WHY GO NOW
Restaurants and hotels have been opening at a quick pace in Sa Pa， in part because a new highway connecting the nearby city of Lao Cai to Hanoi opened in 2014. But much of the national park in Sa Pa remains as wild and beautiful as ever.
GETTING THERE
Sa Pa is easily accessible by bus or train from Hanoi. Sleeper bus service takes at least six hours each way， and round － trip tickets cost about $ 40. Round － trip fares on an overnight sleeper train， eight hours each way， begin at about $ 50； a private cabin（隔间） in the train’ s sleeper car costs $ 200 for two.
NOT TO MISS
Mount Fansipan
Many travel agencies offer tours to Fansipan， Vietnam’ s highest mountain and primary attraction in Hoang Lien National Park. There’ s also a cable car（缆车） from Sa Pa to Fansipan’ s top； a round － trip costs $ 30.
Village trips
Sa Pa is famous for its minority villages. Some are connected to each other by walking or hiking paths. Several companies offer trip and homestay packages of varying lengths， prices and difficulty.
Weekend markets
The villages of Can Cau and Bac Ha， both a few hour’ s drive from Sa Pa， host weekend markets selling farm animals， produce and more.
Local dishes
In open－air restaurants around Sa Pa Lake， one popular fish is hot pot served in local salmon（三文鱼） raised in local mountain streams. Another is a plate of fried river fish called ca suoi.

1．细节理解题。根据GETTING THERE部分中的最后一句“a private cabin（隔间） in the train' s sleeper car costs $ 200 for two.” 在火车上供两人使用的卧铺车厢的私人小隔间售价200美元。由此可知夫妇俩人的费用是200美元，故选C。
2．细节理解题。根据Village trips部分中的“Sa Pa is famous for its minority villages.…Several companies offer trip and homestay packages of varying lengths，prices and difficulty.” Sa Pa以其少数民族村庄而闻名。有些公司提供时间、价格以及难度不同的家庭住宿套餐。由此可推断出，这些公司提供的家庭住宿套餐是住在少数民族的村庄里。故选C。
3．推理判断题。根据第一段“An increasing number of tourists are heading to Sa Pa， Vietnam. Want to travel wise？ Here' re some tips for you before leaving for Vietnam” 越来越多的游客前往越南的Sa Pa。想要明智地旅行吗?在去越南之前，这里有一些建议给你。接着下文叙述了为什么去Sa Pa的原因，去的方式，并介绍了Sa Pa的旅游的景点特色以及饮食等。由此可推断出作者写这篇文章的目的就是给去Sa Pa的旅游指南。故选B。
3.（2020届福建省福州市高三毕业班质量检测） Understanding what teens are talking about has been bothering parents and teachers for ages. One clever high school teacher in Massachusetts found a solution that has people on Twitter saying they’re “willing to pay money for it.”
James Callahan of Lowell High School created a spreadsheet of all the colloquial (口语的) terms his students have used since September along with his attempt to explain them in plain language, and people on social media are enjoying themselves.
On Monday, one of Callahan’s students posted a photo of a four-page document the sociology teacher created, titled the “Callahan’s Generation Z Dictionary.”
In the alphabetized green-colored column on the left, the professor typed out phrases like “sis,” “spill the tea,” and “snack.” In the yellow column on the right, he attempt to explain each phrase using a formal translation of what the students say.
The student told USA TODAY that she referred to Callahan as a professor in the tweet because “the word teacher didn’t seem dignified enough to describe him.” She also said that students get college credit for taking the introduction to sociology course.
Within 24 hours, the tweet received over 300,000 likes and 93,000 Retweets.
Some of the people who responded to the tweet applauded the professor’s interest in teenage culture, other made their own contribution to the list. “Yeet” was a popular suggestion — It’s a versatile word that can be used as an exclamation, a verb, or even a noun, according to the Urban Dictionary.
“The typical teacher-student relationship involves a rigid power structure, but in my experience, I’ve found that students are more engaged and perform better if I am able to reach them where they are,” Callahan said.
