Online,English has become a common language for users from all over the world. In the process,the language itself is changing.

61      Some people say that within 10 years people will use English widely only on the Internet,but in forms it is very different from what we accept and know as English today. Why?

That’s because more people now speak English as a second language. And they use it to communicate with other

non-native speakers,especially on the Internet where they pay little attention to grammar and spelling.

“  62         ,’ says Bill Smith,a professor of language at American University in Washington D. C.

Internet users already create a number of different “ Englishes ” like Hinglish ( Indian English) , Spanglish (Spanish English) and Konlish ( Korean English) 63     

Some words are taken from traditional English. “Blur” ( = “not clear” or “slow” ) , for example,is often  used  in Singlish(Singaporean English) .  64      In Chinglish( Chinese English) , “l(fā)ong time no see” means    “have  not seen

you for a long time”. “In fact,most people speak different languages—It’s less common to speak only one,” says Mr  Smith.  65     

Instead,other languages are pushing them into English,and in the process,creating something new.

科目:初中英語 來源: 題型:

  Is the world too crowded? Well,that’s a hard question to answer. It’s all a matter of perspective (視角).In Montana,you might drive for a mile in any direction and not see another human being. In Macao,60,000 people live in every square mile!

What is true is that the world’s population doesn’t stay the same. It has been increasing at a very fast rate (比例). That’s because in each generation (代)there are more people who then have children than that in the last generation.

Five hundred years ago,the population of the world was about 460 million. In 1900,the world’s population was under 2 billion. Right now it is doubling every 40 years. That means,if this rate of growth continues,when you are a parent,there will be twice as many people on earth as there are now. Wow!Now that’s a lot of people!Soon the world’s population will probably reach 7 billion. Some people worry about that!But there is a lot of disagreement about just how many people on earth equals(相當(dāng)于)too many people. But everyone agrees that the more people there are,the more resources (資源)the world needs to feed,and take care of all of them,and the more need there is to think carefully about how we live and use the earth’s resources.
