二、阅读(共4小题;每小题5分,满分20分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A University of North Texas (UNT) student trying to save her disappearing language is getting some unique help keeping it alive. Sumshot Khular, an Indian native, has been working with UNT linguistics (语言学的) professor Shobhana Chelliah and several other UNT students to document the Lamkang language and translate it into written form.
The language is labeled as “critically endangered,”—one level below extinct—since fewer than 10,000 speakers remain, according to UNESCO. Of those, most are elders who speak the language infrequently or partially. Globally, an estimated 2,500 to 3,000 languages are in danger, and 230 have gone silent since 1950.
Part of the problem is that no Indian schools teach Lamkang. Instead, Lamkang is passed down through stories, songs and lessons about crafts which are important to the culture. But things are different now. There's been a very drastic change even in the last ten years, with the coming of electricity and television. Storytelling doesn't continue because everyone is watching TV.
The UNT team wants to change that with the Lamkang Online Lexical Database. The project started nearly 20 years ago with Chelliah, the faculty researcher on this project who was approached by the community for help preserving the language. In the project, Khular acts as a guide—helping her fellow students with the knowledge of a native speaker.
Once, only the Bible and a biblical hymn had ever been translated. However, now, due to her work and the work of the Lamkang Language Education and Literature Society, several pictorial children's books, folk tales, songs, human rights documents and dictionaries are done, and community meetings and an education committee have improved awareness of the need for preservation.
“Language is everything for us,” said Khular. “Language is our identity. Language is the source of our culture and traditions and how we communicate everything from healthcare to agriculture. Unless you keep the language alive, all of this will die out.”
11.How is the Lamkang language saved
A.By translating it into other foreign languages.
B.By keeping track of it in written language.
C.By teaching it to the young generation.
D.By listing it as a compulsory course.
12.What can be learned from paragraph 2
A.The Lamkang language is disappearing.
B.There are only 230 languages left on earth.
C.The elderly speak Lamkang frequently in public.
D.About 3,000 new languages will be born in the future.
13.What makes Lamkang face the significant challenge
A.Changes of lifestyles. B.Much pressure of exams.
C.Popularity of TV sets. D.Lack of language teachers.
14.Which of the following words can best describe Sumshot Khular
A.Intelligent. B.Generous. C.Caring. D.Responsible.
【答案与解析】
北得克萨斯州大学的学生Sumshot Khular与Chelliah教授、其他同学携手挽救即将消失的Lamkang语。
11.B 根据第1段第2句可知,Sumshot Khular与Chelliah教授、其他同学一起,以文字记录的形式来挽救Lamkang语。
12.A 根据第2段第1句可知,Lamkang语是一种面临消失的语言。
13.C 根据第3段最后两句可推断,电视的普及致使听故事的人数大大减少,Lamkang语无法通过讲故事传承下去,使得挽救这种语言面临重大挑战。
14.D 根据全文内容可知,Lamkang语面临消失。在Sumshot Khular的不懈努力下,人们开始认识到了保护这种语言的必要性,她的工作卓有成效。由此推断,她是一位有着强烈责任感、使命感的女性。
三、语法填空(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)

四、写作第二节(共1题,满分30分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The routine practice in the school band came to an end. Mark and Steven smiled at each other, happily talking about the weekend arrangements. Steven was putting his saxophone (萨克斯) into the case when he tripped over a shelf. Unfortunately, it fell and hit his saxophone. Clang! “Oh no!” Steven yelled.
Mark quickly picked up the saxophone, checked it and then handed it to Steven, who stood still, at a loss. Mark helped Steven put away all the things and comforted him with the thought that it was not a new saxophone. Anyway, it already had a lot of dents (凹痕).
“I know. But it's my grandpa's. He is visiting us this Sunday,” Steven lowered his head, upset.
Steven's grandpa used to be a great saxophonist in the national band. When Steven was even a baby, his grandpa always played some famous tunes like “Edelweiss”, “Rivers of Babylon”, “Forever in love” for him.
Staring at Steven in confusion, Mark asked what was wrong. Steven sighed deeply and then showed his concern that whenever his grandpa came, he would ask Steven to play with his beloved saxophone. “Maybe he won't notice the new dent or maybe he won't care,” Mark said. “But what if Grandpa notices the dent How is he going to react And how shall I tell him about it ” replied Steven.
On the bus home, Steven thought about all the possibilities. To avoid playing the saxophone, he could pretend that he had a fever. Oh no! He didn't like lying. He could get his baby brother, Joseph, to take all of Grandpa's attention. Or, he could turn to Mum for help...

答案:
One possible version:
When Sunday finally arrived, Steven still had no idea what he was going to do. Grandpa came over as expected and warmly greeted all the family one by one. Steven could have told him right then, but he froze. After dinner, when Grandpa suggested Steven's playing some music, Steven scratched his head, searching high and low for Joseph. Oh no! Mom was giving Joseph a bath. Lips bitten, forehead wrinkled, Steven dragged his saxophone from the case and began to play. Grandpa was pleasantly surprised, “You're better than I was at your age!”
Grandpa praised Steven, but he was not happy. With misty eyes, Steven told the whole story frankly. Surprisingly, Grandpa just beamed with arms wrapping around Steven's shoulders and shared tales about other dents. Hearing tales like trips on stage or accidental bumps with other instruments, Steven burst out giggling now and then. He was not the only clumsy one in the family and he could tell his own stories with music. Lifting the saxophone like a shot, Steven filled the room with happy noise.测卷十二 Unit 5 Languages around the world
