Fort Smith National Historic Site

Trail of Tears Overlook

Walk along the great Arkansas River and enjoy exhibit panels that tell the story of the Five Civilized Tribes that were forcibly remove to Indian Territory. The walking path begins from the parking lot and follows along the Arkansas River to Belle Point.

Belle Point (Site of First Fort Smith)

Established in 1817 at an area overlooking the meeting point of the Arkansas River and the Poteau River, it had been named Belle Point, French for “beautiful place,” by 18th-century French fur trappers. Visitors will enjoy a scenic view of the two rivers and are able to walk the foundation remains of the First Fort Smith.

Commissary (杂货店) (Site of Second Fort Smith)

The oldest building still standing in Fort Smith is the Commissary, the site of the Second Fort Smith. During the Federal Court period, Judge Parker’s private office was located upstairs. Today, you can visit the Commissary as it looked in the 1850s when it supplied the army with food items. You can also see the reconstruction of the Fort Smith Gallows where a surprisingly large number of outlaws met their fate at the end of a rope.

Visitor Center

The Visitor Center is located in the historic barracks (兵营) / courthouse / jail (监狱) building. The barracks was built in 1851 and was changed into a courthouse and jail in 1872. In 1888 a new jail building was built next to it. Here visitors can see Judge Parker’s restored courtroom, the “Hell on the Border” jail, as well as exhibits and videos on the operation of the Federal Court and its impact on Indian Territory.

It is an unpleasant extinction that will change the world and how people communicate: within 20 years, two thirds of all the planet’s languages will be dead.

Experts agree that nothing can stop it happening but one academic is trying her hardest to slow it down. Professor Antonella Sorace is one of a growing number who believe learning a second language has enormous untapped benefits for the human brain. This is true not only for young children but also for adults and people at risk from dementia (痴呆), where research consistently shows that learning a new language could delay the start of the disease for four to five years — a better result than with any medication to date.

It is those benefits of bilingualism (双语) that should encourage us to preserve and protect Europe’s minority languages — Gaelic, Manx, Cornish and Ulster Scots, she says.

Already her work and the project she founded three years ago in Edinburgh, Bilingualism Matters — now expanding across Europe and in the US — have convinced the Scottish government to introduce languages to primary schools. From 2023 all Scottish children will be learning a language other than English in their first year at school, with two other languages to be introduced later.

Bilingualism Matters is also working to encourage businesses to consider the benefits of their staff learning languages. “In business, people say ‘English is the language of business, why would I need to learn another language?’” said Sorace. “Maybe it would mean you could do better business.”

Just as disappearing forests take with them secrets of undiscovered medicines, disappearing languages can take the key to a longer and better quality of life. The first battle is to unpick the popular assumption that bilingualism might damage children’s brains. There were even suggestions it could encourage schizophrenia (精神分裂症).

Study after study has shown the opposite to be true, says Sorace. “These prejudices are deeply rooted, but we are perhaps halfway to persuading people that the brain can cope. Then we have to persuade people that it is actually of benefit.”

24．What will happen to the majority of the world’s languages?

A．They will become extinct in decades. B．They will be learnt by more academics.

C．They will prevent the risk of dementia. D．They will help people better communicate.

25．What’s Bilingualism Matters intended to do?

A．Find a replacement for English. B．Teach businesses marketing skills.

C．Promote minority language learning. D．Influence governments’ policy making.

26．What’s the top priority in preserving minority languages?

A．Getting rid of people’s fear for mental illnesses. B．Finding the key to promoting people’s welfare.

C．Unlocking the secrets of undiscovered medicines. D．Correcting the misconception about Bilingualism.

27．Which can be the best title for the text?

A．The benefits of Bilingualism B．The founding of Bilingualism Matters

C．A new challenge facing language teaching D．A professor fighting to save minority languages

C

After decades of argument, psychologists have apparently agreed that arranging one’s features into the shape of a smile helps brighten the mood. In other words, if you want to feel a little happier, try looking a little happier first.

The idea has a rocky history, though. To settle the matter once and for all, Nicholas Coles, a research scientist at Stanford University, organised the Many Smiles Collaboration to conduct an experiment that advocates, critics and those on the fence could all agree.

The psychologists recruited (招募) nearly 4,000 people from 19 countries and divided them into three groups. The first adopted the pen-in-mouth method to activate facial muscles for smiling. The second imitated the facial expressions of smiling actors. The third was told to move the corners of their lips towards their ears and raise their cheeks, using only the muscles in their face.

The volunteers then rated their happiness as they pulled the faces, wore neutral expressions, and looked at a blank screens or images of puppies, kittens, flowers and fireworks. According to a report in Nature Human Behaviour, the pen-in-mouth method did little for emotions — perhaps because people had to bite their teeth together. But the other two approaches boosted happiness, though the effect was small.

