14、是每颗星星都那么明亮”符合文章标题。B(2020湖北襄阳四中3月检测，C)Does it matter if a language dies out? The traditional answer is yes, because every language is a repository(智囊) of ideas and culture and represents a unique way of looking at the world. The planet only has about 7,000 languages；the extinction of even one decreas

15、es the sum total of human knowledge.But in some cases, extinction can be seen in a more positive light. Take AlSayyid Bedouin Sign Language (ABSL) for example, restricted to about 1,000 users in a small Israeli village with a high level of born deafness, the language seems to be bound to die by the

16、spread of Israeli Sign Language.The natural reaction to the loss of ABSL is regret. It is a fascinating language that has kept linguists busy since it came to their attention around 15 years ago. But for the deaf villagers，Israeli Sign Language is an upgrade：it allows them to speak to tens of thousa

17、nds of people rather than a few hundred, and enables them to work and marry outside the village. It is hard to see that as anything other than progress. Similarly，other endangered languages die out because people abandon them in favor of ones that serve their needs better.Technology also softens the

18、 blow, as endangered languages can now be captured in detailwhich also means they could eventually be brought back from the dead, much as the Hebrew language was in the 19th century. It is now the first language of 9 million people.Linguists naturally condemn the loss of language much as conservatio

19、nists (环保主义者) once mourned the loss of every single species. But they are moving towards acceptance that not all species can be saved, that invasive species are not always bad and that humanengineered ecosystems are not necessarily inferior to natural ones. Perhaps our attitudes to language extincti

20、on are due for a similar change.【语篇解读】本文为说明文，主要介绍了在语言濒临灭绝的时候，人们的本能反应是感到惋惜，毕竟每一门语言都是文化和思想的体现，是观察世界的一种独特方式，每消失一种语言就会使人类知识的总量减少一点儿。然而，在有些情况下，我们可以以积极的态度看待语言的消亡。5What can we infer about ABSL?AAnother language replaced it.BIt is an endangered language.CDeaf villagers prefer to use it.DIt has been studied

21、for over 15 years.B推理判断题。根据第二段可知，ABSL手语大约有1 000人使用，并且由于以色列手语的传播，它似乎注定会灭亡，所以ABSL是濒危语言，故选B项。6What does the underlined word “upgrade” in Paragraph 3 mean?ARecovery.BOpportunity.CImprovement.DUpdate.C词义猜测题。根据画线词后的内容可知，以色列手语让耳聋的村民们可以与更多的人交流，并且能够让他们在村子外面找到工作以及与外面的人联姻。即以色列手语比ABSL手语更能满足人们的需求；再结合后文提到的“anythi

22、ng other than progress”可推出画线词意为“改善”。故选C项。7How does technology affect languages?ATechnology can remove peoples regret.BLanguages may be rescued from extinction.CTechnology increases the number of endangered languages.DEndangered languages might be abandoned because of technology.B推理判断题。根据第四段可知，技术可以帮助

23、复活濒危语言。故选B项。8Whats the main idea of the text?AMore and more languages are dying out.BTechnology creates some new languages.CPeople feel ashamed of language extinction.DLanguage extinction is not necessarily a bad thing.D主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了人们可以从积极的一面去看待濒危语言。一方面濒危语言被能更好地服务于人们的语言代替，这是一种进步；另一方面科技也可以让某些濒危语言复活，

24、因此人们对待语言灭绝的态度应当改变，因为它未必是件坏事。故选D项。.完形填空(2020广东广州3月阶段训练改编)Throughout my life, I was never very athletic. I wasnt really into 1 ，sports or conflict.
