Misadventures in English
Last week，our forum asked if you had any funny or strange stories about using English．We didn't expect to get so many posts！Here are some of our favourites，to remind us that some of the English we learn in the classroom is rather different from the English in the outside world!
Yancy: People say that the British always play safe with what they eat．Not true! I went to a summer school in Manchester and my English teacher was called Maggie．One day，a different teacher took our class．He told us that Maggie couldn't teach that day COZ she had a frog in her throat．Poor Maggie—but why did she try to eat such a big frog
Sophie: When I first visited New York，I went to a downtown shopping centre to buy some winter boots．At the information desk at the entrance，I asked a lady where the shoe section was．She said that it was on the first floor．So I went up to the first floor，but couldn't find any shoes．I decided to leave．When I was looking for the exit，I saw that shoes were actually sold downstairs on the ground floor，not the first floor．Why did she give me the wrong information
Julien: I've got an English penfriend，who I finally got to meet in London this summer．He had told me that his grandfather was “really wicked”．But when I met his grandfather，I liked him a lot．I found it very odd．Why did my friend use a negative word about such a nice man
Zheng Xu: The British must have really high standards．I was part of a student exchange programme between a university in England and my university in China．I spent days preparing and writing my first English paper．I knew I had done a good job and was looking forward to getting a positive comment．When I got the paper back，I found my teacher had written the comment “Not bad！” Not bad But there weren't any errors in my paper．

