作业(二) 语篇提能训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·广州模拟)Born in France, but raised in Spain, linguistics and literature professor Juan José Ciruela Alferez from the University of Granada is passionate about Chinese literature and has been doing some research about it. With painstaking effort, his Spanish translation of a Chinese classic was published last year.
Ciruela said translating the novel was an interesting challenge. In recent years, many Chinese works have been introduced to Spain. However, as most of them had been translated first into English and then from that_language into Spanish, much of the originality was lost. For this reason, when the Spanish publishing house Kailas contacted Ciruela to translate it directly from Chinese, he accepted the mission immediately, even if it presented difficulties like a heavy workload within a short time limit.
“I encountered various difficulties, especially at the beginning of the task,” said Ciruela in an interview.“This novel, in particular, needs a prior reading process in which the translator gets into the plot and the characters, since at first it is difficult to enter the world that the novel constantly raises. So I read the novel first in Chinese, paying attention to all those details and how all of that could be translated in a way that the Spanish readers would understand.”
For Ciruela, the most important criterion when translating is fidelity (忠诚) to the original text. While it is true that one cannot always be strictly faithful, he believes translators should not be too far from original texts. For example, the translation of culturemes (expressions of culture in language) is quite complicated due to the cultural gap between Spanish and Chinese. Ciruela believes that these must always be appropriate to the specific function they perform within the text, in each specific case and moment.

A.His passion for Spanish literature.
B.His determination to popularize it.

D.The loss of diversity in Spanish translation.

3.What aspect of the translation task does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.Its barrier. B.Its principle.
C.Its style. D.Its meaning.

(2024·淮安模拟)Can you imagine there being a community where boys and girls growing up together can finally speak different languages? In Ubang Nigeria, it really happens. It's not exactly clear what percentage of the words in the men's and women's languages are different, but there are enough examples to make sentences sound different when spoken by the opposite sex. For “clothing”, men use the word “nki”, while women say “ariga”; “kitchi” means tree for men, while women say “okweng”. These are not just some slight pronunciation differences, but totally different words.“It's almost like two different lexicons (词汇集),” a language expert, Chi Chi Undie said. “There are a lot of words that men and women share in common, but there are others which are totally different depending on your sex. They don't sound alike, and don't have the same letters. They are completely different words.”
Interestingly, both men and women are able to understand each other perfectly in Ubang, as both boys and girls grow up around their parents and get to learn both languages, but by the age of 10, boys are expected to speak in the male tongue. It seems that there is a stage the male will reach and he discovers he is not using the rightful language. When he starts speaking the men's language, you know the maturity is coming into him.
No one really knows how or why the double-language tradition of Ubang began. Chi Chi Undie believes the two languages are the result of a “double-sex culture” where men and women operate in two separate spheres (范围) and live in separate worlds that rarely come together. However, she admits this is a weak theory, as the double-sex culture is present in many parts of Africa, where there are no different languages for men and women.
Today, with English words constantly entering the lexicon of young Nigerians, Ubang's two languages are in danger of being lost forever. Worse still, neither the male nor female language is written down, so they both rely on young people passing them down to the next generation.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。在尼日利亚的乌邦,在一个社区里一起长大的男孩和女孩最终会说不同的语言,这是乌邦独特的双语传统,但是现在这种传统正面临消失的危险。
5.What do we know about languages in Ubang?
A.Word differences account for a high percentage.
B.Men and women speak totally different languages.
C.Word differences partly exist between the opposite sex.
D.Men and women pronounce differently on the same word.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It's not exactly clear ... when spoken by the opposite sex.”可知,在乌邦的语言中词汇差异部分存在于异性之间。
6.What does the underlined word “maturity” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Graduation. B.Adventure.
C.Responsibility. D.Adulthood.
解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句中的“but by the age of 10, boys are expected to speak in the male tongue”和最后一句中的“When he starts speaking the men's language”可知,此处是指男孩要成人了。由此推知,画线词maturity意为“发育成熟,长大成人”。
7.What does Chi Chi Undie want to explore in paragraph 3?
A.The change of double-sex culture.
B.The theory of double-sex culture.
C.The origin of double-language tradition.
D.The sphere of double-language tradition.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“No one really knows how or why the double-language tradition of Ubang began.”可知,Chi Chi Undie想探索双语传统的起源。
8.How does the author feel about the disappearing languages in Ubang?
A.Frightened. B.Concerned.
C.Confused. D.Stressed.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,作者认为现在乌邦双语的传承状况很糟糕,是很令人担忧的。
Ⅱ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was February 21, the International Mother Language Day, a day to celebrate language and cultural diversity. At the end of the day, Mr. Brown gave us an assignment: “All of you are to make a presentation about your native language.” Max, whose family came from France and I, who was born in China, were chosen to be the first two presenters. However, both of us were at a loss, wondering what should be talked about. Needless to say, there were many questions about what he meant. What should be talked about? How many sentences are needed? What format? Do we need to write down everything?
On the way home from school, Max and I scratched (抓) our heads, trying to figure out the meaning of Mr. Brown's assignment. At first, we thought he was just giving an assignment to get us back into the habit of homework. We also wondered if it had more to do with how we presented to our classmates. Eventually, we both decided we would impress Mr. Brown and the class with some unique answers.
The next day, Max started his presentation by asking the class a question: “Is café an English word?” Some of the students nodded while a few shook their heads. Max continued with a smile and told the class that “café” actually came from French. “As one of the most spoken languages in the whole world, French has a charm of its own!” Max said. He instructed the class as if he were a university professor: “It is said that about 45% of the modern English words came from French.” After writing some common French words on the blackboard, he began to teach the class how to pronounce them. Everyone, including Mr. Brown, applauded when he was done, I clapped along, excited and nervous about my following presentation.
注意:1.写作词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
I was ready to do some fun activities with the class.

参考范文:
I was ready to do some fun activities with the class. I started my presentation by sharing some interesting facts about Chinese language. “Did you know that Chinese characters were invented over 3,000 years ago?” I asked the class. They looked surprised and intrigued. I continued, “Also, Chinese is a tonal language, which means the meaning of a word changes depending on the tone used to say it.” I then demonstrated this by pronouncing a few Chinese words with different tones, and the class tried to guess their meanings. They were fascinated by the complexity of the language, and I was happy to share my culture and language with them.
Mr.Brown was totally pleased with our presentations. He commended Max and me for our creativity and knowledge about our native languages. He also mentioned how important it was to celebrate and appreciate different languages and cultures. “Language is the key to understanding different perspectives and building relationships with people from all over the world,” he said. He then announced that the class would have more opportunities to learn about different languages and cultures in the future, and encouraged us to continue to share our own experiences and knowledge.
