She smiled, “I wanted to thank you for the tomatoes, and I have to admit I took a few other things too.”Sharon couldnt think of anything else that had been worth harvesting.“Oh, but you did,” the neighbor said.“You had some of the prettiest zucchini Ive ever seen.”Sharon was confused.

In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages 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 Center, 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 - 9 - / 20Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans 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, tap 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.- 10 - / 2012.Many scholars are making efforts to _.A.promote global languagesB.rescue the disappearing languagesC.search for language communitiesD.set up language research organizations.13.What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Having first records of the languagesB.Writing books on language searching C.Telling stories about language usersD.Linking with the native speakers14.What is Turins book based on?A.The cultural statics in India.B.The documents available at Yale.C.His language research in Britain.D.His personal experience in Nepal.15.Which of the following best describes Turins Work?A.Write, sell and donate.B.Record, repeat and reward.C.Collect, protect and reconnect.D.Design, experiment and report.第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 3 3 分，满分分，满分 1515 分）分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。- 11 - / 20选项中有两项为多余选项。HowHow toto MakeMake a a ChineseChinese HotpotHotpotEating a Chinese hotpot is a very common experience.
