Going
global
The
world’s
population
reached
five
billion
on
the
day
I
was
born.
That
was
in
Indonesia
back
in
1987,
and
my
parents
were
amazed
that
there
were
so
many
people
on
the
planet.
However,since
then
the
population
has
continued
to
increase
at
an
alarming
rate.
(at
a/an…
rate
,以…的速度)In
October
2011,
the
seven
billionth
baby
was
born,
and
experts
predict
that
there
will
be
ten
billion
of
us
before
the
end
of
this
century.
A
number
as
big
as
seven
billion
is
hard
to
imagine.
If
you
said
“hello”
to
a
different
person
every
second,
it
would
take
you
222
years
to
greet
everyone
on
the
planet.
If
seven
billion
people
made
a
human
chain
with
their
hands,
the
chain
would
go
to
the
moon
and
back
nine
times.
The
growth
of
our
human
population
is
surprising.
For
more
than
two
million
years,
humans
moved
around,
finding
plants
to
eat
and
hunting
animals
for
meat（此处是现在分词做目的状语；现在分词作状语是本单元的语法新内容）.
Then,
just
10,000
years
ago,
we
invited
agriculture.
At
that
time,
there
were
only
about
five
million
humans,
but
this
figure
quickly
doubled（double此处做不及物动词，表示翻倍）.
The
population
reached
a
billion
in
1805,
and
since
then
it
has
multiplied
（multiply
adj.
多层的；多样的vt.
乘；使增加；使繁殖；使相乘vi.
乘；繁殖；增加）seven
times.
Experts
believe
that
about
6%
of
all
the
humans
that
have
ever
lived
are
alive
right
now.
The
human
population
has
never
been
bigger,
but
in
some
ways
the
plant
seems
to
be
getting
significantly
（significantly
adv.
显著地；相当数量地）smaller.
In
the
past,
travellers
from
Europe
to
Indonesia
spent
months
at
sea.
Now
you
just
have
to
sit
on
a
plane
for
a
few
hours.
When
you
arrived
in
another
country
a
hundred
years
ago,
you
saw
unfamiliar
styles
of
clothing
and
buildings
and
discovered
a
completely
different
culture.
In
many
places
today,
clothing
and
new
buildings
are
very
similar,
and
people
enjoy
the
same
sports,music,films
and
TV
shows.We
also
buy
the
same
products—smartphones,big
burgers
and
T-shirts—from
huge,global
companies.Although
we
are
on
different
continents,
we
are
to
a
large
extent
（在很大程度上；extent
n.
程度；范围；长度）starting
to
live
the
same
lives（live
the
same
lives,
过着相同的生活，该短语为同源宾语，即谓语和宾语属于同根词，类似的还有
die
a
heroic
death）.
Even
the
languages
that
we
use
are
becoming
more
global.
There
are
around
seven
thousand
languages
in
use
today.
But
the
number
is
decreasing
fast.
I
grew
up
in
a
small
village
where
everyone
spoke
Baras,
one
of
Indonesia’s
local
languages.
Today
like
most
of
the
youth
from
my
village,
I
live
in
the
capital,
Jakarta,and
speak
Indonesian
there.The
only
regular
Baras
speakers
at
present
are
the
older
people
who
have
stayed
in
the
country,so
the
language
is
threatened
with
(be
threaten
with…
受…威胁)
extinction.
The
same
thing
is
happening
around
the
world.
Experts
think
that
the
number
of
different
languages
will
halve
to
just
3,500
by
the
end
of
this
century.（by
后跟时间点多用完成时；本句是“by+将来的时间点”，主句时态用的是将来完成时。）
Where
will
it
stop?
Will
there
be
a
time
in
the
future
when
Earth’s
billions
all
speak
just
one
language,
and
there
are
no
cultural
differences
to
divide
us?
Perhaps
the
planet
would
be
more
peaceful
if
this
happened,
but
I
must
admit
that
the
idea
is
quite
disappointing,
somehow.
I
prefer
to
think
that,
as
our
population
grows（as引导时间状语从句；表示随着…）,
we
can
celebrate
not
the
similarity
but
the
wonderful
differences
of
the
human
race.

