English was first spoken by the AngloSaxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over 15 centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.Unit 7 Text BComprehension Check:16: c c c d b dTranslation:1. 這一過程在幾個方面都是前所未有的：英語使用人數(shù)的增加，英語在不同社會滲透的深度，以及英語功用的廣度。2. 大約1500年前，英語還只是那些入侵英格蘭的鮮為人知的日耳曼部落使用的一種粗俗的語言，如今它卻遍及全球。3. 隨著它在科技領域主導地位的確立，英語先是在歐洲，繼而在全球開始取得全面的主導地位。4. 雖然英語、德語和法語這些語言曾經(jīng)憑著各自政府的政治力量而成為國際語言，這種情況在經(jīng)濟和人口變化對語言的影響更大的21世紀不太可能發(fā)生。Language Practice:1. g – 1)。 e – 2)。 d – 3)。 c – 4)。 b – 5)。 h – 6)。 f – 7)。 a – 8)2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5) in transition 6) aspect 7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) had contributed to 11) unique 12) rid yourself ofUnit 8 Text ALanguage Sense Enhancement:1) heart 2) in harmony with 3) in the midst 4) prosperous 5) orchards 6) drifted 7) blaze 8) flickered 9) barked 10) mistsVocabulary:I. 1. 1) barking 2) evil 3) brooding, hatched 4) migrant 5) tragedies 6) counterpart 7) are plaining/ plain 8) grim 9) flocks, fed on 10) vegetation 11) patches 12) Scores of2. 1) … was lined with people who came to wele the distinguished foreign guests2) … the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office3) … wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed the crowd unnoticed4) … looked deserted5) … were stricken by it3. 1) patches, came into full bloom, were puzzled, mysterious2) throbbed with, sickened, migrant, a chorus3) had crept into, flickered, the starkII.
