Do you want to find out how you can learn a new language quickly There are really no secrets. You just need to be willing to work hard and not be afraid to make mistakes. 1.
Connect with a native speaker.
The best way to learn a new language is to speak it. Too often,people spend all of their time studying grammar and memorising lists of words. 2. You’ll feel much more motivated about learning the language than staring at a book or computer screen.
3.
People often have claimed to have studied a language “for five years” and still not be fluent. But when they say five years,they probably mean that they studied the language for only a couple of hours a week over that entire time period.Let’s get one thing clear:If you want to learn a new language successfully,you’re going to have to study the language every day.
Carry a dictionary at all times.
Carrying a dictionary with you will save you a lot of time.4. It can be an actual,physical dictionary,or a dictionary APP on your phone—you just need to be able to consult it quickly whenever you need a word.
Watch,listen,read and write in your chosen language.
Possibly the easiest thing you can do is watch television shows or movies in the language you are trying to learn. You should also attempt to read and write in your new language. Besides,download podcasts (播客) or tune in to radio stations in your new language. 5. You can try to repeat or retell a sentence,a paragraph or the whole text in your own language.
A.Learn the language daily.
B.So get one as soon as possible!
C.The following tips may help you.
D.Speaking with a real,live person will help you.
E.Reading is of great importance in language learning.
F.A big dictionary may be inconvenient for you to use at any time.
G.This is a great way to immerse (使沉浸于) yourself in the language while you’re on the go.

语言是人类联系的显著象征。尽管人们持有多样的态度,表达出不同的需求,它应该基于平等的原则。我们常常提及不同的语言形式。无论我们遇到哪一种,我们都应该欣赏其独特的魅力,并且在交流和文化表达中尊重它的平等价值。

