10、 loss of ABSL is regret. It is a fascinating language that has kept linguists busy since it came to their attention around 15 years ago. But for the deaf villagers,Israeli Sign Language is an upgrade:it allows them to speak to tens of thousands of people rather than a few hundred, and enables them t

16、es.CPeople feel ashamed of language extinction.DLanguage extinction is not necessarily a bad thing.【语篇解读】本文为说明文,主要介绍了在语言濒临灭绝的时候,人们的本能反应是感到惋惜,毕竟每一门语言都是文化和思想的体现,是观察世界的一种独特方式,每消失一种语言就会使人类知识的总量减少一点儿。然而,在有些情况下,我们可以以积极的态度看待语言的消亡。1B推理判断题。根据第二段可知,ABSL手语大约有1000人使用,并且由于以色列手语的传播,它似乎注定会灭亡,所以ABSL是濒危语言。故选B项。2C词义猜
17、测题。根据划线词后的内容可知,以色列手语让耳聋的村民们可以与更多的人交流,并且能够让他们在村子外面找到工作以及与外面的人联姻。即以色列手语比ABSL手语更能满足人们的需求;再结合后文提到的“anything other than progress”可推出划线词意为“改善”。故选C项。3B推理判断题。根据第四段可知,技术可以帮助复活濒危语言。故选B项。4D主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了人们可以从积极的一面去看待濒危语言。一方面濒危语言被能更好地服务于人们的语言代替,这是一种进步;另一方面科技也可以让某些濒危语言复活,因此人们对待语言灭绝的态度应当改变,因为它未必是件坏事。故选D项。阅读加油站cond
