    The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare's time is estimated(估计) to have been about five
    million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the
    United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to
    the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties
    of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.
    In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足
    够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning
    and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.
    The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its presentday importance as a world
    language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some
    of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native
    speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, internationa
    l conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is
    a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British
    colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal
    communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for
    international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.

    1. What would be the best title for this passage?
    A. The Difficulties of Learning English
    B. International Communications
    C. The Standard Varieties of English

    knowledge of English.

    3. According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?
    A. It was popular during Shakespeare's time.

  • 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念:

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作,生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时,最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容,时间和地点。


日常生活类阅读题答题技巧:

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小,追根溯源,探索各项风俗的历史渊源,内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主,如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松,试题做起来比较顺手,但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神,就会丢分。   
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率,建议同学们做好以下几点:   
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现,越是容易的试题,同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下,同学们极易产生麻痹思想,认为题目好做,就不引起高度重视,于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点,设计陷阱题。所以,无论试题难易与否,我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易,不欣喜;试题难,不悲观。   
2、根据前面讲到的方法,认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。   
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义,确定多义词或短语在文中的意思,确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象,或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子,切不可望文生义。   
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
