It is widely accepted that English is the global language of modern times.

About three decades ago, French was recognized as the language of diplomacy(外交), and German was considered the language of science and technology English now dominates(主导) not only as the language of science but also diplomacy, computing, and tourism. Today, in terms of native speakers, Mandarin Chinese is the world’s largest language.

Yet there are people who believe that China will become the most powerful country in the world some have even fixed the date as the year 2020 .At present, while English is more widely spoken that any other language, there are more people who speak Chinese than English due to the large population in China alone. If China does become a world power there is no doubt that this language will spread worldwide.

As the controversy over which language will become dominant in the world in the world continues, there are many who feel that the dominance of English is unique and irreversible.(不可逆的) However, a separate study from David Graddol’s suggests that the English’s dominant in the scientific area will continue. There is also an argument that the English language would be changed greatly by 2020 for various reasons. With the possibility of China rising as a world power, Mandarin could definitely challenge the dominance the dominance of English as a global language.

All but the tiniest of roads have names so they can be recognized on a map, and so people can ask directions to them Americans name a lot of bridges too.

Very often these names carry a clear geographical reference -- the Pennsylvania Turnpike, for example. Or, like George Washington Bridge, roads and bridges are named for famous historical figures or powerful officers.

We make a dig out of naming things, as when someone decided to name an airport after a U.S. judge. So now we have the Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

Many if not most, of our college buildings are named for wealthy people who gave a lot of money to the schools. And our sports centers took this idea a step further. Companies paid a whole lot of money for what’s called the “naming right” to U. S. cellular field in Chicago, for example, and Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.

Now the governor(州长) of Virginia, Bob McDonnell, wants to sell naming rights to roads and bridges in the state. He says not just companies, but also wealthy people, would help the Virginia transportation budget(预算) by paying to have their names --- or perhaps those of loved ones --- placed on roads and bridges, and thus on maps as well.

People hold different views, however. Supporters say Americans are used to having things sponsored. Others disagree, considering the ides as the next step in the “companies of America.” They wonder how far such an idea might spread, and where it would end: at the Burger King Pacific Ocean, perhaps.

47. Most of the roads need to have names so that _____.

A. they can be easily recognized on maps

B. people can learn about them better

C. they can remind people of the past

D. people can enjoy naming them

48. Who are many college buildings named for according to the passage?

A. Powerful officers B. Wealthy people

C. Historical figures D. Famous judges

49. Why does the governor of Virginia want to sell naming rights?

A. To help the transportation budget. B. To make the state well-known.

C. To remember the loved names. D. To increase companies’ sales.

50. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Pacific ocean will be renamed.

B. Americans have sponsored naming a lot.

C. Everything is named by an American company.

D. People have different ideas towards naming things.
