高中英语话题导入(Module4LanguagesoftheWorld)教学素材外研版选修9
Module 4 Languages of the World话题导入语言是人类特有的和最重要的交流工具，是人类区别于动物的重要标志之一，也是人类划分为不同民族的主要依据。
语言同民族的关系十分密切，它是民族的四要素之一。
背景知识英语是怎样成为世界通用语言的？一百多年前，一位波兰人以超人的智慧和满腔的热情发明了超越民族界线的世界通用语言——世界语，希望世界上的各民族将来使用同一种语言，促进各民族的文化和经济交流，消除民族间的猜疑和敌意，实现和保持地球上各善良民族渴望的和平。
一百多年过去了，世界语没有成为世界通用的语言，甚至被人遗忘。
与此形成对照，一个曾经是民族语言的英语却被越来越多的国家和人民使用，在国际间的经济、文化、学术，军事和政治交流中成为通用的语言。
在今天，世界上以英语为母语的国家有十余个，包括美国、加拿大、英国、爱尔兰、澳大利亚、新西兰、南非和几个加勒比国家。
以英语为官方语言的国家超过七十个，其中包括尼日利亚、加纳、印度和新加坡，这个数字目前还在增加。
如1996年，卢旺达宣布给予英语国家官方语言地位。
在各国的外语教学中，英语享有的优先地位超过法语、德语、俄语、西班牙语和汉语，在100多个国家中，英语被列为外语教学中的第一外语，还有更多的国家准备将英语列为外语教学中的第一外语。
一个具有象征意义的例子是：1996年，曾为法国殖民地的阿尔及利亚开始用英语取代法语作为外语教学中的第一外语。
据统计，90年代后期世界上有近四分之一的人口，即12至15亿人能讲流利的英语或能熟练使用英语。
这个数字超过了中国11亿能使用汉语的人口数字。
现在，在世界五大洲均有讲英语的国家和人民。
在国际交往中，英语的地位更是其他语言望尘莫及的。
英语正在成为或已经成为世界通用的语言。
引入型阅读Endangered languagesWhat is an endangered language?Endangered languages are languages that are on the brink of extinction,much like endangered species of plants or nguages are considered to be nearly extinct when only a few elderly speakers are still living.The world faces enormous challenges in maintaining language diversity(多样性).Of the more than 6800 languages,half may be in danger of disappearing in the next several decades.And at least 10% of the world’s living languages are now spoken by fewer than 100 people.Why do languages die?Some of the forces that contribute to language loss are the impact of urbanization(都市化)，Westernization,global communication,discrimination,war,disease,hunger and population movements.These forces diminish the self-sufficiency(自负)and self-confidence of small and traditional communities.As a result,parents do not pass their language to their children because they feel that speaking the majority language better equips their children for success in the majority culture than speaking their own language.Why try to preserve endangered languages?Wouldn’t the world be simpler if there were fewer languages?Why care if languages die out?The truth is that a people’s identity and culture are closely tied to their language.Each language is unique.No one knows what riches may be hidden within an endangered language.We may never learn about the cultures whose languages have disappeared.We all share the responsibility of ensuring that no language will disappear and that as manylanguages as possible will be maintained and handed to future generations.Fill in the blanks:1.The world now has________ languages, ________of which are in danger,and at least ________ of them only have less than ________ native speakers.答案：1.more than 6800;half;10%;1002.Urbanization,Westernization,global communication,________,war, ________,________and population movements lead to the disappearing of languages.答案：discrimination;disease;hunger3.We can learn about a ________ and ________through its language.答案：people’s identity;culture课前导引一、词汇扫描根据句意及各题后括号中所给的汉语意思，从下面的方框中选择合适的单词或词组，用其适当形式填空。

