Every day, 340 million people speak it. One billion people are learning it and it is said that by 2050, half of the world’s population will be using it. What are we talking about The global language—English.
The English language started in Britain in the 5th century. It is a mixed language. It was built up when German, Scandinavian and French invaders settled in England and created a common language for communication.
Today it is the official language of the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and Ireland as well as many islands in the Caribbean. Many other countries and regions use it for politics and business, for example, India, Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines.
But global advertising and pop music mean that in most countries, you will see or hear some English. Thanks to fast food restaurants, we all know about “burgers”, “fries” and “milkshakes”. We can sing along some popular songs, even if we do not understand what we are singing!
English is a messy (杂乱的) language. Every year, dictionaries include new words that talk about popular culture, for example, computer-related words such as “blogging”, “download” and “chat room”. Also included are words that teenagers use. Who does not know “cool”, “OK” and “hello”
Other languages also influence English. Many English words come from French. Words like “cafe” and expressions like “c’est la vie (that is life)” are all part of the English language. On the other hand, the French language includes English words like “le weekend” and “le camping”. German words are also part of English. Words like “kindergarten” come from the German language.
Recently, British people have become interested in “yoga”. But the word comes from an ancient Hindu language in India.
(　C　)1. The English language has a history of 　　　　.
A. over 2,500 years
B. over 2,000 years
C. over 1,500 years
D. over 1,000 years
(　A　)2. Which statement is TRUE about the language of English
A. It has been changing all the time.
B. It has borrowed words from all the other languages.
C. French words are used by the English because dictionaries have French words.
D. Singers and film stars have the greatest influence on language.
(　C　)3. Many countries and regions use English for politics and business EXCEPT 　　　　.
A. the USA B. Nigeria
C. Norway D. the Philippines
Ⅴ. 阅读七选五
English has been called one of the most difficult languages for non-native speakers to learn. One reason is that English has so many rules. 　1　 Sometimes, this leaves learners confused. For example, the order of words in a sentence can be tricky.
　2　 The pronunciation of English words cannot always be judged by their spelling. For example, there are at least six ways to pronounce the group of letters spelled o-u-g-h. And, maybe the worst thing of all is that there are many idioms, or expressions, in English. 　3　 　
So, it is comforting to know that learning root words can help a non-native speaker use English. 　4　 Root words can help you to break down large, new words into smaller units to discover their meanings.
Learning just one root word can help you understand several words in English. 　5　 Then where can a root be found A root can be any part of a word that carries meaning:the beginning, middle or end. Prefixes (前缀), bases, and suffixes (后缀) are types of roots. The prefix appears at the beginning of a word, the base in the middle and the suffix at the end.
A. A root word is the most basic form of a word. B. The English has always been fond of all kinds of rules. C. You could say we use idioms like they’re going out of style. D. And there are almost as many exceptions (例外) of those rules! E. Most English root words came from the Greek and Latin languages. F. Another reason why English is hard to learn is the pronunciation of its words. G. So, by learning 20 or 30 root words, you can increase your vocabulary to hundreds of more new words.

Ⅴ. 完形填空
When I was in high school, the last person I wanted to be with was the foreign teacher. On one hand, I was unable to 　1　 what she said, so I did not know what responses I should give. On the other hand, I had no faith in the 　2　 of my English. To avoid making mistakes, I wrote down every word I intended to say and 　3　 all the words whose pronunciation I had not been sure of before 　4　 my hand to answer her question. In most of the cases, hardly had I made proper preparations when she brought another subject. 　5　 to express myself clearly led to a total sense of inferiority (自卑).
　6　, communication with a foreigner who came to visit my father in the last Spring Festival changed me. Because of the comfortable and delightful atmosphere, I found it unnecessary to speak English totally 　7　 on grammar rules. I paid little attention to the grammar and even used gestures, pictures and objects to make myself easily 　8　. During the conversation, he frequently nodded to show his understanding of what I said, which 　9　 encouraged me a lot. This experience made me 　10　 that the attraction of language is not only in some 　11　 literary works, but also in the understanding between two common people with 　12　 mother tongues.
It is possible for native speakers to make some 　13　 in communication, let alone people who learn English as a foreign language. Besides a good 　14　 of vocabulary and grammar, there are more other factors for effective communication such as facial expressions and gestures. With this belief, I became more willing to 　15　 with foreigners and more communication further improved my English. In this cycle, I gained the most precious fortune (财富)—confidence.

