There are 3,500 Chinese 5 (word) that are frequently used. A good grasp of these Hanzi is like reading an encyclopedia about China.
While on 6 other side of the earth, Egyptian hieroglyphs(埃及象形文字), the carved symbols on the temple walls by ancient Egyptians, are recognized as the 7 (old) Egyptian writing. The single symbol or combined symbols can give a 8 (describe) of an important event in ancient Egypt. However, Egyptian hieroglyphs 9 (strange) disappeared about 1,600 years ago, which confused the greatest minds in the Egyptian archaeology (考古学) for many centuries. Finally, the possibility of decoding (解码) hieroglyphs came about with the discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799. After that, archaeologists were able to use their knowledge of Greek 10 (understand)the meaning of the hieroglyphic symbols gradually.

When I was ten years old, I went to the US to visit some family friends. We travelled all the way from California to Las Vegas. I noticed something funny about the way everyone spoke English. I was thinking, “This is the way they speak in films!”
At the beginning of the holiday, one of my friends asked me if I wanted to order “French fries”. I couldn't imagine what French fries were. What were fried and French Snails Cheese She was surprised that I had never tried them and she ordered French fries for us to share. When the waiter brought us some chips, I asked her where the French fries were. She pointed to the plate of chips! Later that week she said she was going to buy some “chips” from the supermarket. She came out with a packet of crisps!
During that holiday we were also offered “biscuits and gravy(肉汁)” with our lunch. This was a very strange idea to me, because in England biscuits are sweet. Gravy is a salty, meat-based sauce. I later realized that “biscuits” in America are savoury snacks. What we call “biscuits”, they call “cookies”.
One day, I saw an “eggplant” pizza on the menu in a restaurant! Eggs do not grow on plants, I thought. What on earth could an “eggplant” be Something eggy and leafy My dad ordered this pizza and it was covered in aubergine(茄子). I asked him where the “eggplant” was. He laughed and pointed to the aubergine. He told me, “We call this ‘eggplant’ in America!”
Although the same “language” may be spoken in different countries, there are likely to be many differences, not just in vocabulary but also in spelling, grammar and pronunciation! I think part of the excitement of learning a language is discovering the differences in how it is spoken in different places.
1.What can we learn from paragraph 2
A.Holiday is a good time to relax.
B.French fries are popular worldwide.
C.The waiter provided poor service.
D.Chips and crisps are the same food.

