10、,containers,and cooking pots,but hats,boats,fish traps,baby carriers,and ceremonial objects.Of all these experts,none excelled the Pomo-a group who lived on or near the coast during the 1800s,and whose descendants continue to live in parts of the same region to this day.They made baskets three feet

11、in diameter and othersno bigger than a thimble(顶针).The Pomo people were masters of decoration.Some of their baskets were completely covered with shell pendants；others with feathers that made the baskets surfaces as soft as the breasts of birds.Moreover,the Pomo people made use of more weaving techni

12、ques than did their neighbors.Most groups made al their basketwork by twining-the twisting of a flexible horizontal material,called a weft,around stiffer vertical strands of material,the warp.Others depended primarily on coiling-a process in which a continuous coil of stiff material is held in the d

13、esired shape with tight wrapping of flexible strands.Only the Pomo people used both processes with equal ease and frequency.In addition,they made use of four distinct variations on the basic twining process,often employing more than one of them in a single article.Although a wide variety of material

14、s was available,the Pomo people used only a few.The warp was always made of willow,and the most commonly used weft was sedge root,a woody fiber that could easily be separated into strands no thicker than a thread.For color1,the Pomo people used the bark of red-bud for their twined work and dyed bull

15、rush root for black in coiled work.Though other materials were sometimes used,these four were the staples in their finest basketry.If the basketry materials used by the Pomo people were limited,the designs were amazingly varied.Every Pomo basket maker knew how to produce from fifteen to twenty disti

19、B.Baskets produced by Pomo weaves were primarily for ceremonial and religious purposes.C.There were a very limited number of basket-making materials available to the Pomo people.D.The basket-making production of the Pomo people has been increasing over the years.C In many countries of the world,peop

20、le can confidently tell youthe meaning of their town or city,but most people who live inManchester,OxfordorBirminghamwould not be able to explain what the name of their city means.The name of every British town and city,however,has a long history.Two thousand years ago,most people living inBritainwe

21、re Celts.Even the word“Britain is Celtic(凯尔特语).Then the Romans arrived and built camps which became cities called“castra.This is why there are so many place names inEnglandwhich end in-chester or“-casterManchester,for example.The Romans never reachedWalesorScotland,and many placenames there are Celt

22、ic.For example,Welsh place names that begin with“Llan come from the Celtic word for church.After the Romans leftBritain,it was attacked by the Anglo-Saxons who were from the area of Europe that is nowGermanyandHolland.The names of their villages often ended in“-ham or“-ton.Some got their names from

23、the leader of the village.SoBirminghamfor example,means Beormunds village”The Anglo-Saxons were farmers and the landscape was very important to them,so we have villages called Upton(village on a hill)a good place to build a village and Moreton(“village by a lake”)where floods could make life hard.Pl

24、ace names that end in“-ford(a place where you could cross a river)also describe the location of Anglo-Saxon villages.Finally,in 1066EnglandbecameNormantheNormansgave us the place name grange,which means farm.And how aboutLondon?Experts cannot agree.The Romans called the city Londinium,but they were

25、not the first inhabitants(居民).People once believed that theUnited Kingdoms capital city got its name from the castle of a King called Lud but this is very unlikely.Our best guess today is that the name comes from a Celtic word meaning a fast-flowing river.Like a number of British place names,its his

26、tory is lost in time.8.The origin of British place names is unfamiliar to many local people because of A.the death of local languages B.the long lost history of the names C.their lack of interest in it D.the frequent changes to the names 9.According to the article,Stratfordis most likely a town .A.o

29、throughout your life.For this reason,the beating of a drum stands for the rhythm of life for many people around the world.InGhana,a country inAfrica,many schools use drums instead of bells to show the beginning and ending of class.Through the drum,the children ofGhanaalso learn about their history a

30、nd culture.They hear old stories passed on through the music of the drum.The stories of the drum also teach children games,rules and lessons about behavior.For thousands of years inAfrica,drums have been used to tell stories of daily life and history.Drums told the coming of a king,the start of a wa

31、r,or the birth of a child.They also allowed people to share messages.But how does a drum tell a story?InWest Africa,the most common drum used for communication is called a“talking drum”.By making higher orlower drum sounds,the drummer can make the drum“talk”.In many African languages,words go up and

32、 down in pitch(高音)when they are spoken,almost like a song.Depending on the pitch or tone(音调),the same sound can have many different meanings.For example,when spoken with two low tones,the African word“ilu”means“drum”.When spoken with one high and one low tone,“ilu”means“town”.Drum language works in

33、the same way.Just as in spoken language,the word“ilu”has different meanings depending on how its drummed.When“ilu”is drummed with two beats using low tones,the word means“drum”.When“ilu”is drummed with two beats using one high and one low tone,it means“town”.Drummers create“words”to build ideas,sent
