课文三维剖析
Neither Pine nor Apple in Pineapple
菠萝≠松树+苹果
Have you ever asked yourself why1 people often have trouble learning2 English? I hadn't, until one day my five year old son asked me whether3 there was ham in a hamburger. There isn't. This made me realize that4 there's no egg in eggplant either. Neither5 is there pine nor apple in pineapple. This got me thinking6 how7 English can be a crazy language to learn. 你有没有问过自己,为什么人们常常觉得学英语很困难?我以前从未想过这个问题,直到有一天,我5岁的儿子问我 hamburger(汉堡包)里面有没有ham(火腿)。答案是没有。这让我意识到,eggplant(茄子)里面也没有egg(鸡蛋),而 pineapple(菠萝)里既没有 pine(松树),也没有apple(苹果)。这让我陷入思考:对于学习者而言,英语到底可以有多疯狂呢? For example8 , in our free time we can sculpt a sculpture and paint a painting, but9 we take a photo. And when10 we are traveling we say that11 we are in the car or the taxi, but on the train or bus! While12 we're doing all this traveling, we can get seasick at sea, airsick in the air and carsick in a car, but13 we don't get homesick when14 we get back home. And speaking of home15 , why aren't homework and housework the same thing? 例如,闲暇时我们可以雕一座雕像(sculpt a sculpture)、画一幅画(paint a painting),但只能拍一张照片(take a photo)。旅行时,我们坐汽车或出租车时是说坐在里面(in),坐火车或公共汽车时却要说坐在上面(on)!同样,我们会在海上晕船(seasick at sea)、在飞机里晕机(airsick in the air)、在车里晕车(carsick in a car),但回到家里我们却不会“晕家”(homesick,实际意义为“思乡的”)。说到家,为什么homework(家庭作业)和housework(家务)(这两个英语单词看起来很像意思却)不是一回事呢? If16 “hard” is the opposite of “soft”, why are “hardly” and “softly” not an opposing pair? If17 harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, why are shameless and shameful behaviors the same? 如果说 hard(硬)是 soft(软)的反义词,为什么hardly(几乎不)和 softly(柔和地)却不是一对反义词?如果说harmless actions(无害行为)和 harmful actions(有害行为)意思相反,为什么 shameless behaviors(无耻行为)和 shameful behaviors(可耻行为)反而是一回事? When18 we look out of the window and see rain or snow, we can say “it's raining” or “it's snowing”. But when19 we see sunshine, we can't say “it's sunshining”. 当我们望向窗外,看到雨(rain)或雪(snow)时,我们可以说正在下雨(it's raining)或正在下雪(it's snowing)。可我们看见阳光(sunshine)的时候却不能说“正在下阳光”(it's sunshining)。 Even the smallest words can be confusing. When20 you see the capitalized “WHO” in a medical report, do you read it as the “who” in “Who's that?” What about “IT” and “US”? 就算是最短小的单词都让人费解。如果你在医学报告中看到大写的 WHO,你会把它读成Who's that?中的who吗?那么IT和US又该怎么读呢? You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in which a house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out21 , and in which22 an alarm is only heard once23 it goes off! 英语这门语言独有的疯狂令你不得不感到惊奇。在英语里,房子烧成灰烬的时候,可以说 burn up(字面意思为“烧上去”),也可以说burn down(字面意思为“烧下去”);填表的时候,你可以fill in a form(字面意思为“填入表里”),也可以 fill out a form(字面意思为“填到表外”);而且只有闹钟走了(go off 字面意思为“离开”)以后你才能听到铃声! English was invented by people, not computers, and24 it reflects the creativity of the human race. That is why25 when26 the stars are out, they are visible, but27 when28 the lights are out, they are invisible. And that is why when I wind up my watch, it starts, but when I wind up this passage, it ends. 英语是人创造的,不是计算机发明的,它反映了人类的创造力。这就是为什么 stars are out(星星出来了)的时候我们能看到星星,而lights are out(灯灭了)的时候我们却看不到灯光。这也是当我 wind up my watch(给手表上紧发条)以后表针开始走,而我 wind up this passage(将本文收尾)后这篇文章结束的原因。 1 引导宾语从句,作动词asked的宾语 2 have trouble (in) doing sth意为“做某事有困难” 3 引导宾语从句,作动词asked的宾语 4 引导宾语从句,作动词realize的宾语 5 否定副词置于句首,句子使用部分倒装 6 现在分词作宾语补足语 7 引导宾语从句,作动词thinking的宾语 8 插入语 9 连接并列句 10 引导时间状语从句 11 引导宾语从句,作动词say的宾语 12 引导时间状语从句 13 连接并列句 14 引导时间状语从句 15 插入语 16 引导条件状语从句 17 引导条件状语从句 18 引导时间状语从句 19 引导时间状语从句 20 引导时间状语从句 21 动名词短语作宾语 22 三个由介词+关系代词引导的定语从句,修饰a__language 23 引导时间状语从句 24 连接并列句 25引导表语从句 26 引导时间状语从句 27 连接并列句 28 引导时间状语从句

