One billion people are learning it and it is said that by 2050, half of the world's population will be using it. What are we talking about? That global language—English.The English language started in Britain in the 5th century. It is a mixed language. It was built up when German. Scandinavian and French invaders settled in England and created a common language for communication.Today it is the official language of the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada,South Africa and Ireland as well as many islands in the Caribbean . Many other countries and regions use it for politics and business, for example, India. Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines. English is also one of the official languages of Hong Kong.But global advertising and pop music mean that in most countries, you will see or hear some English. Thanks to McDonalds, we all know about "burgers". "fries" and "milkshakes". Songs by Madonna, Britney Spears and Celine Dion are in English. We can sing along, even if we do not understand what we are singing!English is a messy (杂乱的) language. Every year, dictionaries include new words that talk about popular culture, for example, computer-related words such as "blogging", "download" and "chatroom". Also included are words that teenagers use. Who does not know "cool", "OK" and “hello” ?Other languages also influence English. Many English words come from French. Words like "cafe" and expressions like "c'est la vie" (that is life) are all part of the English language. On the other hand, the French language includes English words like "le weekend" and "le camping". German words are also part of English. Words like "kindergarten" come from the German language.Recently, British people have become interested in "yoga". But the word comes from an ancient Hindu language in India.46.

Unit 2English around the world李仕才一、阅读理解AMy daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up situations, and is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants. “Girls rule, boys drool.〞 But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy〞 is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon〔三项全能〕.On Saturday, with a thunders torm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she’d need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before.All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might bewearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.Shine on, sweet baby.1.Kelly is nervous when ________.A. boys are around herB. she changes into a leaderC. she is away from her momD. situations are new to her2.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that______.A. the race began in the early morningB. Kelly was eager for her turn in the raceC. the whole family gave Kelly supportD. her brother’s b irthday party was delayed.3.In the ending paragraphs the author “felt like I won that day〞 becauseKelly________.A. Took part in the sportB. Expressed love to herC. Won the gold medalD. Changed completely4.What kind of person do you think Kelly is?A. Timid and determinedB. Cute and confidentC. Fearful and energeticD. Sociable and brave【文章大意】本文讲述了“我〞的女儿Kelly是个慢热型的人，和陌生人在一起她会很紧张很害羞，看到女儿赢得奖牌是作为父母最大的荣耀。

【快乐考生】2015届高考英语一轮总复习 Unit 2 English around the world课时作业新人教版必修1Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2013·大纲卷)In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness，Richard Burton，Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交响乐团)．It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.At the same time，the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years.Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by littleknown writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.Today the “Fringe”，once less recognized，has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts.And yet as early as 1959，with only 19 theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big.A paid administrator(行政人员) was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.[文章大意]本文介绍了英国爱丁堡的艺术节。