There are nearly 7,000 languages actively being spoken in the world today, although only about three percent of them have more than a million speakers each. People in many different countries see the value of learning a foreign language to improve their international business relations. Because of this, the number of people who speak certain languages will continue to rise. There are some languages that currently dominate the globe.
With more than 1.4 billion people living in China today, it is no surprise that Chinese is the most commonly spoken language. Due to the size of China's area and population, the country is able to sustain many unique and interesting languages. Speaking of languages, the term “Chinese” contains at least 10 dialects spoken in the country and elsewhere. While Spanish is not a commonly heard language in most parts of Africa, Asia, and the majority of Europe, that hasn't stopped it from becoming the third most commonly spoken language. The spread of the Spanish language is rooted in colonization (殖民). English too, was a colonial language: British colonial efforts began in the 15th century and lasted until the early 20th century, the colonial range including places as far-flung as North America, India, Pakistan, Africa, and Australia. After World War Ⅱ, the United States led the world in both technological and medical innovation. Because of this, it was considered beneficial for students pursuing their work in the fields to learn English. English is also a useful language for travelers to learn because it is spoken in so many parts of the globe.
Since the popularity of social media, the development of a global language network can be mapped using Facebook, YouTube and so on. These social networks are only available to elites, people with access to both traditional and new media. Statistics from these social networks show that while English is definitely the center in the global language network, other intermediate(中级的) centers used by elites to communicate business and science information include German, French, and Spanish. Currently, languages such as Chinese, Arabic, and Hindi are to some extent more popular than German or French, and it is likely that the usage of those languages will grow in traditional and new media.
5.What does the underlined word “dominate” mean
A.Rule. B.Follow. C.Improve. D.Weaken.
6.Which of the following does not lead to the widespread use of Chinese
A.The large population of China.
B.The various dialects of Chinese.
C.The geographical size of China.
D.Its influence on global colonization.
7.Why do many people choose to learn English as a foreign language
A.It promotes national tourism.
B.It is helpful for them to seek jobs.
C.It is mainly used in local business.
D.It allows them to become online influencers.
8.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.English will become less central in the future.
B.Social media is equally accessible to all people.
