English, the Global Language English is spoken as a native language by around 377 million people, and as a second language by around 375 million speakers in the world. Speakers of English as a second language will soon outnumber those who speak it as a first language.
Around 750 million people are believed to speak English as a foreign language.English has an official or a special status in 75 countries with a total population of over 2 billion.
The domination of the English language globally is a sure thing. English is the language of international communications, business, tourism, education, science, computer technology, media and the Internet. Surprisingly, 70% of all information stored in the Internet is in English.

They took the English language to many places. For the last hundred years, the U.S.A. has played a leading role in most parts of the world.The Hollywood film industry also attracted many foreign artists in quest of fame and fortune and the number of American films produced every year soon flooded the market.

答案与解析
1.【答案】C
【解析】 细节题。定位第一段第一句："English is spoken as a native language by around 377 million people..."
【出题思路】数字细节定位题。利用题干中的 "first (native) language" 定位，考察学生能否在海量数字中精准抓取对应信息。注意区分前文的 375 million（第二语言人数）。
2.【答案】B
【解析】 细节题。定位第二段第二句："Surprisingly, 70% of all information stored in the Internet is in English."
【出题思路】细节题。直接考查对原文数据的捕捉，注意干扰项 C（75）对应的是前文的 75 countries（国家数）。
3.【答案】B
【解析】 因果/归纳题。定位第三段第一句："British colonialism in the 19th century and American capitalism and technological progress in the 20th century were undoubtedly the main causes for the spread of English throughout the world." 选项B是原文的精准缩写。
【出题思路】原因归纳题。考察学生提取长难句核心主干的能力，不要被长句吓倒，直接找 "main causes"。
4.【答案】A

总结
重点复习：高频语法与词汇点
1. 核心动词与名词
native language (n.) 母语
outnumber (v.) 在数量上超过 —— Speakers of English as a second language will soon outnumber those who speak it as a first language. (将英语作为第二语言的人数很快将超过将其作为母语的人数。)
domination (n.) 主导，统治 —— The domination of the English language globally is a sure thing. (英语在全球的主导地位是确定无疑的。)
colonialism (n.) 殖民主义 —— 衍生词：
colonist(殖民者),imperialist(帝国主义者)spread (v./n.) 传播，蔓延 —— the spread of English throughout the world (英语在全世界的传播)
demographic (adj.) 人口统计学的 —— demographic trends (人口趋势)
trend (n.) 趋势，动向
2. 高频短语搭配（极易在完形填空和翻译中考查）
have a special status：具有特殊地位
play a leading role：发挥主导作用
in quest of：寻找，追求（等于 in search of）—— in quest of fame and fortune (追求名利)
fame and fortune：名望与财富
flood the market：充斥市场（flood 本意是洪水，这里作动词用，非常生动）
🔥 核心语法点：
1. 被动语态（说明文最爱，本文出现3次以上）
English is spoken as a native language by around 377 million people... (一般现在时的被动语态)
Around 750 million people are believed to speak English... (固定句型：
sb. is believed to do sth.据信某人做某事)70% of all information... is stored in English. (注意主语是 information，不可数名词，谓语用单数 is)
2. 比较级与数量表达
Speakers of English as a second language will soon outnumber those... （
outnumber本身含有比较意味，意为“比……多”）。over 2 billion (超过20亿)，考试中常把
over替换成more than来考。
3. 主谓一致
English has an official or a special status in 75 countries... （主语是 English，单数，用 has）。
