So our storytellers have come from distant lands to connect us with the distance of time,” he said early this month.Two Inuit women, both in their mid 60s, are among the few remaining who can do Kntadjait, or throat singing, which has few words and much sound. Their art is governed by the cold of their surroundings, forcing them to say little but listen attentively.Ambrose started the festival in 1993, after several years of working with those reviving (coming back into use or existence) storytelling in Wales.“It came out of a group of people who wanted to reconnect with traditions Page: 3and as all the Welsh are storytellers, it was in good hands here.”Ambrose said.19.Ambrose believes that the art of storytelling _.A. will be more popular than TVB. will be popular againC. started in WalesD. are in the hands of some old people20.From the tales told by the Inuit, people can learn _.A. about their life as early as thousands of years agoB. why they tell the stories in a throat signing wayC. how cold it has been where the Inuit liveD. how difficult it is to understand the Inuit21.According to the writer, which of the following is not true?A.

The flashes reflected light could be seen several miles away. The enemy did not know what the flashes meant, but other Greek soldiers could understand the messages. Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers. When they had a message to send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and enough soldiers with loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance. In Africa, people learnt to send messages by beating on a series of large drums. Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles. In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to sent short messages. In this way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet. It was like spelling out words with flags and arms. Over a long period of time, people sent messages by all these different ways. However, not until the telephone was invented in American in the nineteenth century could people send speech sounds over a great distance in just a few seconds.GrGGg 23.According to this passage, the Roman way of communication depended very much upon _.A. fine weatherB. high towerC. the spelling systemD. arm movements 24.Which of the following statements is true?A.

There are so many people living in Hawaii now that there are residential areas where there used to be farms.
