The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated(估计) 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 purpose for 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 works in science, technology, and other fields are 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.

51. What would be the best title for this passage?

A. The Difficulties of Learning English             B. International Communications

C. The Standard Varieties of English                D. English as a World Language

B. There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.

C. It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of English.

D. People learn English for a variety of reasons.

53. According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?

A. It was popular during Shakespeare’s time.    B. It is used in former British colonies.

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. 

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. 

Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature. 

Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. 

46. Which of the following statements is NOT true? 

A. People who like country things prefer to live outside the city. 

B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country. 

C. Because of certain disadvantages of living outside London, some people who work in London prefer to live inside London. 

D. Because of certain advantages of living outside London, many people who work in London prefer to live outside London. 

47. One can use the same money for ________ to buy a little house with a garden in the country.

A. getting a small flat with a garden                  B. having a small flat with a garden

C. renting a small flat without a garden D. buying a small flat without a garden

48. When the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up, those _______ have the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature. 

A. who live in the country

B. who have spent time working in the garden

C. who have a garden of their own

D. who have been digging, planting and watering

49. People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that _______ if they had to live it outside London. 

A. their life was meaningless                          B. their life was invaluable

C. they didn’t deserve a happy life                    D. they were not worthy of their happy life

50. The underlined word rest in the last paragraph refers to ________.

A. the rest time                                              B. the rest people

C. the rest of the country                                D. the rest of the parks and of the sea

The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent his camera crew(摄影组) out one evening to film the sunset for him.

The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”

“No, sir,” the men answered.

The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked.

“Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “we’re on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”

“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”

But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like a sunset.”

“That’s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”

The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.

They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.”

Learning English may be difficult for beginners. There are two    31   (base) stages to learn English. The first stage of learning this language would be very    32   (interest). Once you have a good command of the alphabets(字母),    33   (gradual) you can learn many words. It would always be better to follow the method of reading first, then writing. When you feel    34    you have understood the words, you can make sentences. This is the most amusing stage to learn. You just think of a sentence in your mother language, and try to set down the same sentence in English. There could be some mistakes,    35    you should not worry about it. You’d better write the same sentence by    36   (make) use of many different words till you are satisfied    37   your sentence. If you follow this way, very soon you can create sentences of your own.

   38    second step is learning the grammar. Compared with    39    languages, English is quite simple and very systematic(系统化的). There are certain rules and regulations for each and every topic in grammar of this language. As long as you follow the rules and regulations,       40    would be a difficult task to make mistakes.

A school teacher decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few    16   . Each tomato will be given a name of a person that the child    17   , so the number of tomatoes that a child will put in the plastic bag will depend on the number of people the child hates.

So when the day came, every    18    brought some tomatoes. Some had two; some three while some up to five tomatoes. The teacher then told the children to    19    with them the tomatoes in the plastic    20    wherever they go.

Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the    21    smell let out by the rotten tomatoes. Besides, those having more tomatoes had to carry    22    bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended.

The teacher asked: “How did you    23    while carrying the tomatoes with you for 1     24   ?”

The children let out their frustrations and started    25    of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and    26   tomatoes wherever they go.

Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the    27   .

“This is exactly the    28    when you carry your hatred(憎恨) for somebody inside your heart. The unpleasant smell of hatred will pollute your    29    and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten tomatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the smell of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?”

So    30    others is that best attitude to take!

16. A. potatoes               B. peaches                  C. apples                 D. tomatoes

17. A. likes                    B. wants                     C. knows                D. hates
