A
Is it possible that the people of the world today could agree upon a single international language that everyone would be able to speak and understand
In the United Nations there are five official languages—English,Chinese,Russian,French and Spanish.How about making one of them into an international language English has been worked on for this purpose.A basic list of 850 English words named Basic English was made.These are the verbs in the entire (整个的)list:“come,go,give,keep,let,do,put,make,say,be,seem,may,will,have,send”.Writing in Basic English may require you to use a greater number of words—as in having to say “It came to my ears” instead of “I heard”—but you can still say anything you want to with just 850 different words and a few suffixes (后缀)and prefixes (前缀).This is a much smaller number of words to have to be remembered than the ordinary number offered to the students of a foreign language.
But people have always had a need to do more than simply “tell it as it is”.Language is for reporting not only one’s work.For this,a language needs idioms,needs all kinds of grammar and style (文体)that show its history and development just as a person needs eyebrows (眉毛).Is there some special reason why our lips should be a different colour from the rest of our face Perhaps not,but this is how people—real people—are.For communication between people,languages of all kinds will remain to reflect (反映)the growth and soul of the societies that speak them.
1.If we write a composition in Basic English,it will be 　　　.
A.longer than usual
B.shorter than usual
C.hard for us to express what we want to do
D.able to express ourselves in different styles
2.Which of the following statements is NOT true
A.Basic English is easier for students to learn.
B.Languages can reflect the growth of the mankind.
C.Grammar and idioms are still necessary for us.
D.Basic English will take the place of other languages.
3.We can learn from the text that 　　　.
A.the words used in Basic English are strictly limited to 850 words
B.Basic English is not a natural development of the English language
C.Basic English can be used to express our thoughts easily
D.Basic English seems not so easy to learn
4.In the author’s opinion,different societies’ languages are used to 　　　.
A.reflect their growth and soul
B.show their work
C.communicate with those from other societies
D.show off their wisdom
B
What is language for Some people seem to think it’s for practising grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists,the better.That’s wrong.Language is for the exchange (交流)of ideas and information.It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely.Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules,but they can’t speak correctly or fluently.They are afraid of making mistakes.One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language.Native speakers make mistakes and break rules,too.Bernard Shaw(萧伯纳)once wrote,“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.”But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make.They’re English mistakes in the English language.And if enough native speakers break a rule,it is no longer a rule.What used to be wrong becomes right.People not only make history,but they make language.However,a person can only make his/her own language.He/She can’t make another people’s language.So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar,but they shouldn’t overdo (做过头)it.They should put communication(交际)first.
5.Language is used to 　　　.
A.express oneself　　　　　B.practise grammar rules
C.talk with foreigners only D.learn lists of words
6.“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.”This sentence means that 　　　.
A.foreigners speak correct English
B.foreigners speak incorrect English
C.foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules
D.foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English
7.If too many native speakers break a rule,　　　.
A.what they use will become right
B.they are against the law
C.they should say sorry to others
D.they will become heroes
8.When we speak a foreign language,we should 　　　.
A.speak in Chinese way
B.follow the rules
C.speak to native speakers
D.not be afraid of making mistakes

1.答案:A
解析:推理判断题。由第二段第六句可知,想表达“I heard”需要用“It came to my ears”来代替,这表明用Basic English写出来的作文应该比通常的情况要长。
2.答案:D
解析:细节理解题。由第二段最后一句可知A项的叙述是正确的;由第三段可知B项和C项的叙述正确。只有D项的内容没有被提到。
3.答案:B
解析:推理判断题。由第二段第四句可知Basic English并非英语语言自然发展的产物。
4.答案:A
解析:细节理解题。由短文最后一句可以得出,不同社会的语言可以反映它们的发展和精神。
5.答案:A
解析:细节理解题。由第一段中的“Language is for the exchange of ideas and information.”可知这句话和“express oneself ”表达的意思相同,即“表达自己想说的话”。
6.答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据上下文,非英语国家的人在学英语时,首先要学许多的语法规则,由此推出他们说话时总是套规则,太死板。
7.答案:A
解析:细节理解题。由文中的“And if enough native speakers break a rule,it is no longer a rule.What used to be wrong becomes right.”可知如果足够多的母语使用者都打破某项语法规则,那就不再是规则,错误的东西就成为正确的东西。这与A项的叙述一致。
8.答案:D
解析:推理判断题。通过文章我们知道语言的作用是什么,而且更明确在学习外语时不仅要学语法,更重要的是学会使用这种语言来交流,不能怕犯错误。
1.答案:C
解析:语言的起源一直是人们感兴趣的事情,但是没有人确切地知道语言的起源究竟是怎样的。然而,我们还是对语言有许多了解。but后不能出现逗号。
2.答案:D
解析:由上下文可知此处一直在讲对语言的认识,而不单纯是对汉语或英语的认识。
3.答案:A
解析:人们对现在的语言以及更早的语言有所了解。由上下文可知此处与today对应。
4.答案:B
解析:由后面的“about three thousand languages in the world today”可知此处应用be动词的一般现在时的复数形式。
5.答案:B
解析:由with构成的介词短语做定语,修饰language,表示“汉语是使用人数最多的一种语言”。
6.答案:D
解析:上文指出汉语是使用人数最多的一种语言,接着又说英语、俄语和西班牙语也有数百万人使用,后文话锋一转,讲到还有不到一百人使用的语言,所以此处用on the other hand。
7.答案:C
解析:由后面的内容可知语言有几大语系,用families表示。下文的one large family也是提示。
8.答案:A
解析:由后面的“Indo-European language family”可知,欧洲的大多数语言都属于一个大的语系——印欧语系。
9.答案:A
解析:过去分词called做定语,表示“被称作”。
10.答案:B
解析:由前面的“was spoken”可知,此处应该用与一般过去时连用的ago。before用于过去完成时的句子中。
11.答案:C
解析:现在印度与欧洲的一些语言实际上就是4,500年以前的语言的现代形式(forms)。
12.答案:A
解析:由下文可知,语言一直都在发展变化。always与现在进行时连用表示“总是”。
13.答案:D
解析:be different from“与……不同”,为固定短语。
14.答案:A
解析:经过一段时间有些语言完全消失了。die out“灭绝,死光,消失”;die away“逐渐模糊,逐渐减弱”;die down“逐渐变弱,暗淡”;die off“相继死去”。
15.答案:B
解析:一千年前的英语还与当时人们讲的德语有亲缘关系。
16.答案:C
解析:表示“讲(某种语言)”用speak,此处用过去分词做定语表示被动。
17.答案:D
解析:讲某种语言的人多或某种语言很古老,那么不同地区人们说话的方式就有差别。A、C项只修饰不可数名词;a few表示“几个”,意义不符。
18.答案:B
解析:由上文可知此处指人们说话方式的不同,用复数形式。
19.答案:A
解析:此处是对上文的说明:也就是说(that is),一种语言可能有几种方言。
20.答案:D
解析:方言的差别如此之大,以至于来自不同地区的人都无法相互沟通。此处表示“不会,不能”,故用can’t。
答案:1.widely　2.spoken　3.second　4.as　5.working 6.more　7.It　8.in　9.from　10.writers
