Answer the questions on each text by

28、choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 Following Martin Wedells piece “Local teacher or native speaker?“ now is perhaps a good time 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 t

29、he word “native“is sometimes misguidedly used to mean a primitive sort of savage: also partly because there will be an increasing number of expert English users all over the world who did not start their lives speaking English. The expression “mother tongue“ may be suffering the same guilt complex.

30、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 have been “motherland tongue“ ? Fairer even might be“environment tongue“ for children growing up in an English speaking Students often tell me that t

31、hey come to the U. K. because they want to leam“pure“ English in the “original“ 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

32、speakers“. “Motherland“and “fatherland“ imply a patriotic love for ones 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 i

33、s more about international communication than nationality. Terms such as “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“ a

34、re already losing their influence. To study for the RSA Cambridge Certificate 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, s

35、tates that participants must be “able to use written and spoken language 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, bil

36、ingual and trilingual people from a variety of backgrounds are now not 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!). 46 The author feels discomfort in using“ native“ partly because_. （ A） man

37、y English people dont like to be labelled“native“ （ B） its not good enough to generalize English people （ C） it conveys the sense of“uncivilized state“ （ D） many English users are against its use 47 According to the author, the terms “native speaker“ and “non-native speaker“ cant be fairly applied t

38、o many English speakers because_. （ A） the speakers came from a background where English is not spoken （ B） me 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 usin

39、g the terms 48 Which of the following 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

40、two or more languages. （ D） The fact that some “non-native speakers“ speak nearly perfect English again supports the need to get rid of the unfair terms. 49 We may infer from the passage that_. （ A） its better for CELTA trainees to be born in English speaking environment （ B） its impossible for peop

41、le from different backgrounds 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 50 The best title for this text would be_. （ A） New Trends in Engli

42、sh Language Teaching （ B） Discrimination in Distinguishing Between“native Speaker“ and“Non-native Speaker“ （ C） Native Speaker , an Outdated Term （ D） Communication, a Major Task in Using Language 50 Our country has become a society of employees. A hundred years or so ago only one out of every five

43、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 person with a subst

44、antial formal education, holding a professional or management job requiring intellectual and technical skills. 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 growing so fast m

45、at the industrial worker, the oldest child of the Industrial Revolution, has been losing in numerical importance despite the expansion of industrial production. Yet you will find little on what it is to be an employee. You can find a great deal of very dubious advice on how to get a job or how to ge

46、t a promotion. You can also find a good deal of work in a chosen field, whether it be the mechanists trade or book keeping. Every one of these trades requires different skills, sets different standards, and requires a different preparation. Yet they all have employeeship in common. And increasingly,

47、 especially in the large business or in the government, employeeship is more important to success than the special professional knowledge or skill. Certainly more people fail because they do not know the requirements of being an employee than because they do not adequately possess the skills of thei

48、r trade: the higher you climb the ladder, the more you get into administrative or executive work, the greater the emphasis on ability to work within the organization rather than on technical abilities or professional knowledge. 51 It is implied that fifty years ago_. （ A） eighty percent of American

49、working people were employed in factories （ B） twenty percent of American intellectuals were employees （ C） the status of employees was pretty high （ D） the employees were not as skilled and qualified as that of today 52 According to the passage, with the development of modern industry, _. （ A） factory laborers will overtake intellectual employees in number （ B） mere are as many middle-class employees as factory laborer
