评测练习
本课时所有课堂活动结束以后对学生进行了当堂测评，评测方式是下课后下发评测练习。具体评测内容及设计目的如下：
内容

At 6. ________， more people speak English as their first, second or a 7. ________ language than ever before. People in 8. ________Asia such as India speak 9. ________ English. China may have the 10. ________ number of English learners.
II. Reading comprehension.
Everyday, 340 million people speak it. One billion people are learning it and it is said that by 2050, half of the world's population will be using it. What are we talking about? That is the global language—English.
The English language started in Britain in the 5th century. It is a mixed language. It was built up when German, Scandinavian and French invaders settled in England and created a common language for communication.
Today it is the official language of the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and Ireland as well as many islands in the Caribbean. Many other countries and areas use it for politics and business, for example, India, Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines. English is also one of the official languages of Hong Kong.
But global advertising and pop music mean that in most countries, you will see or hear some English. Thanks_to McDonald's, we all know about “burgers”， “fries” and “milkshakes”. Songs by Madonna, Britney Spears and Celine Dion are in English. We can sing along, even if we do not understand what we are singing!
English is a messy language. Every year, dictionaries include new words that talk about popular culture, for example, computer-related words such as “blogging”， “download” and “chat room”. Also words that teenagers use are included. Who does not know “cool”， “OK” and “hello”？
Other languages also influence English. Many English words come from French. Words like “café” and expressions like “c'est la vie” (that is life) are all part of the English language. On the other hand, the French language includes English words like “le weekend” and “le camping”. German words are also part of English. Words like “kindergarten” come from the German language.
1. How many people in the world are using English now?

目的
该评测练习的目的是检测学生对本节课所学内容的掌握情况。第一题为文章大意理解概括题。第二题为话题相关的主题阅读。通过做题效果可以检测学生对于本节课话题及内容的再次回顾，再次引发学生对于本单元话题的思考，促进学生形成合乎情理的世界观。

7. foreign 8. South 9. fluent 10. largest
II. Reading comprehension.
1. B 细节理解题。由第一段的第一句可知答案为B。A项只是学习英语的人数。
2. C 推理判断题。根据第二段的第一句“The English language started in Britain in the 5th century.” 可知英语始于5世纪，而现在是21世纪，故答案为C。
3. D 细节理解题。由第三段的第一、第二句可知本题选D。
4. A 词义推测题。画线词所在句子要表达的意思是：由于麦当劳，我们知道了许多词，如“burgers”，“fries”和“milkshakes”，故选A(由于，因为)。
5. A 推理判断题。由第五、第六段可知随着时间的推移、新事物的出现，英语新引进了许多词，故它是不断变化的，因此A项表述是正确的。其他语言也影响英语，但不是所有的其他语言，因此B项表述不正确；C项表述的原因文中未提到；D项错在the greatest。
