Over a billion people speak it as either their first or second language；more still as a third or fourth language.It is not surprising that there is a sudden increase in “English-medium” education all over the world. In some regions such as East Asia and Latin America the growth is principally among the rich. In others Africa and South Asia, where former colonies never quite escaped the languages control it is happening at all income levels.Parents desire for their children to master English is encouraging the growth of private schooling. Education authorities are switching to English medium, in part to prevent the outflow of children into the private area.Teaching children in English is fine if that is what they speak at home and their parents are fluent in it. But that is not the case in most public and low-cost private schools. Children are taught in a language they dont understand by teachers whose English is poor. The children learn neither English nor anything else.Research confirms that children learn more when they are taught in their mother tongue than they do when they are taught in any other language. In a study of children in the first three years in 12 schools in Cameroon, those taught in Kom did better than those taught in English in all subjects.English should be an important subject at school, but not necessarily the language of instruction. Rather than switching to English-medium teaching, governments fearful of losing custom to the private sector (企业)should look at the many possible ways of improving public schools.28.What do the underlined words “the growth” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The “network effects” of English.B. The money spent on children education.C. The attention which is paid to the private schooling.D. The sudden increase in English medium education.29. Why do education authorities turn to English medium?A. To give it a support.B. To improve childrens English level.C. To encourage the development of private schools.D. To discourage students from going to private schools.30. Why does the author talk about the study in Paragraph 5?A. To support his opinion.B. To provide a special case.C. To introduce a new topic.D. To add some background information.31. The author thinks teaching children all in English .A.is too costlyB. is the first choiceC.is not always goodD. should be forbiddenDNowhere on Earth is safe from the effects of climate change, but Greenland gets it particularly bad. Warmer temperatures inappropriately influence the Arctic, and ice-filled Greenland is especially affected. New research finds that warming has caused Greenland to lose ice more quickly today than at any point over the last 350 years.Previous studies have measured just how much the islands ice is melting, and even spotted melting in the typically robust (坚固的）northern sea ice. All the science agrees：Greenland is warming and its ice is disappearing. But this new study puts that warming and melting into context by looking at the islands history.The researchers drilled deep holes into Greenlands ice and used those to extract (提取) samples (样本）of ice from hundreds of feet below the surface. With those samples, the researchers were able to create a timeline of Greenlands ice cover going back 350 years. With that timeline, the researchers calculated how much ice melted in Greenland every year.Typically，ice on Greenland meltsduring the summer months and then accumulates in the winter. Ideally, both of those amounts would be equal, so Greenland doesnt gain or lose very much ice in a typical year. But lately, ice has been melting faster in the summer than it has in the past, and warmer winter temperatures mean the island is slower to build new ice.The end result, according to the study, is that over the past two decades Greenland has been losing ice more quickly than it has in centuries. More than just that, the rate at which the island is losing ice has been speeding. This suggests that over the next few decades, Greenland will lose ice even faster than it is right now. If thats true, the Arctic and the entire planet are in serious trouble.32. The researchers used the obtained samples to .A. respond to the previous studyB. see what Greenland looked likeC. compare the ice in different periodsD. find out the information on ice melting33. What can be learned from Paragraph 4?A. Ice on Greenland also melts in winter now.B. The weather in Greenland begins to change.C. Greenland can rarely keep a balance of ice in a year now.D. Ice on Greenland hardly melted in summer in the past.34. How does the author feel about the end result of the study?A. Surprised. B. Worried. C. Indifferent. D. Content.35. What can be the best title for the text?A. DisappearingGreenlandB. Changing GreenlandC. Hotter and HotterWeatherD.
