language in Japan，is now seriously threatened，with only 10 native speakers left，” said lead study author Tatsuya Amano at the University of Cambridge in EnglandThe scientists found that 25 percent of the worlds languages are threatened After identifying where the endangered languages were，they looked for any environmental，social or economic factors those languages might have in mon，such as rugged terrain or rapid population growth “We found that on a global scale，language speaker declines are strongly linked to economic growththat is，declines are particularly occurring in economically developed regions，” Amano said“One important implication of this new study is that languages in the tropics and the Himalayan region are likely to be increasingly threatened in the near future，because these regions still have many local indigenous(土生土长的) languages with a small number of speakers，and at the same time are experiencing rapid economic growth，” Amano saidEconomic growth may endanger languages for a variety of reasonsFor instance，speakers of endangered languages may view another more dominant language as offering economic opportunities，and thus give up their own languagesThere are other important factors that might endanger languages，the researchers saidFor instance，policies regarding how languages are used and taught in schools can be very different among countries and even within each country，and these factors may explain more detailed patterns in language endangermentAmano suggested it could be possible to forecast future threats to linguistic diversity “There exists detailed information about projected future changes in the environment，economies and climates，”Amano said “Using such information，together with the findings of this study and further analysis，we would like to understand what will happen to the worlds languages，where it will happen and which languages will be threatened in particular”文章大意：文章介绍了世界上许多语言面临灭绝的危险。作者举例说明了造成这种情况的几种因素。1Ainu is mentioned in Paragraph 1 in order to tell us that_AJapanese is now seriously threatenedBfew people speak Japanese in the worldCJapanese is made up of many languagesDit is most likely to disappear in the future答案：D推理判断题。文章第一段首句提到世界上许多语言面临着灭绝的危险，接着以日本的阿伊努语为例，这说明该语言在未来有可能消失。2What may endanger the languages most according to Amano？AThe diversity of societyBThe development of economyCThe decline of the populationDThe improvement of the environment答案：B细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的language speaker declines are strongly linked to economic growth可知，Amano认为经济的发展有可能引起某种语言的使用人数减少，使得这种语言濒临灭绝。3The writer shows us the reasons why languages are endangered by_Aoffering some examplesBperforming some experimentsCtelling some interesting storiesDmaking a list of important facts答案：A细节理解题。作者在第四段举出事例分析语言会濒临灭绝的原因，故A项为正确答案。4We can learn from the last paragraph that_Aworlds languages are developing rapidlyBthe study is very important to languagesCfuture threats to languages can be predictedDit is rather hard for us to protect languages答案：C细节理解题。根据最后一段首句可知，语言受到威胁的情况是可以预见的。BIf you are planning to study in the United States，you need to consider several factorsFirst，everyone has different opinions about where is the best place to live Also，the best places to live are not always home to the best schools Finally，many schools specialize in different areas of study The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (麻省理工学院)，for example，is a great school for puter science and technologyrelated fields of study However，if you want to study oceanography(海洋学)，your interests may be better served by attending a school that is on a coastline or near the oceanNow I am sure that you have known which schools are considered the best in the country So I will tell you about which states I believe are the best to live inCalifornia is a nice state Northern California specifically has very good weather Los Angeles in Southern California is another story though Life in Los Angeles is fast，full of excitement and sometimes dangerous As for me，I enjoy the time I spent in Massachusetts，Virginia and Maryland，because these states have a lot of history and culture The weather is not as perfect as Northern California，but it is still quite nice My favorite area of America is the Midwest Middle America，I think，is home to the true American sense of values In addition，there are many good universitiesAlso，you need to think about your likes and dislikes and then research the various states You like sunshine and hate snow？ Then you probably wont like the Midwest or even the Northeast Open space，nature，peace and quiet？ Then you probably should stay away from Americas large citiesAre you interested in government？ Then WashingtonDCis the only place for you Whatever you decide，put some thought into it The place you live in could be the difference between a great studyabroad experience and a state of great suffering on earth文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了美国适宜学习和居住的州的情况。5From the first paragraph we can conclude that in the USA_Aall colleges and universities lie in big citiesBall colleges and universities lie in beautiful placesCfamous colleges and universities lie in nice placesDfamous colleges and universities may not lie in nice places答案：D推理判断题。由第一段中的“the best places to live are not always home to the best schools”可知，有好大学的地方不一定最适合居住。故选D。6What，according to the writer，should be considered first if you want to study in the USA？AThe climateBThe sceneryCThe study conditionDThe living condition答案：C细节理解题。由第一段内容可知，作者认为想去美国学习首先应考虑学习条件。7From the third paragraph we

USA答案：C细节理解题。由第三段中的“Northern California specifically has very good weather”和“The weather is not as perfect as Northern California，but it is still quite nice”可知，加利福尼亚州有不同的气候。故选C。8If you study in Middle

to the true American sense of value”可知选B。