C.Hindi grows more important than Spanish in business.
D.Language usage is changing due to social media.
答案与分层梯度式解析
基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.billions 考查数词的用法。句意:每年有数十亿人访问这个网站。billions of表示“数十亿”。故填billions。
知识拓展
billion与具体的数字连用时,表示具体的数量,这时billion后不加-s,如 one billion(十亿)、two billion(二十亿);当表示概数时,billion前不加具体的数字,billion后要加-s且与of连用,即billions of。有这种用法的词还有hundred(一百)、thousand(一千)、million(一百万)。
2.to/towards 考查介词。an attitude to/towards...意为“对……的态度”。故填to或towards。句意:虽然他吃了很多苦,但他对未来的生活持积极的态度。
3.global 考查形容词。设空处修饰其后的名词短语black rhino population,应用形容词。故填global。
4.of 考查介词。be of importance=be important,故填of。句意:帮助下一代拥有健康和活跃的童年非常重要,该行业正在发挥作用。
5.to 考查固定搭配。refer to...as...表示“把……称为……”。故填to。句意:我一直很钦佩妈妈的专业技能,并把她称为我的榜样。
6.as 考查介词。regard...as...表示“认为……是……;把……看作/视为……”。故填as。句意:她说,当她在网上看到人们把她视为国家的骄傲时,她很高兴。
7.based 考查形容词。句意:当你认识到并理解自己的羞怯,然后根据那种自我意识采取行动时,这也会让你在任何地方都取得成功。根据语境可知,该句应用based on...作状语,表示“根据……”。故填based。
8.variety;varying;various 考查名词、现在分词和形容词。句意:谈到艺术节,我们学校举办了各种各样的活动,从才艺表演到演讲比赛,目的是提高学生的各种能力。a variety of意为“各种各样的”,故第一空填名词variety;该句中已有谓语(held),所以第二空应填非谓语动词,提示词vary与前面的名词activities为主动关系,故填现在分词varying;第三空后是复数名词abilities,应用形容词修饰,故填various。
9.majority;majoring;majors 考查名词、动名词和名词复数。句意:调查表明,大多数高中生期待主修工科专业,认为主修工科的学生毕业后更容易找到一份高薪的工作。the majority of...意为“大多数……”,故第一空填majority;major in...意为“主修……(专业)”,第二空位于介词to后面,故填动名词majoring;第三空指“主修工科的学生”,major为可数名词,此处表示泛指但无冠词修饰,应用复数形式,故第三空填名词复数majors。
10.where 考查定语从句。句意:此外,在食用植物的同一栋建筑内建立系统,意味着植物从种植到制成沙拉的运输过程实现零排放。 设空处无提示词,结合句子结构和语境可知空后内容it's eaten的状语应为in the same building,所以设空处引导定语从句且在从句中作地点状语。故填where。
Ⅱ.1.dates back to 2.ups and downs 3.refer to
4.plays a great role in
Ⅲ.1.I'd appreciate it if 2.By no means can we 3.①No matter what the time is/No matter what time it is
②Whatever the time is/Whatever time it is
能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.widely 考查副词。be widely known for...因……而广为人知。句意:中国因其古老的文明而广为人知,这种古老的文明一直延续到现在。
2.factors 考查名词复数。one of the后接可数名词复数。故填factors。句意:这其中的一个主要因素就是汉语书写体系。
3.on 考查介词。be based on...以……为基础,故填介词on。
4.had become 考查动词的时态。由时间状语By the Shang Dynasty可知,此处指在过去某一时间之前完成的动作,故用过去完成时。句意:到了商朝,这些符号已经成为一套成熟的书写体系。
5.leading 考查现在分词。分析句子结构可知,设空处前面的主句和从句已有谓语动词,且设空处前面只有逗号,没有连词,故推测设空处应填非谓语动词。设空处前面表示“由于人们生活在不同的地方”,后面表示“产生了许多种方言和文字”,所以设空处表示自然而然的结果,应用现在分词。
6.an 考查冠词。play an important part in...在……中起重要的作用。important的发音以元音音素开头,故填不定冠词an。
7.its 考查代词。这里指“中国的现在和它的过去被连接起来”,应用形容词性物主代词its。
8.written 考查过去分词。这里指“由古代中国人写的经典作品”,设空处作后置定语修饰名词短语classic works,且classic works与write之间为被动关系,故填过去分词written。
9.global 考查形容词。设空处作定语,修饰名词affairs,故填形容词global,global affairs表示“全球事务”。
10.and 考查连词。这里指“越来越多的国际学生开始学习汉语并欣赏中国的文化和历史”,前后内容为递进关系,故填连词and。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国汉字与埃及象形文字的起源、特点和发展,展现了两种古老文字的独特魅力与历史意义。
【高频词汇】 1.meanwhile adv.与此同时 2.represent vt.象征;代表 3.frequently adv.频繁地 4.combined adj.结合的;联合的 5.confuse vt.使糊涂;使迷惑
6.gradually adv.逐渐地;逐步地
【差距词汇】 1.resemble v.像;与……相似 2.a good grasp of对……非常了解 3.encyclopedia n.百科全书
