1There 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 learn 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

English and English Community
1. There is no denying 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. Originally they were small tribes of people from northern Europe who settled in England.Their languages became more and more similar to each other. Finally,the language had enough uni-formity to be used by all speakers in England.The people were united into a speech community through their shared language.
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, 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,we may classify the speakers into two groups:one in which the speakers use English as their native language,the other in which the speakers learn English as a second language for the purpose of education,commerce,and so on.
4. English serves as an alternative language in several areas of public activity for many nations of the world which employ it as an international second language .English has been adopted as the language of air traffic,commerce,as well as international diplomacy .Moreover,English is the language of the majority of published materials in the world so that education has come to rely heavily on an understanding of English.
5. Learning a second language extends one's vision and expands the mind.The history and litera- ture of a second language record the real and fictional lives of people and their culture;a knowl- edge of them adds to our ability to understand and to feel as they feel .Learning English as a sec- ond language provides another means of communication through which the window of the entire English speech community becomes a part of our heritage.The idea of the national boundaries is often different from_____.
A:.that of a speech community
B: can a speech community be formed
C: in order to learn English better
D: for the sake of simplicity
E: has played an important role in the field of education
F: is widely used in several areas of public activity答案：A解析：该段通过与其他群体相比较来解释什么是语言群体，该段最后一句话是主题句，也是解答该题的关键，它可以被视为语言群体的定义。选项F符合题意，故选F
该段把讲英语的语言群体分为两类，一类是把英语当作母语；一类是把英语视为第二语言。选项D中的关键词composition是“构成”的意思，符合题意，故选D。
该段讲的是英语作为第二语言在世界上许多国家的各个领域都被广泛应用，如航空、商务、外交、教育等。选项A符合题意，故选A。
该段主要谈的是学习第二语言的益处，最后一句话更是具体到学习英语的益处。选项C符合题意，故选C。
答案来自第一段的最后一句，本题只是把该句倒装了。该句说明人们是通过他们所拥有的共同语言组成一个语言群体。题干以only开头，这要求主句谓语部分使用倒装句，选项中只有B项符合题意，故选B。
答案来自第二段第四句话，该句说明国界与语言群体的界限并不总是一致的。选项中涉及语言群体的只有A和B项，上题已经选择B项，所以只有A合适，A项中的 that用来代替the+有关前述名词。故选A。
本题的答案可以在第三段第二句中找到。该句表明为了方便起见，我们将说英语者分为两类。原句中的for convenience等于选项D , for the sake of simplicity。故选D。
本题较简单，只要找到第四段最后一句话就能正确回答该题。该句表明教育越来越依赖对英语的理解，反过来就是说对英语的理解在教育中起到重要作用。选项E符合题意，故选E。 -

言语变体（speech variety）
正确答案:言语变体（speechvariety），有称之为语言变体，是语言使用者所使用的具有一定区别性特征的变体。这些不同的特征主要反映在发音、句法规则或词汇上。言语变体作为一种中性词语可以指标准语（standardlanguagE.、方言（dialect）、洋径浜语（pidgin）、克里奥尔语（creolE.等，可以指同一语言的地域性或民族性变体，如英语中的澳大利亚英语、黑人英语等，也可以指同属一种语言的功能性言语变体，如法律语体等。
