A year ago,I paid no attention to English idioms,though my teacher stressed the importance again and again.But soon,the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day,I happened to meet an Englishman on the road,and soon we began to talk.As I was talking about how I was studying English,the foreigner seemed to be astonished.Gently shaking his head,shrugging his shoulders,he said,“You don’t say!”“You don’t say!” I was puzzled.I thought,perhaps this is not an appropriate topic.“Well,I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him,“Well,shall we talk about the Great Wall By the way,have you ever been there ”
“Certainly,everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it.It is magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide,“The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world.We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words,“You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking,“Why do you ask me not to talk about it ”
“Well,I didn’t request you to do so,” he answered,greatly surprised.I said,“Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say!’ ” Hearing this,the Englishman laughed to tears.He began to explain,“‘You don’t say!’ actually means ‘Really!’ It is an expression of surprise.Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.”
Only then did I realize I had made a fool of myself.Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.

Eleven of the world’s languages have at least 100 million native speakers.The biggest are Mandarin Chinese,English,Spanish,Arabic and Hindi.Next come Portuguese,Bengali,Russian,Japanese,French and German.Experts says these eleven languages are the mother tongues of half the world’s population.But the world has close to seven thousand languages.Linguists predict that as many as half of these may be at risk of disappearing by the end of this century.That would mean another language dies every two weeks.
Members of the Siletz Indian tribe (部落) in the northwestern state of Oregon take pride in their language.Their language,they say,“is as old as time itself.” But today very few people can speak it fluently.In fact,you can count the number of fluent speakers on one hand.
More than 10,000 entries can be found in the Siletz Online Talking Dictionary.Professor Harrison has posted talking dictionaries for seven other highly endangered languages from around the world.He says technology can not only spread the influence of major languages but also help save endangered ones.Smartphone apps,YouTube videos and Meta pages have all become digital tools for language activists and experts.
Mr Harrison and a researcher in Oregon have mapped areas of endangered languages.One is the Pacific Northwest in the United States.Others include the upper Amazon basin,Siberia and northern Australia.
In Canada’s far north,the Inuit people are struggling to preserve their native language,Inuktitut.Part of the effort involves (涉及) Microsoft.The company is translating terms in its Windows operating system and Office software into Inuktitut.
Nowadays so many people will spend their entire day sitting in front of a computer.If you’re sitting in front of your computer in English all day,that just reinforces (强化) English.If you’re now using Inuktitut,it is reinforcing that this is your language.Microsoft has also worked with language activists in New Zealand,Spain and Wales to translate its software into Maori,Basque,Catalan and Welsh.
8.Why are the people of the Siletz India tribe proud of their language
A.It’s easily mastered.
B.It’s widely spoken nowadays.
C.It has a long history.
D.It deserves scientific research.
9.What does Harrison think of technology according to paragraph 3
A.It changes the way young people learn a language.
B.It makes learning a language a fashionable thing.
C.It makes it possible to master a language quickly.
D.It helps protect the endangered languages.
10.Why does Microsoft translate its software into Inuktitut
A.To make Inuktitut spoken worldwide.
B.To learn other languages conveniently.
C.To help spread the use of Microsoft software.
D.To strengthen the use of Inuktitut.
11.What is the text mainly about
A.The effects of modern technology on languages.
B.Efforts made to save languages in danger of dying.
C.Some languages having the most speakers worldwide.
D.The contribution Harrison made to the Siletz Indian tribe.
D
“I like your smile,but dislike you put your shoes on my face”,a charming way of saying “Keep off the grass”.But could you figure it out Or this:“Wash Clothing Store” for laundry.
They are both typical Chinglish,a combination of English vocabulary and Chinese grammar.Expressions such as “people mountain people sea”,means extremely crowded,and “give you some color to see see”,meaning a punishment,are widely known and recognised.
Chinglish has been attracting global attention in recent years as China grows rapidly in status on the world stage,attracting both fans and detractors (诽谤者).
The Beijing Speaks Foreign Languages Programme and English First China Company,a language trainer known as EF Education,jointly launched a campaign to root out poor grammar and misused vocabulary in downtown Beijing.They argue Chinglish is an embarrassment that we should let it die out at all costs.
“It is meaningful to allow the capital to show its most beautiful historical and cultural heritage to the world.” said Michael Lu,vice-president of EF Education.He believed signs were very important in public services.“The signs in some old buildings confused foreign visitors.”
Chinglish,although the target of much criticism,has also won supporters who regard it as an interesting way for foreigners to learn how Chinese people think and express themselves.
“Many Chinglish logos carry Chinese elements and they will enrich the English language,” 32-year-old Oliver Radtke said.He had even published a book “Chinglish:Found in Translation,” on the subject,50,000 copies of which have been sold since it was published in 2007.
Some Chinese university experts also side with Chinglish.“English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth,and the emergence (出现) of Chinglish again shows the language’s liveliness and inclusiveness (包容性),”said Shi Anbin,an associate professor of Tsinghua University.
12.Why does the author mention the examples in paragraph 1 and paragraph 2
A.To show the stupid mistakes in Chinglish.
B.To introduce the debated topic about Chinglish.
C.To tell the readers that Chinglish is widely known and recognized.
D.To share the typical Chinglish expressions with the readers.
13.How did Chinglish come into being
A.Chinese people misunderstood the meaning of the new words.
B.Chinese people based their English on the native English speakers.
C.Chinese people combined English vocabulary with Chinese grammar.
D.Chinese people make wide use of English vocabulary with bad spelling.
14.According to Oliver Radtke,Chinglish .
A.shows the Chinese culture
B.shows how Chinese people think
C.does damage to the English language
D.should be showed to all over the world
15.What is Shi Anbin’s attitude towards Chinglish
A.Doubtful. B.Indifferent.
C.Negative. D.Positive.

