9 . Papua New Guinea is an island nation north of Australia with a population of more than 9, 100. 000 people. It is recognized for its cultural diversity, as most of its population lives in traditional indigenous (土著的)communities.A result of this is that there are more than 850 active languages in the country today．

The earliest family of languages in the country, the Papua family appeared roughly 40, 000 years ago. The key to this language diversity is the isolationist (孤立主义的) tendencies of the tribes (部落) within Papua New Guinea. Tribes never made contact with one another, so each different language faced little risk of mixing with other languages or being replaced.

This changed with the arrival of Europeans in the 19th century. They introduced the people of apua New Guinea to English and other European languages. The combination of English and native languages has resulted in a form of language called Tok Pisin, which is the most common language in the country. Speaking Tok Pisin and English can help a young Papua New Guinean find more opportunities outside of their villages.

However, the disadvantage is that with more people speaking Tok Pisin or English, many of the indigenous languages are in danger. A study of indigenous languages in Papua New Guinea found that only 58% of students could speak an indigenous language. Meanwhile, 91% of their parents were fluent in their native tongues. If this pace continues, many of these languages are at risk. Some of Papua New Guinea’s languages are already in vulnerable places with fewer than 100 known speakers.

Each language represents a piece of culture that could not be replaced if every speaker dies out. To help keep these languages alive, linguists (语言学家) have worked with indigenous Papua New Guineans to create dictionaries and grammatical guides. Technology is used to record the language, meaning that even if the last known speaker of a language dies, evidence of the tongue still exists. While this can help keep a language from dying, teaching indigenous languages in local schools can truly keep the languages alive.

1. What has led to the language diversity in Papua New Guinea?

A．Many foreigners’ arrival in history.

B．Local governments’ encouragement.

C．The large population in this small country.

D．The lack of communication between tribes.

2. What do we know about Tok Pisin?

A．It is usually spoken out of the country.

B．It was invented completely by Europeans.

C．It contributes to spreading native languages.

D．It is popular among the younger generation.

3. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Especially important.

B．Able to be easily hurt.

C．Different in some way.

D．In a position of authority.

4. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．The importance of ancient languages.

B．Ways to teach students native languages.

C．Efforts to preserve endangered languages.

D．The bright future of indigenous languages.

10 . 43-year-old John Chadwick started live-streaming (直播) life of the birds with their chicks.But just weeks after uploading the videos to YouTube, he gained millions of views from around the world.

John said, “To think that tens of millions of people have been watching the birds from around the world is just incredible and quite overwhelming.”

The sound engineer bought the bird box by accident. He placed it on a willow tree in his back garden in March, and within hours two blue tits (蓝冠山雀) moved in and they had five chicks. At first, he only wanted to show his family what the birds were up to.

John said, “Within a day the birds moved in, and I wanted to know what was going on inside. I started to livestream and do video highlights every day-on the first day 100 people watched it. It showed things like the chicks being fed in the nests as the parents carried in caterpillars (毛毛虫). After three months, I had 2, 000 subscribers.”

John decided to put a final video together and keep it as short as possible-showing the birds going into the nests, the eggs hatching, and the chicks fledging(长羽毛).

Now despite the huge global success of the videos, John is unlikely to make enough for a nest egg of his own. He still needs to struggle for his family. But some people say they find it quite relaxing and genuinely fascinated by John’s videos.

He said, “My personal challenge to myself was to get out of my comfortable zone. And I enjoy exploring new areas. But I keep in mind that I need to care for my family.”

1. Why did John livestream birds’ life at first?

A．To kill time at home.

B．To know more about the birds.

C．To get him closer to his family.

D．To call on people to shelter blue tits.

2. What trouble is John faced with now?

A．His financial problem.

B．Little blue tits’ settlements.

C．Improvement of his final video.

D．Challenges from online viewers.

3. Which words can best describe John?

A．Intelligent and hardworking.

B．Helpful and wise.

C．Knowledgeable and generous.

D．Adventurous and responsible.

4. What would be the best title for the text?

A．A Bird Lover’s Video of Blue Tits Attracts Millions of Fans

B．A Video Raises People’s Awareness of Protecting Birds

C．Technology Can Greatly Affect the Survival of Wildlife

D．A Bird Lover Makes Efforts to Protect Rare Blue Tits
