A 教材同步单元练习 一、 阅读理解 Passage 1 The English language is a magnificent tapestry woven from threads of many different tongues.Its vocabulary,enormous and ever-expanding,is not a random collection of sounds and symbols but a living record of history,conquest,trade,and cultural exchange.To understand how English became the global language it is today,one must look at the layers of its development,each invasion or influence adding a new texture to the linguistic fabric. The story begins with the Celts,whose languages left only a faint mark on English,mostly in place names like "Thames"and "Avon."The real transformation began in the 5th century with the arrival of the Angles,Saxons,and Jutes from what is now Germany and Denmark.Their Germanic dialects formed the bedrock of Old English,the language of Beowulf This was a heavily inflected language,where word endings changed to show grammatical relationships,much like modem German.Common words like "water,""father,"and"day"come from this period,forming the core of our everyday speech Then came the Viking invasions.From the 8th to the 11th centuries,Norse settlers poured into Britain, bringing their own North Germanic language.Because Old English and Old Norse were similar,they often coexisted,and in many cases,the Norse word replaced the English one.The most profound impact was on pronouns and common verbs.For instance,the English"they,""them,"and "their"are Viking imports,as are the verbs"take,”“get,”and“give.”This interaction helped to simplify English grammar by weakening the case system. The single most transformative event,however,was the Norman Conquest of 1066.The Normans,who were originally Vikings but had adopted French culture and language,brought a new ruling class to England.For the next 300 years,French was the language of the court,the govemment,and the law, while English remained the language of the common people.This created a fascinating linguistic class divide.The simple,earthy words for basic concepts were often English,while the more refined or formal terms were French.The animal in the field had an English name (cow,sheep,pig),but once it was cooked and served at the noble's table,it took a French name (beef,mutton,pork) This layered history means that English often has synonyms with different shades of meaning and origin Akingly"act is from Old English,a"royal"one is from French,and a regal"one is from Latin Learning about these origins is like becoming a linguistic detective.When you encounter a word,you can trace its heritage and understand why it might sound more formal or more familiar.This knowledge is not just an academic exercise,it is a powerful tool for deepening your comprehension and enriching your own expression.As the article"Rooting for Words"suggests,digging into a word's past can illuminate its present meaning,allowing you to use language with greater precision and appreciation. ()1.What is the main purpose of the article? A.To argue that English is the most difficult language to learn. B.To explain how historical events have shaped the English vocabulary. C.To list the specific grammatical rules borrowed from different languages D.To compare the structure of Old English with that of modern German. ()2.The author uses the example of"cow"and "beef'to illustrate A.the class division reflected in the language after the Norman Conquest B.the different taste preferences of the English and the French C.the grammatical simplification that occurred in English D.the replacement of English words by Viking words ()3.What can be inferred about the word"regal"? A.It is a word with a more down-to-earth feel than 'kingly." B.It was likely brought to England by the Viking invaders. C.It has its roots in Latin,entering English through French or scholarly use. D.It became popular after the year 1066. ()4.According to the text,how did the Viking invasions affect the English language? A.They introduced the use of French formal vocabulary B.They had little lasting impact compared to the Norman Conquest. C.They added many words for official and legal matters. D.They influenced common grammar and everyday words. ()5.Which of the following best describes the author's attitude toward leaming word onigins? A.Skeptical and dismissing it as a hobby. B.Enthusiastic and viewing it as a practical skill C.Neutral,simply presenting historical facts D.Critical,questioning the value of this knowledge. Passage 2 In the bustling digital age,new words and phrases emerge at a dizzying speed.Social media,subcultures, and global events constantly generate linguistic novelties that become part of our everyday speech before we even realize it.But how do these new words actually become official?Who decides that"selfie"or "meme"deserves a place in the dictionary?The process is less a matter of authority and more a story of observation and detection. Take the word "blended,"which we often hear in the context of a "blended family"or "blended learning."This term doesn't come from a single inventor or a council of experts.Instead,lexicographers -the people who write dictionaries-act like linguistic scientists.Their primary tool is not a pen