by playing,teaching and making guqin.When Yang Lan first became interested in guqin,he was 16 and he didnt really knowmuch about it.It was 2003 and a poetic（充 满 诗 情 画 意 的）scene in a film attracted him.Guqin hasexisted（存 在）for over 3,000 years.In the same year that Yang developed an interest in it,guqin music was seen as an intangible heritage（m E物 质 文 化 遗 产）of humanity byUNESCO.Yang got to know stories related to the instrument.The boy was further attracted by thecultural connotations（内 涵）of the ancient instrument,though he admits the attraction ismore about imagination,instead of the instrument itself.But the imagination really built arelationship between him and guqin.After years of exploration,he finally makes a living byplaying and making guqin,and he has just published a book about his experience with theinstrument.At 16,shortly after his epiphany（顿 悟）,Yang decided to drop out of school andpursue a music career.He told his parents he would go to Beijing and become a rockmusician.But,actually he wanted to move to Shaolin Temple to learn guqin.His parents tried to prevent him quitting school,but they failed.In the autumn of theyear,Yang left home.“You dont consider the results of your decisions at 16.I was simply attracted bysomething and drawn to start a journey to find it.says Yang.After nearly 20 years,Yang,now 35,says he does not regret his choice as he hassatisfied with his current life,but,sometimes,he feels curious about how his life would haveturned out if he had taken another path.26.Can you guess the meaning of“drop out of school“according to

angrythen.She tore it to pieces and ate it,after she had killed it.”4What makes her so cruel sometimes?”asked Norah.Cant we teach her better,mother?“No,said Fred.We cant,she kills and eats other animals because she was made fbr it,and meant for it.Let me tell you something Ive learnt about it at school.Shall I,Norah?“Do,please J said her sister.“Then take puss on your lap（大 腿 上），Norah,and well begin,said he.First look ather eyes.Now look into my eyes.You see that round black spot in the middle of my eye?That is the pupil（瞳 孑 L）of the eye.Light enters the eye through the pupil.In the

her now while she is stretching herself.What a wide mouthshe has and what long sharp teeth.Four of the teeth,two in each jaw,are much larger andstronger than the rest.Teacher says that they are meant for seizing and tearing the mice andbirds.We move our jaw from seizing and tearing the mice to birds.We move our jaw fromside to side,as well as up and down,when we chew our food.The cats jaw cannot do it,itmoves only up and down.Her jaws as well as her teeth are meant fbr cutting,not forchewing.“How amazing!?,Norah laughed.Moreover,a cafs tongue is not smooth,like our tongue.It is set with small,sharp,horny points which stretch backwards.The cat uses her rough tongue to strip the flesh fromthe bones.“Now,one more look at her feet.If we took the cat up when she was angry,we shouldsee that each toe（曲 I:头）is armed with a strong,pointed claw.We dont see them now;shekeeps them in a sheath.She only stretches them out when she is angry.,said Fred.29.What is possibly“the pussy angel“in

Alice.“I do,said the officer.tcHe used to fight with the Mohawks and once he was an enemyof your father,but that was a long time ago.Now he is our friend.,“Does Magua speak English?said Alice.4tCan you ask him to say anything?Heyward laughed.He pretends he doesnt know any English.He only speaks it if he hasJust then the Indian stopped and pointed to a dark path through the bushes.There wasonly space for one horse to pass.“Maybe we should travel with the soldiers,said Alice.UI dont feel safe with Magua”“Just because he has some different manners from us and his skin is dark,it doesntmean we should distrust him,“said the dark-haired woman.Alice did not reply to her sister.She rode her horse through the bushes and followed Magua down the dark path betweenthrees.The riders（骑 马 的 人）continued through the forest.kThe servants（仆 人）must leave usnow and change the direction,said Magua.Then it will be more difficult for MontclamsIndians to follow our tracks（踪 迹）Heyward told the servants to ride

Feb 21,UNESCO（联 合 国 教 科 文 组 织）holds an International MotherLanguage Day（IMLD）.The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance ofthe worlds languages;many of them are disappearing each year.UNESCO sees this as aterrible fact.37 Something great is lost,not just sounds and words but the way that peopleunderstand the world and communicate with each other.We keep different cultures andtraditions through languages.Killing a language means all these are killed too.Through IMLD,more and more people come to realize the terrible situation and try tostop it.38 Many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload（上 传）texts,audios（音 频）and videos to the project website.They want to introduce the way thatpeople communicate and express themselves around the world.The Myaamia Project is the same kind of effort to revive the language spoken by theMiami tribes（部 落）of the United States.Project members work to encourage people tostudy and communicate with this language,which died out in the 1960s.These activities give life to those endangered languages.39 Many youngpeople design apps and use social media（媒 体）to support their activities.They“spread theword“to save the world.So,while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one,there ishope.40 This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of SouthAfrica,Nelson Mandela:If you talk to a man in a language he understands,that goes to hishead.If you talk to a man in his own language,that goes to his heart.A.We all have a special feeling of our mother languages.B.More and more people realize the importance of protecting endangered languages.C.The organization has taken action to stop this trend.D.What happens when a language dies out?E.People who work to keep languages alive are not limited to the past.F.Googles 2018 Endangered Languages Project is a good example.五、语 法 填 空 阅 读 下 面 短 文，在 空 白 处 填 入 1个 适 当 的 单 词 或 括 号 内 单 词 的 正 确
