一、阅读理解
Passage A
The English language is a vast and ever-evolving entity,a linguistic tapestry woven from threads of
countless other tongues.Its remarkable flexibility and capacity for absorbing foreign words-known as
loanwords-is a key reason for its global dominance.This process is not merely a historical curiosity
but a vibrant,ongoing phenomenon that reflects cultural exchange and technological progress.
The most significant historical influx of loanwords occurred after the Norman Conquest of England in
1066.For centuries,French was the language of the English court,law,and high society.This period
inundated English with thousands of words related to governance (govemment,authority,parliament),
law (justice,crime,judge),cuisine (beef,pork,dinner),and fashion (dress,robe,gown).The result was
a linguistic dualism where Germanic words (like cow and sheep)referred to the animals,and their
French-derived counterparts (like beefand mutton)referred to the meat served at the table.This
stratification is a perfect illustration of how power dynamics can shape language.
Beyond European influences,English has gleefully adopted words from almost every continent.From
Arabic,we have algebra,alcohol,and guitar,from Hindi,shampoo,bungalow,and jungle;from
Japanese,tsunami,karaoke,and emoji,and from Chinese,ketchup,dim sum,and kung fu.These
words anived via trade routes,colonial expansion,artistic exchange,and now,through the
instantaneous global village of the internet.
The digital age has accelerated this process to an unprecedented degree.Terms like hashtag and meme
have become universal,while"feng shur"and "guanxi"are finding their place in business English.
The rapid adoption of these words shows the language's dynamic nature.However,this openness is
not without its critics.Some purists argue that the constant borrowing dilutes the language's identity
and creates confusion.They advocate for the use of native compounds (like "foreword"instead of
"preface")to maintain linguistic purity.Yet,most linguists view borrowing as a sign of health,not
decline.A language that refuses to change,they argue,is a dead one.The continuous incorporation of
loanwords is evidence that English is very much alive,growing,and adapting to the needs of its
billion-plus speakers worldwide.The story of English is,in many ways,the story of the world,told
through its words.
()1.What is the primary reason for the English language's global dominance,according to the
passage?
A.Its complex grammatical structures.
B.Its ability to absorb words from other languages.
C.The influence of the Norman Conquest.
D.The spread of the British Empire.
()2.The example of "cow"and "beef"in the passage is used to illustrate how loanwords can
reflect
A.the evolution of farming techniques
B.cultural and power relations between social classes
C.the superior culinary vocabulary of French
D.the difficulty of translating animal names
()3.What is the main argument of the "purists"mentioned in the passage?
A.English should adopt more scientific terms.
B.Borrowing from non-European languages is harmful.
C.The constant influx of new words enriches the language.
D.Over-reliance on loanwords weakens the language's unique character.
()4.The author's attitude towards the introduction of loanwords into English can best be described
as
A.highly critical
B.enthusiastically supportive
C.neutral but informative
D.cautiously optimistic
Passage B
The concept of "linguistic purism"is a recurring theme in the history of many languages,
representing a desire to shield a mother tongue from extemal influence.Its advocates often view
language not merely as a tool for communication,but as the very soul of a nation,a sacred vessel of
cultural identity that must be kept pure.This sentiment is particularly strong in nations that have
experienced a history of foreign domination or cultural marginalization.For example,following the
Norman Conquest,English itself was for a time considered a lesser language of the common people,
while French and Latin held prestige.This historical relegation has left a lasting scar on the English
psyche,perhaps explaining why debates about "proper English"can still be so emotionally charged.
A more contemporary and vigorous example of linguistic purism is the refusal in France to use the
English-derived term email.Instead,the state-mandated alternative is courriel,a shortened form of the
French phrase courrier electronique.The Academie Francaise,the official authority on the French
language,has been both praised and ridiculed for its efforts to invent French altematives to English
ters like hashtag (mot-diese)and selfie (egoportrait).This is more than just a matter of vocabulary;it
is a fight against what is perceived as cultural and linguistic imperialism.The French govemment has
even passed laws requiring that couriel be used in all official government communications,
demonstrating that this is a battle fought at the highest levels.
