One expert points out that the percentage(比率 ) of native Englishspeakers is declining( 降低 ) globall

15、y while the languages of other rapidlygrowing regions arebeing spoken by increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespreadand important.However,Britishlanguage scholar DavidGraddol says Englishwillprobablydrop indominance( 主导 ) by the middle of this century to rank, after

16、Chinese, about equally with Arabic,Hindi, and Urdu.“ The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, butit isn risingt nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simplybecause the main populationgroup has been largelyin the less developed cou

17、ntries wherelanguages other than English have been spoken,” he says.In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are notnear the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali,Tamil, and Malay, spoken in south and South

18、east Asia.David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, saysabout 1.5 billion of the worldmillionnativespeakers. But s six billion people speak it as a second tongue compared to the 400 another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddolunderestimates (低估 ) the

19、 future of its dominance.“ Nobody quite knows what s going to happenbecause no language has been in this position before. But all the evidence ( 证据 ) suggests that theEnglish language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster,he said.”36. In David Graddol s opinion, English will.A. remai

23、l Rolling DownBLanguage learning begins with listening. Children are greatly differentin the amount oflistening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners .Mostchildrenwill“ obey ”spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word“ obey ” is har

24、dly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown bythe child .Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spokenwords leads t

25、o considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain,friendliness, and so on. But since these can t be said to show the babythey can hardly be regarded as early form

26、s of language. Itis agreed, too, that from about three s intention to commumonths they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation （模仿） leads on to deliberate（有意的） imitation of soundsmade or words spoken to them by other p

27、eople. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means

28、 by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of“ mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful andmeaningless imi

29、tation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.41.

A baby s first noises are _.A. an expression of his moods and feelingsB. an early form of languageC. a sign that he means to tell you somethingD. an imitation of the speech of adu

32、lts44. The problem of decid ing at what point a baby s imitations can be considered asspeech_.A. is important because words have different meanings for different peopleB .is not especially important because the changeover takes place graduallyC. is one that should be properly understood because the

33、meaning of words changes with ageD. is one that should be completely ignored （忽略） because childrenmeaningless45. The speaker implies_.A. parents can never hope to teach their children new soundsB. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speakC. children who are good at imitating learn
