more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing.In fact, half of the 6,0007,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizationsUNESCO and National Geographic among themhave for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that_tradition.His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience of living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China.But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materialsincluding photographs, films, tape recordings, and field noteswhich had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now, through the two organizations that he has foundedthe Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature ProjectTurin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected.Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.()1.Many scholars are making efforts to_.Apromote global languagesBrescue disappearing languagesCsearch for language communitiesDset up language research organizations()2.What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?AHaving full records of the languages.BWriting books on language teaching.CTelling stories about language users.DLiving with the native speakers.()3.What is Turins book based on?AThe cultural studies in India.BThe documents available at Yale.CHis language research in Bhutan.DHis personal experience in Nepal.()4.Which of the following best describes Turins work?AWrite, sell and donate.BRecord, repair and reward.CCollect, protect and reconnect.DDesign, experiment and report.【主旨大意】世界上有很多語言正面臨著消亡。文章講述的是Turin和其他研究者拯救世界上那些面臨消亡的語言的具體做法。1【答案】B【解析】 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段可知，許多學(xué)者多年來一直都在致力于記錄那些即將消失的語言以及這些語言所反映的文化。故選B項(xiàng)。2【答案】A【解析】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章開頭兩段可知，為了保護(hù)那些即將消失的語言，許多學(xué)者多年來一直從事這些語言的記錄整理工作。第二段中的關(guān)鍵詞document，意為“記錄”。而馬克圖林作為語言學(xué)家，同樣也遵循這一傳統(tǒng)，也就是說，對語言進(jìn)行著記錄。故選A項(xiàng)。3【答案】D【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句可知，馬克圖林最新出版的書是源自于他自己在尼泊爾的一個(gè)小村莊里生活和工作的經(jīng)歷。故選D項(xiàng)。4【答案】C【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句中的關(guān)鍵詞collect可知，馬克圖林所設(shè)立的機(jī)構(gòu)首先是收集材料；根據(jù)最后一段最后一句中的關(guān)鍵詞save 和 reconnect可知，馬克圖林利用現(xiàn)代技術(shù)對那些即將消失的語言進(jìn)行保護(hù)并將這些語言重新連接到它們所屬的言語社區(qū)。因此馬克圖林的工作可描述為：collect，protect，reconnect。故選C項(xiàng)。.語法填空(2015全國課標(biāo))The adobe dwellings (土坯房)1._ (build) by the

admired，故此處應(yīng)用非謂語動(dòng)詞。build和其邏輯主語the adobe dwellings之間為邏輯上的動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，空格后的by引出了動(dòng)作的發(fā)出者，故用build的過去分詞形式built，作后置定語。2【答案】the【解析】考查冠詞。根據(jù)空后的最高級(jí)標(biāo)志詞most可知此處填定冠詞the。句意為：由美國西南部的普韋布洛印第安人建造的土坯房受到了最前衛(wèi)的建筑師和工程師的青睞。3【答案】ability【解析】考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換?？崭袂坝凶鞫ㄕZ的形容詞性物主代詞their修飾，所以用able的名詞形式ability，意為“能力”。句意為：除了樸素之美以外，這些土坯房令人贊嘆之處是這些房子不使用電氣設(shè)備而自動(dòng)進(jìn)行空氣調(diào)節(jié)的能力。4【答案】using【解析】考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。without為介詞，故此處用動(dòng)詞的ing形式。5【答案】slowly【解析】考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。修飾動(dòng)詞短語give out要用slow的副詞形式slowly。句意為：土坯做的墻在炎熱的白天里吸收了太陽的熱量，在涼爽的夜晚再把熱量緩慢地釋放出來，這樣就使房子變得溫暖。6【答案】to cool【解析】考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。此處用作目的狀語，要用動(dòng)詞不定式。7【答案】at【解析】考查介詞。at the same time是固定詞組，意為“與此同時(shí)”。8【答案】goes【解析】考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)上下文時(shí)態(tài)，可知此處應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。9【答案】natural【解析】考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。名詞architects前應(yīng)用形容詞作定語來修飾。10【答案】how【解析】考查名詞性從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)和空格后的形容詞thick可知，此處應(yīng)用how引導(dǎo)賓語從句，表示要弄清楚到底土坯房的墻需要多厚。.書面表達(dá)(2016遼寧沈陽東北育才學(xué)校高三上學(xué)期二模)假如你是李華，