單元綜合檢測(三)　(UNIT 4 & UNIT 5)
(時間：100分鐘　總分：120分)
第一部分　閱讀 (共兩節，滿分50分)
第一節(共15小題；每小題2.5分，滿分37.5分)
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。
A
Nobody expects a natural disaster to strike．Neither does anyone know the impact it can have on life．The following measures can save your life in an emergency．
Typhoon
Typhoons occur in the northwestern Pacific Ocean，particularly in exposed regions like the Caroline Islands，the Philippines，and Japan．The best place to hide during a typhoon is a secure basement or a bathroom with no windows．A must-have device is a battery-powered weather radio，through which you will hear evacuation orders or in other cases，instructions on how to survive in your shelter and learn about the weather situation．
Flood
Floods occur more often than any other natural disaster and change the landscape dramatically．They are usually caused by intense rainfalls lasting for days．Don't try to be the bravest person around and stay in your house．Once you hear the evacuation warning，leave for safer higher grounds with your important papers in a waterproof container．
Avalanche
An avalanche can hit when you are enjoying Alpine skiing in a dreamlike location．It is very fast and disastrous，burying everything in its way under tons of snow．When an avalanche starts，try to move to the side of the slope as fast as you can．If you get buried in the snow，dig an air pocket to be able to keep breathing．Wait for the rescue team to find you and don't waste your energy shouting or digging frantically．Call out when you hear the team approaching．
Wildfire
Wildfires spread at an amazing speed and destroy everything in their way．If you are caught in a wildfire，use a wet cloth to cover your nose and mouth to ensure that you can breathe．Try to stay upwind of the fire at all times and get close to a pond or river．Stay low and cover yourself with wet clothing，a blanket，or soil until the fire passes．
【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇應用文。文章主要講的是在遇到自然災害時應該如何挽救自己的生命。
1．What should those trapped in flood probably do when they hear the evacuation orders
A．Bring an umbrella with them．
B．Go to higher places．
C．Call out for help loudly．
D．Get a torch in case of a blackout．
√
B　[細節理解題。根據Flood部分的“Once you hear the evacuation warning，leave for safer higher grounds with your important papers in a waterproof container．”可知，被困洪水中時，一旦聽到疏散警告，要轉移到更安全的高地。故選B。]
2．Among the four natural disasters，which one requires people to run against the wind
A．Typhoon．　 B．Flood．
C．Avalanche． D．Wildfire．
√
D　[細節理解題。根據Wildfire部分的“Try to stay upwind of the fire at all times and get close to a pond or river．”可知，被困野火時需要逆風跑。故選D。]
3．What do we know from the text
A．Typhoons occur only in the exposed regions in the northwestern Pacific Ocean．
B．Floods cause the most frequent damage among the disasters mentioned．
C．Those who meet with avalanches are advised to call out the minute they're trapped．
D．Getting clean air matters most in the case of wildfires，despite the difficulty．
√
B　[細節理解題。根據Flood部分的“Floods occur more often than any other natural disaster and change the landscape dramatically．” 可知，在上述災害中，洪水比其他自然災害發生得更頻繁，并極大地改變了地貌，B項與原文信息相符。故選B。]
B
Do you know that every fourteen days one of the world's 7，000 languages dies out Throughout human history，languages have died out because of natural disasters，war or genocide (種族滅絕)，but nowadays the major factor is globalization．This is happening all over the world．In the Amazon rainforest，for example，native people are learning Portuguese to move to the big cities in Brazil to find work．In South Africa，young people are choosing to use English instead of traditional languages to study in higher education．
About 60% of the world's population speak one of the twenty most common languages，and the number of speakers of world languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese is increasing rapidly．Would we really miss most small languages if they died out completely The answer has got to be “yes”！
When a language disappears，we lose the culture and history of a people．We also lose the knowledge of the people who speak the language．In a famous case in northern Australia，doctors couldn't find a cure (療法) for a skin problem that the local people developed．When they asked a native woman，she used her own language to describe a plant which could cure the disease．There are many other examples of why disappearing languages are important．Speakers of the Kallawaya
language in Bolivia have got a wide vocabulary of medicinal plants in their part of the rainforest which doctors in the modern world have never heard of，and speakers of the Yupik language of Alaska have got ninety-nine words for ice，which shows that they've got a unique understanding of their world．Our planet would lose that understanding if these languages disappeared．
But we don't have to lose as many languages as some people think．Using modern technology can save small languages，and we mustn't lose the culture，history and knowledge that these languages contain．
【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了正在消失的語言，以及這些語言的消失給人類帶來的影響，并提出了保護這些語言的建議。
4．What is the main reason for the disappearance of language nowadays
A．Natural disasters．
B．Continuous wars．
C．Extinction of a race．
D．The process of globalization．
√
D　[細節理解題。根據文章第一段中的“Throughout human history...but nowadays the major factor is globalization．”可知，現在語言消失的主要原因是全球化。]
5．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．A loss of understanding small languages．
B．The importance of disappearing languages．
C．A description of a plant to cure a skin disease．
D．The knowledge of the culture and history of a race．
√
B　[段落大意題。根據文章第三段中的“There are many other examples of why disappearing languages are important．”可知，本段主要舉例說明為什么消失的語言很重要，故選B。]
6．What is the author's attitude to saving disappearing languages
A．Worried． B．Unconcerned．
C．Positive． D．Doubtful．
√
C　[觀點態度題。根據文章最后一段中的“Using modern technology can save small languages...that these languages contain．”可推知，作者認為我們不能失去語言所包含的文化、歷史和知識，因此作者對于拯救消失的語言是支持的，態度是積極肯定的。]
