Tour operators and sellers call out to visitors in English in an attempt to turn heads, before trying French, German, or Mandarin. They turn away and whisper in Spanish if they are unsuccessful. Long before these tourists arrived, another language had been spoken in the region-Ckunsa. Once declared extinct in the 1950s, Ckunsa is still alive in the depths of the desert. “I don’t accept that my native language is extinct,” said 55-year-old Tomás Vilea. “We are going to revitalize our language. It’s not just about communication. It’s our identity.” The Ckunsa language faced serious suppression (压制) in the 1800s when public schools were established and Spanish was made the dominant language. The Chilean government is now taking steps to help preserve native languages. A curriculum focusing on “the language and culture of ancestral peoples” has been introduced, which is taught to students in areas with significant native populations. In recent years, local initiatives in the Atacama Desert have also aimed to restore Ckunsa. In 2022, 1,300 Ckunsa dictionaries were distributed to primary school students in San Pedro de Atacama. In the desert oasis of Calama, children are now learning the language at their school. Tomás Vilea is the Ckunsa teacher at the school, helping to pass down the language to a new generation. Although countless words have faded like stars, which is a sorrowful loss of cultural heritage, the community passionately recovers old terms from ancient songs and texts. Vilea and others feel it is vital to preserve Ckunsa for future generations. “We’re trying to leave something behind for our children,” says teacher Ilia Reyes Aymani. She believes that with persistence, Ckunsa can grow as a language, and the community’s heritage will live on. Through the efforts of people like Vilea and Reyes Aymani, Ckunsa is making a slow but steady comeback. “It’s wonderful to see how people are taking it up,” Reyes Aymani says. “The more we spread the words, the more the language grows.” 1．Why do sellers in San Pedro de Atacama speak different languages to visitors? A．To seek business opportunities. B．To show friendliness to tourists. C．To improve their language skills. D．To promote the fame of the town. 2．What effort has been made to preserve Ckunsa? A．Replacing Spanish with Ckunsa in schools. B．Integrating Ckunsa learning into education. C．Establishing public schools to teach Ckunsa. D．Listing Ckunsa as the nation’s cultural heritage. 3．What’s the purpose of recovering old terms from ancient songs and texts? A．To attract foreign visitors. B．To enlarge Spanish vocabulary. C．To restore the lost cultural heritage. D．To simplify language learning for kids. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Losing Heritage is Losing Our Identity. B．A Desert’s Lost Tongue finds Its Voice. C．Saving Calama: The Return of a Race. D．Exploring Ckunsa: A Window into Atacama. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了曾被宣布已灭绝的本土语言Ckunsa，如今通过智利政府将其融入学校课程、当地分发词典及教师教学等举措，正缓慢但稳步地恢复，当地社区也致力于为后代保护这一承载身份认同的文化遗产。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Tour operators and sellers call out to visitors in English in an attempt to turn heads, before trying French, German, or Mandarin. They turn away and whisper in Spanish if they are unsuccessful.(旅行社经营者和商贩们会先用英语招揽游客，想要吸引他们的注意，若是没效果，再试着用法语、德语或普通话（沟通）。如果这些语言都不管用，他们便会转过身去，用西班牙语小声交谈。)”可知，商贩用不同的语言招呼游客是为了吸引游客注意，寻求商业机会，促成交易。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The Chilean government is now taking steps to help preserve native languages. A curriculum focusing on “the language and culture of ancestral peoples” has been introduced, which is taught to students in areas with significant native populations.(智利政府正在采取措施保护本土语言。一门以“祖先民族的语言和文化”为核心的课程已正式推行，向土著人口众多地区的学生讲授。)”以及第四段中“In recent years, local initiatives in the Atacama Desert have also aimed to restore Ckunsa. In 2022, 1,300 Ckunsa dictionaries were distributed to primary school students in San Pedro de Atacama. In the desert oasis of Calama, children are now learning the language at their school.(近年来，阿塔卡马沙漠地区的当地项目也致力于复兴Ckunsa语。2022年，1300本Ckunsa语词典被分发给了圣佩德罗德阿塔卡马的小学生。在沙漠绿洲卡拉马，孩子们现在正在学校学习这种语言。)”可知，为了保护、复兴Ckunsa语，智利政府推出“祖先民族的语言与文化”课程并在原住民聚居区教学，阿塔卡马沙漠地区在当地小学分发词典并在学校开设Ckunsa语课程；由此可知，为了保护Ckunsa语所做出的努力是将Ckunsa语学习融入教育。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“Although countless words have faded like stars, which is a sorrowful loss of cultural heritage, the community passionately recovers old terms from ancient songs and texts.(尽管无数Ckunsa语词汇已如星辰般消逝，这无疑是文化遗产的沉痛损失，但当地社区满怀热忱地从古老的歌谣与文本中复原那些遗失的词汇。)”可知，从古老歌曲和文本中恢复旧词是为了恢复遗失的文化遗产。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第二段“Long before these tourists arrived, another language had been spoken in the region-Ckunsa. Once declared extinct in the 1950s, Ckunsa is still alive in the depths of the desert. (早在这些游客到来之前，该地区就已经使用另一种语言——Ckunsa语了。这种语言在20世纪50年代曾被宣布已灭绝，但如今它依然存在于沙漠的深处。)”以及最后一段“Through the efforts of people like Vilea and Reyes Aymani, Ckunsa is making a slow but steady comeback.(通过Vilea和Reyes Aymani等人的努力，Ckunsa语正在缓慢而稳定地回归。)”可知，文章主要讲述了曾被宣布已灭绝的本土语言Ckunsa语，在智利政府和当地社区努力下正在逐步复兴，B选项“A Desert’s Lost Tongue finds Its Voice(沙漠失语重获新声/沙漠中失落的语言重获生机)”能够概括文章主旨，为最佳标题。故选B。 A popular short video series titled Escape from the British Museum has brought the lost Chinese relics (文物) back to people’s eyes. The three-part series tells the story of a jade teapot (玉壶) that comes alive and starts her journey from the British Museum back to China.

