English and English Community

1There is no doubt that English is a useful language.The people who speak English
today make up the largest speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of
Chinese.
2 A speech community is similar to other kinds of communities.The people who make up
the community share a common language.Often they live side by side,as they do in a
neighborhood（街坊）,a village,or a city. More often they form a whole country. National
boundaries,however,are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community.
A speech community is any group of people who speak the same language no matter where
they happen to live.
3 We may say that anyone who speaks English belongs to the English speech community.
For convenience（方便）,we may divide the speakers into two groups:one in which the
speakers use English as their native language,the other in which the speakers learn English
as a second language for the purpose of education,commerce,and so on.
4 Learning a second language extends one's vision and expands the mind.The history
and literature of a second language record the real and fictional（虚构的）lives of people
and their culture;a knowledge of them adds to our ability to understand and to feel as they
feel .Learning English as a second language provides another means of communication
through which the window of the entire English speech community becomes a part of our
heritage.

Many people learn English as___________.
A: a second language
B: the same language
C: the same speech community
D:any other language
E:national boundaries
F:a part of one's heritage

答案：A
解析：

B

We know good manners are important . Today I am going to tell you something about manners in different countries . I think you already know that people in different countries usually have different ways of doing things . Something that is rude in one country may be quite polite in another . For example , in Britain you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having liquid food . That is considered bad manners in Britain . But in Japan you needn’t worry about making a noise when you drink something . It shows that you are enjoying it . In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal . In Mexico , however , guests are expected to keep their hands on the tablethroughout a meal . In Arabic countries we must be careful with our hands . You see , in Arabic countries you mustn’t eat with your left hand. This is considered to be very impolite . So, what should you do if you visit a foreign country ? Well , you needn’t worry . You can ask the native people there to help you and you can just watch carefully and try to do what they do .

( )61. In Arabic countries you must be careful with your _____.

A. feet

B. mouth

C . eyes

D. hands

Some Things We Know About Language
Many things about language are a mystery,and many will always remain so.But some things we do know.
First , we know that all human beings have a language of some sort.There is no race（种族）of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language,no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another.Furthermore,in historical times,there has never been a race of men without a language. Second,there is no such thing as a primitive（原始的）language.There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped,who are,as we say,uncivilized,but the languages they speak are not primitive.In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing. This has not always been well understood;indeed,the direct contrary has often been stated.Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate.Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises.Study has proved this to be nonsense.There are,or were, hundreds of American Indian languages,and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old.They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with,but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.
A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate.That is,each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language. Finally,we know that language changes.It is natural and normal for language to change;the only languages which do not change are the dead ones.This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language.Grammatical features change as do speech sounds,and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly.Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.

The author argues that we do know some things about language in______aspects.
A:three
B:four
C:five
D:six

答案：B
解析：
根据第二段第一句中的“First"，第三段第一句中的“second，第五段第一句中的“Athird thing"，以及第六段第一句中“Finally”可知，作者主要从四个方面来淦释语言的特征。
根据第三段最后一句可知，所有已知的语言无不经过了数万年的充分发展。
第四段第一句中的“This”指的就是第三段所诊释的内容，再结合第三段第一句" Second , there is no such thing as a primitive language.”可知，A项正确。
由第五段可知，A、B两项表述正确。根据第四段最后一句可知，作者认为不同的语言没有发展水平上的差别，美国的印第安语和英语一样复杂，故C项表述正确，D项表述不正确。
根据第六段最后一句可知，词汇是所有语言中最不稳定的部分，即它最容易发生变化。

New Foods and the New World
In the last 500 years,nothing about people—not their clothes,ideas,or languages—has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians .The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500's .And although it was very expensive,it quickly became fashionable.In London,shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.
The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600,the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe,where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the“Potato Famine”of 1845—1846,and thou- sands more were forced to emigrate to America.
There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world's largest grower of coffee,and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries.But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.
According to an Arabic legend,coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush.He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake”feeling that one-third of the world's population now starts the day with.

The Arabic legend is used to prove that
A:.coffee was first discovered by Kaldi
B: coffee was first discovered by Kaldi's goats
C:.coffee was first discovered in south American countries
D: coffee drinks were first made by Arabs

答案：D
解析：
细节题。第一段第一句： In the last 500 years , nothing about people—not their clothes,ideas , or languages—has changed as much as what they eat.（在过去的500年中，没有任何关于人类的东西，如他们的衣服，观点或语言，会像他们吃的食物变化那么大）同时使用比较级和否定词表示最高级，意思恰恰就是A选项的内容。


细节题。从第一段最后两句话：London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.（在伦敦，供应巧克力饮料的店铺成为了重要的聚会地点。直到今天还存在一些这样的店铺）可以推断这里的some指的就是London shops。


细节题。第二段第三句：Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “ Potato Famine ” of 1845～1846.（爱尔兰人非常依赖土豆，在1845年到1846年期间的土豆饥荒中成千上万的爱尔兰人由于土豆欠收而挨俄）。强调the crop failed , the crop即potato。 A项没有说明土豆欠收这个关键事实；B项是starve导致的结果，并非原因;C项文章并未提及。


细节题。根据第三段倒数第二句：But it is native（本土的、当地的）to Ethiopia．句中it即指coffee，意思是咖啡最早产自埃塞俄比亚。A、B项和But it is native to Ethiopia矛盾；根据第三段最后一句：Arabs最早将咖啡制作为饮品。可以推断D是错误的。


推断题。第三段最后一句：It ( coffee ) was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.最后一段讲述这个阿拉伯传说就是为了证明阿位伯人首先发明了咖啡这种饮品，即D选项的内容。

第三篇

A Debate on the English Language

A measure declaring English the national language is under intense debate in the United
States.The US Senate passed two declarations last week.One calls English the nation's
official language and the other says it is the "common and unifying（统一的）"tongue.But
Americans found themselves divided on the issue.
Since people worldwide know that most Americans speak only English,many can't
understand why the issue is so controversial（有争议的）.
"The discussion is related to fears of immigration issues,"says Dick Tucker,a social
scientist at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University."It's related to a worry about the
changing demography（人口统计）of the US.It's a worry about who will continue to have
political and economic influence."
In fact,the notion of protecting the language has been kicked around almost since the
nation's founding.John Adams lobbied（游说）in 1780 for the creation of a national
academy to correct and improve the English language.But his proposal died,since
lawmakers saw it as a royalist（保皇主义者）attempt to define personal behavior.
Since then,the country hasn't had a national language,but the idea of recognizing the
special status of English lived on.
The emotions surrounding language resurface（再次浮现）not because people feel
comfortable with English.It is more about the discomfort many Americans feel with the new
languages,says Walt Wolfram, a professor at North Carolina State University.
"Language is never about language,"he says.
According to the 2000 US Census Bureau report,of 209 million Americans over 18
years old,172 million speak only English at home.About 37 million speak languages other
than English.Among them,6.5 million speak poor English and 3.1 million don't speak
English at all.

What are the two declarations concerned with?
A:The status of the English language.
B:The protection of new languages.
C:The rights to speak one's mother tongue.
D:The improvement of the English language.

答案：A
