English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary—perhaps as many as two million words.

However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no eggs in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes ( 探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.

And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don't groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural(复数形式) of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of booth be teeth? One goose, two geese—so one moose, two meese?

How can a slim chance and a flat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects( 反映) the creativity of human beings. That’ why, when stars are invisible. And why , when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.

1.According to the passage ______.

A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things

B. there should be an egg in an eggplant

C. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree

D. boxing rings should be round

2.Which of the following is the correct plural?

  A. Beeth   B. Greese   C. Meese  D. Tooth

3.Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?

  A. A wise man and a wise guy    B. Overlook and oversee

  C. Quite a lot and quite a few.  D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.

4.The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “___”.

   A. blow   B. roll up   C. get hurt   D. finish

5.Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are _______.

A. clever   B. crazy   C. lazy   D. dull

  It is a problem that is noticed by language teachers and students.

  Mr Kevin Huang Xi, 23, an English major at the Beijing University of Technology who graduated this year with a bachelor’s degree(学士学位), feels it in his daily usage of the Chinese language.

  Part of the debate(讨论)was whether there was a need to learn so much English, as it was not useful locally in some instances, he said.

  What is more, because of a lack(缺乏)of an environment for learning English in most places, the result of hard work by the students is often not good.Kindergartens have started teaching English, showing that demand is high for English-language training from an early age.In Shanghai, for example, about a fifth of kindergartens offer English-language lessons.

  Earlier this year, some kindergartens even advertised themselves as English-only, improving the Shanghai education authorities(当局)to step in.The education commission(委员会)made it clear that “the mother tongue is still the basis for teaching in kindergartens”.The wish for English learning and the effects on the Chinese language have come to the notice of the state education authorities.

  Also, usage of putonghua would grow as China developed as a market economy and literal exchanges(交流)increased, thus boosting demand for a common language.At the same time, the government has in recent years also strengthened measures to popularise(普及)putonghua, writing into law for the first time in 2001 the status of putonghua and Chinese script(描述)as the “national common language”.

  “The final result most possibly is that the market for putonghua will continue to grow bigger while that for dialects will come down, but it can’t be helped, it’s a social trend(潮流), ”someone said.

  They will finally be kept in museums as history and as research material and research objects for language scholars, someone added.

[问题导入]How do you think about“Putonghua and English language”?

________

  A senior teacher’s view:Putonghua or Chinese language is more important than English language now in the world.

  A boss’s view:English is the most widely used in the world and is the threat to Chinese Language.

  A villager’s view:The dialect should be developed and kept the local land lively.

  A teenager’s view:English is left out and it is our native language.

  An editor’s view:We must develop English, Chinese language and putonghua, in this way we can communicate with each other, and people perhaps can understand each other and get rid of trouble.

  Two out of three teenagers in Britain have a desire to work abroad but most of them don't speak foreign languages.Government figures show that 58% of 11-18-year-olds in the UK have no foreign language skills, and this has a negative effect on the economy.Tom Burridge reports:

  Fact or fiction? Most British people are lazy when it comes to learning a foreign language.

  VOX POPS(公众舆论):

  -Fact.

  -Why do you say that?

  -Because we don’t need to.Because everybody else speaks English.

  -Foreigners make it too easy for you because they speak English when you’re abroad.

  Those views on the streets of London are backed up by figures out this week.The British Government found that 58%of 11-18-year-olds in the UK do not speak a second language.However,two thirds of teenagers in Britain want to work abroad when they’re older-the countries of choice being Italy, Spain, France or China.The British Government admits there is a problem-that not enough young people continue learning a second language when they leave school.Teresa Tinley from the country national centre of languages says it has serious effects on the economy:We are in competitive global market and we need to be able to speak to our customers and our potential customers.Our trade is very much linked towards English-speaking countries.Our research shows that our exports are suffering.

  The research is seen as further evidence that most young people guess they can get by in a foreign country by speaking English-something the authorities in London want to change.

(1)

[  ]

A.

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.

  However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.

  We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.

  And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?

  How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?

  English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.

56. Which of the following is the correct plural (复数形式) form?

A. Beeth.    B. Meese.      C. Geese.    D. Tooth.

57. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?

A. Quite a lot and quite a few.        B. Overlook and oversee. 

C. A wise man and a wise guy.           D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.

58. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.

A. lazy       B. crazy        C. clever    D. stupid

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.

However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes(探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,  public bathrooms have no baths in them.

And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects(反映)the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible(能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.

51.According to the passage                .

A.sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things

B.there should be egg in an eggplant

C.pineapples are the apples on the pine tree

D.boxing rings should be round

A.Beeth.     B.Geese.     C.Meese.     D.Tooth.

C.Quite a lot and quite a few.             D.Hot as hell and cold as hell.

54.The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “                ”.

A.blow            B.roll up            C.get hurt            D.finish

55.Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are                .