It’s natural that some people sometimes come into conflict 1.with their neighbors.Here are two examples.Yang Ming，2.who was a drummer for the rock band，had to pack his bags and leave his apartment.He held parties every night，which 3.made(make)a loud noise.4.As a result，his neighbors couldn’t stand it any longer.One neighbor said that Yang Ming was an alcoholic，which had a bad influence5.on his ter，the local council took action to deal with the neighbors’plaints(complain)．Smith is a gardener and a fish collector and he lives above theMckays.7.Unfortunately(fortunate)for Smith，the water he 8.sent(send)over his balcony ended up on the Mckay’s every day.One evening，the Mckays9.were_celebrating(celebrate) James’ birthday when the dirty water came from above and the Mckays were all wet.James was so angry that he went upstairs 10.to_hit(hit) Smith over the head.Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe best-known example of external(外部的) influence causing language change is the “Americanization” of world culture,which has caused English words to appear in city streets all over the world.The effect is most noticeable in pop music.Foreign groups often record in English,and the words are picked up and repeated in the same language everywhere,even by children who otherwise have little or no command of the language.I once met a Brazilian child of about ten who could count “one,two,three”,but only by adding the words “o’clock,four o’clock rock” at the end.Some people are often strongly critical of the influence of English on theirlanguage—especially when an English word replaces a traditional word.In 1977,France passed a law banning the use of English words in official situations if an equivalent(意义相同的) French expression existed—but the law seemed to be honoured more in the breaking than in the observing.Some other countries have considered introducing a similar law despite the evidence that such laws have very little effect,and that the arrival of loan words(外来词) can greatly enrich a language(as indeed in the case of English itself,which has a long history of welcoming foreign words).However,not everyone is critical.In particular,commercial firms and advertisers are well aware of the potential selling power that the use of English vocabulary can bring.In Japan,English is even used in television commercials,despite the fact that the majority of viewers would not understand exactly what was being said:the excellence implied by the mere use of English is apparently enough to command the strategy to the advertisers.Most of the influence of English is upon the vocabulary of foreign languages,but surveys are slowly bringing to light several cases where word order or word structure has been affected.Sentences of the type “The book sells well”,using an active construction for a passive meaning,have begun to appear in Danish(Bogen soelger godt).Several languages keep the English plural ending when they make use of a loan word,and do not translate it into the native form,e.g.drinks.There are many other such cases.1.Why could the Brazilian child speak “one,two,three” in English?A.Because he had seen these words everywhere in the street.B.Because he had learnt how to tell the time in English.C.Because he had made himself master of English.D.Because he had heard these words in songs a lot.2.What can we infer about the law passed in France in 1977?A.It was strict.B.It was unfair.C.It was often ignored.D.It was strongly opposed.3.Some Japanese commercials use English in the hope of .A.following the American trendB.becoming world-famousC.enriching JapaneseD.increasing sales4.The last paragraph is mainly developed by .A.providing examplesB.making comparisonsC.explaining grammar rulesD.analyzing language changeBAccording to a historian，uniforms were introduced into the United States around 1979 to deal with the problems of violence among students.Statistical reports state that only 15% of primary schools and around 10% of secondary schools in the United States have strictly carried out the uniform policy.In recent times it has become the most debated topic among parents and educators，with many critics stating the fact that wearing uniforms has no effect on the thought process of a student nor does it considerably reduce inequality among the masses.Students are instructed to follow certain rules：for boys，pants，shirts with turtlenecks，sweaters and jackets are acceptable，while in some schools，shorts are strictly forbidden；similarly，for girls，long skirts，blouses，pants and flatheeled shoes are acceptable.School uniforms in other countries such as Thailand，Indonesia，India and Pakistan were introduced during the British colonial period.In these countries，girls in senior schools usually wear broad trousers and boys wear pants and shirts.In preschool though，girls wear skirts and blouses and boys wear short pants and shirts.In other parts like New Zealand and Australia where the British colonial rule was in effect，the uniform system was followed in the public school system.The dress sense closely resembled that of the English students.The purpose of a school uniform is to promote team spirit，discipline and increaseequality among all students.Though uniforms have intended to wipe out the discrimination in the weaker section，critics have a different story to say.According to them，uniforms have no such great effect on students.This standardized dress has not helped students remove any barriers and is adding costs to the parents.In many countries，though students' wearing uniforms has produced some positive results，in the United States，the implementation(实施)requires a lot of efforts before we can achieve full success.1．What does the underlined word “masses” in the second paragraph refer to?A．Schools. B．Parents.C．Students. D．Teachers.2．What can we know about the uniform system in Australia according to Paragraph 3?A．The uniform system in the public school follows Britain.B．The Australian students dress more casually.C．The uniform system is the same as that in New Zealand.D．Most Australian students wear school uniforms.3．What's the intention of school uniforms at first?A．To encourage students to be more diligent.B．To improve students' academic achievement.C．To prevent students fighting with each other.D．To promote the equality among students.4．What's the attitude of the critics towards school uniforms?A．Supportive. B．Neutral.C．Negative. D．Factual.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文，通过介绍美国目前校服的普及情况，讨论了校服的作用，最后指出在某些国家，如美国，校服制度的实施还需要努力。
高三英语一轮复习练习15：Unit 2 English around the world练习题
Unit 2 English around the world第一节阅读理解阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。
Daniel Anderson，a famous psychologist，believes it's important to distinguish television's influences on children from those of the family.We tend to blame TV，he says，for problems it doesn't really cause，overlooking our own roles in shaping children's minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child's ability to think and to understand the world.While watching TV，children do not merely absorb words and images (影像)．Instead，they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see.Actually，children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows.Furthermore，as many teachers agree，children understand far more when parents watch TV with them，explaining new words and ideas.Yet，most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment.But according to Anderson，the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading doesn't take the place of reading for most children；it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation，such as listening to the radio and playing sports.Things like parents' educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading.“A child's reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads，”Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance.But here，too，Anderson notes that no studies have proved it.In fact，research suggests that it's the other way around.“If you're smart young，you'll watch less TV when you're older，”Anderson says.Yet，people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children.However，by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed，Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.1．By watching TV，children learn ________.A．images through wordsB．more than explicit meaningsC．more about images than wordsD．little about people's psychology2．An educational program is best watched by a child ________.A．on his own B．with other kidsC．with his parents D．with his teachers3．Which of the following is most related to children's reading ability?A．Radiolistening.B．Televisionwatching.C．Parents' reading list.D．Parents' educational background.4．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To advise on the educational use of TV.B．To describe TV's harmful effects on children.C．To explain traditional views on TV influences.D．To present Anderson's unconventional ideas.第二节七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Actually all languages change and develop 2.when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English 3.spoken (speak) today. It was based more 4.on German than the English we speak at present.

