On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street boy was walking around the car. "Is this your car, Paul?" he asked. Paul answered, "Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was surprised. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything? Boy, I wish..." he hesitated.Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly."I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that." Paul looked at the boy in surprise. Then he said again, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?" "Oh yes, I'd love that." After a short ride, the boy said, "Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?"Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short time Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little disabled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car."There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it... Then you can see for yourself all the nice things that I told you."Paul got off the car and moved the boy to the seat of his car.

This is partly because different words can be used to express the same meaning, so it can be hard to say which word is more "correct" .（3）______ "Much of our research is really inspired by how we humans do things," lead researcher Liu Tieyan said. One method is called dual（双重的）learning. In this method, the system translates every sentence from Chinese to English, as well as translating the sentences back from English into Chinese.（4）______ This is similar to what humans do to make sure their translations are exact.Another method makes use of "deliberation networks"（推敲网络）.（5）______ Gradually, the system improves the quality of its translation, like humans would improve their own writing by going over it again and again.there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the population of the world was hunter-gatherers, small, closely connected groups developed their own speech different from each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages also became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of education, especially globalization and better communications in the past few years, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution(分布) of these languages is hugely unbalanced. The general rule is that warm, pleasant areas have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet areas have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone has well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is only 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. For example, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival. （1）What can we learn about languages in hunter-gatherer times?A They were developing very fast.B They were similar to each other .C They were large in number.D They were closely connected.（2）Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?A Powerful.B Traditional.C Simple.D Modern.（3）How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?A About 6,800.B About 3,400.C About 2,400.D About 1,200.（4）What is the main idea of the text?A New languages will be created.B People’s lifestyles are seen inlanguages. C Language development depends on geography. D Human development leads to fewer languages.四、根据首字母填空21. A. 请根据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。
