阅读下面的材料,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

    Each year on Feb 21, UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) holds an International Mother Language Day (IMLD). The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the world's languages; many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact.

    What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lost-not just sounds and marks but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. We keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Kill a language and all these are killed too.

    Through IMLD, more and more people come to realize he terrible situation and try to stop it.

    Google's 2018 Endangered (濒临灭绝的) Languages Project is a good example. Many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload (上传 ) texts, audios and videos to the project website. They want to introduce the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world.

    The Miami Project is the same kind of effort to revive the language spoken by the Miami tribes (部落) of the United States. Project members work to encourage people to study and communicate with this language, which died out in the 1960s.

    These activities give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep Languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They "spread the word " to save the world.

    So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling of our mother language. This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela: "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart. "

Harbin is known as "the City of Ice". Usually, it has heavy snow from the early November. It's time for Harbin to come to life and attract visitors all over the world. 

Harbin Ice and Snow World has been a business card since 1999. This 816,682-square-meter park is the largest ice and snow theme park in the world. Visitors can enjoy more than 1,000 artworks made of ice and snow. And also, they can try the super ice slide (滑梯). The number of the ice slides this year is increased from 8 to 14 and the longest one is 512 meters. 

Visitors from the south of China is a large part of the tourism crowd. Chen Ling, a visitor, said, "I'm from Guangzhou. I come here to enjoy the hot winter. My trip will last about a week. I hope I will have a great time!" However, the southern visitors may be less prepared for the cold. So the local government gives the most important suggestion: Pack enough warm clothes. The more, the better. A Harbin taxi driver said, "My wife works in a hotel. These days we're busy but we both feel very excited. Ice and snow are important parts of our city. All the visitors are sure to feel the enthusiasm (热情) of us. Welcome to my hometown!"

You may feel bored in winter sometimes. But Harbin Ice and Snow World can make the long, cold months beautiful and creative.

Do you know cosmic radiation(宇宙辐射)? Have you ever seen the auroras ( 极 光 ) in the sky? Cosmic radiation creates these pretty lights in the North and South Pole areas. It seems that cosmic radiation is a beautiful gift from space. But for some people, it can be dangerous.

A 53-year-old flight attendant(空中乘务员) in South Korea, who spent about 1, 022 hours flying each year, passed away due to cancer. His death was thought to be connected to great exposure (暴露) to cosmic radiation. During his lifetime, nearly half of his flights crossed the areas in and around the North Pole, where cosmic radiation is very strong.

Cosmic radiation from space is hitting Earth nonstop, coming from both the sun and other stars in the sky.

____ . Earth's magnetic field (磁场) and atmosphere (大气层) protect us from most cosmic radiation. The magnetic field is the strongest near the equator and the weakest at the poles. People living at higher latitudes (纬度), like in Heilongjiang province, are exposed to a bit more cosmic radiation than those living at lower latitudes, like in Hainan province. Also, when you go higher in an airplane, the thin atmosphere increases exposure to cosmic radiation.

Cosmic radiation can create health risks. However, what makes cosmic radiation dangerous also makes it useful. The high speed and energy of cosmic radiation have provided wonderful ideas for treating some cancer. Scientists can now produce man-made radiation similar to cosmic radiation. Compared to the present ways of treating cancer, it can work better with less harm to healthy parts of the body around them.
