All these words are 47 heard in different parts of America, but only “tap”is still 48 in England. Americans often make 49 new words or change old ones.“Corn”is one kind of plant in America and 50 in England.Also, over the last three centuries the English language has 51 thousands of new words for things that weren‟t 52 before.

AIn order to know a foreign language thoroughly (完全地), four things are necessary. First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly with confidence（信心）and without hesitation（犹豫）.Thirdly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must “Learn through use”. Practice is important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can.61.The most important things to learn a foreign language are __________.A. understanding and speakingB. listening, speaking, reading and writingC. writing and understandingD. memorizing and listening62.Someone hears and writes English very well, but he speaks it very badly. This isbecause_______.A. he doesn‟t understand the language when he hears it spokenB. he doesn‟t have a good memoryC. he always remember lists of words and their meaningsD. he often hesitates to practice speaking it63.One can never learn a foreign language well only by __________.A. much practiceB. studying the dictionaryC. learning through useD. using the language64.Which of the following is the most important in learning a foreign language?A.

Writing.65. “Learn through use” means __________.A. we use a language in order to learn itB. we learn a foreign language in order to use itC. we can learn a language well while we are using itD. both B and CBIf you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like “Shakespeare” “Samuel Johnson” and “Webster”, but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn‟t even speak English --William the Conqueror.Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived people belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region in the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, thought not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest ofthe country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasant. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction(区别)between upper-class(上层) French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more“foreign”than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences（影响）are all the result of one man‟s ambition.66.The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were________.A.

After they had gone on, Mrs. Bussman said that the workman was closely like her husband and even suggested that he might be his brother. Franz laughed at the idea, pointing out that his brother had been killed in action during the war. Though Mrs. Bussman knew this story quite well, she thought that there was a chance in a million that she might be right.A few days later, she sent a boy to the workman to ask him if his name was Hans Bussman. Needless to say, the man's name was Hans Bussman. And he really was Franz's long-lost brother. When the brothers were reunited, Hans explained how it was that he was still alive.After having being wounded towards the end of the war, he had been sent to hospital and was separated from his unit. The hospital had been bombed and Hans had made his way back into Western Germany on foot. Meanwhile, his unit was lost and all records of him had been destroyed.
