课下能力提升(十六).阅读理解Words of Chinese origin are playing a key role in driving the ongoing globalization of English, experts in both languages say.“The fact that some 300 million Chinese people are now studying or have studied English means the important impact of Chinese on the language cant be denied，” said Paul JJ. Payack, president and chief analyst at Global Language Monitor.The consultancy (咨询), based in Austin in the US state of Texas, documents (引证), analyzes and tracks trends in language usage worldwide, with a particular emphasis on English.It says some 10,000 words are added to the English language annually, with about 1.83 billion people using English as their native, second, business or technical language.But the global figure was only about 250 million in 1960, with Englishspeakers mainly located in Britain and its Commonwealth of former colonies, as well as the United States.“Its estimated that a new English word is created every 98 minutes.” Payack said.“One example of a word used in English that originated from Chinese that has appeared recently is chengguan (city patrol officer). A quick Google search results in nearly a million citations (引用), far in excess of (超过) our minimum number of required citations.”The Oxford English Dictionary, which waits 10 years before entering a word to ensure it has “staying power”， now has about 1,000 words of Chinese origin, such as taikonaut. In China, taikonaut refers to a person trained by a human spaceflight program to command, pilot, or serve as a spacecraft crew member.“It is estimated that Chinese, one of the prime drivers of the globalization of the English language, will continue its influence throughout the 21st century，” Payack said.1The underlined word “impact” in Para. 2 means “_”AinfluenceBinterruptionCignorance Dintelligence解析：选A词义猜测题。impact表示“影响”，此处指汉语对英语有影响。influence也表示“影响”。故选A。2According to the passage, we know _.Amore than 1,000 Chinese words pass into the English language every yearBabout 10,000 words pass into the English language every yearC1.83 billion people speak English as their native languageDEnglishspeakers are mainly located in Britain and America now解析：选B细节理解题。根据第四段的“It says some 10,000 words are added to the English language annually”可知。3The passage refers to chengguan and taikonaut in order to show _.Aonly the two words have entered the Oxford English DictionaryBthe development of ChinaCChinese has an influence on EnglishDEnglish will be replaced by Chinese解析：选C推理判断题。文章提到这两个词的目的是想说明现状已经有约1 000个汉语词汇进入英语，表明汉语对英语的影响。故选C。4According to Payack, which of the following is RIGHT?AChinese will control the globalization of the English language.BOne English word appears every minute.CAbout 300 million Chinese people are now studying English.DMore Chinese will enter English.解析：选D细节题解题。根据最后一段的内容可知，汉语将会继续影响英语，故选D。.阅读七选五Whether you are at Disneyland or another Disney park，you will usually find a nighttime show that will be showing. _1_ Read this article to find out how you can get a good seat for an evening event at any Disney park.Plan on seeing the show in advance.Usually, if you decide an hour beforehand that youre going to see a show, you will likely end up not getting a good seat, unless the park is not very busy. _2_Do your research.Research online：“The best places to view . ” _3_ Some of them may even be less known, so you may not deal with such a big crowd.Arrive to the event early._4_ Possibly even earlier if the park is more crowded on that day.
