C
In a faraway area in northern Mexico,there lives a native Indian group called the Tarahumaras (塔拉烏馬拉族) .Besides owning some cooking tools and farming equipment,the Tarahumaras exist much as they did before the Spanish sarrived in the 1600s. They live in caves or in small houses made of stone and wood,and they eat what little they can grow on the dry land.
Ten years ago ,linguist(語(yǔ)言學(xué)家) James Copeland entered the world of the Tarahumaras to study their language and culture. Since then,he has been visiting the Tarahumaras three or four times a year. Tafahumara is not a written language,so part of Copeiand,s project was to learn to speak Tarahumara so that he could deal directly with the people. “There are no language police ,” Copeland says. “Children are seldom corrected by their parents. They learn by observation of speech in conversations and by imitation."
Copeland learned the language through his frequent exposure to it and by analyzing the grammar. His linguistic skills and mastery of German,Spanish,French,and Russian,plus a partial knowledge of some twenty other languages,also helped. Drawing on his research,Copeland plans to produce a Tarahumara grammar book in j English and perhaps one in Spanish.
The idea to study the Tarahumaras came to Copeland in 1984 when he discovered that very!little research had been done on their language. He got in touch with a Tarahumara Indian called Lomezo Gonzalez through a social worker who worked with the Tarahumaras in the border town of Juarez,Mexico. At first,Gonzalez was very reluctant to cooperate. He told Copeland that no amount of money could buy his language. But after Copeland explained to him what he intended to do with his research and how it would benefit the Tarahumaras,Gonzalez agreed to help and took Copeland to his village. uOver a period of a year our relationship became closer and warmer/' says Copeland. “Thanks to him,the Tarahumaras started trusting us and understood what we were doing."

C篇(語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí))
本文是說明文。文章介紹了語(yǔ)言學(xué)家James Copeland為研究墨西哥塔拉烏馬拉族文化以及語(yǔ)言所做出的努力。
28. B. 推理判斷題。由第一段描述塔拉烏馬拉族人住在山洞、缺少食物、過著與 世啼絕的生活等可知,他們的生活簡(jiǎn)樸、艱難。
29. A. 推理判斷題。由第二段Copeland介紹塔拉烏馬拉語(yǔ)不是文字語(yǔ)言、沒有相 關(guān)的語(yǔ)言規(guī)范、完全靠觀察和模仿學(xué)習(xí)和第三段他利用自己掌握的多種語(yǔ)言知識(shí)學(xué)習(xí)該語(yǔ)言可知,塔拉烏馬拉語(yǔ)不易學(xué)。
30. D. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由三、四兩段可知,在 Copeland研究塔拉烏馬拉族文化之前,基本沒有關(guān)于其語(yǔ)言的相關(guān)研究,于是他通過一位當(dāng)?shù)厝说膸椭鷣斫佑|該族 人并學(xué)習(xí)其語(yǔ)言。
31. D. 詞義gillT題。由最后一段的no amount of money could buy his language 和 after Copeland explained to him ... Gonzalez agreed to help 可知,Gonzalez 一開始并不愿意和Copeland合作。

Dear Mr. Zhang,
Known that our school is going to set up elective English courses,I'd like to give some advices. English Visual-Audio-Oral Course is a good choice. Most of us are interested at English videos and songs,that provide us with great images and beautiful music to listen to. As result,we can enjoy some local customs and singing English songs with joy. In addition,we need to improve our oral English. When we are always learning English,we may not be able to make a fluent speech. We can't easy communicate with others like native speakers. That is why I suggested taking a Speech Course. I' 11 be glad that if you can consider my suggestions.
Yours,
Li Hua
