It is a problem that is noticed by language teachers and students.

  Mr Kevin Huang Xi, 23, an English major at the Beijing University of Technology who graduated this year with a bachelor’s degree(学士学位), feels it in his daily usage of the Chinese language.

  Part of the debate(讨论)was whether there was a need to learn so much English, as it was not useful locally in some instances, he said.

  What is more, because of a lack(缺乏)of an environment for learning English in most places, the result of hard work by the students is often not good.Kindergartens have started teaching English, showing that demand is high for English-language training from an early age.In Shanghai, for example, about a fifth of kindergartens offer English-language lessons.

  Earlier this year, some kindergartens even advertised themselves as English-only, improving the Shanghai education authorities(当局)to step in.The education commission(委员会)made it clear that “the mother tongue is still the basis for teaching in kindergartens”.The wish for English learning and the effects on the Chinese language have come to the notice of the state education authorities.

  Also, usage of putonghua would grow as China developed as a market economy and literal exchanges(交流)increased, thus boosting demand for a common language.At the same time, the government has in recent years also strengthened measures to popularise(普及)putonghua, writing into law for the first time in 2001 the status of putonghua and Chinese script(描述)as the “national common language”.

  “The final result most possibly is that the market for putonghua will continue to grow bigger while that for dialects will come down, but it can’t be helped, it’s a social trend(潮流), ”someone said.

  They will finally be kept in museums as history and as research material and research objects for language scholars, someone added.

[问题导入]How do you think about“Putonghua and English language”?

________

  A senior teacher’s view:Putonghua or Chinese language is more important than English language now in the world.

  A boss’s view:English is the most widely used in the world and is the threat to Chinese Language.

  A villager’s view:The dialect should be developed and kept the local land lively.

  A teenager’s view:English is left out and it is our native language.

  An editor’s view:We must develop English, Chinese language and putonghua, in this way we can communicate with each other, and people perhaps can understand each other and get rid of trouble.

  My view:________

第三部分: 阅读理解 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
BEIJING - TV viewers may no longer be able to hear English abbreviations(缩写), like "NBA" (National Basketball Association), from mainland broadcasters.
China Central Television (CCTV) and Beijing Television (BTV) confirmed to China Daily on Tuesday that they had received a notice from a related government department, asking them to avoid using certain English abbreviations in Chinese programs.
The channels, however, did not reveal exactly how many English abbreviations are listed in the notice.
The Hangzhou-based Today Morning Express reported on Tuesday that a number of provincial television stations have also received the notice.
Broadcasters and journalists have been asked to provide Chinese explanations for unavoidable English abbreviations in their programs, the report said.
The notice not only limits the use of English abbreviations in sports news, but also in economic and political news. Abbreviations such as "GDP" (gross domestic product), "WTO" (World Trade Organization) and "CPI" (consumer price index) will also be substituted with their Chinese pronunciations, it said.
The country's top watchdog on television and radio, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, refused to comment.
The move comes after a growing number of national legislators and political advisors called for preventive measures to preserve the purity of the Chinese language.
"If we don't pay attention and don't take measures to stop mixing Chinese with English, the Chinese language won't remain pure in a couple of years," said Huang Youyi, editor-in-chief of the China International Publishing Group and secretary-general of the Translators' Association of China.
"In the long run, Chinese will lose its role as an independent linguistic system for passing on information and expressing human feelings," he told China Daily in an earlier interview.
According to his proposal, all documents and speeches of top government officials should be written in pure Chinese, without the use of English abbreviations such as GDP, WTO or CPI.
His proposal also noted that a law or regulation should be introduced to serve as a guideline for the use of foreign words in domestic publications, and that a national translation committee should be set up to translate foreign names and technical terms, which can then be published on a website.
The restricted use of English abbreviations on Chinese television programs has provoked a debate among scholars.
"It makes no sense to introduce a regulation to prevent the use of English in the Chinese language in the face of globalization," Liu Yaoying, a professor at the Communication University of China, said on Tuesday. "It is cultural conservatism."
"If Western countries can accept some Chinglish words, why can't the Chinese language be mixed with English?"
The Singaporean newspaper New Straits Times and London's Daily Telegraph both used Chinese Pinyin Lianghui in their reports about the annual meeting of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, rather than using English to paraphrase the proceedings.
Governments of some Western countries have also attempted to preserve the purity of their languages.
For example, France is a country known for its linguistic pride. Its government outlaws advertising in English and mandates a 40 percent quota of French songs on the radio, according to a Christian Science Monitor report.
56. Who issued the ban on English abbreviation?
A. China Central Television.          B. Beijing Television.  
C. an authority department.          D. a number of national political advisors.
57. The purpose for which was the ban proposed was __________.
A. to preserve the purity of the Chinese language     
B. to improve our international communication
C. to standardize the functioning of radio and TV stations
D. to prevent foreign languages interfere with teach of Chinese in schools
58. By calling the regulation “cultural conservatism”, Mr Liu Yaoying meant to show his _________ for the move.
A. approval     B. criticism      C. appreciation       D. disappointment
59. The most likely opinion of the writer of this news report tends to be _________ towards the newly introduced regulation.
A. critical       B. positive       C. negative          D. neutral
