Even when you know lots of words, misunderstandings can still happen. Some words look similar in two languages but carry completely different meanings. Language experts call these “false friends”. These confusing words often create funny or embarrassing situations for language learners. A speaker of one language may use a word confidently, only to find listeners understand something totally different. These mistakes are not caused by poor grammar. They come from the shared history of languages. Many European languages share Latin roots, so some words look almost identical, yet their meanings have changed over centuries. Textbooks cannot teach every tricky word. Real‑life communication often brings unexpected surprises. Good language learners do not fear these moments. Instead, they treat misunderstandings as part of exploring a new language. Every mistake teaches them something new about culture and history behind the words they use. 【全文翻译】 学习一门外语，并不仅仅是记忆词汇和语法规则。即便你掌握大量单词，误解依旧可能发生。有些词在两种语言中外形相似，但含义截然不同。语言专家把它们叫作 “假朋友”。这些令人困惑的词汇，常常给语言学习者带来好笑或是尴尬的处境。一个外语使用者很有把握地说出一个词，结果却发现听者理解的意思完全不一样。这类错误并非语法不好造成，而是源于语言共同的历史。许多欧洲语言拥有拉丁语渊源，因此部分单词看上去几乎一模一样，但数个世纪以来词义已经发生了变化。课本无法教给大家所有这类棘手词汇。现实交际常常出现意料之外的状况。优秀的语言学习者不会惧怕这些时刻，反而把误解当作探索一门新语言的一部分。每一次错误，都会教会他们更多词汇背后的文化与历史。 【核心词汇】 1 / 13 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 ① memorise v. 记忆；记住 ② vocabulary n. 词汇；词汇量 ③ grammar n. 语法 ④ misunderstanding n. 误解；误会 ⑤ false adj. 错误的；虚假的 ⑥ expert n. 专家 ⑦ confusing adj. 令人困惑的 ⑧ embarrassing adj. 令人尴尬的 ⑨ situation n. 情况；处境 ⑩ confidently adv. 自信地 ⑪ listener n. 听者；听众 ⑫ identical adj. 完全相同的 ⑬ root n. 根源；词根 ⑭ century n. 世纪；百年 ⑮ tricky adj. 难对付的；棘手的 ⑯ textbook n. 课本；教科书 ⑰ communication n. 交流；交际 ⑱ unexpected adj. 出乎意料的 ⑲ treat v. 看待；对待 ⑳ explore v. 探索；探究 【长难句分析】 1.What surprised us most was that many learners still met with misunderstandings though they had mastered plenty of English words. 句意：让我们最惊讶的是，许多学习者尽管已经掌握大量英语单词，依旧会遇到误解。 分析：本句中 What surprised us most 是主语从句；was 为系动词；that 引导表语从句；从句内部包含 though 引导的让步状语从句。 2.

But when Lenovo bought IBM’s personal-computer division in 2005, he decided to engage himself in English; he moved his family to North Carolina, hired a language tutor and spent hours watching cable-TV news. He conducted all his business in English except for briefing for the Chinese press. Lenovo is one of a growing number of multinationals from the non-English world that have made English their official language. The fashion began in places with small populations but global ambitions such as Singapore, which kept English as its lingua franca (通用语) when it left the British empire in 1963, and Switzerland. Goran Lindahl, a former boss of ABB, a Swiss-Swedish engineering giant, once described its official language as “poor English”. The practice spread to the big European countries: numerous German and French multinationals now use English in board meetings and official documents. Audi may use a German phrase — Vorsprung durch Technik, or progress through engineering — in its advertisements, but it is impossible to progress through its management ranks without good English. When Christoph Franz became boss of Lufthansa in 2011, he made English its official language even though all but a handful of the airline’s 50 most senior managers were German. There are some obvious reasons why multinational companies want a lingua franca. Adopting English makes it easier to recruit global stars (including board members), reach global markets, assemble global production teams and integrate foreign acquisitions. Such steps are especially important to companies in Japan, where the population is shrinking. There are less obvious reasons too. Rakuten’s boss, Hiroshi Mikitani, argues that English promotes free thinking because it is free from the status distinctions which characterize Japanese and other Asian languages. Antonella Mei-Pochtler of the Boston Consulting Group notes that German firms get through their business much faster in English than in German. English can provide a neutral language in a merger (合并而成的公司): when Germany’s Hoechst and France’s Rhone-Poulenc combined in 1999 to create Aventis, they decided it would be run in English, in part to avoid choosing between their respective languages. Nevertheless, Tsedal Neeley of Harvard Business School says that “Englishnisation”, a word she borrows from Mr. Mikitani, can stir up a hornet’s nest (马蜂窝) of emotions. Slow learners lose their self-confidence or even worry about their job security. Clique (小团体) of the fluent and the non-fluent can develop. So can lawsuits: in 2004 workers at a French subsidiary of GE took it to court for requiring them to read internal documents in English; the firm received a big fine. In all, a policy designed to bring employees together can all too easily have the opposite effect. 