However,the effectiveness of such top-down language planning is a subject of great debate.Critics
argue that language is a living,democratic organism that evolves organically from its speakers,not
from decrees issued by academies.They point out that while the French government can mandate
cowriel for its civil servants,the vast majority of the French public continues to use email in their
everyday lives and even in business correspondence.Language,in this view,is a market:speakers will
naturally gravitate toward the most functional,convenient,and widely-understood term,regardless of
its origin.The state's attempts to police vocabulary can feel out of touch and ultimately ineffective.
Despite the challenges,the drive for linguistic purity persists in various forms.In Germany,for
instance,the Verein Deutsche Sprache (German Language Association)campaigns against the rampant
use of "Denglisch",a mix of German and English.In Iceland,with its small population,the
govemment creates entirely new words for modern inventions-like tolva for "computer"(a
compound of tala,number,and volva,prophetess)-rather than borrowing.These efforts highlight a
fundamental tension:the desire for cultural preservation against the overwhelming pressure of
globalization and the sheer convenience of a globalized lexicon.The battle for linguistic purity may be
a losing one,but the passion behind it reveals much about how deeply language and identity are
intertwined.
()1.Why is the idea of linguistic purism particularly strong in some nations,according to the passage?
A.They have a long history of political neutrality.
B.Their languages are naturally resistant to change
C.They have a history of cultural domination or marginalization.
D.Their populations are monolingual and isolated.
()2.The French govemment's promotion of "couniel"instead of "email"is an example of
A.organic linguistic evolution
B.successful language planning by an academy
C.top-down efforts to resist linguistic influence
D.a market-driven change in vocabulary
()3.Critics of state-led linguistic purism believe that language is
A.a sacred vessel of national identity
B.best regulated by official academies
C.a living entity that changes from mere usage
D.a weapon against cultural imperialism
()4.What can be inferred from the final paragraph about the future of linguistic purism?
A.It will likely succeed in countries with small populations like Iceland.
B.It is a powerful movement that is gaining momentum globally.
C.It faces an uphill battle against practical communication needs.
D.It is a phenomenon that is unique to European nations.
()5.What is the main purpose of this passage?
A.To endorse the efforts of the Academie Frangaise.
B.To provide an objective overview of the concept and challenges of linguistic purism.
C.To argue that English is a superior language due to its flexibility.
D.To explain the historical causes of the English lexicon.
二、完形填空
I still remember the day I decided to learn Spanish.It wasn't for a grade or a job;it was for a girl
named Sofia.She was an exchange student from Argentina,and I was
to her effortless charm.
I wanted to talk to her,to understand her jokes,and to know the world she came from.So,armed with
a dictionary and a textbook,I began my
The first few weeks were a disaster.I could barely say "Hola"without feeling my face turn red.The
grammatical rules of Spanish seemed to be on a different planet.I would mix up "ser"and
"estar,"both meaning "to be,"and my pronunciation was so bad that when I tied to order a
fortilla,the waiter brought me a small cake instead of a pancake.I felt defeated,ready to
One aftemnoon,I was practicing verbs in the campus library when I heard a familiar laugh.It was
Sofia.She was with a group of friends,speaking Spanish fluently and rapidly.I wanted to hide,but
she saw me and smiled.She came over and asked what I was doing.,I showed her my
textbook filled with my messy notes.She laughed,but not in a mean way."This is too formal,"she
said,pointing at a sentence."In Buenos Aires,we would say it differently."
Instead of mocking me,she became my teacher.She taught me the_
of everyday speech:the
slang,the hand gestures,and the cultural references that no textbook could capture.We would spend
hours in the cafeteria,her talking about her family's asados (barbecues)and me struggling to ask
basic questions.The progress was slow,but it was_
Then came the moment of truth.Sofia invited me to a party with the other Spanish-speaking students.I
was terified.For the first hour,I stayed in a comer,silent,my mind drawing a blank.I was about to
leave when a song I recognized came on.It was a popular Latin pop song.Somehow,the music
my confidence.I knew the words!I started singing along,and others joined in.It wasn't a
conversation,but it was a connection.
That night,I didn't become a fluent speaker,but I crossed a threshold.I realized that language is not
just about vocabulary and grammar,it is a bridge built with patience,
and a lot of mistakes.