There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting.
When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”, I didn’t know what it meant. Realising I didn’t follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged.
Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces (绒头织物短上衣). I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that “pissed” means “drunk”.
Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently. She asked the young man if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn’t follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber.
In order to communicate well with the British, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realise that there are differences between American English and British English.
(　A　)1. What does the underlined phrase “jotted down” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Wrote down.
B. Left behind.
C. Looked for.
D. Settled down.
(　C　)2. Last week, Lily regretted sending her boys to watch a tennis game mainly because 　　　　.
A. she thought the game was boring
B. she wanted to spend time with her boys
C. she didn’t dress her boys in thick clothes
D. her boys got lost
(　D　)3. According to the passage, in British English 　　　　. 　
A. the word “pissed” means “angry”
B. the word “jacket” is often used
C. the word “engaged” means “tired”
D. the word “rubber” means “eraser”

Korean language studies are quickly growing in popularity across the United States. The Modern Language Association says the number of US college students taking a Korean language class rose quickly.
“That’s truly wonderful to look at a country that’s creating its reputation (名声) across the world through cultural production. It means more Americans who may have had nothing at all to do with Korea will now be attracted to the study of Korean language and culture,” said David Schaberg, a teacher at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
Rosemary Feal has worked at the Modern Language Association since 2002. She said, “Many students say they really want to get inside the culture and they want a better understanding, and so clearly language gives us access into culture and cultural expression.”
Persida Radu is learning Korean. Like many others, her interest in the language started with music. “I actually first got into Korean pop and then Korean plays, and then learning it,” she said.
Ms Feal says there is another reason for the popularity of Korean language studies. She notes that children of Korean immigrants (移民) want to speak to their parents and grandparents in Korean. She is describing people like John Park. He is taking a special class, which is designed for those who may speak a little Korean, but not enough to talk with older family members who may not speak English.
“I don’t speak Korean well enough, and of course I want to communicate with my parents, my grandparents, and so I took the class,” John said.
Sung-Ock Sohn, who teaches Korean classes at UCLA, says another reason people want to learn the language is the growing economic power of South Korea.
Robert Buswell in UCLA’s Department of Asian Languages & Culture says the popularity of Korean language training is also influencing American culture. He says it shows that American culture is becoming more Asian, or at least opening up to more Asian influences.
Language researchers say the growing number of US students taking Korean language classes won’t end soon.
(　B　)1. What is David’s attitude towards the popularity of Korean in the US
A. Worried. B. Excited.
C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
(　A　)2. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to “　　　　”.
A. Korean language
B. Korean culture
C. Korean acting
D. Korean pop
(　A　)3. Why does John learn Korean
A. To learn a family language.
B. To learn Korean pop songs.
C. To learn about his homeland.
D. To prepare for future immigration.
(　C　)4. Who holds the opinion that language learning helps one learn a culture
A. Robert.
B. Persid.
C. Rosemary.
D. Sung-Ock Sohn.

Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes Let’s have a look.
People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants. Sometimes, people may get caught with their pants down. They are found doing something they should not be doing. And, in every family, one person takes control. Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do. Then we say she wears the pants in the family.
Pants usually have pockets to hold things. Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket. Sometimes you need a belt (腰带,皮带) to hold up your pants. If you have less money than usual, you may have to tighten your belt.
I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much. I really take my hat off to them. Yet, when it comes to my own money, I spend it at the drop of a hat, which means I instantly spend it.
Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes. People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are. I dislike such people.
My father is an important person. He runs a big company. He wears a suit and tie, and a shirt with sleeves (袖子) that cover his arms. Some people who do not know him well think he is too serious and never shows his feelings openly. But I know that my father wears his heart on his sleeve. He knows how to keep his shirt on. He stays calm and never gets angry or too excited.
(　D　)1. What is this passage mainly about
A. What do pants mean in English.
B. Some special English expressions.
C. Some funny English expressions.
D. Some English expressions related to clothes.
(　B　)2. Which of the following expressions can show someone is nervous
A. Get caught with one’s pants down.
B. Have ants in one’s pants.

Ⅴ. 语法填空
Learning any language is hard, but learning English can be 　1　 (especial) difficult. Why Because 　2　 (native) of English-speaking countries use the language in ways that textbooks could never cover.
Here’s 　3　 example: you happen to hear Briton calling someone a “wazzock”. But what exactly is a wazzock This word, as a matter of fact, means a foolish person, though there’s nothing 　4　 would help you guess that. There are many strange terms like this in British English—The Oxford English Dictionary would be much 　5　 (small) than now without these strange usages filling its pages.
How can these strange words be explained Part of the answer is the British sense of humour. Britons don’t like to take things seriously, 　6　 this is clear through many British words and phrases. For example, “spending a penny” means “　7　 (use) the bathroom”. It means the days when people had to pay a penny to use a public toilet.
In an interview, British linguists (语言学家) David Crystal showed these strange words 　8　 (begin) in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, which was a great age for the theatre, when Shakespeare and other writers worked hard to keep up with the need for new plays. The theatre’s popularity also created an 　9　 (excite) to invent new words.
These strange words certainly make 　10　 more interesting to learn English, though they may not fully come across to non-native speakers.
1. 　especially　　　　 2. 　natives　
3. 　an 4. 　that　
5. 　smaller 6. 　and　
7. 　using 8. 　began

