(2022·上海市控江中学高一阶段练习)How many people can speak English Some experts estimate that 1.5 billion people—around one-quarter of the world’s population—can communicate reasonably well in English.
Never in recorded history has a language been as _____36_____ spoken as English is today. The reason why millions are learning it is simple: it is the language of international business and _____37_____, the key to prosperity. It is not just that multinational companies conduct their business in English; it is the language in which Germans speak to Indonesians.
David Gtaddol, the author of English Next, says it is tempting to view the story of English simply as a victory for its native speakers in North America, Britain and Ireland, and Australia— but that would be a _____38_____ . Global English has entered a more complex stage, changing in ways that the English-speaking countries cannot control and might _____39_____ .
An important question one might ask is: whose English will it be in the future Non-nativespeakers now _____40_____ native English speakers by three to one. The majority of _____41_____ in English today take place between non-native speakers. According to David Graddol, many business meetings held in English appear to run more _____42_____ when there are no native English speakerspresent. This is because native speakers are often _____43_____ at ensuring that they are understood in international discussions. They tend to think they need to avoid longer Latin-based words, but in fact _____44_____ problems are more often caused by their use of idioms, metaphors, and phrasal verbs. On one occasion, at an international student conference in Amsterdam, conducted in English, the only British representative was asked to be “less _____45_____” so that the others could understand her.
Professor Barbara Seidlhofer, Professor of English at the University of Vienna, records spoken English _____46_____ between speakers of the language around the world. She says her team has noticed that non-native speakers are _____47_____ standard English grammar in several ways. Even the most fluent speakers sometimes omit the "s" in the third person singular. Many omit definite and indefinite articles where they are _____48_____ in standard English, or put them in where standard English does not use them. Nouns that are not plural in native-speaker English are used as plurals by non-native speakers (eg, “informations”, “knowledges”, advices”). Other variations include “make a discussion”, “discuss about something”, or “phone to somebody”.
Many native English speakers will insist that these are not variations, they are mistakes. “Knowledges”and “phone to somebody” are simply _____49_____. Many non-native speakers who teach English around the world would agree. But language changes, and so do ideas of grammatical _____50_____ .

36.考查副词词义辨析。句意:在有记录的历史上,从来没有一种语言像今天的英语那样被广泛使用。A.well好;B.widely广泛地;C.fully充分地;D.regularly定期地。根据第一段“Some experts estimate that 1.5 billion people—around one-quarter of the world’s population—can communicate reasonably well in English.(一些专家估计,有15亿人——大约占世界人口的四分之一——可以相当好地用英语进行交流)”可见,英语被广泛的使用。故选B项。

38.考查名词词义辨析。句意:《英语的下一步》一书的作者大卫 格塔德尔表示,人们很容易把英语的故事简单地看作是北美、英国、爱尔兰和澳大利亚的母语人士的胜利——但这是错误的。A.mistake错误;B.success成功;C.challenge挑战;D.competition竞争。根据设空处句首的but,可知此句与前面的陈述是相对立的,那么前面的观点是错误的,且后一句“Global English has entered a more complex stage, changing in ways that the English-speaking countries cannot control and might   4    .(全球英语已经进入了一个更加复杂的阶段,以英语国家无法控制甚至可能不喜欢的方式发生着变化)”,英语不在单纯属于“its native speakers in North America, Britain and Ireland, and Australia”。故选A项。

40.考查动词词义辨析。句意:如今,非英语母语人士与英语母语人士的比例为三比一。A.understand理解;B.envy羡慕;C.outnumber数目超过;比……多;D.overload过载。根据前一句“An important question one might ask is: whose English will it be in the future(人们可能会问一个重要的问题:未来会是谁的英语?)”可推测,非英语母语人士超过了英语母语人士,导致英语国家对英语的发展无法控制,短语A outnumber B by three to one,意为“A与B的比例为三比一”。故选C项。
41.考查名词词义辨析。句意:如今,大多数英语交流都发生在非英语母语人士之间。A.encounters偶遇,经历;B. instructions指示;C.negotiations谈判,协商;D.treatments治疗。根据语境,可知,非英语母语人士有经常要用英语交流的经历。故选A项。

Nouns that are not plural in native-speaker English are used as plurals by non-native speakers (eg, ‘informations’, ‘knowledges’, ‘advices’). Other variations include ‘make a discussion’, ‘discuss about something’, or ‘phone to somebody’.(即使是最流利的说话者,有时也会省略第三人称单数中的‘s’。许多人省略了标准英语中要求的定冠词和不定冠词,或者放在标准英语不使用的地方。母语为英语的非复数名词被非母语的人用作复数(如‘信息’、‘知识’、‘建议’)。其他变体包括‘讨论’、‘讨论某件事’或‘给某人打电话’)”可见,非英语母语人士使英语语法有了很多改变。故选D项。