My joumey with Sofia taught me that "Dancing with Words"is not a solo performance.It's a
partnership.You have to be willing to misstep,laugh at yourself,and keep
to the rhythm of
another culture.

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.
The phenomenon of "Globish",a simplified version of English used as a global lingua franca,is a
subject of intense scrutiny among linguists.Unlike a creole or a pidgin,which are often bom out of
necessity in specific,limited contact situations,Globish is a voluntary,pragmatic adaptation.Speakers
of diverse native languages,from Mandarin to Portuguese,consciously stip down their English to
improve mutual intelligibility.They avoid idioms "it's raining cats and dogs"becomes "it's
raining very hard"),complex grammatical stuctures(like the third conditional),and culturally specific
references.The vocabulary is often limited to the most common 1,500 words.
This form of "English lite"is incredibly efficient for international business and travel.A business
deal can be concluded,a flight safely navigated,and a scientific paper abstract understood without any
of the nuance,humor,or cultural baggage that comes with native-level English.Proponents argue that
Globish is a tool for global democracy,allowing non-native speakers to communicate on a more level
playing field,free from the inherent advantage a native speaker has.The native speaker is forced to
adapt too,which some see as a positive step towards linguistic equality.
However,cnitics wam against the implications of this linguistic simplification.They argue that language
is not just a system of signs;it is the vehicle for thought,art,and identity.Reducing English to a purely
functional tool strips it of its soul.Major literary works that rely on wordplay,metaphor,and cultural
allusion are effectively untranslatable into Globish.The poetry of Shakespeare,the wit of Oscar Wilde,
the speeches of Martin Luther King Jr.-these are not just words;they are performances of a culture,
deeply rooted in the full expressive power of a language.In this view,Globish is not a neutral tool but
a threat to linguistic diversity and the richness of human expression.It creates a flattened world where
deep understanding can be sacrificed for the sake of basic comprehension.
1.What is the main motivation for non-native speakers to use "Globish"according to the passage?
(No more than 10 words)
2.How does Globish differ from a "pidgin"language?(No more than 15 words)
3.Why does the speaker refer to Globish as "English lite"?(No more than 15 words)
4.What is ONE "positive"aspect of Globish mentioned by its proponents?(No more than 12 words)
5.What is the core argument of critics who are against Globish?(No more than 20 words)
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。
The English language,with its vast vocabulary,is a treasure trove of words borrowed from almost
every culture on Earth.Among its most colorful and 1.
contributions are the
"untranslatable"words that capture a specific cultural feeling or concept.For example,the German
word Schadenfieude,which describes the joy felt at another's misfortune,has found a 2.
home in English.Similarly,the Japanese term Tsundoku,the act of buying books and letting them pile
up unread,perfectly describes a modemn habit many can 3.with.
These borrowed words not only enrich our communication but also offer a window into the values and
x
of other societies.The Danish word Hygge,which conjures up a feeling of cozy
contentment,has become a global lifestyle trend.Its 5.reflects a universal desire for comfort
and connection.The adoption of such words is more than a linguistic 6.;it is a form of
cultural exchange.
This process of borrowing is a two-way street.While English sucks in words from around the globe,it
also "exports"its own.The global 7.of English in the digital age means that words like
"software","internet",and "selfie"have become 8.This constant flow of words
highlights a fundamental truth about language:it is not a static system but a living,9.
entity
that evolves with the needs of its speakers.To truly master a language is to understand not just its
grammar but the cultural 10.
that fuels its growth.

Dear Tom,

I completely agree with you.English is full of such dynamic slang!For example,when someone says
they were "ghosted,"it doesn't mean they saw a ghost;it means someone they were dating
suddenly stopped all communication,as if they'd vanished into thin air.It's a dramatic and very
modemn way to describe being ignored.
Another good one is "salty."If I said my fiiend was acting "salty,"it doesn't mean he tasted like
salt;it means he's bitter,initable,or annoyed,often because he lost a game.These words are so
creative and show how flexible English is-it's constantly inventing new ways to express complex
emotions quickly.I think this playful ability to create new words is what makes language so alive and
fun.
I'm glad you're enjoying this journey into the heart of another language.Keep exploring,and feel
free to share any other cool Chinese words you find!The "untranslatable"ones are often the most
fascinating.
Yours,
Li Hua
