汉字书写体系:连接过去与现在
尽管历史跌宕起伏,中国因其古代文明一直延续至今而闻名于世。其存续的原因颇多,但主要因素之一是汉字的书写体系。
汉字在最初是一种基于图形的语言。它可以追溯到数千年前使用龙骨的时期。龙骨指动物骨头和壳,古代中国人在上面刻画简单的符号。一些古代符号在今天的汉字中仍可看到。
到商朝(约公元前1600年—前1046年) 时,这些符号已经演变成一套成熟的书写体系。在随后的年代里,这一体系发展成不同的形式,这是由于当时中国人居住地域的分隔,导致了不同方言和汉字变体的产生。然而,这在秦朝(公元前221年—前207年)秦始皇统治时期发生了变化。秦始皇统一七个主要的诸侯国,建立了统一的国家,中国的书写体系在这个国家开始朝同一个方向发展。该书写体系对于中国人民与中国文化的统一具有非凡的意义。即使在今天,不论住在哪里,也不论说何种方言,中国人仍能通过书写(汉字)进行交流。
汉字也成为连接中国现在与过去的一个重要媒介。现代中国人可以阅读古代中国人撰写的经典作品。中国人对其书写体系推崇备至,这体现在汉字发展为一种艺术形式——书法。书法已经成为中国文化的一个重要组成部分。
今天,汉字书写体系仍是中国文化的一个重要部分。随着中国在全球事务中扮演着更为重要的角色,越来越多的国际学生开始通过中文这一奇妙的语言欣赏中国的文化和历史。

嗨,大家好,你们在英语学习中遇到的最大问题是什么呢?
刘文
嗨!我从小学开始就一直在学英语。我以前英语常常拿高分,但是现在我在听力上遇到了很大的麻烦。我听视频里的母语是英语的人交谈的时候,只能听懂几个单词。我从来就没能完全搞懂过大意。有什么建议吗?
贾鑫
听英语广播节目帮助我习惯母语人士的语速。我还会复述我所听到的内容来帮我自己培养语感。有时我甚至还给自己录音,那样一来,我可以听自己的发音,并把我的发音与广播主持人的进行比较!我最头疼的事是如何用英语得体地表达。只说"打开窗户!"容易得多,但在英语里那可能听起来很令人不快。我必须考虑自己在和谁说话,然后决定是说"请打开窗户!",还是说"请你打开窗户,好吗?",还是说甚至更长的"请问,您介意打开窗户吗?"
李锐
是的,那真的很难!我觉得一切都取决于你在跟谁说话。如果在和亲密的朋友说话,我可以用简短的请求,比如"开下窗户"——我们关系密切,彼此平等, 因此我只需说几个字,就能消除我们之间的距离。但如果是在和与自己不太亲密的人说话,我就必须把我的请求说得更长些——而且我必须以问问题的形说,不能用要求的口气,比如"请问,你能开下窗户吗?"。如果是在和比我年长的人说话,那么我就应该说"请问,您介意开下窗户吗?"。对我来说,词汇是最大的问题——生词太多了!我无法一连把所有的生词都记在脑子里,也肯定
1 have trouble with
教材语境...but now I'm having a lot of trouble with my listening. ……但是现在我在听力上遇到了很大的麻烦。
用法详解
have trouble with 是固定搭配,此处的trouble是不可数名词,意为"问题,困难",其前可以用great、some、much、no等修饰。
have trouble with sb.与某人闹矛盾
have trouble with sth.在某方面有困难
Do you have any trouble with your roommates in daily life?在日常生活中你跟室友闹矛盾吗?
If you have trouble with a lesson,repeat it the next day.如果你在学某一课的时候有困难,第二天再学一次。
相关表达归纳:
在试题中有时会把"have trouble doing sth./difficulty (in) doing sth."结构中的trouble/difficulty提前作为先行词,其后跟一个省略关系词的定语从句,让同学们选择定语从句中非谓语动词的形式。其实这类题考查的还是该结构本身,但因加入了定语从句,句子结构变得复杂,从而加大了试题的难度。如:
The project results from the difficulties. .many schools have in getting artists of any(省略了关系代词的定语从句,关系代词指代the difficulties,在定语从句中作have的宾语,构成have difficulties (in) doing sth.短语。). .sort...into schools to work with and inspire children. 该项目源于许多学校在让各类艺术家进校辅导激励孩子时所遇到的困难……

