一、本文是议论文。文章主要介绍了母语的重要性,同时指出一些母语已经消失或正要消失。文章给出原因及解决方法并倡导大家拯救快要消失的母语。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart. (如果你用一个人听得懂的语言与他交谈,他会记在脑子里。如果你用一个人的母语和他交谈,你的话会进入他的心里。)”可知,此处用曼德拉的话强调母语的重要性,故选B项。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据画线部分前面的句子“Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozen people, like Yagan in Chile. (在过去的一个世纪里,400多种语言已经消失。有些语言现在只有几十个人使用,比如智利的亚甘语。)”可知,前文说了有些语言在消失,画线词所在句子中有also,所以imperiled也有“快消失”的意思,故选A项。
3.B 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Through efforts both large and small, they are getting people to speak and read in certain languages, and to pass them on. The United Nations has set Feb.21st as International Mother Language Day to raise awareness of dying languages.(通过大大小小的努力,它们正在让人们说和读某些语言,并将这些语言传承下去。联合国
