五、阅读理解
Shaggy Bactrian camels(骆驼)in the Gobi usually give birth to a baby camel every second year. But because of the terrible weather conditions it is not uncommon for a mother or baby to die during or after delivery. The result is often lonely babies and sad mothers who need one another.
After centuries in the desert, the herders(牧民)have developed a unique musical ritual(仪式)when they want a mother camel to accept a newborn baby camel. When the practice starts, a musician plays his instrument, usually a Mongolian flute. The mother and baby are tied together, and another musician begins to sing:“Khuus, khuus, khuus.”
At first, the mother either pays no attention to the baby or treats it badly. The“coaxer(劝诱者)”, at this point, changes the music based on the behavior. The singer begins to copy the sound of the camel's walking, running, and voices. After many hours of this, it is said, the mother and baby are in tears, and are joined for life.
However, each year there are fewer and fewer young herders willing to learn and pass on this tradition. In addition, more and more Mongolian families are sending daughters away to study and live in cities, and those who leave almost never return. The young men who remain in the desert struggle then to find wives and raise families that can help raise camels and keep the traditions alive. On top of that, many
have discovered that motorbikes are cheaper than camels. All of this are killing the traditional way of life.
A few Mongolians have turned to the United Nations to help save this practice. In 2015, they added it to their "List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding",but it's hard to know what influence this can have beyond recognizing the existence (存在)of the ritual.
1. What is the purpose of the Mongolian ritual?
A. To help baby camels get along with herders.
B. To make mother camels give birth more often.
C. To ease the pain of mother camels during delivery.
D. To form close relationships between lonely mother and baby camels.
2. What can be inferred about the coaxing ritual?
A. It requires great skills.
B. It lasts for a few days.
C. The music is slow and sad.
D. The coaxers are professional musicians.
3. Why is the ritual in danger?
A. Because of the uselessness of camels.
B. Because of the difficulty of the practice.
C.Because of the changes in herders' lifestyle.
D. Because of the terrible weather in the desert.
4. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Camel Coaxing Is on the UNESCO List
B. Mongolia's Important Cultural Heritage
C. How Mongolian Musicians Coax Camels
D.The Ritual of Camel Coaxing May Be Lost Forever

五、阅读理解
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。蒙古人的camel coaxing仪式随着社会的发展日渐衰落,亦可能消失。
1.答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The result is often lonely babies and sad mothers who need one another”和第二段中的“when they want a mother camel to accept a newborn baby camel”可知,因为气候恶劣,母骆驼生产小骆驼时,任何一方都可能死去,所以需要帮助孤独的母骆驼和小骆驼建立新的亲子关系。故该仪式的目的是拉近落单的母骆驼和小骆驼的关系,让母骆驼哺育小骆驼。
2.答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第三、三段的描述可知,在该仪式中,劝诱者不仅需要了解骆驼的习性,还需要演奏音乐、吟唱歌曲,所以这是一项对技能要求很高的活动。
3.答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第四段可知,随着社会的发展,年轻的牧民越来越少,且越来越多的牧民把女儿送去城里读书生活,使得当地小伙娶妻困难。特别是随着科技的发展,牧民更喜欢骑比骆驼便宜的摩托车,这些生活方式上的改变导致这一仪式没有被很好地传承,几近消失。
4.答案D
解析标题归纳题。作者介绍了camel coaxing这一仪式的背景和做法后,说明了该仪式日渐衰落的原因,并在文末用“it's, hard to know what influence this can have beyond recognizing the existence of the ritual”"表达了对该仪式未来的担忧。故D项作标题概括了文章的主旨。
