《21st Century Breakdown》是绿日的又一张极具概念意味的朋克歌剧专辑，在当中，他们永无疲倦地讲述着美国故事和美国梦想，铿锵的节奏与迷人的旋律同在，五年的磨砺让这支流行朋克乐队在叙述起大命题时更为从容，也更有说服力。 该专辑依然延续《AmericanIdiot》的概念之路，以年轻夫妻Christian和Gloria为主角，共分三幕，用英雄与骗局、骗子与圣人、马蹄铁和手榴弹来讲述一个世纪的兴衰成败。 《21st Century Breakdown》的首发单曲《21 Guns》的吉他演奏与绿日的经典之作《Boulevard of Broken Dreams》十分相似，风格及旋律与Mott the Hoople"s《All the Young Dudes》十分相似；同名歌曲《21st Century Breakdown》是一首比较伟大的歌曲，旋律及歌词都不激烈；《Know Your Enemy》的歌词虽然冗长，但节奏快速，吉他演奏十分的激烈；《Before the Lobotomy》与绿日的其它歌曲风格、旋律、歌词方面都截然不同，十分的悲哀；《March of the Dogs》矛头指向了宗教，歌词较讽刺；其它的歌曲，《Restless Heart Syndrome》、《See the Light》、《Christian"s Inferno》等都有安静的钢琴伴奏。

21世纪的英文是the twenty-first century。世纪指计算年代的单位，一个世纪是一百年，通常是指连续的一百年。当一个世纪 也就是一百年结束之后，例如2001年，也就是21世纪的第一年，就像是转过了一圈，人们常常称之为世纪圈。第一世纪是从公元1年到公元100年，而20世纪则从公元1901年到公元2000年，因此2001年是21世纪的第一年。每个世纪的最后一年，不包括在任何年代里，只说某某世纪最后一年。2000年是二十世纪的最后一年。

21st = twenty-first ["twenti "fu0259:st]

原因如下：第21个世纪表示这个世纪所以这样表示：Twenty-first CenturyTwentieth Century 20世纪Twenty-second Century 22世纪twenty-third century 23世纪twenty-fourth century 24世纪等等以此类推简写的话，例如21世纪 the 21st century。

　　Life in the 21st century,will be different from life in the 20th century,because many changes will take place in the new century.But what will the changes be? 　　The population is growing fast.There will be more and more people in the world and most of themwill live longer than before.Computers will be much smaller and more useful,and there will be at least one in every home.And computer studies will be one of the most important subjects in schools. 　　People will work fewer hours than they did in the 20th century,and they will have more free timefor sports,watching TV and traveling.Traveling will be much cheaper and easier.And more people will go to other countries for holidays. 　　There will be changes in our food,too.More land will be used for buildings,new towns and houses.Then there will be less room for cows and sheep,so meat will be more expensive.Maybe no one will eat it every day.Instead,they eat more vegetables and fruit.Maybe people will be healthier. Work in the future will be different,too.Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots.Because of this,many people will not have enough work to do.This will be a new problem.

In the above illustration we see a young man with the top of his head flipped, into which he is placing books. The man is carrying an oxygen tank with the word ‘courage" written on it. He also carries a large adventure"s backpack. He is dressed in exercise clothes as he climbs over a mysterious, sandy landscape. He shirt has a ‘V" on it .which symbolizes victory. 高考试卷　　This illustration symbolizes the three key factors that are necessary to have if one wants to be a successful person. Placing books into one"s mind symbolizes the acquisition of knowledge, which is the first necessary quality. The backpack and the clothing suggest that one must be physically fit and healthy if one wants to gain success. Of course ,there is also the tank which means that one should muster up courage . By combining these three ideas we can conclude the images symbolic meaning as ‘to be a successful person, one must have knowledge, strength and courage." 高考试卷 　　There three factors are definitely necessary if one hopes to gain success in life. Accumulated wisdom is necessary to out-think one"s opponents. Being physically fit is necessary to out-last one"s opponent. Finally,courage is necessary if one hopes to venture into areas that his opponents fear to tread. With these three attributes, a person can achieve all of his goals.