1.recorded 考查动词时态。句意:中国古代的人通过画画来记录他们在世界上看到的东西。设空处是主句的谓语,提示词record与主语Ancient Chinese people为主动关系,本句描述的是古代中国人的情况,为过去发生的事情,所以用一般过去时。故填recorded。
2.which/that 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,后面内容缺主语,且结合语境可知can be read的主语是前面的pictures,所以设空处引导定语从句且在从句中作主语,先行词为pictures,故用关系代词which或that。句意:传说汉字是可以阅读的图片。
3.of 考查介词。be made up of为固定短语,意为“由……组成”。故填of。句意:同时,一些汉字是由代表声音的符号组成的。
4.Looking 考查现在分词。句意:回顾历史,我们可以了解人们用汉字提到的生活。本句中谓语是can understand,所以设空处应填非谓语动词,look back on意为“回顾”,与主句主语we为主动关系,所以用现在分词作状语,句首单词首字母大写。故填Looking。
5.words 考查名词复数。本句是there be句式,设空处作句子的主语,由空前的are和数词3,500可知,设空处用可数名词word的复数形式。故填words。
6.the 考查冠词。句意:在地球的另一端,埃及象形文字,即古埃及人刻在寺庙墙壁上的符号,被公认为是最古老的埃及文字。on the other side of...意为“在……的另一边”。故填冠词the。
7.oldest 考查形容词最高级。这里在介绍埃及象形文字,根据前面的“the carved symbols on the temple walls by ancient Egyptians”可知,这里强调这种文字的古老,结合空前的the可知这里指“最古老的文字”,故用最高级oldest。
8.description 考查名词。句意:单个符号或组合符号可以描述古埃及的一个重要事件。根据空前的动词give和冠词a 可知,此处用名词形式,表示“描述”。故填description。
9.strangely 考查副词。句意:然而,埃及象形文字大约在一千六百年前奇怪地消失了,这让最聪明的埃及考古学家困惑了好几个世纪。设空处修饰谓语动词disappeared,应用副词。故填strangely。
10.to understand 考查不定式。句意:在那之后,考古学家就能够用他们希腊语的知识逐渐理解象形符号的含义。use sth. to do sth.意为“用某物做某事”。故填不定式to understand。
Ⅲ.A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在十岁时去美国游玩的经历,在游玩期间,作者发现了英式英语和美式英语在用词方面的不同。
【高频词汇】 1.all the way一路上 2.point to 指向 3.on earth 到底;究竟
【差距词汇】 1.packet n.小包,小袋 2.savoury adj.咸味的 3.leafy adj.多叶的
1.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的关键信息“she said she was going to buy some ‘chips’” 和“She came out with a packet of crisps!”可知,chips和crisps是同一种食物。故选D。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This was a very strange idea to me, because in England biscuits are sweet.”可知,作者最可能来自英格兰。故选C。
3.B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“What on earth could an ‘eggplant’ be Something eggy and leafy ”可推测,当看到菜单上的“eggplant”比萨饼时,作者感到困惑。故选B。
4.D 主旨大意题。
根据文章结构可知,本文主要讲述了作者去美国探访家庭朋友期间经历的几件让作者误解的小事,反映了英式英语和美式英语的不同。由此可知,这篇文章的主要内容是跨文化误解。故选D。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕全球语言的使用情况,阐述了世界上语言的多样性,重点介绍了汉语、西班牙语和英语被广泛使用的原因,还提到社交媒体对全球语言网络发展的影响以及语言使用的变化趋势。
【高频词汇】 1.sustain vt.维持;保持 2.unique adj.独特的 3.contain vt.包含;含有;容纳 4.be rooted in根源在于 5.beneficial adj.有利的 6.pursue v.追求;致力于 7.available adj.可获得的;可利用的 8.statistics n.统计数据 9.definitely adv.当然;确切地
【差距词汇】 1.far-flung adj.遥远的;分布广的,广泛的
2.innovation n.创新;改革 3.elite n.精英
5.A 词义猜测题。画线词前面讲到,许多国家的人都意识到学习一门外语的价值,所以说某些语言的人数将会持续增加。下文列举了汉语、西班牙语、英语这三种在全球被广泛使用的语言,说明这些语言在全球语言使用中占据重要地位,故画线词dominate应是 “控制,支配”之意,与A项意思相近。故选A。
6.D 细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二、三句可知,中国庞大的人口数量和辽阔的地域是汉语被广泛使用的原因;汉语包含至少十种方言,这也是汉语被广泛使用的一个原因。但文中并未提到汉语在全球殖民中的影响,所以D项 “它在全球殖民中的影响”不是汉语被广泛使用的原因。故选D。
7.B 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二、三句可知,由于美国在技术和医学创新方面的领先地位,学习英语对在这些领域找工作的学生来说是有益的。所以很多人选择把英语作为一门外语来学习是为了找工作。故选B。
8.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句可知,这些社交网络的统计数据表明,尽管英语无疑是全球语言网络的中心,但精英们用于交流商业和科学信息的其他中级中心语言包括德语、法语和西班牙语。目前,汉语、阿拉伯语和印地语等语言在某种程度上比德语或法语更为流行,这些语言在传统媒体和新媒体中的使用可能会增长。由此可推测,随着社交媒体的流行,语言使用正在发生变化。故选D。

