Jack Bovill of the Spelling Society，which sponsored (發(fā)起) the research，said the high inaccuracy rates in both countries showed the need for the English spelling system to be modernized.“Wh

5、have different spellings for the same sound，and a system which reflects how English was spoken in the 13th to 15th centuries，not how it is spoken today.So many sound changes have occurred in the language，which is not reflected in modern spelling，that we are left with a ‘fossilized (僵化的)’ system.” T

The US survey involving a sample of 1,000 adults was carried out online by Ipsos MORI last month，with the method based on a sur

7、vey of 1,000 Britons in April last year. 【語(yǔ)篇解讀】 一項(xiàng)調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，美國(guó)人在單詞拼寫方面不如英國(guó)人。 1．The underlined word “inaccuracy” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by ________. A．success B．error C．correctness D．growth 答案　B　[詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)本句的“showed the need for the English spelling system to be modernized”，聯(lián)系第二段英美成年人較高

8、的拼寫錯(cuò)誤率，可知inaccuracy可用error來代替，都是“錯(cuò)誤”的意思。] 2．The underlined part “this is far from the case” in Paragraph 3 implies that ________. A．most of the Americans can spell correctly B．there are more people having spelling problems C．a(chǎn)dults perform worse in spelling than kids D．it is difficult to creat

9、e a new spelling system 答案　B[推理判斷題。聯(lián)系上一句“When asked，only a quarter of adults thought they had a problem with spelling”可知，Bovill是想說，這項(xiàng)研究表明，實(shí)際上很多人都存在拼寫問題。] 3．Professor Baranowski seems to agree that ________. A．spelling should represent the sound of words B．we should learn how English was spoken c

10、enturies ago C．different countries should have different spellings D．sound changes have nothing to do with spelling 答案　A　[推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段Baranowski所說的話可知，他認(rèn)為拼寫應(yīng)該表現(xiàn)單詞的發(fā)音。represent意為“表現(xiàn)”，reflect意為“反映”，此處兩者含義一致。] 4．What would be the most suitable title of the passage? A．Who is responsible for our spel

11、ling B．The English language to be blamed C．Americans embarrassed by their spellings D．Words needed to be modernized 答案　C　[主旨大意題。C項(xiàng)標(biāo)題一語(yǔ)雙關(guān)，embarrassd一詞既表明了美國(guó)人拼寫的尷尬現(xiàn)狀，又涉及了拼寫調(diào)查的部分內(nèi)容。] *******************************************************結(jié)束 維A 閱讀理解(每題2分，滿分8分) (2019·廣東卷)“Have a nice day！” may be

12、a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression.When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile，I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well. “Have a nice day.Next！” This version of the expression is spoke

13、n by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door.The words come out in the same tone (腔調(diào)) with a fixed procedure.They_are_spoken_at_me，not to me.Obviously，the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business. The expression i

14、s one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other.Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting.As soon as you hear it，you know the meeting is at an end.Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say.“Oh，you just had a tooth out？I'm terribly sorry，but have a nice da

15、y.” The expression can be pleasant.If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you，you may find it heart-warming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you. Although the use of the expression is an insincere，meaningless social custom at times，there is nothing wrong with the sentence ex

16、cept that it is a little uninteresting.The salesgirl，the waitress，the teacher，and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day.But in a strange and comfortable way，it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that

17、much.While the expression may not often be sincere，it is always spoken.The point is that people say it all the time when they like. 【語(yǔ)篇解讀】 本文論述了“Have a nice day”在不同的場(chǎng)合的不同含義。 1．How does the author understand Maxie's words? A．Maxie shows her anxiety to the author. B．Maxie really wishes the author

18、a good day. C．Maxie encourages the author to stay happy. D．Maxie really worries about the author's security. 答案　B　[考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段最后兩句可知，作者認(rèn)為當(dāng)她的朋友Maxie對(duì)她說“Have a nice day”時(shí)，Maxie是真心地祝愿作者有美好的一天。] 2．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? A．The salesgirl is rude. B．The salesgirl is

19、bored. C．The salesgirl cares about me. D．The salesgirl says the words as a routine. 答案　D　[考查句意理解。根據(jù)畫線部分的上下文內(nèi)容可推知，售貨員用相同的腔調(diào)說這句話，這只是她為了增加業(yè)務(wù)的例行程序。] 3．By saying “Have a nice day，” a stranger may ________. A．try to be polite to you B．express respect to you C．give his blessing to you D．share his

20、pleasure with you 答案　A　[考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you”可推知，當(dāng)陌生人對(duì)你說這句話時(shí)，他是為了讓你感覺他很友好。文中的“to be nice to you”與A項(xiàng)中的“to be polite to you”含義相同，故選A項(xiàng)。] 4．What is the best title of the passage? A．Have a Nice Day—a Social Custom B．Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant Gesture C．Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming Greeting D．Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation 答案　A　[考查主旨大意。本文講的是“Have a nice day”這句話在不同的場(chǎng)合的不同理解。再根據(jù)最后一段第一句可知，A項(xiàng)作為本文標(biāo)題最合適，其他三項(xiàng)說法片面。] ****************************************************結(jié)束 內(nèi)容總結(jié)
