6、 historical buildings and monuments. And of course, many of these are on the World Heritage List (WHL). But the WHL contains a lot of sites that are not so obvious. Lets look at a few of them.Robben Island in South AfricaThis island was used through the centuries as a prison, a hospital and a milita

14、supplies. During the flood, many heroes arose, one of whom was Santosh, a young man who owned a take-out restaurant in Chennai.When the first flood hit in November, he got a call from a company called Naga Rava. The company asked him to prepare 5,000 packets of food and give them to the flood victim
15、s. He, with his partners, took the order, cooked for 14 hours and delivered them. But that night, as they sat together discussing the event of the day, they actually felt ashamed(羞愧). “Here was a man not even from Chennai and he was going out of his way to help the affected people. We, while living
16、here, had not really done anything ourselves for our own people,” said Santosh later.He then began the groundwork for a collection to help cook more dishes. Little did he know that the November flood was just the beginning, and the real show was about to begin. The December flood affected them all.
17、His own house got flooded and his family was trapped on the second floor. They lost phone connection and electricity. In spite of this, Santosh went back out into the flood, creating a kitchen and preparing food all by himself for the victims.He did not sleep for four days, taking a one-hour break e
18、very day as he kept on cooking. As word got out about this mans effort, others stepped out to join him. From children to the elderly, strangers came to help him in cooking, packing and transporting food. Up to 300 volunteers worked together to make it all happen. By the time the fourth day finally c

Instead, they store food for the cold season and spend the winter in their nests. But the 13-lined ground squirrel, one species of
22、squirrel in the U.S. Midwest, is not the case. For up to 8 months, the tiny mammals wont eat or drink anything at all and the heart rate, metabolism(新陈代谢), and body temperature dramatically drop during their long rest, which is similar to bears and other hibernating animals.To find out how the hiber
23、nating squirrels hold back their thirst, a powerful force that could potentially wake them up, and researchers measured the blood fluid of dozens of squirrels. Generally, a high blood concentration(血液浓度) makes animals, including humans, feel thirty. The sleeping squirrels blood concentration was low
24、, preventing them from waking up for a drink. Even when researchers woke up the torpid squirrels, they wouldnt drink a drop until the team artificially increased the concentration of their blood serum(血清).Next, the researchers wanted to know how the squirrels blood concentration dropped so low. Perh
25、aps the squirrels drank a lot of water before hibernation to dilute(稀释) their blood, the researchers thought. But when they filmed squirrels preparing for their winter snooze, they found the animals actually drank less water than they normally did.Instead, chemical tests revealed the squirrels adjus
26、t their blood concentration by getting rid of electrolytes(电解质)like sodium and other chemicals like glucose and urea and storing them elsewhere in the body (possibly in the bladder), the researchers reported last month in Current Biology. The finding could also explain how other hibernating animals
27、stay containing water.This new knowledge might one day help humans with conditions such as diabetes (糖尿病), or astronauts (宇航员) who have launched on long space flights. Unfortunately, even if people can figure out how to drop their blood concentration, its unlikely theyll ever be as cute as sleeping
28、squirrels.18What do we know about the 13-lined ground squirrels?AThey dont hibernate like many other squirrels.BThey are endangered species in the U. S. Midwest.CThey can live for months without water during hibernation.DTheir heart rate and body temperature are extremely abnormal.19The hibernating

But at least one has recently been born, created by children living in a remote village in northern Aus
31、tralia, according to Carmel Oshannessy, a linguist at the University of Michigan.The language, called Light Warlpiri, is spoken only by people under 35 in Lajamanu, a village of about 700 people in northern Australia. In all, about 350 people speak the language as their native tongue.Since many of t
32、he first speakers of this language are still alive, Dr. Oshannessy has been able to document a “new” language in the very early period of its existence.Everyone in Lajamanu speaks “strong” Warlpiri, an aboriginal(澳大利亚土著的）language unrelated to English and shared with about 4,000 people in several Aus
33、tralian villages. Many also speak Kriol, an English-based creole(混合语) that is widely spoken in northern Australia among aboriginal people of many native languages.Many words in Light Warlpiri originate from English or Kriol. But light Warlpiri is not simply a combination of words from different lang
34、uages.Dr. Oshannessy offers this example: Nganimpa-ng gen wi-m si-m worm mai naus-ria. (We also saw worms at my house.)It is easy to see nouns come from English. But the -ria ending on aus (house) means “in” or “at,” and it comes from Warlpiri. The -m ending on the verb “si” (see) indicated that eve
35、nt is wither happening now or has happened, a “present or past but not future” tense that does not exist in English or Warlpiri. This is a way of talking so different from either Warlpiri or Kriol that it is considered a new language.The development of the language, Dr. Oshannessy says, began with p
36、arents using baby talk with their children in a combination of the three languages. But the children took that language as their native tongue by adding some changes, especially in the use of verb structures, which are not present in any of the source languages. “After children created the new syste
37、m, it has since become a marker of their identity as being young Warlpiri from the Lajamanu Community,” Dr. Oshannessy says.22What is Dr. Oshannessys main contribution?AShe has preserved aboriginal languages.BShe has worked hard to save dying languages.CShe has helped to popularize English in Austra

