必修第一册 UNIT 5 LANGUAGES AROUND THE WORLD
Ⅰ.阅读理解(限时7分钟)
(2024·江苏南通三模)
The language of Gaelic has been spoken in Scotland since at least the 10th century and was at one time the country's main language,widespread in towns and cities across the nation.Since the union of Scotland and England in the early 18th century,though,it has been in decline.These days you are most likely to find native Gaelic speakers in the Highlands of Scotland,with concerns having been raised about the future of the language.
Now,a new initiative from Community café and Gaelic cultural centre seeks to turn the tide with the release of the first Gaelic edition of the board game Scrabble.
Titled Scrabble Gàidhlig,it contains only the 18 letters found in the Gaelic alphabet and includes the grave accent on vowels À È Ì Ò and Ù.The frequency with which each letter appears has been reconsidered to reflect its usage in Gaelic,and scoring has been reformulated (重新设定) to reflect the respective ease and difficulty of using different letters in the language.
“We worked closely on the development of the new game with the team at An Taigh Cèilidh,who have done a fantastic job of localising the material and ensuring that the game plays really well,”said CEO Jim Harrison.“I hope everyone enjoys playing it as much as we enjoyed making it.”
“It will help people improve their oral skills and the range of their vocabulary in Gaelic,”said McLeod,professor of Gaelic at the University of Edinburgh.“In particular,many Gaelic speakers are not very confident with their written Gaelic and Gaelic Scrabble could give them a valuable boost.It will be very helpful for Gaelic learners too.Gaelic spelling is very logical once you are familiar with the system,but it does take time to master it.”
Scrabble was invented in 1948 and has been common in UK homes ever since,with about half of all households owning at least one set.It is sold in more than 120 countries and available in 28 languages and counting.
1.Why was Scrabble Gàidhlig invented?( )
A.To help keep a declining language alive.
B.To add a new type to board games.
C.To help reunite the two countries.
D.To promote a language game.
2.What is discussed about Scrabble Gàidhlig in paragraph 3?( )
A.Its origin. B.Its feature.
C.Its advantage. D.Its function.
3.How will Scrabble Gàidhlig benefit its users according to Prof McLeod?( )
A.It will improve their language competence.
B.It will boost their confidence in socialising.
C.It will raise their interest in the board game.
D.It will enhance their handson ability.
4.What is the last paragraph intended to do?( )
A.Add some background information.
B.Make some further predictions.
C.Raise a reasonable doubt.
D.Introduce a global trend.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(限时7分钟)
The first way we learn to communicate is through body language — our facial expressions,our gestures and,when we're older,our postures.Even after we figure out how to speak,this nonverbal communication still exerts (施加) a powerful and often unconscious influence over our interactions,people's first impressions of us and even our impressions of ourselves. 1 .
Change how you feel
To destress: Forcing a smile can make running easier and tough tasks less stressful.One 2012 experiment found that a grin makes holding your hand in ice water more bearable.
To feel more confident: 2 .Striking this socalled power pose shortly before an interview or athletic contest can be particularly powerful for women,who tend to sit and stand in a way that takes up less space.
To persevere: 3 .In a 2008 study,students who sat with their arms crossed kept working on an impossible problem nearly twice as long as those with their arms at their sides.
Change how others feel
4 : Studies show that holding someone's gaze may help people think you're trustworthy and intelligent.According to body language expert Carol Kinsey Goman,it can also make people think you're a good listener.
To foster connections: Mirroring the facial expressions and gestures of the person you're talking to can help them feel more comfortable.One 2011 experiment found this is an effective sales skill.
To engage or disengage: If you want to let someone know you're listening,sit facing them with your full body,knees and shoulders pointed at them. 5 .
A.To come across as sincere
B.But if you want to spread tension,angle your body slightly away—facing fullon is confrontational (对抗性的) when things get heated
C.Here's how to use body language to everyone's benefit
D.Making your index finger (食指) and middle finger crossed can help you gather strength
E.To inform people
F.Standing like Wonder Woman—legs apart,hands on hips,chest up—may make you feel more powerful
G.Crossing your arms across your chest can help you persist in solving a problem

“How can I go?”
“You are not going to a forest.You'll be fine!”
“I know,but I can't speak English properly.It's a rule at her school.”
“You can manage.GO!”
Vera turned to Kristina,“Kristina,your father is busy.I will come instead of him.”
Kristina shouted,“Mother,you can't speak English.How can you come to the conference? NO!”She plowed through her mother and ran sobbing.But Vera convinced Kristina.As there was no option,she agreed and left for school.
Vera was depressed.She felt that if only she knew English,she could avoid such situations.But “how is it possible for me to learn English while balancing so many tasks?”Suddenly,she realised that Andrei was getting late,so she got him ready and walked him to school.
In the afternoon,Vera attended the conference at the school.All the teachers and staff gave a warm welcome to Vera.Kristina kept quieting her mother.All she said were phrases like,“You are embarrassing!”“Stop talking!”and “You do not know English!”Ignoring her daughter's comments,Vera managed to keep her cool and finished the meeting.
After delivering a cake to a customer,Vera went home to start dinner.At home,she asked her motherinlaw where Kristina was.She said that Kristina had gone to study with her friends.While they were talking,Kristina walked in.
Vera asked,“Why did you go out? You can study at home,you know!”

