The reason goes back to the year 1066, when Norman forces invaded(入侵)what is now Britain. The Normans were from northern France and spoke French. During the Norman occupation, French became the language of England’s rulers and wealthy class. This lasted for more than 300 years. Other people in England continued to speak English during this period. Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language. However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way. Take, for example, the French word “college”. In English, college can often be used in place of the word “university”, or sometimes as a school within a university. However, in French, college actually means “middle school”, or the level of schooling for students in grades five or six through eight. There are many other similar words in the two languages with completely different meanings. In English, the word “chat” is a verb which means “to talk casually”; but in French, the word “chat” is the word for an animal: a cat. If an English speaker says someone is jolly, that means they are cheerful or friendly. But in French, “jolie” means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. In any case, both are nice things to say to someone. (　　)1. What does the author stress about the French words in English? A.Their spelling forms. B. Their changes in history. C. Their puzzles for English. D. Their different meanings. (　　)2. What does a Frenchman mean if he says he likes a chat? A. He likes a kind of pet. B. He wants to have a talk. C. He hates to speak English. D. He prefers to chat in French. (　　)3. What is the French word “jolie” used to do? A. Replace “jolly” in English. B. Describe people’s looks. C. Refer to people’s happiness. D. Prove the change in French. (　　)4. What is the text mainly about? A. Comparison between two languages. B. Difficulty in grasping English. C. French words in English. D. Development of English. 二、七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处最佳选项。选项中有两项多余选项。 Chinese is one of the two world languages with over a billion speakers. While the Internet has referred to English as the most used language, Chinese still holds the top position as the most used mother tongue.   1   Just think of how many more people you’d be able to talk to after learning some Chinese! There are five traditional forms of Chinese calligraphy. These are considered classical arts and representatives of Chinese art styles.   2   It first appeared during the Zhou Dynasty and is still popular among calligraphy artists today.   3   This makes it quite difficult for non-native speakers to tell words from sound combinations(组合). When you add in the tones, it adds up to make Chinese one of the most difficult languages to listen to and understand. Various factors contributed to making Chinese one of the hardest languages to learn for foreigners.   4   Usually, you must learn 3,000 characters in order to be considered fluent enough to read the morning newspaper. However, the language consists of tens of thousands of characters that make fluency a difficult task. When you’re walking around China, you might be surprised at the amount of words you’re able to pick up quickly. Thanks to an increase in exposure to Western culture, Chinese has many loanwords, or words borrowed from English, in use today. The origin of Chinese comes from the discovery of the famous Oracle Bones and what is believed to be the earliest symbols of Chinese. These bones were first used in the Shang Dynasty. With such a rich history, Chinese has obviously experienced many changes and influences due to wars and cultural shifts (变迁).   5   A. Ancient Chinese characters were used 3,000 years ago. B. However, the language still existed and continued to grow. C. In 2010, the number of Chinese native speakers totaled 955 million people. D. People who wish to study Chinese must put in years of work to reach fluency. E. Thanks to its unique sound system, Chinese is filled with similar sounding words. F. The world’s most natively-spoken language, Chinese, still remains a puzzle to the West. G. The most popular calligraphy style is the Seal Character style developed by the Han people. 1._________ 2._________ 3._________ 4._________ 5._________ 三、语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 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。 Rachel and her husband, Jason, 1 were both experienced climbers, were on a climbing holiday in Switzerland.
