Two languages worldwide are lost every week.Cherokee is a highly endangered Native American language.Currently, there are fewer than 2,000 speakers of the language remaining in the world, and the number is declining every year.Keeping a language alive can strengthen people's sense of identity and most importantly, lead to the preservation of a whole culture.The creation of an album of original songs performed in the Cherokee language is one of the most original methods.
Cherokee and non Cherokee music artists decided to create a music album in the Cherokee language.This is part of a project to preserve this ancient, fading language.The album features a dozen Cherokee artists and includes a real variety of genres (类型) ranging from folk, country, and heavy metal to hip hop.
There are different ways to keep a language alive, and the album intends to bring a modern approach to the revitalization (复兴) of the Cherokee language.One promising strategy is to introduce it to young people, and what better route than to use the language of contemporary music to achieve such a meaningful goal.
“Wherever our kids are, our language needs to be there, too,” the executive director of the Cherokee Nation Language Department, Howard Paden, explained.“Our belief is very simple.The Cherokee language is so powerful that people can enjoy using it very easily and are unable to stop using it.If we can get the language around to people and make the language enter their hearts at a very young age, then they will always be connected with who we are as a people.”
Multilingualism (多语种主义) is very powerful since it provides a different way of understanding and perceiving the world.This can result in technological and scientific advancement for humankind.So preserving endangered languages like Cherokee is not only about helping specific communities affected but also about recognizing and celebrating diversity as one of humankind's greatest strengths.

We can create learning moments that students remember forever if we open up our classrooms to awe and wonder.
Toward the end of my high school year, our Spanish teacher organized a trip to see an Andean band perform in Philadelphia.My classmates and I egged one another on ironically(讽刺地): Who could enjoy the show The performers' clothing seemed odd.The instruments, strange.But then the performers kicked in, dancing to their bombo and wancara drums around the stage, and the panpipes and quena announced a kind of sound—new to us.
We had spent too little time discussing the culture of the Inca in social studies but its traditions came alive for us that evening.Once the wonderful performance lit up the stage and the hall filled up with music, my teenage cynicism disappeared.I rose out of my chair to dance with honest joy.
I have spent the last seven years living and working in South America.But my thirst for cultural exploration and a desire to understand the world outside my language and country have been alive longer than that.Sometimes I think that night dancing to those ancient rhythms unlocked this fascination.Why do I remember it so clearly decades later
In his recent book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, psychology professor Dacher Keltner explains that “brief moments of awe are as good for your mind and body as anything you might do”.Besides being a memorable emotion, awe boosts curiosity, builds humility, helps with critical thinking, and makes people feel more connected.It even makes us happier.“Twenty years into teaching happiness,” Keltner writes about how to find deep happiness, “I have an answer: FIND AWE.”
Moving forward, let's do our best to build instances of awe into our curriculum(课程).So when our former students approach us on the subway years later, they will recall the magical moments from their days spent in our classes.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。高中快结束的时候,作者的西班牙语老师组织学生去费城看乐队演出,起初被作者和同学嗤之以鼻的演出竟然非常精彩,令作者难忘。作者探寻其中的原因,认为是敬畏在起作用,并呼吁将来在课程中建立敬畏的实例,让课程令同学们难忘。
5.How did the students initially react to the Andean band's performance?( B )
A.They showed respect for it.
B.They approached it with doubt.
C.They left in disappointment.
D.They felt joyful to appreciate it.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“My classmates and I egged one another on ironically(讽刺地): Who could enjoy the show The performers' clothing seemed odd. The instruments, strange.”可知,作者和同学们讽刺地互相怂恿:谁会喜欢这个节目?表演者的服装看起来很奇怪,而且乐器也很奇怪。由其中的反问以及odd和strange可知,学生们最初对乐队的表演持怀疑态度,故选B。
6.What does the underlined word “cynicism” in paragraph 3 refer to?( C )
A.The deep understanding of music.
B.The strong enthusiasm for exploration.
C.The negative attitude to the world.
D.The sense of connection with society.
解析:词义猜测题。画线词在主句中作主语。由主句谓语“disappeared”和下文中的“I rose out of my chair to dance with honest joy.”可推知,画线词含有贬义或负面意义。再由上文中作者和同学们一开始对表演讥讽怀疑的态度可知,C项“对世界的消极态度”与画线词意思最为接近。
7.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?( D )
A.The importance of finding happiness in life.
B.The lasting impact of a memorable experience.
C.The benefits of understanding different cultures.
D.The positive role of awe in improving one's life.
解析:主旨大意题。根据第五段中的“brief moments of awe are as good for your mind and body as anything you might do”和“awe boosts curiosity, builds humility, helps with critical thinking, and makes people feel more connected. It even makes us happier.”可知,短暂的敬畏时刻对我们的身心和我们可能做的任何事情都有益;敬畏激发好奇心,培养谦逊,有助于培养批判性思维,让人们感觉更紧密,它甚至让我们更快乐。这些都属于敬畏在改善一个人的生活中的积极作用。故选D。
8.Who is the text intended for?( A )
A.Teachers.
B.High school graduates.
C.Parents.
D.Psychology researchers.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“So when our former students…their days spent in our classes.”可推知,本文是专为老师写的,故选A。

