A.Want.B.Kamos.C.Strava.D.Alphabet.

【答案】l.A2.B3,D

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了四種曾經(jīng)廣泛使用但現(xiàn)在被視為死亡的語言——古諾爾斯語、

中古英語、匈牙利語和古希臘語。

【1題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)OldNorse的“OldNorsewasspokenandwrittenbytheVikingsfromaboutthe7th

century.（古斯堪的納維亞語大約從7世紀開始由維京人使用。）”可知，維京人說的語言是古斯堪的納維亞

語。故選A。

【2題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)MiddleEnglish的uMiddleEnglishgavewaytomodemEnglish.（中世紀英語讓位給現(xiàn)代英

語。）”可知，中古英語的消失是因為現(xiàn)代英語取代了中世紀英語。故選B。

【3題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)AncientGreek的“Morethan4,000yearsago,theGreeksspokeanadvancedlanguageknown

todayasAncientGreek,anddevelopedthefirstalphabet.Indeed,theEnglishword“alphabet“istakenfromthe

firsttwolettersoftheGreekalphabet:alphaandbeta.（4000多年前，希臘人說一種先進的語言，今天被稱為古

希臘語，并開發(fā)了第一個字母表。事實上，英語單詞alphabet就是取自希臘字母表的前兩個單詞alpha和beta。）”

可知，單詞Alphabet來自古希臘語。故選D。

B
