【2】F

【3】F

【4】F

【5】T

【解析】

地球上有超过30亿的人口和大约2500种语言。在这些语言中，只有大约12种的使用人口超过5000万人。以下是一些使用非常广泛的语言的名称:汉语、英语、法语、德语、日语等。英语已经成为一种流行的语言。学好英语对我们很有用。

【1】句意：世界上大约有3000种语言。

细节理解题。根据There are more than 3,000 million people on the Earth and about 2,500 languages.可知，地球上大约有2500种语言，不是3000种，题干的说法是错误的，故填F。

【2】句意：德语、汉语和西班牙语在世界上被广泛使用。

细节理解题。根据Here are the names of some languages which have very wide use: Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, etc.可知，被广泛使用的语言是汉语、英语、法语、德语、日语等，没有题干中提到的西班牙语，题干的说法是错误的，故填F。

【3】句意：150年前，只有大约20万人说英语。

细节理解题。根据Hundred and fifty years ago there were only about twenty million people who talked English可知，150年前，只有大约2000万人说英语，不是题干中说的20万人，故填F。

【4】句意：说英语的人最多。

推理判断题。根据Now there are at least two hundred and fifty million, and there may be more people in the future. English has become a popular language.可知，英语已经成为一种流行的语言。现在已有两亿五千万，将来可能会有更多的人。但根据常识可知少于汉语的使用人口，且文章中找不到明确的文本证据显示英语是“使用人口最多的”，因此题干错误。故填F。

【5】句意：我们知道现在说英语的人比以前多得多。

细节理解题。根据Hundred and fifty years ago there were only about twenty million people who talked English, for example. Now there are at least two hundred and fifty million, and there may be more people in the future.可知，150年前，只有大约2000万人说英语，而现在至少有两亿五千万，故说英语的人比以前多得多。填T。

判断正误题在阅读理解中算是比较简单的题目。但是多数考查的都是细节，只有足够仔细，才能把题做对。如1小题中的数字3,000在文中也出现了，但是指的是3,000 million people，如果观察得不仔细，就很难做对。
