Although not as much as in the past, grandparents are the teachers of the Navajo (纳瓦霍人) youth. They make young people aware of life at an early age. The parents grant them the privilege of teaching the children, and the grandparents take great pride in raising the children or at least having a big part in raising them.Young children often stay with their grandparents for years at a time developing a close and trusting relationship. The grandparents teach the children Navajo legends and the principle of life, emphasizing both new culture trends and the preservation of traditions.The grandparents are also often the leading figures in teaching the youth the arts of weaving, caring for the livestock, using herbal medicine, and other arts and crafts.The children are taught to respect their elders, to care for them, to help them whenever they are in need, and to learn from them. Young people are urged to listen with care to the words of their elders and to keep as much wisdom as possible. Grandparents often go to social gatherings and traditional events, and the young have opportunities to learn more about their culture and traditions.I live with my grandmother for thirteen years, and she raised me in the old ways of our people. Although I was going to school, she taught me as much as she could about our traditions. She was a beautiful woman. If I had a chance, I would listen again to her wise teachings, expressed with kindness in a soft voice that touched my heart.We used to plant corn and pumpkin every summer. They never grew big enough to feed us, but we planted them anyway. I asked my grandmother why. She said, "Grandson, our plants will be far more beautiful than the flowers outside the fence." I did not understand until one day I saw their beauty as I was coming over the hill with her. She said, "Anything that is a part of you is always far more beautiful than the things which you pass by." We had some beautiful years together. I am glad she is a part of me and I am a part of her.Children used to be well disciplined, possessing more respect for culture, tradition, and beliefs than they do now. The world of the Navajo has been influenced by the western world, and the grandparents have less control and influence than they used to. But the young people who have been touched by their teachings have glimpsed a way of life beyond what most people know today.（1）What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. Parents hate to take the trouble to raise children.B. Schools are not very popular with the Navajo youth.C. Grandparents are usually unwilling to teach their grandchildren.D. Children learn about the meaning of life from their grandchildren.（2）Why did the author's grandmother plant corn and pumpkin?A. Because she hated wild flowers.B.

His grandmother's teaching could replace schooling.C. The western world is hardly influenced by the Navajos.D. It is impossible to get grandparents involved in teaching again.（4）What's the purpose of the article?A. To honor the author's grandmother.B. To share with readers a Navajo culture.C.

It is ranging from geometric patterns to drawings of different animals and stylized human-like forms. The ancient lines can only be truly taken in from high in the air, leaving generations puzzled as to how these precise works could have been completed long before the documented invention of human flight.The Lines were first spotted when commercial airlines began flying across the Peruvian desert in the 1920,s. Who built them and what was their purpose? Are they roads, star pointers，maybe even a gigantic map? If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan? These markings are like a vast puzzle.The Nazca Lines are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs in the world. There are also huge geoglyphs in Egypt, Malta，United States (Mississippi and California), Chile，Holivia and in other countries. But the Nazca geoglyphs, because of their numbers， characteristics, dimensions and cultural continuity as they were made and remade throughout a certain history period, form the most impressive archeological (考古学的) group.The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the combination of the climate (one of the driest on Earth, with only twenty minutes of rainfall per year) and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level. With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode (腐蚀) it, lines drawn here tend to stay drawn. These factors, combined with the existence of lighter-colored subsoil beneath the desert surface, provide a vast writing pad that is suited to the artist who wants to leave his mark eternal.（1）What can we know about the Nazca Lines from the first two paragraphs?A. They were built as a big map.B. They were formed by nature.C. They are ancient lines in caves.D. They are huge markings in a desert（2）How many factors make the Nazca Lines the most impressive?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.（3）Why are the Nazca Lines well preserved?A. Because of the wind at ground level.B. Because of the existence of soft soil.C. Because of the climate and geography.D. Because of the thick sand on the top.（4）What does the underlined word “eternal” probably mean?A. Non-stop.B. Ever-lasting.C. Real-life.D. High-end.【答案】（1）D（2）D（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了出现在秘鲁南部Nazca沙漠的大型古代地画The Nazca Lines，其神奇之处及形成原因。

