阅读下面的短文,在标有序号的空白处填入一个适当的词,或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。
Language follows power. In an increasingly globalized world, some languages become the kings in terms of trade and communication. They jump geographic boundaries, pushing smaller languages toward    小题1: .
According to National Geographic magazine, one language dies every 14 days. By the next century nearly half of the roughly 7,000 languages spoken on Earth are   小题2:  to disappear as communities abandon native tongues in favor of English, Mandarin or Spanish.
This is    小题3:   Google.org is launching a new campaign called the Endangered Languages Project. It aims to digitally record the world’s little-known tongues and the heritages to which they are central.
What kind of languages are disappearing? Languages like Arogonese, which can be found in northern Spain, for example. Spoken by fewer than 10,000 people, this language seems to    小题4:   (disappear) within a few generations. Navajo and Ojibwa, both native to the Americans, are also close to extinction. Koro is the native language of a small population   小题5:  in the mountains of northeast India. It’s spoken by about 4,000 people.
The Endangered Languages website will record roughly 3,500 of the world’s little-spoken tongues. “  小题6:  every language that dies, humans are in danger of losing an enormous cultural heritage”, writes Loek Essers on the website Computerworld.com.
“As each one disappears, an understanding of how humans relate to the world around them, as well as scientific, medical, and botanical(植物的)knowledge, are all lost,    小题7:   is the expression of a community’s humor, love, and life.”
Users of the website can find    小题8:   which can be identified by their location on a map, or reached by means of a list that has been broken down into four categories: at risk, endangered, severely endangered, or unknown.    小题9:   can upload video or audio samples as well as share their knowledge of a language.
“Languages are alive and in constant change, and their extinction is not new,” write the site’s creators. “  小题10:   today we have the tools and technology that could become a game changer.”
答案

小题1:extinction   
小题2:likely/expected
小题3:. why
小题4:have disappeared
小题5:living
小题6:With
小题7:as /so
小题8:languages
小题9:Users/ They 
小题10:But
解析

试题分析:语言是有力量的。在一个日益全球化的世界,有些语言如英语、 普通话或西班牙语成为贸易和通信方面的国王。据国家地理杂志所说,到下世纪地球上大约7000 种语言的近一半将消失。当说一种语言的人越来越少少时,这种语言就消失了。语言的消失代表着一种文化的灭亡。所以为了挽救那些濒危语言,现在有一个叫Google.org网站展开了这方面的活动。
小题1:根据全文的内容可知本句的意思是:在这个日益全球化的世界里,一些语言在贸易和交流中占据了统治地位,他们跨越了地域界限,把一些小的语言推向灭亡。所以用extinction灭亡。   
小题2:据国家地理杂志说,每14天就有一种语言消失。这样推算下去,到下个世纪时,地球上大约7,000种语言很可能就消失了,因为当地人放弃了本土语言而喜欢说英语、 普通话或西班牙语。所以用短语搭配be likely /expected to 意思是:很可能。
小题3:这就是为什么Google.org正在发起一个称为拯救濒危语言项目的新运动。所以用why。
小题4:由于只有不到10,000人说Arogonese,所以这种语言似乎在几代人的时间内就消失了。这里用不定式的完成时have disappeared表示动作已结束。所以填have disappeared。
小题5:Koro 是生活在印度东北部山区的一小部分人口所说的一种语言。所以用living表示正居住在… 。
小题6:伴随着灭亡的每一种语言,人类正处于失去一种巨大的文化遗产的危险之中。所以用With表伴随。
小题7:一种语言消失了,了解人类如何理解他周围的世界的的方法,以及科学的、医学的和植物方面的知识都一并失去了。一起消失的还有一个社区的人对幽默、爱和生活的表达。所以填as /so表示前面一种情况适合另一种人和物。
小题8:使用该网址的人可以发现根据位置在地图上标注的那些语言。所以填languages表那些语言。
小题9:这里话和前面的话是并列关系。同样指出使用该网址可以得到哪些信息。使用者可以上传音频或视频样板以及分享他们所了解的某一语言的知识。所以填Users/ They。 
小题10:网址的创建者说:语言是活的并且是在不断变化的。它们的灭绝也不新鲜。但是今天我们有了可以改变这一游戏规则的工具和技术。前后句表转折,所以填But。
考点:任务型阅读。
