问题 Never has there been a language quite like English. A bold statement, yet nevertheless true. Consider a few statistics. Today, one out of every seven people in the world use English in some way. More than half the world’s books are written in English; the majority of international telephone calls are made in English; 60% of the world’s radio programs are broadcast in English. English is even the working language of international air travel. For the first time in history, a single language has become dominant across a wide range of human activity, ranging from music, film and fine arts to the fields of business, diplomacy, science and technology.

选项

答案世界上从来没有任何一种语言使用得像英语那样广泛。这种说法太自负了,然而却符合实际情况。请看一些统计数字。如今,世界上每七个人中就有一个人不同程度地使用英语;世界上有一半的书籍是用英语写的;大多数国际电话是用英语通话的;世界上有60%的广播节目是用英语播的;英语甚至还是国际航空旅行中通用的语言。有史以来第一次有一种语言支配了从音乐、电影、美术以及商业、外交和科技等人类在许多领域中的活动。
