　　The Day a Language Died

　　When Carios Westez died at the age of 76, a language died, too. Westez, more commonly

　　known as Red Thunder Cloud, was the last speaker of the Native American language Catawba.

　　Anyone who wants to hear the songs of the Catawba can contact the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., where, back in the 1940s, Red Thunder Cloud recorded a series of songs for future generations. __________ (46) They are all that is left of the Catawba language. The language that people used to speak is gone forever.

　　We are all aware of the danger that modem industry can cause the world's ecology (生態).

　　However, few people are aware of the impact widely spoken languages have on other languages and ways of life. English has spread all over the word. Chinese, Spanish, Russian, and Hindi have become powerful languages as well. __________ (47) When this happens, hundreds of languages that are spoken by only a few die out.

　　Scholars believe there are around 6,000 languages around the world, but more than half of them could die out within the next 100 years. There are many examples, Araki is a native language of the island of Vanuatu, located in the Pacific Ocean. It is spoken by only a few older adults, so like Catawba, Araki will soon disappear. Many languages of Ethiopia will have the same fate because each one has only a few speakers. __________(48) In the Americas,100 languages, each of which has fewer than 300 speakers, are dying out.

　　Red Thunder Cloud was one of the first to recognize the danger of language death and to try to do something about it. He was not actually born into the Catawba tribe, and the language was not his mother tongue.__________ (49) The songs he sang for the Smithsonian Institution helped to make Native American music popular. Now he is gone, and the language is dead.

　　What does it mean for the rest of us when a language disappears? When a plant insect or animal species dies, it is easy to understand what has been lost and to for the balance of the natural word. However, language is only a product of the mind. To be the last remaining speaker of a language, like Red Thunder, must be a peculiarly lonely destiny, almost as strange and terrible as being the last surviving member of a dying species. __________ (50)

　　A. Some people might want to learn some of these songs by hearts.

　　B. Papua New Guinea is an extremely rich source of different language, but more than 100of them are in danger of extinction ( 滅絕 ) .

　　C. However, he was a frequent visitor to the Catawba reservation in South Carcinoma where he learned the language.

　　D. These languages don't have many native speakers.

　　E. For the rest of us, when a language dies, we lose the possibility of a unique way of seeing and describing the world.

　　F. As these languages become more powerful, their use as tools of business and culture increase.

　　46.A。空位于段中，所以與前后的句子都有語義上的銜接。從空格前的句子看，談論的是涂鴉、污染和熾熱的陽光造成了壁畫的糟糕狀態，空格后談論的是老師認為公共藝術沒有得到足夠的重視，所以推斷空格處應該談論的是壁畫的糟糕情況或者如何解決，故A(城市試圖阻止涂鴉的蔓延，所以在那些壁畫上涂上了油漆。)為最佳選項，其中A項中的graffiti與空格前句子中的graffiti有詞語銜接的一致性。重復詞的出現是體現語義銜接的重要標志。

　　47.D。空格位于段落的首旬，空格后的句子談論的是這項工作開始于2003年，已經選擇了16堵墻的壁畫，隨后會加入更多的墻壁，尤其可推斷D(現在城市開始實施修復城市壁畫的巨大工程。)是正確答案，談論的是墻壁壁畫修復工作，the project與空格后句子中的the work也有語義上的銜接。

　　48.C。空格位于段落的尾句，因而與前面的句子有語義上的銜接。空格前提到洛杉磯那些年輕的藝術家開始研究20世紀早期的墨西哥壁畫，因而空格處話題應與此有關，其中Mexican artists和Mexican mural painting體現出語義的銜接，故C(藝術家們喜歡壁畫是因為他們喜歡墨西哥藝術家的作品。)是正確答案，

　　49.E。空位于段中，所以與前后的句子都有語義上的銜接。從空格前的句子看，談論的是The most famous mural，從空格后的代詞“it”可以判斷，談論的對象是個單數，由此可知空格所在的句子談論的還是The most famous mural…，故E(壁畫代表了加州地區種族群體的歷史。)是正確答案。主語的一致性是體現語義銜接的重要標志。

　　50.B。空位于段中，所以與前后的句子都有語義上的銜接。從空格前的句子看，談論的是Kent Twitchell所創作的該幅壁畫是為1984年洛杉磯奧運會所做，空格是創作者Kent Twitchell對其含義的解釋，因而空格處談論的還是這幅畫，再結合復現詞匯Los Angeles可推斷空格處所填的句子為選項B或者選項F，但是選項F中的their murals為復數形式，由此可知B(這幅引人注目的作品刻畫了兩個人相互面對，分別立于洛杉磯市中心快車道的兩側的情況)為最佳答案。談論對象的單復數的一致性也是判斷語義銜接的重要標志。
