Unit 5 Languages Around the World世界各地的语言
单元阅读精练
单元主题:多元语言的发展、传承与文化价值,聚焦全球语言演变、语言文化融合、
母语保护与跨文化交流
主题一、外刊精读原文
Languages are the most powerful carriers of human culture and civilization. Throughout human history, thousands of languages have emerged, evolved and vanished with the migration and development of human societies. At present, there are more than 7,000 living languages around the world, but nearly half of them are facing the risk of extinction. Dominant global languages, such as English, Spanish and Mandarin, play a vital role in international communication, trade cooperation and cultural exchange.
The diversity of languages is a precious treasure of humanity. Each language carries unique historical memories, traditional customs and ways of thinking of a nation or a region. Different languages shape diverse cultural landscapes, enrich human civilization and promote mutual understanding between different ethnic groups. However, with the acceleration of globalization, minority languages are gradually marginalized. Many young people tend to master mainstream international languages while ignoring the inheritance of their native dialects and ethnic languages.
Protecting linguistic diversity has become a global consensus. Governments and cultural organizations worldwide have taken active measures to preserve endangered languages. They record ancient languages, compile language materials and carry out language popularization education. Balancing the learning of global mainstream languages and the protection of local native languages helps maintain cultural diversity, realize cross-cultural communication and pass on precious human cultural heritage from generation to generation.
中文译文
语言是人类文化与文明最强大的载体。纵观人类历史,数千种语言随着人类社会的迁徙与发展不断诞生、演变、消亡。目前,全球现存七千多种活语言,但其中近半数面临消亡风险。英语、西班牙语、汉语普通话等全球主流语言,在国际交流、贸易合作与文化互通中发挥着至关重要的作用。
语言多样性是人类珍贵的财富。每一种语言都承载着一个民族、一个地域独特的历史记忆、传统习俗与思维方式。多元语言造就了丰富的文化图景,丰富了人类文明体系,推动了不同族群之间的相互理解。但随着全球化进程加快,小众语言逐渐被边缘化。许多年轻人热衷于学习主流国际语言,却忽视了本地方言与民族语言的传承。
保护语言多样性已成为全球共识。世界各国政府与文化机构纷纷采取积极举措,守护濒危语言。通过记录古老语言、编纂语言资料、开展语言普及教育等方式留存语言火种。平衡主流通用语言学习与本土母语保护,既能维系文化多样性、实现跨文化顺畅交流,也能让珍贵的人类文化遗产代代相传。

English is the most widely used global language in the world today. It is spoken as a native language by over 400 million people and serves as an official language in more than 50 countries. Its status as a global lingua franca(通用语)did not come by accident, but is the result of historical development and social progress.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, British colonial expansion promoted the spread of English across Europe, America, Africa and Oceania. Later, the rapid economic development and technological innovation of the United States further consolidated the global position of English. With the rise of international trade, global tourism and cross-border cooperation, English has gradually become the preferred language for international communication, academic exchange and business cooperation.
Nowadays, the Internet accelerates the global popularity of English. Most international websites, academic papers and digital resources are published in English.

China is widely known for its ancient civilization which has continued all the way through into modern times, despite the many ups and downs in its history. One of the most important factors supporting the continuous inheritance of Chinese civilization is the unique Chinese writing system.

It connects the past and the present, allowing modern people to understand ancient classics and traditional culture.

Passage 03
Many local dialects in China are facing the risk of extinction with the popularity of Mandarin and global languages. To protect these precious linguistic treasures, a group of college student volunteers have launched a dialect inheritance project in rural areas.
Li Jia, a sophomore majoring in Chinese language and literature, is one of the core volunteers. Every summer vacation, she and her teammates go to remote mountain villages to record local dialects. They interview elderly villagers who can speak pure local dialects, record daily dialogues and traditional folk stories in dialect, and sort out dialect vocabulary and pronunciation rules in detail. Many elderly villagers are willing to cooperate, hoping that their local dialect can be passed down to younger generations.
The volunteers not only record dialect materials, but also carry out dialect popularization activities. They hold small lectures for rural children, teach them dialect nursery rhymes and traditional sayings, and share the cultural stories behind dialects. Their efforts have achieved remarkable results. More local teenagers begin to pay attention to their native dialects and take the initiative to learn and inherit them.

