Ever since the invention of the first telegraph at the end
of the 19th century, English has been spreading around the world. It has a powerful influence in the media, on the Internet and in pop music that is not going to go away.
This communication revolution has turned the world into a “global village” in which everyone needs to talk to each other and so often nowadays that means in English.
More people now speak English as a second language across the world than as a native language. It is estimated that 1.3 billion people will use English as either a first or second language by 2050. But what will that form of English be like? Traditionally,
British English has been taught across the world, but it is only one variety.
Experts believe that the future shape and grammar of English, especially in its spoken form, will no longer be determined in the traditional Englishspeaking countries like Britain and America but in the rest of Europe, Asia and Africa.
International organizations and business communicate with each other in English. But a new pattern of using English is developing that does not look the same to native speakers as “traditional”
English. Researchers
are
now investigating “nonnative” English which is a new form of the language with changes in grammar, pronunciation and meaning. Often meanings and words from other languages find their way into English to produce a new dialect such as “Franglais” which combines aspects of French and English.
You could say this gives English a French flavour. All of these processes are a form of natural evolution. New dialects acquire their own complex features until they become real languages in their own right. Experts are convinced that this will happen in the future as more and more people learn English and call it their own.
36. What does the term “global village” meant? A. The world is a single community which has just the
same size of a village. B. The world has a single economy and culture. C. The world is a single community linked by fast communication. D. The world is a single community in which everyone likes family member. 答案与解析：C 猜词题。根据文章第一自然段最后一句话可知，每个人都需要彼此交流，这意味着如今英语被更加广泛地使用。根据题意，应选C项，世界是一个单一的社会，通过快速的通信联系在一起。 37. It is believed that
________
will largely influence the spoken form of English in the future. A. Britain and America B. Traditional Englishspeaking countries C. Englishspeaking countries except Britain and America D. NonEnglishspeaking countries in the world 答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据文章第二自然段最后一句话可知，专家认为未来英语的形式和语法，尤其是口语形式，不再是像苏格兰和美国这样传统的说英语的国家，而是其他的一些欧洲、亚洲和非洲的国家，根据题意，应选D项。 38. How do dialects become languages in their own right? A. By borrowing pronunciation and grammar rules from English. B. By making up new rules by a great language expert. C. By developing their own new features. D. By combining with British and American English. 答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据文章第三自然段第七句可知，直到以他们自己的权利，变成真正的语言，新方言得到他们自己复杂的特征，根据题意，应选C项。 39. According to the passage, the writer holds the view that in
the future ________. A. British English will die out B. no one will speak traditional English C. there will be more new forms of English D. American English will completely take the place of
British English 答案与解析：C 归纳概括题。根据文章第三段可知，作者认为会出现更多形式的英语，应选C项。 Ⅳ.短文改错 He is born in a farmer's family in Suizhong County, Liaoning Province in June, 1965.

Fine Today is my father's birthday. Early in the morning, I went out to buy him a birthday present. After buying a handbag for my father, I went home by subway train. There were many people on the subway train. But I was very lucky to get a seat. When it stopped at the next station, I saw an old woman with bags in her hands get on the train.
It seemed that she was very tired. People who sat around me pretended that they didn't see her. I sat on my seat thinking what I should do. At last I decided to stand up and asked the old woman to sit down, because I think it is our duty to respect the old and help those who are in trouble. Only in this way can we live a harmonious life. [名师点评] 1. 短文采用的从句较多。如：When it stopped at the next station时间状语从句；It seemed that表语从句；who sat around me定语从句；what I should do宾语从句；who are in trouble定语从句。 2. 文章结尾采用了倒装句式Only in this way...这也给短文增添了不少色彩。 教 材 自 主 回 归
