THE CHINESE WRITING SYSTEM：
CONNECTING THE PAST AND THE PRESENT
China is widely known for1 its ancient civilisation [1]which has continued all the way2 through into modern times，despite the many ups and downs3 in its history.[2]There are many reasons why this has been possible，but one of the main factors has been the Chinese writing system4.
[1]which引导定语从句，修饰先行词its ancient civilisation，which在从句中作主语。
[2]此句是but连接的并列复合句，在第一个分句中，why引导定语从句，修饰先行词reasons。

2．一直
3．浮沉；兴衰；荣辱
4．汉字书写体系
At the beginning5，written Chinese6 was a picture-based language.It dates back several thousand years to7 the use of longgu—animal bones and shells [3]on which symbols were carved by ancient Chinese people.Some of the ancient symbols can still be seen in today’s hanzi.
[3]on which symbols were carved by ancient Chinese people是“介词on＋which”引导的定语从句，修饰先行词animal bones and shells。
5.最初；起初
6．汉语书面语
7．追溯到
[4]By the Shang Dynasty8 (around 1600－1046 BCE)，these symbols had become a well-developed writing system. Over the years，the system developed into different forms，[5]as it was a time when people were divided geographically，leading to9 many varieties of10 dialects and characters.This，however，changed under Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221－207 BCE)．
[4]“by＋过去的时间”作时间状语时，句子用过去完成时。
[5] as引导原因状语从句；when引导定语从句，修饰先行词a time；leading to...是现在分词短语作结果状语。
8.商朝
9．引起，导致
10．各种各样的
Emperor Qinshihuang united the seven major states into one unified country11 where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction12.[6]That writing system was of great importance13 in uniting the Chinese people and culture.Even today，[7]no matter where14 Chinese people live or what dialect they speak，they can all still communicate in writing.
[6]此句是主系表结构的简单句。

Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读(共8小题；每题2.5分，满分20分)
A
The classic 1951 science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still includes an impressive character—a frightening robot (Gort) whose terrible actions are under control only when he is ordered，“Klaatu Barada Nikto”．What does this mean I don’t know.But when I overhear my students speaking to each other，I am often similarly confused.
I teach at a university.One of the “problems” is that as the years pass，I get older，but my students remain the same age—18 to 22.Early on，when I was in my 20s and 30s，this wasn’t a problem，as we were close enough in age to speak the same language.But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed，and I am not on board.
Let me make it clear by using an example：Recently，when I walked into my class，my students were chatting happily with each other.One of their comments caught my ear：“Venmo it to me.” I had no idea what “Venmo” meant，so I asked.The good-natured students were happy to explain it to me，and in return I nodded with an awkward expression，as if I should have known better.
I went home that evening，losing myself in that moment of noncomprehension(不理解)．I am not against change，but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails.If I were to awaken from a five-year sleep，I’d have no idea what people were talking about.I just wouldn’t understand the language.
Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort，and I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about，as well as on my ability—for the most part—to understand their explanations.
But what will happen if my interest wanes and that the language ship finally disappears over the horizon The answer，to me，is clear：Klaatu Barada Nikto.
语篇解读　这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者讲述了他随着年龄增长而难以适应语言的进化，并提出了自己的思考。
1．Why does the author mention the classic 1951 film
A．To recommend an excellent film.
B．To introduce a similar experience.
C．To suggest a language learning method.
D．To discuss how to control a robot.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据第一段“The classic 1951 science fiction film...when he is ordered，‘Klaatu Barada Nikto’．What does this mean I don’t know.But when I overhear my students speaking to each other，I am often similarly confused.”可知，作者谈及1951年的经典电影中的一句口令是为了引出作者的类似经历，即自己经常听不懂学生说的话。故选B。
2．What makes the author fall behind in language
A．Learning needs. B．Teaching tasks.
C．Age difference. D．Hearing loss.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One of the ‘problems’ is that as the years pass，I get older，but my students remain the same age...lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed，and I am not on board.”可知，作者跟不上语言变化的原因是和学生的年龄差越来越大。故选C。
3．What does the author think of language change
A．It is entirely avoidable.
B．It is really small.
C．It is very beneficial.
D．It is much too rapid.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I am not against change，but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails.”可知，作者认为语言变化太快了。故选D。
4．What does the underlined word “wanes” mean in the last paragraph
A．Lessens. B．Grows.
C．Happens. D．Focuses.
答案　A
解析　词义猜测题。根据第五段“...I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about...”及画线词所在句中的But可知，此时作者对新语言感兴趣，也能听得懂年轻人的解释，但当作者对新兴语言的兴趣wanes，作者可能完全跟不上语言变化，所以猜测该词意思为“减退，减弱”。故选A。
B(此篇精读)
It is often said that if we dream in a foreign language，it’s a sign that we are making progress in learning that language.But is it true
Before we can look at multilingual(多语言的) dreams，first we need to look at sleep.The link between sleep and language can be applied to how we learn any language，including our mother tongue.Even adults still learn about one new word every two days in their first language，but if we are going to have a firm grasp of that new word，we need to link it to our existing knowledge.“In order to do that，we need to have some sleep，” says Gareth Gaskell，a psychology professor at the University of York.
It’s during sleep that the connection of old and new knowledge happens.At night，one part of our brain—the hippocampus(海马体)—takes whatever new information it got in the day，and passes it on to other parts of the brain to be stored.The role that dreams play in this night-time learning process is still being studied，but it’s entirely possible that during multilingual dreams，the brain is trying to connect two languages，according to Marc Zuist，researcher at the University Hospital of Psychiatry in Switzerland.
So having multilingual dreams could mean that our brain is trying to master a new word or phrase，but it could also have an emotional significance(情感意义)．Danuta Barker，a professor of psycholinguistics(心理语言学) at the University of Silesia in Poland，suggests that multilingual dreams can express fears and desires around learning a foreign language，including the wish to be a native-like speaker or to be accepted within a certain community.
We clearly still have a lot to learn about multilingual dreams，but one thing seems certain：if you’re trying to learn a new language，you should definitely sleep on it.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了多语言梦境和语言学习的联系。
5．Which of the following does Gareth agree with
A．Adults are better at learning.
B．We can learn words while sleeping.
C．Our existing knowledge is from dreams.
D．Multilingual dreams have nothing to do with progress.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据第二段中“Even adults still learn about one new word every two days in their first language，but if we are going to have a firm grasp of that new word，we need to link it to our existing knowledge.‘In order to do that，we need to have some sleep，’ says Gareth Gaskell...”可知，要想牢固掌握新词汇，就需要将它与已有的知识连接起来，而这需要借助睡眠，由此可推知，加雷思可能同意的观点是我们可以在睡觉的时候学习单词。故选B。
6．What is the function of the hippocampus
A．Studying the role of dreams.
B．Analyzing the learning process.
C．Developing new areas of the brain.
D．Absorbing and delivering information.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中“At night，one part of our brain—the hippocampus(海马体)—takes whatever new information it got in the day，and passes it on to other parts of the brain to be stored.”可知，海马体的功能是接收和传递信息。故选D。
7．What does Danuta Barker study
A．Emotion and dreams.
B．Languages and communities.
C．Universities and courses.
D．Words and expressions.
答案　A
解析　推理判断题。根据第四段“So having multilingual dreams...could also have an emotional significance(情感意义)．Danuta Barker...suggests that multilingual dreams can express fears and desires around learning a foreign language...”可知，努塔·巴克介绍了多语言梦境的情感意义，由此可推知，努塔·巴克研究情感和梦的关系。故选A。
8．What’s the main idea of the passage
A．Why we learn a foreign language in the dream.
B．Learning languages is completely from sleeping.
C．Sleeping plays an important part in the development of brains.
D．How multilingual dreams are connected to language learning.
答案　D
解析　主旨大意题。根据第一段“It is often said that if we dream in a foreign language，it’s a sign that we are making progress in learning that language.But is it true？”和下文内容可知，全篇文章在介绍多语言梦境和语言学习的联系，研究者对此进行了分析。由此可知，这篇文章的主旨是多语言梦境是如何与语言学习联系在一起的。故选D。
[词汇积累] 1．have a grasp of掌握，理解 2．existing(派)＝exist＋ing adj.现存的 3．store(转)n.→v.存储 [句式分析] 1．It is often said that if we dream in a foreign language，it’s a sign that we are making progress in learning that language. 分析：此句为复合句。句中含有“It is said that...”句型，意为“据说……”，It为形式主语，that引导的从句为真正主语；在主语从句中，if引导条件状语从句，that引导同位语从句，解释说明sign的内容。 翻译：人们常说，如果我们用一门外语做梦，这表示我们在学习那门语言方面正在取得进步。 2．It’s during sleep that the connection of old and new knowledge happens. 分析：此句为强调句型，强调时间状语during sleep。 翻译：正是在睡眠中，新旧知识的连接发生了。

