7.La Gomera is the only place in the world that has a whistle(口哨) language.We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island.But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language.There are many deep valleys on the island.A person on one side of a valley can not easily shout to a person on the other side.But he can whistle and be heard.Some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles.
The people who live on the island usually have good teeth,and this helps them to whistle well.They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers.
We can understand why the whistle language continues.It is very useful on the island,and quite easy to learn.When somebody is hurt or ill,the whistle language takes the place of telephone.If the sick person is quite far away from the town,people pass the message from one to another.A boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat.The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town.People help one another in the same way when a car breaks down or a cow is lost.
The whistle language is hundreds of years old,and probably it will continue to live on for hundreds of years more.Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in different parts of a country.But on La Gomera you are nobody if you cannot whistle.Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island,people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions.
24.If a person on La Gomera is ill,A.
A.the whistle language will help pass the message to the doctor
B.people will take him to town by carriage
C.his family will take him to the hospital
D.others will phone the doctor in town
25.La Gomera is special becauseD.
A.we don't know its complete history
B.people have to shout if they want to communicate
C.people there have good teeth and ears
D.people there use the whistle language to communicate with each other
26.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A
A.The whistle language has been used for hundreds of years on the island,but will not be used any longer.
B.The whistle language can only be found on La Gomera.
C.It is not easy for a person to live on La Gomera if he cannot whistle.
D.The record shows that one best whistler can be heard by others from seven miles away.
27.Which of the following will be the best title of this passage?B
A.The Secret Language     
B.Do You Know the Whistle Language?
C.The Life of Islanders     
D.La Gomera-a Mystery.

分析 文章介绍了一个特殊的地方La Gomera,这里的人使用口哨 语言彼此交流,口哨语言已经在岛上使用了上百年了,在当地政府的大力保护下避免了灭绝的危险,但世界上有接近一半的语言处于濒临灭绝的境地,需要人类共同努力来挽救.

解答 24-27 ADAB
24.A  细节理解题  根据第三段的When somebody is hurt or ill,the whistle language takes the place of telephone.If the sick person is quite far away from the town,people pass the message from one to another.A boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat.The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town.可知如果有人病了,口哨会代替电话,从一个人传给另外一个最后准确地传给医生.
25.D 细节理解题 根据第一段的La Gomera is the only place in the world that has a whistle language.和第二段的It is very useful on the island,and quite easy to learn.和最后一段的But on La Gomera you are nobody if you cannot whistle.可知La Gomera之所以保持特殊是因为这是唯一一个用口哨语的地方,并且口哨语是当地人们交流的一个重要方式.
26.A 细节理解题 根据:The whistle language is hundreds of years old,and probably it will continue to live on for hundreds of years more.可知吹口哨还会持续下去,因此A选项错误;根据:But on La Gomera you are nobody if you cannot whistle.可知C正确;根据:La Gomera is the only place in the world that has a whistle language.可知B正确;根据Some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles.可知D正确.故答案选A.
27.B 主旨大意题 本文主要介绍了La Gomera岛上的口哨语言的起源以及日常生活中的作用,而不是介绍的岛屿,排除CD,A选项是指一种秘密语言,显得过于宽泛和笼统,不够具体,而B选项Do You Know the Whistle Language?以疑问句的形式出现可以吸引读者,引起读者的思考,故B为答案.

17.I look in the mirror,and I'm not happy with what I see.I don't have a"perfect"face.I look in the magazines and all I see are girls with fair hair,blue eyes,and,of course,a pretty little nose.They're on the outside of the buses that I take home,the television programs I watch,and the billboards(广告牌)I walk under.Almost every advertisement I see shows this human physical"perfection".These billboards not only tell me what to drink,but also how to look.
    Our society places more importance on a person's physical beauty,rather than their ability,honesty and character.We have influenced women to go through painful surgeries(手术)and starve themselves to become this society-built physical model.To be a beautiful woman in the 21st century doesn't mean that you are a brilliant doctor or caring mother.It means you have the perfect jaw,eyes and lips.It means that you can be six feet tall and weigh one hundred and ten pounds.
But what about the women who are starting to leave their youth?Instead of looking at aging as a sign of wisdom,we try to prevent the aging process (过程).It's a kind of funny thing to want to look eighteen when fifty.Fifty is a relaxed age,when you can step back and look at all you've achieved(successfully complete something).It is when your hard work pays off.Unfortunately,our society just sees you as"old".To stop the aging process,women buy wrinkle(皱纹)creams,do eye lifts and face lifts.They spend thousands of dollars to win the hopeless battle against age.
    I remember when I was about thirteen years old and going through teens,I had oily hair,and a half develo ped body.I hated the way I looked.I used to cry to my mother all the time,but she would just laugh and tell me that"you don't want anyone to like your appearance.It's your heart that is important,because beauty fades(消逝)."I knew that she was right.If you work on your heart enough,people will start to see the beauty in you,which lasts and remains on even after you die.
