One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is declining(降低) globally while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance(主导) by the middle of this century to rank, after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. “The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isn’t rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken,” he says.In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil, and Malay, spoken in south and southeast Asia.David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, says about 1.5 billion of the world’s six billion people speak it as a second tongue compared to the 400 million native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. “Nobody quite knows what’s going to happen because no language has been in this position before. But all the evidence (证据) suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster,” he said.63. In David Graddol’ s opinion, English will _______.A. remain widespread and importantB. be more important than any other languageC. lose its dominant positionD. die away in the near future64. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ______.A. snowballs will roll down faster than language ballsB. the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the pastC. English language will soon drop in dominanceD. more and more language users will choose English65. How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.66. According to David Graddol, which of the following will possibly be one of the languages that will be most widely spoken?A. Malay.B. Arabic.C. Urdu.D. German.67. What should be the best title for the passage?A. English Remaining the Dominant PositionB. The Future of English?Who Knows?C. Opinions from Different ExpertsD. The English Language Snowball Rolling DownDThe following is a true story. It happened in the northern end of Queens land, Australia, where all kinds of animals live in the forest.Lisa, a 33-year-old woman, went to prepare lunch in the kitchen, leaving Barney, her three-year-old son, playing by himself in the back garden.Suddenly, a sharp cry of Barney came into the mother’s ears, and Lisa rushed into the backyard in a hurry and found a big snake entwining(缠绕) the little child with its terrible body and trying to eat the boy as its delicious dish! It was a boa(蟒)! Lisa was terrified and quite angry. She made up her mind to save her son from the snake’s mouth.It was fearless mother love that made Lisa forget what she faced.
