20、mes there hasbeen less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hun ter-gatherers,small, tightly knit (聯(lián)系)groups developed their own patter nsof speech independent of each other. Somelanguage experts believe that 10,000 years ago, whe n theworld had just five to ten milli o

21、n people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 Ian guages betwee n them.Soon afterwards, many of those people startedsettlingdown to become farmers,and their Ianguages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade,industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread o

22、f universal compulsoryeducation, especiallyglobalisation and better communicationsin the past few decades, all have causedmany Ian guages to disappear, and dominantIan guages such as En glish, Spanish and Chin ese are in creas in gly tak ing over.At present, the world has about 6,800 Ianguages. The

23、distribution of theseIanguages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few Ianguages, oftenspoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small nu mbers. Europe hasonly around 200 Ian guages; the Americas about 1,000;Africa 2,400; and Asia and th

24、e Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua NewGuinea alone accounts forwell over 800. The median number (中位數(shù))of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half theworld s Ianguages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 Ian guages are close to ext inction (了肖亡)

25、,with only afew elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers),Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the UnitedStates (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): noneofthese seems to have much cha nee of survival.28.

28、s language evolution.解析：本文主要講的是隨著人類的發(fā)展，語言的種類卻越來越少，很多語言已 經(jīng)滅絕或者瀕臨滅絕，這是全球化和工業(yè)化帶來的副作用需要引起我們的重視。28.B. 推理判斷題 。本題的答案主要出自第一段 ，只要認(rèn)真研讀，進(jìn)行 簡單的排除， 答案不難選出。 Somelanguage experts believe that 10,000 years ago,whenthe world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000languages between them. 這句話是答案

29、的出處。29.C.詞義猜測題。詞語出自第二段。Dominant 這個(gè)詞應(yīng)該是比較常見的，只要考生平時(shí)注意詞匯積累這個(gè)詞應(yīng)該能認(rèn)識(shí)， 所以我們在平時(shí)的英語學(xué)習(xí) 中一定要注意詞匯的積累。假如不認(rèn)識(shí)的話，后邊的例子中例舉了English,Spanish and Chinese 還有詞組 take over 這些線索都可以幫助我們來猜測詞 義。30.B 推理判斷題 。答案出自第三段 The median number （ 中位數(shù)） ofspeakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world s languages are spoken byf

30、ewer people than that. 結(jié)合前面的 At present, the world has about 6,800 languages.這兩句話就可以把答案推出來， 6800 和 half 是關(guān)鍵 詞。31.C. 主旨大意題 。本篇文章結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，第一段是總領(lǐng)全文，提出觀點(diǎn)in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going。第二段是解釋原因，第三段是對(duì)現(xiàn)狀的介紹， 第四段是舉例子。 所以答案很容易選出。 本篇文章考生可以注意出題人的出題范圍， 前三題分別出自前三段， 第四題是對(duì) 全文的考查，這也是出題人

31、出題的一個(gè)暗含的線索，考生應(yīng)該多加關(guān)注。DWemay think were a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of somethingshiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices （ 裝置 ） well after they goout of style. That s bad news for the environmentand our wallets as these outdated devi
