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.
1. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times
A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number.
C. They had similar patterns D. They were closely connected.
2. Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in Paragraph 2
A. Complex B. Advanced. C. Powerful D. Modern.
3. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present
A. About 6,800 B. About 3,400 C. About 2,400 D. About 1,200
4. What is the main idea of the text
A. New languages will be created.
B. People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C. Human development results in fewer languages.
D. Geography determines language evolution.
四、语法填空
The Rainbow Bookstore, which was a legendary fixture in the neighbourhood, ①_________(close) after 50 years of business. I had a long chat with Casey, the store's elderly owner. He said how it was becoming difficult ②_________ (run) an independent bookstore because more and more people were being attracted by chain stores and online discounts. And most young people preferred ③_________ (read) e-books on tablets.
Childhood memories came back to me so clearly, as if the events ④_________ (happen) only yesterday. As a young boy, I spent hours reading, ⑤_________ (seat) on the store's old, but comfortable furniture.
A few months later, I was back in the neighbourhood during my spring break vacation and was ⑥_________ (surprise) to see that the bookstore was still there and open for business. Its old brick exterior hadn't changed, but inside it was like ⑦_________ different world. I was told that a saleswoman, ⑧_________ had grown up in the neighbourhood, had taken over the bookstore from Casey. Under her leadership, the bookstore was being turned into a place for literature-loving members of the community to get together. It had a cafe selling organic food and there ⑨_________ (be) more community events.

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。
