A 教材同步单元练习 一、 阅读理解 Passage A English is a language full of surprises.Just when you think you"ve mastered the basic rules,you encounter something that seems to break them entirely.Consider,for example,the word "literally."For centuries,it meant "in a literal sense"or "exactly."But in modem usage,it has taken on an opposite meaning in informal contexts,used as an intensifier for figurative statements.When someone says "I literally died laughing,"they don"t mean they actually stopped breathing.This shift has caused considerable debate among language purists. The phenomenon is not limited to English,but English seems particularly prone to such contradictions due to its unique history.As a Germanic language with heavy French and Latin influences,English developed a dual-layered vocabulary.Words of Germanic origin tend to be shorter and more informal (like "begin,""help,""buy"),while their French or Latin equivalents are longer and more formal (like "commence,""assist,""purchase").This gives English speakers a remarkable range of expression,but it also creates confusion for leamners who must navigate when to use which word. Take the synonyms "ask,""question,"and"interrogate."While they share a similar core meaning,their usage contexts differ greatly."Ask"is neutral and casual;"question"can suggest doubt or formal inquiry;"interrogate"implies authority and often hostility.A learner who memorizes only dictionary definitions might use "interrogate"when they merely want to"ask,"leading to awkward or even offensive situations. Consider another example:the word "sanction."This single term can mean both "to approve"and "to punish."The meaning depends entirely on context."The government sanctioned the trade agreement" means they approved it."The government imposed sanctions on the county"means they punished it. Such words are known as "contranyms"or "auto-antonyms"-words that have two opposite meanings. The existence of contranyms challenges the assumption that language is logical.English,in particular, seems to embrace inconsistency."Cleave"can mean "to split apart"or "to cling together.""Oversight" can mean "supervision"or "an accidental mistake.""Weather"as a verb can mean "to withstand difficulties"or "to wear away due to exposure."How did such contradictions come to exist?Linguists suggest several reasons:historical shifts in usage,different original meanings that evolved in opposite directions,and simple human error that became accepted over time. For English learners,these oddities can be frustrating,but they also make the language more interesting.Understanding contranyms requires paying close attention to context-a skill essential for language mastery.Moreover,these contradictions reflect English"s living nature.Languages are not fixed systems;they grow,change,and sometimes develop features that seem illogical.The ability to handle such complexity is what separates basic communication from true fluency. ()1.What does the author say about the word "literally"? A.It has always meant "exactly"throughout history. B.Its modern informal meaning is opposite to its original meaning. C.Language purists have accepted its new usage. D.It is only used in formal writing now. ()2.Why does English have a "dual-layered vocabulary"according to the passage? A.Because it borrowed words from different language families. B.Because English speakers prefer longer words. C.Because Germanic languages are more formal than French. D.Because learners find it easier to remember both types. ()3.What problem might learners face with synonyms like "ask,""question,"and "interogate"? A.They all mean exactly the same thing. B.Their usage contexts and connotations differ greatly. C.They cannot be used in formal situations. D.They are all considered offensive. ()4.Which statement about "contranyms"is TRUE? A.They do not exist in English B.They are words with opposite meanings. C.They only appear in informal language. D.They were created by language purists. ()5.What is the author"s attitude toward these language oddities? A.Critical-they should be eliminated. B.Neutral-they are simply facts of language. C.Positive-they make language more interesting and challenging. D.Confused-the author cannot explain why they exist. Passage B The English language has experienced remarkable growth over the past centuries.From a regional Germanic dialect spoken by fewer than two million people in the 11th century,English has transformed into a global language used by approximately 1.5 billion speakers worldwide.This expansion has not been without consequences for the language itself. One significant development is the emergence of "World Englishes"-distinct varieties of English that have evolved in different regions.Indian English,Singaporean English,Nigerian English,and many others have developed their own grammatical patterns,vocabulary,and pronunciation features.For instance,in Indian English,the phrase "I am having a doubt"is standard usage,whereas British or American speakers would say "I have a doubt"or "I have a question."Similarly,Singaporean English often uses "lah"as a discourse particle to indicate