When is the correct time to use the article (冠词) “a” and “an” We know “a bike” and “an apple”. But is it “a URL” or “an URL” What exactly is the rule Despite the confusion on when to use these two words, the rule regarding their use is actually quite simple.
The basic rule for using “a” in a sentence is: Use “a” before words, or letters that begin with a sound of a consonant (辅音字母), regardless of their spelling, such as a dog, a university, a CBS news report.
The important part is the sound of the word that follows, not necessarily the letter with which it starts. The above examples have words that begin with vowels (元音字母) and consonants, but we use “a” for all of them because they begin with the sound of a consonant.
“An” is used before words, or letters that begin with a vowel sound, regardless of their spelling, such as an idea, an honor, an HTML document.
The rule only becomes tricky when you have a vowel with a consonant sound or a consonant with a vowel sound. When you come across these, ignore what the first letter is and just listen to the sound that it makes.
What if an adjective (形容词) is added in front of a noun (名词) Some people aren’t sure how to apply this rule when an adjective appears before the noun being referred to. The same rule still applies. “A” is used before words starting in consonant sounds and “an” is used before words starting with vowel sounds. It doesn’t matter if the word is an adjective, a noun, or anything else; the rule is exactly the same.
25.What’s the purpose of paragraph 1
A.To bring up the topic. B.To bring forward a suggestion.
C.To explain the importance of rules. D.To tell the background of the text.
26.What determines the choice between “a” and “an”
A.The first letter of the noun. B.The spellings of the noun.
C.The first letter after them. D.The first sound after them.
27.What can be learnt about the rule mentioned in the text
A.It varies from context to context. B.It confuses only native speakers.
C.It is simple but sometimes tricky. D.It is not in common use grammatically.
28.How is the text mainly developed
A.By making comparisons. B.By giving explanations and examples.
C.By applying previous data. D.By bringing out the facts and reasons.
What would you do if someone did something you didn’t agree with Would you completely stop talking to them Or would you tell them how their actions were wrong
The “cancel culture” trend has been picking up some steam recently. According to Dictionary.com, “cancel culture” is defined as “publicly rejecting, boycotting or ending support for particular people or groups because of their socially or morally unacceptable views or actions”.
Neelam, a 17-year-old high school senior in the US, told The New York Times that she wasn’t being sensitive when she saw someone doing something wrong and “called them out” for it.
However, others think that “canceling” people is counterproductive and can actually be harmful to the person.
To Ben, a high school junior in Providence, Rhode Island, US, canceling someone “takes away the option for them to learn from their mistakes and kind of alienates them”. Ben, 17, thinks that people should be held accountable for their actions, regardless if they are your friend or someone famous.
In fact, quite a few celebrities have already faced the wrath of cancel culture. Some celebrities who have been “canceled” this year include British author of the Harry Potter series J.K. Rowling, US comedian Ellen DeGeneres and English guitarist Eric Clapton.
And, over the summer, about 150 public figures like authors J.K. Rowling and Margaret Atwood signed an open letter against the cancel culture trend. The letter expressed that cancel culture was hurting people’s freedom of expression in areas like the arts, universities and journals.
Professor Loretta Ross, who teaches a university course on cancel culture, is trying to fight back against this new trend. “It really does alienate people, and makes them fearful of speaking up,” she told The New York Times. Ross also noted that cancel culture isn’t new: “What’s new is the virality and the speed and the anonymity.”
Our world is beautiful because of the wonderful mix of different cultures, ideas and opinions. So, the next time you think someone should be “called out” or “canceled”, maybe try calling them in instead.
29.What does the underlined sentence most probably mean in paragraph 3
A.She realized canceling a person was harmful. B.She thought it was reasonable to cancel a person.
C.She didn’t think it was fair to cancel a person. D.She thought we shouldn’t cancel a person.
30.Which of the following would Ben most probably agree with
A.Cancel culture doesn’t help with a person’s growth.
B.Cancel culture encourages people to reflect on their mistakes.
C.Canceling people applies to all, whether they are friends or celebrities.
D.Cancel culture makes people unfriendly toward each other.
31.What does Professor Loretta Ross imply
A.People should be careful in expressing their opinions.
B.Cancel culture enables people to speak up freely.
C.The meaning of cancel culture changes with the times.
D.The Internet has made cancel culture more powerful.
32.What does the article mainly talk about
A.The origin of cancel culture. B.Why cancel culture is harmful.
C.The issue of cancel culture. D.Why cancel culture is trendy.
As more and more people speak the global languages of English,Chinese, Spanish,and Arabic,other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss,scholars from a number of organizations — UNESCO and National Geographic among them — have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center,Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials — including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes — which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now, through the two organizations that he has founded — the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project — Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world,available not just to scholars but to the youngers.
Generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.
33.Many scholars are making efforts to________.
A.promote global language B.rescue disappearing languages
C.search for language communities D.set up language research organizations
34.What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.Having full records of the languages. B.Writing books on language teaching.
C.Telling stories about language users. D.Living with the native speakers.
35.What is Turin’s book based on
A.The cultural studies in India. B.The documents available at Yale.
C.His language research in Bhutan. D.His personal experience in Nepal.
36.Which of the following best describes Turin’s work
A.Write, sell and donate. B.Record, repair and reward.
C.Design, experiment and report. D.Collect, protect and reconnect.
五、七选五
A lot of people think that they are not good at learning a new language. 37
Good language learners look for opportunities to hear and use the new language outside of the classroom on a daily basis and consequently learn the language more quickly. 38 For instance, they can talk to salesmen, join sports clubs, or even talk to people in coffee stores. They might read newspapers and magazines in that language, watch movies, listen to podcasts, or join chat rooms. All of these are great opportunities to practice and can also be fun.
In addition, good language learners try different ways to make their message understood. For example, if they do not know the word for “laundromat,” they might say “the place where you can wash clothes.” 39 The point is that good language learners are creative and do not easily give up.
Finally, good language learners are prepared to take risks. 40 As a result, instead of being embarrassed by a mistake or getting frustrated when they do not understand, they see it as gaining a learning opportunity. For example, if they do not understand what someone said the first time, they are not afraid to ask them to repeat it again and again until they do understand. Or, if someone corrects their vocabulary or grammar, they try to remember instead of becoming shy about speaking.
41 It cannot be done in just a few months. Hopefully, these methods will help you be a good and confident language learner in the long run.
A.Becoming fluent in a language takes time.
B.But we can learn a new language through looking up new words.
C.If that does not work, they might even try drawing it or acting it out.
D.Besides, good language learners use various ways to learn English words.
E.They understand that making mistakes is natural and is necessary to learn.
F.If they’re studying in a country where the language is spoken, this is easy to do.
G.However, we can learn from good language learners to become better at languages.

As an enthusiastic language learner, Tony likes learning Chinese most though it is not his first language. He has found it easy to learn Chinese well since he began to learn it. He can understand nearly everything his Chinese teacher says in class. However, he didn’t realize that he would misunderstand it until one day, when he was in China.
Last year, Tony went to China as an exchange student from his hometown England. There he stayed with a Chinese family, whose members treated him well and were always friendly to him. They often showed him around the city and treated him to some traditional Chinese food, which made him feel lucky to meet such a generous and kind family.

62.Hello everyone,
It’s my pleasure to share some experience with you about how to learn English well.
Firstly, perseverance is the key factor in the improvement of English abilities. If you keep learning English every day, gradually you will make great progress. Secondly, practice more. As the old saying goes, “Practice makes perfect.” It is of importance to take every chance to use English. Thirdly, speak English as much as possible in and out of class. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. In a word, the more frequently you use English, the faster you can master it well.
I hope these suggestions may be helpful to you.
63.One possible version:
One afternoon, his host brother said excitedly, “Guess what We will have Lion’s Head and Ants Climbing Trees for dinner.” “What Lion’s head and ants ” Tony opened his eyes wide and couldn’t believe his ears. “How dare we eat a lion’s head and such small ants ” He thought it in confusion and felt a little terrified. His host brother looked at his expression on his face, just smiling as if he had seen through Tony’s mind. Then came the dinner time.Tony sat at table with his host family, waiting for the dishes to come. However, he saw neither a lion’s head nor ants until the last dish was served. Actually, Lion’s Head is meatballs, while Ants Climbing Trees is Sauteed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork. With a sense of relief, he told them what he had thought.
After hearing his words, they couldn’t help laughing and his host mother said, “These expressions are so interesting that often cause misunderstandings. Are there some words or phrases in English that will cause misunderstandings ” “Yeah, I think so.” Tony laughed, too, remembering some interesting English expressions, “Once I told my Chinese friend I had a frog in my throat, and she stared at me in disbelief, asking me how I could eat so big a frog.” “So what does that mean ” His host family members all felt confused, full of doubts. Tony smiled, saying “That just means a sore throat. Sometimes ‘wicked’ means ‘fantastic’ and ‘not bad’ means ‘good’. “Incredible! So every language has its uniqueness and should be respected. Let’s drink to the greatness of Chinese and English.” Tony’s host father stood up, raising his glass. All of them stood up and raised their glasses, enjoying the most wonderful moment.