67、s that are not so obvious. Lets look at a few of them.(但是世界遗产名录包含了很多不那么明显的地点。让我们来看看其中的一些)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍了世界遗产名录上一些不太明显的地点。故选C。12细节理解题。根据Borders of France and Spain部分中“But it is also an area of small farms. People there still use a type of agriculture that used to be common in mountainous areas of Europ
68、e but has almost completely disappeared in modern times.(但这里也有一些小型农场。那里的人们仍然使用一种曾经在欧洲山区很常见的农业，但在现代几乎完全消失了)”可知，世界遗产名录列出了法国和西班牙的边界，可能是因为它向我们展示了过去欧洲社会的农业类型。故选A。13Robben Island in South Africa部分中“This island was used through the centuries as a prison, a hospital and a military base. But its probably mos
69、t famous as a maximumsecurity prison for political prisoners in the twentieth century. Nelson Mandela was one of its most famous residents.

We, while living here, had not really don
71、e anything ourselves for our own people”（他不是一个Chennai的人，却特意地去帮助这些受影响的人。然而，我们这些居住在这里的人，却还没有为我们的人做任何事情）可知，是一个陌生人的善举激励Santosh帮助灾民。故选C。15词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Little did he know that the November flood was just the beginning, and the real show was about to begin. The December flood affected them all.”（他不知道11月份的
72、洪水只是个开始，而真正的表演才即将开始。12月份的洪水影响到了所有人）可知，12月份的洪水比11月份造成的后果严重，所以此处的“the real show”指的是12月更严重的洪水。故选B。16推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，Santosh的家也遭受了洪水，但是他依然去帮助其他受灾的人们。这说明他无私且乐于助人。故选C。17标题判断题。本文主要讲述了在金奈发生了严重的洪灾期间，Santosh和一些好心人准备了170 000份盒饭救援灾区的故事，所以D项适合作本文的标题。故选D。18C19B20D21B【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种冬眠的松鼠，地松鼠。它以将电解质从血液中换到其他地方储存的
73、方式来降低血液浓度，而这项发明可能用于治疗糖尿病等人类疾病。18细节理解题。由第一段For up to 8 months, the tiny mammals wont eat or drink anything at all可知，地松鼠可以多达8个月不吃不喝。即地松鼠冬眠时可以数个月不喝水。故选C。19推理判断题。由第二段a high blood concentration(血液浓度) makes animals, including humans, feel thirty可知血液浓度高促使动物包括人类感到口渴，由此可以推断出冬眠的松鼠不口渴是因为血液浓度低。故选B。20细节理解题。由倒数第二
74、段chemical tests revealed the squirrels regulate their blood concentration by getting rid of electrolytes(电解质)like sodium and other chemicals like glucose and urea and storing them elsewhere in the body可知，化学测试表明松鼠调节血液浓度是通过将电解质转移至身体其他部位储存的方式进行的，即移走某种特定的物质即电解质，并储存到其他地方。故选D。21观点态度题。由最后一段可知这项发现可以用来治疗糖尿病或
75、者帮助长时间在太空站的宇航员，有实际运用的价值，即作者对此持积极态度。故选B。【点睛】科技型说明人题型考查学生两个方面的能力：第一、把握整篇文章的布局和逻辑层次关系第二、把握微观信息间关联性，即空格前后句间关系。22D23B24B25C【分析】本文主要介绍的是虽然有很多濒临灭绝的语言，但最近值得高兴的是有一种新的语言诞生了，这就是由澳大利亚偏远山区的孩子们创造的语言Light Warlpiri。22D细节理解题。根据第三段Dr. Oshannessy has been able to document a “new” language in the very early period of i
76、ts existence.可知，Dr. Oshannessy的主要贡献就是在Light Warlpiri这种语言的存在早期就开始记录了，所以她记录了这种语言的发展。故选D。23B细节理解题。根据第四段Everyone in Lajamanu speaks “strong” Warlpiri, an aboriginal(澳大利亚土著的）language unrelated to English and shared with about 4,000 people in several Australian villages.可知，在Lajamanu中最常说的就是Light Warlpiri这种
77、言语。故选B。24B推理判断题。根据最后一段中especially in the use of verb structures, which are not present in any of the source languages.可知，主要是语法上的变化使它成为一种新的语言。故选B。25C细节理解题。根据最后一段“After children created the new system, it has since become a marker of their identity as being young Warlpiri from the Lajamanu Community,” Dr. Oshannessy says.可知，根据Dr. Oshannessy所说，Light Warlpiri成为年轻的Warlpiri一代的标志，所以这对显示年轻的Warlpiri一代的身份上是很有帮助的。故选C。答案第19页，总20页