A mini vacation is a one to three days’ getaway. Unlike the standard vacation, it doesn’t require weeks of planning and needn’t cost much. 2 You will have the chance to get your mind off work and take a break from your regular routine. Quite often, a mini vacation is planned around an official holiday or school break, in order to avoid taking too many personal days off from work or having to pull children out of classes. A typical long weekend could start after work or school on Friday and end the night before a regular schedule comes again. Time is really limited. 3 An overnight trip to an amusement park nearly could be considered a mini vacation. It has advantages. People can enjoy an inexpensive vacation from the stresses of work or school. 4 Many people are surprisingly unaware of interesting attractions located within a few hours of their hometowns, but local hotels and visitor centers often have lots of informational booklets on local attractions. 5 It includes minimal (最少的) packing and little gas. Other costs may include entry fees of the attractions, hotel reservations, meals and souvenirs. Some vacationers on limited budgets may be able to stay overnight with relatives or friends. They can also save money by purchasing inexpensive meals at local stores or fast food restaurants. A．Stop at any scenic spot that looks interesting. B．A mini vacation generally calls for less money. C．But it will still provide the same basic content of any trip. D．A mini vacation is also sometimes annoying to prepare for. E．So people usually look for destinations within a few hours of their homes. F．Besides, they are still able to drive back home for emergencies if necessary. G．Others may have the time, but not have the money to travel for a week or longer. 【答案】1．G 2．C 3．E 4．F 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是“迷你假期（mini vacation）”这一概念及其相关情况。 1．空前“Because of work, school or family responsibilities, many people have no time to take an extended vacation.(由于工作、学习或家庭责任，许多人没有时间去度长假。)”说明很多人没有时间去度长假，空后“Therefore, there is one popular choice for them—a mini vacation.(因此，他们有一个流行的选择——迷你假期。)”说明的是一个结果，空格处应该说导致这个结果的另一个原因，空前说许多人没时间，那空格处就应该说有的人有时间却不能去，G选项“Others may have the time, but not have the money to travel for a week or longer.(其他人可能有时间，但没有钱去旅行一周或更长时间。)”说明的是另一个人们不能度长假的原因，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选G。 2．空前“Unlike the standard vacation, it doesn’t require weeks of planning and needn’t cost much.(与标准假期不同，它不需要数周的计划，也不需要花费太多。)”说明了这种假期不需要太长时间，也不需要太多钱，空后“You will have the chance to get your mind off work and take a break from your regular routine.(你将有机会把你的思想从工作中解放出来，从你的日常生活中休息一下。)”说明了这种迷你假期会给你带来什么好处，C选项“But it will still provide the same basic content of any trip.(但它仍将提供与任何旅行相同的基本内容。)”和前面内容相反，说明了迷你假期也能提供和正常旅行相同的东西，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选C。 3．空前说“Time is really limited.(时间真的很有限。)”说明时间有限，空格处应该说在这种情况下人们会怎么做，E选项“So people usually look for destinations within a few hours of their homes.(所以人们通常会在离家几小时内寻找目的地。)”正是一种在时间有限的情况下的做法，因此符合语境，故选E。 4．空前“It has advantages. People can enjoy an inexpensive vacation from the stresses of work or school.(它有优点。人们可以从工作或学习的压力中享受一个便宜的假期。)”说明的是晚上去游乐园这种度假方式的好处，F选项“Besides, they are still able to drive back home for emergencies if necessary.(此外，如果有必要，他们仍然可以开车回家。)”说明的是晚上去游乐园度假后还可以开车回家，是另一个这种迷你假期的好处，承接上文，符合语境，故选F。 5．空后“It includes minimal (最少的) packing and little gas.

