问题     English has become the world’s number one language in the 20th century. In every country where English is not the native language, especially in the Third World, people must strive to learn it to the best of their abilities, if they want to participate fully in the development of their countries.【B6】______________
    【B7】______________Nonetheless, a world full of different languages will disappear if the present trend in many countries to use English to replace the national or official languages in education, trade and even politics continues. 【B8】______________
    The Third World countries that are now using English as a medium of instruction are depriving 75 per cent of their future leaders of a proper education. According to many studies, only around 20 to 25 per cent of students in these countries can manage to learn the language of instruction (English) as well as basic subjects at the same time. Many leaders of these Third World countries are obsessed with English and for them English is everything. They seem to believe that if the students speak English, they are already knowledgeable. 【B9】______________
    All the greatest countries of the world are great because they constantly use their own languages in all national development activities, including education. From a psychological point of view, those who are taught in their own language from the start will develop better self-confidence and self-reliance. From a linguistic point of view, the best brains can only be produced if students are educated in their own language from the start.【B10】______________
    There is nothing wrong, however, in learning a foreign language at advanced levels of education. But the best thing to do is to have a good education in one’s native language first, then go abroad to have a university education in a foreign language.
    A ) If this situation continues, the native or official languages of these countries will certainly die within two or three generations. This phenomenon has been called linguistic genocide. A language dies if it is not fully used in most activities, particularly as a medium of instruction in schools.
    B ) Those who are taught in a foreign language from the start will tend to be imitators and lack self-confidence. They will tend to rely on foreign consultants.
    C ) Suppose you work in a big firm and find English very important for your job because you often deal with foreign businessmen. Now you are looking for a place where you can improve your English, especially your spoken English.
    D )  But many people are concerned that English’s dominance will destroy native languages.
    E ) These leaders speak and write English much better than their national languages. If these leaders deliver speeches anywhere in the world, they use English and they feel more at home with it and proud of their ability as well. The citizens of their countries do not understand their leaders’ speeches because they are made in a foreign language.
    F ) Here are some advertisements about English language training from newspapers. You may find the information you need.
    G ) A close examination reveals a great number of languages have fallen casualty to English. For example, it has wiped out Hawaiian, Welsh, Scotch, Gaelic, Irish, native American languages, and many others. Luckily, some of these languages are now being revived, such as Hawaiian and Welsh, and these languages will live again, hopefully, if dedicated people continue their work of reviving them.

选项
答案G
解析 本题可以组合运用总分结构法和复现结构定位法。从整篇文章的结构来看，第2题是分述部分，即此空中的信息必须是第1题总述信息的展开，而第1题中的总述信息核心强调了destroy，即“英语的危害性”，这样选入第2题中的选项必须也是探讨英语的危害性的，可能出现destroy的复现点；另外，第2题处于第2段的段首，应同时与本段落的原文信息具有极大的相近性和关联性。我们在本段落的原文信息中可以定位一个关键词disappear.(消失)，即本段落的原文信息主要是阐述英语使其他语言逐渐消亡，这样，第2题中的信息不但要按照destory这个大导向去探讨英语的危害性，而且必须是具体阐述。选项G)中的信息首先强调了“许多语言have fallen casualty(伤亡)to English”，casualty与destroy是完全一致的复现点，表明选项G)是沿着总述发展的；之后，选项G)中举了明确的例子具体说明英语是如何“伤害”其他语言的，即详细列举了被英语wiped out(消灭)的各种语言，wiped out与本段原文信息中的关键词disappear其实又是一致的复现点，因此，选项G)填入第2题中可以承上启下，使文章连贯衔接。
