Miss Yang did not answer directly. Instead, she asked us to list the good things English had already brought us. / Wang Nan raised her hand first. She has a penfriend in Canada, and they write to each other in English twice a month. “Through her letters, I learned about snowy winters and maple leaves,” she said. “Making a friend far away makes English real.” / Then Li Xiang told his story. Last summer, his family bought a new camera abroad, and the instruction book was in English. He read it carefully and taught his father how to use every button. “At that moment, my English became really useful,” he said with pride. During the winter holiday, English also helped his family ask the way and order food when they travelled. / Miss Yang smiled and wrote one sentence on the blackboard: A foreign language is not just a subject — it is a key. It opens the door to new friends, new places and new knowledge. “The world is talking,” she said. “Learn the language, and you will be part of the talk.” 任务一：单项选择 1.How often does Wang Nan write to her penfriend? A.Once a week. B.Twice a month. C.Twice a week. D.Once a month. 2.What did Li Xiang do with the instruction book? A.He threw it away. B.He read it and taught his father. C.He lost it in Singapore. D.He asked the teacher for help. 任务二：判断正误(T/F) 3.Wang Nan's penfriend lives in Canada. (　　) 4.Miss Yang thinks a foreign language is just a school subject. (　　) 任务三：简答 5.What is a foreign language compared to? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage2（课外同源：会说三十三种方言的语言奇才） 　　In the history of modern Chinese language study, one name shines brightly: Zhao Yuanren (1892-1982), honoured as the father of modern Chinese linguistics. He was a true language genius. / Zhao Yuanren grew up between different places and languages. As a child, he learned to speak several dialects from his family members and neighbours. Later he studied in America, and he could speak English and French as well as a native speaker. What amazed people most was his gift for dialects: he mastered thirty-three Chinese dialects, and wherever he went, he could learn the local way of speaking within days. Once, on a trip, he spoke the dialect of each place he passed, and people took him for a fellow villager. / He was not only a speaker but also a great scholar. He taught at Tsinghua University and later at Harvard University, and he studied the sounds and tones of Chinese with scientific methods. People called him “the wonder of Chinese linguistics”. / Zhao Yuanren once said that learning a language was like making a new friend. His story tells us a simple truth: a language is a door, and behind every door waits a wider world. If we keep both interest and patience, we too can open more doors in our lives. 任务一：单项选择 1.How many Chinese dialects did Zhao Yuanren master? A.Thirty. B.Thirty-two. C.Thirty-three. D.Thirteen. 2.Where did Zhao Yuanren teach? A.Only at Tsinghua. B.Only at Harvard. C.At Tsinghua and Harvard. D.At Peking University. 任务二：判断正误(T/F) 3.Zhao Yuanren was honoured as the father of modern Chinese linguistics. (　　) 4.Zhao Yuanren thought learning a language was boring. (　　) 任务三：简答 5.What did Zhao Yuanren say learning a language was like? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 任务四：单元微写作 学校英文报正开展“Why Learn a Foreign Language?”主题征文。请谈谈学好外语的好处，不少于6句话。请写清至少两条好处，并用上 make friends with 和 not...until。 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 夯实基础 一、单词汉译英 1.foreign 2.language 3.dialect 4.linguist 5.genius 6.chance 7.instruction 8.translate 9.abroad 10.penfriend 11.master 12.benefit 二、短语汉译英 1.make friends with sb 2.not...until 3.both...and 4.read instructions 5.work as 6.be known as 7.all over the country 8.open a door to 三、词形变换 1.foreigner 2.translation 3.traveller 4.difference 5.importance 能力进阶 一、单句填空 1.until 2.or 3.so 4.and 5.but 二、根据汉语意思完成句子 1.become; until 2.understand; until 3.make; friends 4.known; as 5.both; and 三、句型转换 1.Who 2.If 3.Did; make 4.How; useful 5.both; and 四、选词填空 1.foreign 2.dialect 3.chances 4.translate 5.abroad 五、情景补全对话 答案：1.A 2.C 3.E 4.B 5.D；多余项：F 拓展提高 Passage1 任务一：1.B 2.B 任务二：3.T 4.F 任务三简答：5.It is compared to a key. Passage2 任务一：1.C 2.C 任务二：3.T 4.F 任务三简答：5.He said it was like making a new friend. 任务四范文：Learning a foreign language brings us many benefits. First, it helps us make friends with people from other countries, and a penfriend far away can teach us about a different culture. Second, it makes travel easier, because we can ask the way, order food and read signs when we go abroad. Third, many useful instructions and books are written in English, so a foreign language opens the door to more knowledge. I didn't realize these benefits until I helped a foreign visitor find her hotel last year. Her warm “thank you” made me proud and happy. Since then, I have studied English harder, because every new word is a step towards a wider world. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
