Ancient people started with drawing 3 about what they wanted to say, which later on evolved into some languages, after which many other dialects have come into 4 . With over 2,700 different languages and 7,000 dialects 5 all over the world, the world has many different cultures that 6 speak their native dialects.
One such 7 that is even older than the holy book Quran (the finest work in classical Arabic 8 ) is Arabic.

Some English words are made up the same part and have different beginnings and different endings, such as import, export, report and transport. All these words, you can see, have the same "port”, which come from the Latin word, meaning "to carry" or "to move" from one place to another. And according the bit at the beginning, which we call the prefix，the meaning changes "Import" means "to carry in" or "to bring into a country”； "export", "ex" means "out of", so this word means "to carry out of the country"；"re" means "back", so the "report" means "to tell somebody, to bring back information to somebody”； "transport", "trans" means "across" and it means "to carry across one place to another".
Let's look at the following words: supporter, reporter, importer and exporter. You can see that in this case，these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs plus a suffix,thus meaning a person who completes the verb.So supporter means somebody who supports. A reporter is somebody who reports. Importer is somebody who imports and exporter is somebody who exports, and so on.
1.In the first sentence the underlined word "part" means " " .
A. different beginnings and different endings
B.the same part that has several meanings
C.the root of the word
D.the same root that has different meanings

A. the meaning of a Latin word

D.a lot of meanings
3.We can get a noun .
A. just by adding "er" to verbs
B.by changing a prefix

Unlike some other European languages, English is a little tricky when it comes to writing. How a word1 (pronounce) and how it is actually spelt can be very different things. Take two simple 2 (verb) like "have" and"save"—shouldn't they be pronounced the same Why do "sir" "her" and "fur" all rhyme, but "fork" and "work" don’t
Imagine, then, a situation 3 two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way, but have 4 (complete) different meanings. Welcome to the world of homonyms (同形同音异义词). 5 (take), for example, the word "fair"—it can be a kind of festival or an adjective to describe the color of your hair.
So how do you know which 6 (mean) someone is referring to —You don't, except by the context. Obviously, if someone asks you to "give them a hand", they don’t want you to remove 7 is at the end of your arm.
Sometimes even the context doesn't help much—the result can be 8 (amuse). These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun.
I used to be a banker, 9 I lost interest.
A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital. When his grandmother phoned 10 (ask) how he was, the nurse said, "No change yet".

A
Today, we complete our story about the influential English writer William Shakespeare. He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, which remain very popular today.
During earlier times, people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays. It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works. For example, in Shakespeare's play The Comedy oj Errors Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus. For his play Macbeth, Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information. Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers, but the intensity of his imagination and language made the plays his own. While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten, Shakespeare and his art live on.
Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him. He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays. His works include observations about political struggles, the fear of diseases, and the popular language of the city's tradesmen. Shakespeare’s knowledge of the English countryside is also clear. His works include descriptions of deep forests, local flowers, and the ancient popular traditions of rural people.
It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare's works have influenced the world culture. But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language. During his time, the English language was changing. Many new words from other languages were being added. Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones. For example, he created the noun forms of "critic", “mountaineer" and "eyeball". Many common expressions in English come from his plays, including “pomp and circumstance （装腔作势）” from Othello, “full circle （绕圈子地）” from King Lear, etc. The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless. From paintings to television to music and dance, Shakespeare was well represented. Shakespeare's plays have been translated into every major language in the world.
Shakespeare became a well-known writer during a golden age of theater. His years of hard work paid off.
1.What can we infer from the passage
A. Many of Shakespeare's works were influenced by earlier writings.
B.Shakespeare was hard-working when he was a student.
C.The experience of living in London helped a lot with Shakespeare's works.
D.Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works.
2.Why could Shakespeare's works survive his time
A. Because there were so few people writing plays in his time.
B.Because he produced too many works that nobody else could do.
C.Because he was a rich and influential person of his time.
D.Because his works were rich in imagination and language.
3.Shakespeare's greatest influence should be on .
A. the English language B. paintings
C. television D. music and dance
4. The passage is mainly about .
A. an introduction to Shakespeare's life and his works
B.the main features and styles of Shakespeare's plays
C.how ancient culture influenced Shakespeare and he influenced culture
D.Shakespeare's greatest influence on the world culture

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world's books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary—perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let's face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweetmeats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes（矛盾），we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don't fing grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth One goose, two geese—so one moose, two meese
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human beings. That's why, when stars are out, they are visible；but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
5 . Which of the following is the correct plural
A. Beeth. B. Geese.
C. Meese. D. Tooth.
6. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning
A. A wise man and a wise guy.
B.Overlook and oversee.
C.Quite a lot and quite a few.
D.Hot as hell and cold as hell.
7. The underlined words "wind up" in the last paragraph probably mean .
A. blow B. roll up
C. get hurt D. finish

