21、Sitting at the top of a mountain on La Gomera Islad, Antonio issued an invitation to three visiting hikers in the distance—“Come over here”. We’re going to treat you to lunch“- without speaking word: He whistled (吹口哨) it. Antonio, 71, said in his youth, when natives rather than tourists walked the rocky footpaths of his island, his news would have been greeted right away by a responding whistle, loud and clear. But his message was lost on these hikers, and they continued their journey.

Antonio is a proud guardian of La Gomera’s whistling language, which he called the poetry of my island.” He added. Like poetry, whistling does not need to be useful in order to be special and beautiful.“The language, officially known as Silbo Gomero, replaces written letters with whistled sounds that vary by pitch (高音) and length. Unfortunately, there are fewer whistles than Spanish letters, so a sound can have multiple meanings, causing misunderstandings.

With its distinct geography, it’s easy to see why whistling came into existence on La Gomera. On most of the island, deep valleys run from high peaks down to the ocean, and plenty of time and effort are required to travel even a short distance overland. Whistling developed as a good alternative way to deliver a message, with its sound carrying farther than shouting- -as much as two miles across some valleys with favorable wind conditions.

In 2009, the island’s language was added by UNESCO to its list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. But with whistling no longer essential for communication, Silbo Gomero’s survival mostly relies on a 1999 law that has made teaching it a necessary part of La Gomera s school courses. Erin Gerhards, a local girl keen to improve her whistling, said, “Whistling is a way to honor the people that lived here in the past and to remember we didn’t start with technology but simple beginnings.”

【1】How did the hikers react to Antonio’s invitation?

A．They ignored it.

B．They waved their hands,

C．They whistled back.

D．They stopped suddenly.

【2】Why is La Gomera’s whistling language likely to be misinterpreted?

A．Because it is a form of poetry.

B．Because the same sound carries different meanings.

C．Because it isn’t useful in life.

D．Because its sounds include various pitches and lengths.

【3】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The tourist attractions of La Gomera.

B．The geographic features of La Gomera.

C．The reason for whistling’s use on La Gomera.

D．The comparison between whistling and shouting.

【4】What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

A．Erin figures out how islanders lived before.

B．Silbo Gomero is taught in La Gomera’s schools.

C．Technology outweighs traditions on La Gomera.

D．Silbo Gomero is important in daily conversations.

22、Cities are taking steps to support wildlife populations and educate citizens about the importance of the environment. Here are four of the most wildlife-friendly cities in the United States.

Austin, Texas

Austin, the capital of Texas, earns the rank as the top city for wildlife in large part due to its work to help improve declining monarch butterfly populations. Austin sits within the main migration pattern of the monarch, which means that monarch butterflies pass through it twice annually. Austin also leads all US cities with 2,616 certified (经认证的)wildlife habitats.

Atlanta, Georgia

Atlanta secures the second-place ranking thanks to its Climate Action Plan, which aims to expand on the 3,000 acres of parks that the city already manages. Already classified by the US Forest Service as one of the most forested urban centers in the country, Atlanta also calls fbr planting more trees and creating more green spaces based on its climate plan. Six neighborhoods in Atlanta have been designated (指定)as Community Wildlife Habitats. Put together, these areas of vegetation can help reduce the urban heat island effect in the city.

Seattle, Washington

Seattle is home to 489 parks that span 6,441 acres, including 2,500 acres of forested public land. The city’s largest park, Discovery Park, covers 534 acres and serves as an important protected area fbr birds and marine animals. Due to the amount of forested land in Seattle, the researchers use the city to study how urban environments can be designed to support wildlife. The Seattle Urban Project enlists the community to report wildlife sightings, which helps to demonstrate how and where flesh-eating mammals can coexist with humans.

Chula Vista, California

Chula Vista, a city in southern California, ranks high on the list due to its efforts to combat water use issues. The city’s NatureScape Program encourages citizens to replace lawns with gardens of native plants that attract pollinators (传粉昆虫)and conserve water. The city has also formed the CLEAN group, a partnership between the government, businesses and community groups designed to address environmental issues.

【1】What is special about the city Austin, Texas?

A．It manages the largest green spaces.

B．It owns the largest number of parks.

C．It can report the most wildlife sightings.

D．It has got the most certified wildlife habitats in the US.

【2】What do the researchers in Seattle try to find out?

A．How to build more parks in the city.

B．How to make the city wildlife-friendly.

C．How to improve biodiversity in the city.

D．How to make the city more livable fbr humans.

【3】Which of the following contributes to helping more native plants to reproduce?

A．The CLEAN group.

B．The Climate Action Plan.

C．The Seattle Urban Project.

D．The Nature Scape Program.

23、In his lifetime La Tour must have been one of the most admired painters, who was on close terms with courts in Lorraine and Paris and became the King’s Painter to Louis XIII in 1639. However, not many of his works survived. These can be divided into his early “day pieces”, and the later “night pieces”. His sometimes direct realism and unflattering (不恭维的) presentation of the miserable subjects does not at all mean a sympathetic attitude to the socially disadvantaged of the day, on the contrary, issues of this kind were intended to amuse high society, who enjoyed decorating the walls of their homes with such melodramatic scenes. La Tour, affected by Caravaggio, painted various scenes of gambling. In Cheater with the Ace of Diamonds, an inexperienced, wealthy and well-dressed young man is being cheated at cards in the dishonest company of a courtesan (交际花) with her lover and a servant girl. Wine and the promise of love adventure have made the young dandy (好打扮的男人) so light-headed that he does not notice the apparent trick of an ace being drawn from his opponent’s belt.

Most of the paintings by La Tour we have at our disposal the art historians date after 1640. In these works La Tour is captivated with lightning effects which create sharp outlines. This fascination with light brought him great success in his day. However, he was completely forgotten after his death, only to be rediscovered in our own day. La Tour is an example of how artists can pass in and out of favor of the public.

【1】Why did La Tour present the socially disadvantaged in his works?

A．To show sympathy for them

B．To amuse people of high society

A．It shows a gambling scene

B．It has lightning effects

C．It bears no influence of other painters

D．It is about love between a young man and a courtesan

【3】What does the underlined word captivated probably mean?

A．concerned

B．satisfied

C．connected

D．fascinated

【4】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．La Tour wasn’t admired in his day

B．La Tour became The King’s Painter in 1639

C．La Tour didn’t always win favor of the public

D．Most of La Tour’s works were created after 1640

24、   April Fools' Day is supposed to be a day to play jokes on others in hopes of getting a good laugh and making one feel like a fool.However，the April Fools' Day of 2019 was quite different for my mom and me.
