（2022秋·上海杨浦·高一上海市杨浦高级中学校考阶段练习）Never in recorded history has a language been as widely spoken as English is today. The reason why millions are learning it is simple; it is the language of international business and, ___91___, the key to financial success.
David Graddol, the author of English Next, says it is ___92___ to view the story of English simply as a success for its native speakers in North America, Britain, etc.— but that would be an easy mistake. Global English has entered a more complex stage, changing in ways that the English-speaking countries cannot control and might not ___93___.
An important question one might ask is: whose English will it be in the future Non-native speakers now ___94___ native English speakers by three to one. The majority of encounters in English today take place between non-native speakers. According to Graddol, many business meetings held in English appear to run more smoothly when no native English speakers are ___95___, whose use of idioms, metaphors, phrasal verbs, etc. often cause ___96___ problems.
Professor Barbara Seidlhofer, Professor at the University of Vienna, records and transcribes spoken English interactions around the world. She has noticed that non-native speakers are ___97___ standard English grammar in several ways. Even the most experienced speakers sometimes omit the “s” in the third person singular. Many omit definite and indefinite articles where they are ___98___ in standard English, or put them in where standard English does not use them. Nouns that are not plural in native-speaker English are used as plurals by non-native speakers (e.g. “informations, knowledges, advices”).
Many native English speakers will insist that these are just ___99___. “Knowledges” and “phone to somebody” are simply wrong. Many non-native speakers who teach English around the world would ____100____. But language changes, and so do concepts of grammatical ____101____.
For now, those who insist on standard English grammar remain in a(n) ____102____ position. Academics who want their work published in international journals have to obey the grammatical rules followed by native English-speaking elites(精英).
But spoken English in another matter. Why should non-native speakers bother with what native speakers regard as correct Their main aim, ____103____, is to be understood by one another, and in most cases there is no native speaker present.
Professor Seidlhofer says, “I think what we are looking at is the ____104____ of a new international attitude, the recognition and awareness that in many international contexts non-native speakers do not need to speak like native speakers, to compare themselves to them, and thus always feel ‘____105____ .’”
