Unit 2 English around the world
英语是世界上使用最广泛的语言之一,那么它是怎样成为世界性语言的呢?让我们一起来看看下文吧!
English is a language spoken all around the world. There are more than 42 countries where most people speak English. In total (总计), for more than 375 million people, English is their mother tongue. An equal (相同的) number of people learn English as a second language. These people will perhaps speak the language of their own country at home with their family, but the language of the government, schools, newspapers and TV is English. This situation is found in countries such as India,Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines.
However, the number of people who learn English as a foreign language is more than 750 million. In China students learn English at school as a foreign language, except for those in Hong Kong, where many people speak English as a first or a second language.
English is the working language of most international organizations, international trade (贸易) and tourism. Businessmen and tourists often come to China without being able to speak Chinese. Chinese businessmen, taxi drivers and students talk with them using English. English is also the language of global (全球的) culture, such as popular music and the Internet. You can listen to English songs on the radio or use English to communicate with people around the world through the Internet.

Reading
THE ROAD TO MODERN ENGLISH
At the end of① the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke English. Nearly all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages② to conquer③ other parts of the world 【1】and because of④ that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today,more people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before.
【1】动词不定式短语to conquer other parts of the world为目的状语。
Native⑤ English speakers can understand each other even if they don't speak the same kind of English【2】. Look at this example:
【2】even if在此引导让步状语从句。
British Betty:Would you like to see my flat⑥?
American Amy:Yes. I'd like to come up⑦ to your apartment⑧.
So why has English changed over time⑨? Actually⑩ all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other 【3】. At first? the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150【4】 was very different from the English spoken today.
It was based? more on German than the English we speak at present?【5】. Then gradually? between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled? England spoke first Danish and later French. 【6】 These new settlers? enriched? the English language and especially its vocabulary?. So by the 1600's Shakespeare was able to make use of? a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too. English began to be spoken in both countries.
【3】when引导时间状语从句,从句中and连接两个并列的谓语动词meet和communicate。
【4】过去分词短语spoken... and 1150作后置定语,修饰the English。
【5】we speak at present为省略了关系词that/which的定语从句,修饰先行词the English,关系词在从句中作宾语,故可省略。
【6】because引导原因状语从句,从句中who ruled England为who引导的定语从句,修饰先行词those。
Finally by the 19th century the language was settled?. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English Language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.
English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language for government and education. English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa. Today the number of people learning English in China 【7】 is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners. Will Chinese English develop its own identity? Only time will tell.
【7】现在分词短语learning English in China作后置定语,修饰people,该短语可转换为定语从句who are learning English in China。
通向现代英语之路
16世纪末,大约有500万到700万人说英语。他们几乎都生活在英国。后来,在17世纪,英国人开始出海远航以征服世界其他地区;于是,许多其他国家开始说英语。如今说英语的人比以往任何时候都多了,他们有的是作为第一语言来说,有的是作为第二语言或外语。
以英语作为母语的人,即使他们所讲的语言不尽相同,也可以相互理解。请看这个例子:
英国人贝蒂:你要去看看我的公寓吗?
美国人艾米:好的,我很乐意到你的公寓去。
那么,随着时间的推移,英语为什么会变化呢?事实上,当不同文化互相交流渗透时,所有的语言都会有所变化、有所发展的。起初,大约在公元450年到公元1150年之间,英国人所说的英语与他们现在所说的英语有很大的不同。当时的英语更多地是以德语为基础,而我们今天所说的英语不是。然后,渐渐地,大约在公元800年到公元1150年之间,英语就不那么像德语了,因为那些统治英国的人起初讲丹麦语,后来又讲法语。这些新的移民丰富了英语这门语言,尤其是英语词汇。所以到17世纪,莎士比亚所用的词汇量比以前任何时期都大。1620年,一些英国移民到了美洲。后来在18世纪,也有一些英国人被带到了澳大利亚。(于是)这两个国家的人开始说英语。
最后到19世纪,这种语言定型了。那时,英语在拼写上发生了两大变化:首先塞缪尔·约翰逊编写了词典,后来,诺厄·韦伯斯特编纂了《美国英语词典》。后者体现了美国英语拼写的不同特色。
如今英语在南亚也被当作外语或第二语言来使用。例如,印度拥有众多讲英语很流利的人,因为英国在1765年到1947年间统治着印度。在那期间,英语成了政府使用的语言和教育用语。在新加坡、马来西亚和非洲的一些国家(如南非),人们也说英语。如今,在中国,学英语的人的数量在迅速增多。事实上,中国或许是世界上英语学习者最多的国家。中国式英语会形成自己的特征吗?这个问题只能由时间来回答了。

