地狱降临珍珠港
那一天是1941年12月7日,星期日。和往常一样,起床的号声在凌晨5点45分吹响。在美国“亚利桑那号”战列舰上的人们伸了伸懒腰,揉了揉眼睛。拉塞尔·沃里纳海员被路易·孔泰军需官喊醒。拉塞尔整理好床铺,帮忙收拾好共用的大房间。他们上了洗手间,穿上制服,坐下来吃早饭。那一天仿佛会是船上一个寻常的日子。
But nobody ate their breakfast: at that moment, there was a huge crashing sound from above.The ship shook violently⑧ and the men looked at each other in horror⑨.Above their heads, hundreds of Japanese planes circled like eagles⑩.They were diving⑪ down to drop bombs on Pearl Harbor.The scream of their engines was deafening⑫.As bombs thundered⑬ all around, clouds of black smoke rose into the sky and hung over the sea.Russell felt his blood freeze⑭, but he quickly came to himself⑮ and rushed up to the deck⑯.Moments later, a bomb hit the USS Arizona and Russell was thrown more than 100 meters across the ship.He suffered serious burns on his hands, arms and legs, and watched many of his friends die.

但是,他们都没吃成早饭:就在那一刻,头顶上方传来了巨大的轰隆声。船体猛烈摇晃,他们都惊恐地望着对方。数百架日军飞机像老鹰一样盘旋在他们头顶上方。它们正俯冲下来,将炸弹投向珍珠港。引擎的轰鸣声震耳欲聋。四周炸弹发出轰隆隆的声音,滚滚黑烟升腾入空,笼罩着海面。拉塞尔感到自己的血液都凝固了,但是他很快镇定下来,冲上了甲板。片刻以后,一枚炸弹就击中了“亚利桑那号”战列舰,将拉塞尔甩过船身一百多米远。他的双手、双臂和双腿都严重烧伤,他眼见着许多朋友死去。
Louis, meanwhile⑰, also standing on the deck, was lucky not to be thrown into the sea.With only minor injuries, he was able to help others who were severely burnt and in terrible pain.After receiving the order to abandon ship, Louis saved more men from the water, dragging⑱ them into the lifeboat.In the chaos⑲ and confusion⑳ after the attack, the US Navy㉑ sent a message to his family that Louis had been killed in the attack.Luckily, he was able to get in touch with㉒ them before the message arrived.Despite his remarkable㉓ actions, Louis did not think that he was a hero.“The heroes are the ones that gave their lives that day,”he said.

与此同时,路易也站在甲板上,很幸运没有被甩到大海里。他只受了轻伤,能够帮助其他重度烧伤并疼痛难忍的人。在接到弃船的命令后,路易又从水里救上来更多的人,将他们拖到救生艇上。在袭击之后的混乱中,美国海军给他的家人送去一条消息,称路易已经在袭击中丧生了。幸运的是,他成功地在消息抵达之前与家人取得了联络。尽管路易表现出色,但他并不认为自己是个英雄。“真正的英雄是在那一天献出生命的人。”他说。
Russell was saved from the water, but he was badly burnt, bleeding㉔ heavily.F8Fortunately, he was taken to hospital and survived㉕.For many years, Russell refused to talk about what happened that morning, describing it simply as“hell”.9 His wife Elsa said, “When he opened up㉖ later on, he always mentioned the horror of it.”

落入水中的拉塞尔被救了上来,但是他严重烧伤,大量出血。幸运的是,他被送到医院,存活了下来。多年以来,拉塞尔都拒绝谈论那天上午发生的事情,只是简单地将它描述成“地狱”。他的妻子埃尔莎说:“后来当他敞开了心扉,总是提起那件事有多恐怖。”
Louis and Russell would never forget the terrible scene of the attack, but they were fortunate enough to be among the few survivors from the Arizona. 10 Nobody had expected the bombing.Japan had hatched㉗ a plot㉘ to launch a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, so the attack began without warning and without declaring war on㉙ the United States.The attack destroyed nearly 20 American ships and over 180 airplanes.In total㉚, more than 2,000 American people were killed and over 1,000 others were wounded that day.More than 1,000 people aboard the Arizona lost their lives㉛.Out of 37 sets of brothers, Russell and his brother were the only full pair to survive the attack.

㉚in total 总共
㉛lose one's life 丧生
路易和拉塞尔永远都不会忘记那次袭击的可怕场面,但是他们又足够幸运,成为“亚利桑那号”少数的幸存者。谁也没有预料到这场空袭。日本密谋了对珍珠港的偷袭,所以袭击发起之时,没有预警,没有对美国宣战。这场突袭摧毁了近20艘美国舰船和180多架飞机。那一天总共有2 000多名美国人遇害,另有1 000多人受伤。“亚利桑那号”上有1 000多人失去了生命。在船上的37对兄弟里,只有拉塞尔和他的兄弟在袭击中幸存下来。
The surprise attack came as a great shock㉜ to the whole nation.The next day,President Roosevelt delivered㉝ his famous Pearl Harbor Speech, in which he described December 7 as “a date which will live in infamy㉞” and asked that the US Congress declare war on Japan. 11 In response to the attack and the president's address, the United States joined the Second World War.

