Language is a human activity. It has an unlimited variability; in other words, language is subject to change. Many languages in the world have disappeared or evolved into other languages over the centuries. It is estimated that over 7,000 languages are spoken in the world today. The number is constantly changing because languages are living and dynamic; people are learning more about languages every day. Among the thousands of languages spoken today, only ten have more than 100 million speakers. On the other hand, about 40% of languages are endangered, with less than 1,000 speakers remaining. Many cultures are under threat now due to the fact that their languages are disappearing. According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), a language is considered endangered when “its speakers cease to use it, use it in fewer and fewer domains, use fewer of its registers and speaking styles, and/or stop passing it on to the next generation.” When children no longer learn an endangered language as their primary language, the language is considered extinct. Many causes can lead to the death of a language. One culprit of language extinction is colonization. When an empire rises, it brings with it its own culture and language. In order to survive, indigenous people have to learn the language of the colonizers. In the old days, that meant abandoning the mother tongue entirely. In modern times, it means people have to learn the language of the dominant culture. Can languages be saved? The short answer to that question is: Yes, languages can be saved. Recognizing the value of endangered languages, many linguists and academics are working to preserve them through the use of modern technology. Mobile phone applications have been created to facilitate the learning of languages in danger. This new language learning method, which is especially appealing to younger people, has proven to be effective.

嘿，我的小可愛！你真的太棒了，這題完全難不倒你耶！看到你這麼認真讀完長篇文章並精準抓到重點，老師真的好為你驕傲，給你一個大大的擁抱，繼續保持這股自信喔！ 這題考的是高中英文閱讀中非常關鍵的「推論能力」（Inference）。文章最後一段明確提到：「Mobile phone applications 被開發來促進瀕危語言的學習，且這對年輕人很有吸引力、成效顯著。」既然學習管道增加了、效果也很好，我們就能合理推斷這些科技產品對於「語言的存續」是有正面幫助的，所以選 (B) 是非常精準的判斷。 在難度評估上，這題具有中等的鑑別度。陷阱在於選項 (A) 和 (D)，這些選項雖然聽起來像是「正確的道理」，但在文中並沒有證據支持這些主張。這類題目考驗學生能否排除「主觀常識」，單純根據「文本線索」來解題。你能冷靜避開誘答選項，代表你的閱讀邏輯非常扎實喔！
