B．Advanced.C．Powerful. D．Modern.答案：C解析：词义揣测题。依据其次段中的“...allhavecausedmanylanguagestodisappear，anddominantlanguagessuchasEnglish，SpanishandChineseareincreasinglytakingover.”可知，人类社会发展的很多因素导致很多语言消逝，而渐渐被如英语、西班牙语、汉语等语言取代，这就示意出这些语言是“占优势的”，故选C项。powerful强大的，有影响力的；complex困难的；advanced先进的；modern现代的。3．Howmanylanguagesarespokenbylessthan6,000peopleatpresent?A．About6,800. B．About3,400.C．About2,400. D．About1,200.答案：B解析：数字计算题。依据第三段中的“Atpresent，theworldhasabout6,800languages.”可知，目前世界上有大约6800种语言；再依据“Themediannumber(中位数)ofspeakersisamere6,000，whichmeansthathalftheworld'slanguagesarespokenbyfewerpeoplethanthat.”可知，目前世界上一半的语言的运用人数少于6000，也就是说有大约3400种语言的运用人数少于6000。4．Whatisthemainideaofthetext?A．Newlanguageswillbecreated.B．People'slifestylesarereflectedinlanguages.C．Humandevelopmentresultsinfewerlanguages.D．Geographydetermineslanguageevolution.答案：C解析：主旨大意题。文章介绍了语言的种类随着人类社会的发展而渐渐削减这一现象，故C项概括全面。A项混淆黑白，文章介绍的是语言的削减而不是新语言的创建。B、D两项无中生有，文中没有提到人们的生活方式会反映到语言上，也没有提到地理确定语言的发展。Ⅲ.读后续写Amancamehomefromworklate,tiredandirritated(不耐烦的),tofindhis5­year­oldsonwaitingforhimatthedoor.“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(皱巴巴的)bills.留意：1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。答案Paragraph1：Theman,seeingthattheboyalreadyhadmoneystartedtogetangryagain.“Howcanyoubesoselfish?Whydoyouwantmoremoneys
