摘要纵观全球，语言学习出现了两股热潮——“英语热”和“汉语热”。随着中国经济的快速发展和综合国力的增强，中国的国际地位、国际影响力也随之不断提高，从而使得世界各地逐渐兴起了一股学习汉语的热潮，近年来，这股浪潮更是势不可挡。而在中国恰好相反，人们更热衷于学习英语，特别是在加入世界贸易组织（WTO）、申请举办奥林匹克运动会和举办世界博览会成功后，中国掀起了一股全民学习英语的热潮，但对于自己的母语——汉语，却冷眼相待。本文通过分析中国的 “英语热”和海外的“汉语热”形成的原因以及中国高考英语改革对人们学习英语和汉语的热情的影响，来探究高考英语改革这一语言政策能否给中国学习英语的热潮降温，让国人对学习英语的态度回归理性，并提高他们学习汉语的热情。从而扭转汉语“外热内冷”的局面，让国人更加理性地学习英语,更加重视自己母语的学习。45155
