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 uniformity 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 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 the 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 second language extends one’s vision and expands the mind. The history and literature of a second language record the real and fictional 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 heritage.

答案与题解：
F此段-释何为语言群体，最后一句话是关键，可以看做是语言群体的定义。

C此段主要谈的是学习第二语言的益处,最后一句话更具体到学习英语的益处。
B答案来自第一段最后一句，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。 以only开头的句子谓语部分要求使用倒装句。

译文：
英语和英语群体
毫无疑问英语是一种有用的语言。现在说英语的人构成了除了说汉语者之外最大的语言群体。 最初他们是从北欧定居英格兰的一些小部落。他们的语言变得越来越相似。最终，这种语言具有 了足够的统一性，致使所有在英格兰居住的'人都能使用。人们由于共享同一种语言而组成一个语 言群体。‘
一个语言群体和其他类型的群体相似。构成这个群体的人共同使用一种语言。通常他们彼此 相邻，就像四邻、一个村庄或城市那样。通常他们组成一个国家。然而国界并不一定是一种语言 群体的分界线。一个语言群体是讲同一种语言的人群，无论他们住在哪里。
我们可以说讲英语的人都属于英语语言群体。为了方便起见，我们可以把说英语的人分为两 类：第一类中讲话者把英语作为他的母语，另一类中讲话者因为教育、商业等目的把英语作为第 二语言来学。
对世界上许多在国际交往中把英语作为第二语言的国家来说，英语是在公共活动的几个领域 中可供选用的语言之一。英语被用作空中交通、商业和国际外交的语言4 MMLr英语是世界上大 部分出版物所用的语言，因此教育开始严重地依赖对英语的理解。1 . % -
学语言能开阔人的眼界和拓宽人的思维。第二语言记载的历史和羑学记述个民族 真实和虛构的生活和文化;了解它们能够撮商我们的理解力,,并且像他们那样去感受。把英语作 为第二外语来学可以提供另一种交流途径，通过这个途径整令英语语言群体的窗口就成为我们的 文化遗产的一部分。
