18、global language may lead to 15 and the death of other languages （分数：30.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：media）解析： media 听力原文 English as a Global LanguageGood morning everyone. Today we are going to examine English as a global language. English has played the role as a global language for quite some time. Some theor

19、ists mention some characteristics of English as a global language i.e. the use of English has spread across the world and it has become the most preferable foreign language teaching. English has also been used widely in economic, political, and scientific fields as well as the main tool of communica

20、tion in media such as ratio, television, newspaper, and even internet. This is not good news to all. For example, some argue that the global dominance of the English language is bad news for world literature. Why? Because if the English language dominates world publishing, very few translations will

21、 be commercially viable, except those from English to other languages. As a result, virtually only those writing in English will have a chance of reaching a world audience and achieving “classic status“. The outcome is clear: just as in the sciences, those who wish to reach a world audience will wri

22、te in English. World literature will be an English literature and will be the poorer for itas if all music were written only for the cello. Having said that, we must understand that the spread of globalization all over the world is unstoppable nowadays. Although the definition of globalization itsel

23、f really depends on what perspectives someone may look at, its impact has infiltrated in some aspects of our life. Similarly, the spread of English as a global language has been an interesting issue on whether it will bring bad or good impact to the society. Like god has created everything in this w

24、orld in pairs, for instance, men and women, night and day, badness and goodness, life and death, and so on. The impacts of English as a global language also come up with such nature, the positive and negative. In the next few minutes I am going to give a snapshot of both sides. First of all, the pos

25、itive impacts of English as a global language. The existence of English as a global language has contributed positive impacts on some areas. In trade or business area, English is a medium of communication among businessmen throughout the world. Indonesian exporters, for example, who want to export t

26、heir local products to another country, must negotiate with prospective importers by using common language, in this case, English. In academic communities, the use of English in lecture-rooms or lecture-conferences has commonly happened in international leveled-universities. A lecturer in Indonesia

27、can deliver his/her lecture to students in Thailand by using English-teleconference. It might happen because of a global language and global technology. In addition, in English Language Teaching (ELT), as a global language, English gives great opportunities to many English-speaking countries to prom

28、ote ELT all over the world. As some experts point out, the spread of English use in most parts of the world contributes more benefits for English speaking countries. British council, Indonesia Australia Language Foundation (IALF) are examples of institutions that carry out programs on English langua

29、ge teaching in Indonesia. These language institutions are considerably gaining profit by providing language training for Indonesians. They can make a lot of money from Language teaching materials, such as TOEFL/IELTS preparation and any other English course. Now, let“s turn to the negative impacts o

30、f English as a global language. The question whether the spread of English leads globalization or the globalization has led English appears to be on-going debate. Obviously, the impact of English spread is undeniable. The negative impact is particularly for those who cannot use English as the tool o

31、f their communication. It is noted that a global language can cause “linguistic and communicative inequality“. We can see a good example of this inequality in the classroom. When we are teaching speaking skill to our students, we often find students who cannot speak English fluently tend to be quiet

32、 when we have them in discussion or other speaking activities. On the contrary, students who can speak English fluently tend to dominate the discussion. In a broader sense, for example, in international conference, the English speaker delegation often take advantages of being able to speak English t

33、o impose their opinion on other delegation. For some level, a crucial decision for international purpose sometimes was made based on this dominant opinion. If so, the impact of a global English is not only in linguistic and communicative inequality but also social inequality because a decision made

34、in international conference is for the whole society“s purpose in the world. But practically, it is made by some people who own a dominant language. Furthermore, one linguistics expert notes that the impact of English as a global language encompasses “linguistic power, linguistic complacency, and li

35、nguistic death“. Linguistic power refers to those who have English as their first language will hold more power than those who speak English as their second or foreign language. He further gives an example that being English native speaker is a ticket to have a good career in English language compan

