The world is changing so fast that English, perhaps the most worldly of languages, is struggling to keep up.

Learners in the future are likely to be much younger. Young children are often said to be better at language learning than older learners but they also have special chal lenges. Young children don’t usually have the kind of instrumental motivation and determination for learning English that older learners often have. English lessons must therefore be fun and rewarding.

The reasons why people learn English are also changing. Globalization is bringing together more people than ever who speak different languages and who are turning to English as the means of communication. The English learners of the future may be less worried about sounding exactly like a native speaker and more concerned about how to use English effectively in cross-cultural communication. We may be hearing more non-native speakers in dialogues and a wider range of the “New Englishes” now used around the world.

Technology will  allow English to come to you, rather than you having to go to a special place to learn English.

Learning English has always involved both pain an d pleasure, private effort and social activity. Traditional learning provided take-it or leave-it mixes of these as well as of content but in future learners will  be able to choose a plan which suits their cultural and psychological dispositions(性情), or their particular needs at that moment. They, rather than their teachers, will decide how, what and when they will learn.

Above all, learning English is about communication and an important benefit of learning English is being able to exchange views and make friends with people all over the world. Despite the growing independence of learners, trusted institutions and brand names will remain important.

32. Compared to older learners, young English learners　　　.

A. are more active in learning

B. are more hard-working in learning

C. have more difficulties in learning

D. have less lasting determination in learning

33. What can we learn about the future English language?

A . British English will be more popular.

B. American English will be more popular.

C. Most people w ill speak standard English.

D. Many different kinds of Englishes will appear.

34. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Future English lessons will be more interesting.

B. Old people won’t have to learn English in the future.

C. People will pay more attention to English pronunciation.

D. Teachers will play a more important role in one’s English learning.

35. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Learning English means no pain in the future.

B. English training schools will not be popular with young people in the future.

C. English learners will become less independent in the future.

D. More attention will be paid to personal needs in English learning in the future.
