better.That’s nguage is for the exchange of ideas and information.It ’ s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’ t use it freely.Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules ， but they can’ t speak correctly or fluently.They are afraid of making mistakes.One shouldn ’ t be afraid of making mistakes whenspeaking a foreign language.Native speakers make mistakes and break rules， too.Bernard Shaw once wrote ，“ Foreigners_often_speak_English_too_correctly. ” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make.They ’ re English mistakes in the English language.And if enough native speakers break a rule ，it is no longer a rule.What used to be wrong bees right.People not only make history ，they make language.But a people can only make its own language.It can ’ t make another people’ s language.So Chinese students of English shouldpay attention to grammar ，but they shouldn ’t overdo( 做过头 ) it.They should put munication first. 1． According to the passage, language is used to ______.A ． express oneselfB ． practise grammar rulesC． talk with foreigners onlyD ． learn lists of words2． Generally ， when an American or an Englishman speaks English ，he or she ________.A ． never makes mistakesB ． often makes mistakesC． can’ t avoid making mistakesD ． always makes mistakes3． The underlined sentence “ Foreigners often speak English too correctly. ”means that ________.A ． foreigners speak correct EnglishB ． foreigners speak incorrect EnglishC． foreigners speak English according to the grammar rulesD ． foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English4． When we speak a foreign language ， we should ________.A ． speak in Chinese wayB ． speak by the rulesC． speak to native speakersD ． not be afraid of making mistakesBFor me， my great moment came when I actually decided to accept an opportunity to teach English in Shanghai.There were times when I almost gave up because of fear.But in the end Icame here.Last summer ，a Canadian-Chinese woman who teaches in Shanghai just happened to e to theplace where I was working in the Seattle area.We talked and I said I had always wanted to teach abroad.She said，“ e to our school.”“ Okay，” I replied ， but I wasn ’ t sure if I meant it.We met later for coffee.She answered all of my questions about the school，and gave me thewebsite address and the email address of the person to contact.It took six months for me to finally decide on the job.First of all ， in Shanghai there are many western places to eat western food and lots ofinteresting things to do.Also，there is a great subway system with directions and stops posted inEnglish.Finding your way around is a challenge in a new place.But that isn’ t hard here.Taxis arevery cheap； you can always jump in one and get home.There are also a lot of westerners in Shanghai，so it is fairly easy to ask for directions.Young Chinese people are much more likely to speak English and they are wonderfully helpful.I earn almost $1,000 per month and live in a nice rent- free apartment.My biggest expense has been food as I am a vegetarian( 素食者 )and also on a diet.I still have not got used to the traditional Chinese food ，but if you like it ， you’ ll be in heaven.Here I have a good place to live in ，new friends ， a high salary ， and a good job.In the US ，getting a job at my age has been next to impossible for a woman.5． We can infer that at first the writer ________.A ． wasn’ t interested in teaching abroad at allB ． wasn’ t sure whether to accept the job to teach inShanghai C． knew she would be popular as a teacher in ChinaD ． thought the Canadian-Chinese woman was joking6． According to the passage ， it seems that ________.A ． there are no good restaurants for the writer in ShanghaiB ． the writer sometimes feels lonely in ShanghaiC． the writer doesn ’ t like traveling in ShanghaiD ． the writer likes her life in Shanghai7． What does the underlined word “ that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A ． Living in a new place.B ． Dealing with a challenge.C． Finding your way around.D ． Taking a taxi.8． According to the last but one paragraph ， the writer ________.A ． is satisfied with her weightB ． doesn’t have to pay for rentC． doesn’t like eating vegetablesD ． is crazy about the traditional Chinese food答案基础落实Ⅰ .1.A 2.C 3.A 4.D Ⅱ .1.as 2.way 3.onⅢ .1.apart 2.on 3.in