Life in the 21st Century is very interesting. In the new century we will lead an exciting life. For example, we can do some shopping on the Internet instead of shops. In this way ,we neednot worry about the crowded shopping mall. And, students will use computers in class. They can send homework to their teachers by e-mail. Besides everybody can use the Internet to chat with others , although they are in different countries. Computers and Internet make our life interesting and exciting.

in the 21st century in the 1990s =in the 1990"s.

Two factors drive this global marketplace. First, many manufactured products have one or more foreign components. Ford cars and IBM computers are just two examples of this. Second, more than half of all imports and exports, which governments label foreign trade, are transacted between domestic companies and their foreign affiliates. The increasing globalization of the marketplace is forcing companies to pay more attention to international developments. Domestic firms are adjusting their structures and methods of operation to fit a broader and rapidly changing economic environment. They are increasing their geographic outreach because more of their suppliers and customers are located on various continents. For example, last year Johnson and Johnson sold more products outside the United States than in the United States. Hewlett Packard, like many companies, lost money when the Asian economy collapsed. Joint ventures are no longer just theoretical possibilities. Mergers and acquisitions, like Chrysler/Daimler Benz and MCI and British Telecom, increasingly cross national boundaries. This trend is expected to continue into the next millennium. This internationalization is illustrated in three ways. First, companies change their basic goals to conform to a global marketplace. Second, they adapt their products to local markets. But most importantly, they do not set up international bureaucracies; instead, they hire foreign nationals who understand the local markets. Why discuss economics with the English language? Because the English language is closely associated with this economic modernization and industrial development. Information is sent and received at increasing speed. The competitive demands of governments, industries, and corporations, both national and multinational, for technological progress require an understanding of the language of that technology English. The global spread of English over the last 40 years is remarkable. It is unprecedented in several ways: by the increasing number of users of the language; by its depth of penetration into societies; by its range of functions. Worldwide over 1.4 billion people live in countries where English has official status. One out of five of the world"s population speaks English with some degree of competence. And by 2000 one in five over one billion people will also be learning English. Over 70% of the world"s scientists read English. About 85% of the world"s mail is written in English. And 90% of all information in the world"s electronic retrieval systems is stored in English. By 2010, the number of people who speak English as a second or foreign language will exceed the number of native speakers. This trend will certainly affect the language. English