Every day, 340 million people speak it. One billion people are learning it and it is said that by 2050, half of the world’s population will be using it. What are we talking about The global language—English.
The English language started in Britain in the 5th century. It is a mixed language. It was built up when German, Scandinavian and French invaders settled in England and created a common language for communication.
Today it is the official language of the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and Ireland as well as many islands in the Caribbean. Many other countries and regions use it for politics and business, for example, India, Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines.
But global advertising and pop music mean that in most countries, you will see or hear some English. Thanks to fast food restaurants, we all know about “burgers”, “fries” and “milkshakes”. We can sing along some popular songs, even if we do not understand what we are singing!
English is a messy (杂乱的) language. Every year, dictionaries include new words that talk about popular culture, for example, computer-related words such as “blogging”, “download” and “chat room”. Also included are words that teenagers use. Who does not know “cool”, “OK” and “hello”
Other languages also influence English. Many English words come from French. Words like “cafe” and expressions like “c’est la vie (that is life)” are all part of the English language. On the other hand, the French language includes English words like “le weekend” and “le camping”. German words are also part of English. Words like “kindergarten” come from the German language.
Recently, British people have become interested in “yoga”. But the word comes from an ancient Hindu language in India.
( )1. The English language has a history of 　　　　.
A. over 2,500 years
B. over 2,000 years
C. over 1,500 years
D. over 1,000 years
( )2. Which statement is TRUE about the language of English
A. It has been changing all the time.
B. It has borrowed words from all the other languages.
C. French words are used by the English because dictionaries have French words.
D. Singers and film stars have the greatest influence on language.
( )3. Many countries and regions use English for politics and business EXCEPT 　　　　.
A. the USA B. Nigeria
C. Norway D. the Philippines
Ⅴ. 阅读七选五
English has been called one of the most difficult languages for non-native speakers to learn. One reason is that English has so many rules. 　1　 Sometimes, this leaves learners confused. For example, the order of words in a sentence can be tricky.
　2　 The pronunciation of English words cannot always be judged by their spelling. For example, there are at least six ways to pronounce the group of letters spelled o-u-g-h. And, maybe the worst thing of all is that there are many idioms, or expressions, in English. 　3　 　
So, it is comforting to know that learning root words can help a non-native speaker use English. 　4　 Root words can help you to break down large, new words into smaller units to discover their meanings.
Learning just one root word can help you understand several words in English. 　5　 Then where can a root be found A root can be any part of a word that carries meaning:the beginning, middle or end. Prefixes (前缀), bases, and suffixes (后缀) are types of roots. The prefix appears at the beginning of a word, the base in the middle and the suffix at the end.
A. A root word is the most basic form of a word. B. The English has always been fond of all kinds of rules. C. You could say we use idioms like they’re going out of style. D. And there are almost as many exceptions (例外) of those rules! E. Most English root words came from the Greek and Latin languages. F. Another reason why English is hard to learn is the pronunciation of its words. G. So, by learning 20 or 30 root words, you can increase your vocabulary to hundreds of more new words.

When I was in high school, the last person I wanted to be with was the foreign teacher. On one hand, I was unable to 　1　 what she said, so I did not know what responses I should give.

In most of the cases, hardly had I made proper preparations when she brought another subject. 　5　 to express myself clearly led to a total sense of inferiority (自卑).
　6　, communication with a foreigner who came to visit my father in the last Spring Festival changed me.

There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting.
When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”, I didn’t know what it meant. Realising I didn’t follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged.
Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces (绒头织物短上衣). I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that “pissed” means “drunk”.
Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently. She asked the young man if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn’t follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber.
In order to communicate well with the British, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realise that there are differences between American English and British English.
( )1. What does the underlined phrase “jotted down” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Wrote down.
B. Left behind.
C. Looked for.
D. Settled down.
( )2. Last week, Lily regretted sending her boys to watch a tennis game mainly because 　　　　.
A. she thought the game was boring
B. she wanted to spend time with her boys
C. she didn’t dress her boys in thick clothes
D. her boys got lost
( )3. According to the passage, in British English 　　　　. 　
A. the word “pissed” means “angry”
B. the word “jacket” is often used
C. the word “engaged” means “tired”
D. the word “rubber” means “eraser”