but a massive digital database called a corpus.A corpus is a collection of texts from millions of sources, including books,newspapers,blogs,social media posts,and transcripts of spoken conversations.By analyzing this corpus,lexicographers can detect when a word enters common use,how its meaning changes,and how frequently it appears. The origin of a new word can often be traced.For example,the word"hangry"(a blend of hungry"and "angry first appeared in the 1950s in a psychological joumnal but didn't truly take off until the 2010s.By using their corpus,lexicographers could detect a rapid increase in the word's frequency across social media and lifestyle articles.This strategy of tracking frequency is crucial.A word must demonstrate sustained and widespread use over several years before it is considered for inclusion.A viral word that disappears in a week,like a flash in the pan,won't make the cut. But frequency alone is not enough.The word must also represent a lasting concept or fill a recognizable gap in the language.The word"crowdfunding,"for instance,didn't just become popular;it named a new social and economic phenomenon that had no simple label.Similarly,"to google"became a generic verb for an online search,representing a cultural shift.When a new word achieves this level ofrecognition, experts in the field-linguists and lexicographers-begin to evaluate it. The final step in the application for dictionary entry is more complex.It involves reviewing the evidence: citations from a wide range of sources showing how the word is used in context.The word must be used by a diverse group of people,not just a small niche.This requirement helps contain the spread of purely slang or jargon that won't be understood universally.So,the next time you see a word in the dictionary, remember that it earned its place.It was not handed down from on high but was recognized through a scientific,evidence-based approach that mirrors the very process oflanguage growth itself dynamic, democratic,and endlessly fascinating. ()1.What is the main role of a lexicographer as described in the text? A.To invent new words for modem phenomena B.To act as a gatekeeper who bans unofficial words. C.To scientifically observe and record language use D.To teach the public the correct origin of words. ()2.What does the wordcorpus"refer to in the context of the passage? A.A dictionary ofnew words. B.A collection of language data for analysis. C.A committee that judges new words D.A theory about how language changes. ()3.Why did the word "hangry"not make it into dictionaries until the 2010s? A.It was considered too informal and offensive B.It lacked the sustained and widespread use needed. C.It was invented too recently by a single author. D.Its meaning was already covered by other words. ()4.What is a key criterion for a new word to be added to the dictionary? A.It must be widely used in social media for one month. B.It must be invented by a famous person C.It must fill a meaningful gap in the language. D.It must be easy to spell and pronounce. ()5.The author's primary purpose in writing the last paragraph is to A.criticize the slow process of adding new words B.provide a step-by-step guide for inventing words C.emphasize that dictionary entry is a rigorous and earned honor D.suggest that the public has no role in the acceptance ofnew words 二、完形填空 The art of reading is not a passive activity.It is an active process of meaning-making,a dance between the reader and the text.To truly master this dance,one must move beyond simply recognizing words and learn to see the bigger picture.Good readers,like skilled detectives,use a range of strategies to (1)clues and construct understanding. One powerful strategy is to use context.When you encounter a word whose origin or meaning is unknown,you don't need to immediately reach for a dictionary.The sentences around the unfamiliar word often provide enough (2)to guess its meaning.For example,if the text says,"The teacher's approach to the problem was (3),using a blend of creative thinking and logic,"the surrounding words help you understand that the method was balanced.This ability to infer meaning from (4)is a hallmark of a fluent reader. Another common approach is to look for text structure.Recognizing that a text is organized as a cause and effect,a problem and solution,or a compare and contrast can greatly (5)your comprehension.If you see signal words like 'however"or"on the other hand,"you know the author is about to (6)a different point of view.This strategy allows you to predict where the text is going and organize the information in your mind. But perhaps the most important (7)of an expert reader is the ability to question the text.This means not just accepting everything you read as fact,but(8)the author's purpose,the evidence provided,and any possible bias."Does the author represent both sides of the argument fairly?"Is this a fact or an opinion?"Asking these questions helps you to (9)a deeper understanding rather than just skimming the surface. Applying these strategies-using context,recognizing structure,and questioning the textis not a natural born talent.It