[核心素养链接·文化采风]
对美国人来说,让单词拼写变得简单的是一位叫诺厄·韦伯斯特的人,他因其所著的《美国英语词典》而为人所知。该词典于1828年首次出版。它引进了许多新的美式英语单词,并且带有它们的发音、用法和新的拼法。英国人批评这本词典,但它很快成了美国的标准参考书。今天,韦伯斯特的词典仍是美国学生的首选词典。
课时作业(五) Unit 2 Section Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading — Pre-reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
English has surely become the global language. Whenever we turn on the news to find out what's happening in East Asia, or Africa, or anywhere, people are being interviewed (采访) and telling us about it in English.
If people look at the facts about the amazing reach of the English language, many would be surprised. English is used in over 90 countries as an official or semi-official language. English is the working language of many international institutes (研究所) as well as of most international research scientists. It is also the language that Indian parents and black parents wish their children to learn. It is believed that over one billion people worldwide are now learning English.
One of the most important causes of the spread of English around the world is that Europeans are willing to accept it as their language. English is spreading from northern Europe to the south and is now the second language in countries such as Sweden, Norway, Netherlands and Denmark. If one visits any of them, it would seem that almost everyone there can talk in English.
Recently, a report said that at the beginning of 2001, English was the most widely known foreign language with 43% of Europeans saying they spoke it. The report also said that with over 89% of the population speaking English, Sweden now has the highest percentage of English speakers. What's more, English is the language rated as most useful to know and over 77% of Europeans who do not speak English as their first language consider it useful.

4.What does the underlined word “rated” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Stood. B.Agreed.
C.Considered. D.Argued.

B
Everyone knows about New Year's Eve and Independence Day. But did you know that there are enough holidays to fill every day of the year? Here are just a few we found interesting.
World Hello Day
To celebrate this day, say hello to at least ten different people. World Hello Day began in the autumn of 1973, shortly after the end of a war in the Middle East. Brian and Michael McCormack of Omaha. Nebraska, wondered what they could do to encourage world peace. They felt the best way was by getting people to talk with one another.
The McCormacks sent letters to the leaders of every country in the world about the first World Hello Day. They wrote the letters in as many different languages as they could. Officials wrote back from sixteen countries and encouraged Brian and Michael to make World Hello Day a yearly event. The holiday has been held on the third Sunday of November every year since. The McCormacks have received letters from many famous people congratulating them for their efforts.
International Day of the Seal (海豹)
March 22 is the official International Day of the Seal. But the National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C., and many other zoos and research centers around the world celebrate this holiday on the third weekend of March. The holiday was created to tell people about the dangers seals face from pollution and fishing nets.
At the National Zoological Park, you can find out how seals live and ways to help protect their habitats (栖息地).
Do it! Day
Are you a procrastinator? Here's a day to finish all those things you've been meaning to do. Do It! Day is celebrated on the first Wednesday in September. “The whole idea is to feel good about getting things done,” says the founder of Do It! Day, Ethel Cook. She came up with the idea as part of her work helping businesses get organized. Cook hopes everyone will turn their Do Its into Did Its.
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一些有趣的节日。
5.World Hello Day was set to ________.
A.create peace worldwide
B.stop the war in the Middle East

A.By reporting it on TV.

8.The underlined word “procrastinator” in the last paragraph refers to a person who ________.
A.cleans up things quickly
B.puts off things until later
C.always comes up with good ideas
D.feels good about getting things done
答案与解析:B 词义猜测题。根据Do it! Day中的“Here's a day to finish all those things you've been meaning to do.”可知,行动日就是让有拖延症的人赶紧完成他们未完成的事情,故procrastinator指“做事拖延的人”。
Ⅱ.阅读填句

Thankfulness
It's easy to take the good things in life without thinking about them or showing you're thankful. __3__ An easy way to do this is to make a list before bed of five things you're thankful for. They can be big things, like your family and friends, or little things, like a good hair day.