这场突袭震惊了整个国家。次日,罗斯福总统发表了他著名的《珍珠港演说》,他在演讲中将12月7日描述成“活在耻辱中的日子”,并要求美国国会向日本宣战。美国加入了第二次世界大战,对这场袭击和总统演说做出了回应。
Today, the USS Arizona lies where it sank㉟:in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.Its location㊱ is marked with㊲ a memorial㊳ shaped like a bridge, which crosses the ship's sunken remains. 12 Each year, more than two million people visit the memorial.They come to see the shadow of the ship at the bottom of Pearl Harbor, to learn about the attack, to show respect for㊴ those who had lost their lives in the attack and to pray㊵ for world peace. 13 Although about eight decades has passed, the attack on Pearl Harbor, one of the darkest episodes㊶ in American history, will never be forgotten. 14

Local officials in Beijing promised to further protect the city's cultural heritage,in particular the narrow streets known as hutongs.
Hutongs are commonly found in the cities of North China,but they are at risk.Beijing is currently believed to have fewer than 1,000 hutongs,most of which are near the Imperial Palace.Only 60 years ago,the number was 3,250.In the old districts of Dongcheng and Xicheng,some people will be asked to move out from hutong houses to avoid further damage to the ancient architecture.
“On average more than 100,000 people visit the Imperial Palace during the National Day holidays.The visitors put pressure on the protection of cultural relics,” said Huang Yan,adding that hutongs should be protected from human damage.
The government focused on how the protection plans were carried out and how the management of the cultural heritage worked.Wang Shaofeng said the area has 182 cultural relics,many of which were built as far back as the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368).“The most efficient way is to decrease the local population to reduce the possibility of causing harm to the heritage,” Wang said.
“Each community has been required to report the status of its cultural heritage,especially hutongs,and any actions to damage the heritage will be punished,” Wang said.
No one knows for sure how many hutongs will be left in the coming 100 years.

As archaeologists (考古学家) examined ancient tombs in Turfan in western China, they discovered some surprisingly well-preserved and familiar relics.Though hardened from over 1,000 years, there sat little dumplings.
Exactly who invented dumplings remains a mystery.But some scholars suspect they were first spread by nomadic (游牧的) Turkic peoples living in western China and Central Asia.This is thought to be the case because “manti,” meaning “dumpling” or “steamed bun” in many Turkic languages, appears to be the root word for dumpling in several other languages.Ancient Turkic people probably filled their dumplings with meat.But it's unclear when this practice began, or whether they learned the art of dumpling-making from others.However this happened, dumplings certainly gathered steam in ancient China.
Dumplings continued to take off and diversify in China over the next thousand years.Instead of the traditional meat filling, some communities chose vegetarian (素食) dumplings.People developed new cooking methods.The relationship between Chinese dumplings and those in other areas is tricky to trace, but food historians have made their best guesses based on available clues.
Besides Turkic tribes, some scholars believe that the Mongol Empire also contributed to the spread of dumplings, perhaps introducing them to parts of Eastern Europe.These dumplings could have come by way of China or directly from some of the Turkic peoples the Mongols hired to run their empire.One theory is that this gave rise to dumplings like pelmeni in Russia, pierogi in Poland and vareniki in Ukraine.Later, after Chinese dumpling varieties were introduced to more countries, English speakers began calling them dumplings, which means “little lumps”.During the Second World War, Chinese “jiaozi” were brought to Japan.So what about the Italian dumpling-like pasta? Some historians think it might be brought by Arab conquerors.
It's unlikely that all dumpling dishes came from the same root tradition.However, we can appreciate the mysterious historical web that made dumplings so various.

5.What made Turkic peoples suspected to first spread dumplings?
A.The languages they used.
B.Their eating habits.
C.Their dumpling-making skills.
D.The newly found tombs.
答案:A
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But some scholars...in several other languages.”可知,由于突厥语的“manti”似乎是其他几种语言中饺子的词根,所以突厥民族被怀疑是最初传播饺子的人。故选A。

词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Dumplings continued to take off and diversify in China over the next thousand years.(在接下来的一千年里,饺子在中国继续流行并多样化)”可知,在突厥之后的一千年里,饺子继续受到人们的喜爱,并且出现了多种形式,由此可推知,“dumplings certainly gathered steam in ancient China”表示的是饺子无疑在古代中国很受欢迎。gather steam意为“受欢迎,流行”,与become popular的意思最接近。故选D。
