WELCOME UNIT Unit 2 Exploring English Period 2　Understanding ideas 课时作业（二） 小精读 目录 CONTENTS 1 2 课时作业（二） Ⅰ　阅读 If you've been studying English for a while, you've probably worked out that there is more than one type of “English”. Everyone knows English is the national language of the UK and the US, but do you know that India has the second largest number of English speakers, followed by Nigeria? Ⅰ Ⅱ 目录 Like most languages, the two main factors (因素) that influence the way people speak English are geographical (where they are in the world) and social (the way their parents，friends and other people they talk to speak). That is why in the UK, people from London speak differently from those who live in Manchester, but there are also lots of different accents within London, which depend on social class. Ⅰ Ⅱ 目录 Australian English and South African English are good examples of how English is different all over the world. These accents sound “funny” to some other speakers of English, because they have been more influenced by other languages and accents. For example, Australian English is strongly influenced by Irish convicts (罪犯) sent by the British to Australia, who also brought their slang with them. Australian English is also influenced by Aboriginal (澳大利亚土著的) English, so we hear words like “Kangaroo” and “Billabong” (a large pool of water in the outback)． Ⅰ Ⅱ 目录 So how should a Chinese student choose which accent to use? Well, to an Australian like me, British English sounds more academic and educated than American English. However, American English is cooler—it's the language of popular culture and blockbuster movies. In the end, the choice is yours—just remember to be consistent (始终如一的). 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了受地域和社会的影响，英语有很多种口音，中国学生学习英语时要找到适合自己的口音并始终如一地坚持下去。 Ⅰ Ⅱ 目录 1．According to the passage, what most probably causes the different ways of people speaking English in the same city? A．Geography. B．Social class. C．History. D．Culture. 答案 答案：B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“but there