Ⅰ 阅读
Learning any language is hard, but learning English can be especially challenging. Why? Because native speakers use the language in ways that textbooks could never describe. In particular, words that British people use cause many language students to scratch their heads.
Here's an example: You overhear a Briton calling someone a “wazzock”. But what exactly is a wazzock? This word, in fact, means a foolish person, although there's nothing about it that would help you guess that. There are many strange terms like this in British English—the Oxford English Dictionary would be much smaller without these odd usages filling its pages.
How can these odd words be explained? Part of the answer is the British sense of humor. Britons don't like to take things too seriously, and this is evident through many British words and phrases. For example, to “spend a penny” means to use the bathroom. It refers to the days when people had to pay a penny to use a public toilet.
In an interview for the BBC's website, British linguist David Crystal suggested there may be historical reasons for the large number of odd words and phrases in British English. He thinks that they began in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This was a great age for the theater, when Shakespeare and other writers worked hard to keep up with the demand for new plays. The theater's popularity also created an incentive to invent new words. With this in mind, perhaps Shakespeare and his peers are to blame for unusual British words such as “codswallop” and “balderdash”—which both, mean “nonsense”.
While these strange words may be confusing to non native speakers, they certainly make studying English a lot more interesting.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英式英语中出现大量奇怪单词的原因。
1.According to the text, why may non native speakers find it more challenging to learn English?
A.Dictionaries are too complicated to understand.
B.The English vocabulary is too large for them to learn.
C.A large number of strange expressions confuse them.
D.The English textbooks they use are usually out of date.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Because native speakers ... scratch their heads.(因为母语为英语的人使用这种语言的方式是教科书无法描述的。特别是英国人使用的单词,让许多语言专业的学生挠头。)”可推知,母语为非英语的人之所以会觉得学英语更具有挑战性是因为许多奇怪的表达让他们觉得非常困惑。故选C。
2.With the example of the Oxford English Dictionary in Paragraph 2, the author intends to ________.
A.stress the large number of strange terms
B.explain the origin of the strange phrases
C.show British people's attitude towards odd phrases
D.show the usefulness of the Oxford English Dictionary
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“There are many ... filling its pages.”可知,英式英语中有很多奇怪的术语,如果没有这些奇怪的用法充斥其中,《牛津英语词典》的篇幅就会小得多。由此可推知,第二段以《牛津英语词典》为例,是为了强调英语词汇中有大量奇怪的术语。故选A。
3.Which of the following words has the similar meaning to the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 4?
A.Concern. B.Inspiration.
C.Application. D.Opinion.
答案:B
解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“He thinks that ... demand for new plays.”可知,David Crystal (大卫·克里斯特尔)认为这些奇怪的单词和短语始于16世纪末和17世纪初。这对戏剧来说是一个伟大的时代,莎士比亚和其他作家努力满足对新剧的需求。由此可推知,剧院也同时受到了大众的欢迎,从而激发了人们发明新词。incentive意为“启发,激发”。故选B。
4.What is the tone of the author in writing the article?
A.Serious. B.Anxious.
C.Indifferent. D.Humorous.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“For example ... use a public toilet.(例如,‘花一分钱’的意思是使用卫生间。它指的是人们必须花一分钱才能使用公共厕所的日子。)”以及全文可知,作者在文中使用了诙谐的单词,举了一些有趣的例子。由此可推知,作者用幽默的语气写的这篇文章。故选D。
Ⅱ 完形填空
I started learning English at the age of 22 in 1995, which is late to start studying a language.
I joined a __1__ to study English. I needed to get a TOEFL score of 550 to study in the USA. It was a __2__ task for me as a beginner. At the end of the program, I took the TOEFL and I __3__ it.

So I __11__ one of the phones and called my hotel. I was trying to explain my __12__ with my broken English. Finally, I __13__ to understand that there were direct hotel buses from the airport. It was at that moment that I felt successful in learning English because I was able to __14__.

篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在22岁时开始学习英语的经历,以及他在学习英语过程中所遇到的挑战和成功。
1.A.party B.game
C.college D.program
答案:D
解析:party 派对;game 游戏;college 大学;program 项目。根据下文“At the end of the program, I took the TOEFL and I __3__ it.”可知,作者参加了一个学习英语的项目。故选D。
2.A.valuable B.challenging
C.necessary D.different
答案:B
解析:valuable 有价值的;challenging 具有挑战性的;necessary 必要的;different 不同的。根据上文“I needed to get a TOEFL score of 550 to study in the USA.”和下文“as a beginner”可知,作者是初学者,所以托福成绩达到550分去美国学习是具有挑战性的。故选B。
3.A.made B.knew

 精深阅读
A tree has roots. People have roots too. If you get to the root of a problem, you will solve it. It's the same thing with words. Dig deeply into a big, unfamiliar word and you will understand where it came from.
As readers, especially those reading in a second language, we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives (侦探) looking for information to unlock the unknown. Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means.
As you know, prefixes (前缀) and suffixes (后缀) can be added to the beginning or end of words to change the meaning. Know them, and you will have the word building power. But root words are the key. Take time to learn a few of these, put them in your memory, and you will become a master word detective.
Let's look at one common root word used in English. “Alter” from the Latin (拉丁语的) word means “other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with “other”. Examine the word “alternate”. Can you find the Latin root in it?
If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are alternating paying.
If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays, you go on one Saturday, but not the other Saturday.
If you have no alternative, you have no other choice.
Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying. Then use your “rooting for words” skills. Like any new skill, practice and hard work are always paid back.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章强调了词根的重要性,并举例说明了如何通过词根理解词汇的意义。
1.If Jim and Lily go to the movies, which one below is “alternating paying”?
A.Jim pays every time.
B.They each pay half.
C.They take turns paying.
D.Their parents pay for them.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据文章中“ If you and your friend ... alternating paying.”可知,如果你和你的朋友喜欢出去吃饭,这次你付钱,下次你的朋友付钱,你们就是交替支付。由此可推知,如果Jim (杰姆)和Lily (莉莉)去看电影,alternating paying指的就是“他们轮流付钱”。故选C。
2.How does the author explain his ideas about root words?
A.By giving a fact.
B.By taking an example.
C.By telling a story.
D.By having a discussion.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知,作者列举了词根“Alter”来说明词根对词汇学习的重要性。由此可推知,作者是通过举例的方式来阐述他对词根的观点。故选B。
3.“Sen” from the Latin word means “old”. Which word uses this Latin root?
A.My brother is my senior by two years.
B.He was ill so he was absent from school.
C.A criminal was sentenced to death by law.
D.60 students were present at the sports meeting.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知,更大的词汇和它的拉丁语词根相关。题干告知我们拉丁语词根“Sen”的意思是“年老的;年纪大的”,由此可推知,senior意为“较年长的人;长者”,使用了拉丁语词根“Sen”。故选A。
4.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
(①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2 ... )
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。第一段提出研究词根的重要性;第二段通过类比来说明如何利用词根来分析词义;第三段和第四段是并列关系,用举例的方式说明如何通过词根来分析词义,且与第二段构成并列关系;最后一段是对全文内容的总结。故选B。

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages do not just have different sounds. They are different in many ways. It's important to master the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener can't understand the speakers' sentences easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change. Let's see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”
“I've seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speakers do.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了学习英语时应避免逐字翻译,要理解词语顺序、语言精髓和用法,像英语母语者一样灵活运用语言。
1.What can we know from the passage when we are learning English?
A.We shouldn't put every word into our own language.
B.We should look up every word in the dictionary.
C.We need to put every word into our own language.
D.We must read word by word.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When you are ... into your own language.”可知,当我们学习英语的时候,我们不应该把每个单词都用自己的语言表达出来。故选A。
2.How does the writer think in learning English?
A.Difficult to understand different sounds.
B.Possible to remember the word order.
C.Important to master the rules in different ways.
D.Easy to master the rules for word order.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Languages do not ... the study of English, too.”可知,作者认为在学习英语的过程中掌握不同的规则是很重要的。故选C。
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A.The meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words.
B.The order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence.
C.Sometimes different order of words has a different meaning.
D.If the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Sometimes when the order ... the sentence changes.”可推知,有时候不同的词序会有不同的意思。故选C。
4.Which is the best title for this passage?
A.Different Orders, Different Meanings
B.How to Speak English?
C.How to Put English into Our Own Language?
D.How to Learn English?
答案:D
解析:标题判断题。文章主要说明了学习英语时避免逐字翻译,要理解词语顺序、语言精髓和用法,像英语母语者一样灵活运用语言。因此,D项(如何学习英语?)最适合作为文章标题。故选D。

