As a young adult, Noah Webster was a teacher. At that time, the colonies were fighting for independence from Britain. Yet the books that American children used in school all came from Britain. The books were all about British people and British places. Webster wanted books that would mean more to American children. So he wrote three books that used American examples—a grammar book, a spelling book, and a reader. These books were very popular, and millions of them were sold. Webster was interested in changing the spellings of words. He wanted words to be spelled the way they were pronounced. For example, he thought the word “head” should be spelled “hed”， and the word “laugh” should be spelled “laf”. People liked Webster's suggestions. However, few words were actually changed. One group of words that were changed were words in which an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”. That is why Americans write “color” and “labor”, and the British write “colour” and “labour”. With the money he made from his books, Webster was able to write. It was the first American English dictionary, published in 1828.Webster's dictionary had over 70，000 words and gave the meaning and origin of each. To this day, Webster's work is the example that most dictionaries of American English follow. 【1】What was Noah Webster when he was young? A.A writer. B.A teacher. C.A painter.

C.Because there were not enough books in the market. D.Because he had to borrow books from Britain when he was a student. 【3】What can we learn from paragraph 3? A.Webster spoke English in a different way. B.American people didn't like speaking English. C.Webster was good at correcting mistakes in textbooks. D.American people didn't write English as exactly as English people did. 【4】What is Noah Webster famous for in American history? A.His teaching methods. B.His dictionary. C.His fighting for freedom.

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily, but truly can't manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for pure business matters. So accept their hospitality at home! 【1】Where are we expected to call our American friends if we go there by plane? A.On the bus. B.At the airport. C.Near their home. D.At our own hotel. 【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives. B.Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy. C.Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break. D.Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families. 【3】Which is the typical(典型的)way of American hospitality? A.Treating friends at home. B.Sharing everything they have. C.Taking days off to be with friends. D.Meeting friends at the airport at midnight. 【4】What's the best title for the text? A.Americans' hospitality. B.The mobility of Americans. C.Friendships between Chinese. D.Americans' views of friendships. 【5】In which part of a newspaper can this article be found? A.Culture. B.News. C.Story. D.Travel |

English is a very interesting language. It has borrowed words from many other languages. Immigrants (移民) coming into the United States have contributed many words to the language, which have kept their original pronunciation. “Coolie” and “kowtow” were taken from the Chinese language, “kamikaze” from the Japanese, “shampoo” from India, “blitz” from German, “amigo” and “Los Angeles” from Spanish and so on. Many students have studied English for years, some as many as eight. However, some students still have difficulty in speaking fluent English. Some know many words, but are unable to discern them when native speakers use them. In our oral English classes we will focus on speaking and listening to native English speakers. For this reason, because we are trying to train your ears to hear English and your mouths to speak intelligible (易理解的) English, we will have a rule that ONLY ENGLISH will be spoken in our English classes. Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay a fine (罚款) in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of English. If teachers enter a classroom and discover that anyone is speaking Chinese, they will require everyone in the room to pay the fine. It is everyone's job to enforce the EnglishOnly rule. It is for your benefit. It is because we want to accustom (使习惯于) your ears to hearing English. Other subjects may be learned only from books but the only way to learn a foreign language is to SPEAK IT! Students are often nervous about speaking in class at first but we hope to make the classes fun, so you will forget your nervousness and learn to speak out. Enjoy your classes. 【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about? A.The difficulty of learning English. B.Different words in different languages. C.How interesting and different English is. D.The immigrants' contributions to America. 【2】What does the underlined word “discern” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.notice B.understand C.hear D.speak 【3】Why is the EnglishOnly rule made? A.To benefit the teachers. B.To make the English class more colourful. C.To require everyone in the room to pay the fine. D.To improve the students' abilities of using English. 【4】What does the writer think is the only way to learn a language well? A.Speak it often. B.Learn it from books. C.Listen to it on the radio. D.Play games with it. 【5】Who is the text aimed at? A.Japanese students B.German students C.Chinese students D.Indian students |
