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, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.

Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans 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, tap 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.

5. Many scholars are making efforts to _____.

A.promote global languages

B.rescue the disappearing languages

C.search for language communities

D.set up language research organizations.

6. What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Having first records of the languages

B.Writing books on language searching

C.Telling stories about language users

D.Linking with the native speakers

7. What is Turin’s book based on?

A.The cultural statics in India.

B.The documents available at Yale.

C.His language research in Britain.

D.His personal experience in Nepal.

8. Which of the following best describes Turin’s Work?

A.Write, sell and donate.

B.Record, repeat and reward.

C.Collect, protect and reconnect.

D.Design, experiment and report.

Mirroring China’s Past: Emperors and Their Bronzes

Chinese bronzes (青铜) of the second and first millennia BC are some of the most distinctive achievements in the history of art. These vessels (容器) were made to carry sacrificial offerings, to use in burial or to honor noble families in public ceremonies. When they were found by emperors centuries later, these spiritually significant objects were seen as signs of heavenly messages about a ruler or a dynasty and became prized items in royal collections. This exhibition —the first to explore these ancient objects throughout Chinese history —presents a rare opportunity to experience a large number of these works together in the United States.

Unlike Greek and Roman bronze sculptures of human and animal forms, most objects from Bronze Age China (about 2000 - 221 BC) were vessels for ceremonial use. Beginning with the Song dynasty (960 - 1279), emperors unearthed these symbolic works and began collecting them, considering them to be evidence of their own authority as rulers. In addition to impressive collections, the royal fascination with bronzes led to the creation of numerous reproductions and the comprehensive cataloguing of palace holdings. These catalogues are works of art themselves, featuring beautiful drawings and detailed descriptions of each object.

From the 12th century onward, scholars and artists also engaged in collecting and understanding ancient bronzes. Unlike emperors, scholars regarded bronzes as material evidence of their efforts to recover and reconstruct the past, and they occasionally exchanged them as tokens (象征) of friendship. Today ancient bronzes still occupy a primary position in Chinese culture —as historical objects and as signifiers of an important cultural heritage that inspires new generations, as seen in the works of contemporary artists on view in this presentation.

Mirroring China’s Past brings together approximately 180 works from the An Institute of Chicago’s strong holdings and from the Palace Museum in Beijing, the Shanghai Museum, and important museums and private collections in the United States. By providing viewers with a new understanding of ancient bronzes and their significance through time, the exhibition demonstrates China’s fascinating history and its developing present.

12. In what way are Chinese bronzes different from Greek and Roman ones?

A. They fascinated the royal family.

B. They took animal or human forms.

C. They served ceremonial purposes.

D. They were important cultural heritage.

13. What does the author think of catalogues of bronzes?

A. Unreal.

B. Creative.

C. Artistic.

D. Necessary.

14. What can we infer about the exhibition according to the text?

A, h is held in China. B. It is arranged by time.

C. It is organized by scholars.

D. It includes modem artworks.

15. What does the underlined word “holdings” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Viewers.

B. Collections.

C. Museums.

D. Art dealers.

Dear Editor,

I’m writing to tell you how we students use computers on our daily life. First, some students surf the Internet while doing their homework, what makes them not concentrate their efforts on our studies. Second, some use computers to get bad informations such as violence. Third, computer games destroy many students because they throw themselves into a virtual world, complete forgetting that they’ve got to do. Fourth, a large number of students absorbed in online shopping and watching movies and they keep think of the various goods and the exciting plots even when they’re having classes! So I suggest that we used computers in a right and healthy way for a proper period of time while at the home.

Yours,
