The unusual whistle language used as a means of communication by villagers in the remote and mountainous northern Turkey has been added to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage
The language is a highly developed high-pitched system of whistling to communicate in rugged (崎岖的) areas where people mostly cannot see each other. It can allow people to communicate across great distances, up to 5 pared with other similar whistle languages in Spain’s Canary Islands, in Mexico, or in Greek villages, it has a higher tone and larger vocabulary.
This unusual form of communication, which dates from some 500 years ago, was born from sheer necessity and widespread across the Black Sea regions.
But 50 years ago, it suffered the impact of the progression of technology and nowadays the rapid growth of cellular mobile systems has put this cultural heritage under serious threat.
For centuries, the language has been passed on from grandparents to parents, from parents to children. Now, though, many of its most proficient (精通的) speakers who use their tongue, teeth and fingers are aging and all becoming physically weak. Young people are no longer interested in learning the language or in finding ways to update its vocabulary with new words, and in a few generations it may be gone for good.
“Our bird language is very convenient and efficient to communicate across the valleys. It has many benefits over yelling, which is bad for our throats,”said Avni Kocek, head of the bird village adding that despite setbacks because of technology, “Bird language is still used by many of us. Whistle language is transmitted from our elders to us and we have the duty to transmit it to our children. We are making efforts to keep our culture alive through the annual Bird Language Festival. ”
Besides, the bird language has been required to be taught at primary schools since 2014 by district authorities in order to instill (灌输) the practice in younger generations.
24. What is the bird language’s advantage over other similar whistle languages
A. It is used as a means of communication.
B. It is older and has a larger number of users.
C. It is a completely different system of whistling.
D. It has a higher tone and larger vocabulary.
25. What’s the biggest threat to the bird language
A. Other whistle languages are more effectively protected.
B. The necessity to use it in everyday life is disappearing.
C. Many of its most proficient speakers are growing old.
D. Young people find it too difficult to learn well enough.
26. What’s the effective measure so far taken to protect the bird language
A. It has become a subject at primary schools.
B. Bird Language Festival is celebrated every month.
C. Cellular mobile systems are not allowed in the area.
D. All parents are required to transmit it to their children.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Celebrating the Bird Language Festival
B. The Story of a Bird Language Speaker
C. Preserving the Endangered Bird Language
D. The Disappearance of Bird Language

