Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
(2025·山东齐鲁名校联考)
The world is full of more than 7,000 living languages.And we have a hard time hanging onto them:About one-fifth are endangered.So I was more than willing to give David J.Peterson more publicity(宣传)for what could be explained as his mad quest:He spends all day,every day dreaming up languages for TV shows,movies and video games.
When Peterson was an undergraduate student at UC Berkeley,he saw a flier(传单)advertising an Esperanto class.It was the first time he'd heard of such a thing as an invented language,but it wouldn't be the last.After years of learning in the class,Peterson became an inventor of languages.It's a job that's led him to a career in Hollywood.He's created languages in the film Bright and Doctor Strange and more recently,Dune.
The languages that made him famous were the ones he created for Game of Thrones,especially Dothraki.In 2009,the show's producers were looking for someone to come up with a language for the Dothraki people.So,Peterson spent the next few weeks putting together about 300 pages of material on Dothraki.He started with the speech sounds and then moved on to grammar,starting with nouns,“because they're simpler”.Verbs,then other parts of speech were next,followed by sentence structure and derivation(派生).Then he built the vocabulary.
What Peterson creates is called constructed language(conlang),which has existed for centuries,but the coming of the Internet created a true community of peers.Most fascinatingly,Peterson theorizes how a larger conlang community could help humanity expand its understanding of the potential for written and spoken communication.Doing so might just assist us in the event Earth makes contact with an alien species.“Someday in the future we may encounter aliens,and they may have a communication system that doesn't even qualify as a language to us,”he says.“But the more we've seen,the more we know about,the more we suppose,the better we are going to be able to deal with something like that.”
