16、r LessCLanguages have been (coming and going 来来往往) 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(居住于, 生活于) by hunter-gatherers,small, tightly knit ( 联系 )groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of
17、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 more5settled and fewer in
18、 number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization. the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory( 强制的 ) education. Especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades,all have caused many Languages to disappear,and dominant languages such as E
19、nglish Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6 800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven.( even adj.公平的;平均的) The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people, while hot.,wet zones have
20、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
21、languages are spoken by fewer people than that.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 o

25、ep using our old devices(装置 ) well after they go out of style. That bads news for the environment and our wallets as these outdateddevices consume much more energy than the newer ones that dothe same things.To figureout how much power these devices are using,Callie Babbittand her colleagues at the R
26、ochester Institute ofTechnology inNew Yorktracked the environmental costs foreach product throughout itslife from when its minerals aremined(开采 ) to when we stop using the device. This methodprovided a readout(读数) for how home energy use hasevolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped bygener
27、ation Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, andbox-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene(出现) in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.As we accumulated more devices, however, we didnt throw out ou
28、r old ones. The living -room television is replaced and gets planted(布置,安) in the kids room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house, said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from8four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. Were not just keepingthese ol
29、d devices we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitts team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (排放) more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.So whats the
30、solution (解决方案) ? The teams data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve(提供;服务) more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand(点播) enterta
31、inment viewing on tablets ( instead of TVs and desktop computers )could cut energy consumption by 44%.32. What does the author think of new devices?A. They are environment -friendly.B. They are no better than the old.(not better than 不比 .好 no better than 几乎等于not more than 不超过 no more than 只不过 )C. They cost more to use at home.D. They go out of style quickly.33. Why did Babbi
