It is 30 because the weather has been a lot warmer over the past few years, which 31 the melting(溶化) of the ice in the Antarctic. This will soon cause water levels to 32 and flood parts of the world. Many people ignore this problem because they feel 33 they can't do anything about it and have more 34 things to worry about. If we all 35 so, then our ozone layer (臭氧层) will be 36 and the planet will no longer be able to make life continue to exist. We should do our best to limit the use of our planet's37 resources and keep our air clean. 38 , future generations will suffer from our 39 .Some might feel that they can't stop global warming from 40 . But if every person does his or her part in keeping the air clean, then it will become a 41 effort. Sure, there are some things that cause pollution and that we won't be able to 42 change. This may include cars burning oil, but we can 43 adjust some of these things.

In all directions the empty wilderness of Antarctica stretched away from me, the only feature on the landscape was the division between snow and sky. I gazed sadly at my team. They were rapidly disappearing over the horizon.I was leading an expedition(探险队) attempting to reach the south pole. The team was made up of ordinary women from all around the world—from Jamaica, India, Singapore and Cyprus—many of whom had never seen snow, or spent a night in a tent, before we set off. Our aim was to be the most international all-female team to reach the South Pole.As I watched, the rest of the team had marched on, unaware that I was not with them. By the time I realised that my sledge was firmly stuck, the team were already a long way ahead of me. I called out to Era, my teammate from Brunei. "Era! Stop!"Getting no response I called again, but my shouts were carried away in the opposite direction by the wind. Seconds passed. Nothing. I was gradually being left alone, completely defenseless against the fatally low temperatures of Antarctica.My strength increased when I thought of a cold, lonely death. I pulled again my sledge, which moved a little. I removed the ice with my ski-pole and boot, desperately trying to break the sledge free. The sledge shot forward, knocking me off balance. I struggled to my feet and set off after the team.I caught up just as Reena, my teammate from India, looked behind her and noticed there was one person missing. She swung around on her skis in shock and spotted me in the near distance.As we continued, my panic slowly faded. For the rest of the day each of the team was glancing over their shoulder every few minutes. They were not going to risk losing me again.46. What is special about the expedition team?A. They were all female.B. They were all professional.C. They made the longest expedition.D. They had been strictly trained.47. What made the author get her sledge out of the ice was .A. the shouts from her teammatesB. her strong desire to liveC. the sudden change in wind directionD. the natural beauty ahead48. At last, each of the team members kept looking back .A. to avoid being attacked from behindB. to make sure that none fell behindC. to check the distance they had coveredD. to keep a record of the route they took49. Which may be the best title of the passage?A. How to Survive in AntarcticaB. A Mysterious Trip to the South PoleC. A Female Expedition TeamD. Being Left Behind in the SnowBAs the world's largest terrestrial carnivore (陆地食肉动物), the polar bear is the king of the great white north. Adult males can measure more than 9 feet in length and weigh between 770 and 1,430 pounds. The polar bears have a strong body while their heads are narrow with small, rounded ears.Polar bears can be found in northern Canada, Greenland, Norway and Russia, and there have been reports that polar bear tracks have been found as far north as the North Pole. The 5,000,000-square-mile range of the polar bear circles the Arctic and contains pieces of open water where seals are easily caught.Polar bears live on the annual Arctic sea ice that provides a platform from which they can hunt. They hunt seals on the sea ice by breaking into seal dens in the sea ice. The dens aren't visible from above, but seeing is less important than smelling to a polar bear—with their sharp sense of smell, polar bears can sense the breathing holes of seals in their dens beneath the snow and ice. As the southern edge of the Arctic ice cap melts in summer, polar bears are forced to stay on land and spend their summers fasting(禁食), living off body fat stored from hunting in spring and winter.With about 22,000 polar bears living in the wild, the species is not endangered at the moment, but its future is far from certain. Climate change is causing the disappearance of sea ice from which polar bears hunt seals. Sea ice in the Arctic is melting earlier and forming later each year. People have reached an agreement that controls the hunting of polar bears and directs each nation to protect their habitats, but it does not protect the bears against the biggest man-made threat to their survival: global warming. If current warming trends continue, scientists believe that polar bears may disappear within 100 years.50. Polar bears search for seals mainly through their .A. eyesB. earsC. nosesD. necks51. The underlined word "dens" in Paragraph 3 most probably means " ".A. the skin of the wild animalsB. the home of wild animalsC. the breathing hole of sealsD. water of the deep sea52. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. A polar bear measures at least 9 feet long.B. Polar bears can be found in both the North Pole and the South Pole.C. Polar bears stop hunting in summer because seals are hidden at that time.D. Polar bears may die out as a result of climate change.53. