题目内容
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.

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.
