A three-mile-long fishhook-shaped piece of land in the middle of Chesapeake Bay, Tangier Island has always been a community set apart from the mainland．

These days, the island's 500-plus residents, who mostly use golf cars as transportation on the village's narrow roads and who don't allow the public consumption of alcohol, have managed to preserve their traditional culture．

Probably the most striking example of their heritage is the islanders' unique way of speaking． David L．Shores, a linguist （话言学家） who was born on Tangier Island, has found out the reason why the speech of Tangier Island strikes outsiders as strange．

According to Shores, the islanders pronounce their vowels louder and longer, which causes common words to sound different when spoken by Tangier natives．

Some scholars have said the natives of Tangier speak an old form of English that goes back to the time of Queen F．Elizabeth I．Shores doesn't buy into that theory． \Elizabethan English by any means,\．\English at that time were great．\

Bruce Gordy, a Tangier native and a former teacher at the island's only school, has made a list of 350 strange expressions and words that he says are used and undertook only by the islanders．But Gordy doesn’t think it's the strange vocabulary that puzzles outsiders most when hearing Tangier residents speak．

“I think what confuses them is the fact that we are talking backwards a lot.\ he say's．

He offers an example．\．\he's smart, but the way I say it makes everyone know I’m emphasizing he's stupid Both Gordy and Shores believe Tangier's isolation （孤立）has led to the islanders' unusual way of speaking．

Now, the economy of Tangier Island is moving away from its tradition of crabbing and fishing as the number of crabs and oysters in the bay declines．More residents are finding work on tugboats（拖船）or looking for jobs on the mainland．

“ Of course the sons and daughters went with their dad out crabbing. You don't go with your dad on the tugboat．That's not going to preserve Tangier culture, \．

33．According to the text, Tangier Island

A．has been discovered recently B．is a fast developing village C．is a land of golf lovers D．has a small population 34．In Shores' opinion, the language the islanders speak A. can't be called English in fact

B. is unique in its pronunciation system

C. can never be understood by outsiders

D. shares some similarities with Elizabethan English

35．What's Gordy's attitude towards the preservation of Tangier culture'?

A．Confident． B．Satisfied C．Concerned． D．Angry． 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Mongo American artists, or artists of the 20th century, Grandma Moses surely ranks among the most famous and recognized．

36 Grandma Moses probably owes most of her legendary status to the fact that her art was exactly the opposite of what most critics considered fine art．She was different—she just didn't fit in with everyone else, But, that's also what makes her art so unique and appealing． Born in Greenwich, New York, in 1860, Anna Mary Robertson and her husband, Thomas Salmon Moses, raised their family on a dairy（奶制品） farm in Virginia．They eventually settled in Eagle Bridge, New York, at the dawn of the 20th century． 37 Due to arthritis（关节炎）, at the age of 76, her embroidered （刺绣的） pictures became too difficult to complete, so she switched to the medium of paint． She continued in this method for the rest of her 101 years．

Local exhibits of her work soon gained popular appeal． 38 Her self-taught style and comfortable, homey themes attracted the public, from art retailers who had never before purchased a painting from an exhibition．

39 In McDonnell Farm（1943）, for example, a group of children are dancing at the right, while all the other figures are busy with farm tasks．

Despite the fact that Anna Moses was painting throughout the Great Depression and the period of World War II, her art remained full of life and hopefulness． 40_

A．In 1930, just three years after the death of' her husband, Anna Moses began creating

embroidered pictures．

B．To what does she owe this great fame?

C．Her favorite subject were drawn from the world around her----prosperous farms and villages． D．She never sold a painting till she was 80．

E．There is no unhappiness or aging in her paintings． F．By 1940 she was exhibiting her art in New York City． G．They celebrated her loath birthday in 1960．
