33．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 was still populated by hunter﹣gatherers，small（联系）groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10，000 years ago，they spoke perhaps 12，000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards，many of those people started setting down to become farmers，and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number.In recent centuries，industrialisation，the development of the nation﹣state and the spread of universal compulsory education，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.The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven.The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages，while hot，wet zones have lots；the Americas about 1，000，400；and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.The median number of speakers is mere 6，000
Already well over 400 of the total of 6，800 languages are close to extinction （消亡），with only a few elderly speakers left.Pick，Busuu in Cameroon （eight remaining speakers），Chiapaneco in Mexico （150）（two or three） or Wadjgu in Australia （one，with a question﹣mark）：none of these seems to have much chance of survival.

（1）What can we infer （推断） about languages in hunter﹣ gatherer times？ 　 　
A.They developed very fast
B.They were large in number
C.They had similar patterns
D.They were closely connected
（2）Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？ 　 　
A.Interesting.
B.Useful.
C.Powerful.
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 underlined word "these" in paragraph 4 refers to 　 　.
A.languages close to extinction
B.a few elderly speakers
C.people in Mexico
D.people in Australia
（5）What is the main idea of the text？ 　 　
A.New languages will be created.

34．In order to succeed in language learning，you need to have a lot of motivation（动力）.（1）　 　
I lost a bit of motivation in my language learning recently.For me，I think it was because of the fact that the better I got，the more I realized I didn't know!When you're a beginner at learning a language（2）　 　 This can lead to demotivation（消极怠工）.And there are many other reasons why you might lose motivation too.
However，I really want to continue my language learning，so I'm beginning to rediscover my motivation.So here is my advice if you share the same problem：
●Think back to why you started learning the language. （3）　 　Writing down these reasons will help you reflect on and remember why.You might even come up with some new reasons too!
●Have a look back at your old work.（4）　 　Remember how little you knew when you were just a beginner？Hopefully seeing your progress will make you realize how far you have come，and how much better you will get if you keep learning more!
●（5）　 　Sometimes doing the same old thing，like memorizing words after words，can be really boring.
Try to find a new activity which will make things interesting again.Why not make a mind map with pictures and colors to help you learn new words？
A.Try something new.
B.However，sometimes we may find that it is gone.
C.You will probably see a great change in your ability.
