2743．Worried about the loss of rainforests and the ozone layer？Well，neither of those is doing any worse than a large majority of the 6，000 to 7，000 languages that remain in use on Earth.One half of the survivors will almost certainly be gone by 2050，while 40% more will probably be well on their way out.In their place，almost all humans will speak a small number of languages——Mandarin，English，Spanish.
Linguists（語言學(xué)家）know what causes languages to disappear，but what's less often remarked is what happens on the way to disappearance：languages' vocabularies，grammars and expressive potential all disappear. "Say a community goes over from speaking a traditional Aboriginal（土著的）language to speaking a Creole，" says Australian Nick Evans，a language experts， "you leave behind a language where there's very fine vocabulary for the landscape.All of that is gone in a Creole.As speakers become less able to express the wealth of knowledge that has filled ancestors' lives with meaning over thousands of years，it's no wonder that communities tend to become weakened."
Due to the huge losses，some linguists struggle against the situation，for example，training many documentary linguists in language-loss hotspots such as West Africa and South America.
However，not all approaches to the preservation of languages will be particularly helpful.Some linguists are boasting（自夸）of more and more complicated means of recording languages：digital recording and storage，the Internet and mobile phone technologies.But these are encouraging the quick style of recording trip：fly in，switch on digital recorder，fly home，download to hard drive，and store gathered material for future research.That's not quite what some endangered-language experts have been seeking.Michael Krauss from the University of Alaska complained openly that linguists are playing with technology research while most of their raw data is disappearing.
Who is to blame？Linguists who go out into communities to study，document and describe languages，argue that theoretical linguists，like Noam Chomsky，who draw conclusions about how languages work，have had so much influence that linguistics has largely ignored the continuing disappearance of languages.

C．People tend to turn to ancestors more
D．Focus is switched on new grammars.
（3）What has Michael Krauss pointed out？
A．Digital age further promotes some endangered languages.
B．An instant approach to language recording may not work.
C．Linguists have made poor use of improvement in technology.
D．Linguists' quick style of recording trip should be encouraged.
（4）What can be concluded from the text？
A．By 2050 only 600 to 700 languages will remain.
B．Local languages are preserved perfectly in West Africa.
C．Theoretical linguists may be responsible for the loss of languages.
D．Linguists have come a long way to save endangered languages.發(fā)布：2024/11/26 8:0:26組卷：17引用：1難度：0.52744．Stephen Hawking has said he believes brains could exist independently of the body after people die，but that the idea of a conventional afterlife（傳統(tǒng)意義上的死后重生）is a fairy tale．Speaking at the premiere（首映）of a documentary film about his life，Stephen Hawking said： "I think the brain is like a program in the mind，which is like a computer，so it's theoretically possible to copy the brain onto a computer and so provide a form of life after death．"
"However，this is way beyond our present scientific and technological level．I think the conventional afterlife is a fairy tale for people afraid of the dark．" The author of "A Brief History of Time"，who earlier approved of the right for the deadly ill to end their lives as long as safeguards were in place，suffered from motor neurone（運(yùn)動(dòng)神經(jīng)元）disease at the age of 21 and was given two to three years to live．
"All my life 1 have lived with the menace of an early death，so I hate wasting time，" Hawking said on Thursday night，using the computer-created voice he controls with a facial muscle and a blink（眨眼）from one eye．The documentary explores a brilliant schoolboy with unclear handwriting who enjoyed the life of Oxford University before illness led to a lifelong desire of discovery about the origins of the universe，which began as a graduate at Cambridge University and has shocked the world．
Hawking's sister Mary says in the film that her brother was highly competitive and curious about everything in a household which friends described as very academic，and explains how she received a toy house as a present when they were children，to which Stephen immediately added electricity．
She said that life with her brother was attractive and exciting． "It's a waste of time arguing with Stephen because he always manages to turn the argument round，" she said．The film goes back to his childhood and his student days and shows the scientist，who uses a wheelchair，at home with break It also explores his family life with his first wife，Jane，and their three children，the breakdown of their marriage and his marriage to one of his carers．
Jane appears on camera to explain how the pressures of caring for the children and the increasingly disabled Hawking became even worse once full-time nurses were brought into the home，destroying any privacy（隱私）．His second wife and former nurse，Elaine Mason，does not appear in the film，and Hawking introduces their 1995-2007 marriage with a few pictures and a brief description．

A．People can become alive again after they die．

（2）To the will of incurable patients to end their lives．Hawking．
A．is conditionally agreeable
B．holds a negative attitude
C．shows his deep concern

（3）According to Mary，when they were children．
A．Hawking gave her a toy house with electricity
B．they never argued with each other

（4）It can be inferred that．
A．Hawking now has to use his wheelchair wherever he goes

發(fā)布：2024/11/26 8:0:2組卷：2引用：1難度：0.92746．IF you think tapping （踢踏） your feet three times a second is difficult，how about doing it 600 times in a minute？It's almost impossible．
But for the tap dancers in Christmas Dancing Shoes，it's no problem．The show，by the Chicago Human Rhythm Project，is one of the best in the world．It ran from December 21-23 in Beijing．
In the two hour-long show，the dancer showed off four different styles of tap dancing in a variety of settings．There was dancing in the classroom with desks and chairs，dancing on railway station platforms （站臺(tái)），even mom and dad dancing in the living room!
As with other kinds of dance，there's a right way and wrong way to do it．But each dancer adds his or her own personal ideas on things．It's this that makes it so attractive to young people．
"Dancing is so relaxing，"says dancer Doerr Mary，15，a high school girl from Texas．"You can move around just as you like．"
Every other week she flies to North Carolina just to train．"I've been tap dancing since I was two and a half years old，"she says．"I've found I just can't stop dancing．Even when I'm sitting down，I'm tapping．My mom sometimes gets angry，"she laughs．Mary says she finds tap dancing is a good way of expressing herself．It's like，she says，"talking to my feet．"
Mary says tap dancing has changed her life．She used to be shy，but not any more．"Knowing that I can dance in front of such a large group of people is a real confidence-booster （信心增強(qiáng)劑）．"
（1）The tap dancers in Christmas Dancing Shoes can tap their feet．
（2）According to the writer，the dancers dancedA．three times a second B．600 times in a second C．ten times a second D．Not mentioned in Beijing．
（3）Which of the following sentences is true？A．different styles of dancing B．in four kinds of settings C．in just three situations D．four kinds of the dance
A．Dancers have to dance entirely under the rules．
B．Dancers can show their own personality in a certain way．
C．Dancers can dance completely freely as they please．
D．Dancers can dance the tap dance with no training．
（4）Tap dance makes Doerr Mary．A．two and a half years old B．get angry easily C．a(chǎn) girl of self-confidence D．nothing different． 發(fā)布：2024/11/26 8:0:2組卷：1引用：1難度：0.72747．Stephen Hawking has said he believes brains could exist independently of the body after people die，but that the idea of a conventional afterlife（傳統(tǒng)意義上的死后重生）is a fairy tale．Speaking at the premiere（首映）of a documentary film about his life，Stephen Hawking said： "I think the brain is like a program in the mind，which is like a computer，so it's theoretically possible to copy the brain onto a computer and so provide a form of life after death．"
