人教版英语必修第一册 Unit 5 一、阅读理解The number of speakers of English in Shakespeares times is estimated 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 purposes of 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 work in science, technology, and other fields is 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.Which is the best title for this passage?A.

In contrast,their equivalents(对应词) in Malay have two or three syllables, like sa-tu,du-a, ti-ga,em-pat, li-ma, e-nant. 3 Their English equivalents-one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, hundred, thousand, million - include multi-syllabic words, too. 4 Children easily find that it is in the Chinese language that they can do the job fastest.Children taught in Chinese find it easier to learn numerals and can do their calculations much faster.This has been repeatedly proved by reports on Chinese-medium-educated students winning prizes in International Mathematical Olympiads. Mathematics has a lot to do with IQ tests,as it is well proved that children good at numbers tend to have a stronger reasoning ability. 5 Teach the children Chinese so that they can think in the language. Keep their cutting edge in mathematics with the aid of Chinese characters, and this will improve their IQ. A. The secret lies in the Chinese characters.B. They are much quicker at learning languages.C. This was discovered by Dr Zeng, assistant professor of psychology at NUS.D. The difference between them is striking when it comes to memorising the multiplication table(乘法表).E. So,I would like to call on Chinese parents to treasure the language of our ancestors.F. It takes a longer time to pronounce these words.G. Therefore, Im going to teach mathematics if possible.答案： 15 CAFDE三、完形填空College sets the stage for that exploration.