2.E E项中的get something good和上文中的“help us to relax and feel good, make us feel more confident”相呼应;“moving a little bit”和下文中的“go for a walk, dance around your room or hit a park”相呼应。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
I was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn't be late for! I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries. A PhD student without a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this date.
We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile — warm and reassuring — and I returned her_gift by smiling back.
“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said.
“Yes, she's special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out.
“It's only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she's ‘the one’.” Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can't figure out why she'd want to date a guy like me.”
“Well, I think she's very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said. “My husband used to bring me flowers every week — even when times were tough and we didn't have much money. Those were incredible (难以置信的) days; he was very romantic and — of course — I miss him since he's passed away.”
I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.
It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just bought. “You have a wonderful evening,” I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.
I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her — that was the night that I won her heart.

When people use words and expressions⑥ different from the “standard language”【4】, it is called a dialect. American English has many dialects, especially the midwestern⑦, southern⑧, African⑨ American and Spanish⑩ dialects. Even in some parts of the USA, two people from neighbouring? towns speak a little differently. American English has so many dialects because people have come from all over the world.
【4】when引导时间状语从句,形容词短语different from the “standard language”作后置定语,修饰前面的words and expressions。
Geography also plays a part in? making dialects. Some people who live in the mountains of the eastern? USA【5】 speak with an older kind of English dialect. When Americans moved from one place to another, they took their dialects with them. So people from the mountains in the southeastern? USA speak with almost the same dialect as? people in the northwestern? USA【6】. The USA is a large country in which many different dialects are spoken【7】. Although many Americans move a lot【8】, they still recognize? and understand each other's dialects.
【5】who在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词Some people。
【6】此处as为关系代词,引导定语从句,修饰先行词dialect。USA后省略了speak with。
【7】in which属于“介词+关系代词”,引导定语从句,修饰先行词a large country。
【8】Although引导让步状语从句。
标准英语和方言
什么是标准英语?是英国、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、印度和新西兰人所说的英语吗?信不信由你,(世界上)没有什么标准英语。许多人认为,电视上和收音机里(播音员)所说的就是标准英语。这是因为在早期的电台节目里,人们期望新闻播音员英语说得很好。然而,在电视和收音机里,你也会听出人们的说话方式是有差别的。
当人们用不同于“标准语言”的单词和表达方式时,那种语言就被称为方言。美式英语有许多方言,特别是中西部和南部地区的方言,以及非裔美国人和西班牙人的方言。甚至在美国的一些地区,相邻两个城镇的人所说的方言也稍有不同。美式英语之所以有这么多的方言是因为那里的人来自世界各地。
地理位置对方言的产生也有影响。住在美国东部山区的一些人就说着一种比较古老的英语方言。当美国人从一个地方搬到另一个地方时,他们也就把他们的方言带了过去。因此,美国东南部山区的人同美国西北部地区的人所说的方言几乎是一样的。美国是一个使用多种不同方言的大国。虽然许多美国人经常搬家,但是他们仍然能够辨别并且理解彼此的方言。

在中国,普通话是通用语,而在英国(大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国),虽然名义上没有官方语,但在英语的发展历史中,有一种发音逐渐形成其重要性,成为公认的英语标准发音,这就是Received Pronunciation,简称为RP。