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the polar bear is an endangered species at presentB. we should protect seals in order to keep the food chain in the ArcticC. the polar bear can be found near the North Pole and the South PoleD. people will do something to protect polar bearsCShip tourism to Antarctica is on the rise: More than 35,000 tourists are expected to visit Antarctic this summer. In 1992-1993, 6,750 visited Antarctica, according to the Antarctica Treaty. All of this tourism, however, is putting both tourists and the environment in great danger.Among the tourist ships that visit the continent, the Explorer, a Canadian ship, was one of the first. Put to use in 1969, it was built to carry tourists to Antarctica. Last week, however, it became the first commercial passenger ship to sink beneath the waters. Fortunately, all of the passengers and crew members were rescued from the ship. However, the sunken ship endangered the Antarctic's fragile(脆弱的) environment. The ship was estimated to be holding 48,000 gallons of fuel.The accident was not unexpected. Both the US and UK had warned a conference of the Antarctic Treaty member countries in May that the tourism situation in this area was a potential disaster. The US said in a paper, people "should take a hard look at tourism issues now, especially those related to ship safety." Although the Antarctic seas are relatively(相对地) calm, floating ice causes a potential threat to ships. The owner of the Explorer blamed the sinking on a fist-like hole in the ship created by ice.Many of the other large ships now visiting Antarctica are not designed especially against thick ice. Such ships generally can only come to the continent in summer. But the tourist rush is pushing ships into dangerous situations. "The increasing number of ships operating in Antarctic means that the ship are under great pressure to get there in time for the key visiting sites," the British government wrote in a paper at the meeting of member countries.As a natural frontier, Antarctica is in a messy legal situation. There are no obvious answers as to who is responsible for dealing with the threat that tourist may cause to human life and the environment.There is no coast guard for Antarctica. Do we want it to become Disneyland, or do we need some controls?54. Which of the following is true according to this passage?A. Antarctica tourism has a history of about 22 years.B. The number of tourists to the Antarctic is over 5 times as large as that of 22 years ago.C. The tourism boom has caused holes in the floating ice in the Antarctic.D. The Antarctica Treaty is responsible for the problem.55. The sinking of the Explorer .A. led to a conference about the tourism situation in the AntarcticB. was caused by the rough seasC. had been predictedD. did harm to the Antarctic56. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. a Disneyland will be built in the AntarcticB. fewer people are visiting the Antarctic because of the warnings givenC. not all the ships are suitable to go to the AntarcticD. some ships take risks visiting the Antarctic in other seasons rather than in summer57. In this passage, the writer suggests that .A. people had better not make a tour of the AntarcticB. ships to the Antarctic should be built strong enoughC. there should be legal controls over tourism in the AntarcticD. the Antarctic's environment is fragile58. What attitude does the writer hold towards Antarctic tourism?A. Supportive.B. Positive.C. Indifferent.D. Anxious. DTens of thousands of baby penguins face starvation after two giant icebergs broke off the Antarctic ice sheet and blocked their parents' way to feeding areas.Adelie and emperor penguins nesting on the Ross Island are now forced to walk long distances over the icebergs to obtain food for their chicks, born during the November-December breeding season.“The penguins are having to walk 50 km further than usual to reach the sea," said Dean Peterson. The flightless birds travel on land at just one to two km per hour.The problem could halve the chick survival(存活) rate at the three Adelie penguin colonies on Ross Island—estimated at 130,000 breeding pairs. In all Antarctica, there is an estimated three million Adelie penguin breeding pairs.Around 12,000 breeding pairs of emperor penguins, the largest penguin species at up to four feet tall, are also affected.The icebergs broke from the vast Ross Ice shelf, south of New Zealand, in March 2000 and are now sandwiched between Ross Island and Franklin Island, 93 miles to the north.Scientist Peterson estimated that penguins were taking days to make the round trip to the sea to fish, and then back to their nests to regurgitate(反刍) food for their chicks.“At tha t point they were quite tired and probably don't have much to regurgitate," he said. Penguins already have long odds on reaching adulthood, with only 10 percent surviving beyond adolescence(青春期).“We are probably looking at halving that again—we are sitting down at maybe the five percent rate," Peterson said, adding some penguins already appeared to be leaving the Ross Island to breed elsewhere.Penguins come ashore to breed and then take it in turns to leave the nest to fetch fish and other sea food to feed their young.Researchers say large blocks of the Antarctic ice sheet are breaking off for several reasons, including global warming.Emperor and Adelie penguins are limited to Antarctica. The emperors weigh up to 66 pounds while Adelie penguins are much smaller, weighing around 11 pounds.59. After the long trip, the mother penguins .A. are too fired to feed their youngB. can't bring up much to feed their youngC. are too hungry themselvesD. have already eaten up all the food60. The underlined phrase “have long odds on" probably means .A. have little chance ofB. have no difficulty inC. spend long time inD. have great hope of61. From what scientist Peterson said, we infer that .A. the survival rate of penguins is droppingB. there are few penguins left on Ross IslandC. the present situation can cause the penguins to die outD. penguins usually have a high survival rate62. Which of the following best supports the main idea of the passage?A. Global warming caused the icebergs to break off.B. The long trip made mother penguins too tired to feed their young.C. The change of weather affects penguins.D. Broken icebergs endanger penguin chicks. 答案一、单词拼写(依据中文提示拼写单词)1. extreme2. promote3. abnormal4. numb5. tiresome6. depressing7. discouraged8. emergency9. inspiration二、单词拼写(单句首字母填空)10. state11. depth12. adapted13. trapped14. severe15. exploration三、单项选择16.

