Section Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part, Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil.

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:

Prior to the 20th century, many languages with small numbers of speakers survived for centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world makes it much more difficult for small language communities to live in relative isolation, a key factor in language maintenance and preservation.

It remains to be seen whether the world can maintain its linguistic and cultural diversity in the centuries ahead. Many powerful forces appear to work against it :population growth, which pushes migrant populations into the world’s last isolated locations. mass tourism. global telecommunications and mass media. and the spread of gigantic global corporations. All of these forces appear to signify a future in which the language of advertising, popular culture, and consumer products become similar. Already English and a few other major tongues have emerged as global languages of commerce and communication. For many of the world’s peoples, learning one of these languages is viewed as the key to education, economic opportunity, and a better way of life.

Only about 3,000 languages now in use are expected to survive the coming century. Are most of the rest doomed in the century after that?

Whether most of these languages survive will probably depend on how strongly cultural groups wish to keep their identity alive through a native language. To do so will require an emphasis on bilingualismmastery of two languages. Bilingual speakers could use their own language in smaller spheres---at home, among friends, in community settings---and a global language at work, in dealings with government, and in commercial spheres. In this way, many small languages could sustain their cultural and linguistic integrity alongside global languages, rather than yield to the homogenizing(同化的)forces of globalization.

Ironically, the trend of technological innovation that has threatened minority languages could also help save them. For example, some experts predict that computer software translation tools will one day permit minority language speakers to browse the Internet using their native tongues. Linguists are currently using computer—aided learning tools to teach a variety of threatened languages.

For many endangered languages, the line between revival and death is extremely thin. Language is remarkably resilient(有活力的),however. It is not just a tool for communicating, but also a powerful way of separating different groups, or of demonstrating group identity. Many indigenous(原生的,土著的)communities have shown that it is possible to live in the modern world while reclaiming their unique identities through language.

41.Minority languages can be best preserved in __________.

Aan increasingly interconnected world

Bmaintaining small numbers of speakers

Crelatively isolated language communities

Dfollowing the tradition of the 20th century

42.According to Paragraph 2, that the world can maintain its linguistic diversity in the future is _______.

Auncertain Bunrealistic

43.According to the author, bilingualism can help_________.

Asmall languages become acceptable in work places

Bhomogenize the world’s languages and cultures

Cglobal languages reach home and community settings

Dspeakers maintain their linguistic and cultural identity

44.Computer technology is helpful for preserving minority languages in that it_________.

Amakes learning a global language unnecessary

Bfacilitates the learning and using of those languages

Craises public awareness of saving those languages

Dmakes it easier for linguists to study those languages

45.In the author’s view, many endangered languages are________.

Aremarkably well-kept in this modern world

Bexceptionally powerful tools of communication

Cquite possible to be revived instead of dying out

Da unique way of bringing different groups together