While Spanish is not a commonly heard language in most parts of Africa, Asia, and the majority of Europe, that hasn't stopped it from becoming the third most commonly spoken language. The spread of the Spanish language is rooted in colonization (殖民). English too, was a colonial language: British colonial efforts began in the 15th century and lasted until the early 20th century, the colonial range including places as far-flung as North America, India, Pakistan, Africa, and Australia. After World War Ⅱ, the United States led the world in both technological and medical innovation. Because of this, it was considered beneficial for students pursuing their work in the fields to learn English. English is also a useful language for travelers to learn because it is spoken in so many parts of the globe.
Since the popularity of social media, the development of a global language network can be mapped using Facebook, YouTube and so on. These social networks are only available to elites, people with access to both traditional and new media. Statistics from these social networks show that while English is definitely the center in the global language network, other intermediate(中级的) centers used by elites to communicate business and science information include German, French, and Spanish. Currently, languages such as Chinese, Arabic, and Hindi are to some extent more popular than German or French, and it is likely that the usage of those languages will grow in traditional and new media.

答案与分层梯度式解析
基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.billions 考查数词的用法。句意:每年有数十亿人访问这个网站。billions of表示“数十亿”。故填billions。
知识拓展
billion与具体的数字连用时,表示具体的数量,这时billion后不加-s,如 one billion(十亿)、two billion(二十亿);当表示概数时,billion前不加具体的数字,billion后要加-s且与of连用,即billions of。有这种用法的词还有hundred(一百)、thousand(一千)、million(一百万)。
2.to/towards 考查介词。an attitude to/towards...意为“对……的态度”。故填to或towards。句意:虽然他吃了很多苦,但他对未来的生活持积极的态度。
3.global 考查形容词。设空处修饰其后的名词短语black rhino population,应用形容词。故填global。
4.of 考查介词。be of importance=be important,故填of。句意:帮助下一代拥有健康和活跃的童年非常重要,该行业正在发挥作用。
5.to 考查固定搭配。refer to...as...表示“把……称为……”。故填to。句意:我一直很钦佩妈妈的专业技能,并把她称为我的榜样。
6.as 考查介词。regard...as...表示“认为……是……;把……看作/视为……”。故填as。句意:她说,当她在网上看到人们把她视为国家的骄傲时,她很高兴。
7.based 考查形容词。句意:当你认识到并理解自己的羞怯,然后根据那种自我意识采取行动时,这也会让你在任何地方都取得成功。根据语境可知,该句应用based on...作状语,表示“根据……”。故填based。
8.variety;varying;various 考查名词、现在分词和形容词。句意:谈到艺术节,我们学校举办了各种各样的活动,从才艺表演到演讲比赛,目的是提高学生的各种能力。a variety of意为“各种各样的”,故第一空填名词variety;该句中已有谓语(held),所以第二空应填非谓语动词,提示词vary与前面的名词activities为主动关系,故填现在分词varying;第三空后是复数名词abilities,应用形容词修饰,故填various。
9.majority;majoring;majors 考查名词、动名词和名词复数。句意:调查表明,大多数高中生期待主修工科专业,认为主修工科的学生毕业后更容易找到一份高薪的工作。the majority of...意为“大多数……”,故第一空填majority;major in...意为“主修……(专业)”,第二空位于介词to后面,故填动名词majoring;第三空指“主修工科的学生”,major为可数名词,此处表示泛指但无冠词修饰,应用复数形式,故第三空填名词复数majors。
10.where 考查定语从句。句意:此外,在食用植物的同一栋建筑内建立系统,意味着植物从种植到制成沙拉的运输过程实现零排放。 设空处无提示词,结合句子结构和语境可知空后内容it's eaten的状语应为in the same building,所以设空处引导定语从句且在从句中作地点状语。故填where。