“Language is changing all the time, and every generation creates their own vocabulary bank of slang,” Callahan said, The students created it, I am sort of just the archivist (档案管理员)!
4．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragragh 1?
A．Twitter. B．Solution.
C．Understanding. D．Attempt.
5．How does one of Callahan’s students describe him as?
A．Simple. B．Interesting.
C．Admirable. D．Hardworking.
6．What are people’s reactions after the dictionary was posted online?
A．They express their surprise. B．They help translate the words.
C．They create move vocabulary. D．They take quite a fancy to it.
7．What is the purpose of Callahan’s efforts?
A．To improve students’ learning efficiency.
B．To help students get college credit.
C．To learn a new popular language.
D．To take up a new profession.
【答案】
4．B
5．C
6．D
7．A
【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了Callahan创造“卡式Z代词典”的目的、词典内容和创造过程及效果。
4．词义猜测题。it可指代上文已提及过的东西，由第一段最后一句One clever high school teacher in Massachusetts found a solution that has people on Twitter saying they’re “willing to pay money for it.”(马萨诸塞州一位聪明的高中老师找到了一个解决方案，Twitter上的人说他们“愿意为此付钱”)可知，此处it指代上文的解决方法。故选B项。
5．细节理解题。由第五段第一句The student told USA TODAY that she referred to Callahan as a professor in the tweet because “the word teacher didn’t seem dignified enough to describe him.”(这位学生告诉《今日美国》说，她在推特上把卡拉汉称为教授，是因为“老师这个词似乎不够有尊严来形容他。”）可知，学生们用教授称呼Callahan，因为学生认为Callahan令人敬佩。故选C项。
6．推理判断题。由倒数第四段Within 24 hours, the tweet received over 300,000 likes and 93,000 Retweets.(在24小时内，这条微博收到了超过30万条赞和9.3万条转发)和倒数第三段第一句Some of the people who responded to the tweet applauded the professor’s interest in teenage culture, other made their own contribution to the list.(一些回复推特的人称赞教授对青少年文化的兴趣，另一些人则在榜单上做出了自己的贡献)可推知，人们非常喜欢Callahan创造“卡式Z代词典”。故选D项。
7．推理判断题。由倒数第二段“The typical teacher-student relationship involves a rigid power structure, but in my experience, I’ve found that students are more engaged and perform better if I am able to reach them where they are,” Callahan said. (“典型的师生关系涉及到一种严格的权力结构，但根据我的经验，我发现如果我能让学生们参与进来，并能更好地完成任务，那么他们就会表现得更好，”卡拉汉说)可推断出，Callahan努力的目的在于提高学生的学习效率。故选A项。

5.（2020届福建省厦门市高三一次质检）
Rising numbers of older adults are unable to care for themselves, often leading to serious health problems and even death, according to state and local government agencies. So-called self-neglect cases generally involve the inability to perform basic self-care, such as providing oneself with food, personal health, medication and safety.
Seniors who no longer drive, for instance, are often unable to get to medical appointments, worsening health problems that can make them unable to care for themselves. A fall can result in body injuries leaving one bedridden and unable to care for oneself. Failure to pay bills for public services could lead to service cutoffs. Forgetting to pay rent could lead to the loss of a home.
Mr. McCormack, 75 years old, and his wife, 71, both had mental illness and stayed in hospitals from time to time, unable to care for their possessions. Despite repeated visits to their home by local officials, the Mc-Cormacks declined assistance. But after they were found living in their car parked outside their house in December 2017, officials removed them from their home and helped them settle in a nursing home.
Self-neglect cases, like above, involved 144,296 people across the country in 2018, according to a report. The federal government doesn’t have comparable data for previous years, but several state and local service providers say they are seeing the self-neglect problem swell.