1．Why does the author mention Yang Yuanqing in the first paragraph? A．To argue against a viewpoint. B．To introduce the topic. C．To illustrate a received opinion. D．To raise a question. 2．Which of the following is TRUE about Audi according to the passage? A．German is seldom used in its advertisements. B．Most of its senior managers are based in Germany. C．Employees who can’t speak English are less likely to be promoted. D．It is an auto maker most famous for the technology that it has developed. 3．Why do multinational companies adopt English? A．English makes it easier for them to go global. B．English is most widely used in advanced countries. C．English bridges the gap between managers from different countries. D．English helps them to distinguish between junior and senior employees. 4．Tsedal Neeley is most likely to agree that ______. A．using English as a company’s official language may not achieve its intended purpose B．emotional anxiety is very common in a company before English is officially used C．slow learners shouldn’t be punished in an English-speaking company D．it is better for internal documents to be written in English 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了非英语国家的跨国公司越来越多地将英语作为官方语言的现象，分析了其背后的原因（如便于招聘全球人才、进入全球市场、整合海外并购等），同时也指出了这一政策可能引发的负面后果（如员工焦虑、小圈子形成、法律诉讼等）。 【详解】1．推理判断题。第一段作者以杨元庆学习英语的经历开篇——从“hardly spoke a word of English until he was about 40(直到40岁左右，他才开始说英语)”到“spent hours watching cable-TV news(花几个小时看有线电视新闻)”和“conducted all his business in English(用英语处理他所有的事务)”，随后第二段以“Lenovo is one of a growing number of multinationals from the non-English world(联想是越来越多来自非英语国家的跨国公司之一)”承接上文，将个案扩展为普遍现象，所以作者通过杨元庆这一具体案例引出了下文关于“非英语国家的跨国公司越来越多地将英语作为官方语言”这一话题的讨论。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Audi may use a German phrase — Vorsprung durch Technik, or progress through engineering — in its advertisements, but it is impossible to progress through its management ranks without good English.(奥迪可能会在广告中使用德语短语“Vorsprung durch Technik”，即技术引领进步，但如果没有良好的英语能力，就不可能在管理层晋升)”可知，在奥迪公司，英语能力与晋升密切相关，不会英语的员工晋升可能性较小。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Adopting English makes it easier to recruit global stars, reach global markets, assemble global production teams and integrate foreign acquisitions.(采用英语使得招聘全球人才、进入全球市场、组建全球生产团队以及整合海外并购变得更加容易。）”可知，跨国公司采用英语是因为这有利于它们走向全球。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In all, a policy designed to bring employees together can all too easily have the opposite effect.(总而言之，一项旨在团结员工的政策，很容易产生相反的效果。）”可知，Tsedal Neeley认为将英语作为公司官方语言这一政策可能达不到预期目的，反而可能带来负面后果。 Passage 2 Learning any language is hard, but learning English can be especially challenging. Why? Because native speakers use the language in ways that textbooks could never describe. In particular, words that British people use cause many language students to scratch their heads. Here’s an example: You overhear a Briton calling someone a “wazzock”. But what exactly is a wazzock? This word, in fact, means a foolish person, although there’s nothing about it that would help you guess that. There are many strange terms like this in British English — the Oxford English Dictionary would be much smaller without these odd usages filling its pages. How can these odd words be explained? Part of the answer is the British sense of humor. Britons don’t like to take things too seriously, and this is evident through many British words and phrases. For example, to “spend a penny” means to use the bathroom. It refers to the days when people had to pay a penny to use a public toilet. In an interview, British linguist David Crystal suggested there may be historical reasons for the large number of odd words and phrases in British English. He thought that they began in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This was a great age for the theater, when Shakespeare and other writers worked hard to keep up with the demand for new plays. The theater’s popularity also provided an incentive (刺激) to create new words. With this in mind, perhaps Shakespeare and his peers (同行) are responsible for unusual British words such as “codswallop” and “balderdash” — which both, ironically (讽刺地), mean “nonsense”. While these strange words may be confusing to non-native speakers, they certainly make studying English a lot more interesting. 