From Oatie on 2014-02-13 04:05:25 Dominant(主流的)languages change quite often. As the countries and areas that speak a language grow and decrease in power, the language becomes either more or less widespread —remember that Latin and French were the most widely used languages in Europe as late as the 19th century. I think English is currently powerful because of America’s central position in global affairs. Hopefully, in the future, Esperanto(世界语)will be the accepted second international language!!! From TTanya on 2014-02-26 20:10:28 I also have been wondering about the future of English as the world's Lingua Franca(通用语).I was thinking that maybe Chinese would overpower English as the dominant world business language. But it appears that the Chinese government is actively promoting English to their public school students. So maybe, if China becomes the next world power, English will remain the current Lingua Franca under Chinese influence. From Mymunkee on 2014 -03 -06 00:38:03 Esperanto is the only language of which there are no ethnic (种族的)ties, and it's a million times easier to learn than English. The idea of making everyone learn “your language” is socially dominating and can only result in dysfunctional(紊乱的)international relations. From Recata on 2014 -03 -20 21:49:44 Perhaps the evolution English will face is to become more common, not more diverse. I say this because of broadcast media. For example, in Arabic countries, the dialects have been so distinct that people from various countries can not understand each other. However, with the increasing role of Broadcast Arabic, the language is becoming more unified(统一的). The continued expansion of English as an international business language will probably strengthen its commonality and weakening various dialects. An example is the word for “get in line”. I had never heard the British word “queue” several years ago, but now it is becoming commonplace in America. 56. Who thinks Chinese may replace English as the dominant world business language in the
future? A. Oatie. B. Ttanya. C. Mymunkee. D. Recata.
57. Recata believes that in the future English will become______. A. more unified B. more diverse C. more popular in Arabic countries D. commonplace in America
58. The underlined word “distinct” in the last paragraph probably means“______”. A. similar B. different C. clear D. popular
59. This passage is most probably taken from______. A. a TV talk show B. an interview made in a school C. a website page D. a newspaper on languages
