Do you think native English speakers are best at speaking the English language? Some experts (专家) believe that when it comes to successfully communicating in English, non-native speakers are actually easier to understand.
“Often you have a room full of people from different countries communicating in English and all understand each other. And when suddenly the American or British person walks into the room and nobody can understand them,” Chia Susan Chong, an English culture expert, told the BBC.
Chong said this happens because non-native speakers communicate more carefully. “English speakers, on the other hand, often talk too fast, use slang (说俚语) and mention their countries that others may not understand.” Chong said.
As an Australian living in China, this is something that I keep in mind when talking to my Chinese colleagues. I’m careful to speak slowly and use words. I know they will understand. But sometimes, we confuse (使困惑) each other. Once, I told my colleague, which is slang for “no problem”. However, she thought I was calling her a drama queen (大惊小怪的人) and got upset.
But don’t worry. Experts say that it’s the native speakers’ fault (错误) if they can’t understand you, not yours. “English speakers with no other language never have the awareness (意识) to speak English internationally,” English language teacher Dale Coulter told the BBC.
The best way to avoid any trouble might be to ask for some patience. If you find it difficult to understand an English speaker, don’t be afraid to ask them to slow down and speak clearly.

【导语】本文是议论文,探讨英语交流现象:非英语母语者沟通时更容易互相听懂,母语者因语速快、多用俚语反而容易造成理解障碍,文中举例、分析原因并给出解决办法。
【11题详解】
根据第一段“Do you think native English speakers are best at speaking the English language?”可知,作者通过提出一个问题来开始这篇文章。
【12题详解】
根据第二段“Often you have…can understand them”可知,来自不同国家的人用英语交流能互相理解,但当母语为英语的人(如美国人或英国人)进入房间时,却没人能听懂他们。选项B准确概括了这一现象。
【13题详解】
根据“non-native speakers communicate more carefully”以及下文提到的“talk too fast”可知,这里的"communicate"指的是口头交流。C选项符合题意。
【14题详解】
根据最后一段“The best way to avoid any trouble might be to ask for some patience. If you find it difficult to understand an English speaker, don’t be afraid to ask them to slow down and speak clearly.”可知,解决听不懂的方法是请对方慢下来并说清楚。
【15题详解】
根据“母语者常使用俚语,导致各国外国人无法理解,说明俚语在国际交流中有时不合适。”可知,有时俚语不适合国际交流。C选项符合题意。
D

【导语】本文探讨了光污染问题。过去人们能看到满天繁星,如今城市灯光使夜空变亮,人们难以看到星星。光虽重要,但过度光照会影响健康,伤害动物,形成光污染。幸运的是,科学家正在努力寻找减少光污染的方法,如给路灯加罩使光向下照射,这既能节省能源,也有益于人类和自然。
【36题详解】
句意:很久以前,人们能看到许多星星。lots of后需接可数名词复数。根据上下文,夜晚仰望天空看到的应是“星星”。备选词“star”符合语义,其复数形式为stars。

【38题详解】
句意:光对我们来说非常重要且有益。be helpful for是固定搭配,意为“对……有益”。此处需要一个形容词与important并列作表语。根据上下文,光能照明、助植物生长,说明是“有益的”。备选词“help”的形容词形式为helpful。
【39题详解】
句意:但是过多的光并不好。此处需要一个连词表示转折关系。根据上下文,前文说光重要,后文说过多光不好,构成转折,“但是”符合逻辑。备选词“but”符合语义,句首单词首字母需大写。
【40题详解】
句意:我们需要一些时间在无光的环境中好好睡觉。with no light意为“没有光”。此处需要一个形容词修饰名词light,表示“没有”。根据上下文,好好睡觉需要“没有”光的环境。备选词“no”符合语义。

49. as 50. to
【解析】
【导语】本文主要围绕作者家乡村庄的变化展开。
【46题详解】
句意:现在我想告诉你这些年发生在我们村的巨大变化。根据时间状语“during these years”且空后有过去分词,可知句子是现在完成时,结构为“have/has+过去分词”;空处所在句是修饰名词changes的定语从句,先行词changes是复数名词,谓语动词用原形have。
【47题详解】
句意:没有汽车和公交车道。根据“there”和句意,可知句子是there be存现句;根据there be句型的就近原则,no road表示否定,视作单数,be动词用单数形式;此处描写的是村庄过去的情况,应用一般过去时,故填was。
【48题详解】
句意:购物也不是容易的工作。空处修饰easy job,表示泛指,且easy是元音音素开头的单词,应填不定冠词an。

【51题详解】
下文A回答“Yes. We can save electricity by turning off lights when we’re not using them.”表示“是的,我们不用灯时关灯就能省电”,此处应是一个一般疑问句,此处B是在询问A是否有具体的建议或想法。故用“Do you have any ideas”衔接下文。

The Change Made Me Better
There are many things in my life that can help me to be better. For example, I used to be weak because of my bad living habits, but now I am stronger and healthier.