is used for more purposes than ever before. Vocabularies, grammatical forms, and ways of speaking and writing have emerged influenced by technological and scientific developments, economics and management, literature and entertainment genres. What began some 1,500 years ago as a rude language, originally spoken by obscure Germanic tribes who invaded England,now encompasses the globe. When Mexican pilots land their airplanes in France, they and the ground controllers use English. When German physicists want to alert the international scientific community to new discoveries, they first publish their findings in English. When Japanese executives conduct business with Scandinavian entrepreneurs, they negotiate in English. When pop singers write their songs, they often use lyrics or phrases in English. When demonstrators want to alert the world to their problems, they display signs in English. Three factors continue to contribute to this spread of English: English usage in science, technology and commerce; the ability to incorporate vocabulary from other languages; and the acceptability of various English dialects. In science, English replaced German after World War II. With this technical and scientific dominance came the beginning of overall linguistic dominance, first in Europe and then globally. Today, the information age has replaced the industrial age and has compressed time and distance. This is transforming world economies from industrial production to information-based goods and services. Ignoring geography and borders, the information revolution is redefining our world. In less than 20 years, information processing, once limited to the printed word, has given way to computers and the Internet. Computer-mediated communication is closing the gap between spoken and written English. It encourages more informal conversational language and a tolerance for diversity and individual style, and has resulted in Internet English replacing the authority of language institutes and practices. English, like many languages, uses a phonetic alphabet and fairly basic syntax. But most importantly, it has a large and extensive vocabulary, of which about 80% is foreign. Therefore, it has cognates from virtually every language in Europe and has borrowed and continues to borrow words from Spanish and French, Hebrew and Arabic, Hindi-Urdu and Bengali, Malay and Chinese, as well as languages from West Africa and Polynesia. This language characteristic makes it unique in history. Finally, no English language central authority guards the purity of the language, therefore, many dialects have developed: American, British, Canadian, Indian, and Australian, to name a few. There is no standard pronunciation. But within this diversity is a unity of grammar and one set of core vocabulary. Thus, each country that speaks the language can inject aspects of its own culture into the usage and vocabulary. However, the future is unpredictable. As David Crystal (1997) commented, there has never been a language so widely spread or spoken by so many people as English. So, there are no precedents to help us predict what happens to a language when it achieves genuine world status. The world is in transition, and the English language will take new forms. The language and how