30、me to explore the discomfort over the use of “Native speaker“ (NS) and “Non native speaker“ (NNS). The discomfort may stem partly from the fact that the word “native“ is sometimes misguidedly used to mean a primitive sort of savage; also partly because there will be an increasing number of expert En

31、glish users all over the world who did not start their lives speaking English.The expression “mother tongue“ may be suffering the same guilt complex. Is it fair to brand a girl a NNS of English because her mother was a French speaker while her father spoke English? “Father tongue“ then? Or should it

32、 have been “motherland tongue“? Fairer even might be “environment tongue“ for children growing up in an English speaking environment (even though their parents might speak another language at home).Students often tell me that they come to the U. K. because they want to learn “pure“ English in the “o

33、riginal“ environment. While I agree that learning in an English environment leads to more effective English learning, this “purity“ is a dangerous concept and I believe it is closely linked to “mother“ values and the term “native speakers“.“Motherland“ and “fatherland“ imply a patriotic love for one

34、s country, but language cannot easily work in this way, particularly when it is a “world language“ we are talking about. True, language is closely related to “culture“ but, for most modern users of English in the world, language is more about international communication than nationality.Terms such a

35、s “monolingual“, “bilingual“ and “multilingual“ may be more appropriate for the future. Or perhaps the fairest way is to eliminate altogether the need for these terms. There is some concrete evidence that NNS and “mother tongue“ are already losing their influence.To study for the RSA Cambridge Certi

36、ficate or Diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language to Adults (CELTA or DELTA), teacher trainees no longer need to have English as their first language and there is no mention of NS or NNS. The CELTA rubric, for example, states that participants must be “able to use written and spoken langua

37、ge in the classroom which is clear and coherent and essentially free of mistakes in spelling, punctuation and grammar“. There is no mention of where the trainee was born or grew up.More broadly, in English speaking countries, bilingual and trilingual people from a variety of backgrounds are now not

38、at all rare. These people speak nearly perfect English and are accepted, I believe, as “native speakers“ would be (that is. if I used that term any more!).（分数：10.00）(1).The author feels discomfort in using “native“ partly because _. A. many English people dont like to be labeled “native“ B. its not

39、good enough to generalize English people C. it conveys the sense of “uncivilized state“ D. many English users are against its use（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the author, the terms “native speaker“ and “non-native speaker“ cant be fairly applied to many English speakers because _. A. the speaker

40、s came from a background where English is not spoken B. the speakers are from a complex nationality background C. there is no relationship between the terms and the speakers D. it is impossible to measure the speakers English proficiency by using the terms（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Which of the following

41、statements is NOT true? A. The author is against students learning “pure“ English in the “original“ environment. B. Most modern users of English emphasize on communicative effect of the language rather than on its national identity. C. Many people can speak two or more languages. D. The fact that so

42、me “non-native speakers“ speak nearly perfect English again supports the need to get rid of the unfair terms.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).We may infer from the passage that _. A. its better for CELTA trainees to be born in English speaking environment B. its impossible for people from different backgrounds

43、to speak perfect English C. CELTA participants are not allowed to make mistakes in English in the classroom D. teacher trainees for CELTA or DELTA once needed to have English as their first language（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The best title for this text would be _.

45、 out of every five Americans at work was employed, i.e., worked for somebody else. Today only one out of five is not employed but working for himself. And when fifty years ago “being employed“ meant working as a factory laborer or as a farmhand, the employee of today is increasingly a middle-class p

Indeed, two things have characterized American society during these last fifty years: middle-class employees have been the fastest-growing groups in our working population
