层级二 语言能力训练
阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2.5分,满分20分)
A
Bactrian camels (骆驼) in the Gobi usually give birth to a baby camel every second year. But because of the terrible weather conditions, it is common for a mother or baby to die during or after delivery. The result is often lonely babies and sad mothers who need one another.
After centuries in the desert, the locals have developed a unique musical practice (操作) when they want a mother camel to accept a newborn baby camel. When the practice starts, a musician plays his instrument, usually a Mongolian flute. The mother and baby are tied together, and another musician begins to sing: “Khuus, khuus, khuus.”
At first, the mother either pays no attention to the baby or treats it badly. The “coaxer (劝诱者)”, at this point, changes the music based on the behavior. The singer begins to copy the sound of the camel's walking, running and voices. After many hours of this, the mother and baby are in tears, and are joined for life.
However, each year fewer and fewer young people are willing to learn and pass on this tradition. In addition,more and more Mongolian families are sending daughters away to study and live in cities, and those who leave almost never return. The young men who remain in the desert struggle then to find wives and raise families that can help raise camels and keep the traditions alive. On top of that, many have discovered that motorbikes are cheaper than camels. All of these are killing the traditional way of life.
A few Mongolians have turned to the United Nations to help save this practice. In 2015, they added it to their “List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding”, but it's hard to know what influence this can have beyond recognizing the existence of the practice.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蒙古族当地的一种习俗,通过劝诱者的哄诱来加强母骆驼和小骆驼的关系,然而随着当地人生活方式的改变,这种惯例和传承已经处于濒危之中。

Tugce Seren Gul's aunt and grandmother were killed in Antakya in Turkey's south. Every night, she waits until 4:17 a.m. in the morning, the exact time when the disaster hit, to try to go to sleep. “I keep thinking another disaster will strike at that time and just wait for it to pass,” said the 28yearold Gul.
Experts fear children will be hardest hit. The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) said many of the more than 5.4 million children who live across the area affected by the earthquake were at risk of developing anxiety, depression and other disorders.
“We know how important learning and routine are for children and their recovery,” UNICEF Regional Director for Europe and Central Asia Afshan Khan said after a visit to Turkey. “They need to be able to resume their education, and they urgently need psychological support to help deal with the trauma they have experienced.”
Psychologist and professor at MEF University, Ayse Bilge Selcuk said, “As rising poverty and the pandemic have hurt the country, the stress is chronic,__meaning that the tension continues over time. For this nation to get back on its feet, we need to find that strength within us and that starts with our psychology.” Anxiety, helplessness and depression are likely to be common and young people could feel anger. “Rebuilding efforts should include mental health,” Selcuk said. She urged the government to provide money for training psychologists to be sent to the earthquake areas to stay there. “We shouldn't withdraw our attention three months later,” she said.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述的是精神卫生保健是土耳其地震后重建的重要组成部分。

A.More than 5.4 million children have mental health problems.
B.International aid is the main solution.
C.Focusing on mental relief should last.

7.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “chronic” in the fourth paragraph?( )
A.Permanent. B.Destructive.
C.Poisonous. D.Unbearable.
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词后“meaning that the tension continues over time (也就是说这种紧张关系会持续一段时间)”可知,画线词的意思是“持久的,长期不变的”。故选A。