But they do not really know what they are talking about because they rarely get a chance to eat it. Most of the restaurants in large towns have foreign owners and serve foreign food. When visitors are invited to eat in an English home, their hosts often feel they must offer them something foreign. Those of us who do know English food are aware that at its best it can be really very good. On the other hand it is true to say that it is sometimes terrible. Part of the problem is that we are not really interested in food—we eat to live, we do not live to eat. So we don’t generally spend the necessary time and effort needed to cook really good meals. We prefer food that is simple and easy to cook, or ready prepared food which only needs heating up before eating.You can find that best English food is in the country, where life is slower and people are not in such a hurry. But, of course, most visitors come to London. They come because they are interested in shopping and sightseeing. They do not come because of the food, so why should they complain about it?36. When English people have guests they ______.A. think it is better to cook some unusual foodB. prefer to take their guests to restaurantsC. have to serve the food their guests are used to havingD. prefer to serve them English food37. The writer thinks that ______.A. we live to eat, but not eat to liveB. we do not eat to live, we live to eatC. we eat to live, but not live to eatD. we eat to live, we live to eat38. People like to cook ______.A. in a complicated wayB. with only fresh vegetablesC. some typical English foodD. in a quick and easy way39. The last paragraph suggests ______.A. the criticism of English food by visitors is unfairB. it is possible to find good English food in towns but it takes time to findC. apart from food, people also come to go shop－ping and sightseeingD. if people complain about English food, they will get better foodBWithin a few short years, girls in Europe have be－come heavier smokers than boys according to a British study presented (递交) last week to an international conference on smoking.Antismoking activists (积极分子) at the second Tobacco or Health conference in the Canary Islands pointed out that while adults were giving up smoking in ever growing numbers, more and more young people were taking up the habit, particularly girls.One in four 15-year-olds is a regular smoker, ac－cording to a study made in 27 countries in Europe and the United States, Canada and Israel—by Edinburgh University together with the World Health Organization.In Western Europe, girls were more likely than boys to smoke. In Germany or in England, one third of the girls were smokers compared to one in four boys. In Eastern Europe, the girls “still fall behind” those in the Western Europe, but were “catching up” quickly, said the study.The study dealt with the behavior of 15-year-olds in seven European countries over four-year period be－tween 1986 and 1998.The percentage of young women smoking went from 17 percent to 36 percent in Austria, from 17 per－cent to 28 percent in Norway, from 21 percent to 28 percent in Hungary.In the seven countries and regions—Austria, Fin－land, Hungary, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Wales—more girls smoked than boys in 1998, with the exception of Hungary.40. The study was made by ______.A. Edinburgh UniversityB. the World Health OrganizationC. Oxford UniversityD. Edinburgh University and the World Health Or－ganization41. The country where the number of young women smokers increases fastest is ______.A. NorwayB. AustriaC. HungaryD. Sweden42. The main idea of the passage is to ______.A. introduce something about girl smokers in EuropeB. report something interesting happened in EnglandC. describe the present condition of Europe smokersD. warn young people around the world against smokingCMartha’s Vineyard (葡萄园) got its name from its discoverer, Artholomew Gasbnold, who named it after his wife Martha, and it was also in memory of the thick growth of wild vines (葡萄) on the land.The island of Martha’s Vineyard lies south of Cape Cod off the Southern eastern coast of Mas－sachusetts, United States. It is nearly 20 miles long and runs from 2 to 10 miles in width. There are wide, hard beaches on the southern side. The north is hilly, but in the south and eastern parts there are wide areas of open land covered with wild flowers.The island was discovered early in the 17th cen－tury. The Indians were quiet and friendly, and the new－comers fished for a living, making a lot of money from whaling (捕鲸). With the decline (衰落) of whaling and sailing ships, Martha’s Vineyard was almost for－gotten until about 60 years ago when people began to buy the old houses of the whaling captains and the sheds of the fishermen near the beaches. Now people go there year after year for their summer holidays.43. In this passage the writer doesn’t tell us ______.A. how the island got its nameB. the population of the islandC. the scenery of the islandD. the value of the island44. One of the reasons why Martha’s Vineyard was al－most forgotten is that ______.A. the hunting of whales became less productiveB. ship building industry developed rapidlyC. most of the Vineyard lay wasteD. a lot of fishermen left the island45. Wh ich of the following maps tells rightly where Martha’s Vineyard lies?(Mas=Massachusetts; C=Cape Cod; M=Martha’s Vineyard)DO. Henry was a pen name used by an American writer of short stories. His real name was William Sydney Porter. He was born in North Carolina in 1862. As a young boy he lived an exciting life. He did not go to school for very long, but he managed to teach himself everything he needed to know. When he was about 20 years old, O. Henry went to Texas, where he tried different jobs. He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank. When some money went missing from the bank, O. Henry was believed to have stolen it. Because of that, he was sent to prison. During the three years in prison, he learned to write short stories. After he got out of prison, he went to New York and continued writing. He wrote mostly about New York and the life of the poor there. People liked his stories, because simple as the tales were, they would finish with a sudden change at the end, to the reader’s sur prise.46. In which order did O. Henry do the following things?a. Lived in New Yorkb. Worked in a bankc. Traveled to Texasd. Was put in prisone. Had a newspaper jobf. Learned to write storiesA. e, c, f, b, d, aB. c, e, b, d, f, aC. e, b, d, c, a, fD. c, b, e, d, a, f47. People enjoyed reading O.