A nickname is a shortened form of a person's name. A nickname can also be a descriptive name for a person, place or thing. Many American cities have nicknames.
Los Angeles has several nicknames. One is simply the city's initials, LA. It is also called "The City of Angels" because Los Angeles means “the angels” in Spanish.
Los Angeles often has warm sunny weather. So another nickname is “City of Flowers and Sunshine”. New York is called “The Big Apple”. So Los Angeles is sometimes called “The Big Orange” because of the fruit that grows in that city's warm climate.
The American motion picture and television industries are based in Los Angeles. So it is not surprising that it is called “The Entertainment Capital of the World”. Many films are made in the area of Los Angeles called Hollywood. Millions of people visit the area. No trip to Los Angeles is completely without seeing the word “Hollywood” spelled out in huge letters on a hillside.
Many movie stars live in Los Angeles. The city is sometimes called “Tinseltown”. This nickname comes from the shiny, bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry.
Another nickname for Los Angeles is “La–La Land”, using the first letters of Los and Angeles. This means a place that is fun and not serious, and maybe even out of touch with reality.
The city of Los Angeles is part of Los Angeles County. There are many smaller cities in the county. Beverly Hills, with its rich people, is one of them. So is Pasadena, with its Rose Parade each New Year's Day.
A good place for watching unusual-looking people is Venice, an area on the west side of Los Angeles. A system of waterways designed after the Italian city of Venice has been built there.
28. What's the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To tell us what a nickname is. B. To prove that nicknames are popular.
C. To lead us into the topic to be presented. D. To tell us some people's nicknames.
29. Which of the following is NOT the nickname for Los Angeles in the passage
A. LA. B. City of Flowers and Sunshine.
C. The City of Angels. D. The Big Apple.
30. Why is Los Angeles called “The Entertainment Capital of the World”
A. Because Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather.
B. Because many movie stars live in Los Angeles.
C. Because there are many smaller cities in the county.
D. Because the American motion picture and television industries are there.
31. The underlined part “out of touch with reality” in Paragraph 6 can probably be replaced by “______”.
A. fantastic B. false C. real D. practical
D
Most people know the feeling when you walk into a lift with other people. A study has found that where people stand is based on their social position on entering the lift.
Rebekah Rousi, a Ph. D, did a study of lift behavior in two of the tallest office buildings in Adelaide, Australia. As part of her research, she took a total of 30 lift rides in the two buildings, and discovered there was a fixed order about where people chose to stand.
In her research paper, she wrote that more senior men seemed to walk straight towards the back of the lift. She said, “In front of them were younger men and women of all ages.” She also noticed there was a difference in the direction where people look during the ride. “Men watched the monitors, looked in the side mirrors (in one building) to see themselves, and in the door mirrors (in the other building) to watch others. Women would watch the monitors and avoid looking into others’ eyes (unless in conversations) and the mirrors.”
Rebekah Rousi concluded that shyer people stand toward the front, where they won’t see other passengers, while fearless people stand in the back, where they have a good view of everyone else.
32. According to the study, where people stand in a lift is determined by .
A. other passengers B. the monitors
C. their social position D. others’ position
33. Who may be likely to go to the front of the lift
A. Fearless people. B. Senior men.
C. Middle-aged men. D. Younger women.
34. What can be learned from the passage
A. The order in which people stand in a lift is fixed.
B. Few people feel embarrassed with strangers in a lift.
C. Women like watching themselves in the side mirrors.
D. Fearless people stand in the back to avoid seeing others.
35. Where is the passage probably taken from
A. A newspaper. B. A brochure. C. A travel guide. D. A lift instruction.

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
In 1963, at age 65, my grandfather, Erwin, decided to start a crazy project: He wanted to build a new house. He wasn’t quite sure what to do with the old house. It seemed a waste to destroy it, but something had to give, since it sat where the new house would be. At last, he hired a powerful vehicle to push the old house far out into a forest.
After my grandfather passed away, I purchased a near farm. When we first moved in, we asked friends to a party. They took one look at the old house and all suggested pulling it down. I agreed. Days later, I was prepared to carry out the project. But I considered it wise to check out the old house first, just in case something of value had been left behind.
My two young sons followed, and we walked through the tall grass in the field where the old house sat. Time had caused a lot of damage to it. The front porch (门廊) had fallen down, most of the windows were gone, and the siding was falling off. The kids were amazed that nine people once occupied the tiny structure, and that they did so without running water or electricity. We entered through an open window.
I felt as though I had discovered a time capsule (胶囊) unexpectedly. Here lay various witnesses to my grandparents’ lives. A broken chair, some old clothes, large bags used for grain, a cookstove and a cardboard box stuffed with canceled checks and greeting cards. But a pile of papers on the floor drew my eye. An envelope, yellowed with age, lay on top. A blue stamp on the envelope read “Passed by Naval Censor”. I knew it was from my father. He had served in the navy and written home whenever he could. My grandmother saved all of his letters. Father passed away due to a massive heart attack two years ago. The entire family was sad about his passing, none more than me. I’ve been missing him badly.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150词左右；
2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
Paragraph 1:
How could I have missed this treasure
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
At the bottom, there were words in underlined print: “Can’t wait to be back home.”

