26、   There are about 6,000 languages that are spoken around the world. But 43 percent of these languages are dying out, according to UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization，联合国教科文组织).If no action is taken，some of these languages will become extinct (灭绝的).

Languages become endangered for many reasons. One is that some communities of native speakers of the endangered languages no longer exist (存在)，HuffPost reported. These people leave their communities and move to cities or towns.

In addition，the languages of “dominant (占主导地位的）” cultures may drive other languages into extinction. To get better education and jobs, young people have to focus their attention on learning dominant languages rather than their own languages. Dominant languages include English，French and Mandarin (普通话).

Once a language dies, it rarely conies back to life. Governments across the globe are taking action to prevent this. In September, the US state of Alaska announced that the loss of indigenous (土著的）languages was an“emergency”(紧急事件). It is now working to give new life to such languages, Quartz reported.

In New Zealand，the government has said it wants over 20 percent of the country’s population to be able to speak Maori, an indigenous language, by 2040. It plans to provide Maori lessons in all New Zealand schools by 2025, The New York Times reported.

China is also trying to protect its languages. About 130 languages are spoken in China, even more than the number of ethnic groups in the country. In 2015, the government started a project to record all the languages spoken in China, Xinhua reported. Universities like Minzu University of China have created minority language majors (专业）for their students.

【1】How many languages worldwide are in danger of dying out?

A. About 2,580 languages. B. About 3,420 languages.

C. About 4,300 languages. D. About 6,000 languages.

【2】According to the story, why might a language go extinct?

A. Because no one wants to speak it.

B. Because it is too difficult to learn.

C. Because it is used less in daily life.

D. Because schools don5t offer lessons for it

【3】What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. The learning of dominant languages.

C. Action taken to save the languages.

D. The movement of giving new life to the languages.

27、In early November of 1503, during Christopher Columbus’ fourth and final trip to America, his ship was seriously damaged in a storm. Columbus and his men had to live on a small island for several months while they tried to repair their ship and return to Spain.

At first, the local people on the island were very kind to the European visitors, giving them all the food and clothes they needed to survive. However, as the months passed, the local people became more and more unhappy with their guests, who were tricking and stealing from them. Finally the locals decided to stop helping. Without food or any way to leave the island, Columbus’ group was soon in serious trouble.

Luckily for Columbus, he had a book about the stars and planets on his ship. It described the movements of all the objects in the night sky. The book, written by a well-known German scientist, said there would be a total lunar eclipse (月食) on the evening of February 29, 1504 and how long it would last.

Columbus worked out the difference in time between Germany and North America. He then had a meeting with the local leaders just before the eclipse would take place. In this meeting, Columbus told them his god was angry because the local people were no longer giving food. So his god would take away the moon to punish them. At the moment Columbus finished talking, just as he had planned, the moon began disappearing.

The local leaders grew frightened and quickly agreed to provide Columbus with food and anything else he wanted. But first, Columbus’ god had to return the moon. Columbus told them he would have to discuss the idea with his god on his ship. Knowing the moon would stay completely hidden for about 48 minutes, Columbus returned just before the moon began to reappear. From that day on, until they finally

left, Columbus and his men no longer had any trouble getting the food they needed.

【1】At first, the local people helped Columbus and his men by__________.

A. giving them food

B. building a house for them

C. repairing their ship

D. providing them with a book

【2】The local people became angry because the Europeans__________.

A. looked very different

B. had nothing to trade

C. were cheats and thieves

D. wanted to take their land

【3】What did Columbus do after returning to his ship on the night of the meeting?

A. He discussed the problem with his god.

B. He waited for the eclipse to finish.

C. He read about the stars and planets.

D. He told his men what happened.

【4】What can we learn about the Europeans from the passage?

A. They all believed in god.

B. They never returned to Spain.

C. They admired the local people.

D. They caused their own problems.