Henry get most materials for his short stories?A.His life inside the prison.B.The newspaper articles he wrote.C.The city and people of New York.D.His exciting early life as a boy.EBy now, a rocket will have set off on its 35-million-mile trip to Mars and scientists must be waiting for the results.The rocket will be travelling for six months before it reaches the planet. It contains a number of scientific instruments, including a television camera. Any picture that is taken will have to travel for three minutes before they reach the earth. If the pictures are successful, they may solve a number of problems about Mars and provide information about the markings on its surface which, nearly 100 years ago, the astronomer (天文学家), Schiaparelli, thought to be canals.It will be a long time before any landing on Mars can be tried. This will only be possible when scientists have learned a lot more about the atmosphere that surrounds the planet. If a satellite can one day be put into orbit round Mars, scientists will be able to find out a great deal. An interesting suggestion for measuring the atmosphere around Mars has been made. A rubber ball having a radio transmitter(无线电发报机) could be dropped from a satellite so that it would fall towards the surface of the planet. The radio would tell the rate(速度) at which the ball was slowed down and scientists would be able to calculate how dense the atmosphere is. It may even be possible to drop scientific instruments on to the planet's surface. Only when a great deal more information has been got, will it be possible to plan a manned (载人的) trip to Mars.51. The first paragraph tells us _______ .A. Mars is too far away for people to land onB. it will take the rocket half a year to reach MarsC. Mars is 53 million miles away from the earthD. scientists have well known about the surface of Mars52. The pictures taken by a television camera _______ .A. will have to be put into the scientific instrumentsB. will prove what Schiaparelli thought about is falseC. will be received by the earth in three minutes' timeD. can help people do much less research work53. It seems that _______ might prevent scientists from landing on Mars.A. the atmosphere round the planetB. the orbit round the planetC. having little informationD. the markings on the planet's surface54. Having successfully dropped the rubber ball, scientists would be able to calculate how dense the atmosphere is by _______.A. slowing the ball down at a speed which could be measuredB. dropping another ball with scientific instruments on to the surfaceC. putting down the ball towards the planet's surfaceD. measuring the speed at which the ball was falling55. It is not until _______ that people can think of a plan to make a trip to Mars.A. they have got enough scientific instrumentsB. they have a lot more informationC. dense enough atmosphere is found around the planetD. a reasonable suggestion has been made第四节书面表达（满分15分）根据要点，谈谈你对2008年在北京举办奥运会的想法，写一篇120词左右的短文。

