Passage One
 The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language, as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.
 It is virtually impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purposes for which English is learned and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to define and still more difficult to assess what constitutes (构成) an adequate working knowledge for each situation.
 The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the infinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of the most important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual (多种语言的) populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for access to the scientific and technological developments in the West.
31.The main reason that English is so popular today is that _______.
it serves as a language that is needed for international communication
English is used as the official language of many British colonies
it has become the official language of such countries as Canada and South Africa
it has been used ever since Shakespeare’s time
32.What type of developing countries would be most likely to use English?
Those geographically close to the United States.
Those having close relationship with the United States and Great Britain.
Former colonies of Great Britain.
Countries where international conferences are often held.
33.It is difficult to assess what constitutes an adequate working knowledge of English because ____.
there are too many people speaking English in the wor
