The world faces enormous challenges in order to protect different kinds of languages. Of the more than 6,912 languages, half may be in danger of disapp
28、earing in the next several decades. It is caused by many reasons: small numbers of speakers, the regular use of other languages, attitudes towards their languages, moving of the younger population, government policies, and languages used in education and so on. A language may lack important things s
29、uch as a body of literature, and people who read and write it. A language may also lack prestige (声望 ) and support of its speakers.

36、and conduct many experiments. However, nothing like that exists for our oceans, and thanks to the high water pressure, ocean researchers are able to explore what lies undersea for very short periods of time. They are therefore never able to fully explore the deep inside areas of our oceans. However,
37、 if French architect Jacques Rougerie has his way, that will change soon. Jacques has designed a ship that will allow researchers to spend a long period of time observing the sea life and conducting experiments. The huge l67ft. ship, named Sea Orbiter, consists of two areasone above the water where
38、the scientists and crew will live, and a lower pressurized deck (甲板 ), where scientists will be able to spend as much time as they wish.

Besides being equipped with the latest sailing tools and communication equipment, the ship will also have a gym, a television and a DVD player! And these guys will not be eating freeze-dried food like astronauts. Instead, Jacques, an accomplished
40、 chef, plans on cooking them delicious meals every day. The biggest problem to this giant ship is the cost, which is expected to be over $500 millionper ship! However, Jacques, who strongly believes that the secrets of our oceans may be the key to solving global warming and a vital supply for food a
41、nd medicine in the future, is confident he will be able to convince governments all over the world to help out, and expects to start construction on not one, but four or five of these amazing ships soon! 【小题 1】 Why cant ocean researchers explore the deep oceans for a long time A Because they cant st

A Jacques intends to design the ship mainly for sightseeing and traveling B living a comfortable life helps to do the ocean research quickly C its much more expensive to eat freeze-dried food D researchers on Jacques ship will live more comfortably than astronauts 【小题 4】 In
