北航网络教育大学英语2习题1及答案

The story of our English language is typically one of massive stealing from other languages. That is why English today has an estimated vocabulary of over one million words, while other major languages have far fewer. French, for example, has only about 75000 words, and that includes English expressions like snack bar. The French, however, do not like borrowing foreign words because they think it corrupts their language. The government tries to ban words from English and declares that Walkman is not desirable; so they invent a French word instead.

This graph shows changes in the estimated number of English speakers from 1950 to 2050. English speakers are divided into three groups: first language speakers, second language speakers and English Foreign language speakers. According to the graph, it is estimated that the number of first language speakers was a little over 200 million in 1950, a figure that will increase to around 500 million by 2050. Second language speakers will triple during the same period, from less than 200 million to around 600 million. English foreign language speakers will more than double in number over the period, starting from about 400 million in 1950 and reaching to around 900 million in 2050.