(2024·河南名校高三联考)
Two languages worldwide are lost every week.Cherokee is a highly endangered Native American language.Currently, there are fewer than 2,000 speakers of the language remaining in the world, and the number is declining every year.Keeping a language alive can strengthen people's sense of identity and most importantly, lead to the preservation of a whole culture.The creation of an album of original songs performed in the Cherokee language is one of the most original methods.
Cherokee and non Cherokee music artists decided to create a music album in the Cherokee language.This is part of a project to preserve this ancient, fading language.The album features a dozen Cherokee artists and includes a real variety of genres (类型) ranging from folk, country, and heavy metal to hip hop.
There are different ways to keep a language alive, and the album intends to bring a modern approach to the revitalization (复兴) of the Cherokee language.One promising strategy is to introduce it to young people, and what better route than to use the language of contemporary music to achieve such a meaningful goal.
“Wherever our kids are, our language needs to be there, too,” the executive director of the Cherokee Nation Language Department, Howard Paden, explained.“Our belief is very simple.The Cherokee language is so powerful that people can enjoy using it very easily and are unable to stop using it.If we can get the language around to people and make the language enter their hearts at a very young age, then they will always be connected with who we are as a people.”
Multilingualism (多语种主义) is very powerful since it provides a different way of understanding and perceiving the world.This can result in technological and scientific advancement for humankind.So preserving endangered languages like Cherokee is not only about helping specific communities affected but also about recognizing and celebrating diversity as one of humankind's greatest strengths.

(2024·吉林四校高三模拟)
We can create learning moments that students remember forever if we open up our classrooms to awe and wonder.
Toward the end of my high school year, our Spanish teacher organized a trip to see an Andean band perform in Philadelphia.My classmates and I egged one another on ironically(讽刺地): Who could enjoy the show The performers' clothing seemed odd.The instruments, strange.But then the performers kicked in, dancing to their bombo and wancara drums around the stage, and the panpipes and quena announced a kind of sound—new to us.
We had spent too little time discussing the culture of the Inca in social studies but its traditions came alive for us that evening.Once the wonderful performance lit up the stage and the hall filled up with music, my teenage cynicism disappeared.I rose out of my chair to dance with honest joy.
I have spent the last seven years living and working in South America.But my thirst for cultural exploration and a desire to understand the world outside my language and country have been alive longer than that.Sometimes I think that night dancing to those ancient rhythms unlocked this fascination.Why do I remember it so clearly decades later
In his recent book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, psychology professor Dacher Keltner explains that “brief moments of awe are as good for your mind and body as anything you might do”.Besides being a memorable emotion, awe boosts curiosity, builds humility, helps with critical thinking, and makes people feel more connected.It even makes us happier.“Twenty years into teaching happiness,” Keltner writes about how to find deep happiness, “I have an answer: FIND AWE.”
Moving forward, let's do our best to build instances of awe into our curriculum(课程).So when our former students approach us on the subway years later, they will recall the magical moments from their days spent in our classes.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。高中快结束的时候,作者的西班牙语老师组织学生去费城看乐队演出,起初被作者和同学嗤之以鼻的演出竟然非常精彩,令作者难忘。作者探寻其中的原因,认为是敬畏在起作用,并呼吁将来在课程中建立敬畏的实例,让课程令同学们难忘。
5.How did the students initially react to the Andean band's performance?( )
A.They showed respect for it.
B.They approached it with doubt.
C.They left in disappointment.
D.They felt joyful to appreciate it.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“My classmates and I egged one another on ironically(讽刺地): Who could enjoy the show The performers' clothing seemed odd. The instruments, strange.”可知,作者和同学们讽刺地互相怂恿:谁会喜欢这个节目?表演者的服装看起来很奇怪,而且乐器也很奇怪。由其中的反问以及odd和strange可知,学生们最初对乐队的表演持怀疑态度,故选B。
B
6.What does the underlined word “cynicism” in paragraph 3 refer to?( )
A.The deep understanding of music.
B.The strong enthusiasm for exploration.
C.The negative attitude to the world.
D.The sense of connection with society.
解析:词义猜测题。画线词在主句中作主语。由主句谓语“disappeared”和下文中的“I rose out of my chair to dance with honest joy.”可推知,画线词含有贬义或负面意义。再由上文中作者和同学们一开始对表演讥讽怀疑的态度可知,C项“对世界的消极态度”与画线词意思最为接近。
C
7.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?( )
A.The importance of finding happiness in life.
B.The lasting impact of a memorable experience.
C.The benefits of understanding different cultures.
D.The positive role of awe in improving one's life.
解析:主旨大意题。根据第五段中的“brief moments of awe are as good for your mind and body as anything you might do”和“awe boosts curiosity, builds humility, helps with critical thinking, and makes people feel more connected. It even makes us happier.”可知,短暂的敬畏时刻对我们的身心和我们可能做的任何事情都有益;敬畏激发好奇心,培养谦逊,有助于培养批判性思维,让人们感觉更紧密,它甚至让我们更快乐。这些都属于敬畏在改善一个人的生活中的积极作用。故选D。
D
8.Who is the text intended for?( )
A.Teachers.
B.High school graduates.
C.Parents.
D.Psychology researchers.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“So when our former students…their days spent in our classes.”可推知,本文是专为老师写的,故选A。
