(23-24高一上·福建福州·期中)I am often asked how I learned to speak Chinese fluently. 1 , as a native English speaker, learning to speak in tones was the 2 part about learning Chinese for me.

In my 13 , when studying Chinese in an English-speaking environment, my classmates and I often made a 14 of the tones when speaking to one another.

(23-24高一上·上海松江·期末)Listening, speaking, reading and writing are necessary to everyday life, where language is the primary tool for expression and communication. Studying how people use language — what words and phrases we unknowingly 16 — can help us better understand ourselves and why we behave the way we do.
Linguists attempt to 17 what is individual and general about the language we use. They also try to find how it came into use and the ways it 18 over time. After researches, they consider language as a cultural, social and mental thing.
“Understanding why and how languages are different from one another tells about what is human, and in contrast, discovering what’s 19 about languages can help us understand the heart of our humanity,” said Dan Jurafsky, the Professor in Humanities and chair of the Department of Linguistics at Stanford.
The stories below show some of the ways linguists have 20 many parts of language.
Stanford linguists have found that even the smallest differences in language use is 21 the speakers’ belief, according to research. One study finds that a(n) 22 harmless sentence, such as “girls are as good as boys at math,” can in some way reflect sexist stereotypes (性别刻板印象). The statement’s grammatical form suggests that being good at math is more 23 for boys than girls, the researchers said. Language can play a(n) 24 role in showing how we and others understand the world.
Studying other languages helps us have a better understanding of 25 around the world. People speak about 7,000 languages worldwide. Although there are a lot of similar things among languages, each one is 26 , both in its structure and in the way it reflects the culture of the people who speak it. Jurafsky advised that we shouldn’t only 27 our own language — it’s also important to study other languages and how they develop as time changes. They can help us understand what is rooted in humans’ different way of communicating with one another.
Linguists study how certain speech models match special 28 , including how language can influence the buying decision or their social media use, and they both vary a lot among people. 29 , in one research paper, a group of Stanford researchers examined the differences in how two parties — Republicans and Democrats, who have different ways of speech, express themselves online. The purpose is to help us know how a(n) 30 difference of beliefs can occur on social media.
“Understanding what different groups of people say and why is the first step in deciding how we can help bring people together,” Jurafsky said.

(23-24高一上·福建福州·期中)Americans used the word “friend” in a very general way. They may call many connections friends. Americans 31 school friends, work friends, sports friends and neighborhood friends. These friendships are based 32 common interests. When the shared activity 33 , the friendship may disappear. Now Steve and Yaser are no longer classmates. Their friendship has changed. In some 34 friendship means a strong lifelong bond between two people. In these cultures friendships develop 35 , since they are built to last. American society is one of 36 changes.

The result is that American friendship develops 38 .People from the United States may 39 seem friendly. Americans often chat 40 with strangers. They exchange information about their families, hobbies and work. They may 41 warmly and say “Have a nice day” or “See you later”. Schoolmates may say, “Let’s get 42 sometime.” But American friendliness is not 43 an offer of true friendship. After an experience like Yaser’s, outsiders may consider Americans to be 44 .

(23-24高一上·山东济宁·期中)One year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms (习语), though my teacher told me about them again and again. But soon, the 46 of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