When you travel, there's sometimes a language barrier that makes communication difficult. But I've found that body language, while not 10 (exact) the same around the world, is sufficiently universal(广泛适用的), which means that we can “talk” to other people. Gestures and facial expressions allow us to show people that we don't understand, that we want a particular thing, or whatever.

汉字书写体系:连接过去与现在
尽管历史跌宕起伏,中国因其古代文明一直延续至今而闻名于世。其存续的原因颇多,但主要因素之一是汉字的书写体系。
汉字在最初是一种基于图形的语言。它可以追溯到数千年前使用龙骨的时期。龙骨指动物骨头和壳,古代中国人在上面刻画简单的符号。一些古代符号在今天的汉字中仍可看到。
到商朝(约公元前1600年—前1046年) 时,这些符号已经演变成一套成熟的书写体系。在随后的年代里,这一体系发展成不同的形式,这是由于当时中国人居住地域的分隔,导致了不同方言和汉字变体的产生。然而,这在秦朝(公元前221年—前207年)秦始皇统治时期发生了变化。秦始皇统一七个主要的诸侯国,建立了统一的国家,中国的书写体系在这个国家开始朝同一个方向发展。该书写体系对于中国人民与中国文化的统一具有非凡的意义。即使在今天,不论住在哪里,也不论说何种方言,中国人仍能通过书写(汉字)进行交流。
汉字也成为连接中国现在与过去的一个重要媒介。现代中国人可以阅读古代中国人撰写的经典作品。中国人对其书写体系推崇备至,这体现在汉字发展为一种艺术形式——书法。书法已经成为中国文化的一个重要组成部分。
今天,汉字书写体系仍是中国文化的一个重要部分。随着中国在全球事务中扮演着更为重要的角色,越来越多的国际学生开始通过中文这一奇妙的语言欣赏中国的文化和历史。

whatever/whoever/whomever/whichever还可以引导名词性从句,whenever还可引导时间状语从句,wherever还可引导地点状语从句,但此时不能与"no matter+疑问词"互换。

6.an 考查冠词。play an important part in...在……中起重要的作用。important的发音以元音音素开头,故填不定冠词an。句意:这一书写体系对中国人民与中华文化的统一起到了重要作用。

嗨,大家好,你们在英语学习中遇到的最大问题是什么呢?
刘文
嗨!我从小学开始就一直在学英语。我以前英语常常拿高分,但是现在我在听力上遇到了很大的麻烦。我听视频里的母语是英语的人交谈的时候,只能听懂几个单词。我从来就没能完全搞懂过大意。有什么建议吗?
贾鑫
听英语广播节目帮助我习惯母语人士的语速。我还会复述我所听到的内容来帮我自己培养语感。有时我甚至还给自己录音,那样一来,我可以听自己的发音,并把我的发音与广播主持人的进行比较!我最头疼的事是如何用英语得体地表达。只说"打开窗户!"容易得多,但在英语里那可能听起来很令人不快。我必须考虑自己在和谁说话,然后决定是说"请打开窗户!",还是说"请你打开窗户,好吗?",还是说甚至更长的"请问,您介意打开窗户吗?"
李锐
是的,那真的很难!我觉得一切都取决于你在跟谁说话。如果在和亲密的朋友说话,我可以用简短的请求,比如"开下窗户"——我们关系密切,彼此平等, 因此我只需说几个字,就能消除我们之间的距离。但如果是在和与自己不太亲密的人说话,我就必须把我的请求说得更长些——而且我必须以问问题的形说,不能用要求的口气,比如"请问,你能开下窗户吗?"。如果是在和比我年长的人说话,那么我就应该说"请问,您介意开下窗户吗?"。对我来说,词汇是最大的问题——生词太多了!我无法一连把所有的生词都记在脑子里,也肯定
1 have trouble with
教材语境...but now I'm having a lot of trouble with my listening. ……但是现在我在听力上遇到了很大的麻烦。
用法详解
have trouble with 是固定搭配,此处的trouble是不可数名词,意为"问题,困难",其前可以用great、some、much、no等修饰。
have trouble with sb.与某人闹矛盾
have trouble with sth.在某方面有困难
Do you have any trouble with your roommates in daily life?在日常生活中你跟室友闹矛盾吗?
If you have trouble with a lesson,repeat it the next day.如果你在学某一课的时候有困难,第二天再学一次。
相关表达归纳:
在试题中有时会把"have trouble doing sth./difficulty (in) doing sth."结构中的trouble/difficulty提前作为先行词,其后跟一个省略关系词的定语从句,让同学们选择定语从句中非谓语动词的形式。其实这类题考查的还是该结构本身,但因加入了定语从句,句子结构变得复杂,从而加大了试题的难度。如:
The project results from the difficulties. .many schools have in getting artists of any(省略了关系代词的定语从句,关系代词指代the difficulties,在定语从句中作have的宾语,构成have difficulties (in) doing sth.短语。). .sort...into schools to work with and inspire children. 该项目源于许多学校在让各类艺术家进校辅导激励孩子时所遇到的困难……