Q:As a non-native English learner, should I learn British English or American English?
A:The truth is that it makes little difference. Why? Because we can read works written in either American English or British without too much trouble, and understand each other perfectly well as long as we don't use too much colloquial slang(口语俚语). They are the same language — both are still English.
The main differences are in vocabulary for some everyday things. However, most Americans know what trousers are, and Britons and Australians know that “pants” are trousers in an American book or movie. And there are a few small spelling differences. There are some very small grammar differences, but these are too small — most of them will probably not even be noticed. I'm British, and I often read books written in American English, as well as British English. To tell you the truth, I hardly notice the differences.
If you want to learn English and use it internationally, learn both kinds. It's not difficult — just a few extra words or spelling differences to learn. It's good to know how English speakers from all over the world use the language, no matter where they come from. You might need to know that American English is used mainly in North America, but British English is the standard English in the rest of the English-speaking world, including Britain's old colonies(殖民地) — Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore, India, Malaysia, Hong Kong, etc.
Even “British English” is a bit of a misnomer (用词错误),since there is no real standard way of speaking English in the UK.Some people confuse “British English” with the accent called RP(Received Pronunciation), but they aren't the same thing. British English is only a standard, not an accent. RP is only one accent in the UK. Few speak it. Other dialects are widely spoken in the UK today.
【语篇解读】 作者认为英式英语和美式英语的区别不是很大,二者都学会也不是很难。
5.The author most probably finds American colloquial slang ________.
A.strange B.helpful
C.difficult D.interesting
答案与解析:C 推理判断题。根据回答部分第一段的“understand each other perfectly well as long as we don't use too much colloquial slang.”可推断,作者觉得口语俚语不好懂。
6.What does the example of “trousers”and “pants”show?
A.Some differences are easy to notice.
B.Differences in vocabulary are common.
C.One thing can be called different names.
D.Americans and Britons can understand each other.
答案与解析:D 推理判断题。根据回答部分第二段的“However, most Americans know what trousers are, and Britons and Australians know that ‘pants’ are trousers in an American book or movie.”可知,作者是想表明美国人和英国人能够听懂彼此说的话。
7.What can we learn about Received Pronunciation?
A.It is not an accent.
B.It is British English.
C.It is often used in the US.
D.It isn't widely used in Britain.
答案与解析:D 推理判断题。根据回答部分第四段的“British English is only a standard, not an accent. RP is only one accent in the UK. Few speak it.”可知,这种方言用的人少。
8.The author would most probably agree that ________.
A.colloquial slang shouldn't be used often
B.British people find it hard to understand Americans
C.British English and American English don't differ too much
D.people should learn British English instead of American English
答案与解析:C 推理判断题。根据回答部分第一段的“The truth is that it makes little difference.”以及第二段的“To tell you the truth I hardly notice the differences.”可知,作者觉得美式英语跟英式英语之间的差别不大。
Ⅲ.语法填空

【语篇解读】 文章介绍了印度英雄甘地的生平事迹。
1.as 考查介词。句意:甘地,一位印度民族英雄,被尊称为“印度之父”。as在此意为“作为”。
2.married 考查固定搭配。marry是动词,意为“(和某人)结婚,娶,嫁”。由空前的got 可知,此处应用married。get/be married意为“结婚”。
3.where 考查定语从句。“__3__he studied law for three years and became a lawyer”是定语从句,修饰先行词England,关系词在从句中作地点状语,故用关系副词where引导从句。
4.surprised 考查形容词。was后跟形容词作表语,且此处表述人的感受,应用surprised,意为“惊讶的”。
5.for 考查介词。句意:在那里他成立了一个组织,开办了一份杂志,为获得平等的权利而斗争。fight for ...意为“为……而战”。
6.when 考查定语从句。“__6__India was controlled by the British”是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词1915,关系词在从句中作时间状语,故用关系副词when。
7.including 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,Indians与include之间是主谓关系,故用现在分词作后置定语。此处表示包括甘地在内的很多印度人被投入监狱。
8.However 考查副词。在政治运动中,包括甘地在内的很多印度人被投入监狱。但是,斗争从未停止过。该空和主句用逗号隔开,故填副词However表转折。
9.in 考查介词。由下文印度获得独立可知,英国政府投降了。give in意为“屈服,让步”,是固定短语。
10.Unfortunately 考查副词。句意:不幸的是,甘地遭到一个反对他的观点的印度人的射杀,于1948年1月30日去世。修饰整个句子应用副词,再结合句意可知,应填Unfortunately。

