, it’s kind of like a heritage,” Johnson said of this work. “How could I do something that’s bad for the world in which my grandchildren are going to live ”
33. How does community solar work
A. By directly transporting energy to households.
B. By equipping residents’ rooftops with panels.
C. By storing electricity in nearby solar farms.
D. By providing electricity through the power grid.
34. Why did Dickerson and the committee members sign up for the program
A. To prevent greenhouse gas emission.
B. To reduce cost and help save the planet.
C. To experience a more convenient energy.
D. To get rewards from the local government.
35. What is Nicole Steele’s attitude to community solar
A. Doubtful B. Indifferent C. Conservative D. Approving
36. What does the underlined word “trumpeting” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Admitting shyly. B. Stating critically.
C. Explaining secretly. D. Announcing proudly.
D
For most of human history, people raised crops and livestock to feed their households rather than to sell them for profit. This began to shift after the Industrial Revolution, which saw the rise of plantation farming.
Industrial farming not only increased the crop-growing areas, but changed the techniques used by farmers. Instead of switching the crops that were grown on a field each year, entire plantations would be devoted to a single crop. This approach and intensive modes of farming led to destruction of local biodiversity and land worsening — within years, fields would cease to produce crops.
Plantations of the 18th and 19th centuries were a “get rich quick plan” rather than a long-term investment. Once a field became unusable, plantation owners would simply move on to new land. Up to the end of the 19th century, wide areas of our planet were still not claimed by global modernity. But today, while we are quickly running out of vegetative (覆盖植被的) land, this mindset continues. “Farmers still hold the view that land is cheap and limitless,” said Crystal Davis from the World Resources Institute. “Most of them just cut down more trees, when new land is needed.”
“To meet our ecological goals, we need to stop turning natural ecosystems to farmland,” Davis said. “We can achieve this in part by bringing back the land’s ecological wholeness and productivity.”
Davis points to the 20×20 initiative, which has seen 18 South American and Caribbean countries commit to recovering 50m hectares of land by 2030. It includes a number of projects aimed at introducing agroforestry (混农林业) practices to cocoa and coffee farms in Colombia and Nicaragua. There farmers are encouraged to grow crops while introducing more trees to their land.
37. What can we learn about industrial farming
A. It existed for most of human history.
B. It changed farming methods.
C. It increased crop production steadily.
D. It reduced crop-planting areas.
38. Which of the following do most farmers do at present
A. Abuse the land for quick profit.
B. Desert wide areas of plantations.
C. Adopt modern technology to farm.
D. Plant more trees to satisfy global need.
39. What can be inferred about the 20×20 initiative
A. It advocates eco-friendly farming.
B. It involves countries around the world.
C. It encourages farmers to develop more land.
D. It focuses on increasing cocoa and coffee output.
40. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. How Can We Take up Farming B. How Can We Feed the World
C. Meeting Our Ecological Goals D. Shifting to Regenerative Agriculture
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的七个选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Culture shock is the feeling of losing direction experienced by someone suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture and way of life. 41 . This guide will inform you of the different stages of culture shock, helping you be better mentally prepared.
The Honeymoon Stage
The first stage of culture shock is often overwhelmingly positive during which travelers become fascinated with the language, people and food in their new surroundings. 42 . On short trips, the honeymoon phase may take over the entire experience as the later effects of culture shock don’t have time to set in.
The Frustration Stage
Frustration may be the most difficult stage of culture shock and is probably familiar to anyone who has lived abroad or who travels frequently. At this stage, the stress of not understanding gestures, signs and the language sets in and miscommunications may be happening frequently. Small things — losing keys, missing the bus or not being able easily order food in a restaurant — may trigger frustration. 43 . These are common phenomenon that people tend to see as natural reactions.
The Adjustment Stage
44 . Navigation becomes easier, friends and communities of support are established and details of local languages may become more recognizable during the adjustment stage. People are comfortable with the cultures, people, food and languages of new environments.
The Acceptance Stage
Generally — though sometimes weeks, months or years after wrestling with the emotional stages outlined above — the final stage of culture shock is acceptance. Acceptance doesn’t mean that new cultures or languages are fully grasped. 45 . During the acceptance stage, travelers have the familiarity and are able to draw together the resources they need to feel at ease.
A. It will fade out eventually as a result.
B. It can be a difficult and overwhelming time.
C. Travelers interpret culture shocks in unexpected ways.
D. Then, depression and homesickness are bound to follow.
E. People realize a complete understanding isn’t necessary.
F. The experience seems like the greatest decision ever made.
G. Frustration often moderates as travelers begin feeling familiar.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
I ran after the train, shouting, “Hey mister, can’t you see me ” It was hopeless, as no conductor is going to slow down for a 60-year-old man who got to the station several minutes late. They absolutely didn’t know how important that day, that train ride was to me! I was on my way to an interview for what could have been the opportunity of a lifetime.
I threw both my hat and my art case down in depression, and sat down on the nearest chair, wiping the sweat from my face and breathing heavily. I would have to wait a whole day for the next train, and by then my appointment with the gallery owner would have given up on me. Perhaps it was for the best. It was, after all, the first time in 40 years anyone had shown such an interest in my art. Maybe if the gallery owner had seen all my paintings, he would have changed his mind about offering me space on his walls.
Disappointment filled my soul. Should I dial the gallery and get an interview on a different day But Pierre Gianni was the owner of the most well-known gallery in New York City. Why would he give a rare second chance to an elderly nobody when he had the newest, coolest young artists to choose from
Come to think of it, perhaps these insecurities were the very reason I had never been offered a show before. I was too afraid to try. I found countless excuses not to offer my work up to be seen and perhaps criticized. I told myself it would hurt too much if I failed, but the truth was that I had never tried.
Finally, I gathered all my courage to dial the gallery, only to find my antique cell phone had broken down. It was at the very moment that I was in total despair and decided to go home.
Suddenly I felt a touch on my shoulder. _________________________________

Suddenly I felt a touch on my shoulder. I turned around and saw an old man smiling gently at me. He told me that he had noticed the trouble I was in and offered to lend me his phone. I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude to him but words got stuck in my throat. Taking the phone he passed to me, I managed to collect myself and plucked up my courage to dial Pierre. After what seemed like an eternity, the phone was picked up. To my great relief, Pierre agreed to postpone the interview.
The next morning I got to the gallery on time. I was staring at its grandeur when Pierre approached and welcomed me warmly. Several minutes later, with trembling hands I opened my art case and showed him my paintings one by one. Pierre fixed his eyes on my works with interest, listening to me attentively. Time ticking by, I grew more and more confident and excited. He loved my works! They were scheduled to be exhibited one month later! I was never more certain that what seems far beyond is simply a leap away if you dare to give it a try.