1．What may make it hard for non-native speakers to learn English? A．The large English vocabulary. B．Complex grammar rules. C．A great many strange words. D．Out-of-date English textbooks. 2．Why does the author mention the example of “spend a penny”? A．To show what typical British sense of humor is. B．To explain how some strange phrases were created. C．To explain the meaning and background of the phrase. D．To show British people’s attitude toward strange words. 3．Which statement may David Crystal agree with? A．Shakespeare created many nonsense words. B．Shakespeare’s works are hard due to the odd words. C．The theater’s 17th-century success led to many odd words. D．The odd words in new plays helped the theater’s popularity. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．The development of British English. B．The origin and meanings of British humor. C．Shakespeare’s influence on British English. D．Some reasons for odd words in British English. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文介绍了英式英语中存在大量奇特词汇和短语这一现象，结合幽默文化与历史背景分析了这类特殊表达产生的原因。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Learning any language is hard, but learning English can be especially challenging. Why? Because native speakers use the language in ways that textbooks could never describe. In particular, words that British people use cause many language students to scratch their heads.(学习任何语言都很难，但学习英语尤其具有挑战性。为什么呢？因为母语者使用这门语言的方式是教科书永远无法描述的。尤其是英国人使用的词汇让很多语言学习者摸不着头脑)”以及第二段“There are many strange terms like this in British English — the Oxford English Dictionary would be much smaller without these odd usages filling its pages.(英式英语中有很多这类奇怪的词汇——要是没有这些奇特用法填满书页，《牛津英语词典》会小得多)”可知，对于非母语学习者来说，大量的英式奇特词汇让英语学习变得更难。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“How can these odd words be explained? Part of the answer is the British sense of humor. Britons don’t like to take things too seriously, and this is evident through many British words and phrases. For example, to “spend a penny” means to use the bathroom. It refers to the days when people had to pay a penny to use a public toilet.(这些奇特的词汇该如何解释呢？部分答案在于英国人的幽默感。英国人不喜欢把事情看得太重，这一点在很多英式词汇和短语中都很明显。举个例子，“spend a penny”(花一便士)这个短语的意思是使用洗手间，这个说法指的是人们使用公共厕得支付一便士的那些日子)”可知，作者以“spend a penny”为例，是为了解释说明一部分奇怪短语的形成过程。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“In an interview, British linguist David Crystal suggested there may be historical reasons for the large number of odd words and phrases in British English. He thought that they began in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This was a great age for the theater, when Shakespeare and other writers worked hard to keep up with the demand for new plays. The theater’s popularity also provided an incentive (刺激) to create new words.(在一次采访中，英国语言学家大卫·克里斯托表示，英式英语存在大量奇特词汇和短语可能有历史原因。他认为这些词汇和短语起源于16世纪末至17世纪初。这是戏剧发展的伟大时代，莎士比亚和其他剧作家努力跟上大众对新戏剧的需求。戏剧的流行也刺激了新词汇的创造)”可知，大卫·克里斯托认同17世纪戏剧的繁荣催生了大量奇特词汇这一观点。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章开篇提出英式英语中有很多让学习者困惑的奇特词汇和短语，之后第三段介绍了幽默感是这类词汇产生的一个原因，第四、五段介绍了16-17世纪戏剧发展催生新词汇的历史原因，最后总结点明这类词汇让英语学习更有趣，全文围绕“英式英语中奇特词汇产生的原因”展开。 Passage 3 How to Become a Better English Learner Learning a new language like English can be a challenge. 1 Classes are important, but so is consistent practice. It can even be enjoyable. Here are some guidelines to help you become a more effective English learner. Study every day. Learning any new language takes time — more than 300 hours by some estimates. Rather than trying to cram a few hours of review once or twice a week, most experts recommend short, regular study sessions for better results. 2 3 Instead of focusing on one single task for your entire study session, try mixing things up. