For some reason, words ‎ with silent letters have always bothered me. For example, consider these words: know, design, island, school, wrist, naughty, and salmon. All of these words have at least one letter that is not typically pronounced, and these words are just a very small part of words with silent letters in them.‎ Some words are even worse, consider this word: colonel. Not only are some letters not pronounced, but letters that are not even there are pronounced.‎ Even foreign languages, especially French, are guilty of this needless complexity and confusion. I know there must be some main historical reasons why the words are spelled and pronounced the way they are, but that does not mean bad traditions must continue to survive. Especially if they are no longer logical.‎ Unfortunately, there is very little that anyone can do for it, because there's no group of people who can change or have the right to change the English language for everyone. However, the only thing we can do is make changes in the way we talk and write in hopes that it catches_on. For example, I pronounce the letter “l” in salmon on purpose to make people annoyed and to sound more different or complicated. I even pronounce colonel the correct or French way.‎ I can only hope these two minor changes to the English language make sense to you, and you will help to keep up these minor changes forever in your everyday life.‎ 文章大意：不知道你注意了没有？英语中有些单词中的字母是不发音的。这是由于长期的历史原因造成的。我们该怎样对待它们呢？‎ ‎1．We can learn from the passage________.‎ C. all the words with silent letters come from French D. linguists will solve the problem of dumb letters 答案：B　推理判断题。由第一段第四句话“All of these words have at least one letter that is not typically pronounced”可知，“know, design, island, school, wrist, naughty, and salmon”这些单词至少有一个字母不发音，再由第四段第三句话“I pronounce the letter ‘l’ in salmon on purpose”可知salmon单词中的字母l不发音，所以B项正确。由第二段可知，colonel单词的发音规则是有一些字母不发音，但是不在该单词拼写之中的有些字母还会发音，所以A项错误；由第三段可知，法语只是这一现象的主要原因，所以C项错误；由第四段“Unfortunately, there is very little that anyone can do for it, because there's no group of people who can change or have the right to change the English language for everyone.”可知，D项错误。‎ ‎2．Which of the following is the main reason for silent letters?‎ A. French language. ‎ B. Historical reasons. ‎ C. Some linguists. ‎ D. Bad traditions.‎ 答案：B　细节理解题。由第三段第二句话“I know there must be some main historical reasons why the words are spelled and pronounced the way they are...”可知，造成英语有些字母不发音的主要原因是历史原因。‎ ‎3．The underlined phrase “catches on” probably means ‎“________”．‎ A. becomes popular B. gets across ‎ C. follows the fashions D. doesn't fall behind 答案：A　猜测词义题。所在句句意“‎ 但是我们可以在我们说或者写的时候做些变化，希望会让这些变化流行起来”。‎ ‎4．Which of the following is the best title for this passage?‎ A. Troubles in everyday life B. Traps in English words C. Words with silent letters ‎ D. Necessary changes of languages 答案：C　主旨大意题。由文章大意可知，全文讨论了英语单词中的字母不发音的原因和我们对此的态度。‎ B Some people say global English is no longer just controlled by British or American English, but is running free and developing uniquely local forms. Can you figure out the following terms?‎ ‎“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.” This is a way of saying “Keep off the grass.” Or “people mountain, people sea”， which means “very crowded”．‎ These examples are what we call Chinglish. When it comes to Chinglish, if all you know is “good good study, day day up，” you will be considered “out man”．‎ Nowadays, more Chinglish words have been created, for example, a Chinese idiom is translated as “smilence”， a combination by the English word smile and silence.‎ Chinglish usually offers a humorous look at misuses of the ‎ English language in Chinese street signs, products, and advertising. They are favored by some English speaking tourists and visitors. Dominic Swire has been living in Beijing for a couple of years. “I think many Chinese people complain about the Chinglish and badly translated English. But you know, sometimes for us foreigners, it's actually quite charming to see them. I think if the translations of English in China were all perfect, then something would be lost from Chinese culture.”‎ However, Chinglish will probably become a “cultural relic” in the near future. Beijing has made a comprehensive plan to improve foreign language services and correct Chinglish within five years. “It is very ridiculous to see Chinglish on the signs in some scenic spots. And they are a kind of barrer for communication between Chinese and people from other countries，” a Beijinger said.‎ Some Chinese university experts side with Chinglish. They argue that English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and now it's Chinese's turn.‎ 文章大意：如今，世界英语不单单受美式英语和英式英语的影响，英语词汇和汉语语法的结合出现了越来越多的“中国式英语”。‎ ‎5．What can we call Chinglish?‎ A．English words which get new Chinese meanings.‎ B．The Chinese words which are difficult to translate.‎ C. The words combining English vocabulary and Chinese grammar.‎ D．The local words preventing foreigners to learn Chinese well.‎ 答案：‎ C　推理判断题。根据第二、三、四段所举的例子可以判断中国式英语是由英语词汇按照汉语语法形成的英语。‎ ‎6．What does“smilence” most probably mean?‎ A. Saying nothing but to smile.‎ B. Smiling without being noticed.‎ C. Laughing at somebody.‎ D. Knowing little about speech.‎ 答案：A　细节判断题。根据第四段结尾“a combination by the English word smile and silence”可知答案为A。‎ ‎7. Who will be called“out man” according to the passage?‎ A. A person who knows little about Chinglish words.‎ B. A student who hates learning foreign languages.‎ C. A tourist who fails to understand local translations.‎ D. An expert who doesn't support Chinglish at all.‎ 答案：A　细节判断题。根据第三段可知，如今中国式英语很普遍，不知道反而落伍了。‎ ‎8．What is the Swire's attitude to Chinglish?‎ A. It can show the humour of Chinese.‎ B. It will attract more foreign tourists.‎ C. It helps him to learn Chinese well.‎ D. It seems part of Chinese culture.‎ 答案：D　细节判断题。根据第五段中Swire说话的内容可知，他认为中国式英语是中国文化的一部分。‎ ‎9．Chinglish is likely to become a“cultural relic” in Beijing because________.‎ A．it has become a unique bridge between Chinese and English B．Chinglish is a chance to enrich Chinese and English C．it improves the understanding between Chinese and ‎ foreigners D．Beijing is determined to get rid of Chinglish signs 答案：D　细节判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Beijing has made a comprehensive plan to improve foreign language services and correct Chinglish within five years.”可知答案为D。‎
