D.whether we need to worry about English being a world language请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!
参考答案
正确答案:D
解析:这道题考查学生抓住文章主旨大意的能力。文章的第一、二段提供了本文讨论的话题的背景,即英语正在变为世界性的语言并且作为人们的母语或第二语言或外语被广泛应用。第三段提出了问题Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures(文化)? Or should we worry about the dangers of“mono-culturalism”,a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music?我们应该为这个事实感到高兴呢,还是应当为出现“一元文化主义”的危险而担忧呢?作者在以下各段就这个问题发表了自己的意见。因此应该选D选项 whether we need to worry about English being a world language.“是否有必要为英语变为世界语言而担忧”。选项B为枝节问题,而选项A和C在文中没有详细讨论,不是主题,故排除。
