Dear Sir or Madam,

I’m writing in the hope that I can obtain a chance to further my study in computer science in your university.

First, please allow me to make a brief introduction of myself. I’m Li Hua, a boy born in May, 1994. I’m graduating from the Middle School Attached to Sichuan University next June. I’m an all-A student with a keen interest in the computer and the Internet. Besides, I’m good at English. I know that The University of California is ranked among the most famous universities in the USA, and that’s the very reason why I’m now applying to further my university study in your Computer Science Department.

I would appreciate it if you could take the trouble to provide me with some information and send me the necessary application materials. By the way, my email address is Llihua91@sina.com.

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

     English is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among

everyday speakers? One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is

declining (降低) globally while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by

increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.     

     However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance (主导) by the middle of this century to rank, after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. "The

number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isn't rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been

largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken,' he says.    

     In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the

top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil, and Malay,

spoken in south and Southeast Asia.     

     David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, says about 1.5

billion of the world's six billion people speak it as a second tongue compared to the 400 million native

speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future

of its dominance. "Nobody quite knows what's going to happen because no language has been in this

position before. But all the evidence (证据) suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a

hill and is getting faster,' he said. 

1. In David Graddol's opinion, English will _____.    

A. remain widespread and important    

B. be more important than any other language    

C. lose its dominant position    

D. die away in the near future

A. snowballs will roll down faster than language balls    

B. the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the past    

C. English language will soon drop in dominance    

D. more and more language users will choose English

3. How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English?    

A. 2.            

B. 3.          

C. 4.            

D. 5.

4. According to David Graddol, which of the following will possibly be one of the languages that will be most widely spoken?     

A. Malay.    

B. Arabic.    

C. Urdu.        

D. German.

5. What should be the best title for the passage?    

A. English Remaining the Dominant Position    

B. The Future of English? Who Knows?