“Some people believe that emotional experience is very cognitive — that’s it’s driven by our evaluations of what’s going on in the world. This work, however, suggests that it’s also physiological,” said Coles. “Emotional experience appears to be built, in part, off of feedback or sensations from the nervous system. The accelerated heart can make people feel anxious and the stretch of a smile can make them feel happy,” he added.

Dr Magdalena Rychlowska, who works on facial expressions, emotions and culture at Queen’s University, Belfast, said such studies were “tremendously beneficial” for psychology. “As a researcher working on how facial movements influence our feelings, I am delighted to see that an independent study found support for the facial feedback assumption,” she said.

28．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?

A．People are divided on the idea. B．People refuse to accept the idea.

C．The idea gains popularity quickly. D．The idea has stood the test of time.

29．On what basis did the psychologists get their finding?

A．How the volunteers felt. B．How the volunteers acted.

C．How the volunteers looked. D．How the volunteers thought.

30．Why does Coles make these remarks in paragraph 5?

A．To praise his research work. B．To state his research finding.

C．To put forward a new project. D．To criticize the mistaken belief.

31．What does Rychlowska talk about concerning the research finding?

A．Its independence. B．Its practical application.

C．Its significance. D．Its appeal to the public.

D

School is important for children and parents everywhere, and there are a lot who take the education of youth very seriously. Parents want their children to succeed, and a lot of children want to do well in school. A new study, which was done by Brigham Young University, has found that students perform better in school if they go on more cultural field trips.

Field trips have always been seen as fun for students, and they look forward to their chances to get out of the classroom and go somewhere fun. But field trips can be difficult for teachers to plan, because they need to make sure that there is learning and value included. Some have argued about the worth of field trips, and whether they are worth a student missing a whole day out of school.

However, Heidi Erickson, one of the researchers in the study, stated that there is no harm in taking students out of the classroom, even for multiple days throughout the year, as long as they are learning and in an appropriate space. The study had 4th- and 5th- grade students from 15 schools take part in this study. They went on three cultural field trips during the school year, to an art museum, a live theater performance, and a classical concert. Then the researchers looked at their school year compared to students who did not take part and this is where they saw the difference.

The study found that students who went on multiple field trips a year had higher test scores, performed better in class and had a greater cultural responsibility over time when compared to students who did not go on as many field trips.

Although there has been a remarkable decrease in the number of field trips due to various reasons, this new study is showing the true value of field trips, especially when they are considered “cultural”.

32．Why is it hard for teachers to plan field trips?

A．Teachers are concerned about the price

B．Teachers don’t believe in the worth of field trips.

C．Students have to miss a whole day out of school.

D．Teachers have to ensure students’ meaningful experiences.

33．What is Heidi Erickson’s attitude to cultural field trips?

A．Skeptical. B．Favorable. C．Concerned. D．Tolerant.

34．How did the researchers draw the conclusion?

A．By asking students questions. B．By taking field trips themselves.

C．By doing surveys among teachers. D．By comparing different groups of students.

35．What is the main idea of the text?

A．Cultural field trips improve students’ grades.

B．Students perform better in an appropriate space.

C．Why cultural field trips are popular with students.

D．Why the number of students’ field trips is dropping.

第二节 （满分25分）

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The Christmas holidays were fast approaching, and we had ordered many gifts online. So, when the doorbell rang, I was sure some of the packages had arrived. I ran to the door and swung it open, but no one was there. I sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful calico kitten (杂色猫) sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. There was no way that she could have rung the doorbell by herself, was there?

We figured that someone had found the kitten somewhere and left her there, and then rang the doorbell and ran away. They accurately guessed we would welcome an additional family member and take care of her.

My husband called her our little angel, so we named her accordingly. She had a calm aura (气质) about her as she walked straight into our home and hearts, fitting in perfectly. It seemed as if she was always meant to be in this big house with us. She was an old soul and turned out to be the perfect companion. Always by my side, she was more like a puppy than a kitten. Wise beyond her years, she enjoyed wandering through the tunnels and mysterious rooms as much as I did, but with much less fear. Angelica the calico was courageous.

So, I took a page from her book and decided to be brave, too. There was an underground stone cellar (地窖) I had been eager to explore. The only way in was down a rickety (摇晃的) ladder to its murky depths. I guessed it was an old root cellar, probably twelve feet deep.

I had promised my husband that I wouldn’t explore dangerous areas unless he or someone else was around. Though I knew I was stretching it, I figured that Angelica would count as my companion. I was ready to explore this cellar, and so was she.

I equipped myself with a good flashlight and warm clothes, and carefully started down the rickety ladder while Angelica was looking down at me from above. Faint crack and sudden crash were what I could remember.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。

Paragraph 1

I woke up with pieces of the rotting, broken ladder lying around me on the stone cellar floor.

Paragraph 2

It seemed my companion, Angelica, was my last hope.