The reasons seniors stop caring for themselves vary, including illness, depression and poverty. The loss of the spouse or a neighbor who previously kept an eye on an individual often starts a decline into self-neglect, experts say. And the key to reducing self-neglect cases is providing services to enable seniors to remain in their homes safely, such as reliable transportation for medical appointments and shopping, as well as affordable home help.
4．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A．Give examples of self-neglect cases. B．Provide some advice for seniors.
C．Summarize the previous paragraph. D．Introduce a new topic for discussion.
5．What do we know about the Mc-Cormacks?
A．They longed for help from others.
B．They took good care of themselves.
C．They couldn’t afford to go to hospital.
D．They ended up living in the nursing house.
6．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Self-care Benefits Greatly the Seniors.
B．Self-Neglect Rises Among the Elderly.
C．Government’s Encouragement on Self-care.
D．Many Years’ Investigation on Self-Neglect.
7．What is the text most likely from?
A．A science fiction. B．A newspaper.
C．A guidebook. D．A fairy tale.
【答案】
4．A
5．D
6．B
7．B
【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了美国社会的自我忽视问题——越来越多的老年人无法照顾自己，常常导致严重的健康问题，甚至死亡。
4．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“So-called self-neglect cases generally involve the inability to perform basic self-care, such as providing oneself with food, personal health, medication and safety. ”可知，所谓的自我忽视案例通常涉及到无法进行基本的自我护理，如为自己提供食物、个人健康、药物和安全，再结合第二段内容，特别是第一句中的“for instance”可知，作者在第二段是想举几个老年人自我忽视的例子，故A项正确。
5．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But after they were found living in their car parked outside their house in December 2017, officials removed them from their home and helped them settle in a nursing home.”可知，但在2017年12月他们（麦科马克夫妇）被发现住在停在屋外的车里后，官员将他们从家中带走，并帮助他们在养老院安顿下来，故D项正确。
6．主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段中的“Rising numbers of older adults are unable to care for themselves, often leading to serious health problems and even death, according to state and local government agencies.”及“So-called self-neglect cases”可知，本文主要介绍了美国社会的自我忽视问题——越来越多的老年人无法照顾自己，常常导致严重的健康问题，甚至死亡，故B项正确。

Chinese-language teacher Xie Fang is excited that one of her former students from Indonesia has been admitted to Beijing Language and Culture University. The 19-year-old student, Alvin Rizqi Adrian, achieved his dream of studying in China with a scholarship provided by the Chinese government.
Xie met the boy five years ago when she was selected to teach Chinese at Budi Utama Three Languages National School in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The school, founded in 2006 by local Chinese, teaches in three languages - Indonesian, English and Chinese. The school has more than 970 primary, middle and high students, half of whom have Chinese ancestry.
Xie taught students to speak and comprehend Chinese during her year at the school. “Most Indonesian children start to learn Chinese after they enter primary school,” Xie said. “But the textbooks from Singapore seemed relatively difficult for them at that stage.” Xie modified the content of the textbooks to make it easier and more interesting for the Indonesian children to learn Chinese.
One student in particular, Alvin Rizqi Adrian, impressed Xie a great deal. “At that time, he was a middle school student. He was so interested in Chinese that he worked very hard to learn and practice,” she said. Since 2004, Guangdong has sent 1, 000 Chinese teachers to more than 30 Chinese schools in 10 countries and regions.
Indonesia has the largest number of Chinese teachers sent from Guangdong, who mainly work in kindergartens, schools and universities founded by overseas Chinese. They usually spend one to two years on the foreign assignment. 11 Those days in Indonesia made me feel very appreciated. The local people have respect for Chinese teachers; Xie said. She keeps in touch with her Indonesian students through the Internet. "If I had the opportunity to go to Indonesia to teach again, I would be very happy to see the children improve their Chinese,n Xie said.
4．What made the Chinese-language teacher Xie Fang happy?
A．She realized her dream to teach in Indonesia.
B．One of her former students will graduate soon.
C．She can serve overseas Chinese in 3 languages.
D．Alvin Rizqi Adrian has been admitted to study in China.
