The development of the English language took a giant step in 1607. Three small British ships c 【1】 the Atlantic Ocean. They began to call areas of their new land by words borrowed from the native people. For example, many of the great r 2 in the United States are taken from American Indian words. The Mississippi, the Tennessee, the Missouri are examples. This borrowing or adding of foreign words to English was a w 3 of expanding(擴大)the language. The names of three days of the week are good examples of this. The people from Northern Europe honored three gods with a special day each week. The gods were Odin, Thor and Freya. Odin’s-day became Wednesday in English, Thor’s-day became T 4 and Freya’s-day became Friday.

Experts cannot explain many English words. For h 5 of years, a dog was called a “hound.” The word is still u 6 but not as commonly as the word “dog.” English speakers just started using it. Other words whose origins(起源) are unknown i 7 “fun,” “bad,” and “big.”

English speakers also continue to invent n 8 words by linking old words together. A good example is the words “motor” and “hotel.” Many years ago s 9 linked them together into the word “motel.” A motel is a small hotel near a road where people travelling in cars can stay for the night.

Other words come from the f 【10 letters of names of groups or devices. For example, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is usually called NATO.

【解析】

試題分析:這篇短文給我們講述了英語語言的發(fā)展,尤其是詞匯的擴大。英語中很多單詞都來源于其他語言,而且現(xiàn)在還有很多新詞不斷的出現(xiàn),讓英語的詞匯豐富。很多單詞專家們也不知道他們的起源,但是這些單詞仍然還在使用。

【1】句意:三艘英國的小船穿過了大西洋。cross穿過,是一個動詞。這個空格處所填的是該句的謂語動詞,根據(jù)空后的Atlantic Ocean可知這個的詞義應(yīng)該是穿過。這篇短文講述的是過去的事情,故應(yīng)該用一般過去時態(tài),這里應(yīng)該填過去式crossed。

【2】句意:例如,美國的很多大河的名字都來源于美印第安人的詞匯。river河流,根據(jù)下句話中Mississippi 就是一條河流的名字,所以這里應(yīng)該說的是河流的名字。因為空前面有many,故這里用復(fù)數(shù)形式rivers。

【3】句意:這樣從別的語言中借此增添到英語當中是一種擴大英語詞匯的方法。way方式,方法,根據(jù)上文的描述可知,英語中的很多詞匯都來源于其他語言,正因為這樣,英語的詞匯才越來越豐富。因此這是一種擴大詞匯的方法。a way of doing …做某事的方法。

【4】句意:北歐的人們每周都有特殊的一天來紀念神,Odin’s Day 就變成了英語中的星期三,Thor’s-Day 變成了英語中的周四,而Freya’s-Day就變成了興趣五。根據(jù)句意我們可以推斷,在周三和周五之間的應(yīng)該是周四,故應(yīng)該填Thursday。

【5】句意:幾百年來,狗都被稱為hound。hundred 百,是一個數(shù)詞,跟數(shù)詞連用時不用復(fù)數(shù),或者構(gòu)成短語hundreds of,幾百,修飾可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)。

【6】句意: 這個詞仍然在使用,但是不如dog這個詞更普遍。use使用,是一個動詞。根據(jù)這句話的意思可知,這里應(yīng)該使用被動語態(tài),故應(yīng)填過去分詞used。

【7】句意:其他很多詞的起源也是不知道的,包括fun, bad, big。include包括,是一個動詞。根據(jù)句意可知,這里作者給我們舉了一些不知道單詞的起源的例子,故這里應(yīng)該用including。

【8】句意:說英語的人還在通過把舊詞聯(lián)系在一起的方式發(fā)明新的單詞。new 新的。根據(jù)這一段的意思可知,現(xiàn)在英語中的詞匯還在增加,人們還在發(fā)明很多新詞。

【9】句意:很多年前,有人把motor和hotel兩個詞聯(lián)系在一起組成了新詞motel。someone 或者somebody都是某人的意思,表示不知道的人。

【10】句意:其他的單詞來源于一個組織或機構(gòu)的名字中的第一個字母。first第一個。根據(jù)下面作者舉的例子NATO可知,還有一些單詞的構(gòu)成,是通過把名字中的第一個字母組合起來的。故應(yīng)填first。

【題目】It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.

Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (詳細地),either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.

I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

【1】People with little education usually _______.

A. spend a long time in school

B. have a good chance to get a job

C. spend the best years choose jobs

D. have fewer chances to get a good job

【2】 The earliest education was probably to __________.

A. make a man lead a better life

B. teach a man to write and think

C. make people get a way of living

D. teach people to read good books

【3】It is expected that educated people will be able to _________.

A. accept education as a way of living

B. take an interest in the whole world

C. develop their abilities to make plays

D. learn subjects like language and math

【4】The passage mainly tells us that _________.

A. education should make a man improve

B. people can get education in a short time

C. people should be able to get better paying jobs

D. all subjects are so important for a way of living

【題目】任務(wù)型閱讀

下面文章中有五處(第1-5題)需要添加標題。請從以下選項(A、B、C、D、E和F)中選出符合各段意思的小標題及符合文本大意的總標題。選項中有一項是多余選項。

A. TV makes kids overweight.

B. TV makes kids stupid.

C. Disadvantages of watching TV.

D. TV helps kids get to sleep.

E. TV makes kids violent(暴力的).

F. Wrong ideas of television’s effect on children.

【1】______________

The average American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒謬的) sayings have appeared:

【2】 ______________

Many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.

【3】_______________

The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence(暴力)instead of those suitable for their age.

【4】 _______________

An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食). A wide spread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements.

【5】_______________

The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have bad sleep habits. Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution.
