The effect is most noticeable in pop music. Foreign groups often record in English, and the words are picked up and repeated in the same language everywhere, even by children who otherwise have little or no mand of the language. I once met a Brazilian child of about ten who could count 39。one, two, three39。, but only by adding the words 39。o39。clock, four o39。clock rock 39。at the end. Some people are often strongly critical of the influence of English on their language especially when an English word replaces a traditional word. In 1977, France passed a law banning the use of English words in official situations if an equivalent( 意義相同的)French expression existed but the law seemed to be honored more in the breaking than in the observing. Some other countries have considered introducing a similar law despite the evidence that such laws have very little effect, and that the arrival of loan words( 外來詞) can greatly enrich a language (as indeed in the case of English itself, which has a long history of weling foreign words). However, not everyone is critical. In particular, mercial firms and advertisers are well aware of the potential selling power that the use of English vocabulary can bring. In Japan, English is even used in television mercials, despite the fact that the majority of viewers would not understand exactly what was being said: the excellence implied by the mere use of English is apparently enough to mand the strategy to the advertisers. Most of the influence of English is upon the vocabulary of foreign languages, but surveys are slowly bringing to light several cases where word order or word structure has been affected. Sentences of the type “The book sells well”, using an active construction for a passive meaning, have begun to appear in Danish (Bogen soelger godt). Several languages keep the English plural ending when they make use of a loan word, and do not translate it into the native form, . drinks. There are many other such cases.(1)Why could the Brazilian child speak 39。one, two, three39。 in English? A.Because he had seen these words everywhere in the street.B.Because he had learnt how to tell the time in English.C.Because he had made himself master of English.D.Because he had heard these words in songs a lot.(2)What can we infer about the law passed in France in1977? A.It was strict.B.It was unfair.C.It was often ignored.D.It was strongly opposed.(3)Some Japanese mercials use English in the hope of . A.following the American trendB.being worldfamousC.enriching JapaneseD.increasing sales(4)The last paragraph is mainly developed by . A.providing examplesB.making parisonsC.explaining grammar rulesD.analyzing language change(5)What is the authors attitude towards language change? A.Critical.B.Objective.C.Concerned.D.Supportive.【答案】 (1)D(2)C(3)D(4)A(5)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了造成語言變化的外部影響,最著名的例子是世界文化的“美國化”,它導致英語單詞出現(xiàn)在世界各地的城市街道上。這種影響在流行音樂中最為明顯。 (1)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Foreign groups often record in English ??? but only by adding the words 39。o39。clock, four o39。clock rock at the end.”可知文中提到的這個巴西小孩可能本身不太會說英語,但是由于含有這些英語數(shù)字的歌曲不斷重復播放,所以他學會了說這些數(shù)字。故選D。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“In 1977, France passed a law banning the use of English words in official situations if an equivalent( 意義相同的)French expression existed but the law seemed to be honored more in the breaking than in the observing.”可知1977年,法國通過了一項法律,禁止在官方場合使用與法語表達相同的英語詞匯——但這項法律似乎更多地是在打破而不是遵守。故我們可以推測這項法律經(jīng)常被忽視,故選C。 (3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“the potential selling power that the use of English vocabulary can bring以及the excellence implied by the mere use of English”可知,廣告中使用英語能讓人感覺該產(chǎn)品很出色,激發(fā)人們的購買欲。故選D。 (4)考查推理判斷。最后一段中通過“主動結(jié)構(gòu)表達被動意義”和“保留表示復數(shù)的詞尾”兩個例子來說明英語對其他語言的語序或結(jié)構(gòu)也有影響。故選A。 (5)考查推理判斷。文章的敘述主要以第三人稱視角,引用了不同人的觀點和意見,作者本身沒有發(fā)表看法,因此可以推斷作者對于語言轉(zhuǎn)變的態(tài)度是“客觀的”,故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇文化類閱讀,考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。7.閱讀理解 Baths in Japan In many western countries people do not bathe (沐浴) every day. Sometimes they bathe only once a week. Sometimes they bathe two or three times a week. They do not bathe often because the weather is cold or because hot water is expensive. They use electricity or wood to boil the water. Electricity and wood cost a lot of money. In cold countries people usually do not feel they are dirty if they do not have a bath. In Japan people bathe very often. Most people have a bath every day. When the weather is hot they sometimes have two or three baths a day. They bathe in very hot water. Usually the water is almost boiling. They believe that these very hot baths als
