A 教材同步单元练习 一、阅读理解 Passage A The English language is filled with oddities that can trip up even the most proficient speakers.One fascinating area is the existence of"false fiiends"-words that look or sound similar in two languages but have different meanings.However,even within English itself,there are words that have changed meaning so drastically over time that they can cause confusion when reading older texts. Consider the word"nice."Today,it means pleasant or agreeable.But in the 13th century,"nice"meant "foolish"or "stupid,"derived from the Latin word"nescius,"meaning "ignorant."By the 14th century,it had evolved to mean "shy"or "reserved,"and then later"fussy"or"demanding"(as in"a nice distinction").It wasn't until the 18th century that it finally took on its current positive meaning.So,if you were reading a medieval romance and the author described a knight as "nice,"he was likely calling him foolish,not kind! Another example is the word "silly.Today,it means lacking in common sense or judgment.However,its original Old English form,"saelig,"meant"happy,""fortunate,"or "blessed."Over the centuries,its meaning shifted from "blessed"to "innocent,"then to "harmless,"then to "pitiable"(a "silly"person was one who deserved pity),and finally to its current meaning of"foolish."This shift is thought to reflect a cultural association between innocence and foolishness. The word"girl"has also undergone a remarkable transformation.In Middle English,"girle"or"gyrle" referred to a young person of either sex.It could mean a boy or a girl.It wasn't until the 15th century that it began to be used specifically for a female child,and the word"boy"was adopted to fill the gap for the male child. These semantic shifts are not just historical curiosities.They serve as a powerful reminder that language is a living,breathing entity.It changes with society,reflecting our evolving values,perceptions,and humor. For a student of English,understanding that words have histories can unlock a deeper appreciation for the richness and complexity of the language,and it helps explain some of the seemingly strange ways that words are used.The next time you come across a word that seems oddly placed,remember-it might just be a ghost from its past life ()1.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To list the most commonly misused English words. B.To explain how the meanings of some words have changed over time. C.To argue that modemn English is too confusing for learners. D.To compare English'false firiends'with those in other languages. ()2.According to the passage,what was the original meaning of the word "nice"? A.Pleasant. B.Fussy. C.Foolish. D.Shy. ()3.The word "silly"shifted in meaning from meaning "blessed"to meaning "foolish."This change is believed to be connected to a cultural link between: A.innocence and happiness. B.foolishness and pity C.innocence and foolishness. D.happiness and pity. ()4.Which of the following statements about the word "girl"is TRUE? A.It has always meant a female child B.It originally meant a boy. C.It was once used for both boys and girls. D.It replaced the word "boy"in the 15th century. ()5.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Historical word meanings are irelevant to modem learners B.Language evolution can help explain current usage C.Most English words have changed their meanings. D.Students should only focus on modemn definitions. Passage B When we think oflearning a new language,we often focus on grammar rules and vocabulary lists.We might spend hours memorizing verb conjugations or trying to leamn the gender of nouns in French or German.However,a significant,and often overlooked,component of language learning is the ability to understand and use idioms.These are phrases where the meaning cannot be deduced from the individual words themselves. Take the English idiom "to kick the bucket."Even if you know the meaning of"kick,""the,"and "bucket,"you would never be able to guess that the phrase means "to die."The same is true for idioms like "to spill the beans"(to reveal a secret),"to be under the weather"(to feel ill),or"to hit the books"(to study hard).For a non-native speaker,these phrases are not just confusing,they represent a major barrier to achieving fluency. Research suggests that mastering idioms is essential for sounding like a native speaker and for understanding informal conversation,movies,TV shows,and literature.A person who speaks perfect grammatical English but uses no idioms can sound mechanical and unnatural.Furthermore,idioms are culturally loaded.They often come from specific historical events,sports,or cultural practices.For example,the idiom"to throw in the towel"comes from boxing,and "to steal someone's thunder"comes from the world of theater.Understanding these origins can give a learner deep insights into the culture