48、respected language(当说话者试图学习一门更受尊重的语言时,这种情况经常发生)”以及“The gradual disappearance of Coptic as a spoken language in Egypt following the rise of Arabic in the 7th century is one example of this type of change.(7世纪阿拉伯语崛起后,作为埃及口语的科普特语逐渐消失,这就是这种变化的一个例子。)”可推断出,Coptic之所以消失是因为人们认为它不如Arabic更受尊重。故选B项。【15题详解】推理判断题
49、。根据最后一段中“Dedicated preservationists often bring languages back into use again as a matter of regional or ethnic identity.The most-famous example is Hebrew有奉献精神的语言保护主义者经常将语言重新投入使用,以体现地区或民族身份。最著名的例子是希伯来语。”可知,作者用希伯来语举例子是为了说明消失的语言有机会被重新使用。故选C项。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选山可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两
