its living things, resulting in the imbalance of the ecological

Ⅰ．阅读理解

There are around 6,000 living languages in the world－and at

least half of these are in danger. In every part of the world,

languages are disappearing. In fact, one scientist has said that

languages are in more danger of eammals. Professor Steve Sutherland

of the University of East Anglia says that in the past 500 years

4．5 percent of languages have died out — compared with 1．3 percent

of birds, and 1．9 percent of mammals.

第4页 共10页 Languages come and go, and thousands have done exactly that

without leaving any trace. Only a very few — Basque, Greek and Latin

among them－have lasted more than 2,000 years. But it seems that

the pace of their disappearance is becoming quicker.

The Ethnologue, a database of all the languages spoken in the

world, states that 417 languages are spoken by so few people that

they are in the final stages of becoming extinct. If very few people

speak a language, it will probably die out.

Languages may be lost through migration (迁移), as people move

from small towns to city centers, or when environments are destroyed

by the search for oil or wood. Natural disasters can also devastate

populations, and along with them, their language. Governments also

play a role in the extinction of languages. The need to establish

“official languages”， for a country to educate its children and

carry out its business, had a disastrous effect on many small

languages.

What is lost if a language is lost? Some people argue that

languages die as the human race develops. Obviously there could be

great benefits if everyone in the world spoke the same language－some industries already reflect this, with English essential for

pilots and air traffic controllers. But there are more important

things than convenience. As languages are lost, whole ways of life

and knowledge may be lost along with them.

To put it simply, language eething about identity, about our
