四、阅读理解
There are about 6000languages spoken in the world, but a UN report says that at least 43% of these
languages are dying out.
This has many reasons. One is that some communities of native speakers of the languages are gone. These
people sometimes leave their communities and move to cities or towns.
What's more, to get better education and jobs, young people have to learn dominant (占优势的) languages,
such as English and French.
Once a language dies, it seldom comes back to life. Governments around the world are taking action to
prevent this.
In New Zealand, the government has said it wants more than 20% of its people to be able to speak Maori (毛
利语) by2040. And it plans to provide Maori lessons in all New Zealand schools by 2025.
China is also trying to protect its languages. About 130 languages are spoken in China, more than the number
of ethnic groups (民 族) in the country. In 2015, the government started a project to record all the languages
spoken in China. Universities like Minzu University of China have set up minority language majors (少数民族语
言专业) for their students.
1. At least ________ languages are in danger of dying out according to the UN report.
A. 2 580. B. 3 420. C. 4 300. D. 6 000.
2. According to the passage, why might a language disappear (消失) ?
A. Because no one speaks it in cities. B. Because it is too difficult to learn.
C. Because it is used less in daily life. D. Because schools don't have lessons for it.
3. What does the underlined word "this"in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The learning of dominant languages. B. The death of some languages.
C. The actions to save languages in danger. D. Endangered languages 'coming back to life.
4. What do we know from the last two paragraphs?
A. Languages are disappearing fast in New Zealand. B. All New Zealand schools have already given Maori
lessons.
C. 130 languages are endangered in China. D. Making recordings is a way to protect languages.
