B．Advanced.C．Powerful. D．Modern.答案：C解析：詞義揣測題。依據(jù)其次段中的“...allhavecausedmanylanguagestodisappear，anddominantlanguagessuchasEnglish，SpanishandChineseareincreasinglytakingover.”可知，人類社會發(fā)展的很多因素導(dǎo)致很多語言消逝，而漸漸被如英語、西班牙語、漢語等語言取代，這就示意出這些語言是“占優(yōu)勢的”，故選C項。powerful強大的，有影響力的；complex困難的；advanced先進的；modern現(xiàn)代的。3．Howmanylanguagesarespokenbylessthan6,000peopleatpresent?A．About6,800. B．About3,400.C．About2,400. D．About1,200.答案：B解析：數(shù)字計算題。依據(jù)第三段中的“Atpresent，theworldhasabout6,800languages.”可知，目前世界上有大約6800種語言；再依據(jù)“Themediannumber(中位數(shù))ofspeakersisamere6,000，whichmeansthathalftheworld'slanguagesarespokenbyfewerpeoplethanthat.”可知，目前世界上一半的語言的運用人數(shù)少于6000，也就是說有大約3400種語言的運用人數(shù)少于6000。4．Whatisthemainideaofthetext?A．Newlanguageswillbecreated.B．People'slifestylesarereflectedinlanguages.C．Humandevelopmentresultsinfewerlanguages.D．Geographydetermineslanguageevolution.答案：C解析：主旨大意題。文章介紹了語言的種類隨著人類社會的發(fā)展而漸漸削減這一現(xiàn)象，故C項概括全面。A項混淆黑白，文章介紹的是語言的削減而不是新語言的創(chuàng)建。B、D兩項無中生有，文中沒有提到人們的生活方式會反映到語言上，也沒有提到地理確定語言的發(fā)展。Ⅲ.讀后續(xù)寫Amancamehomefromworklate,tiredandirritated(不耐煩的),tofindhis5-year-oldsonwaitingforhimatthedoor.“Daddy,mayIaskyouaquestion？”“Yeahsure,whatisit？”repliedtheman.“Daddy,howmuchdoyoumakeanhour？”“That'snoneofyourbusiness.Whydoyouasksuchathing？”themansaidangrily.“Ijustwanttoknow.Pleasetellme.Howmuchdoyoumakeanhour？”pleadedthelittleboy.“Ifyoumustknow,Imake$20anhour.”“Oh，”thelittleboyreplied,withhisheaddown.Lookingup,hesaid,“Daddy,mayIpleaseborrow$10？”Thefatherwasangry,“Iftheonlyreasonyouaskedthatisthatyoucanborrowsomemoneytobuyasillytoyorsomeothernonsense,thenyoumarchyourselfstraighttoyourroomandgotobed.Thinkaboutwhyyouarebeingsoselfish.Iworkhardeverydayforsuchchildishbehavior.”Thelittleboyquietlywenttohisroomandshutthedoor.Themansatdownandstartedtogetevenangrieraboutthelittleboy'squestions.“Howdareheasksuchquestionsonlytogetsomemoney？”hethoughttohimself.Afteraboutanhourorso,themancalmeddown,andstartedtothink：Maybetherewassomethinghereallyneededtobuywiththat$10andhereallydidn'taskformoneyveryoften.Themanwenttothedoorofthelittleboy'sroomandopenedthedoor.“Areyouasleep,son？”heasked.“No,Daddy,I'mawake，”repliedtheboy.“I'vebeenthinking,maybeIwastoohardonyouearlier，”saidtheman.“IthasbeenalongdayandItookoutmyangeronyou.Here'sthe$10youaskedfor.”Thelittleboysatstraightup,smiling.“Oh.Thankyou,Daddy！”heyelled.Then,reachingunderhispillowhepulledoutsomecrumpled(皺巴巴的)bills.留意：1．所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；2．續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，每段的開頭語已為你寫好。答案Paragraph1：Theman,seeingthattheboyalreadyhadmoneystartedtogetangryagain.“Howcanyoubesoselfish?Whydoyouwantmoremoneys
