More and more people speak the three most common languages: English, Spanish, and Chinese. As a result, local languages are being forgotten. In many parts of the world, grandparents speak a language that their grandchildren do not understand. Because these local languages arent taught to children or spoken at home, they are slowly disappearing（消失）。A language is said to be in trouble when less than 30 percent of local children speak it. It is considered a dying language. If children no longer learn to use a language, it will have fewer and fewer speakers over time and after a long time the language will be gone.Why should we keep languages alive? Languages show how a culture understands or explains the world. You need to look at different kinds of languages, because no one language gets it all, said researcher Dr. Linda Cumberland who is working to save Assiniboine, a Native American language.According to Dr. Cumberland, a dying language needs a dictionary and people to understand and record its grammar. More importantly, you need to listen to those who still speak the language. This can be very difficult, especially if there are very few speakers of the language left. For example, when researchers were working to save the language Ayapaneco in Mexico, it was hard for them to record anything. Why? The last two people on Earth who could speak the language declined to speak to each other.（1）Why are local languages being spoken less and less? A . Because people who know the languages speak to each other less and less.B . Because people prefer to learn and speak more common languages.C . Because children dont talk much to their grandparents.D . Because people use computers to communicate now.（2）When is a language considered to be in trouble? A . When it is only spoken by local people.B . When no dictionaries record its grammar.C . When about 50 percent of local people speak it.D . When fewer than 30 percent of local children speak it.（3）Which of the following is TRUE about Dr. Linda Cumberland? A . She does some research on local languages.B . She prefers to speak more common languages.C . She once worked to save the language Ayapaneco in Mexico.D . She doesnt think a dictionary is necessary for a dying language.（4）What does the underlined word declined mean in the last paragraph? A . Expected.B . Decided.C . Refused.D . Forgot.13. （10分） I am my mothers third girl. When I was born, the doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was missing, below the elbow(肘).
