be useful in your whole life. knowing how to spell makes any kind of writing easier. sometimes the subject that you think is going to be uninteresting will be exciting when you begin to work at it and understand it more clearly. learning things can be fun if you are willing to work with them. heres some advice for you: have a certain time each day and a quiet place with good lighting for study, so

languages that wouldnt exist any longer, much like endangered species of plants or animals. languages are considered to be endangered when parents are no longer teaching the language to their children and are not using it actively in everyday life. a language is considered to nearly disappear when it is spoken by only a few elderly native speakers.the world faces enormous challenges in order to protect different kinds of languages. of the more than 6,912 languages, half may be in danger of disappearing in the next several decades.it is caused by many reasons: small numbers of speakers, the regular use of other languages, attitudes towards their languages, moving of the younger population, government policies, and languages used in education and so on. a language may lack important things such as a body of literature, and people who read and write it. a language may also lack prestige (声望) and support of its speakers.the survival of a language is also threatened when speakers move to other areas where different languages are spoken, or when government policies improve the use of a specific language in school, official business and the media. these situations encourage people to learn the wider-known language and may cause them, especially the young, to stop using their mother tongue. often those speaking lesser-known languages will choose to learn a more prestigious language with the hope of greater economic opportunities. most of the worlds parents are teaching their children english, french, spanish, chinese, arabic, russian or some other main languages instead of their own languages for social and economic reasons.61.whats the main idea of this passage?alanguages in the world. breasons why languages become endangered.cwhat an endangered

about languages are true except _.amany languages will be probably endangered in this centurybgovernment policies have a big effect on languagescthe endangered language is a language that is spoken by a few peopledlanguages are related to their speakers social and economic position cthe internationa1 space station allows astronauts to live in space for extended amounts of time, enabling them to explore the outside universe and conduct many experiments. however, nothing like that exists for our oceans, and thanks to the high water pressure, ocean researchers are able to explore what lies undersea for very short periods of time.they are therefore never able to fully explore the deep inside areas of our oceans. however, if french architect jacques rougerie has his way, that will change soon.jacques has designed a ship that will allow researchers to spend a long period of time observing the sea life and conducting experiments. the huge l67ft. ship, named sea orbiter, consists of two areasone above the water where the scientists and crew will live, and a lower pressurized deck (甲板), where scientists will be able to spend as much time as they wish. since it is powered by sea currents and wind, he expects it to drift (漂流) along the oceans slowly, taking about two years to circumvent the globe.jacques will make their life as comfortable as possible in the ship. besides being equipped with the latest sailing tools and communication equipment, the ship will also have a gym, a television and a dvd player! and these guys will not be eating freeze-dried food like astronauts. instead, jacques, an accomplished chef, plans on cooking them delicious meals every day.the biggest problem to this giant ship is the cost, which is expected to be over $500 millionper ship! however, jacques, who strongly believes that the secrets of our oceans may be the key to solving global warming and a vital supply for food and medicine in the future, is confident he will be able to convince governments all over the world to help out, and expects to start construction on not one, but four or five of these amazing ships soon!66. why cant ocean researchers explore the deep oceans for a long time?a. because they cant stand the high water pressure.b. because its too cold in deep ocean.c. because time for experiments is too limited.d. because its dangerous to observe the sea life.67. the underlined word “circumvent ” probably means .a. fly away b. go around c. travel through d. move into68. from the fourth paragraph we can learn that .a. jacques intends to design the ship mainly for sightseeing and travelingb. living a comfortable life helps to do the ocean research quicklyc. its much more expensive to eat freeze-dried foodd. researchers on jacques ship will live more comfortably than astronauts69. in jacques opinion, which of the following is not the purpose of the undersea research?a. to find supply for food in the future.b. to find supply for medicine in the future.c. to draw governments attention to the construction of the ship.d. to solve the global warming.70. which of the fol1owing would be the best title for the text?a. sea orbiterthe ship of the