Ⅰ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了苏格兰盖尔语的历史和现状,以及为促进该语言传承而推出的创新举措——首个盖尔语版拼字游戏Scrabble Gàidhlig的开发与意义。
1.A [推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Since the union of Scotland and England in the early 18th century,though,it has been in decline.”和第二段内容可知,Scrabble Gàidhlig的发明是为了帮助一种日渐衰落的语言保持活力。故选A项。]
2.B [段落大意题。根据文章第三段“这款名为Scrabble Gàidhlig的游戏仅使用盖尔语字母表中的18个字母,并且包含了带重音符号的元音字母À、È、Ì、Ò和Ù。每个字母的出现频率都经过了重新考量,以匹配它们在盖尔语中的实际使用情况,同时,计分系统也经过了重新设定,旨在体现出使用该语言中不同字母的相对难易程度”可知,本段主要讨论了Scrabble Gàidhlig的特点。故选B项。]
3.A [细节理解题。根据文章第五段第一句可知,Scrabble Gàidhlig将通过提高用户的口语技能和词汇范围来增强他们的语言能力。故选A项。]
4.A [推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“拼字游戏于1948年发明,此后在英国家庭中很常见,大约一半的家庭至少拥有一套。它在120多个国家销售,有28种语言可供选择,而且还在不断增加”可知,最后一段增加了Scrabble的背景信息,说明自1948年发明以来,它在英国的普及程度以及它的全球影响力。故选A项。]
Ⅱ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何使用肢体语言。
1.C [根据上文“Even after...our impressions of ourselves.”可知,上文说明了肢体语言的重要性,所以就如何使用肢体语言提出建议,且总起下文的标题。故选C项。]
2.F [根据上文“To feel more confident”可知,选项承接上文说明哪个动作使人更自信。F项中的powerful呼应confident。故选F项。]
3.G [根据下文“In a 2008 study...at their sides.”可知,选项与下文主题相关,说的都是双臂交叉在胸前的好处。故选G项。]
4.A [根据下文“Studies show...make people think you're a good listener.”可知,本段主要在说要表现出真诚。故选A项。]
5.B [根据上文“If you want to let someone know you're listening,sit facing them with your full body,knees and shoulders pointed at them.”可知,选项承接上文说明身体部分的姿势代表了不同的含义且与上文为转折关系。故选B项。]
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述联合国设立六种官方语言日,旨在庆祝文化多样性并促进语言平等使用。中文帮助世界更好地了解中国,促进全球语言文化交流,越来越多的国家将中文纳入教育体系,提升中国与世界的沟通合作。
1.to celebrate [考查动词不定式。此处用动词不定式作目的状语,表示设立语言日的目的是庆祝文化多样性以及促进六种语言的平等使用。故填to celebrate。]
2.tongues [考查名词复数。根据前面的“six”可知,此处应用tongue的复数形式tongues。表示“语言”。故填tongues。]

4.written [考查非谓语动词。此处表示“书面形式”。write与forms是被动关系,应用过去分词作定语,修饰forms。故填written。]
5.be treated [考查动词语态。language与treat是被动关系,should后接动词原形,所以用be treated,表示“每一种语言都值得尊重,并且应该被平等对待”。故填be treated。]
6.for [考查介词。provide sth.for sb.表示“为某人提供某物”。此处表示为世界提供一个更好地了解中国的独特平台。故填for。]
7.promotes [考查动词时态和主谓一致。not only...but also...连接两个并列的谓语动词,前面的provides是第三人称单数形式,此处也应用第三人称单数形式promotes,与provides保持一致。故填promotes。]
8.improving [考查非谓语动词。play a role in doing sth.表示“在做某事中起作用”。in是介词,后接动词ing形式。故填improving。]
9.the [考查冠词。the rest of表示“其余的,剩下的”。此处特指世界上除中国以外的其他国家。故填the。]

But he laughed and said,“Well,if you knew English,Kristina would not have to suffer like this.”Then he added,“This food is delicious.At least you are good at something!”That night,Vera was tossing and turning as she thought about her hurt feelings.“Like father,like daughter.If my husband doesn't respect me,then how can my children respect me? I must learn English.No matter how hard it may be,I must master English,”she thought.
The next day, she saw an advertisement from The London Language Centre on the TV. They offered English classes to newcomers.Vera called their number and signed up for a fourweek course.Every day,she managed to attend the class.She grasped every chance to communicate in English.In the last week,she passed the test and announced the good news to the family in English.Kristina excitedly hugged her and said,“Congratulations,Mum! I am proud of you and sorry for what I said.”Vera smiled happily and felt,“With determination,anything is possible.”