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don’t do too much at once; 20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty. The variety will keep you engaged and make studying more enjoyable. Read, watch, and listen. Reading English-language newspapers and books, listening to music, or watching TV shows can also help you improve your written and verbal comprehension skills. 4 Write it down. Repetition is key as you’re learning English, so writing is an excellent way to practice. 5 By making writing a habit, you’ll also find your reading and comprehension skills improve over time. You might even discover you have a talent for writing. A．Keep things fresh and varied. B．Play vocabulary and grammar games. C．But with regular study, it can be done. D．It doesn’t matter whether you use a computer or pen and paper. E．Non-native English speakers sometimes struggle with listening comprehension. F．As little as 30 minutes a day can help you improve your English skills over time. G．By doing so repeatedly, you’ll absorb things like speech patterns, accents, and grammar. 【答案】1．C 2．F 3．A 4．G 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍高效学习英语的几条实用方法，倡导坚持每日学习、多样化学习方式，借助视听素材与书写练习提升英语水平。 【详解】1．根据空前的“Learning a new language like English can be a challenge.(学习英语这样一门新语言会是一项挑战。)”以及空后的“Classes are important, but so is consistent practice.(课堂学习很重要，但持续练习同样重要。)”可知，前文点明学英语存在难度，后文阐述学习的要点，空格处需要进行语义转折，说明坚持学习就能够攻克难题。C选项“But with regular study, it can be done. (但是通过规律学习，这件事是可以实现的。)” 使用转折词承接上文挑战，自然引出下文学习建议，符合语境。 2．根据本段首句“Study every day.(每天学习。)”和空前的“Rather than trying to cram a few hours of review once or twice a week, most experts recommend short, regular study sessions for better results.(大多数专家建议进行短时、规律的学习以取得更好效果，而不是一周一两次突击复习几个小时。)”可知，本段主旨为每日短时学习，空格处需要对短时规律学习进行具体说明。F选项“As little as 30 minutes a day can help you improve your English skills over time. (每天仅仅三十分钟，久而久之就能帮助你提升英语能力。)”承接专家给出的学习建议，给出具体的学习时长参考，契合本段主旨句，符合语境。 3．分析语篇可知，此处为本段的主旨句，和其他段落主旨句格式保持一致。根据空后的“Instead of focusing on one single task for your entire study session, try mixing things up.(不要在整个学习时段只专注单一任务，尝试穿插不同学习内容。)”以及“The variety will keep you engaged and make studying more enjoyable.(多样化的安排能让你保持专注，让学习更加有趣。)”可知，本段核心是学习内容要丰富多变。A选项“Keep things fresh and varied. (保持学习内容新颖且多样化。)”概括本段全部内容，适合作为本段小标题，符合语境。 4．根据空前的“Reading English-language newspapers and books, listening to music, or watching TV shows can also help you improve your written and verbal comprehension skills.(阅读英文报纸和书籍、听音乐或者看电视节目，也能够帮助你提升书面和口头理解能力。)”可知，空格处需要说明长期进行这类视听阅读练习带来的收获。G选项“By doing so repeatedly, you’ll absorb things like speech patterns, accents, and grammar. (反复进行这类练习，你会掌握语言句式、口音以及语法等知识。)”中By doing so指代前文各类英文视听阅读活动，阐述该学习方式的作用，符合语境。 5．根据空前的“Repetition is key as you’re learning English, so writing is an excellent way to practice.(重复是学习英语的关键，所以书写是绝佳的练习方式。)”以及空后的“By making writing a habit, you’ll also find your reading and comprehension skills improve over time.(养成书写习惯后，久而久之你会发现自身阅读与理解能力得到提升。)”可知，本段围绕书写练习展开。D选项“It doesn’t matter whether you use a computer or pen and paper. (使用电脑还是纸笔书写都无关紧要。)”承接书写练习这一核心，说明书写载体没有限制，衔接前后内容，符合语境。 Passage 4 The world where we live is a colorful place with different languages, skin colors, and different cultures. 1 . A way to develop this appreciation is to try to learn about other cultures around the world. There are several ways to become knowledgeable about different cultures. 2 . Reading works by authors who have a close relationship with a particular culture allows people to gain an accurate glimpse into the food, music, language, and way of life of a particular group of people. For example, 3 , she will often read them stories based on folk tales of that culture. Another way to learn about different cultures is to try to learn a foreign language. A variety of language-learning books, software, and audio programs are available at the public library or bookstores. 4 . Making contact with people who are native speakers of the language allows you to gain firsthand knowledge of a particular culture as you struggle to learn the language. 5 . Whether you want to learn more about Japan, the Middle East, Africa, or any other region, becoming familiar with its food is a giant step in the right direction. Food is an important part of different cultures and allows people to gain insight into a particular cultural group’s way of life. A．