It sits where the Yangtze River and Jialing River meet, making it a place with beautiful natural views and steep (陡峭的) landscapes. Over the past few years, Chongqing has grown fast. Many people visit Chongqing not just for its amazing views, but also to taste its famous spicy food, especially hot pot, which is loved by people all over the country. In Chongqing, people speak a special kind of Chinese called the Chongqing dialect (方言). This dialect is different from what people speak in other parts of China. It has its own special sounds and way of speaking that can be easily recognized by those who know it. Even though it might be hard for visitors to understand, for the people of Chongqing, it’s a big part of their daily life and culture. When people from Chongqing go to other places, they can still hear their dialect and feel connected to their hometown. It reminds them of their families and friends, making them feel warm inside. Language is like a special bridge that connects people. Even if someone is far from home, hearing their own dialect can make them feel closer to where they come from. I remember when I left for Beijing and worked in a store there. Many customers from Chongqing came into the store. When I heard the Chongqing dialect, I felt so excited and also spoke to them in Chongqing dialect. They smiled and felt more comfortable. It helped us understand each other better and gave more credence to my suggestions. Language is a powerful tool that helps us talk to one another and feel like we belong. It’s amazing how speaking in our own dialect can create strong bonds between people. Whether you are at home or far away, your language can always bring you back to your roots. So, next time you hear someone speaking your dialect, remember how special it is to connect with your culture and community! 1．Why is Chongqing called the “Mountain City”? A．Because it is located near a big river. B．Because it has many hills and mountains. C．Because it is very cold in winter. D．Because it is famous for its food. 2．What makes the Chongqing dialect different according to the passage? A．It is spoken by people of all ages. B．It has a special tone and pronunciation. C．It is easier to learn than other dialects. D．It has a rich vocabulary borrowed from other languages. 3．What does “credence” probably mean in paragraph 3? A．trust B．doubt C．disorder D．happiness 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．The writer once worked in a store in Beijing. B．Chongqing dialect is strange. C．It’s difficult to understand Chongqing dialect. D．The writer is from Chongqing. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文介绍了重庆作为“山城”的地理特征和方言文化特色，通过作者在北京工作时用方言与同乡顾客建立联系的经历，展现了方言在连接乡情和文化认同中的重要作用。 1．细节理解题。根据“Chongqing is a big city in China, often called the “Mountain City” because it has many hills and mountains.”可知，重庆被称为“山城”是因为多山。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“This dialect is different from what people speak in other parts of China. It has its own special sounds and way of speaking”可知，重庆方言的独特之处在于其特殊的声调和发音方式。故选B。 3．词义理解题。根据上下文，当作者用重庆方言与顾客交流后，“It helped us understand each other better and gave more credence to my suggestions.”可见方言交流增加了顾客对作者建议的信任。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“Many customers from Chongqing came into the store. When I heard the Chongqing dialect, I felt so excited and also spoke to them in Chongqing dialect.”可知作者听到重庆方言很兴奋，并且可以说方言，因此可推断作者来自重庆。故选D。 Read and Explore Learning a Foreign Language There are many aspects (方面) to language learning, such as how words are said, which words are chosen and what forms of words are used. All of these aspects together can make learning a foreign language difficult. But some advice might make learning a new language easier and more fun. Don’t worry too much about pronouncing words the wrong way. Pronunciation is important, of course. It helps listeners to understand what someone says more clearly. But the most important step in learning a new language is to practice speaking it. As for learning any new skill, practice makes perfect. And most of the time, the native (本地的) speaker is glad to help improve the pronunciation of the words. Don’t be afraid to guess the meaning of what someone says. There are tens of thousands of words in English. It is impossible to know all