语法微专题5 定语从句(二)
Over the years,the system developed into different forms,as it was a time when people were divided geographically,leading to many varieties of dialects and characters.
Emperor Qinshihuang united the seven major states into one unified country where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction.
There are many reasons why this has been possible,but one of the main factors has been the Chinese writing system.
It dates back several thousand years to the use of longgu—animal bones and shells on which symbols were carved by ancient Chinese people.
Written Chinese has also become an important means by which China’s present is connected with its past.
同学们,你们能发现这些句子中的加粗部分有什么特点吗 它们起什么作用
一、关系副词引导的定语从句
当先行词在定语从句中作状语,即定语从句不缺主语、宾语或者表语时,通常要用关系副词引导定语从句。常用的关系副词有where,when,why。关系副词的指代及功能如下:
关系副词 先行词 功能
when 表示时间的名词 时间状语
where 表示地点的名词 地点状语
why reason 原因状语
1.关系副词when引导定语从句时,先行词应是表示时间的名词,关系副词在从句中作时间状语。相当于“介词in/at/on/during...+which”结构。常见的表示时间的名词有time、hour、day、year、moment、occasion(时刻)、age(年代)、period(阶段)、stage(时期)、interval(间隙)等。
I will never forget the day when/on which I first saw you.
我永远不会忘记我第一次见到你的日子。
I’ll never forget the days when/in which I studied in the classroom.
我永远不会忘记我在教室里学习的那些日子。
Occasions are quite rare when I have the time to spend a day with my kids.
我有时间和孩子们待一天的机会很少。
若时间名词后面的定语从句的关系词在从句中作主语或宾语,则定语从句改用which或that引导。
Do you remember the days which/that we spent together on the farm
你还记得我们在农场一起度过的那些日子吗 (which/that作spent的宾语)
[语境运用] 句子语法填空
Do you still remember the day we took the first aid course
I’ll never forget the day I spent with my cousins in the mountains.
【答案】 when which/that
2.关系副词where引导定语从句时,先行词应是表示地点或抽象地点的名词,关系副词在从句中作地点状语。相当于“介词in/at/on...+which”结构。常见的表示抽象地点的名词有situation、point、case、position、condition、occasion等。
The school where/in which my son studies is near a park.
我儿子就读的学校靠近公园。
It came to a point where I had to make a decision.
事情到了我必须做出决定的地步。
若地点名词后面的定语从句的关系词在从句中作主语或宾语,则定语从句改用which或that引导。
The school which/that we visited yesterday is newly built.
我们昨天参观的那所学校是新建的。(which/that作visited的宾语)
[语境运用] 句子语法填空
The stadium the athletes work out is not far from here.
After living in Nanjing for 20 years,he returned to the town he grew up as a child.
【答案】 where where
3.关系副词why引导定语从句时,先行词常为reason,关系副词在从句中作原因状语。相当于“for+which”结构。
Do you know the reason why/for which he got up so early yesterday
你知道他昨天起个大早的原因吗
Helping an old man on the way to school is the reason why/for which he was late for school last Wednesday.
上学路上帮助一位老人是他上周三上学迟到的原因。
若reason后的定语从句的关系词在从句中作主语或宾语,则定语从句改用which或that
引导。
Do you want to know the reason why/for which he always gets full marks in maths examinations
你想知道他在数学考试中总是得满分的原因吗 (why作原因状语)
I won’t listen to the reason which/that you have given us.
我坚决不听你告诉我们的那个理由。(定语从句中缺少宾语,所以用which/that,不用why)
[语境运用] 句子语法填空
The reason he gave at the meeting was unbelievable.
I don’t know the reason the athlete gave up halfway through the competition.
【答案】 that/which why
二、“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句
关系代词作介词的宾语时,为了使关系代词与先行词的关系更加紧凑,可以将从句中的介词提到关系代词前,形成“介词+关系代词”结构。该结构中的关系代词可用which或whom。
1.介词的选用。
(1)根据与定语从句中动词所需要的某种习惯搭配来确定。
He bought a beautiful house on which he spent all his money.
他花掉所有的积蓄买了一套漂亮的房子。
Since I was a little child,I’ve been friends with diary with whom I can share my deepest feelings.
从孩时起,我和日记就一直是朋友,我可以和它分享我最深的感受。
(2)根据定语从句中形容词与介词的搭配而定。
The West Lake for which Hangzhou is famous is a beautiful place.
西湖,杭州以其而闻名,是一个美丽的地方。
Mr Wang for whom I was grateful encouraged me to have a positive attitude to challenges in life.
我很感激王先生,他鼓励我在面对生活中的挑战时保持积极的态度。
(3)根据与先行词搭配的具体含义而定。
He will never forget the day on which they once stayed together.
他永远也忘不了他们曾一起待过的那一天。
(4)根据所表达的意思来确定。
The colorless gas without which we can’t live is called oxygen.
这种无色的气体就是氧气,离了它我们无法生存。
①某些在从句中充当时间、地点或原因状语的“介词+关系代词”结构可以同关系副词when、where和why互换。
I still remember the time when (=during which) I was in college.
我仍然记得我上大学的那段时光。
This is the hotel where (=in which) they stayed.
这就是他们待过的旅馆。
This is the reason why (=for which) he left in a hurry.
这就是他匆匆离去的原因。
②有些“动词+介词”短语,如look for、look after、send for、call on、come across、long for等,不可拆开把介词置于关系代词之前。
The doctor that you sent for has not come.
你派人去请的医生还没来。
[语境运用] 一句多译
这是那本我花了五元钱买的书。
【答案】 This is the book on which I spent 5 yuan.
This is the book for which I paid 5 yuan.
2.关系代词的选择。
“介词+关系代词”既可以引导限制性定语从句,也可以引导非限制性定语从句。在此结构中,先行词指人时,关系代词用whom,不能用who/that;先行词指物时,关系代词用which,不能用that。
This is the student for whom I bought a book.
这就是我给买了一本书的那个学生。
I’ll never forget the farm on which I spent my childhood in the country.
我永远不会忘记我在乡村度过童年时光的那个农场。

【答案】 where

2.(2024·新高考全国Ⅰ卷)The problem: the roads there went through large valleys I’d be riding uphill for miles at a time.
【答案】 where
【解析】 考查定语从句。先行词large valleys表地点,从句描述在山谷里骑行状况,缺地点状语,用where引导定语从句修饰large valleys。故填where。
3.(2023·浙江1月卷)There’s never a stage which the system knows what it’s talking about.
【答案】 at
【解析】 考查定语从句。先行词stage与at搭配,表“在……阶段”,at which引导定语从句,在从句中作状语。故填at。
4.(2023·浙江1月卷)As my car neared it,my thoughts drifted back to the moment I rescued the hummingbird from the spider’s web.