The tournament, due to finish on October 23, is living up to the famous English saying, “Rugby is a thug's (暴徒) game played gentle men. ”The games are physically aggressive; the tackles (冲撞) on the pitch are brutal; but the end of each match is a civilized affair. Players shake hands and applaud each other. Of course, the other side to this saying is: "Football is a gentleman's game played by thugs. " Indeed, unlike soccer players, rugby players don't often question the referee's (裁判员) decisions or pretend to be injured when they are not.“Football could learn a lot from rugby," said Brian Moore, a former England rugby player "The wonderful spirit of rugby is: there is a gentlemanly code to it. You play hard on the pitch, but you always respect your opponent..Rugby is mainly played in Europe. Australia, New Zealand and parts of Africa. "It is more enjoyable to play than soccer because you are always involved in the game," said Peter, a Welsh rugby coach. "Rugby is also a far superior test of strength, stamina (耐力) and determination. " Most professional rugby players are large, strong and weigh over 90 kilograms. People who play the sport need to be tough and be prepared to get hurt. Black eyes, broken bones, lost teeth and being knocked unconscious—all these are common injuries. Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is blind in one eye thanks to a rugby accident at school.In England, children begin playing the game at school at the age of 8. When they enter high school, many begin to play full contact rugby. Children are taught to play for around one hour a week during their PE lessons. Most schools have a rugby team.

Robots are now being employed not just for dangerous tasks, such as discovering mines or rescuing people in disasters. They are also finding application as household helps and as nursing assistants. As increasing numbers of machines, equipped with the latest artificial intelligence, take on a growing variety of specialized and everyday tasks, the question of how people see them and behave towards them becomes ever more urgent.A team led by Sari Nijssen of Radboud University and Markus Paulus, Professor of Developmental Psychology at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU), have carried out a study to determine the degree to which people show concern for robots and behave towards them based on moral principles.According to Sari Nijssen, the study set out to answer the following question:" Under what circumstances would adults be willing to sacrifice robots to save human lives?" The participants were faced with a hypothetical (假设的) moral dilemma: Would they be prepared to put a single person at risk in order to save a group of injured persons? In the situations presented the intended victim was either a human, a humanoid robot that had been humanized (人性化的) to various degrees or a robot that was clearly recognizable as a machine.The study suggested that the more the robot was humanized, the less likely participants were to sacrifice it. Situations that included vivid stories in which the robot was described as a merciful being or as a creature with its own understandings, experiences and thoughts, were more likely to stop the study participants from sacrificing it in the interests of anonymous (无名的) humans. "This result indicates that our study group attached a certain moral status to the robot," says Paulus. "One possible suggestion of this finding is that attempts to humanize robots should not go too far. Such efforts could come into conflict with their intended function—to be of help to us."（1）What has become a concern about robots?A. How to humanize them.B. How to treat them in life.C. How to use them effectively.D. How to find more applications.（2）In the study the participants probably have to decide ________.A. when to sacrifice a robotB. where to experience risksC. which robot to work withD. what robots should be like（3）What can be inferred from Paulus' words?A. Humanized robots offer less help to people.B. Humanizing robots too much may be improper.C. Certain moral status should be attached to robots.D. Conflicts often happen between humans and robots.（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Robots, A Must for FutureB. Humanized Robots, A New TrendC. Robot Saved, People Take the HitD. Humanized Robots, Replace Human【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，随着越来越多的机器人具有人性化，它们承担越来越多样化的专业和日常任务，人们如何看待他们，如何对待他们的问题变的迫在眉睫。

A PG-13 film may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity (裸露), language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category.The theme of the film by itself will not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although activities shown in the film related to a mature theme may result in a restricted rating for the film. Any drug use will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but such nudity in PG-13 rated film generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be violence scene in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence.A single use of one of the rude words in a film, though only as an expletive (感叹语), initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such bad word requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context. The Rating Board nevertheless may rate such a film PG-13 if, based on a special vote by a two-thirds majority, the Raters feel that most American parents would believe that a PG-13 rating is appropriate because of the context or manner in which the words are used or because the use of those words in the film is easily neglected.（1）What is the main goal of this passage?A.To discuss various movie ratings.B.To explain various movie ratings.C.To explain the difference between PG-13 and R movie ratings.D.To explain the PG-13 movie rating.（2）According to PG-13 rating, the theme of the movie __________.A.has little impact on its ratingB.has a large impact on its ratingC.should be entertainingD.should be suitable for children（3）From Paragraph 2, we can learn that drug usage __________.A.should not be allowed in moviesB.is dangerousC.makes a PG-13 rating necessaryD.is not appropriate for children under 13（4）What does a movie with two or more uses of bad words require?A.A PG rating.B.A PG-13 rating.C.An R rating.D.An NC-17 rating.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）C（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。

