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 anadequate 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.1.What would be the best title for this passage?A.The Difficulties of Learning EnglishB.International CommunicationsC.The Standard Varieties of EnglishD.English as a World Language2.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.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.3.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.C.It serves the needs of its native speakers.D.It is a world language that is used for international communication.4.What forms an adequate working knowledge of English?A.The ability to read a newspaper.B.It is difficult to judge because it differs for each situation.C.Being multilingual.D.Being a native speaker.B240 BC: Greek astronomer, geographer, mathematician and librarian Eratosthenes workedout the Earth's circumference (the distance around it). His data was rough, but he wasn't far off.Eratosthenes was an all-around man. Some people then called him Pentathalos, a champion of many skills. His rich knowledge made him a natural for the post of librarian of the library of Alexandria, Egypt, the greatest repository of classical knowledge.Eratosthenes knew that at noon on the day of the summer solstice, the sun was observed to be directly overhead at Syene (modern-day Aswan): You could see it from the bottom of a deep well, and a sundial (日晷) left no shadow. Yet, to the north at Alexandria, a sundial left a shadow even at the solstice midday, because the sun was not directly overhead there. Therefore, the Earth must be round — already firmly believed by the astronomers of his day.What's more, if one supposed the sun to be far away enough to be sending parallel (平行的) rays at Syene and Alexandria, it would be possible to figure out the Earth's circumference. Of course, his measurements were slightly off. And we don't know today the exact size of the measurement unit Eratosthenes was using when he came up with the final figure of 252,000 stades. So how big is 252,000 stades? It's somewhere between 24,663 and 27,967 miles. The accepted figure for circumference today is 24,902 miles. Pretty good for a guy without modern measurement tools.Eratosthenes went further and worked out the extension of the year as 3651/4days. He suggested that calendars should have a leap day every fourth year, an idea taken up two centuries later by Julius Caesar.It was known long before Columbus that the Earth was round and even how big it is. But it was just not widely known among the masses in 15th-century Europe. One reason is that Eratosthenes' own library of Alexandria had been destroyed, and there was no complete backup of its data.5.Why did some people call him Pentathalos?A.Because he was an astronomer and mathematician.B.Because he worked out the Earth's circumference.C.Because he was an expert in many skills.D.Because he had rich knowledge as a librarian.6.Where could the sun be seen from the bottom of a deep well at noon?A.At Syene.B.At Alexandria.C.To the north of Aswan.D.To the north of Alexandria.7.From the fourth paragraph we can learn ________.A.his measurements of the Earth's circumference were very exactB.stades are the measurement unit that Eratosthenes was usingC.his figure for the Earth's circumference was 24,902 milesD.he used some modern measurement tools to draw a conclusion8.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Eratosthenes was the most famous Greek astronomer in Egypt.B.Eratosthenes and Julius Caesar lived at the same age.C.Columbus knew the Earth was round long before Eratosthenes.D.It's a pity that Eratosthenes' conclusion was not widely known then.Ⅳ.任务型阅读Evaluating Sources (来源) of Health InformationMaking good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation.A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information.Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 1.________Go to the original source.Media reports often simplify the results of medical research.Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science.Think about the type of study. 2.________Watch for misleading language.Some studies will find that a behavior“contributes to” or is“associated with”an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result.3.________ Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.Use your common sense.If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is.Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 4.________ Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery (江湖骗术).5.________ Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.A.Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view.B.The goal of an ad is to sell you something.C.Be sure to work through the critical questions.D.And examine the findings of the original research.E.Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.F.Make choices that are right for you.G.The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.课下能力提升(十一)Ⅰ.1~5NFNPPⅡ.1.So closely did we follow her that she began to feel nervous. 2.Not until it was very late did he convince me. 3.Here is a message from the boss. 4.Now comes the chance to prove yourself. 5.Down the hill ran a group of children, shouting and laughing. 6.Rarely are the birds seen in our country.7.Only through his weak breath could we tell that he was still alive.8.He won the game, and so did I.9.Were he to ask for my hand in marriage, I would agree in no time.Ⅲ.语篇解读:本文主要讲了英语是世界语言。
