When Will Smart Technology Be Used?CEnglish is an important global language-but that doesn't mean it's easy to learn. Many experts have tried to make English easier for students to learn, but they weren't always successful.In 1930, Professor C. K. Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English. It had only850 words (and just 18 verbs!), and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours. The problem was that those people who learned Basic English could write and say simple message s, but they couldn't understand the answers in "real" English! It was also difficult to ex pla in a word which wasn't in the Basic English word list. If you wanted a waterm e lon(西瓜), you asked for “a large g reenfruit with the form of an egg, which has a sweet red inside and a good taste.”R. E. Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling, so he invented a language called Anglic. Anglic was similar to English but with much simpler spelling. "Father" became "faadher", "new" became "nue", and" years" became "yeerz". Sadly, Anglic never became popular.Even easier is the language which ships' captains use: it's called "Sea speak". It uses a few simple phrases for every possible situation. In "Sea speak", for example, you don't say "I'm sorry, what did you say?" or "I didn't understand. Can you repeat that?" ... it's just "Say again." No more grammar!In the age of computers and international communication through the Internet, a new form of English might appear. A large number of the world's e-mail messages are in English and indicate examples of Net Lingo like O.I.C. (Oh, I see!) and T.T.Y.L. (Talk to you later). In another fifty years English as we know it might not exist. We will probably all speak fluent Internetish!49. What did Professor C. K. Ogden invent?A. Basic English.B. Anglic.C. Seaspeak.D. NetLingo.50. R. E. Zachrisson invented Anglic to solve the problem of __ _A. listeningB. speakingC. spellingD. reading51. In "Sea speak", what do people say "I didn't understand. Can you repeat that?"A. Faadher.B. Say again.C. O.I.C.D. Talk to you later.52. What is the passage mainly about?A. Why English has become popular.B. What English has brought to people.C. Where people have used English widely.D. How people have tried to make English easier.DUngraded question, posted by Instructor, Dr GreenIn next week's lecture, we will be discussing identity. Social experts suggest that we have three basic types of identity. First, your given identity includes your gender(性别), your birthplace, and your age. These are aspects of identity that are almost impossible to change. Second is your chosen identity, groups you choose to become a part of. Chosen identity can include your beliefs, your professions(职业), or your community organizations. Finally, your core identity is what makes you unique. Yourbehaviors, personality, values, and skills are all part of your core identity. Before Monday's lecture, post a short reply to this question.QUESTION: How has your identity changed in the last few years, including the three aspects of identity?Posted by Ali K.When I started high school, I thought that I knew exactly who I was and where I washeaded. I was a star soccer player, and my entire identity was soccer- I lived it and breathed it. This was my chosen identity. Everything changed when I had a terrible knee injury during my second year. After several months, it was clear that I wouldn't be able to play soccer competitively again. I felt really sad when I had to quit the team, and I was very unhappy. Slowly I started to see that I was still the same person on the inside. I was still a very hard-working person, someone who didn't easily give up, and someone who loved being on a team. These were part of my core identity. I had to rediscover my values (hard work and competition) to get me through this hard time. I've been developing a new sense of identity. Although I've had to change part of my chosen identity, I now understand that my core identity (who I am inside) is the most important for me.Posted by Paul S.Like Ali, I had a very hard time in high school. I felt like my parents didn't○1____They didn't think I was trustworthy, and I admit that sometimes I didn't make greatchoices. But my parents are part of my given identity, and therefore they are very important in my life. During high school, my chosen identity was the group of○2___ However, some friends were influencing me in bad ways. I felt really lost and unhappy with my life. Later, when I started at the university in my city, I decided to find some new friends. ○3___ Now I can realize the changes in me and feel more comfortable around my parents' because they respect ○4____It is important to remember that your ch9sen identity is not who you are. You can make other choices, and change your life.53. Which of the following belongs to your given identity?A. Professions.B. Behaviors.C. Personality.D. 'Birthplace.54. Why did Ali change part of his chosen identity?A. He lost interest in sport at school.B. He found a new sense of identity.C. He injured his knee playing soccer.D. He followed his teammates' advice.55. Where should the following sentence be put?"I've connected with friends who better understand my family background and my value. "A. ○1B. ○2C. ○3D.○456. What kind of passage is it?A. A blog.B. A po s t e r.C. A news report.D. A book r e view.第二节: 阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。

Language experts, however, will tell you that you’re never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practice as much as young children do.Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.When young children learn a new language, they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society. This mindset(思维模式) helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling like they’re doing something unusual or “too hard”.So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It’s never too late to learn a new language. If you’re older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If you’r e a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language!42、By “language is their life”, the author means that children ______.A.can’ t live without languageB.lead a happy life every dayC.practice a new language a lotD.are taken good care of adults43、What may make it hard for the old people to learn to a new language?A.They are afraid of being laughed atB.They usually have too many interestsC.They think making mistakes is naturalD.They always make all kinds of mistakes44、Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in learning a new language?A.The behaviors they haveB.The learning attitudesC.The future plans they have madeD.The materials they are using45、According to the author, a new language______.A.can never be learned by the old peopleB.can be grasped by the old people easilyC.can be understood only by the old peopleD.can be learned by both the old and the youngJohn H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.Luckily, he had strong-willed (意志坚强的), caring mother. John remembers that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe. She told him not to be dependent on (依靠) others, including his mother. “You have to earn success,” said she. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those w ho work hard.”These words came from a woman less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work don’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son—then 15—to Chicago.Chicago in1933 was not the promised land (乐土、希望之地) that black southerners were looking for, John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But there John could go to school, and there he learned the power of words—as editor of the newspaper and yearbook of Du Stable High School. His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.While others discouraged (阻止、使气馁) him, John’s mother offered him more words具) to get the $500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.It is natural the difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mother’s words in mind. “Son, failure is not in your vocabulary.”Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America—worth $150 million.46、Why did John’s mother decide to move to Chicago? Because ________.A.

But the number who take part in sport is quite small. On the whole，English people prefer to be fat rather than thin.The most popular sport in England is football. Football is played on Saturday afternoon in most towns and the supporters of a certain team will travel from one end of the country to the other to see their team play. There are four divisions(级别) of the football league. Not surprisingly，the best teams are in the first division. But the best supporters are often in the fourth division. You have to be a good supporter to watch the fourth division football!Many other sports are also played in England，such as golf，in which you try to knock a ball into a hole；basketball，in which you try to get a ball through a net；tennis，in which you try to hit a ball so that your opponent(对手)cannot hit it.

My main goal was to relax in preparation for the challenges of my retirement in the coming year.Through my stay in Montreal，I met lots of Chinese who are struggling to succeed and then lead a better life in Canada. Some travelled thousands of miles to get knowledge. When I spoke with some of them about the major barrier they had to face after they arrived in Canada, they all talked about the two official languages of Canada. But I was impressed by their ability to express their ideas while switching between English and French.Almost all of those people said they often felt homesick. They miss their families and friends. Though Montreal has lots of Chinese restaurants，they long for a home-cooked meal.I met some tourists who were t rying to realize their childhood dreams of experiencing the life in a developed country. When I asked them if Montreal had lived up to their expectations they hesitated. They said that reality never agrees with fantasies. However, they were glad to have the opportunity to visit Montreal and didn’t regret taking the trip.。