36、ies. Next, linguistic complacency refers to less intention of English speakers to learn another language as well as its culture because they think that English as a global language has been spoken by all people in the world. So, there is no use to learn other languages. Finally, linguistic death ref

37、ers to the existence of a global language that may lead to the death of other languages. The massive spread of English in every aspect of our life cannot be caught up by other languages such as French, Arabic, and Spanish. Experts also point out the dominance of English that causes monolingualism ma

38、y ignore the use of other languages. OK. I have outlined the positive and negative impacts of English as the global language. But like it or not, English is quite dominant in the world. The best attitude towards it could be summarized in two words: “necessary evil“. With that, we conclude our discus

39、sion for today. 解析 录音提到，英语的使用已经遍布全世界了，它已经被广泛地使用在经济、政治、科学领域，并已成为媒体的主要交流工具。因此本题填入 media。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：(world)literature）解析： (world)literature解析 英语已经是全球性语言，这是不争的事实，但这对于世界文学来说是一个坏消息。听此处录音关键在于抓取重要提示词 for example。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：world audience）解析： world audience解析 本题考查作家用英语写作的目的。讲座中提到，如果作家想让世界各地的读者都看到自己作品

40、的话就要用英语来写作。因此这里填 world audience。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：trade or business）解析： trade or business解析 本讲座主要阐述了英语作为全球性语言的好处与坏处，其中提到在贸易与商业领域，英语是全世界商务人士沟通的媒介。因此本题答案为 trade or business。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：academic communities）解析： academic communities解析 在学术界，英语已经普遍地使用在有国际水准的大学的教学课堂或教学会议上。因此本题填入 academic communities。 填空项 1

41、:_ （正确答案：benefit）解析： benefit解析 讲座中提到，英语的普及给讲英语的国家带来了好处。这里需要填一个动词，故将 contributes more benefits 改写为动词 benefit。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：communicatio）解析： communication解析 英语作为全球性的语言，也可能带来许多负面影响，如“语言与沟通的不平等”。这里需要填一个名词因此要把原文的 communicative 转化为 communication。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：quiet）解析： quiet解析 英语造成“语言与沟通的不平等”的一个佐证便是“当在课

42、堂上教授英语口语技巧时，我们会发现，在讨论或其他口语活动中，那些英语说得不流利的学生通常比较安静。”因此本题的答案为 quiet。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：dominate the discussio）解析： dominate the discussion解析 录音提到，在教授英语口语技巧时，那些英语说得不流利的学生通常比较安静，相反那些英语说得流利的学生通常在讨论中占主导地位。因此本题填入 dominate the discussion。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：decision-makers）解析： decision-makers解析 本题要求考生概括原文信息。英语作为全球性语言会

43、引起社会不平等。国际会议中所做的决定本应基于全世界共同的目标，但会议上的决定都是由会说英语的人作出的，即“会说英语的人是决策者(decision-makers)”。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：powerful）解析： powerful解析 根据讲座，语言权力是指那些以英语为母语的人比以英语为第二语言或外语的人拥有更多的权力。这里需将 hold more power 转为形容词形式 powerful。听录音时要善于抓住关键词refers to。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：good career）解析： good career解析 录音接着举出第二个例子，母语是英语的人更容易在说英语的公司里找

44、到好工作。因此本题填入 good career。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：complacency）解析： complacency解析 本题考查讲座第三个要点的第四个分述点，即语言上的自满。根据提纲填入complacency。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：motivated）解析： motivated解析 语言上的自满是指以英语为母语的人更不愿意去学习其他语言，了解其他文化，因为他们认为英语作为全球性语言已经被全世界所通用。本题不能按原文直接填入 less intention，故改写为 less motivated。 填空项 1:_ （正确答案：monolingualism）解析： mono

45、lingualism解析 语言灭亡是指全球性语言导致单语主义以及其他语言的灭亡。因此本题答案为 monolingualism。 Global Language. WHAT?