of them. You may use context (上下文) and body language to guess what others say. For example, when a person says “Hola” and waves his hand, one might guess that the person is giving a greeting. Whether it means “Hello” or “Good morning”, it is not necessarily important at that moment to know the exact meaning. Don’t give up. Learning a new language or skill always takes time. Many will give up learning because it is too hard or boring. Some may think that other people will make fun of them for making mistakes. But it’s OK to make mistakes. Nobody is perfect, after all. Don’t lose hope and keep trying. In the end, learning a new language can be difficult, but remember that it can give great advantages. Learning a language doesn’t just mean the ability to speak in that different language. Don’t forget that learning a language can also include making new friends and experiencing new cultures! Tasks: 1．What is the most important step in learning a new language? __________________________________________________________________________ 2．How do you guess the meaning of what someone says? __________________________________________________________________________ 3．Why is it OK to make mistakes when learning a new language? __________________________________________________________________________ 4． Is learning a foreign language important? Why or why not? __________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】1．The most important step in learning a new language is to practice speaking it. 2．You may/can use context and body language to guess what someone says. /By using context and body language. 3．Because nobody is perfect. 4．Yes, I think learning a foreign language is important. Because I can not only get the ability to speak in that different language but also make new friends and experience new cultures. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了学习外语的一些建议。 1．根据第三段“But the most important step in learning a new language is to practice speaking it.”可知，学习一门新语言最重要的一步是练习说。故填The most important step in learning a new language is to practice speaking it. 2．根据第五段“You may use context (上下文) and body language to guess what others say.”可知，可以通过上下文和肢体语言来猜测别人说什么。故填You may/can use context and body language to guess what someone says. /By using context and body language. 3．根据倒数第二段“But it’s OK to make mistakes. Nobody is perfect, after all.”可知，犯错误是可以的，毕竟没有人是完美的。故填Because nobody is perfect. 4．根据最后一段“Learning a language doesn’t just mean the ability to speak in that different language. Don’t forget that learning a language can also include making new friends and experiencing new cultures!”可知，学习一门语言不仅能够用不同的语言说话，也可以结交新朋友和体验新文化。故填Yes, I think learning a foreign language is important. Because I can not only get the ability to speak in that different language but also make new friends and experience new cultures. 1 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 1 Language 课时4 Communication Workshop 分层作业 核心知识速记 01基础达标 02能力提升 03拓展培优 04思维进阶 词汇 frustrated adj. 懊丧，懊恼 topic n. 主题；话题 verb n. 动词 tense /tens/ n. 时态 table n. 表格；桌子 refer v. 参考；涉及 短语 refer to 查阅；参考 have a try 尝试一下 no longer 不再 一、单词默写。 1. __________ /ˈtɒpɪk/ n. 主题；话题 2. ________ /rɪˈfɜː/ v. 参考；涉及 3. __________ /vɜːb/ n. 动词 4. ________ /frʌˈstreɪtɪd/ adj. 懊丧，懊恼 5. __________ /tens/ n. 时态 6. _______ /ˈteɪbl/ n. 表格；桌子 二、词组默写。 1. 查阅；参考__________ 2. 不再 ___________ 3. 尝试一下 __________ 三、根据要求完成句子​ 1.不要害怕犯错，尝试一下，你会从中学到东西。 Don't be afraid of making mistakes. ______ ______ ______, and you will learn from it. 2.由于污染严重，这个湖不再是游泳的安全之地。 Because of serious pollution, the lake is ______ ______ a safe place to swim. 3.如果你不明白这个术语的意思，可以查阅词典。 If you don't understand the meaning of this term, you can ______ ______ the dictionary. 4.关于环境保护的演讲结束后，我们进行了热烈的讨论。 After the speech on environmental protection, we had a heated discussion on the ______. 5.在“She loves reading.”这个句子里，“loves”是动词。 In the sentence "She loves reading.", "loves" is the ______. 6.在写英语句子时，注意时态的正确使用非常重要。 When writing English sentences, it's very important to pay attention to the correct use of ______. 7.请把你的名字和电话号码写在这张表格里。 Please write your name and phone number on this ______. 8.历史书上涉及的许多事件都改变了世界的进程。 Many of the events that history books ______ have changed the course of the world. 四 、单项选择 1．My sister and I like skating. ________ often go skating in winter.