Passage 04
In the era of globalization, cross-cultural communication has become an indispensable part of people’s life and work. Bilingual education, which enables students to master both their native language and a foreign language, has gained wide popularity in youth education. Bilingual learning brings numerous benefits to teenagers’ growth and ability improvement.
Firstly, bilingual learning improves students’ cross-cultural understanding. Different languages reflect different cultural values, thinking modes and social customs. Learning a foreign language allows teenagers to break through the limitations of single cultural perspective, understand diverse cultures, and respect cultural differences.
Secondly, it enhances students’ communication and thinking abilities. Switching between two languages exercises logical thinking and flexible expression skills. Bilingual learners are better at analyzing problems from multiple perspectives and communicating with people from different cultural backgrounds.
Finally, bilingual competence improves teenagers’ comprehensive competitiveness. In international study, work and communication scenarios, bilingual talents have obvious advantages. Proper bilingual education balances native language inheritance and foreign language learning, realizing the integration of cultural inheritance and international vision expansion.

B. The Popularity of Bilingual Education
C. Benefits of Bilingual Learning for Teenagers
D. Ways to Master Two Languages Quickly
Passage 05
With the rapid development of the Internet and social media, online languages have become a new linguistic phenomenon among young people. Short abbreviations, trendy slang and creative network expressions are widely used in daily online communication, bringing new vitality to modern language development.
Online languages have both positive and negative influences on traditional languages. On the positive side, they enrich language expression forms, make communication more concise and vivid, and reflect the innovative thinking of young people. They also keep languages close to the times and promote the dynamic development of modern languages.
However, excessive use of irregular online languages also causes problems. Many network expressions lack standard grammar and formal logic. Some teenagers rely too much on casual online language, leading to non-standard written expression and weak language foundation. Long-term abuse of online slang may even affect their mastery of standard native language.
Therefore, we should treat online languages rationally. We can accept positive and innovative network expressions, but we must stick to standard language use in study, work and formal occasions. Balancing the use of online languages and standard languages helps maintain the standardization and vitality of language development.
1. What is the feature of online languages?
A. Formal and standard.
B. Trendy and innovative.
C. Old and traditional.
D. Complex and difficult.
2. What is the positive effect of online languages?
A. They enrich language expression forms.
B. They make formal writing simpler.
C. They replace traditional languages.
D. They standardize grammar rules.
3. What problem may excessive use of online languages cause?
A. More creative thinking.
B. Non-standard language expression.
C. Faster communication speed.
D. Richer language foundation.
4. What is the author’s attitude towards online languages?
A. Fully supportive. B. Totally negative. C. Rational. D. Doubtful.

