fundingtohelpschoolchildrenonLaGomeratolearnthisancientwhistlinglanguageaspartoftheirheritage.（加那利群岛政府正在提供资金，帮助拉戈梅拉学校的孩子们学习这种古老的口哨语言，作为他们遗产的一部分。）”可知，为了拯救SilboGomero，当地政府提供了财政援助。故选A项。4.写作意图题。根据第一段“SilboGomeroisanancientlanguageofwhistlethatenabledpeopletocommunicateacrosslongdistancesbeforetheinventionofthetelephoneorthecomputer.（SilboGomero是一种古老的口哨语言，在电话或计算机发明之前，它使人们能够进行远距离交流。）”以及文章内容可知，本文写作的目的是介绍LaGomera岛上濒临消亡的口哨语SilboGomero。故选D项。【答案】31.C32.A33.D34.G35.B【解析】本文是一篇说明文。本文作者针对如何提高闲聊能力，给出了自己的一些窍门。1.根据下文Herearesometipstoimproveyoursmall-talkingability.提到了提高你闲聊能力的一些窍门，所以上文会说“然而，一些人不擅长闲聊”，故选C。2.在it’seasytostartaconversation.捕捉到关键词startaconversation，可知这一段主要讲了开始谈话的一些具体内容，故选A。3.根据下文theconversationwillgoonlonger.提到了这次谈话
