A
Bogre Udell,who speaks four languages,
met Frederico Andrade,who speaks five,at the
Parsons New School in New York City.In 2014,
they started a project to make the first public
records of every language in the world.They've
already recorded more than 350 languages,and
plan to hit 1,000 in the coming years.
"When humans lose a language,we also lose
greater diversity(多样化)in art and traditions,.”
said Bogre Udell.Between 1950 and 2010,230
languages disappeared.Today,a third of the
world's languages have fewer than 1,000
speakers left.Every two weeks a language dies
with its last speaker,and 50 to 90 percent of
them are said to disappear by the next century.
Wikitongues(维基语言)has asked for
volunteers in 40 countries to film native speakers
talking in the past,present,and future tenses of
their mother languages.Native speakers are
asked to recall childhood,share their stories,
and discuss their hopes and goals.One volunteer
in the South Pacific islands of Vanuatu recorded a
language that had never been studied by language
experts before.Another volunteer found a
speaker of Ainu,a language in Japan that has no
relation to any other known languages,and he
also recorded it.However,priceless recording
opportunities disappear regularly.Not long ago,
one of the last two speakers of a Saami language
in the Russian steppes died right before his
recording session with Wikitongues.
5
A lack of protection and globalisation are
responsible for reducing language diversity.For
much of the 20th century,governments across
the world forced some local people to use official
languages.More than 100 languages in Australia
have disappeared since European settlers arrived.
However,most languages die today because of
other factors:climate change and urbanisation
(城市化)lead greatly to the disappearance of
languages.
1.What do Bogre Udell and Frederico Andrade
want to do together?
[A]Test people's language levels.
[B]Offer language courses to people.
[c]Find out the reasons for language loss.
[D]Record all the languages in the world.
2.What does the author point out in
Paragraph 2?
[A]Language loss is becoming very serious.
[B]Few people are worried about language loss.
[c]Language loss makes it difficult for people
to communicate,
[D]Some countries fail to slow down the
process of language loss.
3.How do volunteers help protect languages?
[A]By writing down native speakers'stories.
[B]By learning languages from native
speakers.
[c]By improving the living conditions of native
speakers.
[D]By videoing native speakers talking in their
languages.

4.What would be the best title for the text?
[A]The Birth of Languages
[B]The History of Languages
[c]The Disappearance of Languages
[D]The Diversity of Languages
B
Part of the reason that English has grown as
a world language is that it easily adjusts to
change.However,this means that what one was
taught as a child in school may be out of date
many years later.When words or phrases
change,it can make speakers feel“wrong”
because they were taught that something else
was“right”.
One example of this is a term connected to
school itself.Today,it is common for people to
say that they"graduated high school or college".
The word“graduate”has two common
meanings.One is to mark off a number of things
in order.The other meaning is closely related.
As you move through school,you cross off
achievements in order:grade school,middle
school,high school,and college.So,in a way,
school itself is“graduated”.

So,when people used to speak of getting a
degree,they said they "graduated from college".
“To graduate college'”would have meant to mark
it off by year-the first year,the second year,
etc.Similarly,"to graduate to college"would
have meant to complete high school and move up
to the next level.
But as happens often in English,when
people understand your meaning,smaller words
can disappear."I graduated college"is now easy
to say.This may distress people who were
taught that you had to use“from”to be correct..
But this is not the first time this phrase has been
simplified.It used to be that you said "I was
graduated from college"instead of "I graduated
from college'”.
You can't know what English will keep and
what it will lose.Who could imagine that we
would still say we“dial”a phone number when
we now push buttons on our cell phone?Yet we
know what it means.
5.What do we know about the word“graduate'”?
[A]It has two similar meanings.
[B]There was a change in its meanings.
[e]It had nothing to do with school at first.
[D]It got an extra meaning during its development.
59
6.Which of the following is the newest usage of
“graduate”?
[A]I was graduated from college.
[B]I was to graduate to college.
[c]I graduated from college.
[D]I graduated college.
7.What does the underlined word“distress”
probably mean?
[A]Change.
[B]Correct.
[c]Worry.
[D]Hurt.
8.What's the best title for the text?
[A]Right or Wrong?
[B]Words Come and Go in English
[cl English Is a Very Acceptable Language
[D]How Should English Be Taught in School?
V.七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Do you want to find out how you can learn a
new language quickly?There are really no
secrets.You just need to be willing to work hard
and not be afraid to make mistakes.1
Connect with a native speaker.
The best way to learn a new language is to
speak it.Too often,people spend all of their
time studying grammar and memorizing lists of
words.2 You'll feel much more motivated
(积极的)about learning the language than
staring at a book or computer screen.
3
People often have claimed to have studied a
language "for five years"and still not be fluent.
But when they say five years,they probably
mean that they studied the language for only a
couple of hours a week over that entire time
period.Let's get one thing clear:if you want to
■
learn a new language successfully,you're going
to have to study the language every day.
Carry a dictionary at all times.
Carrying a dictionary with you will save you
a lot of time.4 It can be an actual,physical
dictionary,or a dictionary app on your phone-
you just need to be able to consult it quickly
whenever you need a word.
Watch,listen,read and write in your chosen
language.
Possibly the easiest thing you can do is
watch television shows or movies in the language
you are trying to learn.You should also attempt
to read and write in your new language.Besides,
download podcasts(播客)or tunes into radio
stations in your new language.5 You can
try to repeat or retell a sentence,a paragraph or
the whole text in your own language.
A.Learn the language daily.
B.So get one as soon as possible!
C.The following tips may help you.
D.Speaking with a real,live person will
help you.
E.Reading is of great importance in language
learning.
F.A big dictionary may be inconvenient for you
to use at any time.
G.This is a great way to bury yourself in the
language while you're on the go.

■Paragraph 2:
1.Tommy was extremely happy.He couldn't stop smiling and
it was the happiest day in his life.
2.He saw his pictures that he had drawn as a child still hanging
on the wall.
任务四
【参考范文】
One day several weeks later,Tommy heard someone knock
on the door.His mom opened the door,and a fireman walked
in."Is Tommy home?"The fireman said that he heard today
was Tommy's birthday and he came here to give Tommy a
special birthday gift.Hearing what the fireman said,Tommy
cried excitedly.The fireman greeted Tommy with a smile and
said he wanted to take Tommy for a drive.Reading his
confusion,the fireman smiled again and told Tommy he would
understand what would happen next.
After a while,Tommy found that he was in a fire station.
He was surrounded by firemen!“Tommy,”one of them said.
"I'm captain Jack,and I am here to make you a deputy!"
Tommy was glad!He couldn't stop smiling,and he was even
happier when he went for a ride in the big fire truck!It was the
happiest day in Tommy's life.Many years later,he returned to
the fire station-this time as a fireman-and he saw his pictures
still hanging on the wall.He'd made it!He'd become a hero!
