30、 concerning is the potential for language loss that the National Science Foundation this year launched the Documenting Endangered Languages program to advance knowledge related to endangered human languages. The launch of the program is even more urgent given the fact that about half of all current

31、languages being used in the world have been classified at varying degrees of endangerment.At the University of Arizona, which is an important site for language preservation, a number of researchers are involved in activities meant to document endangered and lost languages. Others are working to help

32、 preserve languages classified as “moribimd, meaning that no children are learning their native languages as their first languages in their own homes.A number ofUA programs-some of them decades old-are dedicated to language preservation. Most recently, Christian Ruvalcaba, a graduate student, launch

33、ed “The Language Capital Project and is creating maps for a corresponding website to help nonnational language speakers to find and connect with one another.Languages allow people to create an identity fbr themselves and as munity members/* said Elizabeth Kickham, a visiting professor in the UA Depa

34、rtment of Linguistics. Language is so closely tied to culture； it not only reflects cultural practices, it is also influenced by them.

Identifying the Causes of Language LossDEyes are like a window into our thought processes. Recent studies have fou

40、nd that the eyes not only reflect what is happening in the brain but may also influence how we remember things.Researchers tracked volunteers* eye movements while they said a list of 40 numbers. They found that the direction and size of the participants1 eye movements accurately predicted whether th

41、e number they were about to say was bigger or smaller than the previous one-and by how much. Each volunteers gaze （凝视）shifted up and to the right just before they said a bigger number, and down and to the left before a smaller one. The bigger the shift from one side to the other, the bigger the diff

42、erence between the numbers.This suggests that we somehow link abstract number representations in the brain with movement in space. But the study does not tell us which es first： whether thinking of a particular number causes changes in eye position, or whether the eye position influences our mental

43、activity. Researchers in Sweden published evidence that ifs the latter that may be at work： eye movements may actually facilitate memory retrieval （记忆提取）.They asked each one of the 24 volunteers to carefully examine a series of objects displayed to them in one comer of a puter screen. The participan

44、ts were then told to listen to a series of statements about some of the objects they had seen, such as The car was facing to the leftn and asked to indicate as quickly as possible if each was true or false. Some participants were allowed to let their eyes move about freely； others were asked to fix

45、their gaze on a cross at the centre of the screen, or the corner where the object had appeared, fbr example.The researchers found that those who were allowed to move their eyes freely during recall performed significantly better than those who fixed on the cross. Interestingly, though, participants

46、who were told to fix their gaze in the comer of the screen in which objects had appeared earlier performed better than those told to fix their gaze in another comer. This suggests that the more closely the participants* eye movements during information encoding （编 码）corresponded with thosethat occur

47、red during retrieval of the information, the better they were at remembering the objects.32. If the previous number was 50, which is the most probable number when a participant looked up and right?A. 90.B. 50.C. 40.D. 30.33. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The way that eye movements take

48、 place.B. The way that memory retrieval takes place.C. The relationship between eye movements and numbers.D. The relationship between eye movements and mental activity.34. What does the underlined word “those in the last paragraph refer to?A. The objects.B. The comers.C. The participants.D. The eye movements.35. Why did the Swedish researchers conduct the study?A. To find ways to improve a person*s memory.B. To test the influence of eye movements on memory.C. To test the ef
