问题 According to linguists, how many languages will there be in the world by the year 2100?
What does the writer want to convey by saying "It’s becoming a struggle, too, to find many who can say ’thank you’ in the Navajo language of the American Indian tribe (ahehee), or ’hello’ in the Maori language of New Zealand (kiaora)."
选项 A、To show it needs great courage to say borrowed words in some places.
B、To analyze the reason why some languages are disappearing.
C、To show that some languages are already seriously affected by other languages.
D、To show that it is horrible to be the only one who can speak a certain language.
答案C
解析 本段的意思是：如果你去看看美国印第安部落有多少人在他们的纳瓦霍语言中使用“thank you”而不是“ahehee”，新西兰毛利语有多少人说“hello”而不说“kiaora”，你就会发现这已经成了一种生存斗争。在理解本段内容的基础上可以分析出作者写这几句话想要表达的主旨。