5．What does the underlined word “modified” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Beautified. B．Improved.
C．Invented. D．Studied.
6．We can infer that Adrian is special because he is ______.
A．practical B．sensitive
C．diligent D．reliable
7．Which of the following can be the best title of the news report?
A．Chinese Teacher Helps Indonesian Realize His Dream
B．Adrian, an Indonesian, Has Achieved His Big Dream
C．Chinese-language Teachers, Academic Achievements
D．Local Indonesians Show Respect for Chinese Teachers

5．词义猜测题。根据后文the content of the textbooks to make it easier and more interesting for the Indonesian children to learn Chinese.可知，使印尼孩子学习汉语更容易，更有趣。所以谢改进了教科书。根据上下文语境可知划线单词意思为“改进”。故选B。
6．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“At that time, he was a middle school student. He was so interested in Chinese that he worked very hard to learn and practice,” she said.可知“那时，他还是一名中学生。他对中文非常感兴趣，所以他非常努力地学习和练习，”她说。由此可推知，Adrian很特别，因为他很勤奋。故选C。
7．主旨大意题。根据第一段中The 19-year-old student, Alvin Rizqi Adrian, achieved his dream of studying in China with a scholarship provided by the Chinese government.可知19岁的Alvin Rizqi Adrian获得了中国政府提供的奖学金，实现了他在中国学习的梦想。结合文章主要说明了一位中文老师谢芳帮助名印尼学生实现了他在中国学习梦想的事情。文章介绍了这位老师教授印尼孩子学习中文的过程。故A选项“中文老师帮助印尼人实现梦想”符合文章标题，故选A。

10.（2020届河南省安阳市高三第二次模拟） Seattle is home to one of the busiest ports, so many visitors have a short window to crowd in as much sightseeing as possible before getting on a ship. Here are four attractions you can see in a rush.
Space Needle
Regular tickets for the Space Needle are $10 cheaper from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Order tickets in advance so you can go straight in line for the elevators. At the top, you can read fun facts about the Needle and interact with a huge, touchscreen “SkyPad”—- not to mention admiring incredible 360-degree views of the city.
Chihuly Garden and Glass
Located right next to the Space Needle, this exhibit features the work of Dale Chihuly. Walk through the Glasshouse to see one of his largest pieces: a 100-foot-long glass sculpture in colors of red, orange and yellow. Order your Space Needle and Chihuly tickets together for even more savings.
Pike Place Market
Just steps from the Space Needle, you can get on the bus to the famous Pike Place Market. Give yourself plenty of time to eat your way through this huge marketplace. Most places offer samples so you can try a wide variety of snacks before you buy.
Post Alley
Located under Pike Place Market, this street is home to Seattle’s stickiest attraction: the Gum Wall. This tradition started in the 1990s, when people waiting in line for Post Alley’s Market Theater would stick their chewed gum on the wall. Since then, thousands of others have added to the collection. The wall was swept clean in 2015, but you’d never know it now. It makes for a good photo opportunity—just don’t get too close.
1．What can you do at the Space Needle?
A．Taste some delicious snacks. B．Overlook the whole city of Seattle.
C．See a wonderful glass sculpture. D．Take the fastest elevators in the world.

1．细节理解题。根据文章Space Needle部分内容“At the top, you can read fun facts about the Needle and interact with a huge, touchscreen “SkyPad”—- not to mention admiring incredible 360-degree views of the city.( 在顶端，你可以阅读关于针塔的有趣事实，并与一个巨大的触摸屏“SkyPad”互动——更不用说欣赏不可思议的360度城市景观了。) ”可知在这里可以欣赏到城市全景。故选B项。
2．推理判断题。根据文章Chihuly Garden and Glass部分内容“Located right next to the Space Needle, this exhibit features the work of Dale Chihuly. Walk through the Glasshouse to see one of his largest pieces: a 100-foot-long glass sculpture in colors of red, orange and yellow.”可知，后句中提及的“his”应是指代前句中提及的Dale Chihuly，且后句中提到了“a 100-foot-long glass sculpture in colors of red, orange and yellow(一个100英尺长的玻璃雕塑，颜色有红色、橙色和黄色。)”应是他的作品，故可以推知Dale Chihuly应是一位艺术家。故选A项。

This tradition started in the 1990s, when people waiting in line for Post Alley’s Market Theater would stick their chewed gum on the wall.