Before I studied psychology，I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred.While I was right about that，I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke.When someone laughs at a joke，there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are，the more powerful the joke will be.I was attending a standup comedy show in Egypt，and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets，everyone laughed their heads off.The main reason why those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly.The joke wasn’t only funny，but it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.The better a joke makes a person feel，and the more it includes other psychological factors，the more the person will like it.For example，if you envy one of your friends，and someone tells a joke that is funny and，at the same time，makes your friend seem stupid，then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him.In short，we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke.I strongly discourage you from making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh.All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions，he will certainly like it a lot.【解题导语】本文主要分析了人们笑的原因。

【世纪金榜】2015年高考英语大一轮复习 Unit 2 English around the world课时作业新人教版必修1Ⅰ. 阅读理解AEnglish as a Foreign LanguageWho taught you to speak English? Your parents, whileyou were a young child? Your teachers at school? Perhapseven the BBC as a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow youhave developed an understanding of what is rapidlybecoming a truly global language.There are now about 376 million people who speakEnglish as their first language, and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue. There are said to be one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures? Or should we worry about the dangers of“mono-culturalism”, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music?Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? On the contrary, I would have thought-although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India(where many of them speak at least some English)and Pakistan(the same situation with India). . .If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonald’s burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant(占主导地位的), will it kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we receive d a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it’s like a rose, ”he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of rose? ”Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that’s fine by me.【文章大意】作者以独特的视角分析了英语的发展前景和人们的种种顾虑。

亲爱的同学：这份试卷将再次记录你的自信、沉着、智慧和收获，我们一直投给你信任的目光……学习资料专题Unit 2 English around the world李仕才***阅读理解One time a young man，who hoped to study law，wrote to Lincoln for advice，and Lincoln replied，“If you are resolutely determined to make a lawyer of yourself，the thing is more than half done already...Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing.”Lincoln knew.He had gone through it all.He had never，in his entire life，had more than a total of one year's schooling.And books？Lincoln once said he had walked to borrow every book within fifty miles of his home.A fire was usually kept going all night in the small house and he read by the light of it.He walked twenty or thirty miles to hear a speaker and, returning home，he practiced his talks everywhere—in the fields，in the woods，before the crowds.He joined several societies and practiced speaking on the topics of the day.A lack of confidence always troubled him.In the presence of women he was shy and dumb.Even when he was in love with Mary Todd，he used to sit there，nervous and silent，unable to find words，listening while she did the talking.Yet that was the man who，by practice and home study，made himself into the speaker who debated with the famous speaker Douglas！That was the man who，in the Gettysburg Address，rose to the heights of eloquence(雄辩)that have seldom been achieved in all of human history.Small wonder that，speaking of his own great barriers and painful struggle，he wrote，“If you are resolutely determined t o make a lawyer of yourself，the thing is more than half done already.”1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Earning a fortune. B．Making a living.C．Asking for advice. D．Becoming a lawyer.2．What is the key point of the fourth paragraph?A．Lincoln's courage.B．Lincoln's position.C．Lincoln's progress.D．Lincoln's eloquence.3．What is the most vital spirit reflected in Lincoln's story above?A．Believing in oneself.B．Keeping on practicing hard.C．Overcoming difficulties.D．Sticking to one's determination.【解题导语】本文主要通过讲述林肯的励志故事启迪读者：无论做什么，只要坚定决心，那就成功了一半以上。

