It was dinner time for the Rangers, a group of Indigenous (本地的) Australians who had spent a long day cleaning up the polluted beaches of the continent's northern coast.Soon they would be eating freshly caught fish and seafood cooked under the stars on an open fire, as their ancestors did.
The Rangers are of more than 100 indigenous groups spreading across Australia who have taken on the job of protecting the land of their forefathers.In Arnhem Land, they are the protectors of 3,300 square miles of land and sea.They comb the beaches by hand, picking up as much rubbish as possible.The task is very difficult as each day it delivers waves of new rubbish.
For the Rangers, cleaning the beaches is more than a vacation.For a people whose culture is strongly tied to the land, protecting the environment is equal to preserving their history.
However, colonization forcefully broke their connection to the land generations ago.Indigenous people were displaced and their cultural practices were outlawed.Tens of thousands of years of traditional land management ended, and as a result many parts of the country now face serious disasters from invasive plants and animal species, bush fires and land mismanagement.
In recent years, the government has restored more than 20 percent of Australia's land to Indigenous owners.Since 2007, the Indigenous Rangers Organizations have been protecting this land.
Luckily, one of the few non-Indigenous employees working with the Rangers, said the combination, new techniques and an appreciation for the culture of Indigenous workers have been critical to the program's success.
“You are working with staff who see the world different to you, so there is a much higher focus on the cultural aspects of work and life,” he said.
“Being a ranger is a source of confidence.You feel strong,” said Terence, a senior ranger.“Here we still live on the land.The culture is still alive.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了澳大利亚土著人Rangers保护环境,捡拾垃圾,承担着保护祖先土地的任务,对他们来说,保护环境就等于保护他们的历史和文化。少数非土著人也与Rangers一起工作来保护他们的文化。
1. What did Indigenous Australians live on in the past?
A.Rubbish picked up by hand.
B.Protecting the land.
C.Catching the fish and seafood.
D.Invasive plants and animals.
【解析】 C 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的Soon they would be eating freshly caught fish and seafood cooked under the stars on an open fire,as their ancestors did可知,他们像他们的祖先一样,在星空下吃着篝火煮熟的新鲜的鱼和海鲜。由此可推知澳大利亚土著居民过去过着以捕鱼和打捞海鲜为主的生活。
2. What do the Rangers think of cleaning the beaches?
A.It's a job of their ancestors'.
B.It's just a vacation.
C.It's a difficult task.
D.It's their culture.
【解析】 D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的For 8 people whose culture is strongly tied to the land, protecting the environment is equal to preserving their history.可知,对于一个文化与土地紧密相连的民族来说,保护环境就等于保护他们的历史。所以Rangers认为清理海滩就是保护他们的文化。
3. Why has the government restored the land to Indigenous owners?
A.The polluted land needs better management.
B.Their cultural practices were outlawed.
C.The people were too strong.
D.The land belongs to them.
【解析】 A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的Tens of thousands of years of traditional land management ended, and as a result many parts of the country now face serious disasters from invasive plants and animal species,bush fires and land mismanagement.可知,成千上万年的传统的土地管理模式结束了,因此,这个国家的许多地区现在面临着来自外来动植物物种的入侵、丛林火灾和土地管理不善的严重灾难。所以政府要将土地归还给原住居民是因为被污染的土地需要他们更好地管理。
4.What can we learn from the last three paragraphs?
A.Not many employees are Indigenous Australians.
B.Culture is important to the Indigenous Australians.
C.Their new techniques are successful.
D.Both Luck and Terence are rangers.
【解析】 B 推理判断题。根据文章第六段Luckily,one of the few non-lndigenous employees working with the Rangers, said the combination, new techniques and an appreciation for the culture of Indigenous workers have been critical to the program's success.和第七段“You are working with staff who see the world different to you, so there is a much higher focus on the cultural aspects of work and life,”he said.以及第八段中的The culture is still alive.可知文化对澳大利亚土著居民很重要。
B
The English have a difficult and,generally speaking,dysfunctional (怪异的) relationship with clothes.Their main problem is that they have a desperate need for rules,and are unable to get along without them.This helps to explain why they have an international reputation for dressing in general very badly,but with specific areas of excellence,such as high-class men's suits,ceremonial costumes,and innovative (革新的) street fashion.In other words,we English dress best when we are “in uniform”.
You may be surprised that I am including“innovative street fashion”in the category of the uniform.Surely the parrot-haired punks (朋克摇滚乐迷)or the Victorian vampire goths are being original,not following rules.It's true that they all look different and eccentric(古怪的)but in fact they all look eccentric exactly in the same way.They are wearing a uniform.The only truly eccentric dresser in this country is the Queen,who pays no attention to fashion and continues to wear what she likes,a kind of 1950s fashion,with no regard for anyone else's opinion.However,it is true that the styles invented by young English people are much more eccentric than any other nation's street fashion.We may not be individually eccentric,apart from the Queen,but we have a sort of collective eccentricity,and we appreciate originality in dress even if we do not individually have it.
Another “rule” of behavior I had discovered was that it is very important for the English not to take themselves too seriously,to be able to laugh at themselves.However,it is well known that most teenagers tend to take themselves a bit too seriously.
The goths,in their scary black costumes,certainly look as if they are taking themselves seriously.But when I got into conversation with them,I discovered that they had a sense of humour too.I was once chatting to a goth in the full vampire costume—with a white face,deep purple lipstick,and black parrot-hair.I saw he was also wearing a T-shirt with “Goth”.“Why are you wearing that?”I asked.“In case you don't realize I'm a goth.”he answered,pretending to be serious.We both burst out laughing.

6.Who is individually eccentric in dressing?
A.A high-class man.
