D.Bluemint Labs:The Answer to Touch-Free Interaction with Smart Devices 0 There are over 6,000 languages spoken in the world.But did you know that some of them are in danger of dying out?From Dusner(three speakers)to Kelabit(five thousand),these languages are spread all over the world,but they all have one thing in common:unless we act soon,they could become extinct(灭绝的). Researchers at Oxford University are studying these languages.And Dr.Johanneke Sytsema,who has organized a popular seminar (on endangered languages,thinks there could be a magic bullet for keeping minority (languages alive:social media."Social media could help save a language,"Dr.Sytsema says."Because young people text each other in the same way they speak, even if they don't know how to spell it." Minority languages are often at risk of being drowned out()by the louder voices of the bigger languages,which are spoken at school and in the media.But,with social media giving control to the users,the popularity of social media like TikTok might just have the opposite effect. Dr.Sytsema has first-hand experience:she speaks Frisian.Frisian,spoken in a province in the Netherlands called Friesland,has 350,000 speakers.Using her own language has given Dr.Sytsema food for thought about how languages could be saved in the future."In Friesland,young people who don't learn much Frisian writing at school send each other messages on social media in Frisian,"she says.In this way,a new generation of Frisian speakers keeps the language alive. According to Dr.Sytsema,our languages,like our wildlife,are natural creations."Natural beauty needs to be protected.Once languages die,you don't get them back,because they've grown over thousands and thousands of years,"Dr.Sytsema explains."Every language has its own beauty.And that's why it's so important." 29.Why does the author mention Dusner and Kelabit? A.To describe the richness of human language. B.To discuss the influence of language on culture. C.To explain the importance of cultural exchange. D.To show the serious situation of endangered languages. 30.What do the underlined words"a magic bullet"mean in paragraph 2? A.A challenging task. B.An effective solution. C.An open standard. D.A common goal. 31.What gave Dr.Sytsema the idea of language protection? A.Teaching at a language school.B.The popularity of Frisian on TikTok. 高一英语试题，第5页，共10页 C.Her personal experience with Frisian.D.Working with young people in Friesland. 32.What message does Dr.Sytsema want to give us in the last paragraph?

C.The extinction of languages can be avoided. 1，:4r D.The young hold the key to language protection. 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出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项， o Whether you're jumping in a pool to cool off or spending time at the beach,lake,or river, attention to detail helps keep the day safe.Here are five tips for a safer swimming experience.