AOffshore English is a term being used by many people for International is the English spoken and written by non­native speakers in international in business are starting to worry that native speakers are actually at a disadvantage in international case study that is quoted is of a contract to provide flight simulators to South Korea，where a French company won the contract because the buyers found it easier to understand the English spoken by the French than the English spoken by the British company.Many native English speakers feel little need to learn foreign languages，so they often lack understanding of the difficulties and problems learners also don't see the need to modify their language for a foreign audience，so they use idioms，synonyms(同义词), phrasal verbs，etc..., without thinking of the impact this might have on a foreign business person.The English studied by non­nativ e speakers tends to use a narrower core means that non­native speakers from different countries and cultures may understand each other more easily than the native speakers native speakers outside the world of ESL teaching have much idea of what non­native learners are taught，and think that as their English is at native speaker level，they speak it better than their non­native unawareness is starting to cause problems that businesses are beginning to identify，and courses in offshore English are now being offered to native speakers in an attempt to train them to speak the kind of English that will make it easier for non­native speakers to understand，enabling them to win more contracts.1．Which of the following statements is true about offshore English?A．It can be spoken by non­native speakers.B．It is used to win more contracts.C．It is difficult to understand.D．It is full of idioms，synonyms，phrasal verbs，etc.答案：A 细节判断题。

Language upon Thames is a school aimed to offer help with language learningB“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I firs t read this sentence from an American friend's email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinese.Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greeting with a ruled English grammar and structure. Later on, after being told it's a standard American greeting. I was too thrilled to believe her. Her words couldn't convince me at all. So I did a research on Google. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing "Long time no see". This sentence has been widely used in emails, letters, movies, newspapers or any other places. Though sort of informal, it is part of the language that American use daily. However, if you type this expression in Microsoft Word, it will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood movie-makers successfully created a famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. De tective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies.Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew(混杂物). All kinds of culture are mixed and they change the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic group in the United States, is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew.You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese, such as pizza form Italian, susi from Japanese. There is a long list! Americans don't just simply borrow something from others. They will modify it and make it their own, so you wouldn't be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant. Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future.55. The writer himself felt surprised at .A. reading “Long time no see”B. knowing the expression is standard American EnglishC. seeing the literal translation of the expressionD. finding out all the Americans use the expression daily56. The word “trademark” underlined probably means .A. design of a manufacture's goodsB. Confucius' s wordsC. Charlie Chan's creationD. representative of Charlie Chan57. According to the passage, it can be inferred that .A. detective like the expression “Long time no see”B. Hollywood made “Long time no see” popularC. the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languagesD. all kinds of culture can be changed in the huge pot of stew58. Which of the following is Not true?A. Informal language sometimes doesn't go with grammar and structure.B. Language in Microsoft system is ruled by grammar and structure.C. “Long time no see” has been used in at least four media mentioned in the passage.D. There are four languages mentioned to be adopted in the American stew.CPeople in Hong Kong speak a rich mixture of languages. Hong Kong was a British colony for more than 156 years before it was returned to Chinese control in 1997. English was the only official language until 1994.Most people in Hong Kong today speak Cantonese, but Mandarin and other dialects also are heard, and English as the British used is still widely spoken and taught here. Now however, many people are choosing to learn English as it is spoken in the United States.Victor Chan, for example, has children who attend school called Nature EQ on Saturday and Sunday, and they are learning to say words the American way. Mr. Chan says he wants his sons to learn American English, because he plans to send them to the United States for further study.Nature EQ is one of a growing number of schools in Hong Kong that offer American English classes. Frankie Ng opened the school 17 years ago, at that time, he had only 40 students. Today, the school has 350 students, and it does not have space for any more.Mr. Ng says American English is clear and defined, he says it is easy to teach and easily understood. That, however, is not the main concern of the children.Public schools in the former British colony