走向全球
在我出生的那一天，世界人口达到了50亿。那是1987年在印度尼西亚，我的父母对地球上有这么多的人感到很惊讶。然而，自那时起，人口以惊人的速度继续增长。2011年10月，第70亿个婴儿出生了，专家预测本世纪末将有100亿个婴儿。
70亿这样大的数字是难以想象的。如果你每一秒钟都对另一个人说“你好”，那么你要花222年才能和地球上的每一个人打招呼。如果70亿人用他们的手制造一条人类链，这条链将往返月球9次。
我们人口的增长是惊人的。在两百多万年的时间里，人类到处迁徙，寻找植物吃，猎取动物吃肉。然后，就在一万年前，我们引进了农业。当时，世界上只有大约500万人口，但这个数字很快就翻了一番。人口在1805年达到10亿，从那时起增长了7倍。专家们相信，现在的人口总数已经快要达到历史人口总数的6%。
人类人口从来没有像现在这么多，但从某些方面来说，这个星球似乎正变得越来越小。过去，从欧洲到印度尼西亚的旅行者要在海上度过几个月的时间。现在你只需要在飞机上坐几个小时。当你在100年前到达另一个国家时，你看到了不熟悉的服装和建筑风格，发现了完全不同的文化。今天，在许多地方，服装和新建筑非常相似，人们享受同样的运动、音乐、电影和电视节目。我们还会从大型跨国公司购买同样的产品——智能手机、大汉堡和t恤。虽然我们生活在不同的大陆上，但在很大程度上，我们开始过着同样的生活。
甚至我们使用的语言也变得越来越全球化。现在大约有7000种语言在使用。但是这个数字正在快速下降。我在一个小村庄长大，那里每个人都说印尼当地语言Baras。今天，像我们村里的大多数年轻人一样，我住在首都雅加达，说印尼语。目前，Baras语言的定期使用者只有那些留在这个国家的老年人，所以这种语言正面临灭绝的威胁。同样的事情正在世界各地发生。专家认为，到本世纪末，不同语言的数量将减少一半，仅剩3500种。
它会停在哪里?将来会不会有那么一天，地球上的几十亿人都说一种语言，没有文化差异把我们分开?也许这个星球会更和平，但我必须承认，这个想法是相当令人失望的。我更倾向于认为，随着人口的增长，我们可以庆祝的不是人类的相似之处，而是人类美妙的差异。

My
report
Globalization
has
made
a
great
impact
on
food
in
our
city,and
many
changes
have
taken
place.In
the
past,we
ate
lots
of
traditional
food,such
as
xiaolongbao
and
spring
rolls.Today,food
from
all
over
the
world
is
available
in
the
supermarket,and
online,which
makes
it
easier
for
us
to
enjoy
a
rich
variety
of
meal
options.However,international
fast
food
is
becoming
more
and
more
popular.Many
teenagers
often
feel
the
desire
to
eat
quick
meals
in
fast
food
restaurants.

During
the
21st
century,the
world
population
has
grown
at
an
average
(1)
speed
of
around
1.2%
per
year.To
some
(2)
degree,all
countries
will
see
changes
in
population
over
the
coming
decades.However,these
changes
will
be
different
from
country
to
country.
There
are
some
countries
that
population
experts
are
especially
interested
in,and
these
can
be
(3)
separated
into
two
groups:those
where
the
population
is
rapidly
getting
bigger,and
those
where
it
is
getting
smaller.Many
of
the
world’s
countries
and
in
the
first
group.The
population
has
(4)
become
a
bigger
number
most
rapidly
in
Africa
and
parts
of
Asia.For
example,in
Myanmat,there
were
27.9
million
people
in
1971,but
now
there
are
56.5
million:the
population
has
(5)
become
twice
as
big.
Japan
and
several
countries
in
Eastern
Europe
are
in
the
second
group.The
population
of
Ukraine
(6)
became
a
smaller
number
from
52
million
in
1990
to
43.9
million
in
2020.Experts
have
calculated
that,in
Europe
as
a
whole,the
number
of
births
per
woman
(7)
became
twice
as
small
from
about
2.8
in
1950
to
1.4
in
2005.
High
population
growth
can
have
a
negative
impact
on
the
environment:for
example,some
wild
animals
may
be
threatened
with
(8)
dying
out
completely.Countries
with
falling
populations
may
face
different
problems.They
will
have
a
larger
share
of
elderly
people
and
fewer
people
of
working
age,and
this
may
be
bad
for
the
economy.However,if
governments
start
preparing
for
the
future,these
problems
will
be
less
serious.