The classic 1951 science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still includes an impressive character—a frightening robot (Gort) whose terrible actions are under control only when he is ordered，“Klaatu Barada Nikto”.What does this mean I don’t know.But when I overhear my students speaking to each other，I am often similarly confused.

Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
I teach at a university.One of the “problems” is that as the years pass，I get older，but my students remain the same age—18 to 22.Early on，when I was in my 20s and 30s，this wasn’t a problem，as we were close enough in age to speak the same language.But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed，and I am not on board.
Let me make it clear by using an example：Recently，when I walked into my class，my students were chatting happily with each other. One of their comments caught my ear：“Venmo it to me.” I had no idea what “Venmo” meant，so I asked.The good-natured students were happy to explain it to me，and in return I nodded with an awkward expression，as if I should have known better.
I went home that evening，losing myself in that moment of noncomprehension(不理解).I am not against change，but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails.If I were to awaken from a five-year sleep，I’d have no idea what people were talking about.I just wouldn’t understand the language.
Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort，and I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about，as well as on my ability—for the most part—to understand their explanations.
But what will happen if my interest wanes and that the language ship finally disappears over the horizon The answer，to me，is clear：Klaatu Barada Nikto.
1.Why does the author mention the classic 1951 film
A.To recommend an excellent film.
B.To introduce a similar experience.
C.To suggest a language learning method.
D.To discuss how to control a robot.
√
推理判断题。根据第一段“The classic 1951 science fiction film...when he is ordered，‘Klaatu Barada Nikto’.What does this mean I don’t know.But when I overhear my students speaking to each other，I am often similarly confused.”可知，作者谈及1951年的经典电影中的一句口令是为了引出作者的类似经历，即自己经常听不懂学生说的话。故选B。
解析
2.What makes the author fall behind in language
A.Learning needs. B.Teaching tasks.
C.Age difference. D.Hearing loss.
√
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One of the ‘problems’ is that as the years pass，I get older，but my students remain the same age...lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed，and I am not on board.”可知，作者跟不上语言变化的原因是和学生的年龄差越来越大。故选C。
解析
3.What does the author think of language change
A.It is entirely avoidable. B.It is really small.
C.It is very beneficial. D.It is much too rapid.
√
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I am not against change，but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails.”可知，作者认为语言变化太快了。故选D。
解析
4.What does the underlined word “wanes” mean in the last paragraph
A.Lessens. B.Grows.
C.Happens. D.Focuses.
√
词义猜测题。根据第五段“...I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about...”及画线词所在句中的But可知，此时作者对新语言感兴趣，也能听得懂年轻人的解释，但当作者对新兴语言的兴趣wanes，作者可能完全跟不上语言变化，所以猜测该词意思为“减退，减弱”。故选A。
解析

