Unit 5 Languages around the world单元测试
一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）
A
This short list of the best rock festivals in the world is limited to those that feature primarily mainstream (主流) and hard rock bands. Many great festivals weren't primarily rock shows, so they didn't make the cut. With that in mind, here are a few top rock festivals you need to put on your list.
Austin City Limits Music Festival
Tied to the popular PBS music series "Austin City Limits", the Austin City Limits Music Festival attracts rock fans who enjoy acts in the mainstream. It usually (but not always) runs during a weekend in September and takes place in Zilker Park in Austin, Texas. Check the website for the dates before you plan your trip.
Download Festival
The Download Festival happens every June over one weekend at Donington Park in Leicestershire, U.K. There are a ton of bands playing on different stages during the three-day event, so it's important to map out your route in advance.
Reading Festival
Held in Reading, U.K., the Reading Festival takes place over the last weekend in August. In 1992, from man Kurt Cobain was taken to the stage in a wheelchair. It became one of the most special and famous moments in the history of the Reading Festival. But that led to a rumor (传闻) that Kurt Cobain was terribly addicted (上瘾的) to drugs and was in poor health.
Rock on the Range
Rock on the Range brigs together hard rock and metal bands every May to Columbus, Ohio, for a weekend festival. Hinder, Stone Temple Pilots and Alice in Chains are some of the big names that have played at Rock on the Range. Soundgarden and Metallica were on the schedule for 2017.
What are we advised to do before going to the Austin City Limits Music Festival
A. Check the route.
B. Make sure of the time.
C. Know about the performers.
D. Make a list of our favorite songs.
What made the Reading Festival special in 1992
A. Kurt Cobain's rumor.
B. The unusual design of the stage.
C. Kurt Cobain's appearance.
D. The special performances of the players.
The passage is meant to _____.
A. introduce some famous rock bands
B. list several best rock music festivals
C. tell readers about some festivals about reading
D. provide readers with a few places to get relaxed
B
There is an old saying that America and Britain are "two nations divided by a common language". No one knows exactly who said this, but it reflects the way many Brits feel about American English. But are American and British Englishes really so different
Vocabulary
The most obvious difference between American and British Englishes is vocabulary. There are hundreds of everyday words that are different. For example, Americans go on vacations while Brits go on holidays; New Yorkers live in apartments while Londoners live in flats. There are far more examples than we can talk about here. Fortunately, most Americans and Brits can usually guess the meaning through the context of a sentence.
Past tense verbs
You’ll also find some differences in past forms of irregular verbs. The past tense of "learn" in American English is "learned". British English has the option of "learned" or "learnt". The same rule applies to "dreamed" and "dreamt", "burned" and "burnt", and "leaned" and "leant". Americans tend to use the -ed ending; Brits tend to use the -t ending.
Spelling
There are hundreds of slight spelling differences between British and American Englishes. Noah Webster, an author, politician and teacher, made an effort to reform English spelling in the late 1700s.
Webster wanted to spell words the way they sounded. You can see Webster s legacy (遗产) in the American spelling of words like color (from colour), honor (from honour), and labor (from labour).
Not so different after all
British and American Englishes have far more similarities than differences. With the exception of some regional dialects, most Brits and Americans can understand each other without too much difficulty. They watch each other’s TV shows, sing each other’s songs and read each other’s books. They even make fun of each other’s accents.
Which of the following is a group of American words
A. Vacation; holiday. B. Apartment; flat.
C. Vacation; apartment. D. Holiday; flat.
The underlined word "option" in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by "________".
A. choice B. change C. structure D. use
What do we know about British and American Englishes from the last paragraph
A. They both have some strange words.
B. They are affecting people using them.
C. They connect people of the two countries.
D. Their differences have little effect on communication.
What can be the best title for the text
A. Ways to tell British English from American English
B. The differences between British and American Englishes
C. The development of British and American Englishes
D. The difficulty for Brits and Americans to understand each other
C
Buttons are found on all sorts of clothing. They are usually small and round, and made of metal or plastic. They fasten or connect one piece of clothing to another. They make sure your clothes don't fall off. When.we are speaking or writing in English, buttons can be just as useful.
