高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

There are about 6，500 languages spoken throughout the world，but about half of them are in danger of disappearing.

One of the primary causes driving language loss is that support for language communities drastically varies.While some languages are recognized by governments and taught in schools，the majority go unrecognized，unsupported，and untaught，leaving communities ill-equipped to pass their languages on to future generations.Tsakonian，a“dialect(方言)”in Greece，has declined to the point that only 100 speakers remain.

When a language disappears，many other things can go away as well.For example，parts of a community’s culture，knowledge and identity can also be lost.

One organization seeking to save world languages is Wikitongues，which was founded as a school project by Daniel Bogre Udell in 2012，when he began recording short oral histories in New York to explore the city’s rich cultural diversity with the simple idea:tell me about yourself or your home in your native language.When he posted the videos online，the channel quickly got wide attention.

There are currently over 400 languages and dialects represented on Wikitongues’channel and more than 1，500 people from 70 different countries have added videos to it.But that’s far from enough.The organization seeks to serve as an Internet resource to keep as many languages as possible alive.Udell believes they can make it happen.“There are many examples of languages that disappeared but later returned to use.Hebrew went extinct in the 4th century BC，and was revived(恢复)in the 1800s.Now once again，it's the mother tongue of half of the world’s Jewish population，”said Udell.

1.What can be inferred about Tsakonian in Greece?

A. It’s hard to speak and understand.

B. It will definitely die out in the future.

C. It’s not allowed to speak in Greece.

D. It lacks recognition and support.

2.What effect may be brought by the extinction of languages?

A. Harming future generations. B. Reducing cultural diversity.

C. Preventing daily communication. D. Changing school projects.

3.What’s the purpose of Wikitongues?

A. To support people in saving their languages.

B. To revive languages that have disappeared.

C. To record enough short oral histories.

D. To explore the world’s rich cultures.

4.What does Udell want to tell us by giving Hebrew as an example in the last paragraph?

A. All extinct languages will be brought back to life.

B. It’s possible to prevent languages from dying out.

C. More languages will be presented on Wikitongues’channel.

D. Hebrew has become one of the most popular languages in the world.

There are a number of languages spoken throughout the world. Every person knows at least one language, which he learns in his childhood and is routinely used for speaking and writing. However, many people are fond of learning two or more languages, so they try to be bilingual, which means that they try to have the knowledge of two or more languages. And being bilingual can bring a person a number of benefits in various aspects. For example:

A person can get cognitive(认知的) benefits from it. The bilingual people have two or more words for each idea and object. Therefore, a bilingual person can develop a creative thinking. The bilinguals are aware of which language should be spoken with which person in a particular situation. So they are more sensitive(敏感的) to the needs of the listener than the people who only use one language: Being bilingual also improves and enriches a person's mental development.

Being bilingual has a positive effect on a person's character. The bilinguals are able to switch between different languages and talk to different people in various languages. It increases a sense of self-esteem( 自尊). Being bilingual creates a powerful link in different people from different countries.

A bilingual education offers better curriculum(课程) results. The bilinguals tend to show a higher performance in examinations and tests. The bilinguals find it quite easy to learn and speak three, four or more languages.

Being bilingual offers potential employment benefits. It offers a wider choice of jobs in various fields. The bilinguals can get a great many career opportunities in transport, tourism, public relations, marketing and sales, banking, translation, law, teaching and so on.

So it can be concluded from the above that we should try our best to learn and master two or more languages.

Title: 71.__________ of being bilingual
