Unit 2 English around the world.閱讀理解Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a childa bit of nostalgia(懷舊) or “blast from the past，” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “l(fā)istenandrepeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburghs website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listenandrepeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”1The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to _.Arecall the pastBattract the readersCintroduce the topicDcompare the childhood with the present2According to the passage which language doesnt share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?AHungarian. BSpanish.CItalian. DEnglish.3Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that _.Asinging is the best way to learn a languageBthe brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the wordsCa listenrepeat method is very effective for any language learnerDDr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other4In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?AA mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.BA child is going to have his first music lesson.CA student is going to learn a new English song.DAn American is going to learn some Chinese.答案與解析本文講述的是一項(xiàng)關(guān)于音樂和外語學(xué)習(xí)之間關(guān)系的研究。1C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。本文開頭通過舉例導(dǎo)入話題，人們都清楚地記得兒時(shí)唱歌的歌詞是因?yàn)橐魳酚兄谟洃洠蔬xC。2A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第五段“It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish.”可知A項(xiàng)正確。故選A。3B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后兩段對(duì)研究的具體描述可知B項(xiàng)正確。故選B。4D推理判斷題。從最后一段可知，此項(xiàng)研究對(duì)于外語學(xué)習(xí)者非常有用，可知D項(xiàng)正確。故選D。.七選五(2017福建省三明市月考)The guy who tried to edit EnglishThe English vocabulary is not only huge, it is also full of words that mean practically the same thing. Get, obtain, acquire. Shine, gleam, glow, sparkle. _1_That was the thinking of a British writer named CK. Ogden, who in the 1930s promoted a new form of English with a vocabulary of just 850 words. He called the project Basic English. _2_Ogden arrived at his 850word list through experimentation. The words he finally included were not necessarily the shortest or most concrete. _3_Because any verbal (動(dòng)詞的) idea could be expressed with a small number of “operators” words like come, go, take, have, make, be and do Ogden argued that most verbs were unnecessary. In Basic English, eat is “have a meal” and forget is “go from memory.”Winston Churchill was a fan of the concept as a way to get foreigners to speak English, and he encouraged the BBC to use it._4_ Roosevelt, who expressed mild interest, joked that Churchills famous speech about offering his “blood, toil, tears and sweat” to his country wouldnt have been so exciting if he “had been able to offer the British people only blood, work, eye water and face water, which I understand is the best that Basic English can do with five famous words.”_5_Churchill didnt use it either. When seeking to express ourselves, we dont necessarily need fewer words; we need the right words. So its our benefit to have a large supply of words on hand. ADo we really need them all?BHow many words are there in English?COgden himself didnt actually use Basic English.DPlenty of seeming basic words did not make the list at all.EHe also tried to persuade President Franklin Roosevelt to promote it.FHe believed it would make the language more efficient and easier to learn.GDespite attention from world leaders, Basic English never got as far as expected.答案與解析本文是說明文。文章介紹了由奧格登創(chuàng)造出來的一種簡(jiǎn)化英語基本英語。1A第一段講到英語的詞匯量很大且有很多同義詞，第二段提到That was the thinking of a British writer及奧格登將英語詞匯量減到850個(gè)可知，此處應(yīng)該是問“我們確實(shí)需要那么多詞匯嗎”。故選A。2F奧格登之所以創(chuàng)造基本英語是因?yàn)樗X得這樣英語更容易學(xué)。故選F。3D根據(jù)上文的 were not necessarily the shortest or most concrete及下文舉的例子可知，很多基礎(chǔ)的詞匯并沒有出現(xiàn)在基本英語中。故選D。4E由下文的 Roosevelt, who expressed mild interest可知，此處是說丘吉爾也試圖說服羅斯福總統(tǒng)推廣基本英語。故選E。5C根據(jù)下文的 Churchill didnt use it either 可知，“奧格登并沒有真正使用基本英語”符合語境。故選C。.語法填空(2017湖南省益陽市高三月考)All through history, people from many different countries and cultures have lived together in Britain. The English language _1_ (consist) of the grammar and vocabulary _2_ (this) people brought to Britain. That is _3_ English has so many difficult rules that confuse people. The development of English experienced three periods Old English, Middle English and Modern English. From the 5th to the 9th centuries, Britain was occupied by different groups from other countries, which led to Old English _4_ (replace) Celtic. Old English, a mixture of different languages, differs _5_ todays English. Middle English is the name _6_ (give) to the English used from _7_ (approximate) the 12th to the 15th centuries. During this period, French, though it didnt replace English, still made many _8_ (contribution) to Middle English. This resulted in more words with similar meanings. The words for the meat of these animals which _9_ (serve) to the Normans, came from Old French. Modern English appeared in the 16th century, which went through many changes during this period. The question of _10_ English will keep on changing in the future is easy to answer. It is certain that this process will continue. 答案與解析關(guān)于英語這種語言的發(fā)展和改變。1consists詞組consist of無被動(dòng)語態(tài)，根據(jù)句意可知用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)，故填consists。2these句意：英語是由這些到英國(guó)的人所帶來的語言規(guī)則和詞匯組成的。故填these。3why句意：那就是為什么英語有著這么多使人困惑的難規(guī)則。故填why。4replacing固定形式：lead to doing sth.故此處填replacing。5from固定詞組：differ from不同于，故填from。6given這里name和give之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故填given。7approximately句意：大約第12世紀(jì)到15世紀(jì)?？芍颂幱酶痹~形式，故填approximately。8contributionsmany修飾名詞復(fù)數(shù)，故填contributions。9was served根據(jù)句意可知此處用一般過去時(shí)態(tài)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)，故填was served。10whether句意：是否英語在未來繼續(xù)改變這個(gè)問題是容易回答的。介詞后面不用if引導(dǎo)賓語從句，故填whether。.短文改錯(cuò)(2017重慶一中第二次月考)When I was 10, I was asked to make a speech naming “My Dream” before the whole class! With so many eyes fixed upon me, you can imagine how nervous I was. However, I had no choice but prepare for it. To draft the speech was the easiest for me, the good writer, but the hard part lay in my oral presentation from my memory. The real moment came while I stood on the platform, my heart was beating fast and my mind blank. Much to my surprise, the listeners were sitting quietly and wait patiently without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found me back. When I finished my speech, my audience applauded wild. I made it! From then on, my fear of talking before an audience disappears. 答案When I was 10, I was asked to make a speech “My Dream” before the whole class!
