課下能力提升(十六).閱讀理解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 (咨詢), based in Austin in the US state of Texas, documents (引證), 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 (超過) 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：選A詞義猜測題。impact表示“影響”，此處指漢語對英語有影響。influence也表示“影響”。故選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：選B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)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：選C推理判斷題。文章提到這兩個詞的目的是想說明現(xiàn)狀已經(jīng)有約1 000個漢語詞匯進入英語，表明漢語對英語的影響。故選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：選D細節(jié)題解題。根據(jù)最后一段的內容可知，漢語將會繼續(xù)影響英語，故選D。.閱讀七選五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.