itself. So,how can a learner master this challenging aspect of English?The first and most important step is to shift from translating to seeing the meaning as a whole.Instead oftrying to analyze the literal meaning of "it's raining cats and dogs,"a leamner should memorize the entire phrase and associate it directly with the concept of"heavy rain.Secondly,input is key.Reading extensively-from novels to news articles to comics-and watching English-language media are excellent ways to encounter idioms in their natural context.Finally,practice using them is crucial.Leamners should try to use new idioms in their own speaking and writing,and not be afraid to make mistakes.With consistent effort,the strange world of idioms can become a familiar and powerful part of a learner's linguistic toolbox,opening the door to a more authentic and fluent use of the English language. ()6.What is the main challenge of leamning English idioms,according to the passage? A.They are too long and difficult to pronounce. B.Their overall meaning is not related to the words in the phrase. C.They are only used in very formal writing. D.They require a perfect understanding of grammar rules. ()7.The phrase"to be under the weather"is given as an example of an idiom that means: A.To be caught in a storm B.To feel happy. C.To feel ill. D.To predict the weather. ()8.The author suggests that idioms are "culturally loaded."What does this mean? A.Idioms often come from specific cultural references like sports or history B.Leamning idioms is not important for understanding modern culture. C.All cultures have exactly the same idioms. D.Idioms are only used by a specific social class ()9.According to the article,which is the most effective approach for a learner to master idioms? A.Analyzing the literal meaning of each word. B.Focusing primarily on grammar and vocabulary lists. C.Memorizing the idiom as a single unit and using it in context. D.Avoiding idioms in order to speak more clearly. ()10.The tone of the passage can best be described as: A.Critical and doubtful B.Informative and encouraging. C.Humorous and light-hearted. D.Strict and demanding. 二、完形填空 Learning English can be a joumney full of surprises and (1) funny stories.I remember my first attempt to use the word "homely"in an American conversation.Back in my home country,it has a positive meaning,(2) to "cozy"or"pleasant."I decided to compliment my host family,telling them how "homely"their beautiful house was.(3) seeing the confused and slightly offended looks on their faces,I quickly realized I had made a terrible mistake. What I didn't know was that in American English,"homely"is a synonym for"unattractive"or "ugly."I had just told my kind hosts that I (4) their home was ugly！It was a(⑤) embarrassing moment,but we all ended up laughing about it.This experience taught me a valuable (6) :you can't just translate the words,you have to leamn the (7) behind them. Another time,a British fiiend told me she was feeling "peckish."The word was completely (8) to me.I thought she might be feeling ill or upset.When I asked what was wrong,she laughed and said she was just a bit(9)!I leamed that"peckish"is a British informal word for"hungry.It's(10) to find such variations in vocabulary even between countries that share the same language. These misadventures,while awkward at the moment,have been(11) for my progress.They serve as constant(12) that language learning isn't just about memorizing rules.In(13) to studying textbooks,we need to expose ourselves to real-life usage,to ask questions,and to laugh at our own mistakes.Each blunder(14) me of the richness and complexity of English. (15) than getting discouraged,I now see these experiences as stepping stones on the path to fluency. 1.A.hardly B.scarcely C.occasionally D.often 2.A.relating B.similar C.referring D.linked 3.A.Therefore B.However C.Meanwhile D.Moreover 4.A.thought B.imagined C.believed D.wondered 5.A.roughly B.fiercely C.highly D.perfectly 6.A.lesson B.course C.subject D.class 7.A.translation B.definition C.context D.grammar 8.A.familiar B.similar C.strange D.unfamiliar 9.A.sad B.hungry C.tired D.angry 10.A.fascinating B.discouraging C.disappointing D.fiightening 11.A.useless B.harmful C.invaluable D.optional 12.A.comments B.reminders C.opinions D.decisions 13.A.addition B.contrast C.relation D.order 14.A.asks B.tells C.reminds D.wains 15.A.More B.Less C.Rather D.Other 三、阅读短文回答问题 Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences. American English and British English,while mutually intelligible,are characterized by a fascinating array of differences that go beyond mere accents.These distinctions can be found in spelling,vocabulary,and even grammar.For a student of English,understanding these variations is essential to avoid confusion and to communicate effectively in different contexts. One