emphasis or friendliness,a feature completely absent from standard Westemn varieties. These variations challenge the traditional notion of a single "correct"English.Should we consider these forms as errors or as legitimate developments?Most linguists today argue for the latter view.Language naturally adapts to the needs of its speakers,and the spread of English to new communities has inevitably resulted in localized versions.The key criterion for correctness,many argue,should be effective communication rather than adherence to a particular standard. However,this raises practical questions for English education.Which variety should be taught in schools?The answer often depends on local context.In countries where English serves primarily as an international language,such as China or Japan,the focus tends to be on widely understood standard forms-typically British or American English.But in countries where English has an official or historical role,such as India or Nigeria,local varieties may be more appropriate. The digital age has further accelerated these changes.Social media,texting,and online communication have created new written forms that blend speech and writing.Acronyms like "lol"(laughing out loud) and "brb"(be right back)have entered common usage.Grammar rules are often relaxed in these contexts.The word "because"is now frequently used as a preposition in informal writing,as in "I"m late because traffic."This usage,while nonstandard,has become widely accepted in certain contexts. Another notable trend is the influence of non-native speakers on English.With more non-native speakers than native speakers now using English globally,non-native innovations can spread rapidly For example,the phrase "long time no see"is believed to have originated from Chinese English but has now become an accepted idiom in standard English.Similarly,"no problem"as a response to "thank you"-once considered incorrect-is now common worldwide. The future of English will likely involve continued diversification.Some linguists predict that English may eventually split into multiple mutually unintelligible languages,much like Latin split into the Romance languages.Others argue that global communication will maintain a common core that keeps varieties mutually understandable.What seems certain is that English will continue to evolve,shaped by the millions of people who use it every day in countless contexts. ()1.What does "World Englishes"refer to in the passage? A.A standard form of English taught worldwide. B.Different regional varieties of English. C.Grammatical errors made by non-native speakers. D.Online abbreviations like "lol"and "brb." ()2.What is the current linguistic view on localized forms of English? A.They should be corrected to match standard English. B.They are legitimate developments of the language. C.They are only acceptable in informal contexts. D.They will eventually disappear. ()3.How do educational approaches differ regarding varieties of English? A.All countries teach British English exclusively. B.Most countries now teach Singaporean English. C.The choice often depends on whether English is used locally or internationally D.Digital communication has made varieties irrelevant in education. ()4.What is the significance of the phrase "long time no see"? A.It is considered grammatically incorrect. B.It originated from non-native speakers and became accepted. C.It is only used in Chinese English. D.It proves that English grammar is unchangeable. ()5.What does the passage suggest about the future of English? A.It will stop changing and become fixed. B.It will likely continue to diversify. C.It will split into separate languages very soon. D.It will be replaced by other languages. 二、完形填空 People often assume that learning English is simply a matter of memorizing vocabulary and grammar rules.However,the (1)of the language extends far beyond these basic elements.Idioms,for example,present a particular challenge because their meanings cannot be(2) f om the individual words that compose them. Consider the expression "to have a frog in one"s throat."(3) someone tells you they have a frog in their throat,they are not indicating a medical emergency involving an amphibian.(4) they mean their voice is hoarse or they are having difficulty speaking.For learners who take the phrase (5) the confusion can be significant. The (6) of idioms in English is remarkable.Studies suggest that native speakers use approximately 20 million idioms per year in conversation.This(7)that idioms are not peripheral to English communication-they are central to it.Leamers who ignore idioms risk misunderstanding or (8) awkward. Another difficulty for learners is the phenomenon of words that look and sound similar but have different meanings-false fiiends.A Spanish speaker might(9) that "embarrassed"in English means "embarazada,"which actually means "pregnant"in Spanish.Such errors can lead to (10) situations. Context plays a(11)role in determining meaning.The word "wicked"can mean "evil"or "excellent"depending on usage.In fairy tales,"wicked stepmother"canies a negative (12) But in informal conversation,"That was a wicked performance!"is high praise.A leamer who only knows one meaning will (13) important nuances. Despite these challenges,English remains a highly (14) language.Its flexibility allows speakers to express ideas with remarkable precision.The key for learners is to remain curious and open-minded.Every idiom,every contradictory word,and every false fiiend is an opportunity to(15) the language at a deeper level. 