Languages have been cming and ging fr thusands f years, but in recent times there has been less cming and a lt mre ging. When the wrld was still ppulated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly cnnected grups develped their wn patterns f speech independent f each ther. Sme language experts believe that 10,000 years ag, when the wrld had just five t ten millin peple, they spke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Sn afterwards, many f thse peple started settling dwn t becming farmers, and their languages became mre settled and fewer in number, t. In recent centuries, trade, industrializatin, the develpment f the natin-state and the spread f universal cmpulsry (强制的) educatin, especially glbalizatin and better cmmunicatins in the past few decades, all have caused many languages t disappear, and dminant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking ver.
At present, the wrld has abut 6,800 languages. The distributin (分布) f these languages is hugely uneven (不均衡). The general rule is that mild znes have relatively few languages, ften spken by many peple, while ht, wet znes have lts, ften spken by small numbers. Eurpe has nly arund 200 languages; the America abut 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, f which Papua New Guinea alne accunts fr well ver 800. The median number (中位数) f speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the wrld’s languages are spken by fewer peple than that.
Already well ver 400 f the ttal f 6,800 languages and clse t disappear, with nly a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at randm, Busuu in Camern(eight remaining speakers), Chiapanec in Mexic(150), Lipan Apache in the United States (tw r three) r Wadjigu in Australia(ne, with a questin-mark): nne f these seems t have much chance f survival.
12. What can we infer abut languages in hunter-gatherer times?
A. They develped very fast.B. They were large in number.
C. They had similar patterns.D. They were clsely cnnected.
13. Which f the fllwing best explains “dminant” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Difficult.B. Advanced.C. PwerfulD. Mdern.
14. Hw many languages are spken by less than 6,000 peple at present?
A. Abut 6,800.B. Abut 3,400.C. Abut 2,400.D. Abut 1,200.
15. What is the main idea f the text?
A. New languages will be created.B. Peple’s lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C. Human develpment results in fewer languages.D. Gegraphy determines language evlutin.