[语法详解]
1.祈使句的直接引语变间接引语,祈使句的间接引语形式多采用“动词+宾语+动词不定式”结构。常见的引述动词有ask, tell, beg, warn, remind, advise, order等。
引述表示警告或提醒的祈使句用remind, warn等词转述。
*“Take an umbrella in case of rain.”his mother said to him.
→His mother reminded him to take an umbrella in case of rain.
*The leader said to the workers, “Don't speak while working.”
→The leader warned the workers not to speak while working.
[名师点津]
(1)无论是否定祈使句,还是表示委婉语气的否定疑问句,在变为间接引语时,要用不定式的否定形式:
①引述表示命令的祈使句,变间接引语时常采用ask/tell/order sb.(not) to do sth.的形式。
*“Finish the task in ten minutes.” the manager said to the clerk.
→The manager told the clerk to finish the task in ten minutes.
*“Keep silent!” the chairman said to the students.
→The chairman ordered the students to keep silent.
②当直接引语为表示建议、提议、请求、劝告的祈使句(或表示请求、提议、劝告、建议的疑问句)时,多用suggest+doing/that从句(如suggest后接that从句时,从句使用虚拟语气should+动词原形,should也可省略),及ask/advise/want/beg sb.+to do等结构。
*Mary said, “Let's go to the art exhibition this afternoon.”
→Mary suggested going to the art exhibition that afternoon.
→Mary suggested that we (should) go to the art exhibition that afternoon.
*“Please have a rest.” She said to us.
→She asked us to have a rest.
(2)直接引语中的称呼语变为间接引语时,一般把它当作主句谓语动词的宾语用。
*She said, “Don't make so much noise, children!”
→She told the children not to make so much noise.
2.感叹句的直接引语变间接引语,直接引语为感叹句时,间接引语可用what或how引导,也可以用that引导。
*“What a beautiful dress it is!” the girl said to her friend.
→The girl told her friend what a beautiful dress it was.
“How lovely the girl is!” he said.
→He said how lovely the girl was.,
考情分析
祈使句的直接引语变间接引语是间接引语的考查重点,会结合非谓语动词中的动词不定式考查。
注意:若祈使句中没有称呼语,应根据句子给动词ask, tell, order等补上适当的宾语。
例如:
“Watch carefully,” he said.
→He told us to watch carefully.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Towards the end of Middle English, a sudden change in pronunciation started, with vowels(元音) pronounced shorter and shorter. From the 16th century the British had contact(接触) with many people from around the world. This meant that many new words and phrases entered the language. The invention of printing also meant that there was now a common language in print. Books became cheaper and more people learned to read. Spelling and grammar became fixed, and the dialect of London became the standard. In 1604 the first English dictionary came out.
Early Modern English and Late Modern English are mostly different in the number of words. Late Modern English has many more words, mainly because of the following two reasons: First, the Industrial Revolution(工业革命) led to the need for new words. Second, the British Empire covered one quarter of the earth's surface, and the English language took in foreign words from many countries.
From around 1600, the English colonization(殖民地化)of North America led to American English. Some English pronunciations and words froze when they reached America. In some ways, American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English. Some expressions that are called “Americanisms” are in fact from British expressions. They were kept in the colonies while lost for a time in Britain. Spanish also had an influence on American English. For example, words like canyon, ranch, stampede and vigilante are from Spanish. French words and West African words(through the slave trade) also influenced American English.
Today, American English has a greater influence, because of the USA's movies, television, popular music, trade and technology.

Ⅲ.阅读填句
Taking notes is very important in high school. If you don't take notes, you may find it difficult to go over the lessons. __1__ You need to get some skills in order to take perfect notes. Here are some tips to help you.
Try not to overdo it. Some students like writing down every word. __2__ If you want to write down every word, you may miss the most important points. Some people learn well by listening carefully, writing down a few key points, and then going over the material after class when they have more time. So just make sure that you've written down the most important points.
Ask your teacher to repeat something. __3__ If you've missed something or the teacher is going too fast, you can raise your hand and ask your teacher to repeat it. Chances are if you missed something, one of your classmates might have missed too. So there's nothing wrong with asking for something to be repeated.
__4__ Reviewing or recopying your notes when you get home can help you remember what you have learnt during the day. Do the notes you've taken match up with(匹配) your textbook? You can also compare your notes with a friend. This helps you remember the most important points and can help when preparing for a test or an exam.
Review your notes from time to time. If you don't review your notes, you may forget what you have learned. But if you review your notes regularly, you'll remember well what you've learned. This can help you a lot when you have to take a test or an exam.__5__

3.答案与解析:G 根据第三段的“If you've missed something or the teacher is going too fast, you can raise your hand and ask your teacher to repeat it.”可知,有的同学害怕在课堂上打断老师,但如果你遗漏了重要的知识,或者老师讲得太快了,你可以举手让老师重复。
4.答案与解析:D 根据“Reviewing or recopying your notes when you get home can help you remember what you have learnt during the day.”可知,作者建议当天回家后就要复习那些笔记内容。
5.答案与解析:F 根据“This can help you a lot when you have to take a test or an exam.”可知,定期复习笔记能帮助考试,你不再需要熬夜看笔记了。