AvoidMisunderstandingIdioms
An idiom is a phrase or expression whose meaning is not always straightforward or easy to understand. 16 The meaning is that you don’t know who someone is,or what something is by their appearance.It is impossible to be familiar with all idiomatic expressions.You will come across some newer ones that you haven’t heard before.When this happens,here are some ways for you to get an idea about what is being said.
17 This advice applies when you hear some odd phrases in a conversation.You have to consider what the general context is in the conversation,and from there you will be able to make a guess of how the idiomatic expression connects to the conversation.Of course,this requires that you listen actively to the conversation and that your mind is not somewhere else.
Check your understanding.If you want to make sure your understanding is correct,you may want to change the sentence into simple language and ask the person you are talking to if the meaning is correct.It never hurts to try to make something that you have heard in a conversation clearer. 18
Consider the body language of the speaker. 19 If you see that someone has expressive facial expressions and gestures,and that he may be joking,consider this when trying to understand an idiomatic expression.Some of these expressions may not have a good and pleasant meaning if the words are taken literally (字面地).However,if you connect together all other information you are given in the conversation,you will realise that it has a totally different meaning.
20 There’s no better way to become more familiar with idiomatic expressions than to read all different types of resources.For example,you will find a lot of idiomatic expressions in novels.What’s also good about this is that since you are reading it and going at your own pace,you actually have the opportunity to check the meaning by yourself.After that,if you see the same expression in another sentence,you’ll better understand its true meaning.
A.If you don’t ask,you don’t learn.
B.Consider the context of the sentence.
C.Guess the idiom through its literal meaning.
D.Enlarge your knowledge by reading all the time.
E.It is important for English learners to know all idiomatic expressions.
F.Body language can give you hints to help you understand confusing phrases.
G.An example would be when someone says,“You can’t judge a book by its cover.”

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The walls of failure surrounded me.I saw my teacher’s eyes fixed on my every move.My mum’s blank expression betrayed one thing:disappointment.“He is not giving his full potential,” I heard my teacher say.I gazed down,afraid,ashamed,and determined.My determination was not to excel and put my best effort into improvement;my determination told me to give up.
It was my first year in the United States.I was a fifth grader,and everything around me seemed alien.My native language had been Spanish,and after coming to the United States from Puerto Rico because of serious family problems,I just felt like hiding inside my metaphorical shell.The school itself was bright and very welcoming.The bright walls with colored dinosaurs and cartoons were appealing,and the distinct smell of crayons,play dough,and chalks made the place feel like my home.
Then why did I have such a negative attitude It was not because my teachers did not support me;They were willing to stay after school with me to help me learn the concepts.It was not because my classmates did not want me there;Most of them invited me to sit with them at lunch.It was not because I could not talk to anyone;I had a bilingual teacher with me all day,helping me.
My negative attitude was the result of frustration and lack of interest in study.No matter how hard I tried,the mysterious code known as “English” would not take root in my brain.I tried for hours to improve my grammar,pronunciation,and vocabulary,but the unknown language “did not want to be learned”.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

Today we will talk about an expression from the famous book Alice’sAdventuresinWonderland.The book was published in 1865.The story is about a young girl falling,falling,falling...for a long time down a rabbit hole.When she finally lands,she finds herself in a strange world.
In this strange world are some of the most well-known characters in children’s literature.Many of them,and other expressions from the book,have found their way into American English.
The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit.The White Rabbit is not your usual rabbit.First of all,he is wearing a vest and carrying a pocket watch.Running past Alice,he says,“I’m late!I’m late!For a very important date!No time to say hello or goodbye.I’m late,I’m late!I’m late!”
Alice chases after him,and that is where her adventures begin.In English,chasing a white rabbit means to chase the impossible,a dream.The White Rabbit is so strange that Alice cannot help but to follow him.As she chases after him,she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland and begins her mysterious journey.

写作
第一节
Hello,everyone!
I’m glad to share with you about how I learn English.
Firstly,I listen to my teacher carefully and write the important points down on my notebooks.After class I revise the lessons.And before the next class I prepare new lessons to find out the questions.Then I will listen carefully in class.
Besides,I listen to the tape and speak with myself.It’s really good for improving my listening and speaking.
Last but not least,I often read English and magazines to enrich my knowledge on English culture.
I believe,we can learn English well as long as we learn it hard.
That’s all.Thank you.
第二节
Oneafternoon,mymotherwasinformedtoattendaparent-teacherconference.Having learned my sudden lack of interest and that I had just given up,she was not content.In fact,I spent that whole afternoon listening to her telling me why I should struggle.She told me,“You can never achieve your goal unless you put your best effort into it.” That simple statement stuck in my young mind.It “clicked” and inspired me.
Thenextday,IfoundmyselfunderstandingEnglishwordsIhadthoughtIwouldneverknow.A simple change in attitude had made the words slowly go from looking like something alien to actually making sense.My teachers’ welcoming smile,patience,and bright attitude,in addition to my desire to learn,were enough to make a difference.Within days,I found myself starting to communicate with the natives in English fluently.My mother helped me to see where my problems were lying,and learn that success in life requires desire,but desire is not enough.One needs push from someone and he cares to achieve what seems to be impossible.