when a student wants to learn more about a different culture B．when a teacher wishes to expose her students to a different culture C．One way is to read books written by authors from a particular culture D．Learn about different cultures by tasting food from a specific cultural group E．Gaining an understanding of other cultures benefits both you and other people F．You can choose a language to learn and make use of learning materials to help you master the language G．It’s important to develop an appreciation for different cultures to become a well-rounded person 【答案】1．G 2．C 3．B 4．F 5．D 【导语】本文指出世界文化多元，强调欣赏不同文化的意义，并依次介绍读书、学外语、品尝特色美食三种了解异域文化的途径。 【详解】1．上文“The world where we live is a colorful place with different languages, skin colors, and different cultures. (我们生活的世界丰富多彩，有不同的语言、肤色与多元文化。)”描绘世界文化多样的大背景，下文“A way to develop this appreciation is to try to learn about other cultures around the world. (培养这种欣赏力的一种方式就是尝试了解世界各地的其他文化。)”提到培养欣赏力的方法。G选项“It’s important to develop an appreciation for different cultures to become a well-rounded person (培养对不同文化的欣赏意识，对成为全面发展的人至关重要)”承接上文的文化多样性，呼应下文的关键词appreciation，引出培养文化欣赏力的可行办法，起到承上启下的作用。 2．上文“There are several ways to become knowledgeable about different cultures. (有多种途径可以了解不同文化)”总起本段，说明下文将介绍第一种学习文化的方式。下文“Reading works by authors who have a close relationship with a particular culture allows people to gain an accurate glimpse into the food, music, language, and way of life of a particular group of people. (阅读与特定文化渊源深厚的作家作品，能让人真切了解族群的饮食、音乐、语言与生活方式。)”说明读书对了解文化的作用。C选项“One way is to read books written by authors from a particular culture (方法之一是阅读来自某一特定文化的作者撰写的书籍)”承接总起句，点出本段核心途径阅读，引出下文对阅读优势的详细阐述。 3．下文“she will often read them stories based on folk tales of that culture. (她常会给他们读基于该文化民间传说的故事。)”出现人称代词she，说明上文需要出现女性人物单数。B选项“when a teacher wishes to expose her students to a different culture  (当老师想要让学生接触异域文化时)”包含a teacher，对应下文的she，举例说明教师会通过故事普及异域文化，符合语境。 4．上文“A variety of language-learning books, software, and audio programs are available at the public library or bookstores. (图书馆和书店有各类语言学习书籍、软件与音频资料。)”介绍可获取的语言学习资源。F选项“You can choose a language to learn and make use of learning materials to help you master the language (你可以选定一门语言，借助各类学习资料掌握它)”承接上文的学习资源，给出利用各类资料学语言的建议。 5．下文“Whether you want to learn more about Japan, the Middle East, Africa, or any other region, becoming familiar with its food is a giant step in the right direction. Food is an important part of different cultures and allows people to gain insight into a particular cultural group’s way of life. (无论你想了解日本、中东、非洲或是其他地区，熟悉当地美食是重要一步。食物是文化的重要部分，能让人读懂族群生活方式。)”围绕美食了解文化展开说明。D选项“Learn about different cultures by tasting food from a specific cultural group (品尝特定族群的美食来了解多元文化)”放在段首，精准概括本段核心方法，上下文形成“总起观点——详细解释”的总分结构。 Passage 5 I first learned about Esperanto, the universal language, from my friend Keayon. It was 1 in the late nineteenth century by L. L. Zamenhof, who aimed to create an easy-to-learn language as a second 2 for people all over the world. As a teenager, I was learning how to connect with others. I enjoyed free travels and group activities to 3 people. For me, Esperanto seemed like a community that brought people together. Yet I doubted its 4 . With the Internet providing tools for communication across distance and difference, why take the 5 to learn Esperanto? That 6 stayed with me until years later, when I was invited to an Esperanto conference. There, I felt 7 — deep conversations, laughter, even tears as we sang together for peace. For a week, I 8 the very connection that Zamenhof had dreamed of. Then, a chance trip brought me to Green Star, 9 a famous Esperanto pub. It used to be a hotspot for Esperanto learners decades ago, yet now, on the wall outside, only a faded star-shaped sign 10 its founder.