it is used will change, reflecting patterns of contact with other languages and the changing communication needs of people. English is divesting itself of its political and cultural connotations as more people realize that English is not the property of only a few countries. Instead, it is a vehicle that is used globally and will lead to more opportunities. It belongs to whoever uses it for whatever purpose or need. One question that arises about the future role of the English language is whether a single world standard English will develop. This could result in a supranational variety that all people would have to learn. The widespread use of English as a language of wider communication will continue to exert pressure toward global uniformity. This could result in declining standards, language changes, and the loss of geolinguistic diversity. On the other hand, because English is the vehicle for international communication and because it forms the basis for constructing cultural identities, many local varieties could instead develop. This trend may lead to fragmentation of the language and threaten the role of English as a lingua franca. However, there have always been major differences between varieties of English. There is no reason to believe that any one other language will appear within the next 50 years to replace English. However, it is possible that English will not keep its monopoly in the 21st century. Rather, a small number of languages may form an oligopoly each with a special area of influence. For example, Spanish is rising because of expanding trade and the increase of the Latino population in the United States. This could create a bilingual English-Spanish region. A language shift, in which individuals change their linguistic allegiances, is another possibility. These shifts are slow and difficult to predict. But within the next 50 years, substantial language shifts could occur as economic development affects more countries. Because of these shifts in allegiance, more languages may disappear. Those remaining will rapidly get more native speakers. This includes English. Internal migration and urbanization may restructure areas, thereby creating communities where English becomes the language of interethnic communication neutral language. Universities using English as the medium of instruction will expand and rapidly create a generation of middle-class professionals. Economic development will only increase the middle class, a group that is more likely to learn and use English in jobs. While languages such as English, German, and French have been international languages because of their governments" political powers, this is less likely to be the case in the 21st century where economics and demographics will have more influence on languages. English has been an international language for only 50 years. If the pattern follows the previous language trends, we still have about 100 years before a new language dominates the world. However, this does not mean that English is replacing or will replace other languages as many fear. Instead, it may supplement or co-exist with languages by allowing strangers to communicate across linguistic boundaries. It may become one tool that opens windows to the world, unlocks doors to opportunities, and expands our minds to new ideas. 