课件18张PPT。课时作业(五) Unit 2 Section Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading — Pre-reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
English has surely become the global language. Whenever we turn on the news to find out what's happening in East Asia, or Africa, or anywhere, people are being interviewed (采访) and telling us about it in English.
If people look at the facts about the amazing reach of the English language, many would be surprised. English is used in over 90 countries as an official or semi-official language. English is the working language of many international institutes (研究所) as well as of most international research scientists. It is also the language that Indian parents and black parents wish their children to learn. It is believed that over one billion people worldwide are now learning English.
One of the most important causes of the spread of English around the world is that Europeans are willing to accept it as their language. English is spreading from northern Europe to the south and is now the second language in countries such as Sweden, Norway, Netherlands and Denmark. If one visits any of them, it would seem that almost everyone there can talk in English.
Recently, a report said that at the beginning of 2001, English was the most widely known foreign language with 43% of Europeans saying they spoke it. The report also said that with over 89% of the population speaking English, Sweden now has the highest percentage of English speakers. What's more, English is the language rated as most useful to know and over 77% of Europeans who do not speak English as their first language consider it useful.
【语篇解读】 英语是当代国际交往中使用最广泛的语言,它已经成为全球性的语言。

答案与解析:D 细节理解题。第一段中的“in East Asia, or Africa, or anywhere”提到了亚洲和非洲;第三段和第四段作者又提到了欧洲,故答案选D。

D.That people have to use English in their work.
答案与解析:C 细节理解题。根据第三段的“One of the most important causes... is that Europeans are willing to accept it as their language.”可知C项正确。
4.What does the underlined word “rated” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Stood. B.Agreed.
C.Considered. D.Argued.
答案与解析:C 词义猜测题。根据语境以及第四段的“consider it useful”可知rated在这里意为“认为,看作”。
B
Everyone knows about New Year's Eve and Independence Day. But did you know that there are enough holidays to fill every day of the year? Here are just a few we found interesting.
World Hello Day
To celebrate this day, say hello to at least ten different people. World Hello Day began in the autumn of 1973, shortly after the end of a war in the Middle East. Brian and Michael McCormack of Omaha. Nebraska, wondered what they could do to encourage world peace. They felt the best way was by getting people to talk with one another.
The McCormacks sent letters to the leaders of every country in the world about the first World Hello Day. They wrote the letters in as many different languages as they could. Officials wrote back from sixteen countries and encouraged Brian and Michael to make World Hello Day a yearly event. The holiday has been held on the third Sunday of November every year since. The McCormacks have received letters from many famous people congratulating them for their efforts.
International Day of the Seal (海豹)
March 22 is the official International Day of the Seal. But the National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C., and many other zoos and research centers around the world celebrate this holiday on the third weekend of March. The holiday was created to tell people about the dangers seals face from pollution and fishing nets.
At the National Zoological Park, you can find out how seals live and ways to help protect their habitats (栖息地).
Do it! Day
Are you a procrastinator? Here's a day to finish all those things you've been meaning to do. Do It! Day is celebrated on the first Wednesday in September. “The whole idea is to feel good about getting things done,” says the founder of Do It! Day, Ethel Cook. She came up with the idea as part of her work helping businesses get organized. Cook hopes everyone will turn their Do Its into Did Its.
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一些有趣的节日。
5.World Hello Day was set to ________.
A.create peace worldwide
B.stop the war in the Middle East
C.encourage foreign language learning
D.spread knowledge about different countries
答案与解析:A 细节理解题。根据World Hello Day中的“Brian and Michael McCormack of Omaha, Nebraska, wondered what they could do to encourage world peace.”可知,世界问候日设立的初衷就是为了促进世界和平。
6.How did the McCormacks advertise World Hello Day?
A.By reporting it on TV.
B.By meeting famous people.

7.When does the National Zoological Park celebrate the International Day of the Seal?
A.On March 22.
B.On the third weekend of March.
C.On the third Sunday of November.