Even when you know lots of words, misunderstandings can still happen. Some words look similar in two languages but carry completely different meanings. Language experts call these “false friends”. These confusing words often create funny or embarrassing situations for language learners. A speaker of one language may use a word confidently, only to find listeners understand something totally different. These mistakes are not caused by poor grammar. They come from the shared history of languages. Many European languages share Latin roots, so some words look almost identical, yet their meanings have changed over centuries. Textbooks cannot teach every tricky word. Real‑life communication often brings unexpected surprises. Good language learners do not fear these moments. Instead, they treat misunderstandings as part of exploring a new language. Every mistake teaches them something new about culture and history behind the words they use. 【全文翻译】 学习一门外语，并不仅仅是记忆词汇和语法规则。即便你掌握大量单词，误解依旧可能发生。有些词在两种语言中外形相似，但含义截然不同。语言专家把它们叫作 “假朋友”。这些令人困惑的词汇，常常给语言学习者带来好笑或是尴尬的处境。一个外语使用者很有把握地说出一个词，结果却发现听者理解的意思完全不一样。这类错误并非语法不好造成，而是源于语言共同的历史。许多欧洲语言拥有拉丁语渊源，因此部分单词看上去几乎一模一样，但数个世纪以来词义已经发生了变化。课本无法教给大家所有这类棘手词汇。现实交际常常出现意料之外的状况。优秀的语言学习者不会惧怕这些时刻，反而把误解当作探索一门新语言的一部分。每一次错误，都会教会他们更多词汇背后的文化与历史。 【核心词汇】 1 / 13 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 ① memorise v. 记忆；记住 ② vocabulary n. 词汇；词汇量 ③ grammar n. 语法 ④ misunderstanding n. 误解；误会 ⑤ false adj. 错误的；虚假的 ⑥ expert n. 专家 ⑦ confusing adj. 令人困惑的 ⑧ embarrassing adj. 令人尴尬的 ⑨ situation n. 情况；处境 ⑩ confidently adv. 自信地 ⑪ listener n. 听者；听众 ⑫ identical adj. 完全相同的 ⑬ root n. 根源；词根 ⑭ century n. 世纪；百年 ⑮ tricky adj. 难对付的；棘手的 ⑯ textbook n. 课本；教科书 ⑰ communication n. 交流；交际 ⑱ unexpected adj. 出乎意料的 ⑲ treat v. 看待；对待 ⑳ explore v. 探索；探究 【长难句分析】 1.What surprised us most was that many learners still met with misunderstandings though they had mastered plenty of English words. 句意：让我们最惊讶的是，许多学习者尽管已经掌握大量英语单词，依旧会遇到误解。 分析：本句中 What surprised us most 是主语从句；was 为系动词；that 引导表语从句；从句内部包含 though 引导的让步状语从句。 2.

But when Lenovo bought IBM’s personal-computer division in 2005, he decided to engage himself in English; he moved his family to North Carolina, hired a language tutor and spent hours watching cable-TV news. He conducted all his business in English except for briefing for the Chinese press. Lenovo is one of a growing number of multinationals from the non-English world that have made English their official language. The fashion began in places with small populations but global ambitions such as Singapore, which kept English as its lingua franca (通用语) when it left the British empire in 1963, and Switzerland. Goran Lindahl, a former boss of ABB, a Swiss-Swedish engineering giant, once described its official language as “poor English”. The practice spread to the big European countries: numerous German and French multinationals now use English in board meetings and official documents. Audi may use a German phrase — Vorsprung durch Technik, or progress through engineering — in its advertisements, but it is impossible to progress through its management ranks without good English. When Christoph Franz became boss of Lufthansa in 2011, he made English its official language even though all but a handful of the airline’s 50 most senior managers were German. There are some obvious reasons why multinational companies want a lingua franca. Adopting English makes it easier to recruit global stars (including board members), reach global markets, assemble global production teams and integrate foreign acquisitions. Such steps are especially important to companies in Japan, where the population is shrinking. There are less obvious reasons too. Rakuten’s boss, Hiroshi Mikitani, argues that English promotes free thinking because it is free from the status distinctions which characterize Japanese and other Asian languages. Antonella Mei-Pochtler of the Boston Consulting Group notes that German firms get through their business much faster in English than in German. English can provide a neutral language in a merger (合并而成的公司): when Germany’s Hoechst and France’s Rhone-Poulenc combined in 1999 to create Aventis, they decided it would be run in English, in part to avoid choosing between their respective languages. Nevertheless, Tsedal Neeley of Harvard Business School says that “Englishnisation”, a word she borrows from Mr. Mikitani, can stir up a hornet’s nest (马蜂窝) of emotions. Slow learners lose their self-confidence or even worry about their job security. Clique (小团体) of the fluent and the non-fluent can develop. So can lawsuits: in 2004 workers at a French subsidiary of GE took it to court for requiring them to read internal documents in English; the firm received a big fine. In all, a policy designed to bring employees together can all too easily have the opposite effect. 