Korean language studies are quickly growing in popularity across the United States. The Modern Language Association says the number of US college students taking a Korean language class rose quickly.
“That’s truly wonderful to look at a country that’s creating its reputation (名声) across the world through cultural production. It means more Americans who may have had nothing at all to do with Korea will now be attracted to the study of Korean language and culture,” said David Schaberg, a teacher at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
Rosemary Feal has worked at the Modern Language Association since 2002. She said, “Many students say they really want to get inside the culture and they want a better understanding, and so clearly language gives us access into culture and cultural expression.”
Persida Radu is learning Korean. Like many others, her interest in the language started with music. “I actually first got into Korean pop and then Korean plays, and then learning it,” she said.
Ms Feal says there is another reason for the popularity of Korean language studies. She notes that children of Korean immigrants (移民) want to speak to their parents and grandparents in Korean. She is describing people like John Park. He is taking a special class, which is designed for those who may speak a little Korean, but not enough to talk with older family members who may not speak English.
“I don’t speak Korean well enough, and of course I want to communicate with my parents, my grandparents, and so I took the class,” John said.
Sung-Ock Sohn, who teaches Korean classes at UCLA, says another reason people want to learn the language is the growing economic power of South Korea.
Robert Buswell in UCLA’s Department of Asian Languages & Culture says the popularity of Korean language training is also influencing American culture. He says it shows that American culture is becoming more Asian, or at least opening up to more Asian influences.
Language researchers say the growing number of US students taking Korean language classes won’t end soon.
( )1. What is David’s attitude towards the popularity of Korean in the US
A. Worried. B. Excited.
C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
( )2. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to “　　　　”.

C. Korean acting
D. Korean pop
( )3. Why does John learn Korean
A. To learn a family language.
B. To learn Korean pop songs.
C. To learn about his homeland.
D. To prepare for future immigration.

Now I am living in Italy, working as an English language assistant. I am living with one of the 　1　 from a local school, who is very kind. At the moment, it’s a bit 　2　 as we don’t always understand each other! This is known as a 　3　 barrier (障碍), when two people cannot communicate because they don’t have a language 　4　.
Over the past few days, I have learnt that it is more 　5　 speaking a language in real life situations than speaking it in the classroom. My teachers could 　6　 things to me in English when I didn’t understand. My 　7　 doesn’t speak any English.

When we finally understand each other, we both 　12　 and have a little celebration. Sometimes I feel very 　13　 because I keep making a lot of mistakes, but my housemate corrects me nicely and tells me that I’m doing well!

Ⅱ. 阅读理解
Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes Let’s have a look.
People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants. Sometimes, people may get caught with their pants down. They are found doing something they should not be doing. And, in every family, one person takes control. Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do. Then we say she wears the pants in the family.
Pants usually have pockets to hold things. Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket. Sometimes you need a belt (腰带,皮带) to hold up your pants. If you have less money than usual, you may have to tighten your belt.
I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much. I really take my hat off to them. Yet, when it comes to my own money, I spend it at the drop of a hat, which means I instantly spend it.
Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes. People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are. I dislike such people.
My father is an important person. He runs a big company. He wears a suit and tie, and a shirt with sleeves (袖子) that cover his arms. Some people who do not know him well think he is too serious and never shows his feelings openly. But I know that my father wears his heart on his sleeve. He knows how to keep his shirt on. He stays calm and never gets angry or too excited.
( )1. What is this passage mainly about
A. What do pants mean in English.
B. Some special English expressions.
C. Some funny English expressions.
D. Some English expressions related to clothes.

Ⅴ. 语法填空
Learning any language is hard, but learning English can be 　1　 (especial) difficult. Why Because 　2　 (native) of English-speaking countries use the language in ways that textbooks could never cover.
Here’s 　3　 example: you happen to hear Briton calling someone a “wazzock”. But what exactly is a wazzock This word, as a matter of fact, means a foolish person, though there’s nothing 　4　 would help you guess that. There are many strange terms like this in British English—The Oxford English Dictionary would be much 　5　 (small) than now without these strange usages filling its pages.
How can these strange words be explained Part of the answer is the British sense of humour. Britons don’t like to take things seriously, 　6　 this is clear through many British words and phrases. For example, “spending a penny” means “　7　 (use) the bathroom”. It means the days when people had to pay a penny to use a public toilet.
In an interview, British linguists (语言学家) David Crystal showed these strange words 　8　 (begin) in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, which was a great age for the theatre, when Shakespeare and other writers worked hard to keep up with the need for new plays. The theatre’s popularity also created an 　9　 (excite) to invent new words.
These strange words certainly make 　10　 more interesting to learn English, though they may not fully come across to non-native speakers.
