The【S2】______languages are spoken by some older members of native groups, but not used for everyday life by younger members. As the【S3】______people die, the language dies with them.
    Until recently, most people were not worried about the loss of languages. There was much mote【S4】______about the loss of different kinds of plants and animals. Now, scientists, cultural experts and many other people are concerned about【S5】______the different languages in the world. They know that when a language is lost, the culture and much of the knowledge of the【S6】______community may be lost with it.
    Languages are the means by which people seek to explain the world they live in. Information about the【S7】______world, such as plants that can be used to heal, often is lost when the language dies. Some experts say the【S8】______of any language is a loss for everyone, not just for the native people who once spoke it.
    Experts are trying many methods to increase speakers of endangered languages. Some【S9】______are small. For example, a language speaker and a learner meet every day for an hour to talk. Other projects are large, such as schools where students are【S10】______only in their native language.

【S2】
选项
答案C
解析 由句子结构可知此处缺的是定语，英语中可作定语的除了形容词，还有非谓语动词，由此可知备选项很多，但根据上下文的语义，in danger of disappearing和spoken by some older members of native groups， but not used for everyday life by younger members可知，应填表示语言处于危险境地的词，故C)正确。
