You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French. The reason dates back to the year 1066, when Norman troops invaded（入侵）what is now Britain. The Normans were from northern France and spoke French. During the Norman occupation（占领期）, French became the language of England's rulers and wealthy class. This lasted for more than 300 years. Other people in England continued to speak English during this period.
Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language. However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way.
Take, for example, the French word "college" In English, college can often be used in place of the word "university", or sometimes as a school within a university. However, in French, college actually means "middle school", or the level of schooling for students in grades five or six through eight.
There are many other similar words in the two languages with completely different meanings. In English, the word "chat" is a verb which means "to talk casually"; but in French, the word "chat" is the word for an animal: a cat.
If an English speaker says someone is jolly, that means he or she is cheerful or friendly. But in French, "jolie" means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. In any case, both are nice things to say to someone.
1. What language did the upper class speak in Britain of Norman times
A. English.
B. French.
C. Both English and French
D. Some unknown language.
2. What does a Frenchman mean if he says he likes a chat
A. He likes a kind of pet.
B. He wants to have a talk.
C. He hates to speak English.
D. He prefers to chat in French.
3. What is the French word "jolie" used to do
A. Replace "jolly" in English.
B. Describe people's looks.
C. Refer to people's happiness.
D. Prove the change in French.
4. What is the text mainly about
A. A comparison between two languages.
B. Difficulty in grasping English.
C. French words in English.
D. The development of English.

Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing. A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They found that miscommunication was always possible, even over something as simple as "yes" and "no".
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren't paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, "Do you have cold drinks " The woman there didn't say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows（眉毛）, which in Micronesia means "yes".
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was famous for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, "Do you have cabbage today " He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means "no".
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean "yes" or "no".
5. The Americans teaching English in other countries found that they ________.
A. had problems with communication
B. needed to learn foreign languages
C. should often discuss their experiences
D. should go abroad for vacations
6. How do people in Micronesia show "yes"
A. By nodding their heads.
B. By raising their eyebrows.
C. By shaking their heads.
D. By saying "no".
7. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage
A. In Bulgaria, nodding heads means "no".
B. Jan taught English on a Pacific island.
C. Lisa was trying to buy some cabbage.
D. In India, only shaking heads means "yes".
8. Why did Tom misunderstand his class at first
A. Because he didn't know where the students came from.
B. Because he didn't explain anything clearly enough.
C. Because some students didn't understand his questions.
D. Because he did not know much about Indian culture.

参考答案：
一、阅读理解
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了英语中存在大量法语词汇的现象。
1.B细节理解题。根据题干可知，本题要寻找的信息是：在诺曼时代，英国上层社会的人说的是何种语言？根据第一段中During the Norman occupation（占领期），French became the language of England's rulers and wealthy class.可知，在诺曼人占领期间，法语成了英国统治者和富裕阶级的语言。本题的解题关键在于将题干中的the upper class和原文中的England's rulers and wealthy class相对应。
2.A推理判断题。根据第四段中but in French，the word "chat" is the word for an animal: a cat可知，在法语中，单词chat是cat的意思。由此可以推断出，如果一个法国人说他喜欢chat，他的意思是“他喜欢一种宠物”。
3.B推理判断题。根据最后一段中But in French，"jolie" means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at.可知，在法语中jolie的意思是：某人长得好看或看上去是令人愉快的。由此可知，jolie在法语里被用来“描述人的外表”。A项“在英语中取代‘jolly’”、C项“指人们的幸福”和D项“证明法语的变化”均不符合题意。
4.C主旨大意题。根据第一段中You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French.二段中Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language.可知，本文主要介绍的是英语中的法语单词。A项“两种语言之间的比较”B项“掌握英语上的困难”和D项“英语的发展”均不符合题意。
B
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了人们在不同地区或国家因为文化差异而造成误解的经历。
5.A细节理解题。根据第一段中They found that miscommunication was always possible，even over something as simple as "yes" and "no".可知，在其他国家教英语的美国人发现：即使在“是”和“否”这样简单的事情上，沟通错误也是有可能的。因此他们发现沟通有困难，故选A项。B项“需要学习外国语言”，C项“应该经常讨论他们的经历”和D项“应该出国度假”均为无中生有项。
6.B细节理解题。根据第二段中She had raised her eyebrows（眉毛），which in Micronesia means“yes”.可知，在Micronesia用抬眉毛的方式表示“yes”。
7.A细节理解题。根据第三段中In that country，a nod means“no”.可知，在Bulgaria，点头意味着“no”，故A项正确。根据第三段中Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe.可知，Jan是在欧洲的一个国家教英语，故B项“Jan在一个太平洋岛屿上教英语。”错误：根据第三段可知，要买卷心菜的是Jan，故C项错误：根据最后一段可知，在印度，来自不同的地区的人们会用点头或摇头的不同方式来表示“yes”，故D项错误。
8.D推理判断题。根据最后一段中In India，people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from.可知，在印度，人们用点头和摇头的不同方式表示“yes”，这取决于他们来自哪里。由此可以推断出，Tom刚开始时误解了学生是因为他不知道这个文化习俗。本题易误选A项“因为他不知道学生们来自哪里。”，做题时需要注意A项为表层意义，其根本原因是Tom对印度的文化了解不深。
二、语法填空
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何把英语和表演结合起来，并举例说明。
1.a考查冠词。此处表示“一名来自云南一所中学的学生”。根据空后可数名词单数student可知，本空应用不定冠词a表泛指。
2.was given考查时态和语态。本句叙述过去的事情，故用般过去时，且句子主语Wang Peihan和动词give之间为被动关系，故本空应用一般过去时的被动语态。
3.carefully考查副词。句意：这个小男孩一遍又一遍地仔细观看这部话剧2008年的电影版，这让他成为这部经典名著的“专家”。本空修饰动词，故应用副词carefully。
4.which考查非限制性定语从句。句意参考上题。本空引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面整个主句，故应用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句。
5.from考查介词。句意：通过向扮演李尔王的演员Ian McKellen学习，王对李尔王这个角色非常了解。learn from意为“向……学习”，故本空应用介词from。
6.performance考查名词。句意：他说：“所以我的表演的关键点是情感表达。”根据空前形容词性物主代词y可知，本空应用名词performance。.
7.lost考查形容词。此处表示“重要的是不要沉浸于这部著名的电影”。be lost in意为“沉浸于，全神贯注于”，故本空应用形容词lost。
8.ourselves考查反身代词。此处表示“有些台词是我们自己写的”。本空人称和主语一致，故应用反身代词ourselves。
9.to use考查不定式。此处表示“使用我们自己的语言技能是一种挑战，也是一种鼓励”。本句中it作形式主语，故本空应用不定式作真正的主语。
10.acting考查动名词。根据空前介词by可知，本空应用动名词形式。注意：在by doing结构中，by为介词，用来表示方法、手段、方式等，意为“凭借；靠；用；通过”。
