26、The Wampanoag language was not dead. To call it dead would be an insult to the ancestors who left it for future generations as a way to communicate-and a way to teach. But it was “unspoken” until linguist Jessie “Little Doe” Baird brought it back. Her project’s Wampanoag dictionary holds more than 11,000 entries.
Words on paper are not a language. A language lives through the people who speak it. So Baird founded the Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project. She teaches community classes and family camps. Kids in grade school and high school have the opportunity to learn the language.
The Wampanoags have lived for 12,000 years in Massachusetts and parts of Rhode Island. When the Pilgrims (清教徒) met the first Indigenous people, those were the Wampanoags. The English settlers brought disease that killed thousands-an estimated two-thirds of the Wampanoag Nation died-as well as war and rules that fragmented (分裂) the tribes. There once were 69 tribes in the nation; now there are three. Baird is a citizen of the Mashpee tribe. Her ancestors left a key to their language. They translated the King James Bible into Wampanoag. They left hundreds of documents in their written alphabet (字母表).
Baird describes a vision she had where her ancestors helped her see it was time to bring the language home. She began her research, which led her to a graduate degree at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she learned from and worked with other linguists. In 2010, she was named a MacArthur Foundation Fellow, earning a “genius grant” to further her work.
“It’s incredibly difficult to reclaim a language, even more so when there are no speakers alive, and even more so when you’re driving 90 minutes a day, each way, to attend graduate school, with four small children at home.”
“I might have been afraid to do the work had I known that,” Baird says with a laugh now. “But I didn’t, and so here we are.”
【1】What is the situation of the Wampanoag language?
A.It has entirely gone by now.

【2】What may contribute to the downfall of Wampanoag?
A.The wide use of English in the new land.
B.The religious change of the Wampanoags.
C.The sharp reduced population of Wampanoag.
D.The shortage of reference books on the language.
【3】What’s the key element of saving the Wampanoag language?
A.The local linguists lend a timely hand.
B.Children are asked to learn the language.
C.The government gives the financial support.
D.The materials ancestors left lay the foundation.
【4】Which of the following words can best describe Jessie Baird?

27、A group of swimmers has described how a group of dolphins protected them from a group of white sharks (食人鲨)off the coast of New Zealand. The lifeguards were on a training swim when they came across a group of great white sharks before the dolphins raced in to help.
The swimmers were surrounded by the dolphins for forty minutes before they were able to make them safety back to the beach. It was an uncomfortable experience as they were circled by a group of white sharks, which came within a couple of meters of them. Lifeguard Rob Howes was in the water with a colleague and his teenage daughter. He said around half a dozen dolphins suddenly appeared and forced them to gather together. The mammals swam in tight circles to create a protective wall between the white sharks and the lifeguards as the great white sharks were under the surface.
The swimmers said the dolphins were extremely upset and repeatedly slapped (拍打) the water with their tails as if to try to prevent the white sharks from attacking them. It’s a day they’ll never forget, especially for one who was on her first day as a volunteer. They have no doubt that the dolphins acted on purpose to protect them. Researchers have said that they’re not surprised. A marine biologist insisted that dolphins, which are considered to be one of the most intelligent mammals, “like to help the helpless.”

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.

28、Ways to Sleep Smarter
Studies show that poor sleep influences people to make good decisions, focus on work and even manage a friendly mood at work. 【1】. Today we’ve got four top favorite sleep tips and facts.
Set a regular bedtime
【2】 Choose a time when you normally feel tired. Try not to break this routine on weekends when you will probably stay up late. If you want to change your bedtime, make the change gradually, such as 15 minutes earlier or later each day.
Eat the right food.
Some foods are more helpful to a better night’s sleep than others. 【3】 Others like bananas, potatoes, and whole-wheat bread are also helpful.
【4】
Exercising provides lots of good health benefits. A good night’s sleep is one of them. But make sure you exercise in the morning or afternoon. The National Sleep Foundation reports that exercise in the morning or afternoon can help deepen sleep and cut the time it takes for you to fall into sleep. However, those who worked out in the evening hours saw little or no improvement in their sleep.

