Wheneverwe turn on the news to find out what’s happening in East Asia, orAfrica, or anywhere, people are being interviewed(采访)andtelling us about it in English.If people look at the facts about the amazing reach of the English language, many would be surprised. English is used in over 90 countries as an official or semi-official language. English is the working language of many international institutes(研究所)as well as of most international research scientists. It is also the language that Indian parents and black parents wish their children to learn. It is believed that over one billion people worldwide are now learning English.One of the most important causes of the spread of English around the world is that Europeans are willing to accept it as their language. English is spreading from northern Europe to the south and is now the second language in countries such as Sweden, Norway, Netherlands and Denmark. If one visits any of them, it would seem that almost everyone there can talk in English.Recently, a report said that at the beginning of 2001, English was the most widely known foreign language with 43% of Europeans saying they spoke it. The report also said that with over 89% of the population speaking English, Sweden now has the highest percentage of English speakers. What’s more, English is the language rated as most useful to know and over 77% of Europeans who do not speak English as their first language consider it useful.1. By writing this passage, the writer mainly wants to tell us ______ .A. why so many people speak English around the worldB. that English has become a language spoken all over the worldC. about the development of English in EuropeD. something about the English-speaking countries2. The writer mentions all of the following EXCEPT ______ .A. AsiaB. EuropeC. AfricaD. America 3. According to the passage, what has played an important role in spreading English around the world?A. That governments have asked their people to learn it in school.B. That English is the most beautiful language in the world.C. That Europeans are willing to accept English as their language.D. That people have to use English in their work.4. What does the underlined word “rated” in the last paragraph mean?A. Stood.B. Agreed.C. Considered.D. Argued.BIn most languages, a greeting is usual ly followed by“small talk”. Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather: “Nice day, isn’t it? ”“Terrible weather, isn’t it? ”But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion(宗教)or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk in English. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching: “A great game, isn’t it? ”At bus stops, people may talk about the transport system(体系): “The bus service is terrible, isn’t it? ”Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversation in any language. The way people greet each other and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.5. Which of the following is a good topic for small talk?A. Politics.B. Income.C. Weather.D. Religion.6. The passage suggests that when we learn a language, ______ .A. we should understand the importance of the languageB. it’s necessary to learn about the culture of the countryC. we should learn about the transport system of the countryD. it’s enough to grasp the grammar and vocabulary of the lang uage7. When we say “A great game, isn’t it? ” we in fact ______ .A. ask a questionB. discuss the gameC. greet the other personD. begin small talkCPersonal computers and the Internet give people new choices abouthow to spend their time.Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends orfamily members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touchwith those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spendmost weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were, but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born bef ore electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun like seeing a great movie, and perhaps there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.With e-mail, you just write one note about your experience at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use e-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.8.