The unusual whistle language used as a means of communication by villagers in the remote and mountainous northern Turkey has been added to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
The language is a highly developed high-pitched system of whistling to communicate in rugged (崎岖的) areas where people mostly cannot see each other. It can allow people to communicate across great distances, up to 5 pared with other similar whistle languages in Spain’s Canary Islands, in Mexico, or in Greek villages, it has a higher tone and larger vocabulary.
This unusual form of communication, which dates from some 500 years ago, was born from sheer necessity and widespread across the Black Sea regions.
But 50 years ago, it suffered the impact of the progression of technology and nowadays the rapid growth of cellular mobile systems has put this cultural heritage under serious threat.
For centuries, the language has been passed on from grandparents to parents, from parents to children. Now, though, many of its most proficient (精通的) speakers who use their tongue, teeth and fingers are aging and all becoming physically weak. Young people are no longer interested in learning the language or in finding ways to update its vocabulary with new words, and in a few generations it may be gone for good.
“Our bird language is very convenient and efficient to communicate across the valleys. It has many benefits over yelling, which is bad for our throats,”said Avni Kocek, head of the bird village adding that despite setbacks because of technology, “Bird language is still used by many of us. Whistle language is transmitted from our elders to us and we have the duty to transmit it to our children. We are making efforts to keep our culture alive through the annual Bird Language Festival. ”
Besides, the bird language has been required to be taught at primary schools since 2014 by district authorities in order to instill (灌输) the practice in younger generations.
24. What is the bird language’s advantage over other similar whistle languages
A. It is used as a means of communication.

B. The necessity to use it in everyday life is disappearing.
C. Many of its most proficient speakers are growing old.
D. Young people find it too difficult to learn well enough.
26. What’s the effective measure so far taken to protect the bird language
A. It has become a subject at primary schools.
B. Bird Language Festival is celebrated every month.
C. Cellular mobile systems are not allowed in the area.
D. All parents are required to transmit it to their children.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text

A nickname is a shortened form of a person's name. A nickname can also be a descriptive name for a person, place or thing. Many American cities have nicknames.
Los Angeles has several nicknames. One is simply the city's initials, LA. It is also called "The City of Angels" because Los Angeles means “the angels” in Spanish.
Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather. So another nickname is “City of Flowers and Sunshine”. New York is called “The Big Apple”. So Los Angeles is sometimes called “The Big Orange” because of the fruit that grows in that city's warm climate.
The American motion picture and television industries are based in Los Angeles. So it is not surprising that it is called “The Entertainment Capital of the World”. Many films are made in the area of Los Angeles called Hollywood. Millions of people visit the area. No trip to Los Angeles is completely without seeing the word “Hollywood” spelled out in huge letters on a hillside.
Many movie stars live in Los Angeles. The city is sometimes called “Tinseltown”. This nickname comes from the shiny, bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry.
Another nickname for Los Angeles is “La–La Land”, using the first letters of Los and Angeles. This means a place that is fun and not serious, and maybe even out of touch with reality.
The city of Los Angeles is part of Los Angeles County. There are many smaller cities in the county. Beverly Hills, with its rich people, is one of them. So is Pasadena, with its Rose Parade each New Year's Day.
A good place for watching unusual-looking people is Venice, an area on the west side of Los Angeles. A system of waterways designed after the Italian city of Venice has been built there.

