(A) As more and more people speak the global languages of English,Chinese,Spanish,and Arabic. otber languages are rapidly disappearing.In fact,half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century,according to the United Nations Educational. Scientific,and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). In an effort to prevent language loss,scbolars from a number of organizations-UNESCO and National Geographic among them-bave for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect. Mark Turin,a scientist at the Macmillan Center,Yale University,who specializes in the anguages and oral traditions of the Himalayas,is following in that tradition.His recently published book,A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture,grows out of his experiencc living,looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal. Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin.who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India,Nepal,Bhutan. and China.But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record. At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials-including photographs,films,tape recordings,and field notes-which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of carc and protection. Now,through the two organizations that he has founded-the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project-Turin has started a campaign to make such documents.found in libraries and stores around the world,available not just to scholars but to the youngers. Geucrations of comnunities from whom the materials were originally collected.Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet,Turin notes,the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities. 56.Many scholars are making efforts to A.promote global language B.rescue disappearing languages C.search for language conmunities D.set up language research organizations 57.What does"that tradition"in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Write,sell and donate. B.Record,repair and reward. C.Design,experiment and report. D.Collect,protect and reconnect. (B) Like many inventions,language translators were imagined by writers long before they became rcal.In Hugo Gemnsback's 1911 novel A Romance of the Year 2660,charactcrs use a video telephone that can translate form one language to another.A language translator also appears in Murray Leinster's 1945 First Contact.In that story,humans and crearures from another plane construct a translation device together after making first contact with one another.The idea of the language translator didn't become truly popular.bowever.until the "universal translator"appeared in the Star Trek serics,which delighted television viewers-in the 1970s.That device was universal in the sense that it could translate any langunge that it encountered. The first real languago tronslator was demonstrated by engincers from the IBM company and Georgctown Universitv in 1954.Their-machine could only translate Russian sentences into English. Language.trmslators have come a Tong way sice then.Today.online translations can be accessed casily at no cost to users.With trmnslation apps like Google-Translate or iTranslate.users somctimes don't even have to look things up.All they need to do is point their cellphone's camera at some writing.and a translation instantly appears.If users want to translate something being said aloud.they just tum on their phone's microphone.All these features save time and effort Translation apps make forcign travel much easicr than before.They are invaluable when it comes to communicating with taxi drivers or hotel staff who don't speak a traveler's native language. But these apps are far from perfect.Somctimes a tanslation makes no seuse,forcing the user to guess what the translation means.At other times,the uscr might not know that the translation has failed until be or she shows it to native spcaker. 60.What does the article imply about language translators?