1．Why does the author mention Yang Yuanqing in the first paragraph? A．To argue against a viewpoint. B．To introduce the topic. C．To illustrate a received opinion. D．To raise a question. 2．Which of the following is TRUE about Audi according to the passage? A．German is seldom used in its advertisements. B．Most of its senior managers are based in Germany. C．Employees who can’t speak English are less likely to be promoted. D．It is an auto maker most famous for the technology that it has developed. 3．Why do multinational companies adopt English? A．English makes it easier for them to go global. B．English is most widely used in advanced countries. C．English bridges the gap between managers from different countries. D．English helps them to distinguish between junior and senior employees. 4．Tsedal Neeley is most likely to agree that ______. A．using English as a company’s official language may not achieve its intended purpose B．emotional anxiety is very common in a company before English is officially used C．slow learners shouldn’t be punished in an English-speaking company D．it is better for internal documents to be written in English Passage 2 Learning any language is hard, but learning English can be especially challenging. Why? Because native speakers use the language in ways that textbooks could never describe. In particular, words that British people use cause many language students to scratch their heads. Here’s an example: You overhear a Briton calling someone a “wazzock”. But what exactly is a wazzock? This word, in fact, means a foolish person, although there’s nothing about it that would help you guess that. There are many strange terms like this in British English — the Oxford English Dictionary would be much smaller without these odd usages filling its pages. How can these odd words be explained? Part of the answer is the British sense of humor. Britons don’t like to take things too seriously, and this is evident through many British words and phrases. For example, to “spend a penny” means to use the bathroom. It refers to the days when people had to pay a penny to use a public toilet. In an interview, British linguist David Crystal suggested there may be historical reasons for the large number of odd words and phrases in British English. He thought that they began in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This was a great age for the theater, when Shakespeare and other writers worked hard to keep up with the demand for new plays. The theater’s popularity also provided an incentive (刺激) to create new words. With this in mind, perhaps Shakespeare and his peers (同行) are responsible for unusual British words such as “codswallop” and “balderdash” — which both, ironically (讽刺地), mean “nonsense”. While these strange words may be confusing to non-native speakers, they certainly make studying English a lot more interesting. 1．What may make it hard for non-native speakers to learn English? A．The large English vocabulary. B．Complex grammar rules. C．A great many strange words. D．Out-of-date English textbooks. 2．Why does the author mention the example of “spend a penny”? A．To show what typical British sense of humor is. B．To explain how some strange phrases were created. C．To explain the meaning and background of the phrase. D．To show British people’s attitude toward strange words. 3．Which statement may David Crystal agree with? A．Shakespeare created many nonsense words. B．Shakespeare’s works are hard due to the odd words. C．The theater’s 17th-century success led to many odd words. D．The odd words in new plays helped the theater’s popularity. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．The development of British English. B．The origin and meanings of British humor. C．Shakespeare’s influence on British English. D．Some reasons for odd words in British English. Passage 3 How to Become a Better English Learner Learning a new language like English can be a challenge. 1 Classes are important, but so is consistent practice. It can even be enjoyable. Here are some guidelines to help you become a more effective English learner. Study every day. Learning any new language takes time — more than 300 hours by some estimates. Rather than trying to cram a few hours of review once or twice a week, most experts recommend short, regular study sessions for better results. 