Unit 2English around the world .閱讀理解AThe best-known example of outer influence causing language change is the “Americanization” of world culture,which has caused English words to appear all over the world.The effect is most noticeable in pop music.Foreign groups often record in English,and the words are picked up and repeated everywhere,even by children who otherwise have little or no command of the language.I once met a Brazilian child of about ten who could count “one,two,three”,but only by adding the words “oclock,four oclock rock” at the end.Some people are often strongly critical of the influence of English on their languageespecially when an English word replaces a traditional word.In 1977,France passed a law banning the use of English words in official situations if an equivalent (意義相同的) French expression existedbut the law seemed to be honoured more in the breaking than in the observing.Some other countries have considered introducing a similar law despite the evidence that such laws have very little effect,and that the arrival of loan words (外來詞) can greatly enrich a language (as indeed in the case of English itself,which has a long history of welcoming foreign words)However,not everyone is critical.In particular,commercial firms and advertisers are well aware of the potential selling power that the use of English vocabulary can bring.In Japan,English is even used in television commercials,despite the fact that the majority of viewers would not understand exactly what was being said: the excellence implied by the mere use of English is apparently enough to command the strategy to the advertisers.Most of the influence of English is upon the vocabulary of foreign languages,but surveys are slowly bringing to light several cases where word order or word structure has been affected.Sentences of the type “The book sells well”,using an active construction for a passive meaning,have begun to appear in Danish (Bogen soelger godt).Several languages keep the English plural ending when they make use of a loan word,and do not translate it into the native form,e.g.drinks.There are many other such cases.1.Why could the Brazilian child speak “one,two,three” in English?A.Because he had seen these words everywhere in the street.B.Because he had learnt how to tell the time in English.C.Because he had made himself master of English.D.Because he had heard these words in songs a lot.2.What can we infer about the law passed in France in 1977?A.It was strict. B.It was unfair.C.It was often ignored.D.It was strongly opposed.3.Why do some Japanese commercials use English?A.To follow the American trend.B.To become world-famous.C.To enrich Japanese. D.To increase sales.4.How is the last paragraph mainly developed?A.By providing examples. B.By making comparisons.C.By explaining grammar rules.D.By analyzing language change.語篇解讀:本文是議論文。文章討論了英語對其他語言的影響。答案及剖析:1.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的Foreign groups often record in English .but only by adding the words oclock,four oclock rock at the end可知,文中提到的這個巴西小孩可能本身不太會說英語,但是由于含有這些英語數(shù)字的歌曲不斷重復(fù)播放,所以他學(xué)會了說這些數(shù)字。2.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的but the law seemed to be honoured more in the breaking than in the observing及such laws have very little effect可知,人們經(jīng)常不遵守這項(xiàng)法律。3.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的the potential selling power that the use of English vocabulary can bring及the excellence implied by the mere use of English可知,廣告中使用英語能讓人感覺該產(chǎn)品很出色,激發(fā)人們的購買欲。4.A寫作手法題。最后一段中通過“主動結(jié)構(gòu)表達(dá)被動意義”和“保留表示復(fù)數(shù)的詞尾”兩個例子來說明英語對其他語言的語序或結(jié)構(gòu)也有影響。B(2018銀川一中三模)I am astonished at the way God knows when to send a special gift of encouragement at just the right time!It might be in a dream,a lost letter,a memory,or something found that wed forgotten about.My grandmother was from a town in Michigan.And summer after summer I enjoyed staying with my grandparents as a young child.I was from the city and loved the small town where they lived.People knew everyone,their children,their pets,their ancestors.Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting.she would make sandwiches and wed have tea parties,plant flowers and carefully tend them.She loved knitting sweaters as well as making beautiful quilts for her grandchildren.I remember the small thimble (頂針) she would place on her finger while doing her needlework.A few years ago,when Grandma left this earth for her new residence in Heaven,I bid farewell to my loving grandmother.How quickly our lives can change!We had just had tea together a couple of months earlier,on her 91st birthday.I missed her very much,but I noticed it mostly on my birthdays,because there was no card from Grandma.Shed never forgotten my birthday!On one particular birthday when I was feeling a little low,something happened made me feel as if she was sharing that special day with me.I was arranging some colorful pillows that she had made,and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow;it was small and hard.I moved the object to a seam (縫) that I carefully opened,and,to my delight,out came a tiny silver thimble!How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her!Not realizing it had fallen off her finger,I pictured her sewing it into that little pillow that I just happened to fluff (抖松),to place on my bedspread (床罩) that day.I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others Id collected over the years.What a precious memory of a very special lady who,somehow,I knew,was laughing in delight at sewing her thimble into my pillow.I heated the kettle and made some tea,using my best china,as Grandma always did,and then enjoyed my tea and Grandmas thimble.What a wonderful birthday that was!5.In the authors memory,what would her grandmother do?A.She would make sandwiches and hamburgers for her family.B.She would wear a thimble for needlework every day.C.She would make beautiful quilts for money.D.She would look after the flowers in the garden.6.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.The modern worlds fast-changing life.B.The fact that the grandmother had passed away.C.The authors missing her grandmother.D.The love the author got from her grandmother.7.How did the author feel when she found the thimble?A.Surprised.B.Regretful.C.Guilty.D.Lonely.8.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A.Grandmas Thimble B.Grandmas Life StoryC.The Joy of Finding Something LostD.The Importance of Putting Things Away語篇解讀:本文是記敘文,文章講述了作者對姥姥的懷念。作者在過生日的時候情緒低落,無意中發(fā)現(xiàn)了姥姥用過的頂針,感覺很親切。答案及剖析:5.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段可知,姥姥常在園子里種花,并細(xì)心照料它們。6.C代詞指代題。根據(jù)上一句可知,it指代的是“missing her grandmother”。7.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句中的“to my delight,out came a tiny silver thimble”可知,那個發(fā)現(xiàn)對作者來說是個驚喜。8.A主旨大意題。整篇文章圍繞著姥姥的頂針展開敘述,故“Grandmas Thimble”為最佳標(biāo)題。.語法填空Indian English literature 1.

(require) knowledge of Indian culture to be understood. 答案及剖析:1.has考查動詞時態(tài)。此處描述的是一般事實(shí),故用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài),而且主語是單數(shù),故用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)的單數(shù)形式。2.the考查冠詞。in the last few decades是固定短語,在過去的幾十年里。3.have been recognized考查動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。根據(jù)語境可知,印度的這三位作家一直以來得到國際的認(rèn)可和不斷獲獎,應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)。Arundhati Roy等三位作家與recognize為被動關(guān)系,故填現(xiàn)在完成時的被動語態(tài)。4.independence考查名詞。前面有Indias形容詞修飾,故后面應(yīng)該用名詞。5.highest考查最高級。根據(jù)語境可知Amit Chaudhuri獲得了印度文學(xué)最高獎,故用最 高級。 6.it考查代詞。此處為固定句型It is a pity that.意為:真可惜。it為形式主語,指代后面的that從句。7.who/that考查從屬連詞。分析句法可知,此處缺少定語從句連接詞,而且在從句中作主語,代指人,故用who或者that。8.actually考查副詞。修飾整個句子用副詞形式。9.to give考查非謂語動詞。此處用動詞不定式作目的狀語。10.requiring考查非謂語動詞。分析句法可知,此處所填詞是非謂語動詞,而其邏輯主語stories和動詞require構(gòu)成主謂關(guān)系,故用動詞-ing形式。.短文改錯(2018臨朐一中五月第四次模擬)The way of communication in peoples life have changed a lot of in recent years.In the past,people keep in touch with each other mainly by writing letters or use the public telephone.But now almost everyone has an mobile phone.People can communicate with each other almost at any place and at any time.Whats more,people have easy access the Internet,it enables them to send and receive e-mails whenever they like.With these changes,peoples pace of life has been quickened and peoples work has been made more efficiently.It used to take them several days to hear from each other,and now it takes only several minutes,even if we are in two different continents.答案:The way of communication in peoples life changed a lot of in recent years.In the past,people in touch with each other mainly by writing letters or the public telephone.But now almost everyone has mobile phone.People can communicate with each other almost at any place and at any time.Whats more,people have easy access the Internet, enables them to send and receive e-mails whenever they like.With these changes,peoples pace of life has been quickened and peoples work has been made more .It used to take them several days to hear from each other, now it takes only several minutes,even if are in two different continents.剖析:主語是單數(shù),故謂語動詞用has。a lot作副詞,修飾changed,of是多余的。句中有In the past,故應(yīng)該用一般過去時。or連接兩個并列成分,故應(yīng)用using。mobile phone前應(yīng)用不定冠詞a。have access to為固定短語,意為“可進(jìn)入”。which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句。主語補(bǔ)足語應(yīng)用形容詞。上下文之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故用but。上文的人稱用了第三人稱,前后應(yīng)該一致,故用they。7
