Question 1
答案：isolation
关键词：6800/variety of language/geographical
定位原文：第3段第1句“Isolation breeds linguistic diversity: as a result, the world is peppered with languages spoken by only a few people.”
解题思路：根据这句话可知，语言多样性是由于地理上的isolation。
Question 2
答案：economic globalization/globalization/socio-economic pressures
关键词：government/huge decrease
定位原文：第5段第4句“…the deadliest weapon is not government policy but economic pressures...”
解题思路：本题目要看清楚问的是语言消失的原因，and表示并列，因此空中应该填与government initiatives对等的原因，而文中第五段前半部分提到政府政策对语言的影响，但是科学家们也指出，真正致命的原因是社会经济压力。
Question 3
答案：cultural identity
关键词：Increasing appr?eciation/language classes
定位原文：第7段第2句话“But a growing interest in cultural identity may prevent the direst predictions from coming true.”
解题思路：“increasing appreciation”和文中的“growing interest”是同义替换，故正确答案是cultural identity。”
Question 4
答案：traditional skill
关键词：‘apprentice’/teach/a
定位原文：第7段倒数第4句“Volunteer 'apprentices' pair up with one of the last living speakers of a Native American tongue to learn a traditional skill such as basket weaving, with instruction exclusively in the endangered language.”
解题思路：“apprentice”做为定位词，题干这句话的意思是在学徒计划中，濒危语言被用来作为载体来教授人们一种……，文中的“learn”与“teach”在意思上有关联，而不定冠词“a”之后要填一个专有名词。
