The net plays another,more active,role on the linguistic(语言学的)front,A role that is(41)frequentlyoverlooked by many people who believe English victory is on the go.Since the advent (来临) of World Wide Web,many minority(42)languages,those spoken by single nations or ethnic groups,have enjoyed a dramatic upsurge(急剧上升)in vitality.Many such tongues were (43)considered endangered just a decade ago.Late-century mobility and economic currents were taking more and more speakers out of their communities and away from fellow speakers.Languages were (44)disappearing at an alarming rate.
Like biological extinction,linguistic extinction is a serious loss for all of humankind.Languages are some of the (45)primary ways people maintain their culture and are crucial to understanding other cultures.When fewer and fewer people share a (46)particular language,it may die,and when it does,part of our collective human culture dies with it.
Surprisingly,though,the Internet has become a valuable tool for (47)preserving endangered languages.Speakers of these languages not only have been particularly active in putting up web pages in their various languages,but also in mounting (配置)(48)extremely effective,large-scale dictionary and language-learning projects online.There is no reason why minority languages cannot live together with a common social language like English.Indeed,the Internet offers more hope for their(49survival than they have ever known before,especially as translation tools become more effective.

41.I 考查副词.分析句式可知,此处需要一个副词来修饰动词overlook.frequently意思是频繁地.
42.D 考查名词.根据"those spoken by single nations or ethnic groups"提到的是被说的只能是语言,所以填lanuages.
43.A 考查动词.前文提到很多小语种日益增加,但在a decade ago,被认为是有危害的.
44.J 考查动名词.根据Late-century mobility and economic currents were taking more and more speakers out of their communities and away from fellow speakers可以看出,语言正在日益消失,disappear意思是消失.
45.E 考查形容词,primary意思是主要的,这句话说语言是人们保持文化主要的方式.
46.C考查形容词.When fewer and fewer people share…这句话说越来越少的人分享只能是一种特殊的语言,particular 意思是特殊的,特别的
47.G.考查动名词.前句说互联网是宝贵的工具,是用来保护处于濒临灭绝语言的工具.preserv意思是保护,保存,放在for后面需用动名词形式.
48.H考查副词.extremely意思是极其,非常,用来修饰effective,意思是极其有效,非常有效率.
49.F 考查名词,根据前文知道语言正在消失,所以互联网为语言的生存提供更多希望.survival 意思是生存,是survive的名词形式.

Eggplant was first grown in India during the 5th century B.C.Its popularity soon spread to China,and then throughout Asia.Finally,during the Middle Ages the vegetable made its way to Europe.At that time,eggplant was not the (44)shiny purple vegetable people know today.Instead,it (45)resembled a white egg.Due to this egg-like (46)appearance,eggplant got its name.In its early days,the vegetable was so bitter that people often called it a"mad apple".This nickname started because people believed its bitterness was bad for one's health.People actually thought eggplant could cause insanity and cancer.
Fortunately,today people know that eggplant doesn't cause insanity or cancer.In fact,eggplant is so healthy that it may prevent cancer.In addition,the brain and the heart benefit from this (47)super vegetable.Since it is high in fiber,eggplant can also improve digestion.
Italy,Turkey,Egypt,China and Japan are the (48)leadinggrowers of eggplant in the world today.Depending its location,eggplant may be purple,green,orange or yellow-white.And it can be as small as a tomato or as large as a cucumber.Dish (49)varietiesrange from simple to complex,with all of them being delicious.
