語言學習
(2012·廣東卷)“Have a nice day!” may be 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 spoken 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) 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 is 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 day.”
The expression can be pleasant.If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you，you may find it heartwarming 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 except 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 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.
【語篇解讀】 本文論述了“Have a nice day”在不同的場合的不同含義。
1.How does the author understand Maxie's words?
A.Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.
B.Maxie really wishes the author a good day.
C.Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.
D.Maxie really worries about the author's security.
答案 B [考查細節理解。根據第一段最后兩句可知，作者認為當她的朋友Maxie對她說“Have a nice day”時，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 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。根據畫線部分的上下文內容可推知，售貨員用相同的腔調說這句話，這只是她為了增加業務的例行程序。]
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 pleasure with you
答案 A [考查推理判斷。根據第四段中的“because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you”可推知，當陌生人對你說這句話時，他是為了讓你感覺他很友好。文中的“to be nice to you”與A項中的“to be polite to you”含義相同，故選A項。]
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 Heartwarming 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”這句話在不同的場合的不同理解。再根據最后一段第一句可知，A項作為本文標題最合適，其他三項說法片面。]

As I found out，there is __11__ often no perfect equivalence (對應) between two __12__ in two languages.My aunt even goes so far as to __13__ that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the __14__ meaning of a word in English! __15__，she insisted that I read the definition(定義) of a word in a monolingual dictionary __16__ I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning.__17__，I have come to see what she meant.
Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way.This dictionary uses a(n) __18__ number of words，around 2,000，in its definitions.When I read these definitions，I am __19__ exposed to(接觸) the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas.__20__ this，I can express myself more easily in English.
【語篇解讀】 這是一篇記敘文，作者主要描寫自己從最初接觸英漢詞典的驚異，到習慣使用英漢詞典以及使用英漢語詞典的好處。
1.A.worried B.sad C.surprised D.nervous
答案 C [通讀全文可知，作者是一個中國大學生，中國人學英語，尤其是初學者習慣使用英漢詞典。當作者看到英英詞典的時候，他感到“吃驚”。]
2.A.Because B.Although C.Unless D.If
答案 B [前后兩句在意義上是讓步關系，所以用although引導讓步狀語從句。而A項because引導原因狀語從句，unless和if引導條件狀語從句。]
3.A.but B.so C.or D.and
答案 A [此空格處是一個并列連詞，連接前后兩句。而前后兩句之間存在的是轉折關系，所以用but。]
4.A.difficult B.interesting C.ambiguous D.practical
答案 A [最初用英英詞典，不習慣，所以作者感覺用起來很難。interesting是“有趣味的意思”，根據下文not fully understand the meaning排除;ambiguous“不明確的”;practical“實用的”。]
5.A.thus B.even C.still D.again
答案 C [句子中有否定詞not，有副詞fully，所以用still，表示“仍然不能夠完全明白”的意思。]
6.A.new B.familiar C.earlier D.ordinary
答案 B [be used to表示“習慣……”，對作者來說習慣了雙語詞典，或者說是英漢詞典。這里指雙語詞典的使用對他來說是熟悉。]
7.A.explained B.expressed C.described D.created
答案 A [此句是一個in which引導的定語從句，其中words是主語，根據常識在詞典中單詞的意思是被“用兩種語言解釋出來”的，所以用explained。]
8.A.offered B.agreed C.decided D.happened
答案 C [“我”真想知道“我”姑媽為什么決定這么為難“我”。其他三個詞雖然都跟動詞不定式，但是在這里意思都不恰當。]
9.A.imagine B.recommend C.predict D.understand
答案 D [過去不理解，經過一段時間后，明白了。]
10.A.natural B.better C.easier D.convenient
答案 B [此句中monolingual dictionaries和bilingual dictionaries比較，A和D項沒用比較級，better強調更好，更實用，而不是easier。]
11.A.at best B.in fact C.at times D.in case
答案 B [常見的情況是實際上兩種語言之間的兩個詞沒有完全的對應。in fact表示“實際上，事實上”。at best“至多;充其量”;at times“有時”;in case“萬一，以防”。]
12.A.words B.names C.ideas D.characters
答案 A [詞典上重點的內容應該是單詞。]
13.A.hope B.declare C.doubt D.tell
答案 B [“我”姑媽甚至還聲稱漢語意思決不能給出一個英語單詞的確切意思。]
14.A.exact B.basic C.translated D.expected
答案 A [前面的a Chinese equivalent和the meaning of a word in English對應，所表明還是對應不準確的問題，所以用exact。]
15.A.Rather B.However C.Therefore D.Instead
答案 C [此空后面的句子和前面表示的是一種“因果”關系，所以用therefore。]
16.A.when B.before C.until D.while
答案 A [表示“當……時候”，用when引導時間狀語從句。before“在……之前”;until“直到……時候”;while“在……的同時”。]
17.A.Largely B.Generally C.Gradually D.Probably
答案 C [該句的謂語have come to see是表示“變化過程”，所以用gradually表示“漸漸地”。]
18.A.extra B.average C.total D.limited
答案 D [從后面的around 2,000可知詞典中用于解釋詞義的詞是限制在2 000左右。]
19.A.repeatedly B.nearly
C.immediately D.anxiously
答案 A [在有限的范圍內，查閱閱讀釋義的話，就會反復接觸基本詞匯、學會這些詞匯怎樣用來解釋事物和觀點，所以用repeatedly表示“反復地，經常地”。]
20.A.According to B.In relation to
C.In addition to D.Because of
答案 D [后面主句部分I can express myself more easily in English.表達的是結果，此處表達的應該是原因，說明使用這種詞典所帶來的好處。]

Despite the popularity of school spelling competitions，adults in the US performed poorly in a survey comparing how English speakers on both sides of the Atlantic deal with commonly misspelt words.
