题目内容
14.Like many languages spoken by people,Ayapaneco is dying.Only two people in the world still speak it,and they won′t talk to each other.Spoken in Mexico for centuries,Ayapaneco is one of 68 surviving languages in the mainly Spanish-speaking nation.The two speakers are Manuel Segovia and Isidro Velazquez.Though they live only 500 meters from each other in the village,the two men seldom talk to each other.Daniel,an American expert,who is working to make a dictionary of Ayapaneco,says the two men"don′t have a lot in common",and that Segovia can be"active"while Velasquez tends to mind his own business and stay at home.
While Segovia still speaks to his wife and son in Ayapaneco,neither of them can manage more than a few words.Velasquez hardly speaks his native tongue any more.Daniel is working to preserve the language in dictionary form before its last surviving speakers pass away.According to Daniel,Ayapaneco and other languages began dying out with the introduction of public Spanish education in the mid-20th century.For decades,local children weren′t allowed to speak anything else.Many people to cities,starting in the 1970s,also helped the dying out of native languages.
Ayapaneco is the name given to the language; Segovia and Velazquez call it"Nuumte Oote",which means"true voice".Neither man,however,speaks the language identically.The dictionary will contain two versions of the language when it comes out later this year.Those behind the dictionary aren′t the only ones trying to save Ayapaneco.The National Language Institute plans to hold classes so that Segovia and Velasquez can pass on what they know to children,which they don′t agree to.
It is thought that there are about 6,000 languages spoken on Earth and that about half will disappear over the next 100 years.Let′s hope the"true voice"isn′t one of them.

解答 64.D.细节理解题.根据第二段Daniel,an American expert,who is working to make a dictionary of Ayapaneco,says the two men"don't have a lot in common,"可知两人没有共同的兴趣.故D正确.
65.C.细节理解题.根据文章第四段可知Ayapaneco语言逐渐消失的主要原因是当地的孩子不得不讲西班牙语和很多人搬到城市居住.故C正确.
66.B.细节理解题.根据倒数第二段最后一句The National Language Institute plans to hold classes so that Segovia and Velasquez can pass on what they know to children可知学校的阿亚帕涅科语教是为了拯救阿亚帕涅科语.故B正确.
67.D.推理判断题.根据文章最后一段特别是最后一句Let's hope the"true voice"isn't one of them.可知作者希望Ayapaneco这种语言在100年后不会消失.因此选D项.
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
