it provides a way to be proud of her Basque heritage.The dance performances of North American Basque organizations have developed the interest of nonBasque Americans as well.Janet Iribarne from the Basque Dancers explained that their organization is open to anyone, and after seeing her group perform, several of her nonBasque friends have developed their own love of Basque traditions as well.语篇解读：本文是记叙文。作者在一次实习中接触到了巴斯克传统音乐和舞蹈，它们不仅带给巴斯克裔美国人民族认同感，由此建立的友谊也使他们终生难忘。1What is the reason for the authors preference for Irish dance?AHer dance teacher.BHer love of Irish music.CHer interning experience.DHer familys strong root in dance.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第一段中的“because I was surrounded by traditional Irish music .to my Irish heritage”可知，作者喜欢爱尔兰舞蹈是源于家庭氛围的熏陶。2What do we know about Basque people?AMost of them live abroad.BTheir culture is being lost.CThey live in poor conditions.DTheir population is increasing.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“with a greater population of Basques outside of the Basque country than in it”可知，大多数巴斯克人生活在国外。3What is the purpose of Basque organizations?ATo help Basques in need.BTo preserve Basque culture.CTo provide medical treatment for Basques.DTo support overseas Basque children for education.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“These organizations contribute to the continuation of Basque culture, language, and community, and encourage future generations to learn about their ethnic heritage”可知，这些巴斯克组织旨在保护、传承传统文化。4Whats nonBasque Americans attitude towards Basque dance?AThey show no interest in it.BThey find it difficult to learn.CThey are enthusiastic about it.DThey are concerned about its future.解析：选C细节理解题。根据末段中的“The dance performances of North American Basque organizations have developed the interest of nonBasque Americans”可知，其他美国人对巴斯克舞蹈很感兴趣。BSome 30,000 years ago, artists living in caves in Europe painted pictures of the animals around them: panthers (豹), rhinoceroses (犀牛), lions and other creatures now long extinct. The paintings were highly realistic, some of which even showed movement.The artwork, more than a thousand drawings, is considered the oldest group of human cave drawings ever discovered. They were well preserved for the cave was sealed for 23,000 years.On December 18, 1994, a group of French cave scientists were exploring caves in southern France. Jean Chauvet, who led the group, describes discovering the cave paintings.“Eliette was just walking behind me, and Christian behind. Eliette said she saw two marks made with red ochre. And at this very moment everything began. The drawings and everything linked to the parietal art (壁画).

Studies showed the drawings were created tens of thousands of years ago, before human history was written.The United Nations group UNESCO lists the cave as a World Heritage site. They think the drawings form a remarkable expression of early human artistic creation of grand excellence and variety.The Chauvet cave is named for the explorer who first entered it. Its environment and drawings are very fragile. So the cave is closed, and only people there for scientific purposes can go inside and see the artwork.However, French authorities wanted the public to see the cave and artwork, too. So they asked experts to create an exact copy of the cave, called Pont dArc Cavern. The copy cost $59 million to build, which opened in April 2015 in France.Pascal Terrasse, the president of the cavern, says everyone will be able to experience the thrill of looking at drawings made by the first humans in Europe.
