1、專題十三社會(huì)文化類-2-(2018全國(guó)C)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(聯(lián)系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.S

2、ome 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.-3-Soon afterwards,many of those people started settling down to become farmers,and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number.In re

3、cent 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 Chines

4、e are increasingly taking over.-4-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 o

5、nly 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(中位數(shù)) of speakers is a mere 6,000,which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.-5-Alrea

6、dy 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):no

7、ne of these seems to have much chance of survival.-6-28.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.29.Which of the following best explains“dominant”underlined in paragra

8、ph 2?A.Complex. B.Advanced.C.Powerful.D.Modern.30.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 1,200.31.What is the main idea of the text?A.New languages will be created.B.Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.C.Human

9、 development results in fewer languages.D.Geography determines language evolution.-7-【文章結(jié)構(gòu)】 -8-【難點(diǎn)分析】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.總的規(guī)則是:天氣溫和地區(qū)的語(yǔ)言種類相對(duì)較少,往往有許多人說(shuō)這些語(yǔ)言,而炎熱、潮濕地區(qū)的語(yǔ)言

10、種類很多,但往往說(shuō)這些語(yǔ)言的人數(shù)少。分析:that mild zones have.while.是賓語(yǔ)從句。while是并列連詞,連接兩個(gè)并列分句,表示對(duì)比。spoken by.是過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ),作后置定語(yǔ)修飾前面的languages。-9-【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是說(shuō)明文。在依靠狩獵和采集生活的時(shí)代,語(yǔ)種眾多。但是隨著工業(yè)化、貿(mào)易、全球化等的發(fā)展,許多語(yǔ)種消失了。28.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers.they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them

11、”可知,在依靠狩獵和采集生活的時(shí)代,人們使用的語(yǔ)言種類很多。29.C詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上文提到的“.all have caused many languages to disappear”和下文的“such as English,Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over”可知,英語(yǔ)、西班牙語(yǔ)和漢語(yǔ)正在逐漸取代一些語(yǔ)言。由此可猜測(cè)該詞的意思是“占優(yōu)勢(shì)的”,所以選C項(xiàng)。-10-30.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的第一句“At present,the world has about 6,800 languages”和最后一句中的“is a mere

12、6,000,which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that”可知,B項(xiàng)正確。31.C主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,在依靠狩獵和采集生活的時(shí)代,語(yǔ)種眾多。但是隨著工業(yè)化、貿(mào)易、全球化等的發(fā)展,許多語(yǔ)種消失了。由此可知,人類的發(fā)展導(dǎo)致了語(yǔ)種的減少,所以選C項(xiàng)。-11-A(2018河南鄭州三模)“Years ago when I was at the Grand Canyon,I remembered someone coming up to the canyons edge,taking a

13、 shot with a camera and then walking away,like got it done,barely even glancing at the magnificent scene in front of him,” Linda Henkel,a scientist at Fairfield University,US told Live Science.Henkel was surprised by how obsessed(著迷的) people are with taking pictures these daysbefore dinner,during fr

14、iends birthday parties,on museum tours and so on.They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment,but as Henkels latest study has just found out,this obsession may prevent their brains remembering what actually happened,reported The Guardian.-12-In her study,Henkel led a

17、omed(縮放) in to photograph part of an object,their memory actually improved,and those who focused the lens(鏡頭) on a specific area could even recall parts that werent in the frame.-13-So basically,this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory.But shouldnt reviewing pictures

18、 we have taken help wake up our memories?This is true,but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember,we have to access and interact with the photos,rather than just collect them,” Henkel told The Telegraph.However,previous research has shown that most people never take the time to l

19、ook over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they arent usually very organized on their computers.-14-【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文為議論文。人們都喜歡拍照,拍照有助于記錄某一時(shí)刻,但拍照對(duì)我們的記憶有影響。如果我們只是簡(jiǎn)單的記錄,而不去關(guān)注和欣賞的話,則會(huì)有負(fù)面的影響;如果我們以后還會(huì)欣賞這些照片則會(huì)有助于喚醒我們的記憶;如果只拍照不欣賞還不如不拍照只是欣賞的好。-15-1.Why did the author mention Henkel

20、s trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning?A.To complain about some tourists bad habits.B.To give suggestions on how to enjoy ones tour.C.To point out peoples obsession with taking pictures.D.To describe the beautiful view of the Grand Canyon. 答案解析解析關(guān)閉細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的句子“Henkel was surprised by how obs

21、essed(著迷的) people are with taking pictures these days before dinner,during friends birthday parties,on museum tours and so on.”可知,在文中提到Henkel對(duì)人們執(zhí)迷于拍照的驚訝,以此來(lái)說(shuō)明一種現(xiàn)象:人們執(zhí)迷于拍照的現(xiàn)象。故答案為C項(xiàng)。 答案解析關(guān)閉C-16-2.What can we learn from Henkels study?A.Reviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories easily.

22、B.Taking pictures in a museum tour helps students recognize objects better.C.People should spend more time taking pictures than studying real objects.D.Pictures focusing on the details of objects probably improve peoples memories. 答案解析解析關(guān)閉細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)第六段中的“But there is also an exception:if students zoom

23、ed (縮放) in to photograph part of an object,their memory actually improved.”可知,在拍照時(shí),如果只關(guān)注某個(gè)細(xì)節(jié),可能有助于他們記憶的提高。故選D項(xiàng)。 答案解析關(guān)閉D-17-3.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?A.The camera.B.The technology.C.The event.D.An object. 答案解析解析關(guān)閉猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)第五段第一句“When people rely on technolog

24、y to remember themcounting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves.” 前面說(shuō)人們要依靠技術(shù)來(lái)記住它們時(shí),要依靠照相機(jī)來(lái)記錄事件,那么就完全不需要關(guān)注這個(gè)事件了。分析前后的關(guān)系可知,本句是說(shuō)如果你要用相機(jī)來(lái)記錄事件,就不需要來(lái)關(guān)注這個(gè)(事件)。故選C項(xiàng)。 答案解析關(guān)閉C-18-4.What is the article mainly about?A.Peoples obsession with taking pictures and