One is interest. Knowing about the way people behavemakes your reading more interesting. Another reason is usefulness.If you are going to have a conversation with native speakers of a language you learn, you need to know the sort of topics that interest them once you get past “Hello”. You need to know something about their favorite sports, the current (现时的) government of the country where the language is spoken, current fashions in clothes and outstanding national events in recent times, to mention a few. Showing that you know something about their country can lead to interesting conversations.The way people think is closely connected with language. Languages are one channel through which different cultures present their ideas both within themselves and in contact with others. The fact that a language does not have the same range of words as another language does not mean that they do not value those things as much.Whether or not your main intention to learn a language is to learn about people's cultural backgrounds or to deal with a degree course, you will be learning about it indirectly from various sources about culture like the coursebooks, films, the news, literature or even travel brochures (手册). You could make a long list just by thinking of all the things that are important to the culture such as customs that go back centuries, architecture, traditional ceremonies, the way people relate to each other in families, the value that are important to a society, the sense of humour that people share, movies, music and art. All these cultural aspects are important to language learners if they want to get a better understanding of the language itself.1．Which of the following contributes to a conversation with native speakers?A．Greeting them by saying “Hello”．B．Talking about their religious beliefs.C．Telling them about your favorite sports.D．Mentioning interesting topics in their culture.2．What role does a language play in the culture?A．It offers the same range of words as another language.B．It is a channel through which people present their ideas.C．It values people's ideas and thoughts to a certain degree.D．It deals with the relationship between thoughts and language.3．The last paragraph mainly deals with ________.A．people's main purpose to learn a foreign languageB．the importance to learn about cultural backgroundsC．different cultural sources and main cultural aspectsD．how people think and what is valued by a society4．What might be the best title for this passage?A．What is a culture aboutB．Why do we learn cultureC．What to learn in a cultureD．How to learn about cultureⅢ.任务型读写(2013·皖南八校高三第三次联考)Do you love travelling? If the answer is yes, then have you ever thought about why? You may maintain that travelling can help you expand your scope of knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning. It will provide more chances for you to enjoy food and try on clothes that you otherwise cannot possibly have. A famous English author Francis Bacon (1561—1626) makes a point when he says that, “Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.”Evidence of leisure travel can be traced (追溯) as far back as ancient Babylon. But this sort of travel only really took off after World War Ⅱ. This year, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the 1 billionth tourist will cross an international boundary before the end of this month. That means that one in seven people on the planet travelled this year, something that would not have been possible a few decades ago. Around 20 years ago only the rich could travel.While the US and France remain the two largest destinations for world travel, experts say much of the explosive growth in tourism has been to countries like Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and the Ivory Coast, which weren't even on the world tourism map a decade ago. The top five destinations in the world, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, are Paris, London, New York, the Mediterranean and Turkey.Several factors have led to the boom in world travel. The prosperity of people in Asia is one factor. People in Asian developing countries have lifted their incomes above middle-class levels in the past few years. “And a lot of them have used their new wealth to travel. In addition, travel costs have been reduced thanks to the rapid development of transportation and competition between airlines to give customers the best prices.答案Ⅰ.1.选D由空后的“去哪儿对我来说都一样”可知，答话人是让对方做决定。
