三、阅读理解
Languages
have
been
coming
and
going
for
thousands
of
years,
but
in
recent
times
there
has
been
less
coming
and
a
lot
more
going.
When
the
world
was
still
populated
by
hunter-gatherers,
small,
tightly
knit(联系)
groups
developed
their
own
patterns
of
speech
independent
of
each
other.
Some
language
experts
believe
that
10,
000
years
ago,
when
the
world
had
just
five
to
ten
million
people,
they
spoke
perhaps
12,000
languages
between
them.
Soon
afterwards,
many
of
those
people
started
settling
down
to
become
farmers,
and
their
languages
too
became
more
settled
and
fewer
in
number.
In
recent
centuries,
trade,
industrialisation,
the
development
of
the
nation-state
and
the
spread
of
universal
compulsory
education,
especially
globalisation
and
better
communications
in
the
past
few
decades,
all
have
caused
many
languages
to
disappear,
and
dominant
languages
such
as
English,
Spanish
and
Chinese
are
increasingly
taking
over.
At
present,
the
world
has
about
6,
800
languages.
The
distribution
of
these
languages
is
hugely
uneven.
The
general
rule
is
that
mild
zones
have
relatively
few
languages,
often
spoken
by
many
people,
while
hot,
wet
zones
have
lots,
often
spoken
by
small
numbers.
Europe
has
only
around
200
languages;
the
Americas
about
1,000;
Africa
2,400;
and
Asia
and
the
Pacific
perhaps
3,200,
of
which
Papua
New
Guinea
alone
accounts
for
well
over
800.
The
median
number(中位数)
of
speakers
is
a
mere
6,000,
which
means
that
half
the
world's
languages
are
spoken
by
fewer
people
than
that.
Already
well
over
400
of
the
total
of
6,
800
languages
are
close
to
extinction(消亡),
with
only
a
few
elderly
speakers
left.
Pick,
at
random,
Busuu
in
Cameroon
(eight
remaining
speakers),
Chiapaneco
in
Mexico
(150),
Lipan
Apache
in
the
United
States
(two
or
three)
or
Wadjigu
in
Australia
(one,
with
a
question-mark):
none
of
these
seems
to
have
much
chance
of
survival.

developed
very
fast.
B.

were
large
in

C.
They

the

三、答案:1-4BCBC
解析:1.推理判断题。根据第一段中的"when
the
world
had
just
five
to
ten
million
people,
they
spoke
perhaps
12,000
languages
between
them"可知,当世界上的人口数量不到一千万时,语言种类达到了12000种。由此推知,当时的语言种类很多。故选B项。
2.词义猜测题。根据第二段中的"dominant
languages
such
as
English,
Spanish
and
Chinese
are
increasingly
taking
over"可知,英语、西班牙语和汉语逐渐占主导地位。由此推知dominant意为"占支配地位的"。故选C项。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段第一句和最后一句可知,目前世界上大约有6800种语言,但是讲的人数少于6000
的占一半,即3400。故选B项。
4.主旨大意题。根据第一段中的主题句"Languages
have
been
coming
and
going
for
thousands
of
years,
but
in
recent
times
there
has
been
less
coming
and
a
lot
more
going."可知,
语言的产生和消失进行了几千年,
但最近语言产生的少,
消失的太多。故选C项。
四、答案:was
closing;
to
run;
reading
;
had
happened
;
seated
;
surprised
;
a;
who;
were;
to
see
解析:①考查时态。根据后文内容可知,这家书店即将关停。此处为过去进行时,表示即将发生的动作。
②考查非谓语动词。此处it为形式主语,动词不定式作真正的主语。
③考查非谓语动词。根据前后语境可知年轻人更愿意读电子书。prefer
to
do强调特定的或某次具体的动作,即在一定的场合下宁愿做什么。prefer
doing强调一般性倾向,即对某种行为的偏爱。
④考查虚拟语气。根据语境可知,此处表示对过去的虚拟,故用过去完成时。
⑤考查非谓语动词。此处为(be)seated
on的搭配,意为“坐在……”,表示状态。
⑥考查形容词。此处surprised意为“惊讶的”,主语一般是人。
⑦考查冠词。此处为泛指,且后面的different以辅音音素开头,故填a。
⑧考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为a
saleswoman,指人,从句中缺少主语,故填who。
⑨考查时态和主谓一致。此处为there
be结构。根据前文可知为一般过去时。由后面的more
community
events可知,应填were。
⑩考查非谓语动词。此处为动词不定式作状语。
