25、is estimated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 2600 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas
26、, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language, as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.It is virtually impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate working knowledge of English in add
27、ition to their own languages. The purposes for which English is learned and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to define and still more difficult to assess what constitutes an adequate working knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the wide
28、spread demand for English is its present - day importance as a world language. Besides serving the infinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of the most important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced and not always by native speakers. It
29、is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the dissemination of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former Briti
30、sh colonies. Many of these countries have multi - lingual populations and, need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for access to the scientific and technological developments in the

36、and should do, especially in a tight job market. Bob Crossley, a human resources expert notices this in the job applications that come cross his desk every day. “Its amazing how. many candidates eliminate themselves, “he says.“Resumes arrive with stains. Some candidates dont bother to spell the comp
37、anys name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate,“ Crossley concludes. “If they cannot take care of these details, why should we trust them with a job?“Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger
38、 they work toward. “To keep from losing the forest for the trees, “says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco,“ we must constantly ask ourselves how the details were working on fit into the larger picture. If they dont, we should drop them and move to s
39、omething else.“Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. “The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time,“ says Garfield, “but a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make
40、adjustments as necessary. “Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.Too often we believe what accounts for others success is some special secret or a lucky break. But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things with
41、in our grasp well, large rewards follow.（分数：6.00）(1).According to the passage ,some job applicants were rejected _.A. because of their inadequate attention paid to details, such as the stains and misspelt company nameB. because of their inadequate education as shown in their poor spelling in writing
42、 a resumeC. because they failed to give a detailed description of their background in their applicationsD. because they eliminated their names from the applicants list themselves（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(2).The word “perfectionists“ (Para. 3 )refers to those who _.A. demand others to get everything absolute
43、ly rightB. know how to adjust their goals according to the circumstancesC. pay too much attention to details only to lose their major objectivesD. are capable of achieving perfect results in whatever they do（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(3).Which of the following is the authors advice to the reader?A. Although t
44、oo much attention to details may be costly, they should not be overlooked.B. Dont forget details when drawing pictures.C. Be aware of the importance of a task before undertaking it.D. Careless applicants are not to be trusted.（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(4).The example of rite Apollo II moon launch is given to
45、 illustrate that _.A. minor mistakes can be ignored in achieving major objectivesB. failure is the mother of successC. adjustments are the key to the successful completion of any workD. keeping ones goal in mind helps in deciding which details can be overlooked（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(5).The best title for
46、 this passage would be _.A. dont Be a PerfectionistB. importance of AdjustmentsC. details and Major ObjectivesD. hard Work Plus Good Luck（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：6.00)It is, everyone agrees, a huge task that the child performs when he learns to speak, and the fact that he does so in so sho
47、rt a period of time challenges explanation.Language learning begins with listening. Individual chirden very greatly in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey“ spoken instructions some time before they can speak
48、, though the word obey is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to trace the development from. the noises babies make to their
49、 first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress, sociability, and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sou