AOffshore English is a term being used by many people for International English.It is the English spoken and written by non-native speakers in international munication.Many in business are starting to worry that native speakers are actually at a disadvantage in international munication.One case study that is quoted is of a contract to provide flight simulators to South Korea，where a French pany won the contract because the buyers found it easier to understand the English spoken by the French than the English spoken by the British pany.Many native English speakers feel little need to learn foreign languages，so they often lack understanding of the difficulties and problems learners face.They also don't see the need to modify their language for a foreign audience，so they use idioms，synonyms(同义词), phrasal verbs，etc..., without thinking of the impact this might have on a foreign business person.The English studied by non-native speakers tends to use a narrower core vocabulary.This means that non-native speakers from different countries and cultures may understand each other more easily than the native speakers do.Few native speakers outside the world of ESL teaching have much idea of what non-native learners are taught，and think that as their English is at native speaker level，they speak it better than their non-native counterparts.This unawareness is starting to cause problems that businesses are beginning to identify，and courses in offshore English are now being offered to native speakers in an attempt to train them to speak the kind of English that will make it easier for non-native speakers to understand，enabling them to win more contracts.1．Which of the following statements is true about offshore English?A．It can be spoken by non-native speakers.B．It is used to win more contracts.C．It is difficult to understand.D．It is full of idioms，synonyms，phrasal verbs，etc.答案：A细节判断题。

AWho wants to live in the coldest，windiest，driest place on Earth？Penguins，seals，whales，and some sea birds，of course.Fish，especially cod and ice-fish，also swim the surrounding seas.Hard to believe，but Antarctica is full of wildlife.These animals are specially adapted to Antarctica's severe environment.Plant life in the Antarctic region mostly consists of bryophytes (苔藓类植物)，lichens，algae and fungi (菌类)，with a rare species or two of flowering plants.Because there isn't enough plant life to sustain the plant-eating animals，they mostly eat each other.The Antarctic food chain is fairly simple.The Antarctic krill (a tiny shrimplike creature)is the keystone species of the ecosystem，which means that nearly everyone else eats it.Whales，penguins，seals，fish and many sea birds all eat krill，and krill eats even smaller phytoplankton (浮游生物)．Want more shocking details？Leopard seals feed on penguins and other seals.Who eats the leopard seals？Killer whales，if they're around.How do they survive the Antarctic cold？First，blubber(海兽脂)and feathers are extremely important.The longer answer is that warm-blooded animals (birds and mammals)in Antarctica maintain constant (恒定的)internal body temperatures，just like warmblooded animals do in other climate zones.If they let their internal temperatures drop below freezing，they'd bee penguin popsicles(冰棒)．Second，size matters.Technically speaking，a bigger bird has a smaller surface area to volume ratio，which means it has less relative area through which it loses heat.Most of the warm-blooded animals in Antarctica are oversized because big animals of the same shape stay warmer.Apart from the methods mentioned above，penguins have their own special social adaptation.They gather together with friends and family while constantly moving，so that the warm guys in the middle move to the outside and the colder folks take a turn in the center.1．What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A．The food chain in the Antarctic ecosystem.B．The distribution of the Antarctic vegetation.C．Many kinds of Antarctic animals.D．The diversity of the Antarctic plants and animals.答案：A段意理解题。