3.on 考查介词。be based on...以……为基础,故填介词on。
4.had become 考查动词的时态。由时间状语By the Shang Dynasty可知,此处指在过去某一时间之前完成的动作,故用过去完成时。句意:到了商朝,这些符号已经成为一套成熟的书写体系。
5.leading 考查现在分词。分析句子结构可知,设空处前面的主句和从句已有谓语动词,且设空处前面只有逗号,没有连词,故推测设空处应填非谓语动词。设空处前面表示“由于人们生活在不同的地方”,后面表示“产生了许多种方言和文字”,所以设空处表示自然而然的结果,应用现在分词。

10.and 考查连词。这里指“越来越多的国际学生开始学习汉语并欣赏中国的文化和历史”,前后内容为递进关系,故填连词and。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国汉字与埃及象形文字的起源、特点和发展,展现了两种古老文字的独特魅力与历史意义。

1.recorded 考查动词时态。句意:中国古代的人通过画画来记录他们在世界上看到的东西。设空处是主句的谓语,提示词record与主语Ancient Chinese people为主动关系,本句描述的是古代中国人的情况,为过去发生的事情,所以用一般过去时。故填recorded。
2.which/that 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,后面内容缺主语,且结合语境可知can be read的主语是前面的pictures,所以设空处引导定语从句且在从句中作主语,先行词为pictures,故用关系代词which或that。句意:传说汉字是可以阅读的图片。
3.of 考查介词。be made up of为固定短语,意为“由……组成”。故填of。句意:同时,一些汉字是由代表声音的符号组成的。
4.Looking 考查现在分词。句意:回顾历史,我们可以了解人们用汉字提到的生活。本句中谓语是can understand,所以设空处应填非谓语动词,look back on意为“回顾”,与主句主语we为主动关系,所以用现在分词作状语,句首单词首字母大写。故填Looking。
5.words 考查名词复数。本句是there be句式,设空处作句子的主语,由空前的are和数词3,500可知,设空处用可数名词word的复数形式。故填words。

7.oldest 考查形容词最高级。这里在介绍埃及象形文字,根据前面的“the carved symbols on the temple walls by ancient Egyptians”可知,这里强调这种文字的古老,结合空前的the可知这里指“最古老的文字”,故用最高级oldest。
8.description 考查名词。句意:单个符号或组合符号可以描述古埃及的一个重要事件。根据空前的动词give和冠词a 可知,此处用名词形式,表示“描述”。故填description。
9.strangely 考查副词。句意:然而,埃及象形文字大约在一千六百年前奇怪地消失了,这让最聪明的埃及考古学家困惑了好几个世纪。设空处修饰谓语动词disappeared,应用副词。故填strangely。
10.to understand 考查不定式。句意:在那之后,考古学家就能够用他们希腊语的知识逐渐理解象形符号的含义。use sth. to do sth.意为“用某物做某事”。故填不定式to understand。

2.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This was a very strange idea to me, because in England biscuits are sweet.”可知,作者最可能来自英格兰。故选C。
3.B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“What on earth could an ‘eggplant’ be Something eggy and leafy ”可推测,当看到菜单上的“eggplant”比萨饼时,作者感到困惑。故选B。
4.D 主旨大意题。
根据文章结构可知,本文主要讲述了作者去美国探访家庭朋友期间经历的几件让作者误解的小事,反映了英式英语和美式英语的不同。由此可知,这篇文章的主要内容是跨文化误解。故选D。

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕全球语言的使用情况,阐述了世界上语言的多样性,重点介绍了汉语、西班牙语和英语被广泛使用的原因,还提到社交媒体对全球语言网络发展的影响以及语言使用的变化趋势。
【高频词汇】 1.sustain vt.维持;保持 2.unique adj.独特的 3.contain vt.包含;含有;容纳 4.be rooted in根源在于 5.beneficial adj.有利的 6.pursue v.追求;致力于 7.available adj.可获得的;可利用的 8.statistics n.统计数据 9.definitely adv.当然;确切地

5.A 词义猜测题。画线词前面讲到,许多国家的人都意识到学习一门外语的价值,所以说某些语言的人数将会持续增加。下文列举了汉语、西班牙语、英语这三种在全球被广泛使用的语言,说明这些语言在全球语言使用中占据重要地位,故画线词dominate应是 “控制,支配”之意,与A项意思相近。故选A。
6.D 细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二、三句可知,中国庞大的人口数量和辽阔的地域是汉语被广泛使用的原因;汉语包含至少十种方言,这也是汉语被广泛使用的一个原因。但文中并未提到汉语在全球殖民中的影响,所以D项 “它在全球殖民中的影响”不是汉语被广泛使用的原因。故选D。
7.B 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二、三句可知,由于美国在技术和医学创新方面的领先地位,学习英语对在这些领域找工作的学生来说是有益的。所以很多人选择把英语作为一门外语来学习是为了找工作。故选B。
8.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句可知,这些社交网络的统计数据表明,尽管英语无疑是全球语言网络的中心,但精英们用于交流商业和科学信息的其他中级中心语言包括德语、法语和西班牙语。目前,汉语、阿拉伯语和印地语等语言在某种程度上比德语或法语更为流行,这些语言在传统媒体和新媒体中的使用可能会增长。由此可推测,随着社交媒体的流行,语言使用正在发生变化。故选D。