7．What is the text mainly about
A．Disappearing languages．
B．Increasing natural disasters．
C．Leading languages of the world．
D．Working people's language choice．
√
A　[文章大意題。根據文章第一段中的“Do you know that every fourteen days one of the world's 7，000 languages dies out？”可知，文章主要講述了正在消失的語言，以及這些語言的消失給人類帶來的影響，并提出了保護這些語言的建議。由此可知，A項“正在消失的語言”最能概括文章內容。]
C
American English and British English are similar in many ways．For example，most spellings and grammar rules are largely the same．However，the two languages are truly different in speech．Take the accents (口音) of Chris Evans，the star of Captain America，and Rowan Atkinson，who played Mr．Bean，as an example of how far the two languages differ in modern times．But have you ever wondered how this change happened
For that，we have to look at how both dialects began．According to the BBC，British English dates back to 449 AD，when the Saxons and the Angles—tribes (部落) from modern-day Germany and Denmark—entered Britain，replacing the ancient Celtic language．
As Celtic slowly faded，an early form of British English appeared with influences from French and Latin．It later became standard all over the UK following the appearance of writers like William Shakespeare．This went on to form British English as we know today．
However，in the USA，Britons' language，other European languages，and Native American words all formed the basis of the US English．New words also appeared．But they soon turned into a tool during the independence movement．In 1789，Noah Webster，a dictionary writer wrote，“As an independent nation，our honor requires us to have a system of our own，in language as well as government．”
After the independence movement，the US English kept changing based on neighboring cultures．This can still be seen through state names such as Delaware and Illinois，which were from Native American language，and Colorado and Nevada，which were influenced by Spanish in the 1800s．
These days，Britons and Americans still argue over terminology (術語) and spellings．But their differences form a key part of each nation's historical culture．Indeed，it shows the truth behind the sentence，“Britain and America are two nations divided by a common language．”
【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了英式英語與美式英語的形成及發展歷史，并指出兩者之間的關系：英國和美國是兩個被同一種語言分開的國家。
8．Why does the writer mention Chris Evans and Rowan Atkinson in paragraph 1
A．To tell us both of them are world-famous actors．
B．To show there are differences between the two types of English．
C．To inform us which kind of English each of them speaks．
D．To compare which English is used more widely now．
√
B　[推理判斷題。根據第一段中的“However，the two languages are truly different in speech...how far the two languages differ in modern times．”可推知，作者在第一段提到了克里斯·埃文斯和羅溫·阿特金森，是為了表明英式英語和美式英語是有差異的。]
9．What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 mean
A．Put down． B．Got popular．
C．Died out． D．Made changes．
√
C　[詞義猜測題。根據第二段中的“According to the BBC，British English dates back to 449 AD，when the Saxons and the Angles...replacing the ancient Celtic language．”以及畫線句子中的后半部分“an early form of British English appeared with influences from French and Latin”可知，凱爾特語慢慢消失了。由此可知，畫線詞faded與died out(滅亡、逐漸消失)意思接近。]
10．What do we know about the US English
A．It was based on several languages．
B．All its words came from other languages．
C．It led to the US independence movement．
D．Neighboring countries didn't influence it．
√
A　[細節理解題。根據第四段中的“However，in the USA，Britons' language...formed the basis of the US English．”可知，多種語言構成了美式英語的基礎。]
11．Which is the most suitable title for the passage
A．Discovering the Influence of English Languages
B．Arguing over the Spellings of English Languages
C．Exploring the Development of English Languages
D．Guessing at the Future of English Languages
√
C　[標題歸納題。根據第一段中的“American English and British English are similar in many ways...However，the two languages are truly different in speech．”及下文可知，本文以時間為線索，探索了英式英語和美式英語形成及發展的歷史，從而產生了兩者之間的差異。由此可知，Exploring the Development of English Languages最適合作本文標題。]
D
Over the last two days，much of Spain has been coated with dust (灰塵) ，and the skies have turned bright orange．A huge cloud of dust from the Sahara Desert is causing the strange weather．The dust cloud is expected to spread to other parts of Europe．
Across much of Spain on Tuesday morning，a thin layer (層) of red dust coated everything outside．From streets to sidewalks to balconies，everything was covered with a layer of dust．As the sun rose，the dust in the air turned the skies in some cities a strange orange．The cause of the dust and unusual sky colour wasn't a forest fire，but dust from the Sahara Desert．
Every year，a large cloud of dust rises from the Sahara Desert．It's called the Saharan Air Layer．Usually，it crosses the Atlantic Ocean as part of a natural cycle that helps develop farmland and beaches in Central and South America．
But sometimes，depending on the weather，the layer of dust gets forced to the north．Large sandstorms in northern Africa lift sand and dust into the air，where it gets blown towards Spain．Though the particles (微粒) in the air come from sand，they're much more like dust than sand at a beach．
These kinds of storms aren't unknown in Spain．In fact，it has a special name．It's called a “calima”．This calima is so large that it can be seen from space．A NASA scientist who studies weather in the atmosphere says it's like a river of dust in the air．That river of dust has met with a river of wet air driven by strong winds．
Spain's weather service described the dust storm as being “very intense (強烈的)”．At one point on Tuesday，the air quality in Madrid was the worst in the world．Government health experts warned people not to go outside without a mask，and to keep their windows and doors closed at home．
【語篇解讀】　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹撒哈拉沙塵暴席卷西班牙大部分國境，并探尋其原因。
12．What turned Spain's skies orange
A．A huge cloud．　　 B．Pollutants from Europe．