4.dating 考查现在分词。该句为there be句型,设空处位于主语china bowl(瓷碗)后,提示词为动词,故判断此处应填非谓语动词。date back to与china bowl之间为主动关系(a china bowl dates back to...),故此处需用现在分词dating构成现在分词短语作后置定语,表示“追溯到宋朝的瓷碗”。
5.to live;living 考查used的固定用法。句意:他过去生活在一个大城市里,但是现在他已经习惯了住在这个安静的村庄里。第一空表示“过去常常做某事,曾经做过某事”,用used to do sth.;第二空表示“习惯于做某事”,用get used to doing sth.。

7.when 考查定语从句的引导词。句意:我还记得那天下午,我在公共汽车上睡着了,坐过了站。设空处无提示词,设空处前面是that afternoon,后面内容意思完整,结合句意可以推测设空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词that afternoon,将先行词代入从句后为“I fell asleep on the bus and went past my stop that afternoon”,关系词在从句中作时间状语。故填when。

Many people find it difficult 1 (learn) English. Several Chinese students 2 learn English are discussing their biggest problems on an online forum.

Jia Xin thinks 5 (listen) to English radio programmes can help her get used to how fast native speakers talk. She also repeats what she hears. Sometimes she even records her voice and compares her pronunciation 6 the radio host's. Her biggest problem is how to be polite in English. Li Rui has 7 (she) own opinion about Jia Xin's problem. She thinks the way she speaks depends on who she is speaking to. If she speaks to 8 stranger, she must make her sentence 9 (long) than to a friend. The biggest problem Li Rui is faced with is vocabulary. She can't keep all the new vocabulary straight in her head and she can't remember how to use them 10 (proper), either.
1.to learn 考查动词不定式。该句中find后的it为形式宾语,difficult为宾补,此处应用动词不定式作真正的宾语。故填to learn。句意:许多人觉得学英语很难。
2.who/that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,“ 2 learn English”是一个定语从句,修饰先行词students,且定语从句中缺少主语,故用关系代词who或that。 句意:几个学习英语的中国学生正在一个网络论坛上讨论他们(学习英语时遇到的)最大的问题。
3.but 考查连词。设空处前面的“Liu Wen used to learn English well”和后面的“now he has a lot of trouble with his listening”为转折关系,故填连词but。
4.words 考查名词复数。此处指他只能听懂几个单词。a few后接可数名词的复数形式,故填words。
5.listening 考查动名词。句意:佳欣认为听英语广播节目可以帮助她习惯以英语为母语的人的说话速度。分析句子结构可知,thinks后面为省略了that的宾语从句,“ 5 (listen) to English radio programmes”在宾语从句中作主语(后面有谓语can help),表示抽象概念而不表示某次具体动作(排除不定式),故填动名词listening。
6.with/to/and 考查介词/连词。compare...with/to/and...意为“把……和……作比较”。句意:有时她甚至把自己的声音录下来,然后比较自己的发音和电台主持人的发音。
7.her 考查代词。设空处后面为“own+名词”,故填形容词性物主代词her,表示“她自己的”。
8.a 考查冠词。句意:如果她和一个陌生人说话,她一定使自己的句子比和一个朋友说话时的长。stranger意为“陌生人”,为可数名词,此处应填不定冠词,表泛指(一个),stranger以辅音音素开头,故填a。
9.longer 考查形容词比较级。由设空处后面的than可知,此处表示比较,应用形容词比较级longer。
10.properly 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,设空处修饰动词use,应用副词properly作状语。
