Ⅳ. 阅读理解七选五
It's reported that half of around 7, 000 languages on the earth are in danger of disappearing by 2100. There are many reasons for such disappearance. Sometimes younger generations stop learning a language because parents want children to fit in modern society. 1FFor instance, native American children of the late 19th century were required to attend boarding schools where educators forbade them from speaking their native languages.
Endangered languages are ranked according to their risk level by the United Nations. A “critically endangered” language is one that even grandparents don't speak often. New York's Onondaga language is an example with only 50 speakers left. An “extinct” language has no speakers, which means it is gone forever. 2AThe last person who spoke it died in 2008. So this language doesn't exist any longer.
Various animals and plants benefit our environment. 3ESaving these languages benefits our understanding of other cultures. Languages can show how a society looks at the world and what it values. The Endangered Language Alliance, a non-profit group, wants to save languages from disappearing. 4GHowever, its efforts are limited. If an endangered language is going to make a real comeback, it'll probably get its start in schools. Now students in Hawaii can keep learning Hawaiian from elementary schools to college and beyond.
5DAt least one did. In 1881, a Jewish linguist named Eliezer Ben-Yehuda brought the 3, 000-year-old language Hebrew back to life. Today it is one of the official languages of the country of Israel, with more than 4 million speakers.

答案： 1. F 下文“For instance, native American children of the late 19th century were required to attend boarding schools where educators forbade them from speaking their native languages. (举例来说，在 19 世纪晚期美国土著儿童被要求去上寄宿制学校，在那儿，教育者禁止他们说他们的母语。)”与 F 项“Sometimes societies force minorities to give up their language. (有时，社会强迫少数人放弃自己的语言。)”承接自然，接下来是社会强迫少数人放弃自己语言的例子。故选 F。
2. A A 项“Alaska's Eyak language is one example. (阿拉斯加语就是一个例子。)”与上文“An 'extinct' language has no speakers, which means it is gone forever. (灭绝的语言没人说，这就意味着它永远地消失了。)”以及下文“The last person who spoke it died in 2008. So this language doesn't exist any longer. (最后一个说它的人死于 2008 年，所以这种语言不再存在了。)”逻辑严密，承接自然。故选 A。
3. E 上文“Various animals and plants benefit our environment. (各种各样的动植物对环境有益。)”与 E 项“Similarly, different languages contribute to cultural diversity. (同样，各种各样的语言对文化多样性有好处。)”承接自然，且两句句式相同，其中 various 和 different 属于同义词复现，benefit 和 contribute to 也属于同义词复现。故选 E。
4. G 前文“The Endangered Language Alliance, a non-profit group, wants to save languages from disappearing. (濒临灭绝语言联盟希望挽回这些即将消失的语言。)”与 G 项“The organization finds native speakers and records their stories. (这个组织找到说当地语言的人然后记录他们的故事。)”承接自然，答案应是这一组织采取的具体措施。故选 G。
5. D 下文“At least one did. In 1881, a Jewish linguist named Eliezer Ben-Yehuda brought the 3, 000-year-old language Hebrew back to life. Today it is one of the official languages of the country of Israel, with more than 4 million speakers. (至少有一种语言做到了。在 1881 年，一名叫 Eliezer Ben-Yehuda 的犹太语言学家使有 3000 年历史的希伯来语复活了。现在，它是以色列官方语言之一，拥有 400 多万使用者。)”与 D 项“Can a language with zero native speakers come back to life? (一种没人说的语言可以复活吗?)”承接自然，下文是对问题的回答，也是其中的一个例子。故选 D。