of the most noticeable areas of divergence is spelling.The British favor spellings like "colour," "centre,"and "theatre,"which retain a French influence.Americans,largely influenced by Noah Webster's dictionary reforms in the early 19th century,simplified these to "color,""center,"and "theater." Another common difference is the use of"-ise"and "-ize"endings.While both forms can be used in British English,"-ize"is more common in American English (e.g.,"realize"vs."realise"). Vocabulary provides perhaps the most fertile ground for humorous misunderstandings.A"boot"in Britain is the trunk of a car,while a "bonnet"is the hood.What an American calls an "apartment"is a "flat"in the UK.A "subway"in America is an underground train system,but in Britain,it refers to a pedestrian underpass.One of the classic examples is the word for a potato-based snack:British "crisps"are American"chips,"while British"chips"are thicker and whatAmericans would call "fries."Imagine the confusion of an American tourist ordering "chips"in a London pub and receiving French fiies! Grammar,too,has its subtle variations.In British English,it is common to use the present perfect tense for a recent action that has an effect on the present,such as "I've just eaten."Americans might be more likely to use the simple past in this context:"I just ate."Furthermore,collective nouns (like team,government, or family)are often treated as plural in British English("The team are playing well")but are almost always singular in American English ("The team is playing well").These grammatical nuances,though small,contribute to the distinct flavor of each dialect. Ultimately,neither version is"correct"or "better"than the other.They are simply different branches of the same rich language tree.For a language leamner,the key is to be aware of these differences,to choose a version of English to master(often based on personal preference or professional need),and to be flexible enough to adapt when communicating with speakers of the other dialect.This awareness is not just a matter of linguistic skill;it is a form of cultural intelligence that enables more effective and respectful global communication. 1.According to the passage,what is the primary reason for the spelling differences between American and British English? 2.If an American person in London asks for a"subway,"where are they most likely to be directed,and why? 3.Give one example of a grammatical difference between American and British English mentioned in the passage. 4.What does the author suggest is the best strategy for a language learner dealing with the differences between American and British English? 5.In your own words,explain why the author says that being aware of dialect differences is a form of "cultural intelligence." 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。 For a long time,I found learning English quite a challenge,especially when I (1) words whose meanings I couldn't guess from the(2) My teacher advised me to be more (3) with my learning methods.For example,she suggested I start using different(4) like online dictionaries and English blogs.It turned out to be excellent advice.

However,I(9) myself that it was(10) to take time to master a new language.I would (11) spend an hour studying than give up.Now,I feel more confident.A good (12) of my time has been key.I focus on learning how to express ideas in different(13) and I am always ready for a new (14) to my vocabulary.Leamning English is a creative process,and you have to build your own (15) to succeed 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 五、写作 假设你是李华，你的英国笔友Tom在学习中文时遇到了困难，特别是觉得成语(idioms)和俗语 很难理解。他在邮件中向你求助，希望你能给出一些学习建议。请你给他回一封邮件，内容包 括： 1.表示理解并给予鼓励。 2.提出至少两条学习中文成语或俗语的具体建议。 3.建议他多接触中文电影、书籍或与中国人交流。 注意： 1.词数100词左右。 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 3.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Tom. I'm glad to hear from you,though I understand the difficulty you're facing with Chinese idioms and sayings.It's a common challenge for leamers,but don't be discouraged. Yours, Li Hua 范文： Dear Tom, I'm glad to hear from you,though I understand the difficulty you're facing with Chinese idioms and sayings.It's a common challenge for leamers,but don't be discouraged.Remember,our experience with English idioms was similar! Here are some suggestions.First,don't try to translate them word for word.Instead,try to understand the story or image behind the idiom.For example,“爱屋及乌”(Love me,love my dog)means if you like the house,you also like the crows on its roof.This image helps you remember its meaning.Second,keep a notebook for new idioms and their contexts. I strongly recommend you watch Chinese movies or talk with native speakers.This will help you see how these sayings are used in real-life situations.With time and practice,you'll find them less confusing!
