As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, 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 Center, 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 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 seeks 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 these voices before they disappear without record.

At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials —including

photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were

badly in need of care and protection.

Now, through the two organizations that he has founded—the Digital Himalaya Project and the

World Oral Literature Project—Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in

libraries and stores around the world, 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．

24. Many scholars are making efforts to ______.

A. promote global languages B. rescue disappearing languages

C. search for language communities D. set up language research organizations

A. Having full records of the languages. B. Writing books on language teaching.

C. Telling stories about language users. D. Living with the native speakers.

26. What is Turin’s book based on?

A. The cultural studies in India. B. The documents available at Yale.

C. His language research in Bhutan. D. His personal experience in Nepal.

27. Which of the following best describes Turin’s work?

A. Write, sell and donate. B. Record, repair and reward.

C. Collect, protect and reconnect. D. Design, experiment and report.

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose

books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on

the traditional idea of a book group.

Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing

provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a

public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new

reader who finds it.

Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your

life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”

Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever

finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.

People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails

are then sent to the Book Crossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found.

Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a

shelf at home.

Book Crossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the

virtual (虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-

five countries.

28.Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?

A. To explain what they are. B. To introduce Book Crossing.

C. To stress the importance of reading. D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.

29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The book. B. An adventure. C. A public place. D. The identification number.

30. What will a Book Crosser do with a book after reading it?

A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.

C. Pass it on to another reader. D. Mail it back to its owner.

31. What is the best title for the text?

A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B. Electronic Books: A New Trend

C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D. A Website Links People through Books

Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy

sweeping up pop corns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in

the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of

workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in

preparation for the building’s end.

The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the

movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say

good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed

appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close

down.

Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete.

He added that the theater’s location（位置）was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town,”

he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.”