29、Letting her take the wheel
My daughter, Mia, is 16 and learning to drive. Many parents are freaked out (惊慌失措) about putting their easily distracted teenagers in charge of a fast-moving thing of glass and steel. My wife refused to teach her, leaving the task to me.
I’ve learned a few things. First, Mia didn’t know how to drive at all. She didn’t even know where to put the key. It was like watching a chimpanzee try to solve a puzzle. Worse, she couldn’t remember that D was for drive, and R meant reverse (倒车).
Then came the road rules. Mia likes to sail past stop signs. I had to explain that “STOP means STOP”. Had she actually read the rule book? “Yes,” she said, but she forgot most of it. “It was so boring.”
Although I had been driving her around for her whole life, she hadn’t learned anything.
Despite these things, I’ve also learned that I enjoy teaching her. I think I’m pretty good at it. I am much calmer than I thought I would be.
I also enjoy the one-on-one time we have together. We have some good conversations. So far, we have covered her friends’ hairstyles and how stressed she feels after school. I enjoyed communicating with her.
One Sunday evening, we were driving down a narrow back street, deep in conversation, when I realized that the car was moving quite fast. “SLOW DOWN!” I yelled, yanking (猛拉) the hand brake (手刹). We stopped the car and sat in the dark for a minute. “You can’t go that fast,” I said. “You don’t know enough yet.” I put my hand on her head, “I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
“Me neither.” she said.
“Okay, cool,” I said. “Let’s go.”
She started the car and we headed back home.

31、For thousands of years, poetry (诗) has been the favorite type of literature (文学) in China. There were many famous poets from different periods of time in Chinese 【1】, and most of their poems 【2】 still read and appreciated today.
To remind people 【3】 those classic Chinese poems, CCTV has produced a TV 【4】 called Chinese Poetry Competition. The final of the show’s second season was shown in February. A girl 【5】 Wu Yishu who studies at the High School Affiliated to Fudan University, came out to be the winner of the 【6】. She recited lines from the Classic of Poetry (《诗经》): “In July, the crickets (蟋蟀) are in the field; In【7】, they are in the yard; In September, they are at the door; In October, the crickets enter and crawl under oar beds.” “I really admire 【8】 knowledge of poems. The first time I saw her 【9】 traditional Han clothing on TV, I was very impressed by her classical looks. She always keeps so calm through the show, which is very 【10】 for her age.” said Huang Zijin after watching the final show.

32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was lacking in everything needed to start a new friendship in a new town.
My parents had moved to the town when they decided to look for new jobs, but they didn't realize I was really hurt when I had to say goodbye to my old friends. It felt frightful to be a new student in my new school. When my classmates were chatting, I felt left out. I was not good at math or history, nor was I good at drawing or dancing. I was shy and timid (羞怯的). I had a few friends back at my hometown and it seemed that they were the only ones with whom I could be friends for my whole life. I felt there was no room for anyone else on my friends list. I was ashamed of myself, and believed I deserved no notice from others. That is, until Emily came to my world.
Emily was fearless, frank and easy to be around. She was everything I was not and I was too shy to come out of my shell. I met Emily in school almost every day but I never talked to her, even though we were in the same class. How I wished I could be like her, or at least be a friend of hers.
It was another ordinary day. I wandered to the bus stop in the morning and waited for the school bus. Birds were singing with their friends, but who could I sing with? I got on the bus and went straight to my usual seat, complaining in a low voice about getting up early and going to school like every other day, and about how things were going to be the same all over again. Little did I realize something different would happen that day.
注意:
1.续写词数应为80到100词;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When I got up to get off the bus, my schoolbag was stuck on the armrest (扶手).
