It is a village of simple mud and grass houses built on the beach just above the water-line. The Khadra Hills rise immediately behind the village,

18、 to a height of one hundred and fifty meters. A simple, good-hearted old man, whose name was Jalpur, farmed two small fields on the very edge of these hills, overlooking Shundagarh. From his fields he could see the fishing-boats that travelled up and down the coast. He could see the children playing

19、 on the sand; their mothers washing clothes on the flat stones where the Shiva River flowed into the sea; and their fathers landing the latest catch or repairing nets and telling stories that had no end.All Jalpur owned in the world were the clothes he wore day in and day out, the miserable hut that

20、 he slept in at night, a few tools and cooking potsand his fields. The corn that he grew was all that made life possible. If the weather was kind and the harvest was good, Jalpur could live happily enoughnot well, but happily. When the sun was fierce, and there was little or no rain, then he came cl

21、ose to the line between a life which was too hard, and death itself.Last year the weather had been so kind, and the harvest promised to be so good, that Jalpur had been wondering whether he could sell all that he had and live with his son farther up the coast. He had been thinking about doing this f

22、or some years. It was his dearest wish to spend his last days with his son and his wife and children. But he would go only if he could give; he would not go if it meant taking food out of the mouths of his grandchildren. He would rather die hungry than do this.On the day on which Jalpur decided that

23、 he would harvest his corn, sell it, and move up the coast, he looked out to the sea and saw a huge wave, several kilometres out, advancing on the coast and on the village of Shundagarh. Within ten minutes everyone in Shundagarh would be drowned. Jalpur would have shouted, but the people were too fa

24、r away to hear. He would have run down the hill, but he was too old to run. He was prepared to do anything to save the people of Shundagarh, so he did the only thing that he could do: he set fire to his corn. In a matter of seconds the flames were rising high and smoke was rising higher. Within a mi

25、nute the people of Shundagarh were racing up the hill to see what had happened. There, in the middle of his blackened cornfield, they found Jalpur; and there they buried him.On his grave, they wrote the words: Here lies Jalpur, a man who gave, living; a man who died, giving.26 Shundagarh is a villag

Perhaps even the BBC as a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidly becoming a truly

35、global language. There are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language, and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue. There are said to be one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in Engl

36、ish.Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures (文化)? Or should we worry about the dangers of “mono-culturalism“, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food

37、 and listen to the same music?Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? On the contrary (相反), I would have thoughtalthough I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India (where ma

38、ny of them speak at least some English) and Pakistan (the same situation with India)If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonalds hamburgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant(占主导地位的) ,will it kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am alway

39、s surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ir

40、eland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe its like a rose,“ he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of roses?“Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you dont necessarily need

41、 to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, thats fine by me.33 By saying “Ask the people of India and Pakistan“ (Paragraph 4), the author is trying to show that_.（A）speaking the same language doesnt necessarily bring peace（B） wars can destroy the relationship

42、between two countries（C） English doesnt kill other languages（D）English is widely used in the world34 The author would probably agree that_.（A）its very hard to plant many kinds of flowers in a garden（B） its good for people from other countries to learn English（C） more and more people like to plant ro

43、ses in their gardens（D）English is easier to learn than other languages35 This passage is mainly about_.（A）why English has become a global language（B） how many people in the world speak English（C） how people in the world learn English as a foreign language（D）whether we need to worry about English bei
