Ⅰ. 阅读理解
If you’ve been studying it for a while, you’ve probably worked out that there is more than one type of “English”. Everyone knows English is the national language, for example, but did you know that India has the second largest number of English speakers, followed by Nigeria?
Like most languages, the two main factors that affect the way
people speak English are geographical (where they are in the world) and social (the way their parents, friends and other people they talk to).
That’s why in the UK, people from London speak differently from people who live in Manchester, but there are also lots of different accents within London, and they depend on social class.
Australian English and South African English are good examples of how English is different from all over the world. These accents sound “funny” to some other speakers of English, because they have been more influenced by other languages and accents. For example, Australian English was strongly influenced by Irish convicts(罪犯) sent by the British to Australia, who also brought their slang (俚语) with them. Australian English is also influenced by the Aboriginal(土著的)language, so it includes words like “Kangaroo” and “Billabong” (a large pool of water in the outback).
So, how a Chinese student chooses which accent to use? Well, to an Australian like me, British English sounds more academic and educated than American English. American English sounds cooler, though—it’s the language of popular culture and blockbuster movies.
In the end, the choice is yours, just remember to keep up. 【文章大意】本文主要讲述了世界上不只有一种英语。 1. What’s the best title for the passage? A. English comes in different forms
