    When you cross over the border from England into Wales you don't have to show your passport but
    you do notice a difference immediately.  All the road markings and signs are shown in two
    languages-English and Welsh. Not all visitors to Britain know that other languages are spoken here.
    There's the Gaelic language in Scotland and a few people speak Comish in the southwest of England,but
    the most widely spoken language in the UK apart from English is Welsh.
    Perhaps the first Welsh word you'll see on the road into Wales is ARAF. There's a helpful English
    translation next to it-SLOW.  As you can see,Welsh looks quite different to English.  It sounds very
    different too.  If you think English
    pronunciation is difficult,try this: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogery-chwymdrobwllantysiliogogogoch.
    That's the name of a small town in Wales and,in English,it means "The church of Saint Mary in the
    hollow of the white hazel tree near the rapid whirlpool and the church of Saint Tysilio near a red cave".
    Welsh looks and sounds so different from English because it's a Celtic language. Celtic cultures still
    exist around the edges of the UK-in Wales,Scotland and Northem Ireland and also in parts of France.
    For hundreds of years,almost everyone in Wales spoke Welsh but nowadays there are only about
    500,000 Welsh speakers-about 20% of the population.
    So is Welsh dying out? Not at all.  Nowadays all school children in Wales study Welsh and many
    choose to go to an all Welsh-speaking school. You can get public information in Welsh,speak Welsh in
    court or take a course at university in Welsh.  People surf the Net in Welsh,keep up with friends on
    Facebook and write blogs in Welsh.
    And by the way," Croeso i Cymru ! "  means "Welcome to Wales"-I hope you'll be able to visit
    one day.
    1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?
    A. Only English and Welsh are spoken in Britain.
    B. Welsh has its roots in the same culture as English.
    C. Welsh is the second most widely spoken language in the UK.
    D.  All visitors know other languages are also spoken in Britain.
    2. The writer gives the name of a small town in order to _____.
    A. show that the small town's name is very strange
    B. show that learning Welsh is great fun
    C. tell us that Welsh is widely used in Wales
    D. tell us that Welsh is difficult to pronounce
    3.  It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that _____.
    A. Welsh still plays an active part in Wales in daily life
    B. most British children go to an all-Welsh school nowadays
    C. Welsh is mostly used in court in the UK
    D. Welsh is likely to disappear soon

  • 历史文化类阅读

什么是历史文化类阅读:

本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议,所以要把握其议才是主要方面。阅读这类文章,先弄清其引入的话题,再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法,然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。


历史文化类阅读技巧:

题型说明】历史文化类阅读理解文章属高考常选材料之一。这类文章常涉及历史、文化、法制、宗教等方面的文学艺术、发明创造、文化遗产保护、宗教与文化、风俗与习惯、道德与法制、中外文学名著节选、等等。这类材料的命题点往往落在主旨大意题、事实细节题上。
答题方法】在做这类阅读理解题时,我们应注意以下几个方面:
1、采用先题后文:先读题目,再带着问题读文章。这类阅读理解文章相对来说事实细节题稍多一点,如果带着问题读文章,有利于我们抓细节。
2、先做细节题。因为做完了局部性的事实细节题后,自然会加深我们对文章的理解,这样更有利于做主旨大意题。
3、重点敲定主旨题。主旨大意题提问的形式主要有两大类:一类是Main idea型;一类是Topic或Title型。
在解答这类试题时应注意以下几点:
a.读首句抓大意。
文化教育类阅读理解文章多采用说明文、议论文体裁,而这类文章大都采用文章段落的中心,即主题句在文章开头。因此,要寻找这类文章的主旨大意就需要研究文章的首句。
b.读尾句抓大意。
有时这类文章的主题句安排在文章的结尾,作为对全篇的总结。
c.读首段抓大意。
有些文章或段落的开头和结尾部分都有主题句。这种结构是为了突出主题思想而使用两次点题的写作方法。这两个主题句在句子结构和用词上有所不同,而且在内容上前句和后句也不重复。
d.从段落中抓大意。
有些文章或段落的主题句在文章中,这种文章或段落往往以一句话或几句话引出要表达的主题,在主题句出现后,再举例子陈述细节或继续论证。
e.归纳要点抓大意。
有些文章或段落无明显的主题句,只是暗示性地体现主题。这就要求同学们在阅读过程中根据文中所叙述的事实或线索来概括总结主旨大意。
