Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

Tom Belt,a native of Oklahoma,didn’t know the English language until he began school.In his home,conversations took place in Cherokee.Belt grew up riding horses,and after college travelled around the country doing the rodeo(牛仔竞技比赛).Finally,he wound up in North Carolina and married a woman he met at school 20 years earlier.

Yet his wife—also Cherokee—did not speak the language.He soon realized that he was a minority(少数)among his own people.At that time,just 400 or so Cherokee speakers were left in the Eastern Band,the tribe(部落)located in the Cherokee’s historic homeland.Children were no longer learning the language either.“I began to realize the seriousness of the situation,” Belt says.

Belt and other concerned Cherokee speakers in the Eastern Band decided to do something about it.Belt volunteered to teach Cherokee lessons at a local school,for example,and finally the tribe decided to create a language immersion school for children,where main classes—including science and math—are taught in Cherokee.Cherokee language is now also offered at the local university,where Belt teaches.

“Many Cherokee speakers are using technology to do really interesting things that were not imaginable a generation back,” says Mark Turin,a language expert at Yale University.For example,a Cherokee app allows speakers to text in the language’s 85 letters.Some Cherokee sites bring speakers together and provide multimedia teaching tools.

Thanks to the Eastern Band’s efforts,today around 60 of their children can speak Cherokee.Belt,along with many other Cherokee speakers,is not ready to let his language disappear into history—even if the journey towards revitalisation(振兴) is an uphill one.As an elder told Belt years ago:“It’s all well and good that you all want to do this,but remember,it wasn’t taken away overnight,and you’re not going to revitalize it overnight.”

UN Chinese Language Day is celebrated annually on April 20.The event was set up by the UN Department of Public Information in order to get equal use of all six of its official working languages throughout the organization.

The first Chinese Language Day was celebrated in 2010 on the 12th of November.But since 2011,the date has been the 20th of April.It’s because Chinese Guyu,which is the 6th of 24 solar terms in the traditional Chinese calendar,usually just begins around the date,April 20.Guyu is important to Chinese people.Each year they will celebrate Guyu in memory of the person:Cangjie,who was believed to create Chinese characters.There’s a story that when Cangjie created Chinese characters,it rained millet(粟).Guyu in some way means “rain of millet”.

The Chinese Language Day for 2021 was especially to help people learn about Chinese characters based on symbols.In the building of the UN in New York,three events,which were organized by an organization connected to the UN,focused on three types of Chinese characters based on symbols.The three events were,a guided tour of the Liangzhu Museum,a language class on Dongba words,and a lecture on the history of Chinese characters.The three events were held from April 19 to 21,2021.

Chinese was allowed to be an official language of the United Nations in 1946.However,in the early years,Chinese was not commonly used in the work of the United Nations.The situation improved after the restoration(恢复) of the lawful rights of the People’s Republic of China in the United Nations in 1971.And in 1973,the General Assembly(联合国大会) included Chinese as a working language.Then more and more UN offices and work members work with the Chinese language.

5.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?

Ⅱ.七选五

(2023江西宜春高三月考)

“Don’t take many English courses;they won’t help you get a decent job.”“Sign up for management classes,so you’ll be ready to join the family business when you graduate.” Many of us have heard suggestions like these put forward by parents or others close to us.　1　 

The answer is yes.Such comments often seem quite reasonable.However,with regard to finding a correct path of career,it relates to decisions you should make.　2　 

One of the worst reasons to follow a particular path in life is that other people want you to.Decisions that affect your life should be your decisions—decisions you make after you’ve considered various alternatives and chosen the path that suits you best.

3　 For instance,your parents do have their own unique experiences that may make their advice helpful,and having participated in a great deal of your personal history,they may have a clear view of your strengths and weaknesses.　4　 They may still see you as a child,in need of care and protection.Or they may see only your strengths.Or,in some unfortunate cases,they may focus only on your flaws and shortcomings. 

For the whole life,we are always in the wandering and hesitation.　5　 Unless you’ve already determined to be their faithful audience,you shouldn’t worry too much about letting others control your actions.Ultimately,though,you can assure that your own judgments will lead your way. 

A.Should we follow the path that they choose for us?

B.You are the one who must live with their consequences.

C.Should suggestions like these be taken with caution?

D.A person’s journey through life might be seen as a series of decisions.

E.Making your own decisions does not mean that you should ignore the suggestions of others.

F.People will always be giving you advice on your path.

G.Still,their views are not necessarily accurate.
