剑桥雅思4 Test 2阅读Passage 1解析第1题答案:isolation
对应原文:第3段:Isolation breeds linguistic diversity: as a result, the world is peppered with languages spoken by only a few people.
解析:从6800往下找,根据variety和diversity,came about和breed的对应确定句子。从题干中可以推断空上填名词,而且是造成语言多样性的原因,因此确定答案为isolation.
第2题答案:economic globalization/socio-economic pressures
对应原文:第5段:the deadliest weapon is not government policy but economic globalisation. ‘Native Americans have not lost pride in their language, but they have had to adapt to socio-economic pressures,’
解析:根据government定位到第5段,intiative与policy对应,而空上填的又是与initiative并列的词汇,因此确定答案为economic globlisation
第3题答案:cultural identity
对应原文:第7段:But a growing interest in cultural identity may prevent the direst predictions from coming true.
解析:题干中句子意思是说阻止语言灭绝的因素,文中第7段开始讨论这一问题。根据increasing与growing,appreciation与interest的对应确定句子,进而锁定答案。
第4题答案:traditional skill
对应原文:第7段:Volunteer ‘apprentices’ pair up with one of the last living speakers of a Native American tongue to learn a traditional skill such as basket weaving, with instruction exclusively in the endangered language.
解析:根据apprentice和instruction定位到具体的句子。根据题干推测空上应该文章来自老烤鸭雅思填某种知识或技能,而learn和teach对应,由此确定答案为traditional skills
第5题答案:E
对应原文:第7段:Doug Whalen … Most of these languages will not survive without a large degree of bilingualism
解析:bilingualism指的是双语,与题目中的more than one language对应,unless与without,save与survive对应,由此确定答案。
第6题答案:B
对应原文:第7段:But Mufwene says that preventing a language dying out is not the same as giving it new life by using it every day
解析:文中指出阻止语言灭绝与让他重焕新生是不一样的事情,即保护语言免除灭绝之外还有更高的目标,因此确定答案为B。
第7题答案:D
对应原文:第6段:Pagel … The patterns and connections we make among various concepts may be structured by the linguistic habits of our community.
解析:原文中相当于详细解释了一下the way we think,determined与structured同义替换,题干中的每个信息点在句子中都能找到对应,由此确定答案。
第8题答案:C
对应原文:第4段:Nicholas Ostler … When the next generation reaches their teens, they might not want to be induced into the old traditions.
解析:全文中只有第4段提到了年轻人的问题,很容易定位。established way of life又与tradition对应,因此确定答案为C
第9题答案:B
对应原文:第6段:‘If a person shifts from Navajo to English, they lose something,’ Mufwene says.
解析:文中提到语言跟文化联系在一起,一个人改换语言也会造成某种东西的丢失。其中change与shift对应,因此确定答案为B
第10题答案:No
对应原文:第3段:Navajo is considered endangered despite having 150,000 speakers.
解析:纳瓦霍语仍然有150000名使用者,一点都不少。而且原文中用的是despite,即尽管这么多人用,但仍然可能灭绝。这点跟题干完全相反,因此确定答案为NO。
第11题答案:YES
对应原文:第三段:Navajo is considered endangered despite having 150,000 speakers. What makes a language endangered is not just the number of speakers…
解析:仍然是同一句话,文中用了具体的例子来说明哪怕使用人很多,语言仍然可能消失。与题干中的信息完全对应,因此答案为YES
第12题答案:NOT GIVEN
对应原文:无
解析:文章中第5段确实提到了政府。但是说的是政府政策促进了一些语言的灭绝。并没有提到政府应该怎么做。因此为NOT GIVEN。切不可自己推断,觉得政府既然有责任,就应该做的
