New Year.

the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is perfectly formed little

firework (烟花) that knows how to see in the year with a bang. Decorated (装饰) with red

Found in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural

diversity. Built in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and

So sing the children at Hawaiis Punana Leo Hilo kindergarten on the Big Island of Hawaii.

The chant is much like any other “Rain, rain, go away” nursery rhyme, but it has an unusual

power: it is one of the tools that has brought about the revival(复兴)of a near-dead language.

The decline of Hawaiian was not, as is the case with most disappearing languages, a

natural death caused by migration and mass media. In 1896, after the overthrow of the

Hawaiian monarchy (君主政体) by American business interests, schools were banned from

using the language, and children were beaten for speaking it. By the late 20th century, aside

from a couple of hundred people on one tiny island, English had replaced Hawaiian and only

the old spoke the language to each other.

Larry Kimura, a professor there, and his students wanted to bring it back to life. In 1985,

when educating children in Hawaiian was still banned, Kauanoe Kamana and her husband Pila

Wilson, both students of Kimura's created the first Punana Leo (which means language nest) at

Hilo. They gathered together a small group of children and elderly native speakers. The

movement grew: there are now 12 kindergartens and 23 schools. The number of children being

educated in Hawaiian has risen from 1,877 in 2008 to 3,028 in 2018. Along with Japanese,

Hawaiian is the non-English language most commonly spoken among children.

The success has been hard-won. Campaigners had to get the law changed. “People in the

community, even in our families, were saying: ‘You'll ruin your children's future. They won't be

able to go to college.’ ” Such fears turned out to be unfounded. All the pupils at Nawahi, the

main Hawaiian-medium school, complete high school, compared with the state average of 83%;

87% go to college, compared with a state average of 55%.

But academic outcomes are not the primary focus, says Mr. Wilson. “We value our

connection with our ancestors more than we value being millionaires,” he says. Mr. Kimura

explains that the schools have allowed Hawaiians to pass on their culture.

8．What made the Hawaiian language nearly die out?

A．Migration. B．The ban on it.

C．Mass media. D．Population decline.

9．What effort was made to bring the Hawaiian language back to life?

A．Going on a strike. B．Supporting the law.

C．Setting up a community college. D．Educating more local children in it.

10．What is the main value of the Hawaiian language according to Mr. Wilson?

A．Making a fortune by learning it. B．Focusing on academic outcomes.

C．Passing on the Hawaiian culture. D．Reducing the influence of English.

11．What is the best title of the passage?

A．The value of Hawaiian. B．The revival of Hawaiian.

C．The popularity of Hawaiian. D．The near-death of Hawaiian.

The way Jason Momoa describes Hawaii’s beloved inactive volcano, Mauna Kea,

makes you understand why it’s considered sacred(神圣的).

"It’s kind of the umbilical cord(脐带) to earth," the actor tells CNN. "You know, if you

think about the Hawaiian islands, that’s the biggest mountain in the world, right? All the way up.

So Mauna Kea is the most sacred. We call it the belly button, too. That’s like our birthplace.

That’s how our islands were formed. So how can that not be sacred?"

He would know. Jason, a native of Hawaii, has had a near-constant presence there when

he’s not working, fighting with local protestors to stop the construction of the Thirty Meter

Telescope, or TMT, which would drill directly into the mountain and invade its precious water

supply. So far, protestors have successfully blocked the only road crews seeking to go up the

mountain in order to build the billion-dollar observatory.

"It started in 2015. What’s happening over there was just not right," Jason says. "And I

went over there to meet with everyone to bring the point to the world." Jason joins the protests

when he can. He cared so deeply about the preservation of the land that when he had spare time

to lend his support, he was there. "You also have to remember, that’s our water source. So

having an 18-story building built on top of the tallest mountain from the sea level on our water

level is terrible."

The Game of Thrones star says he feels the movement is working and describing his part

in it as a calling to do what he feels right in his soul. "There’s massive progress that’s bringing

our people together," he says, adding, "I think there are a lot of problems in Hawaii. There are a

lot of things that have happened in our history, a lot of injustice, and so we’re shining a light on

it. People like myself or Dwayne Johnson, Bruno Mars are trying to spread the concern all

around the world. For my soul I need to be there."

12．Why is Mauna Kea sacred according to Jason?

A．It’s still growing upwards. B．It looks like the belly button.

C．It’s the birthplace of Humans. D．It brings the islands into being.

13．What does “It” refer to in Paragraph 4?

A．The project of building TMT. B．The event of blocking the road crews.

C．The shooting of Game of Thrones. D．The movement of preserving the land.

14．According to Jason,what’s the significance of their movement?

A．Bringing Hawaiian people together. B．Witnessing the history of Hawaii.

C．Bringing Hawaii problems into focus. D．Making Mauna Kea better-known.

15．In which section might the text be read?

A．Travel. B．Celebrity.

C．Culture. D．Technology.

Developments in artificial intelligence, robotics and sensors (传感器) are making houses

and apartments smarter than ever.

IT’S 6 A．M., and the alarm clock is ringing earlier than usual. It’s not a malfunction: the

smart clock scanned your schedule and 16 because you’ve got that big presentation first

thing in the morning. Your shower automatically turns on and warms to your preferred

temperature. The electric car is 17 to go, charged by the solar panels. When you get

home later, there’s a(n) 18 package waiting, delivered by drone. You open it to find cold

medicine. It turns out that health sensors in your bathroom detected 19 of an

approaching illness and placed an order automatically.
