Growing up in my household meant often hearing live music.When I was six years old, I took a traditional Irish step dance class.I fell in love and stuck with it for the next seven years.During that time my father also became more involved in the Irish music world, so he would play, and I would dance.My ethnic heritage is German and Irish, but because I was surrounded by traditional Irish music and dance in my home, I have grown to be more interested in and connected to my Irish heritage.

When I started interning (实习) for the Folklife Festival, I became interested in traditional Basque music and dance and I learned that their experience with dance is very similar to my own.

There are so far over 170 Basque organizations in 24 countries, with a greater population of Basques outside of the Basque country than in it.The separation they experience from their homeland is both physical and psychological, so being part of a group with the same interests is an important social support system.These organizations contribute to the continuation of Basque culture, language, and community, and encourage future generations to learn about their ethnic heritage.One of the ways they achieve this is through dance.

While learning and performing Basque dances, they connect to their heritage, experience a part of their homeland, preserve Basque culture, and create connections and friendships that last a lifetime.

Californian Valerie Arrechea began teaching alongside her father at the age of thirteen and on her own at sixteen.For her, dance is her preferred expression of heritage; 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.

Some 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). That's where it started.”

Cave art expert Jean Clottes reviewed the paintings. “I was amazed at the number of paintings there were and of their quality and particularly in front of the panel of the horses.”

Scientific analysis confirmed the prehistoric date of the artwork. 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 d'Arc 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. Authorities say they think as many as 400,000 people will visit the Pont d'Arc Cavern every year.

B．Eliette D．Chauvet

解析：选D 细节理解题。从第三段“Jean Chauvet, who led the group”、第四段的“Eliette was just walking behind me, and Christian behind”和倒数第三段的“The Chauvet cave is named for the explorer who first entered it”可知，第一个走进岩洞的人是Jean Chauvet。

7．Who can pay a visit to the Chauvet cave nowadays? A．People who do scientific researches. B．People who found the cave first. C．Officials protecting the environment. D．People from the United Nations.

解析：选A 细节理解题。从倒数第三段的“... and only people there for scientific purposes can go inside and see the artwork.”可知，现如今只有做科学研究的人才可以进肖维岩洞。故答案选A项。

8．The purpose of creating Pont d'Arc Cavern is to ________. A．arouse visitors' awareness of protecting relics B．show admiration to the earliest artists in Europe C．offer visitors chances to view the earliest drawings D．collect money for the perseverance of the Chauvet cave

解析：选C 推理判断题。从最后两段的内容可知，法国为了揭开肖维岩洞之谜，让更多人了解肖维岩洞并观赏到岩洞内的艺术画作，他们让专家们根据肖维岩洞原型创建了另外一个Pont d'Arc Cavern。故答案选C项。
