12．As more and more people speak the global languages of English，Chinese，Spanish，and Arabic，other languages are rapidly disappearing．In fact，half of the 6，000～7，000languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century，according to the United Nations Educational，Scientific，and Cultural Organization （UNESCO）．
In an effort to prevent language loss，scholars from a number of organizations-UNESCO and National Geographic among them-have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect．
Mark Turin，a scientist at the Macmillan Centre，Yale University，who specializes in the languages and  oral traditions of the Himalayas，is following in that_tradition．His recently published book，A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture，grows out of his experience living，working，and raising a family in a village in Nepal．
Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin，who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India，Nepal，Bhutan，and China．But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record．
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials-including photographs，films，tape recordings，and field notes-which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection．
Now，through the two organizations that he has founded-the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project-Turin has started a campaign to make such documents，found in libraries and stores around the world，available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected．Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet，Turin notes，the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities．
64．What does"that tradition"in Paragraph 3refer to？A
A．Having full records of the languages．
B．Writing books on language teaching．
C．Telling stories about language users．
 D．Living with the native speakers．
65．What is Turin's book based on？D
A．The cultural studies in India．
B．The documents available at Yale．
C．His language research in Bhutan．
D．His personal experience in Nepal．
66．Which of the following best describes Turin's work？C
A．Write，sell and donate．
B．Record，repair and reward．
C．Collect，protect and reconnect．
D．Design，experiment and report．

分析 本文是一篇記敘文．?dāng)⑹隽藢W(xué)者們正在努力記錄瀕臨消失的語言和文化，來挽救這些語言．耶魯大學(xué)的科學(xué)家Mark Turin專門研究喜馬拉雅山的語言和口述傳統(tǒng)，并他根據(jù)自己在尼泊爾一個(gè)村莊的生活經(jīng)歷寫了一本書．他不只是滿足把這些語言在滅絕前記錄下來，他要把他們挽救下來，和現(xiàn)在的語言進(jìn)行重新的連接．

解答 64．A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第一段But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record．可知這些語言在沒有記錄前就要消失了，所以這些學(xué)者對(duì)這些語言做的是最早的記錄．故選A．
65．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第四段His recently published book，A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture，grows out of his experience living，looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal．可知他的書是根據(jù)他在尼泊爾一個(gè)村莊的生活經(jīng)歷寫的．故選D．
66．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章最后一段Generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected．和Turin notes，the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities．可知Turin的作品是從最初的材料上進(jìn)行的收集，他的作品使瀕臨危險(xiǎn)的語言得到了保護(hù)，并且與言語重新連接．因此對(duì)他的作品做好的描述是具有收集，保護(hù)和重新連接的作用．故選C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

2．The Lionfish Invasion!
Lionfish are popular saltwater aquarium（水族箱） fish all over the world，especially in the United States．Nowadays，they also live in Atlantic waters off the East Coast of the United States．These lionfish are what scientists call an invasive（侵入的） species（物種） or an"alien invader．"
Local divers off the coast of North Carolina were not expecting to see what they found one day in August 2002-the beautiful lionfish，common to the warm waters of the western Pacific，but unknown of the Carolina coast．They provided the first solid evidence that lionfish were in the Atlantic．
A year later，scientists documented 19lionfish sightings at eight locations along the North Carolina continental shelf．Then，lionfish were observed off the coasts of Florida，Georgia，and South Carolina，and even as far north as Long Island，New York!Between 2000and 2003，lionfish sightings were reported at 16different shipwrecks and natural hard bottom locations．During a summer 2004research expedition，NOAA（The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration） scientists collected 155lionfish at 19different locations off the North Carolina coast alone．The jump in numbers and distributions over such a short time strongly indicates that the lionfish is reproducing in the Atlantic Ocean．If this is true，it's the first time that a western Pacific fish has populated the U．S．Atlantic coast．
These lionfish were likely released on purpose when people no longer wanted them!The swift and warm Gulf Stream，which transported the floating lionfish eggs from Florida northward，helped the lionfish's Atlantic journey．In Florida waters and along the continental shelf near the Gulf Stream the temperatures are very similar to the lionfish's native waters．
However，from north Florida upward，the waters along the coastline are too cold in the winter for lionfish to survive．Scientists expect them to survive the winter only at water depths greater than 120ft because this is where the Gulf Stream has influence all year long．Very importantly，the types of predators（食肉動(dòng)物） and competitors present in the Atlantic are very different from the native range of the lionfish．Generally，the lionfish have not been found to endanger marine ecosystems because they were not likely to survive long．

63．Scientists call the lionfish an"alien invader"because the lionfishC．
A．have damaged the native species
B．a(chǎn)re able to live in a new environment
C．came from one place and spread to another
D．will attack other species with their poisonous teeth
64．How does the author support the reproducing of lionfish in the Atlantic in Para.3？B
A．By analyzing causes．
B．By providing figures．
C．By raising questions．
D．By expressing opinions．
65．Which of the following is the main idea of the passage？D
A．Lionfish got into the Atlantic Ocean in 2002．
B．Lionfish will not live long in the new environment．
C．Lionfish is a popular aquarium fish in the United States．
D．Lionfish has been populating the waters of the Atlantic Ocean．
66．What is the author's attitude towards the lionfish invasion？C
A．Serious．B．Disapproving．C．Optimistic．D．Indifferent．

15．How did the sea horse get its name？It's not hard to guess．The top half of this fish looks like a small horse．But looking at the sea horse's tail，you might think"sea monkey"is a better name．Then there's the sea horse's pouch （育兒袋）．"Sea kangaroo"might also be a good name for this fish．
    Sea horses live in warm ocean waters all over the world．They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea．They can also change colors to match their surroundings．A sea horse remains in one place for hours at a time by winding its tail around a plant．It feeds on live food，such as small shrimp．For a fish that doesn't move around much，the sea horse eats a lot-in just one day，a sea horse can eat 3，000 shrimp!
A sea horse keeps the same mate for its whole life，and it's the male sea horse that gives birth to baby sea horses．How does this happen？Baby sea horses start out as eggs，which come from the female's body．The male carries the eggs in its pouch for about three weeks until they hatch．Soon after the babies are born，the female gives her mate a new set of eggs．
    Sadly，the number of sea horses is becoming smaller．Why is this happening？Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land．Also，many sea horses are caught and sold as aquarium fish．This really is not a good idea because most sea horses don't live long in aquariums．The best place for a sea horse is the ocean．
60．The sea horse got its name because of itsB
A．skin          B．head         C．pouch            D．tail
61．We can learn from the text that sea horsesC
A．like to move around               B．live in cold ocean waters
C．feed on small live shrimp         D．change colors with the temperature
62．What does a female sea horse do with her eggs？D
A．She hatches them．
B．She hides them in sea grasses．
C．She carries them around．
D．She puts them in the male's pouch．
63．Why is the number of sea horses becoming smaller？B
A．Because they grow at a very low speed．
B．Because their homes are being destroyed．
C．Because they are killed by people for food．
D．Because their food is becoming less and less．