Men or women often wear button-down clothes to the office. Button-down as an adjective means to be conservative (保守的) or traditional. People who are described as button-down stay close to the normal way of dressing and behaving. They don't wear crazy clothing or do unusual things. People and events can both be described as button-down.
If someone is buttoned-up, he or she seems very businesslike. In personal relationships, buttoned-up people physically and emotionally keep away from others. They are not warm or friendly and they do not share their inner thoughts and feelings with others.
In the expression "button up", button is a verb. It means to stop talking. Now, let's say you find yourself buttonholed in a conversation at a party. The person just keeps talking and talking! Finally, you can't stand it any longer. You tell the person to button it! This is a direct, but unacceptable way of saying "stop talking". Button your lips is another equally rude but effective way to stop a person who talks too much.
Another kind of difficult person is someone who pushes your buttons. To push someone's buttons means to know exactly how to get that person angry or upset. People who like to push others' buttons usually do it for selfish reasons. First they find a person's weak point, and then they use it to upset him.
Which word best describes button-down clothes
A. Comfortable. B. Attractive. C. Formal. D. Loose.
The underlined part "button it" in Paragraph 4 probably means "______".
A. shut up B. calm down C. turn away D. cheer up
What does a person want to do if he pushes your buttons
A. Offer to help you out. B. Try to make you upset.
C. Show he knows you well. D. Point out your weak points.
What is the passage mainly about
A. The new meanings of buttons.
B. The great importance of buttons.
C. Useful expressions related to buttons.
D. English writing connected with buttons.
D
If you ask people to name the person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like "Shakespeare", "Samuel Johnson", and "Webster", but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn't even speak English—William the Conqueror.
Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived people belonging to two major language groups. In the west—central region lived the Welsh, who spoke Celtic language (凯尔特语), and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo—Saxon(or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.
But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of farmers. As a result, English words of polities and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction (区别) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. It even has different words for some food or meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon farmers were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.
When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition.
Before 1066, people in Britain mainly spoke ________.
A. Welsh and Scottish B. Celtic arid Old English
C. Anglo-Saxon arid Germanic D. Nordic and Germanic
How did William the Conqueror have a great effect on English
A. By defeating the Welsh.
B. By speaking good English.
C. By teaching people in Britain speak English.
D. By bringing French to Britain to greatly it influence English.
Why does Americans feel France is less foreign than Germany
A. They know French better than German.
B. They know little history of the English history.
C. In France most of the advertisements appear in English.
D. There are more similarities between English and French.
What is the main idea of this passage
A. The history of language.
B. The French's influence on English language.
C. The difference between English and French.
D. The rule of England by William the Conqueror.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you are watching a play or a film in a foreign language, poor understanding of that language often stops you from understanding what you're watching. 16
Read the story beforehand.
If the play or film is an adaptation(改编版) from a book then try reading the book first, either in your own language or that foreign language. 17 If you decide to read the book in the foreign language, you can read at your own speed. If you don't have enough time, you can read a short summary on the Internet.
18
It is important not to dwell on(细究) every single word you don't understand. A general understanding of what is happening is enough. 19 In this way, you will be more likely to follow what is happening.
Choose something that interests you.
A play that is something of interest to you will be far more enjoyable and much easier to understand than something you may find boring. 20 For example, if you like comedy, you may remember a funny part afterwards and be able to recall the joke that made you laugh. You will benefit much more in the long term.
I hope that these suggestions are helpful and I would really love to know if you decide to use them!
A．Keep repeating watching it.
B．Don't try to understand every word.
C．I have put together a few suggestions to help you.
D．As you watch it, note down new words and expressions.
E．By doing this you have an understanding of the story before you watch it.
F．If the language is too hard for you, try to look at what the characters are doing.
G．When you enjoy watching something you are much more likely to learn from it.