角顿市安康阳光实验学校Module 4 Languages of the World(满分：120分；时间：100分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)A(2016·八校高三第一次联考)We do not usually think about how our language works.Talking is such a natural，everyday activity that we do not often stop to consider how it actually works.When we do study our language，though，we are often surprised that we are able to understand our conversations.Words can mean so many different things.However, it turns out that the speaking situation helps a lot in making language work.First，the speaking situation helps make words more particular.For example，the word “dog” can describe a dog that a speaker saw in a dream.It can also be used to discuss a neighbor's dog.No language has a separate word for the idea “dog that I saw yesterday” and another word for the idea “dog that I saw in a dream”．This is because the speaking situation makes it clear what speakers mean when they use words.So，when you have a conversation with your neighbor, the knowledge that you have a dog tells your neighbor what the word “dog” probably means in that situation.The speaking situation also helps make language clearer.For example，the word “bank” has two possible meanings.It can mean “a place where people keep money” ，but it can also mean “the side of a river”．So the sentence “I went to the bank” is not clear.It could mean I went to the side of the river or it could mean I went to the place where my money is kept.However，if the speaker is talking about fishing or going to the mountains，others probably know that “bank” means “the side of a river”．The things that speakers say may not always be clear.Sometimes the words are not very particular，but the speaking situation can provide the meaning.Other times words may have many meanings.Then the speaking situation limits the right meaning.This extra knowledge from the situation is very important to understand language.【语篇解读】本文讲述了语境对语言的理解起着很大作用。

Word OriginsInfluences in English V ocabularyOne of the consequences of the French influence is that the vocabulary of English is, to a certain extent, divided between those words which are Germanic (mostly Old English) and those which are "Latinate" (Latin-derived, either directly from Norman French or other Romance languages).Numerous sets of statistics have been proposed to demonstrate the various origins of English vocabulary. None, as yet, are considered definitive by a majority of linguists.A computerised survey of about 80,000 words in the old Shorter Oxford Dictionary (3rd ed.) was published in Ordered Profusion by Thomas Finkenstaedt and Dieter Wolff (1973) that estimated the origin of English words as follows:Langue d'o?l, including French and Old Norman: %Latin, including modern scientific and technical Latin: %Other Germanic languages (including words directly inherited from Old English): 25%Greek: %No etymology given: %Derived from proper names: %All other languages contributed less than 1% . Arabic-English loanwords )A survey by Joseph M. Williams in Origins of the English Language of 10,000 words taken from several thousand business letters gave this set of statistics:French (langue d'o?l), 41%"Native" English, 33%Latin, 15%Danish, 2%Dutch, 1%Other, 10%Other estimates have also been made:French, 40%Greek, 13%Anglo-Saxon (Old English), 10%Danish, 2%Dutch, 1%And, as about 50% of English is derived from Latin--directly or otherwise-- another10 to 15% can be attributed to direct borrowings from that language.However, 83% of the 1,000 most-common English words are Anglo-Saxon in origin.Dutch originsWords describing the navy, types of ships, and other objects or activities on the water are often from Dutch origin. Yacht (Jacht) and cruiser (kruiser) are examples.French originsThere are many words of French origin in English, such as competition, art, table, publicity, police, role, routine, machine, force, and many others that have been and are being anglicised; they are now pronounced according to English rules of phonology, rather than French. A large portion of English vocabulary is of French or Oil language origin, most derived from, or transmitted via, the Anglo-Norman spoken by the upper classes in England for several hundred years after the Norman Conquest.。

Module 4 Languages of the WorldEndangered languagesWhat is an endangered language?Endangered languages are languages that are on the brink of extinction, much like endangered species of plants ornguages are considered to be nearly extinct when only a few elderly speakers are still living.The world faces enormous challenges in maintaining language diversity(多样性)．Of the more than 6,800 languages, half may be in danger of disappearing in the next several decades.And at least 10% of the world's living languages are now spoken by fewer than 100 people.Why do languages die?Some of the forces that contribute to language loss are the impact of urbanization(都市化)，Westernization, global communication, discrimination, war, disease, hunger and population movements.These forces diminish the selfsufficiency(自负) and selfconfidence of small and traditional communities.As a result, parents do not pass their language to their children because they feel that speaking the majority language better equips their children for success in the majority culture than speaking their own language.Why try to preserve endangered languages?Wouldn't the world be simpler if there were fewer languages? Why care if languages die out? The truth is that a people's identity and culture are closely tied to their language.Each language is unique.No one knows what riches may be hidden within an endangered language.We may never learn about the cultures whose languages have disappeared.We all share the responsibility of ensuring that no language will disappear and that as many languages as possible will be maintained and handed to future generations.1．The world now has________languages，________of which are in danger, and atleast________of them only have less than________native speakers.2．Urbanization, Westernization, global communication，________， war，________，________and population movements lead to the disappearing of languages.3．We can learn about a________and________through its language.【答案】 1.more than 6,800；half；10%；1002．discrimination；disease；hunger 3.people's identity；culture。
