A
Do you ever wonder why the English have one word for so me animals and a different one for their meat?
Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep an d mutton?
To find out, we have to go back to 1066, when the Norman Fr ench invaded England and put a French king on the Engli sh throne (王
位), which not only changed the government but also changed
the language. French became the language of the upper clas ses of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only th ese high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc（pork）
and beouf （beef） came into the English language. However , poor English farmers raised the animals. So the English lang uage retained the words pig and cow from the Native Anglo-Saxon．
The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to t he English language. Seventy-
five percent of them are still in use today.
According to language experts, English speakers who have never studied French may already know 15,000 French words ! Between one-third and two-
thirds of all English words have French origins. Some words s uch as “possible” and “avenue” are the same in French and E nglish; only the pronunciations change. Other words such as “ballet” keep their French pronunciations in both languages. In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female ge nder (性
别), so adjectives take different forms for each. English has o nly one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The word “blond” describes someone with light-
colored hair. “Blond” is used for men, and “blonde” describes
women. And they are also nouns.
Some French words that entered the English language have completely different meanings. The French phrase “a la mod e” means “in style”. In English, the phrase means “with the ice cream”. Someone must have decided something eaten with i ce cream was in style!
Now, as you learn English, you’re on your way to learning Fre nch!
21. French was once popular among the upper classes of the because __________.
A. too many French moved to
B. French brought animals with t hem
C. the king and his officials spok e French
D. the king allowed French to be spoken
22. Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn?
A. Because English and French share similar pronunciations.
B. Because English grammar and French grammar are similar.
C. Because a large number of English words have French origins.
D. Because English has great influences on the French language.
23. What conclusion can we draw from the text?
A. Language is closely related to history and culture.
B. French and English words have little in common.
C. Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.
D. French combines English and the Native Anglo-Saxon.
