例题解析2 English and English Community 　　1 There is no doubt that English is a useful language．The people who speak English today make up the largest speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of Chinese．　　2  A speech community is similar to other kinds of communities．The people who make up the community share a common language．Often they live side by side, as they do in a neighborhood (街坊)，a village，or a city．More often they form a whole country．National boundaries，however，are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community．A speech community is any group of people who speak the same language no matter where they happen to live．　　3  We may say that anyone who speaks English belongs to the English speech community. For convenience(方便)，we may divide the speakers into two groups：one in which the speakers use English as their native language．the other in which the speakers 1earn English as a second language for the purpose of education，commerce，and so on．　　4 Learning a second language extends one’s vision and expands the mind．The history and literature of a second language record the real and fictional(虚构的)lives of people and their culture；a knowledge of them adds to our ability to understand and tO feel as they feel．Learning English as a second language provides another means of communication through which the window of the entire English speech community becomes a part of our heritage． 　　23 Paragraph 1　　24 Paragraph2　　25 Paragraph 3　　26 Paragraph4 　　A Threat Posed by English　　B Definition of a Speech Community　　C  Benefits of Learning a Second Language　　D  Advantages of Learning Chinese　　E Two Groups of the English Speech Community　　F  A Widely Used Language 　　27 Overall there are more speakers of Chinese than of ___. 　　28 The boundaries of a speech community may be different from ___.　　29 People who live in different places may belong to ___.　　30 Many people learn English as ___. 　　A  a second language　　B the same language　　C the same speech community　　D  any other language　　E  national boundaries　　F  a part of one’s heritage 　　文章标题分析：English and English Community 　　小标题被选项分析：　　A Threat Posed by English　　B Definition of a Speech Community　　C  Benefits of Learning a Second Language　　D  Advantages of Learning Chinese　　E Two Groups of the English Speech Community　　F  A Widely Used Language　　分析：借助文章主题：English and English Community，判断D离主题偏离的最远，因此猜测D可能不是答案。 　　直接解题　　A Threat Posed by English　　B Definition of a Speech Community　　C  Benefits of Learning a Second Language　　D  Advantages of Learning Chinese　　E Two Groups of the English Speech Community　　F  A Widely Used Language