“For over a year now, a lot of warm water fish that we don’t usually see have been coming up，" said Rick Feeney, fish expert from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.The arrival of large numbers of big fish like wahoo and tuna has also promoted California's saltwater sport fishing industry, which brings in about $ 1。

“All the sport fish from Mexico are coming up here.In fact， there are probably more sport fish up here than there are down at the tip of Baja where they usually are。

Things like marlin, yellowtail, wahoo, yellow fin tuna， blue fin tuna, all sorts of things that fishermen love to catch，” said Feeney。

The schoolmates seemed to regard me as a fool，and they were probably right.Despite my fears，after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out.With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at，high school was turning out to be not so bad.It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging.Since then，I’ve been elected vice president of my class，which wasn’t much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions.It is normal to be scared about a new school.Take a deep breath and relax.High school is something that any student can overcome.Make sure you participate in some outof class activities because you’ll find it easier to make friends.Try to do your best，even if it isn’t straight A’s.Most important of all，be who you are，whether you’re a “fool”，an athlete，or a lower grader.Don’t try to pretend to be someone you’re not.Now you know the true secrets of high school.【解题导语】在上高中的第一天，“我”一直很紧张，当“我”回到家后，父母告诉“我”：“你第一天上高中感觉紧张是正常的。

课时作业(三十六)题型组合练——练速度(限时：30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解AA new study by the British government has discovered the mental health of the country's teenage girls has become worse.The survey, which included 30,000 14-year-old students in 2005 and 2014, showed 37 percent of girls with psychological stress, up from 34 percent in 2005. British boys' stress level was actually seen to fall over the same time period, from 17 percent to 15 percent.The report's authors pointed out the “advent of the social media age” could be a major contributing factor for increased stress among teenage British girls.“The adolescent years are a time of rapid physical，cognitive (认知的) and emotional development，”Pam Ramsden, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Bradford in the United Kingdom, wrote in a recent blog post.“Teenagers interact with people in order to learn how to become competent (有能力的)adults. In the past, they would engage with parents, teachers and other adults in their community as well as extended family members and friends. Now we can also add social media to that list of social and emotional development.”Throughout adolescence, girls and boys develop characteristics like confidence and self-control. Since teenage brains have not completely developed, teens don't have the cognitive awareness and impulse (冲动)control to keep from posting inappropriate content. Furthermore, this content can easily be spread far and wide with disastrous influences.Social media can also feed into girls'insecurities about their appearance, Ramsden said. These sites are often filled with images of people with body type unattainable to the normal person. However, these images and the messages tied to them gradually become societal standards.[语篇解读]一项新研究发现，英国少女的心理健康状况变得更糟；分析表明，社交媒体时代的到来可能是造成英国少女心理压力加大的主要因素。

单元加餐练Ⅰ.阅读理解Words of Chinese origin are playing a key role in driving the ongoing globalization of English, experts in both languages say.“The fact that some 300 million Chinese people are now studying or have studied English means the important impact of Chinese on the language can't be denied，” said Paul J．J. Payack, president and chief analyst at Global Language Monitor.The consultancy (咨询), based in Austin in the US state of Texas, documents (引证), analyzes and tracks trends in language usage worldwide, with a particular emphasis on English.It says some 10,000 words are added to the English language annually, with about 1.83 billion people using English as their native, second, business or technical language.But the global figure was only about 250 million in 1960, with English-speakers mainly located in Britain and its Commonwealth of former colonies, as well as the United States.“It's estimated that a new English word is created every 98 minutes.” Payack said.“One example of a word used in English that originated from Chinese that has appeared recently is chengguan (city patrol officer). A quick Google search results in nearly a million citations (引用), far in excess of (超过) our minimum number of required citations.”The Oxford English Dictionary, which waits 10 years before entering a word to ensure it has “staying power”，now has about 1,000 words of Chinese origin, such as taikonaut. In China, taikonaut refers to a person trained by a human spaceflight program to command, pilot, or serve as a spacecraft crew member.“It is estimated that Chinese, one of the prime drivers of the globalization of the English language, will continue its influence throughout the 21st century，” Payack said.语篇解读：本文主要讲了汉语对英语的影响。
