Experts say there are about 6，500 languages spoken throughout the world. But the United Nations guesses that about half of these languages are in danger of disappearing.
One organization seeking to save world languages is Wikitongues. It has a simple goal: to provide the tools and support that people need to save their languages. When a language disappears, many other things can go away as well. For example, parts of a community's(社区的)culture. knowledge and identity can also be lost.
Because of this, Udell. co-founder of Wikitongues. believes the process of bringing languages hack must be done by community members themselves. he said. "There is no way an outside organization can save someone's language for them.”
Wikitongues was started in 2016 as an open Internet collection of world languages. The self-described "community" is operated by volunteers from around the world. The collection is in the form of language videos that people speaking the languages add to the Wikitongues website.
Udell says saving languages does count. There are many examples of languages that disappeared but later returned to use. "Hebrew went extinct(灭绝的)in the 4th century BC, and was revived(复兴)in the 1800s. Now once again，it's the mother tongue of half of the world's Jewish population.”Another example is a Native American tribe. The tribe's language went extinct in the 1940s. But the tribe was able to successfully build up a "language recovery" in recent years.
One of Wikitongues' volunteers is Theron Kolokwe. who lives in Namibia. His native language is Subiya. which is spoken by about 30.000 people.
"I want the world to know about my language,” Kolokwe said. But his goal goes beyond just sharing his language with others through video. He is also working to create a dictionary and language teaching materials that can be used in schools.
1、What does Udell consider important in saving languages?
A．Gathering language information. B．Relying on the language speakers.
C．Setting up an outside organization. D．Combining languages with culture.
2、How does Wikitongues help save languages?
A．By getting language videos from its speakers collected.
B．By building an online dictionary for each language.
C．By creating a real-life community for its speakers.
D．By requiring volunteers to learn new languages.
3、What do the examples in paragraph 5 suggest?
A．The achievements of Wikitongues. B．The influences of languages on life.
C．The significance of saving languages. D．The difficulty with language recovery.
4、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Wikitongues Is Struggling to Spread Languages
B．Wikitongues Starts a Language Learning Website
C．Wikitongues Is Bringing Old Languages Back to Life
D．Wikitongues Seeks to Save World's Dying Languages

B
A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment? As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in a garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.
A biodegradable (生物所能分解的) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle.
Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and is able to change shape. Over time it can also break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms fertilizers. These feed the seed and help the flower grow.
Engineers have designed a small transparent (透明的) window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is throw n away. “We’ve only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time.” said one scientist.
As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This means manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be throw n away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can offer some relief for nature, according to the scientists.
“The seed comes out and the flower grows in the pot so you don’t have to concern yourself with the phone when you have finished using it,” said Kerry Kirw an. She leads the research team, which is based at the University of Warw ick in Britain.
1、What is the purpose of this passage?
A．To tell the popularity of biodegradable cell phones.
B．To discuss the development of the cell phone technology.
C．To persuade the readers to buy the biodegradable cell phone.
D．To introduce an environmental-friendly cell phone to readers.
2、Which of the following is TRUE about the cover of the new type of phone?
A．It can turn into useful fertilizer for the sunflower seeds.
B．It can hardly serve as the storage for the sunflower seed.
C．It may give out poisonous chemicals when breaking down.
D．It may make the seed grow after the phone is throw n away.
3、What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The new type of mobile phone will sell extremely well.
B．The new type of mobile phone is already on the market.
C．Other flowers may be used in the new type of cell phone.
D．Mobile phone is increasingly important to the environment.
4、The most suitable title for this passage might be “ ”.
A．Design a Phone B．Help the Sunflower to grow
C．Protec t Our Environment D．Plant Your Phone

Dear Sally,
Do you remember me?
We were used to go to Allendales School together. You were the first person I get to know there. We sat next each other in class, but later the teacher made me sit apart because we were, always chatting so much. We always went to your house after school and listened to music for hours. We’d get all the Beatles record as soon as they came out. Once we ate all the food in your fridge and your mother was anger.
I still see Penny, and she’s still as madly as ever. She’s always talking about having the school reunion. So if you’re interesting, drop me a line.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Your old schoolmate,
Alice