The new president of Harvard University is the son of an Eastern European refugee and Auschwitz (奥斯威辛) survivor—Lawrence S. Bacow. His father worked full time while attending a state college in Detroit at night to earn his degree.Bacow, the former president of Tufts University, has taken over Harvard at a time when higher education is under attack for being financially out of reach to many Americans. But Bacow said his family's journey had reflected the power of college education to transform generations and the opportunities that have historically been available in the United States."My parents came to this country with almost nothing," Bacow said. "I wouldn't be here if this country had not been open to people like my parents at that time. Nor would I if my father hadn't had the opportunity to get the college education."Bacow grew up in Pontiac, Michigan. His father's family fled anti-Jewish (反犹太的) violence in Minsk, then part of the Soviet Union, before the start of World War II and went to the United States. His mother arrived in Brooklyn at age 19, having survived Auschwitz concentration camp. She was the only Jew from her town to have survived the war. Yet Bacow, who is married with two sons, said that while growing up in Michigan, he had a happy childhood, entering science fairs as a child and building radios like his dad.Bacow has spent most of his professional career at MIT, Harvard and Tufts. He was a professor of environmental studies at MIT, and later a principal at the university. He led Tufts from 2001 to 2011. At Tufts, Bacow earned a reputation for shaking up a sleepy university that was being overshadowed by its peers in Boston. He is also credited with leading it through both 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis.As the Tufts president, Bacow traveled around the country, reaching out to alumni (校友), and he urged his faculty and deans to do the same, in an effort to boost donations to finance Tufts' academic ambitions. He raised more than $20 million for faculty recruitment, attracting up-and-coming professors by offering junior faculty perks (福利), such as long academic leaves that they couldn't get elsewhere.Under Bacow's leadership, Tufts spent millions on labs and libraries. He also made addresses nationally about the need to make higher education more accessible and affordable to low-income students.（1）The reason why Bacow appreciates college education is that ________.A. college education is out of reach to many AmericansB. his family changed their fate due to college educationC. few opportunities were available when his father came into the countryD. a college degree helped his mother survive Auschwitz（2）What can we infer from the passage?A. The fellow townspeople of Bacow were all killed besides his mother.B. Bacow's mother stimulated his interest in science.C. Bacow's father was good at working with electronics.D. Bacow's father came to the U.S. after World War II broke out.（3）The underlined word "shaking up" in paragraph 5 probably means ________.A. reactivatingB. causingC. damagingD. taking over（4）What is this passage mainly about?A.

2023年高考英语新时政热点阅读 06 中华文化流行与传播(含解析)
2023年高考英语新热点时文阅读-中华文化流行与传播01（2022·河北·高三阶段练习）Since the beginning of the China chic(中国风) fever roughly two years ago, Chinese elements have become increasingly popular among young illustrators and designers. From Chinese YouTuber Li Ziqi to the design of clothes to furniture, Chinese aesthetics(美学) can be found everywhere. Wu Yao, a well-known Chinese illustrator and designer, said in an interview that the emergence of China chic is in fitting with the times and provides ordinary consumers, both Chinese and foreign, with a channel and opportunity to learn about Chinese tradition.The fundamental reason for the popularity of China chic comes from the all-covering nature of Chinese art. For instance, Chinese paintings have an extensive range of subjects and styles. There are a lot of French artists or fashion masters who have a lot of Chinese collections at home.Some experts say that Chinese millennials(千禧一代) are a generation who grew up with the revival of Chinese culture. They are confident in their own culture, pay more attention to quality, innovation, personal experience and are willing to experience multiculturalism. Therefore a sense of identity and confidence in traditional culture began to emerge among them.At the same time, to satisfy the Chinese market, a lot of foreign brands introduced products with Chinese elements such as "tiger bags" or clothing printed with flowers popular in Northeast China. However, it seems that Chinese consumers are not buying these products. This is due to the designer of these products' lack of understanding of Chinese culture. They don't know the stories of these cultural relics, so they define a Chinese style according to their own understanding."They don't take our traditional culture as seriously as we do. As Chinese designers, we carefully search literature, learn traditional culture and do much work before each creation, but they do not care so much about this," Wu noted.1．Why is Li Ziqi mentioned?A．To praise Li Ziqi for her great success.B．To give an example of Chinese aesthetics.C．To show her influence on Chinese aesthetics.D．To attract more people to know and follow her.2．What makes China chic so popular?A．More art collectors' emergence.B．The easier access to Chinese art.C．The wide coverage of Chinese art.D．People's improved aesthetic standards.3．What might Wu Yao advise foreign designers to do?A．Take their profession more seriously.B．Change their attitude toward the China chic.C．Create more products with Chinese elements.D．Learn more about Chinese traditional culture.4．What is mainly talked about in the text?A．The characteristics of Chinese aesthetics.B．The popularity of China chic in the world.C．The challenges facing young artists in China.D．The distinctions between Chinese and other aesthetics.02（2022·江西省乐平中学高三开学考试）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形式。