They have also influenced the development of art and culture in many countries along the Silk Road. However, these precious cultural relics are facing threats.

Tour operators and sellers call out to visitors in English in an attempt to turn heads, before trying French, German, or Mandarin. They turn away and whisper in Spanish if they are unsuccessful. Long before these tourists arrived, another language had been spoken in the region-Ckunsa. Once declared extinct in the 1950s, Ckunsa is still alive in the depths of the desert. “I don’t accept that my native language is extinct,” said 55-year-old Tomás Vilea. “We are going to revitalize our language. It’s not just about communication. It’s our identity.” The Ckunsa language faced serious suppression (压制) in the 1800s when public schools were established and Spanish was made the dominant language. The Chilean government is now taking steps to help preserve native languages. A curriculum focusing on “the language and culture of ancestral peoples” has been introduced, which is taught to students in areas with significant native populations. In recent years, local initiatives in the Atacama Desert have also aimed to restore Ckunsa. In 2022, 1,300 Ckunsa dictionaries were distributed to primary school students in San Pedro de Atacama. In the desert oasis of Calama, children are now learning the language at their school. Tomás Vilea is the Ckunsa teacher at the school, helping to pass down the language to a new generation. Although countless words have faded like stars, which is a sorrowful loss of cultural heritage, the community passionately recovers old terms from ancient songs and texts. Vilea and others feel it is vital to preserve Ckunsa for future generations. “We’re trying to leave something behind for our children,” says teacher Ilia Reyes Aymani. She believes that with persistence, Ckunsa can grow as a language, and the community’s heritage will live on. Through the efforts of people like Vilea and Reyes Aymani, Ckunsa is making a slow but steady comeback. “It’s wonderful to see how people are taking it up,” Reyes Aymani says. “The more we spread the words, the more the language grows.” 1．Why do sellers in San Pedro de Atacama speak different languages to visitors?

A．Replacing Spanish with Ckunsa in schools. B．Integrating Ckunsa learning into education. C．Establishing public schools to teach Ckunsa. D．Listing Ckunsa as the nation’s cultural heritage. 3．What’s the purpose of recovering old terms from ancient songs and texts? A．To attract foreign visitors. B．To enlarge Spanish vocabulary.

A popular short video series titled Escape from the British Museum has brought the lost Chinese relics (文物) back to people’s eyes. The three-part series tells the story of a jade teapot (玉壶) that comes alive and starts her journey from the British Museum back to China. In the story, the jade teapot turns into a young woman and escapes from the museum. She meets a Chinese reporter named Zhang Yong’an in the United Kingdom and asks him to take her back to China. She not only travels across the country but also carries “letters” written by other relics in the museum to their families in China. The series was created by two young Chinese vloggers using the net names “Jianbing Guozi” and “Xiatian Meimei”. “Jianbing Guozi”, whose real name is Zhang Jiajun, graduated from Sichuan University of Media and Communications. The idea for the series came from a Douyin user’s suggestion to create a cartoon where relics come to life and return home for Chinese New Year. Zhang turned this idea into a video and spent three months researching the British Museum and writing the storyline. The jade teapot in the video is not a traditional relic but created by Chinese contemporary (当代的) jade artist Yu Ting. Yu expressed satisfaction because his work has received much attention and love from young people. The creator of the series, Zhang Jiajun, expressed thanks for the love the series has received and hopes that more attention would be paid to the cultural relics. 1．Who first comes up with the idea of this video series?