七.语法填空
When I was in France, I 1 (try) to practise my language skills. However, my 2 (break) French was so poor that sometimes I couldn't make myself understood in a conversation, so it ended 3 a complete communication breakdown. I did my best to pronounce words clearly but of course I was not a native 4 (speak) or anywhere speaker approaching that level, so people often misunderstood me.
The other day, I met someone from another part of the country 5 had such a strong accent that at times I found it virtually incomprehensible. 6 was hard to believe that we shared the same language, to be honest. And it wasn't just the accent—as 7 matter of fact, he was speaking a different dialect and using slang(俚语), 8 (make) it difficult for me to follow him. We had to get someone 9 (translate) for us.
When you travel, there's sometimes a language barrier that makes communication difficult. But I've found that body language, while not 10 (exact) the same around the world, is sufficiently universal(广泛适用的), which means that we can “talk” to other people. Gestures and facial expressions allow us to show people that we don't understand, that we want a particular thing, or whatever.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者结合自己的亲身经历,建议人们在旅游时,如果遇到语言不通所造成的交流障碍,可以利用肢体语言和面部表情来表达自己的想法。
1.tried 考查动词时态。分析句子成分可知,设空处作主句中的谓语动词,由时间状语从句When I was in France中的时态(一般过去时)可知此处也应用一般过去时。故填tried。
2.broken 考查形容词。设空处后是名词French,所以此处应用形容词作定语,形容词broken意为“不流利的;说得结结巴巴的”。故填broken。
3.in 考查介词。句意:然而,我那不流利的法语实在是太糟糕了,以至于有时我无法在谈话中让别人理解我的意思,因此谈话以彻底的交流失败告终。end in...意为“以……告终”。故填in。
4.speaker 考查名词。此处指“我”不是(法语的)母语使用者,native speaker指的是“母语使用者”。设空处前有冠词a,所以应用单数名词。故填speaker。
5.who 考查定语从句的引导词。句意:前几天,我遇到一个来自这个国家另一个地方的人,他的口音很重,以至于有时我几乎听不懂。设空处前面的“from another part of the country”是介词短语作后置定语,修饰someone,设空处无提示词,“ 5 had such a strong accent”中缺少主语,由句意可知其主语即前面的someone,由此可知设空处引导定语从句,定语从句的先行词为someone,应用关系代词who。
6.It 考查代词。句意:说实话,很难相信我们说相同的语言。分析句子成分可知,设空处作形式主语,动词不定式短语“to believe that we shared the same language”为真正的主语,故用it作形式主语。设空处位于句子开头,首字母要大写。故填It。
7.a 考查冠词。句意:这不仅仅是口音的问题——事实上,他说的是一种不同的方言,而且使用了俚语,这让我很难听懂他的话。as a matter of fact意为“事实上”。故填a。
8.making 考查现在分词。句意见上一题。分析句子成分可知,句中已有谓语动词且设空处前面无并列连词,故此处应用非谓语动词,结合句意可知此处表示自然而然的结果,应用现在分词作结果状语。故填making。
9.to translate 考查动词不定式。句意:我们不得不找个人为我们翻译。get sb. to do sth.意为“让某人做某事”。故填to translate。
10.exactly 考查副词。not exactly the same意为“不完全相同”,此处应用副词作状语。故填exactly。
