二、阅读理解
第一节 根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Each year on Feb. 21, UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) holds an International Mother Language Day (IMLD). The event is to help people pay attention to the disappearance of the world's languages: many of them are
disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact.
What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lost—not just sounds and marks but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. We keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Kill a language and all these are killed with it.
Thanks to IMLD, more and more people come to realize the terrible situation and try to stop it. Google’s 2018 Endangered Language Project is a good example. Many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload texts, audio files and videos to the project website.
The Myaamia Project is the same kind of effort to revive the language spoken by the Miami tribes (部落) of the United States. Project members work to encourage people to study and communicate with this language, which died out in the 1960s.
The activities give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They “spread the word” to save the world.
So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling for our mother language. This is why we should remember the wise words of the late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own
language, that goes to his heart. ”
