You probably don’t know how to answer that question---unless you happen to be one of the about 430 people in the world who speak a language called Matukar Panau. Then you would know it means “What are we doing?” Matukar Panau is one of the world’s rarest languages. It is spoken in just two small coastal villages in Papua New Guinea. Several years ago, David Harrison, a language expert didn’t know much about Matukar Panau either. No one had ever recorded or even studied its words and rules. With so few speakers, the language risked disappearing soon. It was endangered. Harrison didn’t want that to happen to Matukar Panau. So in 2009, he set out for Papua New Guinea. His goal: use modern technology to help the remaining speakers preserve their native tongue. But Matukar Panau is far from the only language facing loss. Studies suggest that by the end of this century, nearly half of the 7,000 languages now spoken worldwide could disappear. They’re in danger partly because the only people left speaking them are elderly adults, Harrison says. When those individuals die, their language will die with them. In addition, children may discard a native language and instead use more common global languages, such as Chinese, English or Spanish. In the United States alone, 134 native American languages are endangered. Harrison says, “language hotspots” exist all over the world. These are places with endangered languages that haven’t been recorded. They include the state of Oklahoma, pockets of central and eastern Siberia, parts of northern Australia and communities in South America. 24. The purpose of using the question “Taktak tabulaba?” is to ________. A. introduce a new foreign language B. introduce the topic of the text C. show the difficulty understanding Matukar Panau D. stress the importance of Matukar Panau 25. The underline word “discard” in Paragraph 4 means _______. A. get rid of B. pick up C. hear of D. learn about 26. The last two paragraphs imply that endangered languages are _________. A. dying quickly in Siberia B. popular in some special places C. becoming a worldwide problem D. some native tongues (C) Friday and Saturday were full of surprises for Chinese, as two places in China were listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites. The first, a World Natural Heritage, is composed of a series of migratory bird sanctuaries(候鸟保护地)along the coast of the Yellow Sea in Yancheng, East China's Jiangsu Province. The second, the Liangzhu Archaeological Site in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province, was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site. China began the application process for the bird sanctuaries in 2017. It only took two years to successfully complete the process. The reason the migratory bird sanctuary application was successful is because of the special geographical category of the area. It is the largest intertidal mudflat seashore in the world. The success of this application marks the beginning of China's world natural heritage from land to sea. The migratory bird sanctuaries are the central node of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway and many endangered species, especially threatened migratory birds including red- crowned cranes and flamingos, go there to hunt for food during the migration season. The birds usually take a month to finish their migration. At about 10 days into their migration, they must stop and find food in order to have the energy to continue their journey. Compared to the short turnaround for the World Natural Heritage's application, the Liangzhu application was far more complicated. The application team spent six years making their dream a reality. A lot of archaeological work had to be carried out for the Liangzhu site, which means the application and assessment(评定)process takes a longer time. The site in Liangzhu is evidence of the existence of an early regional state in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the late Neolithic period in China, which helps fill in the gaps in the history of the rice-cultivating civilizations of China and East Asia more than 5000 years ago. The site was one of the 20th century's most important archaeological discoveries in China. With these two new additions, China now has 55 World Heritage sites, the highest number in the world. The successful application means greater responsibility and obligations(义务). Protecting these places is much more important and is our future work. The new status of the migratory bird sanctuaries might boost local tourism industries but this too poses a challenge as local governments will need to control tourist volume so as not to impact the birds' migration patterns. Meanwhile, the sheer area that the Liangzhu Archaeological Site covers, some 14.3 square kilometers, makes protection a difficult issue to handle. Those workings at the site are busy constructing protective shelters for the site and even reburying certain areas to protect them from exposure. Plans are also underway to build a local museum for the storage and display of artifacts, so visitors can come and learn more about the history of the nation. 27. What is special about the migratory bird sanctuaries? A. It's the first China's world natural heritage on the sea. B. It provides safe habitats for endangered species. C. It's located along the coast of the Yellow River. D. It supplies abundant fresh water to migratory birds. 28. According to Paragraph 2, how do migratory bird sanctuaries protect birds? A. By creating warm places to produce baby birds. B. By preventing them from being killed by hunters. C. By providing food supplies during their migration. D. By curing the endangered birds after their journey. 29. Why is Liangzhu chosen for the world heritage site? A. It shows the long history of China. B. It proves the wisdom of the people. C. It witnesses the civilization of an age. D. It reveals the food of the late Neolithic. 30. What is the last paragraph mainly talking about? A. The application success's promotion of tourism. B. Chinese responsibilities after the successful application. C. The two places' influence on Chinese history. D. Chinese challenge of protecting birds' migration. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡将该项 凃黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A Finnish cartoon — Matti, a socially awkward stickman has become a hit in China — even inspiring a new word in Mandarin (汉语). 31..