8.The underlined word “procrastinator” in the last paragraph refers to a person who ________.
A.cleans up things quickly
B.puts off things until later
C.always comes up with good ideas
D.feels good about getting things done
答案与解析:B 词义猜测题。根据Do it! Day中的“Here's a day to finish all those things you've been meaning to do.”可知,行动日就是让有拖延症的人赶紧完成他们未完成的事情,故procrastinator指“做事拖延的人”。
Ⅱ.阅读填句
We all know it is not always so easy to be happy. We also know how stressed (有压力的) you are, with homework, exams, sports meets and extra outdoor activities, let alone trying to have a life outside school.__1__
Exercise
Physical activity produces all sorts of things which help us to relax and feel good. Exercise can also make us feel more confident (自信的), which certainly makes us happier. You don't have to be a future Olympian. __2__ If you hate PE, find something less competitive: go for a walk, dance around your room or hit a park.
Thankfulness
It's easy to take the good things in life without thinking about them or showing you're thankful. __3__ An easy way to do this is to make a list before bed of five things you're thankful for. They can be big things, like your family and friends, or little things, like a good hair day.
Laugh

【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了几种使自己快乐的方法。
1.D 该空前提出快乐不易,再结合下文的四种方法可知,D项内容在此承上启下。
2.E E项中的get something good和上文中的“help us to relax and feel good, make us feel more confident”相呼应;“moving a little bit”和下文中的“go for a walk, dance around your room or hit a park”相呼应。
3.F 根据该段小标题Thankfulness和下文中的“make a list before bed of five things you're thankful for”可知,经常表达谢意会使人更加快乐。该空后的this指代F项中的“giving thanks”。
4.G 根据该段谈论的中心词laugh和下一句中的转折连词But可知,G项内容符合此处语境。
5.A 根据该段小标题Sleep和下一句中的“Not getting enough sleep makes you angry and sad”可知,此处指年轻人需要至少8个小时的睡眠。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
I was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn't be late for! I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries. A PhD student without a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this date.
We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile — warm and reassuring — and I returned her_gift by smiling back.
“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said.
“Yes, she's special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out.
“It's only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she's ‘the one’.” Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can't figure out why she'd want to date a guy like me.”
“Well, I think she's very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said. “My husband used to bring me flowers every week — even when times were tough and we didn't have much money. Those were incredible (难以置信的) days; he was very romantic and — of course — I miss him since he's passed away.”
I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.
It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just bought. “You have a wonderful evening,” I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.
I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her — that was the night that I won her heart.

4.What can you learn from the story?
A.Flowers are important for a date.
B.Small talk is helpful.
C.Love and kindness are rewarding.
D.Elderly people deserve respecting.

Q:As a non-native English learner, should I learn British English or American English?
A:The truth is that it makes little difference. Why? Because we can read works written in either American English or British without too much trouble, and understand each other perfectly well as long as we don't use too much colloquial slang(口语俚语). They are the same language — both are still English.
The main differences are in vocabulary for some everyday things. However, most Americans know what trousers are, and Britons and Australians know that “pants” are trousers in an American book or movie. And there are a few small spelling differences. There are some very small grammar differences, but these are too small — most of them will probably not even be noticed. I'm British, and I often read books written in American English, as well as British English. To tell you the truth, I hardly notice the differences.
If you want to learn English and use it internationally, learn both kinds. It's not difficult — just a few extra words or spelling differences to learn. It's good to know how English speakers from all over the world use the language, no matter where they come from. You might need to know that American English is used mainly in North America, but British English is the standard English in the rest of the English-speaking world, including Britain's old colonies(殖民地) — Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore, India, Malaysia, Hong Kong, etc.
Even “British English” is a bit of a misnomer (用词错误),since there is no real standard way of speaking English in the UK.Some people confuse “British English” with the accent called RP(Received Pronunciation), but they aren't the same thing. British English is only a standard, not an accent. RP is only one accent in the UK. Few speak it. Other dialects are widely spoken in the UK today.
【语篇解读】 作者认为英式英语和美式英语的区别不是很大,二者都学会也不是很难。
5.The author most probably finds American colloquial slang ________.
A.strange B.helpful
C.difficult D.interesting
答案与解析:C 推理判断题。根据回答部分第一段的“understand each other perfectly well as long as we don't use too much colloquial slang.”可推断,作者觉得口语俚语不好懂。
6.What does the example of “trousers”and “pants”show?
A.Some differences are easy to notice.
B.Differences in vocabulary are common.
C.One thing can be called different names.
D.Americans and Britons can understand each other.
答案与解析:D 推理判断题。根据回答部分第二段的“However, most Americans know what trousers are, and Britons and Australians know that ‘pants’ are trousers in an American book or movie.”可知,作者是想表明美国人和英国人能够听懂彼此说的话。
7.What can we learn about Received Pronunciation?
A.It is not an accent.
B.It is British English.
C.It is often used in the US.
D.It isn't widely used in Britain.
答案与解析:D 推理判断题。根据回答部分第四段的“British English is only a standard, not an accent. RP is only one accent in the UK. Few speak it.”可知,这种方言用的人少。
8.The author would most probably agree that ________.
A.colloquial slang shouldn't be used often
B.British people find it hard to understand Americans
C.British English and American English don't differ too much
D.people should learn British English instead of American English
答案与解析:C 推理判断题。根据回答部分第一段的“The truth is that it makes little difference.”以及第二段的“To tell you the truth I hardly notice the differences.”可知,作者觉得美式英语跟英式英语之间的差别不大。

