三、阅读理解

A

Last year, I was terrible at English. I always scored around 50/100 on tests. My teacher, Ms. Li, suggested I try an AI learning app called “Word Master”. At first, I used it only for playing vocabulary games late at night. After a month, my score dropped to 45!

Then Ms. Li asked me, “Are you using the app wisely?” I realized my mistake. The next day, I made a plan:

1. Study 15 words daily with the app’s interactive stories.

2. Practice pronunciation using its voice-check tool.

3. No games after 9 PM — only serious learning.

The app became my 24/7 tutor (全天候的导师). It explained grammar rules in simple cartoons and even reminded me to review old words. Slowly, my test scores climbed — 60, 75, and finally 85/100!

Last week, I won our school’s English speech contest. When Ms. Li congratulated me, I said, “AI didn’t replace you—it helped me follow your advice better! ”

All languages change over time. New vocabulary is often required for the latest inventions or ideas. But a language can also change for reasons that are not clear.

Language changes whenever speakers communicate with each other. People from different places clearly speak differently, but even within the same small community, people speak differently depending on their age, origin, and social and educational background. When we communicate with these different speakers, in different situations, we hear new words and expressions and can make them a part of our own speech. Even if your family has lived in the same area for generations, you can probably see a number of differences between the language you use and the way your grandparents speak. When enough time has passed, the influence of these changes becomes clearer.

During the 18th century, Jonathan Swift, the Irish writer, and many other people felt the English language was in serious decline (衰落) and that a national organization—like those in France and Italy—should be created to save the language. Swift once wrote that we should find a way to stop our language from changing. Even today, we hear people complaining about a lack of “standards (标准)” in spoken and written English. New words and expressions, or changes in grammar, are often considered bad.

More experts believe that change in language is unavoidable. Change is a way of keeping a language alive and useful, and gives speakers different ways of saying things with extremely small differences in meaning and ways of expressing completely new ideas. The organizations set up in France and Italy have had little success in reducing the amount of change in French or Italian.

In 1747, Samuel Johnson wrote about his desire to write a dictionary that would fix the pronunciation of English and keep it pure (纯正的). But when he completed the dictionary ten years later, he admitted in his introduction that fixing a language was impossible. Like it or not, language is always changing and English will go on doing so in many creative and—to some people—annoying ways.

(  )7．What does Jonathan Swift think of language change?

A．He thinks it is hopeful.     B．He thinks it is unfear.

A．To create some new words.         B．To include some foreign words.