【答案】 when
【解析】 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词为the time,表示时间;从句中缺少时间状语,故填when。

How would you translate Chairman Mao Zedong’s expression “Bu Ai Hong Zhuang Ai Wu Zhuang” “English or American translators might use the words:They love uniforms not dresses,” said Xu Yuanchong,a well-known Chinese translator and the first Asian winner of the world’s highest prize for translation,the Aurora Borealis Prize.Xu thought that this translation was correct but not beautiful at all.He cleverly used just two words—“face” and “powder”—to translate it as “To face the powder and not to powder the face”,which became one of Xu’s most representative translations.
Xu thought that the equivalence(相同) of idea,sound and form was the three basic elements found in good translation.However,his method—recreation instead of literal(字面的)—is controversial.Some people said that it was different from the original text.“I think not.”Xu replied firmly.“Western languages are comparable.It’s easy to find the equivalent of English in other languages.But it’s different in Chinese.There are only 50% of equivalents between Chinese and English.If you cannot find an equivalent,then you must find the best words to translate.To find the best word is innovation.It’s recreation,” he explained.
Xu Yuanchong likes to communicate with the younger generation about academic work,hoping that working together to spread Chinese culture will contribute to making the world a better place.
Xu Yuanchong also authored a book,which in Chinese is called “Meng Yu Zhen”,which literally means “dream and reality”.But Xu created a different English name for it.He used “A dream translated into reality”.“This summarises my entire life.My whole life is about translating my dream into reality,” he explained.
Xu Yuanchong was an expert at translating ancient Chinese poems into English and French but even at the age of 96 had one dream still to fulfill—to translate all of Shakespeare’s works into Chinese.

I love learning foreign languages.In fact,I love it so much that I like to learn a new language every two years.I am currently working on my eighth one.
When people find that out about me,they always ask,“What’s your secret ” They want to know why they spend years learning even one language,never achieving fluency.They also want to know the secret of polyglots (通晓数种语言的人).And that makes me wonder,too. How do other polyglots do it What do we have in common I decided to meet other people like me and find that out.
I met Benny from Ireland,who told me that his method is to start speaking from day one.He learns a few phrases from a travel phrasebook and then goes to meet native speakers and starts having conversations with them right away.He doesn’t mind even if he makes 200 mistakes a day,because that’s how he learns,based on the feedback (反馈).
I also met polyglots who always start by imitating the sounds of the language,others who always learn the 500 most frequent words,and yet others who always start by reading about the grammar.If I asked a hundred different polyglots,I would hear a hundred different approaches to learning languages.Everybody seems to have a unique method to learn a language,and yet we all achieve the same result of speaking several languages fluently.
And as I was listening to these polyglots telling me about their methods,I suddenly realized that the one thing we all have in common is that we have simply found our own ways to enjoy the language learning process.We are no geniuses and we have no shortcuts to learning languages.We simply found ways to enjoy the process,to turn language learning from a boring school subject into a pleasant activity which we don’t mind doing every day.

( )2.How does Benny learn foreign languages
[A]By practising grammar rules.
[B]By memorizing common words.
[C]By talking with native speakers.
[D]By imitating the sounds of languages.
【答案】 C

[A]They achieve success in schools.
[B]They have great talent for language.
[C]They are not afraid of making mistakes.
[D]They find joy from the learning process.

( )4.What is the best title for the text
[A]The Secrets of Learning a New Language
[B]Different Approaches to Learning English
[C]Why Do Humans Speak so Many Languages
[D]How Should We Start Learning English at School

If you want to become a fluent English speaker,you should take some advice:There are four skills in learning English.They are listening,speaking,reading and writing.The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills,you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can.But your reading must be active.It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences,the meaning of the unfamiliar words,etc.
There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you encounter,but the fact you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them,for example in other passages or books,is enough.It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening,there are two choices:Besides reading,you can listen every day for about 30 minutes.You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening.Since you have lots of inputs in your mind,you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say.This never means that you should not practise listening.
For listening,you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children.Their languages are easy.Or if you are good at listening,you can listen to English programs every day.Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice,your speaking and writing will improve automatically,and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.
