In some, the use of languages other than the national language is bannedin public spaces such as advertising posters. One of the first such legal provisions was the 1994 “Toubon law” i n France, and the idea has been copied in many countries since then. Such efforts to govern language use are often considered as futile by language experts, who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process.It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the “purity” of a language by law. Since the time of Shakespeare, English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language. English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world, but that has not been a barrier to acquiring superiority and power. Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of the state regulation is that it has never been the Anglo­Saxon way of doing things. Englishhas never had a state­controlled authority for the language, similar, for example, to the Academic Francaise in France.The need to protect national languages is, for most western Europeans, a recent phenomenon—especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields. Public communication, education and new ways of communication promoted by technology, may be key fields to defend.20．Neville Alexander believes that ________.A．mother­tongue education is not practiced in all African countriesB．globalization has resulted in the economic failure of AfricaC．globalization has led to the rise of multi­language trendD．lack of mother­tongue education can lead to economic failure21．The underlined word “futile” (in Paragraph 2) most probably means“________”.A．workable B．practicalC．useless D．unnecessary22．Why do many English­speaking countries not support the language protection efforts described in the passage?A．They have a long history of taking words from other languages.B．They want their language to spread to other countries.C．They think language protection laws are ineffective.D．It reduces a language's ability to acquire international importance.23．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．English has taken over fields like public communication and education.B．Many aspects of national culture are threatened by the spread of English.C．Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language.D．Europeans have long realized the need to protect a national language.24．The best title for the passage is “________”.A．Fighting against the rule of EnglishB．Protecting local languages and identitiesC．Globalization and multi­language trendD．To maintain the purity of language by law课时作业(十四)Ⅰ.1.D 考查冠词。

Clayton kept talking about himself all through the entire conversation: he had solved problems no one else could; only his views were right; other researchers' work was inaccurate or unimportant. I could not put in a word. Extremely annoyed, I planned to avoid Clayton in that future. In fact, I dec ided never to have another conversation with him.A few days later I was in an education class. Our professor explained how one child could become the target of the other students' ridicule(讥笑)．“Usually it's because the class sees their own weaknesses glaringly magnified(放大) in th at student. They don't want to admit they have the same weakness,so they ridicule and exclude the student. The behavior of both the class and the excluded student is caused by personal insecurity.”As I took notes, suddenly I thought of Clayton. It struck me that I have many of the same faults. How easily I rule a conversation and leave others out. I, too, sometimes feel that only my opinion is right. My concerns or work easily seems most important. As my professor had described, I reacted negatively to someone in whom I experienced my own weakness.I changed my mind. Instead of avoiding Clayton, I'll try to listen patiently with the same kindness and acceptance that I need.20．The writer was extremely annoyed with Clayton partly because ________．A．he said not all his views were rightB．he wouldn't let her put in a wordC．he kept silent all through the dinnerD．he was too particular about the food21．Who said the words in Paragraph 3?A．Clayton.B．The writer's husband.C．The writer.D．The writer's professor.22．The fourth paragraph was written to show ________．A．why the writer changed her mindB．how the writer was annoyedC．when the writer had her educationD．what weakness the writer had23．We can infer from the last paragraph that ________．A．the writer will see other people more positivelyB．Clayton will not rule a conversation any longerC．the writer will try to avoid talking with ClaytonD．Clayton will find out he has his own weaknessⅢ.短文填词On the one hand, the robots sent to the planets have not yet found any 24.________ (迹象) of life on Mars, but they have found evidence that water 25.________ freely over the planet's surface millions of years ago. 26.________ addition, water in the form of ice exists below some 27.p________ of the Martian surface today.On the other hand, 28.d________ life on Mars would change the present view of the Universe and also give a big push toward man's work there.
