5、ound 200 languages；the Americas about 1,000； Africa 2,400；and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.The median number(中位数)of speakers is a mere 6,000，which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well o
6、ver 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡)，with only a few elderly speakers left.Pick，at random，Busuu in Cameroon(eight remaining speakers)，Chiapaneco in Mexico(150)， Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three)or Wadjigu in Australia(one，with a questionmark)：none of thes
7、e seems to have much chance of survival.【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界上语言的种类随着人类社会的发展而逐渐减少这一现象。1What can we infer about languages in huntergatherer times?AThey developed very fast.BThey were large in number.CThey had similar patterns.DThey were closely connected.【答案】 B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Some language experts b
8、elieve that 10,000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten million people，they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.”可知，一些语言专家认为，一万年前，当世界上只有 500 万到 1 000 万人时，他们之间可能说 12 000 种语言。由此可推断，采猎文明时期的语言种类很多。A 项曲解文意，文中提到采猎文明时期语言很多，但这不代表语言发展快。C、D 两项颠倒是非，根据第一段中 small，tightly knit groups developed th
9、eir own patterns of speech independent of each other 可知，这些语言是相互独立的，不具有相似模式，语言间也没有密切联系。2Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?AComplex. BAdvanced.CPowerful. DModern.【答案】 C 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“.all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as Eng
10、lish，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.”可知，人类社会发展的很多因素导致许多语言消失，而逐渐被如英语、西班牙语、汉语等语言取代，这就暗示出这些语言是“占优势的”，故选 C 项powerful(强大的，有影响力的)。complex 复杂的；advanced 先进的；modern 现代的。3How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?AAbout 6,800. BAbout 3,400.CAbout 2,400. DAbout 1,200.
11、【答案】 B 数字计算题。根据第三段中的“At present，the world has about 6,800 languages.”可知，目前世界上有大约 6 800 种语言；再根据“The median number of speakers is a mere 6,000，which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.”可知，目前世界上一半的语言的使用人数少于 6 000，也就是说有大约 3 400 种语言的使用人数少于 6 000。4What is the main id
12、ea of the text?ANew languages will be created.BPeoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.CHuman development results in fewer languages.DGeography determines language evolution.【答案】 C 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逐渐减少这一现象，故 C 项概括全面。A 项颠倒是非，文章介绍的是语言的减少而不是新语言的创造。 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

32、一名优秀的演说家。1【答案】 terribly 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，“terrible” 在句中用来修饰形容词“shy”，需用其副词形式。故填 terribly。2【答案】 staring 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，“stare”在句中作“eyes” 的后置定语，且与其逻辑主语“eyes” 之间为主动关系。故填 staring。3【答案】 choice 考查词性转换。根据“no other”可知，空格处需用“choose”的名词形式；根据 “no other名词单数” 结构可知，应填 choice。4【答案】 lay 考查动词的时态。分析句子结构可知，“lie”在句中作谓语

34、 the audience applauding”可知，本句句意为“他成功了”。make it 是固定习语，意为“获得成功”。故填 it。8【答案】 built 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，本句考查“with宾语补语”结构。因为本结构中宾语“confidence”与其补语之间是被动关系，并且补语动作已经发生，故应填过去分词 built。9【答案】 success 考查词性转换。在固定短语“on ones way to”中“to”为介词，所以此处填名词 success。10【答案】 more 考查比较级。分析句子结构可知，本句使用了“the比较级，the 比较级”的结构，意为“越，就越”，
35、故填more，构成“likely”的比较级。.书面表达(2016河北衡水中学二模 )假如你是李华，你的美国网友 Mike 最近因学习压力太大患上了轻度的焦虑症(anxiety disorders)，写信向你求助。请你用英文给他回一封信，就如何处理压力给他一些建议。注意：1.词数 100 左右；2信的开头和结尾已给出，但不计入总词数。Dear Mike，I am sorry to hear that you are suffering from anxiety disorders due to that great stress of studying._I hope you will find