Well, I just went to see the show, (1) and I don’t think it was the greatest. Can I have my money back? W: I’m sorry, but we can’t do that. We don’t promise that everyone will like it. Text 2 W: Good morning. Do you sell green tea here? (2) M: Sure. But why don’t you try a cup of our coffee? It’s the same price. And the black tea is very popular. Text 3 M: Hello. This is Peter Smith. I’m not in at the moment. (3) Please leave your message on the answering machine. Thank you. W: Hi, Peter. This is Mary here. How about having lunch sometime next week? Call me back. Thank you. Text 4 M: What is that smell? We have to get out of here. W: Yeah! It’s like rotten eggs and onions. Come on! (4) Text 5 W: Now, what seems to be the trouble? M: It’s nothing serious. But I always have a headache, and I haven’t slept well for several weeks. I don’t want to eat. (5) W: You do look rather pale. Let me take your temperature first. Text 6 M: What are you watching? (6) W: Oh, just the news. (6) M: Can I change the channel? (6) W: In just a minute. I want to see the end of this report. M: I didn’t know you were interested in the news. W: Well, I like Christiane Amanpour. She’s really great. She usually reports from London — the city where she was born. (7) M: I don’t know anything about her. W: She is an international journalist. (7) She goes to some really dangerous places. When there is a war, she’s usually there. M: Sounds great. W: Yeah. And — get this — she is a wife and mother, too. Text 7 M: Do you often read the paper? W: No, it’s too depressing. Every day, it’s the same. Someone dies in a car crash; gas prices go up; a plane crashes; murders and robberies are committed... (8) M: Don’t you care about what goes on in the world? W: It’s none of my business. As long as I have food on my table with my family around me, that’s all I need. (9) M: Do you watch the news on TV? W: Seldom. The TV news is similar to what’s in the paper. (10) M: So, you don’t even read the entertainment section in the newspaper? W: Oh, sure I do. I’ll read that part. It really cheers me up. Text 8 W: Hi. I made an appointment for Friday at 3:00 p.m., but I’m afraid I have to cancel. M: Thanks for letting us know. Would you like to make another appointment for the following week? W: Yes.

M: The only other time we have free is Friday at 2:30 p.m. But your regular doctor will not be here. W: Can I make an appointment with another doctor? I need to come in soon. M: Dr. Kerry has an opening on Friday afternoon at 2:30. (11) W: That will work for me. (11) M: OK. If you have any questions, please give us a call again. (12) W: Thank you very much. Text 9 W: Hello, sir. This is Jessica with Whole Foods. I’m calling to ask you… M: I’m sorry, but I don’t answer surveys. And I won’t give any money to people in need over the phone. Goodbye… W: Wait! Please, don’t hang up! I’m not calling for those reasons. (13) M: Then what do you want? W: I want to know why you buy so many cans of beans. (13) M: Um…how do you know I buy canned food? W: Every time you buy food using your store card, your purchases are recorded in the store’s computers. My company gets a report with the names and numbers of shoppers, plus what they’ve bought each month. (14) (15) From that information, we’ve found out that you buy a lot of canned beans. And I want to know why. M: Are you the police? W: No, of course not. I’m just trying to help you out, Mr. Anderson. I’ll bet you didn’t know that recent studies show that canned beans can cause serious health problems later on in life. And the more you eat those beans, the worse your health could become! (13) M: I thought beans were good for you. W: Oh, they certainly are! But when they’re pre-cooked and then put into a can, the metal reacts with the beans. This produces something that can harm your brain over the years, especially the part that has to do with memory. M: Ah…if only it would kill the memories of my former wife and leave the rest of my brain alone… (16) Text 10 M: And we are back on radio station M420! I’m here with an extraordinary young lady. She is Kobayashi from Tokyo. W: Hello, everyone. M: Miss Kobayashi is riding her bicycle from Qingdao, China to Paris, France. She has stopped by the studio here in Istanbul to talk with us. Thank you for being here. (17) W: My pleasure. It’s good to take a break. M: So, how long is this trip going to take? W: It will take a year in total. I’ve already been on the road for seven months. (18) M: Wow! That’s amazing. What has been the hardest part so far? W: Well, riding through the Middle East was difficult because of the hot, dry climate. I had to drink water almost constantly. But it was beautiful to see the sand on either side of me for several days. (19) M: What was your inspiration to take this journey? W: I’ve always wanted to see the world, but for the past five years, I’ve been training for the Olympic Cycling Team. I don’t have time for a regular vacation, (20) but since I’m training while sightseeing, it’s a perfect mix. M: Well, best of luck. Send us a postcard from Paris!

And I quite understand how you feel now. To get used to the life here, you are advised to learn about Chinese cultures. I think it a good idea to seize all the chances available to talk with the Chinese around you, from whom you will, without fail, be informed of our usual practices. Additionally, when free, you should travel around to experience local customs and cultures. I hope the suggestions will be of help and that you will have a pleasant stay here. Best wishes!
