　　When one of his brothers called, offering to help him find "a real i oh", he answered,"I don′t care. I know what I′m doing is good. "

　　It is widely accepted that English is the global language of modern times.

　　About three decades ago, French was recognized as the language of diplomacy (外交), and German was considered the language of science and technology. English now dominates(主导) not only as the language of science but also diplomacy, computing, and tourism. Today, in terms of native speakers, Mandarin Chinese is the world′s

　　largest language.

　　Yet there are people who believe that China will become the most powerful country in the world. Some have even fixed the date as early as the year 2020. At present, while English is more widely spoken than any other language,there are more people who speak Chinese than English due to the large population in China alone. If China does become a world power, there is no doubt that this language will spread worldwide.

　　As the controversy over which language will become dominant in the world continues, there are many who feel that the dominance of English is unique and irreversible (不可逆的 ). However, a separate study from David Graddol′s suggests that English′s dominance in the scientific area will continue. There is also an argument that the English language would be changed greatly by 2020 for various reasons. With the possibility of China rising as a world power,Mandarin could definitely challenge the dominance of English as a global language.

　　第43题单选 Which language is now considered as the language of diplomacy?

　　A.French.

　　B.Chinese.

　　C.German.

　　D.English.

　　答案：D

　　第44题单选 Which language has the largest population of native speakers?

　　第45题单选 The author says that Chinese is expected to spread worldwide if__________.

　　A.China becomes a real world power

　　B.China has a larger population

　　C.China has the modern technology

　　D.more tourists come to China

　　答案：A

　　第46题单选 What does controversy in the last paragraph probably mean?

　　A.Plan.

　　B.Argument.

　　C.Conditoin.

　　D.Goal.

　　答案：B

　　All but the tiniest of roads have to have names so they can be recognized on a map, and so people can ask directions to them. Americans name a lot of bridges, too.

　　Very often these names carry a clear geographical reference the Pennsylvania Turnpike, for example. Or,like the George Washington Bridge, roads and bridges are named for famous historical figures or powerful officers.

　　We make a big deal out of naming things, as when someone decided to name an airport after a U. S. judge. So now we have the Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

　　Many,if not most, of our college buildings are named for wealthy people who gave a lot of money to the schools. And our sports centers took this idea a step further. Companies paid a whole lot of money for what′s called the "naming rights" to U. S. Cellular Field in Chicago, for example, and Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.

　　Now the governor(州长) of Virginia, Bob McDonnell,wants to sell naming rights to roads and bridges in the state. He says not just companies, but also wealthy people, would help the Virginia transportation budget(预算) by paying to have their names--or perhaps those of loved ones--placed on roads and bridges, and thus on maps as well.

　　People hold different views, however. Supporters say Americans are used to having things sponsored(赞助).

　　Others disagree, considering the idea as the next step in the "companies of America. " They wonder how far such an idea might spread, and where it would end:at the Burger King Pacific Ocean, perhaps.

　　第47题单选 Most of the roads need to have names so that__________.

　　A.they can remind people of the past

　　B.people can learn about them better

　　C.they can be easily recognized on maps

　　D.people can enjoy naming them

　　答案：C

　　第48题单选 Who are many college buildings named for according to the passage?

　　A.Powerful officers.

　　B.Famous judges.

　　C.Historical figures.

　　D.Wealthy people.

　　答案：D

　　第49题单选 Why does the governor of Virginia want to sell naming rights?

　　A.To remember the loved names.

　　B.To make the state well-known.

　　C.To help the transportation budget.

　　D.To increase companies' sales.

　　答案：C

　　第50题单选 What can we learn from the last paragraph?

　　A.People have different ideas toward naming things.

　　B.Americans have sponsored naming a lot.

　　C.Everything is named by an American company.

　　D.Pacific Ocean will be renamed.

　　答案：A
