• 3．World's Largest Active Volcano Erupts in Hawaii Hawaii's Mauna Loa，the largest active volcano in the world，has erupted for the first time in nearly 40 years，US authorities said，erupting lava and ash Monday，Nov.28th，2022 as emergency crews went on alert.
      Flows of lava remained mostly contained within the peak's huge caldera，but the eruption could pose a threat to nearby residents if conditions change，the United States Geological Survey reported at 11：45 pm local time Sunday about 15 minutes after the eruption inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
      Mauna Loa has been showing signs of erupting for years，according to the USGS，which said the ongoing eruption was visible from Kona，a town on the west coast of Hawaii's main island about 72 kilometers from the volcano.
      "Lava is still erupting from the peak and is overflowing from the caldera，" the USGS said on its website，referring to the basin at the top of a volcano.While it added there were "no threats to populated areas currently，" it urged area residents to review preparation procedures.
      Hawaii authorities said no evacuation（撤離，疏散） orders have been given，although the peak area and several roads in the region were closed，and two shelters have been opened.
      Robin George Andrews，a scientist，said a larger threat exists if lava begins to pour out of so-called rift zones（裂谷帶）.
      While there is no evidence yet of this occurring now on Mauna Loa， "the fact that it is a dangerous mountain that hasn't erupted since 1984— the longest eruptive pause in its recorded history— is why we should all keep an eye on it，" Andrews said.
      One of six active volcanoes on the Hawaiian islands，Mauna Loa has erupted 33 times since 1843，according to USGS.
      The most recent eruption，in 1984，lasted 22 days and produced lava flows which reached to within about 7 kilometers of Hilo，a city to the northeast which is home to about 44，000 people today.
  
  （1）Which of the following statements would USGS agree with？

  
  A．The eruption time is correctly predicted.
  B．The eruption is within expectation.
  C．The eruption results have been under control.
  D．The eruption will pose a threat to people living nearby.
  （2）What suggestion is given to residents in paragraph 4？

  
  A．Leaving their houses as soon as possible.
  B．Putting up more shelters in a short time.
  C．Listening to evacuation orders often.
  D．Making some preparations.
  （3）According to Robin George Andrews，what's the potential danger？

  
  A．No one knows how to judge the eruptive pause.
  B．There are more people living near the rift zones.
  C．There is a possibility that the lava pours out of rift zones.
  D．All the six active volcanoes on the Hawaiian islands will erupt.
  （4）Why does the author write this passage？

  
  A．To give advice about protecting the environment.
  B．To stress the importance of natural's power.
  C．To tell a piece of news to the readers.
  D．To introduce the history of volcanos.

• 4．    There're 7，000 documented languages currently spoken across the world，but half of them could be endangered，according to a new study.It's predicted that 1，500 known languages may no longer be spoken by the end of this century.
      Researchers from The Australian National University analyzed thousands of languages and highlighted a link between higher levels of schooling and language loss，as regionally leading languages taught in class often overshadow native tongues.Additionally，the density of roads in an area is also to blame.
      "We found that the more roads there are，connecting country to city，and villages to towns，the higher the risk of languages being endangered，" said Professor Lindell Bronham，co-author of the study.
      The study，published in Nature，Ecology and Evolution，estimates the equivalent （等量，對應(yīng)物） of one language is currently lost within every three-month period.But levels of language loss could actually triple（三倍）in the next 40 years，with at least one language per month disappearing unless measures are taken.
      "When a language is lost，we lose so much of our human cultural diversity，" said Professor Bromham. "Fortunately，many of the languages predicted to be lost this century still have fluent speakers，so there's still the chance to invest in supporting communities to boost native languages."
      While past studies have blamed the digital area for causing the language loss—by focusing attention on a few major languages at the expense of smaller ones—today's tech-focused world could hold a solution.
      There're plenty of Internet sites and apps to help new speakers learn languages like Spanish，English and Chinese，but these now extend to specialist apps designed to teach endangered languages or help preserve them.Ma!Iwaidja，for example，is an app that enables those working with speakers of the Iwaidja language to record words，phrases and translations.Another initiative is the Rosetta Project，a global cooperation of language specialists and native speakers working to build an open-access digital library of human languages.
      The UNESCO International Decade of Indigenous Languages （IDIL2022-2032），which begins this year，also aims to engage the global community with the critical issue of language loss.As part of its Global Action Plan，it is creating a network of international stakeholders focused on protecting the rights of indigenous people to restore and preserve their languages.
  
  （1）What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？

  
  A．The reasons and results of the new study.
  B．The importance of the improved transportation.
  C．The impact of education on endangered languages.
  D．Reasons for the risk of endangered native languages.
  （2）What do we know about language loss according to the study？

  
  A．It is stable.
  B．It is reasonable.
  C．It is worsening.
  D．It is uncontrollable.
  （3）What plays an important role in saving indigenous languages？

  
  A．Economy.
  B．Education.
  C．Technology.
  D．Globalization.
  （4）How does the author introduce the idea for language protection？

  
  A．By using findings.
  B．By making analyses.
  C．By making comparisons.
  D．By giving some examples.