It is often said that if we dream in a foreign language，it’s a sign that we are making progress in learning that language.But is it true
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了多语言梦境和语言学习的联系。
Before we can look at multilingual(多语言的) dreams，first we need to look at sleep.The link between sleep and language can be applied to how we learn any language，including our mother tongue.Even adults still learn about one new word every two days in their first language，but if we are going to have a firm grasp of that new word，we need to link it to our existing knowledge.“In order to do that，we need to have some sleep，” says Gareth Gaskell，a psychology professor at the University of York.
It’s during sleep that the connection of old and new knowledge happens.At night，one part of our brain—the hippocampus(海马体)—takes whatever new information it got in the day，and passes it on to other parts of the brain to be stored.The role that dreams play in this night-time learning process is still being studied，but it’s entirely possible that during multilingual dreams，the brain is trying to connect two languages，according to Marc Zuist，researcher at the University Hospital of Psychiatry in Switzerland.
So having multilingual dreams could mean that our brain is trying to master a new word or phrase，but it could also have an emotional significance(情感意义).Danuta Barker，a professor of psycholinguistics(心理语言学) at the University of Silesia in Poland，suggests that multilingual dreams can express fears and desires around learning a foreign language，including the wish to be a native-like speaker or to be accepted within a certain community.
We clearly still have a lot to learn about multilingual dreams，but one thing seems certain：if you’re trying to learn a new language，you should definitely sleep on it.
5.Which of the following does Gareth agree with
A.Adults are better at learning.
B.We can learn words while sleeping.
C.Our existing knowledge is from dreams.
D.Multilingual dreams have nothing to do with progress.
√

解析
6.What is the function of the hippocampus
A.Studying the role of dreams.
B.Analyzing the learning process.
C.Developing new areas of the brain.

√
细节理解题。根据第三段中“At night，one part of our brain—the hippocampus(海马体)—takes whatever new information it got in the day，and passes it on to other parts of the brain to be stored.”可知，海马体的功能是接收和传递信息。故选D。
解析
7.What does Danuta Barker study
A.Emotion and dreams.
B.Languages and communities.
C.Universities and courses.
D.Words and expressions.
√
推理判断题。根据第四段“So having multilingual dreams...could also have an emotional significance(情感意义).Danuta Barker...suggests that multilingual dreams can express fears and desires around learning a foreign language...”可知，努塔·巴克介绍了多语言梦境的情感意义，由此可推知，努塔·巴克研究情感和梦的关系。故选A。
解析
8.What’s the main idea of the passage
A.Why we learn a foreign language in the dream.
B.Learning languages is completely from sleeping.
C.Sleeping plays an important part in the development of brains.
D.How multilingual dreams are connected to language learning.
√
主旨大意题。根据第一段“It is often said that if we dream in a foreign language，it’s a sign that we are making progress in learning that language.But is it true？”和下文内容可知，全篇文章在介绍多语言梦境和语言学习的联系，研究者对此进行了分析。由此可知，这篇文章的主旨是多语言梦境是如何与语言学习联系在一起的。故选D。
解析
1.have a grasp of掌握，理解
2.existing(派)＝exist＋ing adj.现存的
3.store(转)n.→v.存储
词汇积累
1.It is often said that if we dream in a foreign language，it’s a sign that we are making progress in learning that language.
分析：此句为复合句。句中含有“It is said that...”句型，意为“据说……”，It为形式主语，that引导的从句为真正主语；在主语从句中，if引导条件状语从句，that引导同位语从句，解释说明sign的内容。
翻译：人们常说，如果我们用一门外语做梦，这表示我们在学习那门语言方面正在取得进步。
2.It’s during sleep that the connection of old and new knowledge happens.
分析：此句为强调句型，强调时间状语during sleep。
翻译：正是在睡眠中，新旧知识的连接发生了。
