(2017·湖南省六校联盟联考)
Taktak tabulaba?
You probably don't know how to answer that question—unless you happen to be
one of the about 430 people in the world who speak a language called Matukar
Panau.Then you would know it means“What are we doing?”Matukar Panau is one
of the world's rarest languages.It is spoken in just two small coastal villages in Papua
New Guinea.
Several years ago,David Harrison,a language expert,didn't know much about
Matukar Panau either.No one had ever recorded or even studied its words and
rules.With so few speakers,the language risked disappearing soon.It was endangered.
Harrison didn't want that to happen to Matukar Panau.So in 2009,he set out for
Papua New Guinea.His goal:use modern technology to help the remaining speakers
preserve their native tongue.
But Matukar Panau is far from the only language facing loss.Studies suggest that
by the end of this century,nearly half of the 7,000 languages now spoken worldwide
could disappear. They're in danger partly because the only people left speaking them
are elderly adults.When those individuals die, their language will die with them.In
addition,children may discard a native language and instead use more common global
languages, such as Chinese,English or Spanish.
In the United States alone, 134 native American languages are endangered.
“Language hotspots” exist all over the world. These are places with endangered
languages that haven't been recorded.They include the state of Oklahoma,pockets of
4
central and eastern Siberia, parts of northern Australia and communities in South
America.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。Matukar Panau 语是一种稀有的语种,由于
讲这种语言的人很少,这种语言面临消亡的危险;与此类似,到本世纪末世界上
将有近一半的语言面临消亡,仅美国就有 134种本地语言濒临消亡。
5.What did Harrison go to Papua New Guinea for?
A.Learning their native language.
B.Helping preserve their endangered tongue.
C.Learning their modern technology.
D.Teaching the natives a new language.
B [考查细节理解。根据第三段的“Harrison didn't want that to happen to
Matukar Panau.So in 2009, he set out for Papua New Guinea.”和 “help the
remaining speakers preserve their native tongue”可知,为了不让 Matukar Panau
语消亡,语言学家 Harrison去了 Papua New Guinea,帮助保护该语言,故 B
项正确。]
[干扰项分析] A 项和 C 项与第三段的“use modern technology to... native
tongue”的表述不符;D项文中没有提及。
6.The underlined word“discard”in Paragraph 4 means “ ”.
A.hear of B.pick up
C.get rid of D.learn about
C [考查词义猜测。根据画线词后的“a native language and instead use more
common global languages,such as Chinese,English or Spanish”可以判断,那
里的孩子们可能不说这种本地方言,而是更多地讲汉语、英语或西班牙语等
国际通用语言,故画线词意为“摆脱,丢弃”,故 C项正确。]
7.The last two paragraphs imply that endangered languages are .
A.dying quickly in Siberia
B.becoming a worldwide problem
C.popular in some special places
D.some native tongues
B [考查推理判断。根据第四段第二句“Studies suggest that by the end of this
5
century, nearly half of the 7, 000 languages now spoken worldwide could
disappear.”及最后一段的“‘Language hotspots’ exist all over the world.”可以
判断,濒危语言正在成为世界性难题,故 B项正确。]
[干扰项分析 ] 根据尾段最后一句“They include the state of Oklahoma,
pockets of central and eastern Siberia”可知,A 项错误;根据第四段第三句
“They're in danger partly because the only people left speaking them are elderly
adults.”可知,由于讲这些语言的人数少,故它们濒临消亡,故 C项错误;D
项与最后两段内容无关,故排除。
8.According to the passage,the author is about the endangered languages.
A.indifferent B.suspicious
C.supportive D.concerned
D [ 考查观点态度。根据第四段第一、二句“But Matukar Panau is far from the
only language facing loss.Studies suggest that by the end of this century,nearly
half of the 7,000 languages now spoken worldwide could disappear.”并结合全
文内容可知,除了Matukar Panau语之外,到本世纪末,7 000种现存的世界
范围内所使用的语言中将有近一半可能濒临消亡。据此可以判断,作者很担
心这些濒危语言的消亡,故 D项正确。]

(2017·湖北省七市(州)教科研协作体联考)
With Halloween just around the corner, today we will explore the world of
ghosts in this program!
The MerriamWebster online dictionary says the word“ghost”goes back a
thousand years to the“earliest recorded evidence of the language”.The first meaning
of “ghost” was“the seat of life or intelligence”.And it still has that meaning in some
expressions.
However,today,the word“ghost”usually means the soul of a dead person.This
meaning is based on the idea that a person's spirit and body are separate.The spirit can
continue existing long after the body has died.
During Halloween,kids dressed as ghosts are common sights.The costume is
very simple:just throw on a white cloth that covers you from head to foot.But do not
6
expect to win any costume competitions!You would not have a ghost of a chance.
People use this expression to mean that something is very unlikely to happen.
The sight might even make you turn pale as a ghost.This is used when people
lose color in their face.Sometimes this happens when a person is scared.But a bad
cold or flu can also turn you as pale as a ghost.
“Ghost”can also be a verb.In the 1880s the term“ghost”meant a person who
works in secret for another person.Ghostwriters produce speeches for politicians.They
also produce books for authors who want to tell their life stories but are not
professional writers.
And sometimes ghostwriters are involved in a series of books,like the children's
stories based on the teenage detective Nancy Drew.The series began in 1930.The
author given credit was Carolyn Keene.But she was not even real!Ghostwriters did all
the work.
Another expression using“ghost”as a verb is simply to ghost.This does not mean
to die.It means to leave a place or event without saying“goodbye”to anyone.You can
ghost from your job.You can ghost from a party.You can even ghost from a
relationship.This is when you stop communicating with someone because you are
simply no longer interested in them.
But I will not ghost from Words and Their Stories.