11.（2020届河南省安阳市高三第二次模拟）
The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA)—a study of the test scores of 15-year-olds across 79 countries—showed that students in England performed significantly better in maths than 2015. PISA is conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) every three years, and assesses the performance of 15-year-olds mainly in reading, maths and science.
In England, the Government has prioritized（优先）climbing up the league tables in recent years. The latest tests were carried out last year, and showed that England was ranked 17 in the table for maths, up from 26 in 2015. Pupils in England also outperformed the OECD average in reading and science. On student well-being, 53 percent of 15-year-olds across the UK reported that they are satisfied with their lives—well below the 67 percent average across the OECD．
Taking the UK as a whole, while there was only a statistically significant improvement in maths, the country still improved its position relative to other countries across all three of the subjects tested by PISA．In reading, the UK was 14th, up from 22nd three years ago. In science the UK was 14th, up from 15th, and in maths the UK rose to 18th from 27th.
Across the rest of the league tables, East Asian countries like China and Singapore continued to be far superior. Today’s results also showed that Estonia outperformed all the major European economies.
However, Geoff Barton, the general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, cautioned against concluding too much from the findings. There are many educational and non-educational factors which affect performance and it is not easy to find how these have impacted on young people’s attainment in a set of tests. What is worrying, however, is that this analysis shows that fewer students in the UK are satisfied with their lives than the OECD average. It is clear that many young people feel under great pressure in a society in which the risks often seem very high to them in terms of achieving their goals.
12．Which aspect of England is under the average of the OECD?
A．Reading. B．Science.
C．Well-being. D．Maths.
13．Which statement agrees with the UK’ performance in PISA?
A．The UK did worse than before.
B．The UK progressed a little in PISA．
C．The UK hasn’t made any improvement.
D．The UK pulled well ahead of the rest countries.
14．Which of the following countries always holds a leading position in PISA?
A．China. B．Estonia. C．The UK. D．England.
15．What do the Geoff Barton’s words mean in the last paragraph?
A．The PISA results are unbelievable for educators.
B．Students in the UK are in need of more practice.
C．Education quality can’t be fully reflected only by PISA．
D．Young people take more risks of achieving their goals.
【答案】
12．C
13．B
14．A
15．C
【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了英国学生在国际学生评估项目中的表现，虽然教育质量不能仅仅通过PISA来全面反映，但是还是反映出了一些问题。
12．细节理解题。根据文章第二段末尾句内容“On student well-being, 53 percent of 15-year-olds across the UK reported that they are satisfied with their lives—well below the 67 percent average across the OECD.( 在学生幸福感方面，英国15岁的学生中有53%对自己的生活感到满意，远低于经合组织国家67%的平均水平。)”可知，在幸福感方面，英国低于经合组织的平均水平。故选C项。
13．细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“Taking the UK as a whole, while there was only a statistically significant improvement in maths, the country still improved its position relative to other countries across all three of the subjects tested by PISA.( 就英国整体而言，尽管在数学方面只有统计上的显著进步，但在PISA测试的所有三门课程中，英国相对于其它国家的排名仍有所提高。)”可知，英国在PISA项目上取得了一些进步。故选B项。
14．细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“Across the rest of the league tables, East Asian countries like China and Singapore continued to be far superior.( 在其它排行榜上，中国和新加坡等东亚国家继续遥遥领先。)”可知，中国在在PISA项目中一直处于领先地位。故选A项。
15．推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“There are many educational and non-educational factors which affect performance and it is not easy to find how these have impacted on young people’s attainment in a set of tests.( 有许多教育和非教育的因素影响表现，这是不容易在一套测试找到这些如何影响年轻人的成绩的)”可知，由于有各种因素影响，一套测试并不能完全体现学生的真实情况。选项C. Education quality can’t be fully reflected only by PISA.( 教育质量不能仅仅通过PISA来全面反映。)属于合理推理。故选C项。
12.（2020届湖南省衡阳市高三毕业班联考）
Sports fans around the world are struggling to reconcile with the sudden loss of American basketball icon Kobe Bryant. The 41-year-old died on January 26, 2020, when his private helicopter crashed into a hillside in Calabasas, California — about 30 miles away from Los Angele. The crash also killed eight other passengers including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna. The extremely heavy fog condition is believed to have been a major factor.
