For the first time ever scientists prepare to set about a 3-year-long project,the Nekton Mission,to explore the Indian Ocean and document changes taking place beneath the waves that could affect the surrounding region over the coming decades.
The ambitious exploration team will reach one of the last major unexplored frontiers on the planet,a vast body of water that’s already feeling the effects of global warming with rising water temperatures damaging its coral reefs(珊瑚礁).Understanding the Indian Ocean’s ecosystem is important not just for the species that live in it,but also for the 2.5 billion people living in the region.
The Nekton Mission is supported by more than 40 organizations.Researchers will spend seven weeks surveying underwater life,map the sea floor,and drop sensors(传感器)to depths of up to 6,560 feet in the seas around the Seychelles.
The Seychelles aims to become a leader in the development of a“blue economy”that draws on the resources of the ocean.It relies on fishing and tourism,but has lately also been exploiting oil and gas from beneath the sea floor.“Our ocean is undergoing rapid ecological transformation by human activities.The Nekton Mission is vital to help us better know our ocean space and resources to make wise decisions.Only when we know what we have in the ocean and what is its value call we properly decide what to exploit and what to leave untouched,”said Jumeau,the Seychelles’ambassador to the UN.
The mission will conduct further dives in other parts of the Indian Ocean over three years.The researchers expect to discover new species and send videos to the world by satellite.The research will provide information for a summit(峰会)about the Indian Ocean planned for late 2021.
1.Why do the scientists plan to explore the Indian Ocean?
A. To save the endangered creatures living in the sea.
B. To discover the damage mankind has done to the ocean.
C. To make the best use of the natural resources in the sea.
D. To protect its species and people living around the region.
2.Which is not included in the tasks to be carried out around the Seychelles?
A. Drawing maps of the sea floor. B. Finding treasures under the sea.
C. Putting sensors into the deep sea. D. Studying underwater life.
3.What can be learned about the Nek-ton Mission?
A. It will extend beyond the Indian Ocean.
B. It will benefit a lot from“blue economy”.
C. It will contribute to the 2021 conference.
D. It will find solutions to global warming.
4.What can be a suitable title fur the text?

D. Indian Ocean:the Last Unexplored Frontier on the Planet
There are about 6,500 languages spoken throughout the world,but about half of them are in danger of disappearing.
One of the primary causes driving language loss is that support for language communities drastically varies.While some languages are recognized by governments and taught in schools,the majority go unrecognized,unsupported,and untaught,leaving communities ill-equipped to pass their languages on to future generations.Tsakonian,a“dialect(方言)”in Greece,has declined to the point that only 100 speakers remain.
When a language disappears,many other things can go away as well.For example,parts of a community’s culture,knowledge and identity can also be lost.
One organization seeking to save world languages is Wikitongues,which was founded as a school project by Daniel Bogre Udell in 2012,when he began recording short oral histories in New York to explore the city’s rich cultural diversity with the simple idea:tell me about yourself or your home in your native language.When he posted the videos online,the channel quickly got wide attention.
There are currently over 400 languages and dialects represented on Wikitongues’channel and more than 1,500 people from 70 different countries have added videos to it.But that’s far from enough.The organization seeks to serve as an Internet resource to keep as many languages as possible alive.Udell believes they can make it happen.“There are many examples of languages that disappeared but later returned to use.Hebrew went extinct in the 4th century BC,and was revived(恢复)in the 1800s.Now once again,it's the mother tongue of half of the world’s Jewish population,”said Udell.
1.What can be inferred about Tsakonian in Greece?
A. It’s hard to speak and understand.
B. It will definitely die out in the future.
C. It’s not allowed to speak in Greece.
D. It lacks recognition and support.
2.What effect may be brought by the extinction of languages?
A. Harming future generations. B. Reducing cultural diversity.
C. Preventing daily communication. D. Changing school projects.
3.What’s the purpose of Wikitongues?
A. To support people in saving their languages.
B. To revive languages that have disappeared.
C. To record enough short oral histories.
D. To explore the world’s rich cultures.
4.What does Udell want to tell us by giving Hebrew as an example in the last paragraph?
A. All extinct languages will be brought back to life.
B. It’s possible to prevent languages from dying out.
C. More languages will be presented on Wikitongues’channel.
D. Hebrew has become one of the most popular languages in the world.