Americans with the ability to speak their tribe's language has decreased over the past century.Now, Indian Nations are trying different ways to expand the number of native speakers, and increase interest in their communities to learn tribal languages.Since the late 1800s many American Indian children have attended boarding schools. At that time, Indian children were required to attend schools by law, and the government forced Indian families to send their children to such schools.The children were separated from their families. and given English name The teachers often taught native American students in English, instead of the language of their parents. They were told they needed to learn English in order to get a job, earn money and buy a house or nice things.However, fearing a loss of history and culture, the Indian Nations are experimenting with new ways to increase the language ability of tribal members.At least one organization is turning to modern technology---The Sealaska Heritage Institute, a nonprofit group, has developed two apps for speakers of the Tlingit language.The "Learning Tlingit" app serves as a reference for important language topics such as conversation phrases, number, and letters.The Tlingit tribe has about 10, 000 members. They live mainly in southeastern Alaska.

高考英语阅读理解(社会文化)专题训练答案含解析一、高中英语阅读理解社会文化类1．阅读理解There are lots of ways to educate yourself on the Internet. You can find photos, documents, and films on almost any topic you can imagine. And at , you can access lectures by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together individuals from the fields of technology, entertainment and design. It was intended to be a one-time event focusing on technology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event. There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized spin-off conferences address narrower issues.The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to "offer free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers," as the website puts it. The current version of the site was launched in April 2007, and contains videos of talks given at the TED conferences around the world. The talks are transcribed into hundreds of languages.The TED website is owned by the Sapling Foundation, a non profit devoted to fostering the spread of great ideas. The Sapling foundation acquired TED in 2001. Since then, it has been focusing on using TED to broadcast ideas that might change the world.TED, of course, isn't immune to criticism. It's been called elitist(精英) for its high ticket prices (more than 6,000 dollars total). It's been accused by a few people of censorship for not publishing their talks. One controversial speaker was upset about being criticized by the conference's host afterward.The complaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, long-running organization. And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED's website. Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.（1）What is the main topic of the article?A.The case against TEDB.What's on TED today.C.Pros and cons of .D.What is TED（2）Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.The TED conference came after the success of .B.Two TED conferences are now held every year.C.TED talks are available in many languages.D.The Sapling Foundation owns .（3）From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that ________.A.it is accepted to all involved that some TED talks might not be publishedB.the host of the conference is one who plays a supportive role to the speakersC.TED is criticized for giving special treatment to the wealthy or powerfulD.the negative comments on TED greatly affects its reputation（4）This author probably believes that________.A.TED is elitistB.TED is beneficialC.TED isn't importantD.TED is the best website【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了TED以及它的历史发展。

