23、couple of signs found on local buses that have recently become a hit online may say otherwise.Quite different from English we know, the signs read, for example, “Here cannot go in” instead of “No entry”, and “Here can charge phone” instead of “Charge phone here”. This language that resembles English
24、 is called Singaporean English or Singlish.The New York Times calls Singlish “patchwork” because Singapore consists of migrants(移民) from several countries including China, India and Malaysia, and they all speak their own versions of “English”.“Everyone who speaks it shapes it,” wrote the newspaper.F
25、or example, in Singlish, you can easily recognize influences from Chinese, including vocabulary such as “mee siam” and “da bao”. Sentence structures like “toilet where” instead of “wheres the toilet” also come from Chinese.Interesting and diverse as it may seem, the trend for Singlish is worrying Si
26、ngapores government. It is concerned that the dialect is lowering the countrys English standard and may affect its relationship with visitors. It even started the Speak Good English Movement.Unfortunately, the problem was not solved. Instead, Singlish has boomed, especially among young people who th
27、ink of it as a sign of being cool and a way of identifying themselves as Singaporean.But this does not mean that standard English is being abandoned by young people. In fact, they are much more capable than the government gives creditthey can speak both.“We are a nation good at code switchingwe know
28、 that the way we speak to friends or drivers must be different from how we act at work or school,” wrote Cheryl, a Singaporean author, in Time magazine, “To actively urge us to give up a language that speaks to the very heart of who we are, and that so beautifully represents the melting pot of Chine
29、se, Indians, Malaysians and Eurasians that we are, is short-sighted, surely.”1.Why does Singapore have many different versions of English?A.It is made up of migrants. B.It is highly westernized.C.It is influenced by Chinese. D.It is affected by official languages.2.What is the purpose of starting th
30、e Speak Good English Movement?A. To stop the new trend. B.To better the relationship.C. To keep the English standard. D.To give the government credit.3.What do the young people think of Singlish?A. Its interesting. B. Its their identity. C. Its a sign of status. D. Its a way of code switching.4.What
31、 can we learn from what Cheryl said?A. Different people speak different styles of Singlish.B. Singlish is a more beautiful language than others.C. People speak Singlish only to friends and drivers.D. People can use Singlish to express themselves well.BNo evidence shows that the key to learning a new
32、 language is surrounding yourself with native speakers of that language. But what if those native speakers are Dora the Explorer?It turns out television and radio might be even better tools for new language learners than previously thought. According to two recent studies by Scientific American, it
33、is possible to further your understanding of a new language without actively practising or fully paying attention.For starters, the research published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America suggests that language learners who focus continuously on learning new sounds keep no more inform
34、ation than those who take occasional breaks. While one group of study participants practised distinguishing three difficult Hindi sounds for one hour a day over the course of several days, another group alternately(交替地) spent 10 minutes on learning and 10 minutes on an intentionally distracting(使人分心
35、的) task as the Hindi sounds played in the background. When tested on the sounds, the distracted group performed just as well as the focused group.And a following study published in the Journal of Memory and Language further validates the power of inactive learning. Researchers found that Spanish stu
36、dents learning the Basque accent improved less when they were instructed to repeat sounds back during their training; listening to new sounds silently actually resulted in better memory.So, is it time to lay off your tutor and buy a box set of Corazon Salvaje? Not quite. While this growing body of r
37、esearch suggests inactive language learning is an amazing tool in your language learning, the value of focused practice cannot be ignored. “You need to come to class and pay attention,” says Melissa Baese-Berk, a language expert and co-author of one of the studies, “But when you go home, turn on the
38、 TV or turn on the radio in that language while youre cooking dinner, and even if youre not paying total attention to it, its going to help you.”So get out there and learn but not too hard. While youre at it,it wouldnt hurt to improve your grammar skills.5.What are the findings of the recent studies
39、 about?A. Television and radio are the only tools for language learning.B. Inactive learning plays a great role in learning new languages.C. Full attention contributes to greater achievement of language learning.D. It is important to communicate with native speakers when learning new languages.6.The
40、 underlined word “validates” in Paragraph 4 refers to “ ”. A. confirms B. contradicts C. indicates D. assumes7.What is Melissa Baese-Berks attitude towards inactive language learning?A. Doubtful. B. Favourable. C.Indifferent. D. Disapproving.8.Which practice does the author probably approve?A. Givin

45、 are unavoidable, but do your best to avoid unnecessary quarrels. This may mean that you have to bite your tongue when one of your parents says something controversial. 12 If it is, make the point clearly and modestly in order to avoid an overly emotional argument. Dont ask for their advice unless y
46、ou really want it.