When learning a foreign language, one should first pay attention to speaking. It is the groundwork of reading and writing. You'd better try your best to speak. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. While you are doing this, a good exercise is to write—keep a diary, write notes or letters and so on. Many mistakes in your speaking will be easily found when you write. Through correcting the mistakes, you can do better in learning a language. If you are slow in speaking, don't worry. One of the helpful ways is reading either aloud or to yourself. The important thing is to choose something interesting to read. It mustn't be difficult for you. When you are reading in this way, don't stop to look up the words if you can guess their meanings or if they are not important to the sentence. You can do that at some other time.
8.When learning English we should learn to speak first because .
A.it's the basic work of reading and writing
B.it plays the most important part in reading and writing
C.speaking is the most important part in language study
D.speaking can help us to listen better
9.When one is slow in speaking, he should .
A.read more carefully
B.do more reading
C.learn to listen
D. read something difficult
10.The best way to find mistakes in learning a foreign language is to .
A. keep a diary, write notes or letters and so on
B.try your best to speak as fast as possible
C.pay attention to speaking
D.practise talking with others
11.The best title of the passage should be .
A. How to learn a foreign language
B.Listening, speaking, reading and writing
C.The importance of speaking

I'm an English self-learner; English is not my first language. Today I am an English teacher. I would like to voice that failures are not disasters. Have faith, keep moving on, and never give up, you will see your hard work pay off.
I was a slow learner when I was little. Before five, I couldn't even speak in full sentences. Unlike most other children, I seldom interacted with others; I neither cried nor got angry. My extreme quietness made my parents wonder if I was mentally slow, but they were not sure. Actually, I have to admit that my memories of my early childhood are quite uncertain.
When I was in elementary school, I learned very slowly and was as quiet as a doll. While my teacher was teaching, my mind oftentimes would wander outside of the classroom to the playground. The learning problems and inactive personality remained with me until I was in Grade 5. As a fifth grader, I finally started interacting with my classmates. That was the first time in my memory that I had some friends. More amazingly, from that time on, I became talkative, laughing and playing like any normal child.
After heading full speed for my junior high education, my learning situation got stuck in the mud again. In my country, students were arranged into different levels of classes based on their IQ test scores. For example, students with higher IQ scores were placed in the "outstanding class"； average ones joined the "intermediate class”, and slower students were destined for the "bottom class". I was placed in the "bottom class" as a result of my below-average IQ score. Most of my teachers taught us using easy and slow methods because they considered us unable to learn much. Despite that, I never lost faith that I might succeed one day. As if to prove that when God closes a door, he will definitely open up a big window. A miracle occurred. That’s when I discovered a strong passion for English.

Paragraph 1：
At the age 13,1 found myself deeply interested in English. Besides reading English textbooks, I made a habit of reading English magazines, listening to English programmes, and keeping an English diary. Moreover, I summarized almost every story in books or magazines to improve my writing skills. In order to strengthen my English speaking ability, I oftentimes told myself those stories in English. I also wrote down unfamiliar words or phrases in notebooks and frequently reviewed them.
Paragraph 2：
That way, I could further expand my vocabulary. I kept learning, and realised that no matter how hard or how unfair my situation was, I could choose to move on, rather than give up. After college, I continued to pursue further education in America. "Where there is a will, there is a way.” Now when I look back, it can be said a miracle that the one who once was placed in the "bottom class” become an English teacher.Unit5 Languages around the world sectionⅣ

To me, accents reflect the attitudes, characteristics and lifestyles of the people.

From watching English actors like Daniel Radcliffe, my friends and I have developed a soft spot for British men. Some are attracted to the qualities of English males, while others admire their sense of style.
Everyone, however, agrees that the most appealing aspect of an English man is his accent. For example, many American girls watch Harry Potter movies over and over again just to listen to the actors speak.

At present, English is frequently spoken as an official or common language in many countries, such as America, Singapore, Malaysia and some African countries. All based on British English, the English spoken in these countries can be well understood by native English speakers. But actually, these Englishes have been gradually changing in accents, spellings, expressions and the usage of vocabulary.
Because of this fact, some immigrants from non-English countries can't adapt themselves to the English culture, including students1 language learning Li Yang, a 15-year-old boy from China, had great trouble in learning English. And his parents often blamed him about this. Feeling down enough, Li Yang even came about to the idea of dropping out of school, and what’s more, leaving home.
Hiding behind the loose dusty curtain, Li Yang packed up his overcoat into the suitcase. He planned to leave home at dusk though there was thunder and lightning outdoors. He had got to do this because he was tired of his parents’ nagging about his English study and did not want to go through it any longer. He couldn't get along well with English and disliked joining in English classes because he thought his teacher ignored him on purpose. As a result, his score in each exam never added up to over 60.
His partner was concerned about him very much. She understood exactly what he was suffering from, but entirely disagreed with his idea. In order to calm him down and settle his problem, she talked with him face to face and swapped a series of learning tips with him. The items she set down helped him find the highway to studying English well.
The teenager was grateful and got great power from his friend's words. Now he has recovered from being upset and has fallen in love with English.

Seeking Advice on English Study
As a senior high student, I have some trouble in learning English as well as my classmates. Sometimes I am so puzzled that I just want to give up. First of all, I've got no interest in English. Also, I can't remember the English words straight in my mind. Moreover, being afraid of making mistakes, I rarely participated in group discussions.
What’s worse, when I read English, I am often trapped in the unknown words which prevents me from receiving the main information. In writing, I'm always not able to find the proper words or sentences to express my thoughts. Just imagine what the result of my English learning is!
These problems have worried me a lot since I entered senior high. What should I do I will be grateful to get any help from whoever you are.