your
schoolwork
either.Even
if
your

first,as
you’ll
probably
need
some
skills

was
already
one
of
the
best
in
his
field
when
he
gave

his
studies.The
lesson
from
this
is
that
you
need
skills
and
knowledge,otherwise
it
will
be
hard
to
succeed.

You
don’t

Globalization
has
a
huge
influence
on
all
aspects
of
life,including
language.Some
languages
spread
across
the
world,while
others
become
extinct.For
decades,people
across
the
globe
have
worked
hard
to
protect
the
diversity
of
the
world’s
languages
and
cultures.
In
this
section,you
will
first
read
a
passage
about
the
history
of
the
English
language.You
will
then
watch
a
video
about
the
role
of
English
in
different
countries.

The
development
of
the

5th
century
Anglo-Saxons
arrived
in
England
and
English
developed
from
different
types
of
Germanic
languages.
11th

21st
century
All
you
need
to
know
about
English
If
you
were
travelling
around
the
world
and
had
time
to
learn
only
one
language
in
addition
to
your
mother
tongue,which
language
would
you
choose?English,of
course!
1.
If
you
were
only
interested
in
talking
to
native
speakers,Chinese
would
definitely
be
a
better
choice.Over
1.2
billion
people
speak
Chinese
as
their
first
language,compared
with
less
than
400
million
who
speak
English.However,English
would
be
very
helpful
if
you
weren’t
in
China.You
can
usually
find
English
translations
at
major
tourist
sites
and
airports
all
around
the
world.If
you
needed
information
from
the
Internet.English
would
be
useful
too.About
56%
of
all
web
pages
are
in
English.What’s
more,English
is
an
official
language
in
over
50
different
countries,which
together
cover
more
than
28%
of
all
the
land
on
our
planet.
2.
About
1.5
billion,about
20%
of
the
world’s
population.That
includes
native
speakers,people
who
are
fluent
speakers
in
countries
where
English
is
an
official
language,like
India,Nigeria
and
Singapore,and
all
the
people
who
have
learnt
it
as
a
foreign
language
at
school.
3.
Several
groups
of
people
arrived
in
England
in
the
fifth
century,from
Germany
and
Denmark.We
now
call
them
the
Anglo-Saxons.English
developed
from
different
types
of
Germanic
languages
that
they
spoke.Later,in
the
11th
century,the
Normans
from
northern
France
took
control
of
England,and
about
10,000
French
words
became
part
of
the
English
language.English
also
took
lots
of
words
from
Latin,and
some
words
from
ancient
Greek
and
other
languages.
4.
It
started
to
spread
around
the
world
when
the
British
went
to
live
in
North
America
in
the
17th
century,and
later
in
Australia,New
Zealand
and
South
Africa.The
British
also
took
control
of
parts
of
Asia,the
Caribbean
and
Africa,and
people
there
had
to
learn
English.In
the
20th
century,the
spread
of
English
continued
because
people
from
all
over
the
world
wanted
to
exchange
ideas
with
each
other,in
a
wide
range
of
areas
such
as
trade,education
and
science.
5.
Today,English
is
becoming
the
main
language
for
lessons
in
more
and
more
schools
and
universities
around
the
world,because
many
believe
that
fluent
English
is
very
important
for
people.It
will
help
them
communicate
and
make
friends
with
people
from
other
countries,and
it
will
also
give
them
more
opportunities
to
learn
and
further
develop
their
skills.In
this
century,at
least,English
as
a
global
language
is
here
to
stay.
