第1题

As we have seen, there is nothing about language as such that makes linguistic identity
coextensive with national identity. "If he speaks French, he is by any means necessarily French." French is【M1】______ not the private property of Frenchmen, as English of English【M2】______ people. This should be obvious when one reflects that English is the mother-tongue in Canada, the United States, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and many other areas of the world. Yet many of us still half-consciously feel that when anyone no other than an【M3】______ Englishman uses English, we have a special right to criticise his usage because he has privileged to handle something that is in the【M4】______ Englishmans gift. We feel that he must necessarily look us for a【M5】______ "standard", because it is "our" language. It is reasonable to regard【M6】______ any language as the property of a particular nation,and with no language is it more irrational than with English. This is not to say that English is used by a great number of speakers than any other【M7】______ language: it is easily outnumbered in this respect with Chinese. Whereas it is the most international of languages.【M8】______ To people in Africa or Pakistan or Chile, English is the obvious foreign language to master, not merely because it is the native language in Great Britain and the United States, but because it provides a readiest access to the cream of world scholarship and to【M9】______ the bulk of world trade. It is understanding more widely than any【M10】______ other language.

第2题

For any Englishman there can never be any discussion as to who is the world's g
reatest writer. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him:that of William Shakespeare.

Every Englishman has some knowledge of his work. All of us use words and phrases from Shakespeare's writings that have become a part of the English-speaking people.

Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand!

There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare's day.

1). From the first two sentences of the passage we can conclude that ________.

A. it can't be discussed about who is the world's greatest dramatist

B. Shakespeare is regarded as the greatest writer

C. Englishmen like to discuss about who is the world's greatest writer

D. it can't be discussed about who is the world's greatest poet

2). According to the passage many English words and phrases that we use today are from _____.

A. Englishmen

B. English speaking people

C. Shakespeare's works

D. ancient people

3). To learn the richness of the English language, people should ______.

A. write and read more

B. be glad to be a foreigner

C. learn from an English man

D. read Shakespeare's plays

4). The author does not suggest beginners reading Shakespeare's plays probably because _____.

A. only Englishmen can understand his plays

B. some of English usage and the meaning of many words have changed

C. the works are too difficult for a beginner

D. the works are for native speakers

5). In this passage the author wants to _______.

A. tell how great a writer Shakespeare is

B. tell that some aspects of English usage have changed since Shakespeare's day

C. tell that some English words are out of use now

D. show the richness of English language
