26、Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.

When the world’s population was still mainly made up of hunter﹣collectors, small and deeply connected groups developed their own patterns of speech which is not connected to other groups’ speech.Some language scientists believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.

Soon afterwards, many of those people started lives and become farmers, and their languages too became fewer in number.In recent centuries, trade and the spread of education, especially globalization (全球化) and better communications, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.

At present, the world has about 6, 800 languages. However, the people who use the languages in the place they spread are hugely different.The general rule is that warm and comfortable places on the Earth have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot wet places have lots, often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1, 000;Africa 2, 400;and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3, 200.What’s more, the median number(中位数) of speakers in the world is nearly 6, 000, which means that about half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.

Already far over 400 of the total of 6, 800 languages are close to disappear, with only a few elderly speakers left.Busuu in Cameroon (8 remaining speakers), Chuapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (2 or 3)or Wadjigu in Australia (1, maybe one speaker): none of these seems to have much chance of living.

【1】What can we infer about languages in hunter﹣ collector times?

A．They developed very fast.

B．They had similar patterns.

C．They were closely connected.

D．They were large in number.

【2】Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 3?

A．Powerful.

B．Ancient.

C．Difficult.

D．Modern.

【3】How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present?

A．About 6, 800.

B．About 3, 400.

C．About 2, 400.

D．About 1, 200.

【4】The writer of the passage may agree that ________.

A．new languages will be created

B．people’s lifestyles are shown in languages

C．human development results in fewer languages

D．geography most greatly influences language development

27、May Day is a holiday in many parts of the world. But May Day means different things to different people. For some it is a time to celebrate spring. For others it is the day to remember the workers of the world.

May Day was popular in Europe for hundreds of years. The traditions were different from place to place. But the main idea was always the same—people celebrated the spring.

In Sweden, people made “ Old Man Winter” out of wood. They threw him on a fire to show the end of winter and the start of spring.

In English villages young people danced around the “maypole” —a tall pole in the centre of the town. A May Queen was chosen from the young women.

At one time, people believed that these May Day celebrations helped them to grow good crops for the next year. People don’t believe this today, but many of the traditions continue.

In the modern world, May Day is also the day to remember workers around the world. This day was chosen at an international meeting of socialists in Paris in 1889. They wanted to remember four men who died for workers’ rights in the US in 1886. Later, May Day became an important holiday in communist (共产主义的) countries. In other countries, people fight on this day for workers’ rights around the world.

【1】Who has been chosen as a May Queen in English villages?

A. Henry Brown—six years old.   B. Catherine White—five years old.

C. Mr. Black—twenty years old.   D. Ms. Green—twenty years old.

【2】May Day became the day to remember workers around the world ________.

A. in 1868   B. in 1886   C. in 1889   D. in 1898

【3】People remember the four workers because ________.

A. they were Americans   B. they died for Paris

C. they died for workers’ rights   D. they died for America
