“We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway

restaurant,” she explains. “I pay ?5 for a portion (

because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes

we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves.”

Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has

been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers,

small, tightly knit (

联系

) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.

Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million

people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.

Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their

languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade,

industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory

education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have

caused

many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and

Chinese are increasingly taking over.

At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is

hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by

many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only

around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps

3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (

中位数

)

3

of speakers is a mere 6,0

00, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer

people than that.

Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (

消亡

), with only

a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers),

Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in

Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.

28. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?

A. They developed very fast.

C. They had similar patterns.

B. They were large in number.

D. They were closely connected.

29. Which of the following best explains

“

dominant

”

underlined in paragraph 2?

A. Complex.

C. Powerful.

B. Advanced.

D. Modern.

30. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?

A. About 6,800.

C. About 2,400.

B. About 3,400.

D. About 1,200.

31. What is the main idea of the text?

A. New languages will be created.

B. People

’

s lifestyles are reflected in languages.

C. Human development results in fewer languages.

D. Geography determines language evolution.

We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of

something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices (

装置

) well

after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment

–

and our wallets

–

as these outdated

devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.

To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at

the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each

product throughout its life

–

from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device.

This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s.

Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs

4

defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD

TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.

As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out our old ones.

“The living

-room

television is replaced and gets planted i

n the kids’ room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in

every room of the house,

”

said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose

from four per household in 1992 to 13

in 2007. We’re not just keeping these old devices

–

we

continue to use them. According to the analysis of

Babbitt’

s team, old desktop monitors and box

TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution

to greenhouse gas emissions (

排放

) more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.

So what’s the solution

(

解决方案

)

? The team’s data only went up to 2007

, but the researchers

also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that

serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found

that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers

could cut energy consumption by 44%.

32. What does the author think of new devices?

A. They are environment-friendly.

C. They cost more to use at home.

B. They are no better than the old.

D. They go out of style quickly.

33. Why did Babbitt’s team conduct the research?

A. To reduce the cost of minerals.

B. To test the life cycle of a product.

C. To update consumers on new technology.

D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.

34. Which of the following uses the least energy?

A. The box-set TV.

B. The tablet.

C. The LCD TV.

D. The desktop computer.

35. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?

A. Stop using them.

C. Upgrade them.

B. Take them apart.

D. Recycle them.
