Languages are dying out all the time. Here are four languages that were once widely spoken but are now

considered as “dead” languages.

Old Norse

Old Norse was spoken and written by the Vikings from about the 7th century. It was used in countries like

Iceland and parts of Russia. The Vikings were famous for their attacks on neighbouring countries, and so Old Norse

had an influence on the languages of the places they attacked, including English. For example, English words such as

“egg, gift, anger, want, trust and score” come from Old Norse.

Middle English

Middle English was spoken in England between the 12th and 15th centuries and was very different from the

English we use these days. In the past, England was highly influenced by Old Norse. So was its language. There are

no manuscripts (手稿) in Middle English as it was much more fashionable to write in French. Middle English gave

way to modern English. One example of the wide use of modern English was Shakespeare’s works.

Hunnir

Hunnir is the most mysterious of the languages on our list. The Huns were a community that spread across

eastern Europe in the 4th and 5th centuries. Despite the Huns’ success in expanding their empire, their language was

never written down. The few words that are known are mainly names-in modern Turkey and Mongolia. Apart from

these, only three words are known; kamos, medos (types of drinks) and strava (a big meal).

Ancient Greek

More than 4,000 years ago, the Greeks spoke an advanced language known today as Ancient Greek, and

developed the first alphabet. Indeed, the English word “alphabet” is taken from the first two letters of the Greek

alphabet: alpha and beta. Although the language is no longer spoken anywhere, it continues to be studied by scholars

around the world and is regarded as one of the most important languages of all time.

21. Which language was spoken by the Vikings?

A. Old Norse. B. Middle English. C. Ancient Greek. D. Hunnir.

22. Why did Middle English disappear?

A. French was a popular written language then. B. Modern English replaced Middle English.

C. Shakespeare didn’t use Middle English. D. Middle English was influenced by Old Norse.

23. Which word comes from Ancient Greek?

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

Iceland is Europe’s westernmost country. Over 1,000 years ago, ancient explorers migrated from northern Europe

to Iceland and established the country. Most visitors’ popular destination is its capital city, Reykjavik, known for its

stylish architecture. The city’s downtown area is lined with shops, art galleries, cafes, and bookstores.

Iceland is one of the most volcanically active nations in the world with a number of hot springs, all of which are

heated naturally by volcanic activity. In fact, Iceland changes energy from these springs into electricity, which powers

and heats people’s homes. As a result, Iceland burns very little fossil (化石) fuel, such as oil and gas. Hot springs are

also popular among tourists. They receive more than 1.3 million visitors a year, who can relax their muscles and

release their tension in the hot water.

Apart from springs, there is a range of outdoor activities for visitors to enjoy elsewhere in the country. “Iceland is

an adventure,” says Squire, whose company organizes adventure trips. “We have Europe’s biggest glaciers ( 冰山),

active volcanoes, cave explorations, and skiing.” One of Iceland’s most popular attractions is caving. Exploring

Iceland’s unusual caves requires only basic caving knowledge and equipment. Ice caves are more challenging,

however, and require special clothes and hiking tools.

If exploring caves and glaciers doesn’t interest you, head south. No trip to Iceland would be complete without a

visit to the Golden Circle, which connects Gullfoss, Geysir, and Thingvellir Valley. Adventurers go to the Thingvellir

Valley, where the land is actually separating and the stony ground beneath your feet frequently shifts. Hold on while

you hike!

24. What is Reykjavik famous for?

A. Fashionable buildings. B. Small shops. C. Art galleries. D. Modern cafes.

25. Where does Iceland mainly get electricity?

A. From solar power. B. From hot springs. C. From oil. D. From gas.

26. What is hiking in Thingvellir Valley like?

A. Risky. B. Enjoyable. C. Boring. D. Rewarding.

27. Who is this passage mainly written for?

A. Scientists. B. The locals. C. Tourists. D. Business travellers.

It was two in the morning, and a koala was caught on a fence. A phone rang in the home of Ken, who was a

volunteer devoted to rescuing wild koalas in Queensland. When he arrived on the scene, Ken put on heavy gloves. If

koalas feel threatened, they bite. He then threw a blanket over the animal for more protection from being bitten. He