Sixtytwo percent of Americans got “embarrassed” wrong，against 54 percent of Britons who struggled with the word in a survey last year.Adults in the US performed less well on most of the ten words tested，including millennium (52 percent wrong，against 43 percent in the UK)，liaison (61 percent to 54 percent) and “accommodation” (42 percent to 36 percent ).Only “definitely” and “friend” were spelt correctly by more Americans.
Jack Bovill of the Spelling Society，which sponsored (發起) the research，said the high inaccuracy rates in both countries showed the need for the English spelling system to be modernized.“When asked，only a quarter of adults thought they had a problem with spelling.The answers in the test prove that this_is_far_from_the_case，” he said.“What is holding the UK and the USA back is the irregular spelling system.”
Professor Edward Baranowski，one academic consultant for the project，said，“We 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.”
The study found that 40 percent of the respondents would support updating words that caused problems while 16 percent opposed the idea.And 31 percent said it didn't matter.
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 survey of 1,000 Britons in April last year.
【語篇解讀】 一項調查發現，美國人在單詞拼寫方面不如英國人。
1.The underlined word “inaccuracy” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by ________.
A.success B.error C.correctness D.growth
答案 B [詞義猜測題。根據本句的“showed the need for the English spelling system to be modernized”，聯系第二段英美成年人較高的拼寫錯誤率，可知inaccuracy可用error來代替，都是“錯誤”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.adults perform worse in spelling than kids
D.it is difficult to create a new spelling system
答案 B [推理判斷題。聯系上一句“When asked，only a quarter of adults thought they had a problem with spelling”可知，Bovill是想說，這項研究表明，實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 centuries 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。根據第四段Baranowski所說的話可知，他認為拼寫應該表現單詞的發音。represent意為“表現”，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 spelling
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項標題一語雙關，embarrassd一詞既表明了美國人拼寫的尷尬現狀，又涉及了拼寫調查的部分內容。]
維D 根據短文內容，從下框的A～F選項中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項。選項中有一項為多余項。(每題2分，滿分10分)
1.
Hotel managers make sure their staff are providing friendly service and the hotel building and room facilities are in good condition.They may also hire staff，work with marketing and the hotel's finances and make sure banquets are running properly.Because the manager's job is pivotal(關鍵的) to the hotel，many work over 40 hours a week.
2.
Working as a hotel manager means long working hours and managing a variety of employees in different departments：you will need to keep track of the cleaning staff，the cooks，the front desk and other employees，depending on the size of the hotel you are managing.Because of the great amount of responsibility you have undertaken，you may become stressed out.Managing stress and handling stressful situations calmly will keep your staff reassured and allow you to resolve any problems with hotel operations more quickly.
3.
It is an essential skill for a hotel manager.The hotel must be run according to specific standards.You will need to make sure the maids are cleaning the rooms properly and maintaining sanitation conditions.You will also need to make sure the hotel restaurant is following state health guidelines，when preparing food for guests.You will also want to make sure rooms are properly cleaned before guests receive their room keys.Walk through your hotel and check rooms at random to make sure your staff are keeping up with the cleaning.
4.
It is one of the most important skills you will need as a hotel manager.At work，you will be managing employees from all departments as well as working with customers.You will need to let employees know whether or not they are doing their jobs correctly in a way that will encourage them rather than frustrate them.You will also need to turn on your smile for customers and let them know why staying at your hotel is a good decision.
5.
As a hotel manager，you will likely be dealing with multiple employees and customers at the same time.However，if you fail to listen to what each person is saying，you might miss an important issue with the hotel or give customers the idea that your hotel doesn't care their needs or business.This could damage the reputation of your hotel and cause you to lose business.This is why taking the time to listen to what people around you are saying is important;employees' concerns about the work environment can cause them to be less friendly and not to work as efficiently.
答案 1.B 2.C 3.A 4.F 5.E
