共用题干The Day a Language Died
When Carlos Westez died at the age of 76,a language died,too.Westez,more commonly known as Red Thunder Cloud , was the last speaker of the Native American language , Catawba.Anyone who wants to hear various songs of the Catawba can contact the Smithsonian Institution in Washington,D.C.,where ,back in the 1940s,Red Thunder Cloud recorded a series of songs for future generations._______ (46)They are all that is left of the Catawba language.The language that people used to speak is gone forever.
We are all aware of the damage that modern industry can do to the world's ecology(生态).However,few people are aware of the impact that widely spoken languages have on other languages and ways of life.English has spread all over the world.Chinese,Spanish,Russian,and Hindi have become powerful languages,as well.______(47) When this happens,hundreds of languages that are spoken by only a few people die out.
Scholars believe there are about 6,000 languages around the world,but more than half of them could die out within the next 100 years.There are many examples.Araki is a native language of the island of Vanuatu ,located in the Pacific Ocean.It is spoken by only a few older adults , so like Catawba , Araki will soon disappear.Many languages of Ethiopia will have the same fate because each one has only a few speakers.________ (48) In the Americas,100 languages,each of which has fewer than 300 speakers,also are dying out.Red Thunder Cloud was one of the first to recognize the threat of language death and to try to do something about it.He was not actually born into the Catawba tribe , and the language was not his mother tongue._______(49) The songs he sang for the Smithsonian Institution helped to make Native American music popular.Now he is gone and the language is dead.
What does it mean when a language disappears? When a plant or insect or animal species dies , it is easy to understand what we ' ve lost and to appreciate what this means for the balance of the natural world.However , language is only a product of the mind.To be the last remaining speaker of a language , like Red Thunder Cloud , must be a lonely destiny , almost as strange and terrible as being the last surviving member of a dying species._________(50)
选项
________(46)A:Some people might want to try to learn some of these songs by heart.B:Papua New Guinea is an extremely rich source of different languages , but more than 100 of them are in,danger of extinction(灭绝).C:However , he was a frequent visitor to the Catawba reservation in South Carolina , where he learned the language.D:These languages don ' t have many native speakers.E:For the rest of us,when a language dies , we lose the possibility of a unique way of seeing and describing the world.F:As these languages become more powerful , their use as tools of business and culture increases.
答案
A
解析
前一句的意思是,任何想听Catawba的歌曲的人只能听Red Thunder Cloud为后代录制的歌。选项中只有A项(有人或许会想要用心学会几首歌曲)与之联系最紧密。故选A。 前几句的意思是,一种语言被广泛应用时,它会影响其他语言和人们的生活方式。选项中只有F项(当语言被广泛应用时,它们在商业和文化中的作用也会更大)与之联系最紧密,故选F。 前后句子都举例说明许多语言濒临灭绝是因为说该种语言的人很少。选项中只有E 项(Papua New Guinea有100多种语言濒临灭绝)与之联系紧密。故选B。 前一句提到,Red Thunder Cloud并不是Catawba部落的人,后面一句提到他会唱Cataw-ba的歌曲,由此我们推断出,空格处表示的意思应是Red Thunder Cloud曾经去过Catawba并学习了当地语言。故选C。 前几句表明了一种语言的消失对说这种语言的人的影响,选项中只有E项(一种语言的消失有可能使人们失去一种看待世界的独特方法)与之联系最紧密。故选E。