Bryant, who spent his entire 20-year-basketball career as a shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, was born in Philadelphia. The basketball star, who decided to turn professional after graduating from high school, was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the 13th overall pick, and then traded to the Lakers. At just 18 years old, he was the youngest player to be drafted in NBA history. The trade proved to be lucky for the Lakers. By his third year, Bryant had moved from being a reserve to the starting line-up. He had also firmly established himself as a star. In 2000, Bryant led the Lakers to their first NBA championship since 1988. The dream team continued to dominate the league for the next two years.
In addition to helping the Lakers win two additional NBA titles in 2009 and 2010, Bryant was also a member of the basketball team responsible for bringing home the Olympic Gold medals in 2008 and 2012. By the time he retired in 2016, the 18-time NBA All-Star had played a total of 1,560 games and scored an astounding 33,043 points — a record surpassed by only three players Kareem Abdul-Jabar (38,387), Karl Malone (36,928), and James (33,655) — in the NBA’s 73-year History.
Though there are many ways to honor Bryant, the best way to pay tribute to one of the greatest sports heroes of all time may be to follow his philosophy on life: “Life is too short to be discouraged. You have to keep moving. Put one foot in front of the other, smile, and just keep on rolling.”— Kobe Bryant, 2008.
12．According to the passage, what probably caused the accident?
A．Bad weather. B．Mechanical failure.
C．The operational error. D．High mountains.
13．What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A．Kobe Bryant turned professional player in high school.
B．Kobe Bryant was selected by the Charlotte Hornets at 16.
C．The Lakers won their first NBA championship in 2000.
D．Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA championship in 2002.
14．Which of the following is true of Kobe Bryant?
A．Kobe Bryant took part in the 2016 Olympic Games.
B．Kobe Bryant was the first NBA All-Star in history.
C．He helped the Lakers win five NBA championships.
D．Kobe Bryant was the first shooting guard in NBA history.
15．Who scored the most points in the NBA’s 73-year history?

16.（2020届江西省新余市高考二模）Guinness World Records Set by Kids
♦ The youngest club DJ
Oratilwe A J Hongwane likes putting in more efforts when playing music for a crowd. In 2012, he became the youngest club DJ—he was five when he played a one- hour set to 100 people at a bar in South Africa. Known in the business as DJ Arch Jnr, he broke the record previously held by a six-year-old in Japan.
♦The most viewed video game-unboxing video
Kids love watching someone unbox a new purchase—especially if it's something they can't get themselves. Maybe that's why more than 25 million people have watched YouTube HD．What's really cool about Evan is that he actually donates most of the toys to those in need. He also uses his popular YouTube channel to draw people's attention to worthy organizations for helping the poor.
♦The youngest drummer
The rules of Guinness World Records say a drummer must record a real song and be paid for his skills and that the drummer must give at least 20 concerts of 45 minutes or longer within five years. At the age of just four Julian Pavone met all those qualifications.
♦The fastest assembly (组装)of 10,000 Lego pieces and the longest Lego chain
A group of school kids in New Jersey went for their world records to increase public awareness about a fellow student who is suffering from a rare and deadly disease. The group put together 10,000 Lego pieces in just three hours, breaking the old one by five hours. They also set the record for the longest Lego chain, which ended up at 947 meters, beating the old record by 40.

