English is fast becoming the language
of science around the world, but what is its
future among
everyday
speakers? One
expert
points
out
that
the
percentage(
比率
)
of
native
English
speakers
is
declining(
降低
)
globally while the languages of other rapidly
growing regions are being spoken by
increasing numbers of people. But
English will continue to remain widespread and
important.
However,
British
language
scholar
David
Graddol
says
English
will
probably
drop
in
dominance(
主导
) by
the
middle of this century to rank,
after Chinese, about equally with Arabic,
Hindi, and Urdu. “The number of people
speaking English as a first language continues to
rise, but it
isn’t rising nearly as
fast as the numbers of many other languages
aro
und the world, simply because
the main population group has been
largely in the less developed countries where
languages other
than English have been
spoken,” he says.
In a recent
article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted
that three languages
that are not
near the top of the list of the most
widely spoken now might be there soon. These are
Bengali, Tamil,
and Malay, spoken in
south and Southeast Asia.
David Crystal,
the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the
English Language, says about
1.5
billion of the world’s six billion people speak it
as a second tongue compared to the 400 million
native speakers. But another expert on
the English language says Mr. Graddol
underestimates (
低估
)
the future of its dominance. “Nobody
quite knows what’s going to happen because no
language has
been in this position
before. But all the evidence
(
证据
) suggests that the
English language snowball
is rolling
down a hill and is getting faster,”
he
said.
36. In David
Graddol’s opinion, English will
_______.
A.
remain widespread and important
B. be more important than any other
language
C. lose its
dominant position
D.
die away in the near future
37. The
underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies
that ______.
A.
snowballs will roll down faster than language
balls
B. the English
language snowball is rolling down faster than any
time in the past
C.
English language will soon drop in dominance
D. more and more
language users will choose English
38.
How many experts does the passage mention who
express their ideas about the future of
English?
A.
2.
B. 3.
C. 4.
D. 5.
39. According to David
Graddol, which of the following will possibly be
one of the languages that
will be most
widely spoken?
A.
Malay.
B. Arabic.
C. Urdu.
D. German.
40. What should be the best title for
the passage?
A. English
Remaining the Dominant Position
B. The Future of English? Who Knows?
C. Opinions from
Different Experts
D.
The English Language Snowball Rolling Down
B
Language
learning
begins
with
listening.
Children
are
greatly
different
in
the
amount
of
listening they do before
they start speaking, and later starters are often
long listeners .Most children
will
“obey” spoken
instructions
some time before they can speak, though the word
“obey” is hardly
accurate as a
description of the eager and delighted cooperation
usually shown by the child .Before
they
can speak, many children will also ask questions
by gesture and by making questioning noises.
Any attempt to study the development
from the noises babies make to their first spoken
words
leads to considerable
difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making
noises, and that during the first
few
months one or two noises sort themselves as
particularly expressive as delight, pain,
friendliness,
and
so
on.
But
since
these
can’t
be
said
to
show
the
baby’s
intention
to
communicate,
they
can