is a skill that can be (10)with deliberate practice.Over time,these actions become automatic.The reader no longer has to (11)think about them;they become part of the reading process itself.This is the secret to becoming a true master ofreading,someone who does not just consume words but (12)with them,creating a rich and personal connection to the ideas on the page 1.A.detect B.create C.ignore D.prevent 2.A.problems B.variety C.information D.noise 3.A.complex B.innovative C.specific D.common 4.A.experts B.context C.memory D.tradition 5.A.limit B.enhance C.detect D.represent 6.A.confirm B.support C.present D.avoid 7.A.strategy B.origin C.definition D.example 8.A.accepting B.rejecting C.analyzing D.ignoring 9.A.abandon B.ignore C.challenge D.construct 10.A.taught B.mastered C.given D.offered 11.A.actively B.rarely C.slowly D.nervously 12.A.argue B.fight C.dance D.replace 三、阅读短文回答问题 Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences. Every day,we use thousands of words,but how often do we stop to think about where they come from? The stories behind our everyday language are often full of surprises.Consider the word"salary."It comes from the Latin word"salarium,"which was a payment given to Roman soldiers.This payment was an allowance to buy salt,which was a precious and essential commodity in the ancient world.So,your modemn salary is,in a sense,your "salt money."This one word contains within it a story about economics, warfare,and the daily life of an empire. Another fascinating example is the word"disaster."Its origin is literally"bad star"(dis-meaningbad"or "against,"and-aster meaning"star).In ancient times,people believed that the alignment of stars and planets could determine their fate.A"disaster"was seen as an event caused by an unfavorable star.While we no longer blame celestial bodies for our misfortunes,the word remains,a fossilized memory of a time when the heavens seemed to dictate our lives. These hidden histories are not just interesting trivia.They represent a deeper connection between past and present.When you leamn the root of a word,you unlock a tiny time capsule.The word "sincere,"for example,is often said to come from the Latin "sine cera,"meaning "without wax."The story goes that unscrupulous sculptors would hide flaws in their marble statues with wax.An honest sculptor would present his work "sine cera,"or"without wax."Therefore,to be"sincere"is to be without any hidden flaws or deceptions. This process of detection and discovery is what makes vocabulary building so engaging.Instead ofjust memorizing lists,you become a linguistic historian.You begin to see patterns.The prefix"sub-"meaning under,,”appears in‘submarine,”“subway,”andsubconscious.”Once you know this,,you can recognize that"submerge"means"to go under water,"even if you have never seen the word before.This strategy of leamning roots,prefixes,and suffixes is like learning the alphabet of words.It transforms the daunting task oflearning thousands of new words into a manageable and logical system. Questions: 1.According to the text,what is the literal meaning of the word"salary"and what does its origin tell us? 2.The text states that words like "disaster"are "a fossilized memory of a time."What does this phrase mean? 3.How does the story of the word "sincere"help explain its current meaning? 4.Why does the author describe leaming word roots as "learning the alphabet of words'? 5.What is the main argument the author makes about vocabulary learning in this passage? 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Learning a new language is like exploring a vast,unknown forest.You need a good map and the right tools to find your way.The secret to becoming a successful language leamer lies in the 1. (apply)ofa few key strategies. First,you must develop a 2. (master)of basic grammar.This is not just about memorizing rules; it is about understanding how words 3. (blend)together to form meaning.Without this foundation,your sentences will be like a puzzle with missing pieces. Furthermore,you must learn to use 4. (context)clues.When you encounter a new word,do not panic.Look at the words around it.They often 5. (contain)enough information for you to 6. (detect)its general meaning.This is a skill of a true 7. (expert). Another powerful 8. (strategy)is to understand word roots.Knowing that "bene"means "good"helps you 9. (represent)the meani山ng ofnew words like 'benefit'”and benevolent.” This is like finding a key that unlocks many doors. Finally,it is crucial to 10. (recognize)that language is alive.The meaning of a word can change depending on its 11. (onigin)and its use.Don't just memorize,analyze and question.If you 12. (approach)leamning with curiosity and a scientific mind,you will find that the forest of language is not a confusing place,but a beautiful and logical world waiting to be explored. 3 3. 4. 5. 6 7 8. 9 10. 11. 12. 五、写作 题目： 你的英国笔友To在邮件中提到，他觉得学习英语词汇很困难，总是记了又忘，觉得很沮丧。 请你给他回一封邮件，就他的问题提出一些具体建议。 写作要点： 1.对他表示理解并安慰。 2.结合本单元学到的词汇学习方法（如：学习词根词缀、在语境中理解、运用新词造句等）提 出至少两点具体建议。 3.鼓励他保持耐心和信心。 注意： )词数80-100左右。 )可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ,邮件的开头和结尾已为你写好。 Dear Tom.