C．He spent three months doing research and writing the storyline. 3．Why does the jade teapot want to go back to China? A．Because she wants to be free. B．Because she wants to travel around the world and have fun. C．Because she wants to return home and send her friends’ letters to their families. 4．What does Escape from the British Museum want people to learn? A．The cultural importance of the British Museum. B．The importance of protecting Chinese cultural relics. C．The reason why a teapot turns into a young woman. 二、七选五 Because of work, school or family responsibilities, many people have no time to take an extended vacation. 1 Therefore, there is one popular choice for them—a mini vacation. A mini vacation is a one to three days’ getaway. Unlike the standard vacation, it doesn’t require weeks of planning and needn’t cost much. 2 You will have the chance to get your mind off work and take a break from your regular routine. Quite often, a mini vacation is planned around an official holiday or school break, in order to avoid taking too many personal days off from work or having to pull children out of classes. A typical long weekend could start after work or school on Friday and end the night before a regular schedule comes again. Time is really limited. 3 An overnight trip to an amusement park nearly could be considered a mini vacation. It has advantages. People can enjoy an inexpensive vacation from the stresses of work or school. 4 Many people are surprisingly unaware of interesting attractions located within a few hours of their hometowns, but local hotels and visitor centers often have lots of informational booklets on local attractions. 5 It includes minimal (最少的) packing and little gas. Other costs may include entry fees of the attractions, hotel reservations, meals and souvenirs. Some vacationers on limited budgets may be able to stay overnight with relatives or friends. They can also save money by purchasing inexpensive meals at local stores or fast food restaurants. A．Stop at any scenic spot that looks interesting. B．A mini vacation generally calls for less money. C．But it will still provide the same basic content of any trip. D．A mini vacation is also sometimes annoying to prepare for. E．So people usually look for destinations within a few hours of their homes. F．Besides, they are still able to drive back home for emergencies if necessary. G．Others may have the time, but not have the money to travel for a week or longer. 三、书面表达 假如你是李津，你校的英语校报正在举行“Recommending Cultural Highlights”的征文活动，请写一篇征文，介绍一个中国具有文化特色的景点（如敦煌，三星堆等）。 内容要点： 1．简要介绍该景点的地理位置和重要地位； 2．介绍它的文化价值和影响； 3．呼吁大家保护相关文化遗产。 注意：​ 1．题目自拟。​ 2．词数不少于100。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 一、写作素材积累 词汇积累 historical site 历史遗址 majestic 雄伟的；壮丽的 cultural relic 文物 magnificent 宏伟的；华丽的 ancient monument 古迹 picturesque 风景如画的 historic building 历史建筑 graceful 优美的；优雅的 archaeological site 考古遗址 unique 独特的 world heritage site 世界遗产地 ancient 古老的 history 历史 intricate 复杂精细的 culture 文化 splendid 辉煌的；灿烂的 civilization 文明 tradition 传统 heritage 遗产 mythology 神话 legend 传说 folklore 民俗 palace 宫殿 castle 城堡 句型积累 句型 解析 动名词(短语)作主语 含义：表示某个动作或行为作为句子的主语，强调动作的抽象性或习惯性。 用法：动名词（V-ing 形式）或动名词短语置于句首，充当主语，谓语动词用单数形式。 have＋宾语＋宾语补足语 含义：表示主语使宾语处于某种状态或发生某种动作，“宾语补足语” 补充说明宾语的情况。 用法：结构为 “have + 宾语（名词 / 代词）+ 宾语补足语（形容词 / 副词 / 介词短语 / 分词等）”，强调主语对宾语的影响或动作的结果。 with复合结构 含义：表示伴随、方式、原因、条件等状态，由 “with + 宾语 + 宾语补足语” 构成，补充说明主句的背景或伴随情况。 用法：宾语通常为名词或代词，宾语补足语可由形容词、副词、介词短语、分词、不定式等充当，在句中作状语。 … had a great influence on … 含义：…… 对…… 产生了重大影响，强调某事物或某人对另一事物 / 人的深刻作用。 用法：“had” 可根据时态换为 “has/have”，“influence” 前可加形容词（如 great, profound 等）修饰，后接介词 “on” 引出受影响的对象。 … have a long history of … 含义：…… 有着悠久的…… 历史，强调某事物或行为存在的时间久远。 用法：“have” 随主语单复数变化（has/have），“a long history of” 后接名词或动名词，说明历史涉及的领域或内容。 Sth is a true feast for the eyes, with …. 含义：某物真是一场视觉盛宴，伴有……，强调事物的视觉美感及伴随的细节特征。 用法：前半句 “is a true feast for the eyes” 突出视觉上的享受，后半句用 “with” 复合结构补充描述具体的视觉元素。 With all this beauty, it is not surprising that … 含义：有了这一切美景 / 美好事物，…… 就不足为奇了，强调因前文描述的美好事物导致某种结果的合理性。 用法：“With all this beauty” 总结前文的美好景象或条件，“it is not surprising that” 引出顺理成章的结果，“it” 为形式主语，真正主语是 that 引导的从句。 Sth is more than likely to do 含义：某物极有可能……，强调事情发生的概率很高。 用法：“more than likely” 表示 “极有可能”，程度强于 “likely”，后接不定式 “to do” 说明具体的动作或结果。 二、写作素材检测 1. 如果我们坚持练习，极有可能通过考试。（Sth is more than likely to do） 2. 有了团队的这番努力，他们赢得比赛就不足为奇了。（With all this beauty, it is not surprising that …） 3. 秋日的山林真是一场视觉盛宴，树叶红黄绿相间。（Sth is a true feast for the eyes, with ….） 4. 他的鼓励话语对我坚持尝试的决定影响很大。（… had a great influence on …） 5. 这个消息让她脸上露出了灿烂的笑容。（have＋宾语＋宾语补足语） 1 / 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