课后课时作业
较易题(占比70%) 中档题(占比30%) 拔高题(占比0%)
Ⅰ 阅读
Learning any language is hard, but learning English can be especially challenging. Why? Because native speakers use the language in ways that textbooks could never describe. In particular, words that British people use cause many language students to scratch their heads.
题号 Ⅰ Ⅱ Ⅲ
难度 ★★ ★ ★
Here's an example: You overhear a Briton calling someone a “wazzock”. But what exactly is a wazzock? This word, in fact, means a foolish person, although there's nothing about it that would help you guess that. There are many strange terms like this in British English—the Oxford English Dictionary would be much smaller without these odd usages filling its pages.
How can these odd words be explained? Part of the answer is the British sense of humor. Britons don't like to take things too seriously, and this is evident through many British words and phrases. For example, to “spend a penny” means to use the bathroom. It refers to the days when people had to pay a penny to use a public toilet.
In an interview for the BBC's website, British linguist David Crystal suggested there may be historical reasons for the large number of odd words and phrases in British English. He thinks that they began in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This was a great age for the theater, when Shakespeare and other writers worked hard to keep up with the demand for new plays. The theater's popularity also created an incentive to invent new words. With this in mind, perhaps Shakespeare and his peers are to blame for unusual British words such as “codswallop” and “balderdash”—which both, mean “nonsense”.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英式英语中出现大量奇怪单词的原因。
While these strange words may be confusing to non native speakers, they certainly make studying English a lot more interesting.
1.According to the text, why may non native speakers find it more challenging to learn English?
A.Dictionaries are too complicated to understand.
B.The English vocabulary is too large for them to learn.
C.A large number of strange expressions confuse them.
D.The English textbooks they use are usually out of date.
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Because native speakers ... scratch their heads.(因为母语为英语的人使用这种语言的方式是教科书无法描述的。特别是英国人使用的单词,让许多语言专业的学生挠头。)”可推知,母语为非英语的人之所以会觉得学英语更具有挑战性是因为许多奇怪的表达让他们觉得非常困惑。故选C。
2.With the example of the Oxford English Dictionary in Paragraph 2, the author intends to ________.
A.stress the large number of strange terms
B.explain the origin of the strange phrases
C.show British people's attitude towards odd phrases
D.show the usefulness of the Oxford English Dictionary
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“There are many ... filling its pages.”可知,英式英语中有很多奇怪的术语,如果没有这些奇怪的用法充斥其中,《牛津英语词典》的篇幅就会小得多。由此可推知,第二段以《牛津英语词典》为例,是为了强调英语词汇中有大量奇怪的术语。故选A。
3.Which of the following words has the similar meaning to the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 4?
A.Concern. B.Inspiration.
C.Application. D.Opinion.
解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“He thinks that ... demand for new plays.”可知,David Crystal (大卫·克里斯特尔)认为这些奇怪的单词和短语始于16世纪末和17世纪初。这对戏剧来说是一个伟大的时代,莎士比亚和其他作家努力满足对新剧的需求。由此可推知,剧院也同时受到了大众的欢迎,从而激发了人们发明新词。incentive意为“启发,激发”。故选B。
4.What is the tone of the author in writing the article?
A.Serious. B.Anxious.
C.Indifferent. D.Humorous.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“For example ... use a public toilet.(例如,‘花一分钱’的意思是使用卫生间。它指的是人们必须花一分钱才能使用公共厕所的日子。)”以及全文可知,作者在文中使用了诙谐的单词,举了一些有趣的例子。由此可推知,作者用幽默的语气写的这篇文章。故选D。

精深阅读
As readers, especially those reading in a second language, we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives (侦探) looking for information to unlock the unknown. Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means.
As you know, prefixes (前缀) and suffixes (后缀) can be added to the beginning or end of words to change the meaning. Know them, and you will have the word building power. But root words are the key. Take time to learn a few of these, put them in your memory, and you will become a master word detective.
Let's look at one common root word used in English. “Alter” from the Latin (拉丁语的) word means “other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with “other”. Examine the word “alternate”. Can you find the Latin root in it?
If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are alternating paying.
If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays, you go on one Saturday, but not the other Saturday.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章强调了词根的重要性,并举例说明了如何通过词根理解词汇的意义。
If you have no alternative, you have no other choice.
Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying. Then use your “rooting for words” skills. Like any new skill, practice and hard work are always paid back.
1.If Jim and Lily go to the movies, which one below is “alternating paying”?
A.Jim pays every time.
B.They each pay half.
C.They take turns paying.
D.Their parents pay for them.
解析:推理判断题。根据文章中“ If you and your friend ... alternating paying.”可知,如果你和你的朋友喜欢出去吃饭,这次你付钱,下次你的朋友付钱,你们就是交替支付。由此可推知,如果Jim (杰姆)和Lily (莉莉)去看电影,alternating paying指的就是“他们轮流付钱”。故选C。
2.How does the author explain his ideas about root words?
A.By giving a fact.

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.

Languages do not just have different sounds. They are different in many ways. It's important to master the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener can't understand the speakers' sentences easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change. Let's see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”
