英美国家概况相关问题及答案
Midterm Homework1. What is the concept of World Englishes? What are the three concentric circles of the language according to Kachru? Which circle is the most important in your eyes? Why?①World Englishes refers to English-based creoles developed in different regions of the world and the emergence of localised or indigenised varieties of English, especially varieties that have developed in nations colonised by Great Britain or influenced by the United States.②The inner circle represents the traditional bases of English. The outer circle, which includes countries where English is not the native tongue, but is important for historical reasons and plays a part in the nation's institutions, either as an official language or otherwise. the expanding circle encompasses those countries where English plays no historical or governmental role, but where it is nevertheless widely used as a foreign language or lingua franca.③I think the inner circle is the most important in my eyes. Because the inner circle (UK, US,etc.) is 'norm-providing'. That means that English language norms are developed in these countries - English is the first language there.2. Is Hong Kong English a branch of World Englishes referring to the five criteria of World Englishes by Butler? Why?Hong Kong English is a branch of World Englishes referring to the five criteria of World Englishes by Butler.Reasons:⑴Hong Kong English has a standard and recognizable pronunciation handed down from one generation to another. ⑵It has particular words and phrases which spring up usually to express key features of the physical and social environment and which are regarded as peculiar to the variety.⑶It has a history-a sense that this variety of English is the way it is because of the history of the language community.⑷There is a literature written of Hong Kong English without apology in that variety of English.⑸Reference works, e. g: dictionaries and style guides, which show that people in that language community look to themselves, not some outside authority but to decide what is right and wrong in terms of how they speak and write their English.In conclusion, Hong Kong English meet the standards of the five criteria of World Englishes by Butler.3. What are the differences between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland in general?Northern Ireland is a province of the UK, while the Republic of Ireland is anindependent nation in its own right. The area covering the Republic of Ireland is 5 times of that of Northern Ireland. Most of the people in Northern Ireland are Protestants while the majority of the people in the Republic are Catholics.4. Is Fiscal/budget Deficit good or bad for economy? Take America as an example.①Fiscal/budget deficit does not necessarily mean a bad issue for the economy, if the money that Government has borrowed is used to increase the production which in turn contains any inflationary pressure. However, a large and persistent fiscal deficit can be a sign of worry. It indicates that the Government is spending money on unproductive programmes which do not increases economic productivity. High fiscal deficit significantly increases the chances of inflation in the economy which is an invisible tax on the individual.②Now the American deficit fell quite a bit in 2013. With the strong economic growth and rising incomes, fiscal deficit gets relieved.5. What are the Social Returns of education according to Educational Economics? According to Educational Economics, the explanation of Social Returns of education are as follows.First,spillover or externality impacts more degreed individuals in a regional economy.Positive feedback loops put the region on a faster growth track.Second,there are non-monetized bebefits-- less crime, more civic participation, lower dependence on safety nets, better health outcomes, more charitable giving.6. Please list three American films of 2013 that impressed you and explain which American film in 2013 is the most successful in terms of your taste? What makes the success of the film?①Pacific Rim②Despicable Me 2③White House DownIn terms of my taste, I hold the view that Despicable Me 2 is the most successful American film in 2013. Despicable Me 2 is a 2013American 3D computer-animated action comedy film and the sequel to the 2010 animated film Despicable Me. Its plots and scores do attract me.This film is extremely funny and cute.I think the minions make the success of the film. They are so hilarious that they are my favorite roles.。

仅佛罗里达半岛南端属热带；阿拉斯加州位于北纬60至70度之间，属北极圈内的寒冷气候区；夏威夷州位于北回归线以南，属热带。
由于幅员辽阔，地形复杂，并受不同气流的影响，各地的气候差别很大：当佛罗里达半岛已是百花齐放的季节时，北部的五大湖区还处于寒冷之中。
东南部属亚热带季风性湿润气候东北部沿海和五大湖地区属温带大陆性气候，中部中央平原的气候基本上也属温带大陆性气候，冬季寒冷，夏季炎热，气温较高，湿度大太平洋沿岸北部属温带海洋性气候区，冬暖夏凉，雨量充沛，1月份平均气温在4℃以上，8月份平均气温不越过22℃。
年平均降水量为1300毫米-1500毫米。
干燥的西部高原的年温差高达25℃，山岳地区山势越高气候越低美国的气候条件比较优越，大部分地区有利于农作物的生长。

其中美国黑人、拉美裔和亚裔等少数族裔总人口已达到1.007亿2、莎士比亚，英国文艺复兴时期伟大的剧作家、诗人，欧洲文艺复兴时期人文主义文学的集大成者。
莎士比亚的代表作有四大悲剧：《哈姆雷特》（英：Hamlet）、《奥赛罗》（英：Othello）、《李尔王》（英：King Lear）、（英：Mac Beth）。
