Just at that moment, he noticed the dancing leaves and the nearby stream, both 6 making beautiful sounds in the gentle wind. Suddenly, he got an idea! He could try to 7 in a special way! He spent days collecting smooth stones. He learned to hit them with his beak at just the right speed to match the natural sound of the forest. He never gave up practising even though it’s 8 and gave him a headache. When the day finally arrived, the nightingale performed first. Her voice earned a lot of applause.

Then, in 43 CE, the Romans arrived and took control of most of the island. They brought Latin with them, which left its mark on the land, though it didn’t become the everyday language for most locals. The big turning point came in the 5th century CE. After the Romans left, the Anglo-Saxons from northern Europe settled in Britain. Their language became the basis of Old English, the first version of what we now call English. Later, in 793, the Vikings from Scandinavia began raiding Britain’s coasts. They set up their own kingdoms and many Norse words were added to the language, mixing it with Old English. In 1066, another huge change happened: the Normans from France conquered England. They brought their own French, which became the language of the government and the rich. While common people kept speaking Old English, the two languages mixed together over time. The grammar and vocabulary shifted a lot, and slowly, Old English turned into Middle English. By the late Middle Ages, between 1400 and 1600, the language started to look more like the English we know today. Spelling and pronunciation changed a great deal, and by the time William Shakespeare wrote his famous plays, the language was already very different from Middle English. Finally, starting in the 1800s, the Industrial Revolution changed everything. The British began trading all over the world, and English spread to every corner of the globe. What started as a language of small groups in Britain became a global language, used by people everywhere. 阅读回答问题 1.What event helped form Middle English? 2.What changes took place in English between 1400 and 1600? 3.What made English become a global language? 4.When did English become quite different from Middle English? 5.What does the passage mainly talk about?

C Once upon a time there lived a great storyteller whose stories gave both children and adults a lot of pleasure and enjoyment. He told a story about an emperor who loved new clothes and about a tiny girl who was no taller than a person’s thumb （拇指）. That storyteller's name was Hans Christian Andersen. He was born in Denmark. He wrote more than 150 stories, which are told in many countries. He became the first author to write and publish his own fairy tales. Andersen grew up poor. His father was a shoemaker, and his mother could hardly read. Andersen once said, “Most of what I have written is a reflection of myself.” His fairy tale, The Ugly Duckling, about a duckling that is laughed by other animals until it grows up to be a swan （天鹅）, was written according to his own experience as a child. His other famous fairy tales include The Little Match Girl, The Daughter of the Sea and The Snow Queen. Andersen’s fans celebrated the anniversary （周年纪念日） of his 200th birthday in 2005. People are told his fairy tales in many countries. They organized different kinds of celebrations to remind people ofAndersen and Andersen’s fairy tales. In Denmark, 15-foot-tall puppets（木偶）danced in mid-air every night from May until September. In Singapore, the post office published a series （系列） of Andersen stamps. And in Egypt, the library in Alexandria showed Andersen's books, which were translated into 150 languages! In New York City’s Central Park, storyteller Ellen Shapiro told The Real Princess to a crowd of children. “Andersen's stories have everything,” Shapiro told the reporter. “They are funny and sad and enjoyable. I never get tired of them. ” Storytellers such as Shapiro love continuing Andersen’s tradition. Shapiro doesn’t memorize her favorite stories, however. Instead, she learns what happens at the beginning, middle, and end. She changes the words of a story to fit the listeners. So no two tellings of a story are exactly alike. 1. What can we know about Andersen according to the passage? A. He was born in Denmark in 1820. B. He was from a rich family. C. He was the first author to write and publish his own fairy tales. D. He was laughed by other children because he was a poor storyteller. 2. Which statement about Andersen’s 200th birthday anniversary celebrations is TRUE? A. In Denmark, puppets danced every night for half a year. B. In Singapore, the post office published a series of Andersen stamps. C. In Egypt, Andersen's fans translated his books into 150 languages. D. In the US, Ellen Shapiro told “The Ugly Duckling” to a crowd of children. 3. How many Andersen’s fairy tales are mentioned in this passage? A. 5 B. 7 C. 15 D. 150 4. What can we know about Shapiro from the passage? A. She doesn’t like following Andersen’s tradition. B. She organized Andersen’s 200th birthday anniversary celebrations. C.

Then, in 43 CE, the Romans arrived and took control of most of the island. They brought Latin with them, which left its mark on the land, though it didn’t become the everyday language for most locals. The big turning point came in the 5th century CE. After the Romans left, the Anglo-Saxons from northern Europe settled in Britain. Their language became the basis of Old English, the first version of what we now call English. Later, in 793, the Vikings from Scandinavia began raiding Britain’s coasts. They set up their own kingdoms and many Norse words were added to the language, mixing it with Old English. In 1066, another huge change happened: the Normans from France conquered England. They brought their own French, which became the language of the government and the rich. While common people kept speaking Old English, the two languages mixed together over time. The grammar and vocabulary shifted a lot, and slowly, Old English turned into Middle English. By the late Middle Ages, between 1400 and 1600, the language started to look more like the English we know today. Spelling and pronunciation changed a great deal, and by the time William Shakespeare wrote his famous plays, the language was already very different from Middle English. Finally, starting in the 1800s, the Industrial Revolution changed everything. The British began trading all over the world, and English spread to every corner of the globe. What started as a language of small groups in Britain became a global language, used by people everywhere. 阅读回答问题 1.What event helped form Middle English? The mix of Old English and French. 2.What changes took place in English between 1400 and 1600? Its spelling and pronunciation changed a lot. 3.What made English become a global language?

The history and development of English.

He told a story about an emperor who loved new clothes and about a tiny girl who was no taller than a person’s thumb （拇指）. That storyteller's name was Hans Christian Andersen. He was born in Denmark. He wrote more than 150 stories, which are told in many countries. He became the first author to write and publish his own fairy tales. Andersen grew up poor. His father was a shoemaker, and his mother could hardly read. Andersen once said, “Most of what I have written is a reflection of myself.” His fairy tale, The Ugly Duckling, about a duckling that is laughed by other animals until it grows up to be a swan （天鹅）, was written according to his own experience as a child. His other famous fairy tales include The Little Match Girl, The Daughter of the Sea and The Snow Queen. Andersen’s fans celebrated the anniversary （周年纪念日） of his 200th birthday in 2005. People are told his fairy tales in many countries. They organized different kinds of celebrations to remind people ofAndersen and Andersen’s fairy tales. In Denmark, 15-foot-tall puppets（木偶）danced in mid-air every night from May until September. In Singapore, the post office published a series （系列） of Andersen stamps. And in Egypt, the library in Alexandria showed Andersen's books, which were translated into 150 languages! In New York City’s Central Park, storyteller Ellen Shapiro told The Real Princess to a crowd of children. “Andersen's stories have everything,” Shapiro told the reporter. “They are funny and sad and enjoyable. I never get tired of them. ” Storytellers such as Shapiro love continuing Andersen’s tradition. Shapiro doesn’t memorize her favorite stories, however. Instead, she learns what happens at the beginning, middle, and end. She changes the words of a story to fit the listeners. So no two tellings of a story are exactly alike. 1. What can we know about Andersen according to the passage? A. He was born in Denmark in 1820. B. He was from a rich family. C. He was the first author to write and publish his own fairy tales. D.
