第一篇
A Debate on the English Language
A measure declaring English the national language is under intense debate in the United States. The US Senate passed two declarations last week.One calls English the nation's official language and the other says it is the "common and unifying（统一的）"tongue. But Americans found themselves divided on the issue.
Since people worldwide know that most Americans speak only English,many can't understand why the issue is so controversial（有争议的）.
"The discussion is related to fears of immigration issues,"says Dick Tucker,a social scientist at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University."It's related to a worry about the changing demography （人口统计）of the US. It's a worry about who will continue to have political and economic influence".
In fact,the notion of protecting the language has been kicked around almost since the nation's founding. John Adams lobbied（游说）in 1780 for the creation of a national academy to correct and improve the English language. But his proposal died, since lawmakers saw it as a royalist（保皇主义者）attempt to define personal behavior.
Since then,the country hasn't had a national language,but the idea of recognizing the special status of English lived on.
The emotions surrounding language resurface（再次浮现）not because people feel comfortable with English.It is more about the discomfort many Americans feel with the new languages,says Walt Wolfram,a professor at North Carolina State University.
"Language is never about language,"he says.
According to the 2000 US Census Bureau report,of 209 million Americans over 18 years old, 172 million speak only English at home.About 37 million speak languages other than English. Among them,6.5 million speak poor English and 3.1 million don't speak English at all.

参考答案
参考解析
解析：文章第一段提到：上周美国参议院通过了两项声明。一个称英语为官方语言，而另一个称其是“普遍和统一的”语言。显然，这两项声明与英语的地位有关。因此，选项A正确。
第四段提到了1780年即18世纪发生的事件。在这一段涉及的人物是约翰?亚当斯，而“Walt Wolfram”是北卡罗来纳州立大学的教授，和1780年没有关系，因此，选项B正确。
题干：以下哪个问题和当前的辫论不相干？A．移民问题。B．人口统计的变化。C．对新语言的担心。D．美国的军事实力。前三个选项在文章中均可找到出处。因此，答案为D。
题干：根据2000年美国人口普查局的报告哪个陈述是正确的？ 文章最后一段提供的数据表明正确答案应为C。
词汇题。kicked around：讨论、议论；invented：发明；formed：构成、形成； shaped：构成、塑造成；discussed：讨论、议论，它和“kicked around”是近义词，所以选项D正确。
