问题     Many people hope that the whole world will one day speak a common language. Over the years, people have made up new languages with this aim.(72)At least six hundred languages have been developed in the search for a language which all human beings would be able to speak. The most famous one, Esperanto(世界语), was the idea of Ludwig Zamenhof, a doctor in Warsaw. He published a book about his new language in 1887.
    To encourage people to learn the language, he made it as simple as possible.
    Esperanto has never been accepted as an official world language, but it has been suggested as an auxiliary language. By 1950 it had been taught to one and a half million speakers, and it was spoken in six hundred schools. Today Esperanto is spoken by about eight million people, and more than one hundred newspapers and magazines in the language are published regularly throughout the world. Thousands of books have been written in Esperanto, including those translated from other languages.
    Today the need for a new auxiliary language like Esperanto seems less obvious.(73)Throughout this century English has grown more and more important. It has become a second language for many millions of people. The fact that more are learning English shows that the use of English is still growing worldwide. No one would deny the usefulness of a world language, but not many people think that Esperanto is likely to play such a role.
What is the best title of the passage?
选项 A、The Language Made by One Man
B、A Talk About the World Language
C、English as a Second Language for Everyone
D、Esperanto—a Better Language Than English
答案B
解析 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文全篇都在讲世界性语言；根据文章尾句可知，Esperanto不大可能成为世界性语言，所以排除D项。