世界在社会、经济、和人口统计学转变的各种不同阶段中。 经济上地而且政治地，世界在过去几年内已经更快速改变超过自从 1945 以后随时. 初现的全球经济是既竞争的且相互依赖的。 它在世界的大多数地方中反映现代沟通和生产技术的有效。 因此, 我们需要在 21 世纪内关心英文语言的未来吗? 依照经济学者 (1996) 二个因素驾驶这个全球的市场。 首先，许多制造品有一或更多的外国成份。 福特汽车和 IBM 计算机只是这二个例子。 其次, 非常一半输入而且输出, 哪一个政府标签国际贸易, 在国内的公司和他们的外国加入者之间被办理。 市场的逐渐增加全球化正在强迫公司对国际的发展给予较多的注意。 国内的公司正在调整他们的操作的结构和方法适合一比较宽广的而且快速地变更经济的环境。 因为他们的供应者的更多和客户位于各种不同的大陆之上，所以他们正在增加他们的地理外展。 举例来说，去年詹森和詹森在美国以外卖了较多的产品超过在美国 合资是不再正直的理论上的可能性。 合并和获得, 像克莱斯勒/戴姆勒宾士汽车和英国电讯, 逐渐地越过国界。 这一个趋势被期望进入下个一千年之内继续。 这国际化在三个方法中被举例。 首先，公司改变他们的基本目标遵照一全球的 市场。 其次，他们使他们的产品配合当地的市场。 但是最重要地，他们不建立国际的官僚; 相反的，他们雇请了解当地的市场的外国的国民 为什么与英文语言讨论经济学? 因为英文语言接近地与这经济的现代化和工业的发展有关。 数据被送而且被以逐渐增加的速度收到。 政府、工业和公司的竞争要求，国民和跨国公司,为科技的进步需要那技术的语言的理解英语。 在过去 40 年上的英语的全球传布是显着的。 它在某些方面是空前的: 被语言的使用者的逐渐增加数字; 被它的渗透的深度进入社会之内; 被它的功能的范围。 在全世界超过十四亿个人住在英语有官方的状态的国家。 五中的一世界的 人口用某一程度的胜任说英语。 而且二千零一在五个超过十亿个人中也将会学习英语。 超过 70% 的世界"s 科学家读英语。 大约 85% 的世界邮件以英语写成。 而且在世界上的 90% 所有的数据电子的取回系统被以英语储存。2010 之前，当做秒或者外国语说英语的人数将会超过说母语者的数字。 这一个趋势将会无疑地影响语言 英语作为远比以往要多的目的。 说而且写的字汇，文法的表格和方法已经出现被科技而科学发展、经济学和管理、文学和娱乐类型影响。什么当一种粗鲁无礼的语言,本来被侵入了英国的微暗德国的种族讲, 现在包含地球， 1,500 年前开始 当墨西哥的飞行员以法国、他们和土地的控制器使用英国人登陆他们的飞机的时候。 当德国物理学者想要提醒对新的发现国际的科学社区的时候，他们首先以英语出版他们的调查结果。 当日本主管和北欧企业家处理生意的时候，他们以英语商议。 当取出歌手写他们的歌的时候，他们时常以英语使用抒情诗或片语。 当示范者想要提醒的时候 对他们的问题的世界, 他们以英语显示告示。 三个因素继续成为英语的这传布的因素: 科学、技术和商业的英文用法; 能力合并来自其他的语言的字汇; 而且各种不同英文方言的可接受。 在科学中，英语代替了第二次世界大战后的德语。 与这个技术上而科学的支配来了全部语言学支配的开始, 在欧洲的第一然后全球性地。 今天，数据年龄已经代替工业的年龄而且已经压缩时间和距离。 这正在转换从工业的生产到以数据为基础的货物和服务的世界经济。 不理睬地理学和边缘,资讯革命正在重新定义我们的世界。 在少于 20 年中, 数据处理, 一旦限制在印刷的字, 已经给 到计算机和英特网的路。 计算机斡旋的沟通是关闭那缝隙在口语的之间和书面的英语。 它为不同和个体风格鼓励更非正式的会话语言和宽容, 而且已经造成更换语言的权威学会和练习的英特网英语。 英语,喜欢许多语言, 使用一个语言的字母和非常基本的语法。 但是最重要地，它有一个大而广泛的字汇,哪些大约 80% 是外国的。 因此, 它有同族的从事实上每种语言在欧洲而且已经借而且继续借来自西班牙语和法国人、希伯来人和阿拉伯语的话, 北印度语和孟加拉人、马来和华语、连同来自非洲西部和玻里尼西亚的语言。 这语言特性在历史中使它独特 最后，没有英文语言中央的权威保卫语言的纯净,因此,许多方言已经发展:美国、英国、以及加拿大、印度、和澳洲的, 命名一些。 没有标准的发音。 但是在这不同里面是文法和一组核心字汇的个体。 因此, 说语言能注射它自己文化的方面进入用法和字汇的每个国家。 然而，未来是不可预知的。 当大卫水晶 (1997) 批评了, 如此广泛不曾有一种语言传布或被作为英语的如此许多人讲。 因此, 没有先例要帮助我们预测发生在一种语言上什么事当它达成真正的世界状态的时候。 世界在转变中，而且英文语言将会拿新的表格。 语言和它如何被用将会改变 用其他的语言和人的变更沟通需要反映连络的式样。 当较多的人了解英国人不是只有一些国家的特性的时候，英语正在它的政治上而文化含蓄剥除它本身。 相反的，它是一辆被全球性地用的车辆而且将会导致较多的机会。 它属于任何人使用它作为每个目的哪一或需要。 一个发生有关英文语言的将来角色的事的疑问是否世界 这可以造成超国家的多样性所有的人会必须获悉。 作为一种较宽的沟通的语言英语的广大使用将会继续施加向全球的同样压力。 这可以造成倾斜的标准，语言变化不同的损失。 另一方面，因为英语是国际的沟通车辆而且因为它形成基础 构造文化认同感,许多当地的多样性可以改为发展。 这一个趋势可能导致语言的分裂而且威胁作为舌的英语的角色。 然而，已经总是有在英语的多样性之间的主要不同。 没有理由要相信任何的其他语言将会在未来的 50 年之内出现代替英语。 然而是可能的是，英国人在 21 世纪内将不保存它的垅断。 然而，少数的语言可能形成对一个影响力的特别区域感到每个的一个求过于供的市场情况。 举例来说，西班牙语正在因为在美国扩张贸易和拉丁美洲人的增加人口升起。 这可以产生一个双语的英西班牙人区域 个体改变他们的语言学忠贞的语言变化,是另外的一种可能性。 这些变化慢而困难预测。 但是在未来的 50 年之内，可观的语言变化可以发生如经济的发展 影响较多的国家。 因为忠贞的这些变化，较多的语言可能消失。 正在保持的人们将会快速地争取较多的说母语者。 这包括英语。 内在的移民和都市化可能更改结构区域,藉此创造英语变成 沟通梐的语言中立的语言的社区 以英语作为指导的媒体的大学将会扩张而且快速地产生中产阶级专业人士的世代。 经济的发展只将会增加中产阶级，一个更可能在工作中学习而且使用英语的团体 因为他们政府的政治权力语言，像是英语，德语和法语已经是国际的语言，不过这比较不有可能在 21 世纪内是情形哪里经济学和人口统计学的将会对语言有较多的影响力。 英国人已经是一种国际的语言有只有 50 年之久。 如果式样跟随早先的语言趋势, 我们在一种新的语言前大约 100 年仍然有支配世界。 然而，这不意指英国人正在更换或者将会代替其他的语言和恐惧一样多的相反的，它可能补充，否则共藉由让陌生人以语言存在整个语言学边界沟通。它可能变成一个对世界开放窗户,开启对机会的门, 而且把我们的思想扩张到的工具

21st century：twenty first century

A 试题分析：考查时态语态：句意是：21世纪的最后十年见证中国在各个领域的快速稳定的发展。时间隐含在上下文之间，就是21世纪的最后十年，用过去时，也是主动。选A。点评：时态的考查要放在上下文中进行，要抓住句子的关键词，这题的关键词就是The last decade of the 21st century，还要注意被动语态。

在21世纪是一个大的时间范围,所以用in,如果一个时间点用at,特指某个时间有时候用on