【语篇解读】 文章介绍了印度英雄甘地的生平事迹。
1.as 考查介词。句意:甘地,一位印度民族英雄,被尊称为“印度之父”。as在此意为“作为”。
2.married 考查固定搭配。marry是动词,意为“(和某人)结婚,娶,嫁”。由空前的got 可知,此处应用married。get/be married意为“结婚”。
3.where 考查定语从句。“__3__he studied law for three years and became a lawyer”是定语从句,修饰先行词England,关系词在从句中作地点状语,故用关系副词where引导从句。
4.surprised 考查形容词。was后跟形容词作表语,且此处表述人的感受,应用surprised,意为“惊讶的”。
5.for 考查介词。句意:在那里他成立了一个组织,开办了一份杂志,为获得平等的权利而斗争。fight for ...意为“为……而战”。
6.when 考查定语从句。“__6__India was controlled by the British”是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词1915,关系词在从句中作时间状语,故用关系副词when。
7.including 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,Indians与include之间是主谓关系,故用现在分词作后置定语。此处表示包括甘地在内的很多印度人被投入监狱。
8.However 考查副词。在政治运动中,包括甘地在内的很多印度人被投入监狱。但是,斗争从未停止过。该空和主句用逗号隔开,故填副词However表转折。
9.in 考查介词。由下文印度获得独立可知,英国政府投降了。give in意为“屈服,让步”,是固定短语。
10.Unfortunately 考查副词。句意:不幸的是,甘地遭到一个反对他的观点的印度人的射杀,于1948年1月30日去世。修饰整个句子应用副词,再结合句意可知,应填Unfortunately。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Towards the end of Middle English, a sudden change in pronunciation started, with vowels(元音) pronounced shorter and shorter. From the 16th century the British had contact(接触) with many people from around the world. This meant that many new words and phrases entered the language. The invention of printing also meant that there was now a common language in print. Books became cheaper and more people learned to read. Spelling and grammar became fixed, and the dialect of London became the standard. In 1604 the first English dictionary came out.
Early Modern English and Late Modern English are mostly different in the number of words. Late Modern English has many more words, mainly because of the following two reasons: First, the Industrial Revolution(工业革命) led to the need for new words. Second, the British Empire covered one quarter of the earth's surface, and the English language took in foreign words from many countries.
From around 1600, the English colonization(殖民地化)of North America led to American English. Some English pronunciations and words froze when they reached America. In some ways, American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English. Some expressions that are called “Americanisms” are in fact from British expressions. They were kept in the colonies while lost for a time in Britain. Spanish also had an influence on American English. For example, words like canyon, ranch, stampede and vigilante are from Spanish. French words and West African words(through the slave trade) also influenced American English.
Today, American English has a greater influence, because of the USA's movies, television, popular music, trade and technology.

4.答案与解析:D 根据“Reviewing or recopying your notes when you get home can help you remember what you have learnt during the day.”可知,作者建议当天回家后就要复习那些笔记内容。