still teach mostly British English. But the number of private language schools teaching American English is growing.In Hong Kong's Tseung Kwan O district, for example, the "American English Workshop school" had 20 students a week when it opened one year ago. Today, it has more than 180 each week.Some observers say American English is becoming the language of international business. Increased contact with American culture, like movies, television programs, computer games and the Internet is spreading American expressions and accents in areas other than business.But for now, people hearing English in the streets of Hong Kong are mainly hearing traditional British English."We can understand both, but for what we speak, we speak with the British accent," said one local woman."The British is better I think," commented a local man.59. Which of the following is TRUE about the language spoken in Hong Kong?A. English is still the only official language now.B. British English is still widely spoken and taught at present.C. Most people are learning American English now.D. All people in Hong Kong can speak Cantonese.60. What can we learn from the examples shown in this passage?A. Views are different on American English.B. Not all people like American English.C. American English is becoming more popular.D. American English is better than British English.61. What does the underlined word "it" refer to?A. British English.B. American English.C. American English Workshop school.D. Hong Kong.62. What can we infer from the passage?A. American English and British English will go hand in hand in the future.B. American English will be more popular than British English.C. British accent is clear and easy to study.D. Local people can't understand both of the two kinds of English.DWhile there are certainly many more varieties of English, American and British English are the two varieties that are the most common. Generally, it is agreed that no one version is "correct". However, there are certainly preferences in use. The most important rule of thumb is to try to be consistent in your usage. If you decide that you want to use American English spellings then you should be consistent in your spelling (i.e. The colour of the orange is also its flavour—color is American spelling and flavour is British), this is of course not always easy—or possible. The following guide is meant to point out the principal differences between these two varieties of English.In British English the present perfect is used to express an action that has occurred in the recent past that has an effect on the present moment. For example, I've lost my key. Can you help me look for it? In American English the following is also possible: I lost my key. Can you help me look for it? In British English the above would be considered incorrect. However, both forms are generally accepted in standard American English. Other differences involving the use of the present perfect in British English and simple past in American English include already, just and yet.British English: I've just had lunch./I've already seen that film./Have you finished your homework yet?American English: I just had lunch. Or I've just had lunch./I've already seen that film. Or I already saw that film./Have you finished your homework yet? Or did you finish your homework yet?There are two forms to express possession in English. Have or have got:Do you have a car?/Have you got a car?He hasn't got any friends./He doesn't have any friends.She has a beautiful new home./She's got a beautiful new home.While both forms are correct (and accepted in both British and American English), "have got (have you got, he hasn't got, etc.)" is generally the preferred form in British English while most speakers of American English employ the "have (do you have, he doesn't have etc.)".63. What is the main purpose of author's example "The colour of the orange is also its flavour" (in Paragraph 1)?A. To try to be consistent in your usage.B. To use American English spellings.C. To point out the principal differences.D. To express preferences in English.64. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A. Learning of new words.B. Differences of new words.C. Importance of the present perfect.D. Use of the present perfect.65. Which are the forms to express possession in English?A. Have or have got.B. Have you got or he hasn't got.C. Do you have or he doesn't have.D. Have or do have.66. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. American and British English are the two varieties of the least common.B. An action that has occurred in the recent past is the present perfect.C. In British English "I lost my key. Can you help me look for it?" is wrong.D. Most speakers of American English always prefer to use the "have got". 答案一、适当形式填空(单句适当形式)1. convinced2. have been complaining3. acquiring4. approval5. offend二、单词拼写(根据中文提示拼写单词)6. dialect7. ancestors8. debate9. media10. revolution11. splendid12. dilemma13. convey14. abused15. conflict三、单项选择16.