√
C　[細節理解題。根據第一段可知，撒哈拉沙漠吹來的沙塵暴導致西班牙境內的天空變為了橘黃色。]
13．What can we know about the Saharan Air Layer
A．It's helpful for farming．
B．It hits Spain every year．
C．It's from South America．
D．It leads to forest fires．
√

Why Is Chinese a Good Language to Learn
If there's one language in the world that's worth learning，it's the Chinese language．You must be wondering why． 16 6
Gain the job opportunities．
With the quick development for years，China has become the second largest economic power in the world while keeping closely connected with the west． 17 It helps a lot if you're looking to work in a company that includes dealing with Chinese buyers or suppliers．
Know about the history and culture．
18 In fact，China has had an important say in the history of the world．It's agreed that four great inventions—namely paper-making，printing，gunpowder and the compass—made their way from China to Europe via the famous Silk Road．To really understand the contribution of this part of the world and have a deep understanding of the history of Asia，speaking the language can be beneficial．
19 19
Chinese literature，both ancient and modern，comes from an entirely different cultural background than literature written in the West．To really appreciate (欣賞) it，however，you have to read it in the original language．Many works of Chinese literature haven't been translated into English，so you have no choice but to enjoy them as they stand．If you want to understand modern China，learning the Chinese language is important．
Enjoy the food．
In Britain，we're familiar with Chinese food — or at least，a westernized version of it．By learning the Chinese language，you'll start to understand exactly what all of those words on the menu mean．In time，you might feel more comfortable ordering something that's a little bit less familiar． 20 20
A．Translate the literature．
B．Appreciate the literature．
C．Here come a few good reasons to learn the language．
D．So the ability to speak Chinese language is pretty valuable．
E．China is home to the history and culture that runs for thousands of years．
F．You might even develop an appreciation for Chinese food for its different tastes．
G．Chinese culture has had a great influence on the world for thousands of years．

I looked around to see 23 expressions on their faces—that look of “I have NO idea what you just said，” which stops any teacher mid-lecture to 24 a concept further．
It was then that I found out that “prepone” was not a(n) 25 word
in English dictionaries．I believed that prepone mean the 26 of postpone — moving an event to an earlier time rather 27 an event．So when I realized it wasn't “proper” English，I was 28 ．It was a great 29 in my linguistic (語言的) self-image．