1.A.complexity B.simplicity C.popularity D.history 2.A.learned B.predicted C.removed D.changed 3.A.f B.Unless C.Although D.Because 4.A.Besides B.However C.Instead D.Therefore 5.A.seriously B.literally C.carefully D.easily 6.A.frequency B.quality C.value D.importance 7.A.suggests B.means C.proves D.doubts 8.A.sounding B.feeling C.looking D.acting 9.A.assume B.deny C.forget D.realize 10.A.humorous B.embarrassing C.dangerous D.boring 11.A.minor B.limited C.crucial D.similar 12.A.meaning B.effect C.word D.connotation 13.A.gain B.miss C.understand D.remember 14.A.simple B.expressive C.difficult D.formal 15.A.forget B.ignore C.explore D.criticize 三、阅读短文回答问题 English spelling is notoriously irregular.While many languages have relatively consistent letter-sound correspondences,English often seems to defy logic.Why is "though"pronounced differently from "through"?Why does "enough"have a silent "gh"while "cough"uses the same letters differently? These inconsistencies are not random;they reflect the complex history of English The Great Vowel Shift,which occurred between 1350 and 1700,dramatically changed how vowels were pronounced in English.During this period,all long vowels shifted upward in the mouth.The word "bite,"for example,was once pronounced more like "beet."However,spelling largely remained unchanged,creating a permanent gap between spelling and pronunciation. Additionally,the invention of the printing press in the 15th century helped standardize spelling,but at a time when pronunciation was still changing.William Caxton,who introduced printing to England,had to make choices about spelling that reflected the pronunciation of his time.Later sound changes, however,did not lead to corresponding spelling reforms. The result is a system where identical letter combinations can have multiple pronunciations.Consider the combination "ough."It can be pronounced at least seven different ways:as in "though"(long o), "through"(oo),"cough"(off),"enough"(uff),"thought"(aw),"plough"(ow),and "borough"(uh). Each pronunciation has historical reasons,but for leamers,the situation appears chaotic. English also has silent letters-letters that are written but not pronounced.The "k"in "knife,"the "b" in "doubt,"and the "1"in "half"are remnants of earlier pronunciations.These silent letters preserve historical information but add to learning difficulty. Spelling reformers have attempted to simplify English spelling for centuries.Benjamin Franklin proposed a new phonetic alphabet.George Bernard Shaw left money in his will for the development of a phonetic English script.Despite these efforts,English spelling has remained largely unchanged.The rise of digital communication and spellcheckers has,if anything,reinforced traditional spelling. For leamners,the best approach is to accept that English spelling is historical rather than phonetic. Instead of trying to find logical rules for every word,learners should focus on patterns,exceptions,and practice.Technology can help,but there is no substitute for exposure to the language. 1.What was the Great Vowel Shift and how did it affect English spelling? 2.Why did the printing press contibute to the inregularity of English spelling? 3.How many different pronunciations of "ough"are mentioned in the passage?Give one example. 4.Why do some words in English have silent letters? 5.According to the passage,what is the best approach for learners dealing with English spelling? 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。 English is a language full of(1) .From its(2） complex spelling to its confusing idioms,it often leaves leamers feeling (3) However,understanding the reasons behind these features can make learning more interesting. One common area of difficulty is (4) the difference between formal and(5) language.Many learners use (6)expressions in casual situations,which can sound strange. For example,saying "I(7) to obtain a beverage"instead of "I want a drink"would be (8) in everyday conversation. The (9) issue is that leamers often translate directly from their first language without considering context.This (10) of cultural differences can lead to (11) communication.A (12) attitude toward making mistakes is essential for progress. Some words have (13) meanings in one context but(14) ones in another.The word "wicked,"for instance,can describe a(15) witch or a really good party.Learning to judge from context is a key skill. 2. 3. 4 5. 6. 7 8. 9. 10. 父 12. 13. 14. 15. 五、写作 假设你是李华，你的英国朋友To在邮件中提到他在学习汉语时遇到了一些困难，特别是成语 (idioms)的使用让他感到困惑。请你给他回一封邮件，内容包括： 1.表示理解他的困难 2.分享你学习英语习语的经验和方法 3.鼓励他继续学习 要求： 1.词数100-120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 sony to hear that you're having trouble with Chinese idioms.