Guest review
Sara P. 09/23/2019
My family and I went to Punta Senca for a week and it was fine. But just that——fine. I really was expecting something a little more special.

18.（2020届江西省重点中学协作体高三第一次联考）
Worried about the loss of rainforests and the ozone layer (臭氧层)? Well, neither of those is doing any worse than a large majority of the 6,000 to 7,000 languages that remain in use on Earth. One half of the survivors will almost certainly be gone by 2050, while 40% more will probably be well on their way out. In their place, almost all humans will speak a small number of languages——Mandarin, English, Spanish.
Linguists (语言学家) know what causes languages to disappear, but what’s less often remarked is what happens on the way to disappearance: languages’ vocabularies, grammars and expressive potential all disappear. “Say a community goes over from speaking a traditional Aboriginal（土著的） language to speaking a Creole,” says Australian Nick Evans, a language experts, “you leave behind a language where there’s very fine vocabulary for the landscape. All that is gone in a Creole. As speakers become less able to express the wealth of knowledge that has filled ancestors’ lives with meaning over thousands of years, it's no wonder that communities tend to become weakened.”
Due to the huge losses, some linguists struggle against the situation. In England, Peter Austin heads a programme that has trained many documentary linguists in England as well as in language-loss hotspots such as West Africa and South America.
However, not all approaches to the preservation of languages will be particularly helpful. Some linguists are boasting (自夸), for example, of more and more complicated means of recording languages: digital recording and storage, the Internet and mobile phone technologies. But these are encouraging the quick style of recording trip: fly in, switch on digital recorder, fly home, download to hard drive, and store gathered material for future research. That's not quite what some endangered-language experts have been seeking. Most vocal (直言不讳的) and untiring has been Michael Krauss from the University of Alaska. He has often complained that linguists are playing with technology research while most of their raw data is disappearing.
Who is to blame? Linguists who go out into communities to study, document and describe languages, argue that theoretical linguists, like Noam Chomsky, who draw conclusions about how languages work, have had so much influence that linguistics has largely ignored the continuing disappearance of languages.
12．Why does the author mention rainforests and the ozone layer in Paragraph 1?
A．To explain they are of great importance.
B．To prove they have connection with language loss.
C．To show anxiety about environmental issues is unfounded.
D．To stress the public should be equally concerned about languages.
13．What does Nick Evans say about Creole speakers?
A．They can’t express ideas which are part of their culture.
B．Getting practical information causes problems for them.
C．They have more potential to learn languages than most people.
D．Older and younger members of the community can’t communicate.
14．What has Michael Krauss pointed out?
A．Linguists’ popularity has decreased considerably.
B．Linguists are failing to record languages before they die out.
C．Linguists have made poor use of improvements in technology.
D．Linguists’ quick style of recording trip should be encouraged.
15．What can be concluded from the text?
A．By 2050 different languages will be developing well.
B．Local languages are preserved perfectly in West Africa.
C．Theoretical linguists may be to blame for the loss of languages.
D．Noam Chomsky is fond of working in communities to research.

13．细节理解题。根据“As speakers become less able to express the wealth of knowledge that has filled ancestors’ lives with meaning over thousands of years,”可知Nick Evans关于说克里奥耳语的人说到他们不能表达属于他们文化的想法。故选A。
14．细节理解题。根据“He has often complained that linguists are playing with technology research while most of their raw data is disappearing.”可知，Michael Krauss认为语言学家没能在语言消失之前记录语言。故选B。
15．推理判断题。根据最后一段内容，“Linguists argue that theoretical linguists have had so much influence that linguistics has largely ignored the continuing disappearance of languages.”可知，一些语言学家认为理论派的语言学家带来很大的影响以至于语言学家们忽略了语言在持续地消失。因此或许理论派的语言学家应该为语言的消失负责。故选C。