Unit 5 Languages Around the World世界各地的语言
单元阅读精练
单元主题:多元语言的发展、传承与文化价值,聚焦全球语言演变、语言文化融合、
母语保护与跨文化交流
主题一、外刊精读原文
Languages are the most powerful carriers of human culture and civilization. Throughout human history, thousands of languages have emerged, evolved and vanished with the migration and development of human societies. At present, there are more than 7,000 living languages around the world, but nearly half of them are facing the risk of extinction. Dominant global languages, such as English, Spanish and Mandarin, play a vital role in international communication, trade cooperation and cultural exchange.
The diversity of languages is a precious treasure of humanity. Each language carries unique historical memories, traditional customs and ways of thinking of a nation or a region. Different languages shape diverse cultural landscapes, enrich human civilization and promote mutual understanding between different ethnic groups. However, with the acceleration of globalization, minority languages are gradually marginalized. Many young people tend to master mainstream international languages while ignoring the inheritance of their native dialects and ethnic languages.
Protecting linguistic diversity has become a global consensus. Governments and cultural organizations worldwide have taken active measures to preserve endangered languages. They record ancient languages, compile language materials and carry out language popularization education. Balancing the learning of global mainstream languages and the protection of local native languages helps maintain cultural diversity, realize cross-cultural communication and pass on precious human cultural heritage from generation to generation.
中文译文
语言是人类文化与文明最强大的载体。纵观人类历史,数千种语言随着人类社会的迁徙与发展不断诞生、演变、消亡。目前,全球现存七千多种活语言,但其中近半数面临消亡风险。英语、西班牙语、汉语普通话等全球主流语言,在国际交流、贸易合作与文化互通中发挥着至关重要的作用。
语言多样性是人类珍贵的财富。每一种语言都承载着一个民族、一个地域独特的历史记忆、传统习俗与思维方式。多元语言造就了丰富的文化图景,丰富了人类文明体系,推动了不同族群之间的相互理解。但随着全球化进程加快,小众语言逐渐被边缘化。许多年轻人热衷于学习主流国际语言,却忽视了本地方言与民族语言的传承。
保护语言多样性已成为全球共识。世界各国政府与文化机构纷纷采取积极举措,守护濒危语言。通过记录古老语言、编纂语言资料、开展语言普及教育等方式留存语言火种。平衡主流通用语言学习与本土母语保护,既能维系文化多样性、实现跨文化顺畅交流,也能让珍贵的人类文化遗产代代相传。

China is widely known for its ancient civilization which has continued all the way through into modern times, despite the many ups and downs in its history. One of the most important factors supporting the continuous inheritance of Chinese civilization is the unique Chinese writing system.

Passage 04
In the era of globalization, cross-cultural communication has become an indispensable part of people’s life and work. Bilingual education, which enables students to master both their native language and a foreign language, has gained wide popularity in youth education. Bilingual learning brings numerous benefits to teenagers’ growth and ability improvement.

Learning a foreign language allows teenagers to break through the limitations of single cultural perspective, understand diverse cultures, and respect cultural differences.
Secondly, it enhances students’ communication and thinking abilities. Switching between two languages exercises logical thinking and flexible expression skills. Bilingual learners are better at analyzing problems from multiple perspectives and communicating with people from different cultural backgrounds.
Finally, bilingual competence improves teenagers’ comprehensive competitiveness. In international study, work and communication scenarios, bilingual talents have obvious advantages. Proper bilingual education balances native language inheritance and foreign language learning, realizing the integration of cultural inheritance and international vision expansion.

Passage 05
With the rapid development of the Internet and social media, online languages have become a new linguistic phenomenon among young people. Short abbreviations, trendy slang and creative network expressions are widely used in daily online communication, bringing new vitality to modern language development.
Online languages have both positive and negative influences on traditional languages. On the positive side, they enrich language expression forms, make communication more concise and vivid, and reflect the innovative thinking of young people. They also keep languages close to the times and promote the dynamic development of modern languages.
However, excessive use of irregular online languages also causes problems. Many network expressions lack standard grammar and formal logic. Some teenagers rely too much on casual online language, leading to non-standard written expression and weak language foundation. Long-term abuse of online slang may even affect their mastery of standard native language.
Therefore, we should treat online languages rationally. We can accept positive and innovative network expressions, but we must stick to standard language use in study, work and formal occasions. Balancing the use of online languages and standard languages helps maintain the standardization and vitality of language development.
1. What is the feature of online languages?
A. Formal and standard.
B. Trendy and innovative.
C. Old and traditional.
D. Complex and difficult.
2. What is the positive effect of online languages?
A. They enrich language expression forms.
B. They make formal writing simpler.
C. They replace traditional languages.
D. They standardize grammar rules.
3. What problem may excessive use of online languages cause?
A. More creative thinking.
B. Non-standard language expression.
C. Faster communication speed.
D. Richer language foundation.
4. What is the author’s attitude towards online languages?
A. Fully supportive. B. Totally negative. C. Rational. D. Doubtful.