Moscow city authorities have begun using comics (漫画) with characters from Russian fairy tales to explain to migrants (移民) how they should behave. They say a 100-page guide is neededto "keep a positive image" of the city and could help reduce "tensions" between natives and migrants. But critics have pointed out that foreign migrants and natives may be regarded as antagonists in the manual (手册).Russians and migrants have repeatedly flooded in Moscow recently. Many migrants from ex-Soviet republics in Central Asia, the Caucasus (高加索) and North Caucasus, arrive in Moscow every year, attracted by the capital's job opportunities and relatively high salaries. A significant number of them work in the Russian capital illegally.The new guide in Russian seeks to explain the "dos" and "don'ts" to migrants. They are urgednot to cause trouble, by staring at women, or eating or talking loudly on the streets. They are also warned that the police may routinely (例行公事) stop them to check their documents.In the manual, Russia's famous "three warriors" are meant to represent the city's law enforcement agencies (执法机关), while Prince Yuri Dolgoruky (a historical character) is used for tours around Moscow. Meanwhile, Vasilisa the Wise and The Snow Maiden test the reader on Russia's language and history. A special section of the book explains the importance of following Moscow's strict residency and employment rules, stressing that migrants could otherwise be deported (驱逐出境) or banned from entry.The manual was written primarily for illegal migrants, Alexander Kalinin, who heads the group Support for Working Migrants in Moscow, told BBC Russian."We want to raise their level of law awareness," he added.Migrant characters had initially (最初) been identified as representatives of different nationalities, but the book's authors later decided to drop this idea so as "not to offend anyone",said Mr. Kalinin."The old conflict between Russian heroes and non-Slavic invaders is being revived," Yevgeny Varshaver, a migration expert told BBC Russian. He also suggested that the language used in the book would be "difficult" to understand for some migrants who were not native Russian speakers.（1）The underlined word "antagonists" in Paragraph 1 can probably be replaced by "________".A. friendsB. acquaintancesC. cooperatorsD. opponents（2）People from other countries come to Moscow "________".A. to find well-paid jobsB. to have a new lifestyleC. to enjoy the fine climateD. to experience a new culture（3）The third paragraph is mainly about "________".A. consequences the migrants may sufferB. the purpose of publishing the handbookC. the measures to attract foreign migrantsD. characters and their functions in Russian fairytales（4）Which of the following would be the best title of the text?A. Ways to help foreign migrants to settle in RussiaB. Characters from Russian fairy tales have new jobsC. More and more foreign migrants to work in MoscowD. Moscow fairy tale comics to help migrants behave【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）B（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了莫斯科当局用童话人物的漫画向移民解释行为规范。

1. Yang Lan_The generation that's remaking China
The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of "China's Got Talent" show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium. Guess who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle. And I told her, "I'm going to Scotland the next day." She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese. [Chinese] So it's not like "hello" or "thank you," that ordinary stuff. It means "green onion for free." Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn't understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese. (Laughter) And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was "green onion for free." So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. That was hilarious.来苏格兰(做TED讲演)的前夜，我被邀请去上海做”中国达人秀“决赛的评委。

英语阅读素材】
A judge on Holland’s Got Talent has sparked an outcry over a series of racist digs he directed at a Chinese contestant.日前在荷兰达人秀节目中，一位评委因为接二连三对一位来自中国的参赛选手进行讽刺性调侃，遭到了很多网友的强烈抗议。
Cornelis Heuckeroth, who goes by the stage name of Gordon, mocked singer Xiao Wang’s ethnicity before, during and after his performance.这位原名叫Cornelis Heuckeroth的评委艺名叫戈登，在这名来自中国的歌手汪潇在台上表演全程，一直讽刺嘲笑他的国籍种族。
Which number are you singing? Number 39 with rice? Heuckeroth asked Xiao after the contestant announced he was to sing an opera aria.汪潇在上台后表示自己将演唱一曲歌剧咏叹调，戈登就问说：你要唱第几号？39号加米饭？（注：这是中式餐馆点餐用语）
After Xiao performed La Donna è Mobile from Verdi’s Rigoletto, Heuckeroth said in a mock Chinese voice: Surplise. Honestly, this is the best Chin ese I’ve had in weeks. And it’s not a takeaway.汪潇表演完意大利作曲家威尔第的歌剧《弄臣》后，评委戈登就模仿中国人的发音说道：惊喜啊！说真的，这是我这几周内见到（吃到）的最好的中国人（菜）了，还不是中餐馆外卖。
注：surplise 此处暗示中国人发不出R的音，Chinese可指中国人也可指中国菜。
Heuckeroth’s remarks were met with a mixture of laughter and embarrassment by Xiao, judges Dan Karaty and Chantal Janzen, and the audience.戈登的恶意调侃让现场笑声迭起，但也让参赛选手汪潇、另外两位评委丹卡拉狄和尚塔尔简森还有现场的观众尴尬不已。
You really are not supposed to say things like that to people, Karaty was heard telling Heuckeroth after the show. It’s awful.比赛结束后丹卡拉狄也指责戈登说道：你实在不应该对人说那样的话，太糟糕了。

Fremantle 传媒，该公司的发言人表示公司已在调查此事件，但在与荷兰节目组进行沟通前，不会发表任何评论。
