Section B
Directions:Read the following two passage. Each passage is followed by veral questions or unfinis
hed statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choo the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chine, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000 -7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations -- UNESCO and National Geographic among them - have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently
published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience of living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who eks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record the voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials - including photographs, films, tape records, and field notes - which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now, through the two organizations that the has founded - the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project - Turin has started a campaign to make such documents available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.
