【解析】本文是一篇议论文。文章阐述了盲目夸大新科技可能带来的严重后果。一方面信息技术革命增加了发达国家和发展中国家的差距，另一方面就是发达国家对发展中国家的某些政策取消，这其实对于发展中国家非常不利。

61. D细节理解题。根据第二段第二句However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.可知，对科技的误判会导致稀有资源的误用，也就是说是资源的浪费，故选D项。

62. A推理判断题。根据第四段第四、五句Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people' lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up internet centres in rural villages. I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.可知，对于捐助者投资一些花哨的项目，不如实际一点来从根本上改善人们的生活，故选A项。

63. B推理判断题。根据第五段第一、三句Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some

of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.可知，由于通信和交通技术的发展，世人可以无国界的交流而忽视了必要的监管，故选B项。

64. B主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章首句“Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? ”引出主题，说明洗衣机有时比互联网更重要；结合全文大意可知，主要阐述了盲目夸大新科技可能带来的严重后果。通过两个事例说明了某些国家忽视了制造业，也就是传统的产业，以及担心所谓的“数字鸿沟”，而忽视人们最基本的生活需求，所以无论科技如何发展，都不能盲从，传统的技术在如今仍旧有一席之位，故选B项。 7.B【2024·全国I】

Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers,small, tightly knit (联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages

between them.

Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centres, trade,industrialisation. the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education. Especially glbalisation and better communications in the past few decades,all have caused many Languages to disappear,and dominant languages such as English．Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.

At present, the world has about 6 800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot. wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000. Africa 2 400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数)of speakers is a mere 6.000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.z.x.xk

Already well over 400 of the total of, 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers),Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three)or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.

28. What can we infer about languages in huntergatherer times? A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number. C. They had similar patters. D. They were closely connected

29. Which of the following best explains\？ A. Complex. C. Powerful.

B. Advanced. D. Modem.

30. How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present? A. About 6 800 C. About 2.400

B. About 3 400 D. About 1-200

31. What is the main idea of the text? A. New languages will be created.

B. Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages C. Human development results in fewer languages D. Geography determines language evolution.

【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. C

【解析】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了随着社会的发展人类语言越来越少及其原因。

28. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other... when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.可知，当世界以依靠狩猎为生的人居住的时候，小而联系紧密的群落形成了他们彼此之间独立的讲话模式。当世界上的人口数量不到一千万时，语言种类达到了12000种。由此推知，当时的语言种类很多。故选B。

29. 猜测词义题。根据文章第二段中的dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.可知，英语、西班牙语和汉语正在替代其他语言。由此推知dominant languages意为：强有力的语言。故选C。

30. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的At present, the world has about 6,800 languages.和The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that. 可知，目前世界上大约有6800种语言，但是讲的人数少于6000人的占一半即3400.故选B。 31. 主旨要义题。根据文章第一段中的主题句Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.可知，语言的产生和消失进行了几千年，但最近时代语言产生的少，消失的太多。故选C。 点睛：长难句解读

In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.

分析：and连接两个并列句，前面的介词短语in. . .作时间状语，all和前面的名词短语是同位语。

句意：在最近的几个世纪，贸易、工业化、民族国家的发展和全球义务教育的蔓延，尤其是过去几十年来，全球化和更好的交流，这些都是导致许多语言消失的原因。而且像英语、西班牙语和汉语这些强大的语言正在不断地占据统治地位。 9.B【2024·全国II】
