为什么说经济全球化既是机遇又是挑战

Directions: In this part there is a short passage followed by five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.The advantages of some form of international language in the modern world are obvious. Thanks to modern methods of transport, we can travel everywhere more easily and more quickly than ever before, but the language problem still remains. Without a common language, misunderstandings arise and there can be no real contact between people of different nationalities. There are two possible solutions to this problem: either we choose one of the existing major languages of the world, or we make up an artificial one. But neither solution is simple because no existing major language will be acceptable to everyone and because an artificial language, such as Esperanto, has no literature and would be thought dull by many learners. It is often said that English is quickly becoming a world language. It is certainly the most widely used language in the world, and second only to Chinese in its number of native speakers. But there are certain dangers in choosing English as an international language. First of all, owing to political reasons and national pride, English is not acceptable to everyone as a world language. Many dislike its influence; they see it as a form of interference, perhaps even domination. English words enter their languages and this too causes offence. Although English is being taught in more and more schools abroad, the process is not always popular. Not every nation is prepared to accept the dominant position of a foreign language in their education system. Another danger is that differences in standard English arise from its use throughout the world. It could break up, with languages developing from dialects of English. Already Indian teachers and Nigerian students have been unable to understand each other’s English. Why can’t Indian teachers and Nigerian students understand each other’s English ______________________________________________
