The crisis is not limited to remote regions of the world. When Europeans first arrived in North America,
2、312 different languages were _41_, of which 123 are now known to be extinct. Of the _42_ languages, most speakers are grandparents and great-grandparents. Different researchers offer different definitions of endangered. The system of _43_ used by the Catalogue of Endangered Languages evaluates langu
3、ages in four areas: the _44_ of all the speakers, how often the language is conveyed to the next _45_, the rate at which it is losing speakers and the _46_ in which it is used. Based on this data, languages are ranked on a six-point scale from safe to severely endangered. The midpoint, endangered re
4、fers to a language with between 100 and 1,000 speakers who represent about half of the languages community or ethnic group. The language is spoken only by some parents, of whom very few teach it to their children. It is _47_ used at home and is not taught in schools or used for government business.
5、Languages become endangered due to a number of _48_ factors including globalization, economics, technology, education policy, and changes in _49_ attitudes. As the forces of globalization make the world more interconnected, previously _50_ language communities come under pressure to participate in a
6、 larger economy, which means learning the areas majority language. _51_, local schools often begin to teach the majority language instead of the local tongue. Local languages also _52_ as communities adopt mobile phones and computers, most of which run on software that has been translated into only
7、a handful of languages. This trend _53_ as these devices connect users to the Internet. At this point, many communities undergo a cultural _54_ in which parents no longer value the language enough to teach it to their children. Initiatives to _55_ endangered languages have become more numerous in re
8、cent years. These efforts tend to focus on two main areas: the documentation of endangered languages, and efforts to increase the use of endangered languages among younger speakers and in the community at large. 41.

Your 41 to t
12、he Monte-Carlo neighborhood is bursting with color as classic styles of European architecture catch your eye. When you reach the race course area, you are led to the harbor where you will watch the race from the 42 of a friends yacht (游艇). Soon, the Formula One cars will pull onto the starting point
13、 and the race will begin. Each of the cars in the Monaco Grand Prix is 43 , but all of them are fast and modern. The race course also 44 as being complex and difficult, with a frightening hairpin (发夹) turn along a very narrow street. 45 these streets at speeds over 150 kilometers per hour, drivers m
14、ust take care. Even the slightest 46 could turn a multi-million dollar car into a pile of waste. The driver who claims first place receives an award and will go down 47 as one of the worlds finest drivers. Indianapolis 500 On race day the grandstands (大看台) are filled with excitement as you enter the
15、 Indianapolis Motor Speedway. You find your seat, 48 yourself against the harsh heat and marvel at the huge black oval (椭圆形的) track below.

They tend to be much longer, and reach 260 kilometers per hour. Since the drivers must race for 500 miles, the race is quite long, 51 three to five hours. T

21、ily basis, scientists from Washington State University have now proved that touching our favourite _41_ friends gently for just ten minutes is an effective way to reduce stress levels. In findings published in AERA Open an open access journal published by the American Educational Research Associatio
22、n last month, scientists showed that the general _42_ of students improves quickly, with even those who are highly stressed showing significant reduction in cortisol levels a chemical produced by our bodies in times of stress. Many universities have adopted Pet Your Stress Away programs where studen

The research, conducted by Washington State University (WSU), shows that pets improve students moods, and their _44_ has stress-relieving physiological benefits. Just 10 minutes can have a signif
24、icant _45_ , said Patricia Pendry, an associate professor in WSUs Department of Human Development. This is the first study that has demonstrated reductions in students cortisol levels during a _46_ intervention (介入). The team chose 249 college students and put them into four random groups and compar
25、ed the effects of different _47_ to animals. The first group were provided 10 minutes of actual interaction with dogs and cats. The second group waited in line while _48_ others petting the animals. The third group watched a slideshow of the same animals, while the fourth group had to _49_ and was t
26、old they would be allowed to see the animals after 10 minutes. Salivary (唾液的) cortisol _50_ were collected from each participant starting from the moment they woke up in the morning. There was significantly less cortisol in the saliva of students who had _51_ interaction with the pets. Many universi
27、ties have started these _52_ where students can interact with cats or dogs to help relieve the pressures of higher education. We already knew that students enjoy interacting with animals, and that it helps them experience more _53_ emotions, Dr Pendry said. What we wanted to learn was whether this e
28、xposure would help students reduce their stress in a less _54_ way. And it did, which is _55_ because the reduction of stress chemicals may, over time, have significant benefits for physical and mental health. 41. A. new B. furry C. close D. personal 42.

32、se of genetic testing has brought this question to light. Two _41_ legal cases one in Britain, the other in Germany stand to alter the way medicine is practised. Both cases involve Huntingtons disease (HD), whose _42_ include loss of co-ordination (协调), mood changes and cognitive (认知的) decline. It d
33、evelops between the ages of 30 and 50, and is eventually fatal. Every child of an _43_ parent has a 50% chance of inheriting it. In the British case, _44_ for trial at the High Court in London in November, a woman known as ABC to protect the _45_ of her daughter, who is a minor is charging a London
34、hospital, St. Georges Healthcare NHS Trust, for not _46_ her fathers diagnosis of HD with her. ABC was pregnant at the time of his diagnosis, in 2009. She argues that had she been aware of it, she would have stopped the pregnancy. As it was, she found out only after giving birth to her daughter. She
35、 later tested _47_ for HD. The German case is in some ways the mirror image of the British one. Unlike in Britain, in Germany the right not to know genetic information is protected in law. _48_, in 2011 a doctor informed a woman that her divorced husband the doctors patient had tested positive for H
36、D. This meant their two children were _49_ the disease. She accused the doctor, who had acted with his patients permission. Both children being minors at the time, they could not legally be tested for the disease, which, as the womans lawyers pointed out, is currently _50_. They argued that she was
37、therefore helpless to act on the information, and _51_ suffered a reactive depression that prevented her from working. Both cases test a legal grey area. If the right to know is _52_ recognized in Britain later this year, that may remove some uncertainties, but it will also create new ones. To what
38、lengths should doctors go to track down and inform family members, _53_? It is the laws job to _54_ these rights for the modern age. When the law falls behind technology, somebody often pays the price, and currently that somebody is _55_. As these two cases demonstrate, they find themselves in a dif

43、se website, A. _42_, domestic companies will no longer be able to sell products to Chinese consumers on its e-commerce platform. The decision marks an end to a long _43_ by Americas e-commerce giants in the Chinese market. The firms entered the Chinese market with great attention in the early 2000s,
44、 only to _44_ in the face of competition from Chinas faster-moving Internet giants. Amazon has been in talks to _45_ its e-commerce business for goods imported into China with a Chinese competitor, NetEase Inc.s Kaola, in a stock-for-stock transaction (交易), according to a person familiar with the ma
45、tter. That would remove the Amazon name from _46_ e-commerce in China. Neither company would confirm the progress or details of those _47_, nor would they say if they are continuing. In a written statement, Amazon said it remained _48_ to China through its global stores, Kindle businesses and web se
46、rvices.Amazon Chinas president would leave to take on another role within the company, the company said. The China consumer-business team will report _49_ to the companys global team. When Amazon first entered China in 2004 with the _50_ of J, it was the largest online seller for books, music and vi

Today, Amazon China chiefly caters to customers looking for imported international goods such as cosmetics and milk powder and is a(n) _52_ player in the booming Chinese e-commerce market. Amazon China commanded
48、 just 6% of gross market volume in the niche （细分的） cross-border e-commerce market in the fourth quarter of 2018, versus NetEaseKaolas 25% _53_ and the 32% held by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.s Tmall International.