Most people know the feeling when you walk into a lift with other people. A study has found that where people stand is based on their social position on entering the lift.
Rebekah Rousi, a Ph. D, did a study of lift behavior in two of the tallest office buildings in Adelaide, Australia. As part of her research, she took a total of 30 lift rides in the two buildings, and discovered there was a fixed order about where people chose to stand.
In her research paper, she wrote that more senior men seemed to walk straight towards the back of the lift. She said, “In front of them were younger men and women of all ages.” She also noticed there was a difference in the direction where people look during the ride. “Men watched the monitors, looked in the side mirrors (in one building) to see themselves, and in the door mirrors (in the other building) to watch others. Women would watch the monitors and avoid looking into others’ eyes (unless in conversations) and the mirrors.”
Rebekah Rousi concluded that shyer people stand toward the front, where they won’t see other passengers, while fearless people stand in the back, where they have a good view of everyone else.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美式英语与英式英语的一些区别。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意：今天，美式英语在国际上普遍使用。表示“普遍使用”短语为in common use。故填in。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意：它与英式英语在几个方面不同，主要是在拼写和词汇方面。修饰后文介词短语in spelling and vocabulary，应用副词largely。故填largely。
【58题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：一些美式拼写是由诺亚·韦伯斯特创造的，他编写了美国最早的词典之一。主语与谓语构成被动关系，根据后文made可知为一般过去时的被动语态，主语为复数名词，谓语用复数。故填were created。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：一些美式拼写是由诺亚·韦伯斯特创造的，他编写了美国最早的词典之一。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Noah Webster，在从句中作主语，指人，故填who。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，美国人说给汽车加gas然后沿着高速公路行驶，而在英国，人们给汽车加petrol然后沿着高速公路行驶。作介词about的宾语，应用动名词形式。故填putting。
【61题详解】
考查代词。句意：例如，美国人说给汽车加gas然后沿着高速公路行驶，而在英国，人们给汽车加petrol然后沿着高速公路行驶。修饰名词cars应用形容词性物主代词their。故填their。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：美国人乘坐elevator到建筑物的顶层，但英国人选择使用lift。短语choose to do sth.表示“选择做某事”。故填to use。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意：美国人住apartment，而英国人住flat。apartment为泛指，且是发音以元音音素开头的单词。故填an。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这并不像看起来那么令人困惑：通常来自两个国家的人可以从上下文中理解对方。作表语，表示“令人困惑的”应用形容词confusing。故填confusing。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意：但这并不能阻止他们友好地争论哪个词是“正确的”！作宾语，结合不定冠词可知用单数名词argument。故填argument。

【答案】Dear Linda,
Words cannot express how sorry I am to hear that you do not have a good study in China because you can not adapt to the new environment. Don’t worry! Here, I will offer you some tips.
In the first place, why not take the initiative in learning about Chinese culture By doing this, I believe that you will be able to fit in a foreign community soon.

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
In 1963, at age 65, my grandfather, Erwin, decided to start a crazy project: He wanted to build a new house. He wasn’t quite sure what to do with the old house. It seemed a waste to destroy it, but something had to give, since it sat where the new house would be. At last, he hired a powerful vehicle to push the old house far out into a forest.
After my grandfather passed away, I purchased a near farm. When we first moved in, we asked friends to a party. They took one look at the old house and all suggested pulling it down. I agreed. Days later, I was prepared to carry out the project. But I considered it wise to check out the old house first, just in case something of value had been left behind.
My two young sons followed, and we walked through the tall grass in the field where the old house sat. Time had caused a lot of damage to it. The front porch (门廊) had fallen down, most of the windows were gone, and the siding was falling off. The kids were amazed that nine people once occupied the tiny structure, and that they did so without running water or electricity. We entered through an open window.
I felt as though I had discovered a time capsule (胶囊) unexpectedly. Here lay various witnesses to my grandparents’ lives. A broken chair, some old clothes, large bags used for grain, a cookstove and a cardboard box stuffed with canceled checks and greeting cards. But a pile of papers on the floor drew my eye. An envelope, yellowed with age, lay on top. A blue stamp on the envelope read “Passed by Naval Censor”. I knew it was from my father. He had served in the navy and written home whenever he could. My grandmother saved all of his letters. Father passed away due to a massive heart attack two years ago. The entire family was sad about his passing, none more than me. I’ve been missing him badly.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150词左右；
2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
Paragraph 1:
How could I have missed this treasure
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
At the bottom, there were words in underlined print: “Can’t wait to be back home.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
How could I have missed this treasure I took the letter carefully out of its envelope. It was dated September 1944. My father would have been somewhere on a different kind of sea. I studied the familiar scrawl. He wondered how the grain harvest had been and how his uncle’s new team of horses was working. He supposed that his youngest brother was starting first grade and imagined that he was becoming quite the little man. He asked his mother to greet everyone.
Paragraph 2:
At the bottom, there were words in underlined print: ”Can’t wait to be back home.” Tears welled up in my eyes as I read those words he had so carefully emphasized. I could sense between the lines that the young man missed his home and family so much. This tiny structure was the most precious place for my father. As I left the old house that day, I took one last glance back at it over my shoulder. I don’t care what anyone thinks, I decided. That old house gets to stay there until it rots into the earth.