When Sophie left the grocery，it suddenly started raining—a heavy downpour．She had neither her jacket nor her umbrella．
Sophie held her paper bag over her head and made a rush．The rain hit her face as she ran up the street．As she stood waiting for the lights to change，Sophie glanced down and saw a child's toy lying on the sidewalk．She looked around，wondering who might have dropped it，but the street was deserted．What should she do She couldn't just leave it there．Sophie bent and picked up the toy—a grey elephant with a dirty label，and very wet．As the light went green，she had to make a quick decision．She held the elephant tightly and hurried on her way to her office．
“Why did you bring it with you？” Gemma asked while Sophie poured a coffee．“When they realise they've lost it，they'll probably return to the place．You should've displayed it where you found it．Somewhere noticeable．”
That made sense．“It was getting completely wet，” Sophie protested．“It might have been destroyed．”
“If you can't reunite it with its owner，” Gemma replied，“one toddler (學步兒童) is going to have trouble getting to sleep tonight without his elephant．”
Oh，dear! Sophie had tried to do a good thing，but acting on impulse (沖動) might not have been the best choice．She decided to go back at lunch—find somewhere to set it up high．For the rest of the morning she placed the elephant on the radiator (暖氣片) by her desk．At least it would be a bit drier by the time she took it back．But at lunch time，another heavy shower arrived．She picked up the toy elephant and gave its large ears a rub．
注意：續寫詞數應為150左右。
“What am I going to do with you？” she asked，staring at the toy．______________________________________________________

“What am I going to do with you？” she asked，staring at the toy．Suddenly，she came up with a plan．She decided to take a photo of the toy and post it on social media，hoping that someone would recognise it and help connect her with the owner．Sophie snapped a picture of the toy elephant，wrote a caption explaining the situation，and shared it on various local community groups and lost-and-found pages．Although Sophie received numerous messages and calls from different people，none of them turned out to be the right match．However，she remained hopeful and continued her search．Finally，one afternoon，Sophie received a call from a man．
The man on the phone，who said his name was Arthur，sounded excited．He explained that the toy was his child's cherished one and his description exactly matched that day's situation．Sophie arranged a meeting with the family，and upon seeing the joyous reunion between the child and her toy，she knew that her impulsive decision had ultimately led to a happy ending．From that day forward，Sophie learned the importance of thinking through her actions before acting on impulse．She also realised the power of community and social media in helping to solve problems and bring people together．

Ⅱ．讀后續寫(滿分25分)
閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Peter woke up early in the morning．He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible．
“Why are you in such a hurry，early bird？” Mum asked him．“We will have an English spelling test today，Mum，” Peter said．“Mr．White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores．I've been studying the word list since last week．Although the words are difficult，I am well prepared for them．”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove down．
Thirty words later，the test papers were collected by Mr．White．“I am to mark your papers now，” he told the class．After marking the test papers，Mr．White said，“Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores．Peter，David and Mary got 100 scores on the spelling test！” Mr．White praised them．Meanwhile，he gave the three students each a dictionary．Peter's was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best．Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered．“This is my happiest moment，” Peter thought．
After Mr．White gave the test paper back，Peter had a look at the words，feeling proud of his spelling．All of a sudden，the word “contribution” confused him．It didn't seem right．Peter began to compare them after taking out the wordlist．“C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n，”he whispered．He had spelled it wrong．
“What am I to do？” Peter said to himself．“I expect my classmates to think I'm a master in spelling．If I tell Mr．White one of my spelling words is wrong，I'll have to give my prize back，or I will become an example for telling a lie．” Staring at the red sign “100” which was written at his test paper，Peter was lost in thought．After a while，he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him，“We ought to be an honest person．”
注意：續寫詞數應為150左右。
Slowly，Peter raised his hand．____________________________

Peter looked around and found many of his classmates were smiling at him．

【參考范文】
Slowly，Peter raised his hand．“Mr．White，I didn't get 100 scores on the test．I missed a word．” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper．“I spelled contribution with ‘s-i’ instead of ‘t-i’．” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk．Mr．White held up Peter's test paper．“Class，” he said，“Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly on a test．” Mr．White smiled at Peter．“He taught us all a lesson on being honest．”
Peter looked around and found many of his classmates were smiling at him．“Peter，I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us，” Mr．White said．Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to Mr．White．Meanwhile，he couldn't wait to show it to Mum and tell her one of his best days ever．
謝 謝！
