6、 When the world was still populated by huntergatherers,small,tightly knit(联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12, 000 languages between
7、them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nationstate and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalis
8、ation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English,Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The gen
9、eral rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alon
10、e accounts for well over 800.The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6, 800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at rando
11、m, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a questionmark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了全球语言多样性的发展变化以及现在所面临的危机。1What can we infer about languages
12、 in huntergatherer times?AThey developed very fast.BThey were large in number.CThey had similar patterns.DThey were closely connected.答案与解析:B推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句“Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages b
13、etween them”可知,在狩猎时代,人口少,语言却很丰富,故选B。【干扰项分析】根据第一段第二句“When the world was still populated by hunter gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other”可知,在狩猎时代,小的紧密联系的群体发展了各自独立的语言,故C、D项错误;根据第一段的内容可知,文中未提及狩猎时代语言的发展速度,可排除A项。2Which of the following b
14、est explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?AComplex. BAdvanced.CPowerful. DModern.答案与解析:C词义猜测题。此题可从画线词后面的举例“such as English,Spanish and Chinese”着手,英语、西班牙语和汉语都是目前世界上几大语言之一,这几门语言的影响力是很大的;由此猜测,dominant与选项中的powerful最为接近。complex“复杂的”;advanced“高级的,先进的”;powerful“有影响力的”;modern“现代的”。故选C。3How many lang
15、uages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?AAbout 6,800. BAbout 3,400.CAbout 2,400. DAbout 1,200.答案与解析:B推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句“The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that”可知,目前全球不同语言使用人数的中位数仅是6 000,这就意味着世界上
16、有一半的语言的使用人数不到6 000;结合第三段第一句“At present,the world has about 6,800 languages”可知,选B。4What is the main idea of the text?ANew languages will be created.BPeoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.CHuman development results in fewer languages.DGeography determines language evolution.答案与解析:C主旨大意题。根据第一段第
17、一句中的“but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going”和第二段可知,随着人类社会的发展,尤其是工业化、全球化以来,很多语言已经消失,即人类的发展使得语言的种类越来越少。故选C。.完形填空There was a king who loved art very much.