There were very few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.Today things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, human life on the earth will not survive.Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on land. Yet, we continue to use more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees.We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in most countries waste is still put into rivers, but there are few laws to stop this.We also know that if the population of the countries in the world is to rise at the present rate in a few years, there will not be enough food.What can we do to solve these problems?If we eat more vegetables and less meat, there will be more food available for everyone. Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept.Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycle them.The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.Finally, if all of us think about the problem, we will have a better and cleaner planet in the future.36. This passage mainly tells us about ______.A. the problems we are facing today about environment and the ways to solve themB. the unlimited natural resources in the worldC. our rivers are being polluted by waste from factoriesD. the ways early man protected the environment37. Which of the following is NOT true?A. If we eat more vegetables, more food can be saved.B. In the past, there was no need for people to think about environmental protection.C. If we keep on cutting trees, forests will disappear.D. W e shouldn’t take more and more fish out of the sea, or there will soon be no fish left.38. What is implied (暗示) in the passage?A. Man is cleverer than any other animal.B. Man will destroy himself if he doesn’t solve the problem.C. Modern fishing methods are helpful in our fishing industry.D. We should make more laws in order to survive.39. From the passage we can see that the world’s natural resources ______.A. will never be used upB. are being pollutedC. are as plentiful as in the pastD. are being used up very quicklyB“Sesame Street” has been called “the longest street in the world.” That is because the television program can be seen in so many parts of the world. That program became one of America’s exports soon after it was shown in New York in 1969.In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. Although some people do not agree to some parts of the program, parents praise it highly.Tests have shown that children have learned much from watching “Sesame Street”. The children who watch it five times a week learn more than those who watch it less. In the United States the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.The programs use songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships.Why has “Sesame Street” been so much more successful than other children’s shows? Many reasons have been suggested, such as the educational theories of its producers, the support from both the government and businessmen, and the full use of various kinds of television skills. Perhaps another important reason is that mothers watch “Sesame Street” together with their children. Th is is partly because famous film stars often appear on “Sesame Street”. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.40. Th e “Sesame Street” has been called “the longest street in the world” because it is ______.A. the longest street in the United StatesB. shown in many countriesC. the longest television program in the worldD. watched regularly by six million children41. In the United States many children can watch the program regularly because ______.A. they needn’t go to schoolB. it is shown many hours a dayC. it is shown in the eveningD. it is shown many times during the week42. One of the important reasons for the success of the program is that ______.A. not only children but also their mothers like to watch itB. many famous film stars enjoy watching itC. it teaches educational theoriesD. it is produced by the governmentCArabs consider it extremely bad manners to start talking business immediately. Even the busiest government official always takes extra（额外的）time to be polite and offer refreshments. No matter how busy you are, you should make time for this.The conference visit is a way of doing business throughout the Arab world. Frequently, you will have to discuss your business in the presence of strangers, who may or may not have anything to do with your business. Do not be surprised if your meeting is interrupted several times by people who come into the room unannounced, whisper, or speak softly to the person with whom you are talking, and leave.Making decisions quickly is not an Arab custom. There is vagueness in doing business in the Middle East which will puzzle a new-comer. Give yourself lots of time and ask them lots of questions.When an Arab says “yes”, he may mean “maybe”. When he says “maybe”, he probably means “no”. You will seldom get a direct “no” from an Arab because it is considered impolite. Instead of “no”, he will say “inshallah”, which means “if God is willing.” On the other hand, “yes” does not necessarily mean “yes”. A smile and a slow nod might seem like an agreement, but in fact, your host is being polite. An Arab thinks that it is impolite to disagree with a guest.43. The main purpose of this article is to explain ______. A. why you need extra time when you visit Arab countriesB. how to be polite when doing business in the Arab worldC. why Arab officials are so busyD. what Arabs say when doing business44. From this article we know that ______.A. when an Arab wants to say “yes”, he often says “maybe”B. an Arab seldom disagrees with a guest to his faceC. when an Arab agrees, a smile and a slow nod will be givenD. “inshallah” is an English word45. Which of the following is NOT an Arab custom?A. To dislike being interrupted during their meeting.B. Often to give you a vague answer.C. Seldom to say “no” directly.D. Seldom to hesitate to start talking business in the presence of strangers.第四节单句改错（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）46. I asked Tom if he is from the United States._____________________________________________47.