2 3 Instead of focusing on one single task for your entire study session, try mixing things up. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don’t do too much at once; 20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty. The variety will keep you engaged and make studying more enjoyable. Read, watch, and listen. Reading English-language newspapers and books, listening to music, or watching TV shows can also help you improve your written and verbal comprehension skills. 4 Write it down. Repetition is key as you’re learning English, so writing is an excellent way to practice. 5 By making writing a habit, you’ll also find your reading and comprehension skills improve over time. You might even discover you have a talent for writing. A．Keep things fresh and varied. B．Play vocabulary and grammar games. C．But with regular study, it can be done. D．It doesn’t matter whether you use a computer or pen and paper. E．Non-native English speakers sometimes struggle with listening comprehension. F．As little as 30 minutes a day can help you improve your English skills over time. G．By doing so repeatedly, you’ll absorb things like speech patterns, accents, and grammar. Passage 4 The world where we live is a colorful place with different languages, skin colors, and different cultures. 1 . A way to develop this appreciation is to try to learn about other cultures around the world. There are several ways to become knowledgeable about different cultures. 2 . Reading works by authors who have a close relationship with a particular culture allows people to gain an accurate glimpse into the food, music, language, and way of life of a particular group of people. For example, 3 , she will often read them stories based on folk tales of that culture. Another way to learn about different cultures is to try to learn a foreign language. A variety of language-learning books, software, and audio programs are available at the public library or bookstores. 4 . Making contact with people who are native speakers of the language allows you to gain firsthand knowledge of a particular culture as you struggle to learn the language. 5 . Whether you want to learn more about Japan, the Middle East, Africa, or any other region, becoming familiar with its food is a giant step in the right direction. Food is an important part of different cultures and allows people to gain insight into a particular cultural group’s way of life. A．when a student wants to learn more about a different culture B．when a teacher wishes to expose her students to a different culture C．One way is to read books written by authors from a particular culture D．Learn about different cultures by tasting food from a specific cultural group E．Gaining an understanding of other cultures benefits both you and other people F．You can choose a language to learn and make use of learning materials to help you master the language G．It’s important to develop an appreciation for different cultures to become a well-rounded person Passage 5 I first learned about Esperanto, the universal language, from my friend Keayon. It was 1 in the late nineteenth century by L. L. Zamenhof, who aimed to create an easy-to-learn language as a second 2 for people all over the world. As a teenager, I was learning how to connect with others. I enjoyed free travels and group activities to 3 people. For me, Esperanto seemed like a community that brought people together. Yet I doubted its 4 . With the Internet providing tools for communication across distance and difference, why take the 5 to learn Esperanto? That 6 stayed with me until years later, when I was invited to an Esperanto conference. There, I felt 7 — deep conversations, laughter, even tears as we sang together for peace. For a week, I 8 the very connection that Zamenhof had dreamed of. Then, a chance trip brought me to Green Star, 9 a famous Esperanto pub. It used to be a hotspot for Esperanto learners decades ago, yet now, on the wall outside, only a faded star-shaped sign 10 its founder. Inside, it is a(n) 11 bar; neither the waiters nor regular customers know anything about Esperanto. I 12 Esperanto’s past glory with some customers, but they soon 13 local topics.
