Among its attractions are the symbols printed beneath the Chinese characters on road signs and shop fronts（Starbucks included）. They are Dongba pictographs, an ancient form of script（文字）that originated among the Naxi, a local ethnic group. It almost died until about a decade ago, when local officials began to realize its value and covered the town with it.Dongba was never widely used by the Naxi, of whom there are about 300,000 living in the Himalayan foothills near Lijiang, as well as inTibetandSichuanprovince. The pictographs, which evolved as early as the seventh century, were developed by shamans（巫师）of the Dongba faith, which has roots in Tibet.Over 20,000 of these religious records survive. They provide rich insight into how Naxi people thought about war, geography, astronomy and agriculture. But they are extremely hard to read. Linguists are helped by the areas Dongba priests（神职人员）. There are about 600, most of them very old, including Yang Guoxing, who ran a school from 2010 to 2015 to teach Dongba to children living in the mountains. When Mr Yang was growing up, “everyone was too busy farming” to learn it. Now they are all busy soaking up the pop culture，he says.Signs at bus stations in ruralYunnanencourage locals to use written and spoken Chinese. But the Naxi get off lightly compared with other ethnic minorities. Primary schools in Lijiang teach the Dongba script twicea week, as well as Naxi nursery rhymes. Li Dejing, head of the Dongba Culture Research Institute, says this is not just about keeping alive the pictographs, but letting children grasp “the very spirit of their own culture”.

The Influence of the Dongba Script BBig, old trees are dyingfaster than in the past, leaving younger, less biodiverse forests that store less carbon worldwide. They give us paper and fuel, as well as vital ecological serviceslike cleaning the air, storing carbon and providing habitat. Were talking about trees, of course. But human changes to the environment appear to be causing profound changes to trees around the world.In a new study, scientists reviewed global research on trends in tree seedlings growth and death. They combined those data with an analysis of deforestation. And they found that worldwide, older trees are dying at a higher rate than in the past due to factors like rising air temperature, wildfires, drought and pathogens(病原菌).“And most ofthe driversof that decrease in large, old trees are increasing themselves, such as temperature is going up, droughts are more severe, wildfires, windstorms and deforestation are all on the increasealthough variable across the globetheyre generally increasing. And so for both the loss has already occurred, but we expect more continued loss of big, old trees.” said Nate McDowell, an earth scientist at Pacific Northwest National Lab, who was one of the studys authors.“So if we have an increasing rate of death, particularly of the larger, older trees, whats leftare the younger trees. So thats why, on average, through the loss of bigger, older trees, our forests are becoming inherently(天生地) younger and shorter.”This trend is a problem, because old trees are vitally important.“For sure, the increase in death does limit the carbon storage of an ecosystem and can force the system to become a carbon source to the atmosphere. The second reason we care is from a biodiversity perspective: old trees tend to house a higher biodiversity than young forests do. And the third reason is aesthetic: as a society, we care about these trees. We have national parks named after these big trees. So theres a personal reason for people to care about this as well.”5.

To illustrate a phenomenon about old trees.C. To share the findings of a new study about trees.D. To analyze the reasons why some trees are dying faster.三、书面表达你校响应国家号召，开展了“厉行节约，反对浪费”的活动。崇尚节俭在校园内已蔚然成风。请你就此活动的背景、内容和影响，为校英文报写一篇报道注意：1写作词数应为80左右；2题目已为你写好参考词汇：厉行节约，反对浪费practice strict economy and combat wasteNew Fashion in Our School_一、翻译句子1.The Chinese have made/have been making fine/decent/delicious food out of simple raw ingredients since ancient times.2.The traffic policeman signaled to him to pull over, because he overlooked the single-lane sign.3.To our delight, the food here is served in small portions/servings and the signs of “clear/empty your plate(s)” can be seen everywhere.4.The carefully-made film, whose theme is distinct and plot is moving, is regarded/praised as an undying classic/a timeless classic/a long-lasting classic.二、阅读理解1.
