【評論內容】請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題Professor Dr. Juliane House, in her research journal, clearly differentiates between “languages for communication” and“languages for identification” and does not see any threat posed by ELF (English as Lingua Franca) to other national andregional languages. Her point is valid when a Sri Lankan talks to a Pakistani or a Bangladeshi talks to an Iranian, becauseall of the speakers use English as a neutral global language solely for communication purposes. However, the socio-cultural prejudice and superiority of the language may arise when an English person is conversing with a non-nativespeaker.朱利安·豪斯教授博士在其研究期刊中,將“溝通語言”和“身份認同語言”進行了清晰的區分,並且不認為英語作為世界語 (ELF) 對其他國家和地區語言構成任何威脅。她的觀點在斯里蘭卡人與巴基斯坦人交談、孟加拉人與伊朗人交談時是有效的,因為所有的人都在使用英語作為一種中立的全球語言,純粹用於溝通目的。然而,當英語母語者與非母語者交談時,可能會出現社會文化偏見和語言優越感。Although the contemporary sway of English language over others is beyond any cavil, based upon the fact thatit is also the language of the Americans, the most developed and influential nation on the global map in the fields ofeducation, economics, defense technology and world trade, the fact remains that the seeds of English language’sflourishing crop were sown by the unjustifiable British colonialism and forced occupation over weaker nations.Moreover, if people living in the developing countries have started believing that their educational, economic and socialgrowth and future prospects totally depend upon developing English language proficiency, I am sorry to say, they arepsychological slaves and under threat. This dominance of language is utterly illegitimate.

Nonecan deny the fact that a nation’s literature, folk tales and entertainment media are the most vibrant sources of promotingits cultural norms, moral values and social ethics, and the positive and constructive process of learning a global language.與此相關,我們無疑面臨著社會文化衰落的風險,因為在我們的教育機構以及語言學習中心的多媒體實驗室和圖書館,學生們會被展示英語電影、卡通和電視連續劇,並提供英語故事書等,以發展他們的聽力和閱讀能力,並建立他們的詞彙庫。沒有人能否認,一個國家的文學、民間故事和娛樂媒體是促進其文化規範、道德價值觀和社會風俗的最生動源泉,也是學習全球語言的一個積極和建設性的過程。46 Which of the following is NOT implied in this passage?(A) English is a global academic language used by many scholars in different disciplines.(B) English is widely used in business communication and negotiation.(C) The dominance of English is good for promoting a developing country’s culture.(D) Many people around the globe are communicating with each other in English.哪項不是本文暗含的?(A) 英語是許多不同學科的學者使用的全球學術語言。 (是) (B) 英語廣泛用於商業交流和談判。 (是) (C) 英語的支配地位有利於促進發展中國家的文化。 (錯,本文主張英語支配地位不利於發展中國家文化。) (D) 許多全球各地的人正在用英語互相交流。 (是)答案:(C) 英語的支配地位有利於促進發展中國家的文化。47 Which of the following is the best title for this passage?(A) The Advantages of Learning English(B) The Varieties and Functions of Language(C) English as a Multi-cultural Language(D) The Risks and Threats of Using English 以下哪個是本文最佳標題?(A) 學習英語的優勢 (否,文章談論的不僅僅是學習英語的優勢,還包括它的風險和問題。) (B) 語言的種類和功能 (否,文章主要關注英語,而非語言一般。) (C) 英語作為一種多元文化語言 (否,文章並沒有強調英語的多元文化性。) (D) 使用英語的風險和威脅 (是,文章主要探討了英語作為世界語存在的風險和問題。)答案:(D) 使用英語的風險和威脅。48 According to this passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the predominance of English nowadays?(A) English is selected by international enterprises as the sole official language.(B) English is often preferred as a medium for instruction in global academia.(C) English is the national language of the U.S.A.(D) English was promoted by the British during their colonial rule over many countries. 根據本文,以下哪項沒有為當今英語的優勢地位做出貢獻?(A) 國際企業將英語選為唯一的官方語言。 (是) (B) 英語經常被選為全球學術界教學媒介。 (是) (C) 英語是美國國語。 (是) (D) 英語在英國殖民統治期間被推廣。 (錯,本文明確提到了這一點。)答案:(D) 英語在英國殖民統治期間被推廣。49 What is the potential risk in using English as a medium for education?(A) The decline of a nation’s social and cultural development.(B) The marginalization of children from underprivileged families.(C) The overwhelming frustration for those who have no talents for language.(D) The widespread discrimination against those who cannot master English. 使用英語作為教育媒介的潛在風險是什麼?(A) 一個國家的社會和文化發展衰落。 (是,這是作者的主要擔憂之一。) (B) 來自貧困家庭的兒童被邊緣化。 (這可能是潛在風險,但本文沒有明確提到。) (C) 那些沒有語言天賦的人會感到極度沮喪。 (這可能是潛在風險,但本文沒有明確提到。) (D) 對那些無法掌握英語的人idespread discrimination against those who cannot master English) (沒有證據表明本文作者認為英語會帶來普遍的歧視。)答案:(A) 一個國家的社會和文化發展衰落。50 According to this passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned among the most salient agents for advancing a nation’s culture?(A) Literature.(B) Folklores.(C) Ethics.(D) Media. 根據本文,以下哪項沒有被列為促進國家文化最重要的因素之一?(A) 文學 (是) (B) 民間傳說 (是) (C) 道德 (是) (D) 媒體 (是)答案:(D) 沒有提到的。本文提到的所有選項都是促進國家文化最重要的因素。
