一、阅读理解
The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s times is estimated to have been about five million.Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language,mainly in the United States,Canada,Great Britain,Ireland,South Africa,Australia and New Zealand.In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas,there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.
In fact,it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages.The purposes of English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.
The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important work in science, technology, and other fields is being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries,especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.

Chinese Characters Help Improve IQ
Chinese characters may be the reason why local children aged between 6 and 12 display a higher IQ than their peers in Britain, Germany and Australia.
The pictographic(象形文字的) nature of the Chinese writing system helps to inspire the thinking ability of children.Their intelligence develops better while they learn the characters.1
I am a retired Chinese language teacher from Malaysia.From my experiences,I have long noticed that Chinese-medium-educated students always excel in mathematics when compared with those taught in other languages.2The words for numerals are all monosyllabic(单音节的) in Chinese. In contrast,their equivalents(对应词) in Malay have two or three syllables, like sa-tu,du-a, ti-ga,em-pat, li-ma, e-nant. 3 Their English equivalents----one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, hundred, thousand, million -----include multi-syllabic words, too. 4 Children easily find that it is in the Chinese language that they can do the job fastest.Children taught in Chinese find it easier to learn numerals and can do their calculations much faster.This has been repeatedly proved by reports on Chinese-medium-educated students winning prizes in International Mathematical Olympiads.
Mathematics has a lot to do with IQ tests,as it is well proved that children good at numbers tend to have a stronger reasoning ability. 5 Teach the children Chinese so that they can think in the language. Keep their cutting edge in mathematics with the aid of Chinese characters, and this will improve their IQ.
A. The secret lies in the Chinese characters.
B. They are much quicker at learning languages.
C. This was discovered by Dr Zeng, assistant professor of psychology at NUS.
D. The difference between them is striking when it comes to memorising the multiplication table(乘法表).
E. So,I would like to call on Chinese parents to treasure the language of our ancestors.
F. It takes a longer time to pronounce these words.
G. Therefore, I’m going to teach mathematics if possible.
答案：1~5 CAFDE
