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 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 around 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 6 billion people speak English 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 and faster accreting new foreign language users unlike any language has ever done before. ” he said.
( )1. 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
( )2. According to David Graddol, which of the following will possibly be one of the languages that will be most widely spoken
A. Japanese. B. Arabic.
C. Russian. D. German.
( )3. 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
( )4. How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English
A. Two. B. Three.
C. Four. D. Five.
( )5. 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

Ⅴ. 阅读理解(6分钟，10分）
The English language is different from any other language. But English words do not stay the same. The language is always changing. We need new words for new inventions and new ideas. Different words come into use, or older words are used in a new way. English can change by borrowing words from other languages. “Tomato” was borrowed from Mexico, the word “coffee” came from Turkey, and the word “tea” came from China.
Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too. New words are also made by putting two words together. “Postman” and “grandfather” are words made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. The word “photo” was made from photograph by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane” was made by cutting off the front part of “airplane”.
“Smog” was made by using by only the first two and last two letters from the words “smoke” and “fog”. The names of people and products can become new words. Our sandwich was named after a man named “Sandwich”.
( )1. The English language needs new words ________.
A. to make it more beautiful
B. to make up some stories
C. for new inventions and new ideas
( )2. The passage makes you think that ________ .
A. all the new words are borrowed from other languages
B. languages do not stay the same all the time
C. the English language has more words than other languages
( )3. On the whole, the passage is about ________.
A. borrowing words from other language
B. naming new products
C. the development of the English language
( )4. The word “coffee” is an example to show that ________.
A. the English language is always changing very fast
B. English can change by borrowing words from other languages
C. English is not as perfect as some other languages.
( )5. Which of the following is TRUE
A. New words in the English language come into being in different ways.
B. New English words must be longer than the older ones.
C. All the languages except English always stay the same.
