A
(2020-2021学年人教新版综合能力测试)Almost from the time that the first Englishman set foot upon
American soil, our language began to evolve(进化). It is a continuous process throughout the centuries and has
produced a language that differs from our ancestors and shows a sign of our own feature(特点)and independence.
By 1790, there were four million Americans, 90% of whom were descendants(后代)of English colonists(殖民
地定居者). This, of course, left no question that our official native language would be “English,” but it would not
be the same as that spoken in Great Britain.
By 1720, the English colonists began to notice that their language was quite different from that spoken in their
Mother land. How did that come to be?
There are many reasons, the most obvious being the distance from England. Over the years, many words were
borrowed from the Native Americans, as well as other people from France, Germany, Spain, and other countries.
Other words that became unused in England continued to be used in the colonies. In other cases, words simply had
to be created in order to explain the unfamiliar landscape, weather, animals, plants, and living conditions that these
early pioneers went through.
To our newly independent Americans, they were proud of their “new” American language, wearing it, as yet,
another symbol of independence. In 1789, Noah Webster wrote in his Dissertations on the English Language:
“The reasons for American English being different than British English are simple: As an independent nation,
our honor required us to have a system of our own, in language as well as government.”
The evolution of the American language continued into the 20th century, as well as the American pride.

(2020·江苏高三月考)Chinese pronunciation puzzled experts in China for a long, long time. How do you
recover the sounds immortalized in classical texts? How do you make the old poems rhyme again?
A scholar, Chen Li, reconstructed the language in the 1840s. He's facing a centuries-old problem. He examined
the book closely in front of him. It looked old, untidy even. But it had quite a backstory. 1261 years earlier, Lu
Fayan outlined what would become the Qieyun. He broke down the sound of each character with two more
characters! An upper character to match the initial consonant. And a lower character to rhyme with the final sounds,
including the tone. With fanqie, you can capture the sound of a syllable! Simple. And clever.But it didn't give an overview of Chinese phonology. Rhymers needed to take another step: organize this
information into tables The 12h century Rhyme Mirror is full of rime tables. The starting label gives the table
number and the kind of rhyme these syllables have. Along the top row are six articulation categories for consonants.
And down the side, the four tones. Though the interpretation is debated, confident scholars spent centuries
sounding out ancient Chinese syllables and teaching that Chinese had exactly 36 initial consonants.
But Chen Li’s not convinced. He’s combing through old fanqie and his research revealed flaws.
There weren’t 36 initials There were 41. Five of them needed to be split in two. But there’s more: the sounds
in the rime tables are not the sounds in the Qieyun. Later research will go on to show that even the earlier stage
itself is complicated. It’s a compromise between ancient literary dialects. All this hard work merely left us with
categories.
In the early 1900s, a Swede, Karlgren, traveled to China and added an important piece. He filled out the rime
categories with real sounds. Linguists went on to refine these reconstructions of Ancient Chinese. They even
revealed small but important distinctions, like chongniu. Actually, it's not a single language called Ancient Chinese.
It's a period in linguistic history called Middle Chinese. Because there's an even older language to uncover, a
thousand years older sill.
Maybe one day we’ll rhyme our way into Old Chinese.
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章讲的是针对中国文字发音体系的研究，讲了以陈力还有Karlgren为代
表的语音学家的研究成果。

(2021·陕西高三)The International Mother Language Day is on February 21st and it was created by the United
Nations to help preserve indigenous(土著的)languages around the world.
Due to globalization, indigenous languages are increasingly under threat of extinction. Every two weeks a
language disappears, taking with it an entire culture’s heritage and thus diminishing the world’s cultural diversity.
At least 43 percent of the estimated 6000 languages spoken in the world are endangered, only a few hundred are
formally taught and used and fewer than 100 are used in the digital world, according to UNESCO.
Like languages around the world, indigenous Australian languages are under increasing threat of extinction.
The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies understands that in Australia, there weremore than 250 indigenous Australian languages, including 800 dialects, or local variations, at the time of European
settlement in 1788. Today only about 13 indigenous Australian languages have enough young people speaking them
for them to survive.
Indigenous languages everywhere are much more than just a way of communicating. Yuin woman Anne
Martin, educator and former national NAIDOC Committee Co-Chair, described indigenous languages as “the
breath of life”. “Indigenous languages are not just a means of communication, they express knowledge about
everything: Law, geography, history, family and human relationships, philosophy, religion, anatomy, childcare,
health, caring for country, astronomy, biology and food. Each language is associated with an area of land and has a
deep spiritual significance, and it is through their own languages that indigenous nations maintain their connection
with their ancestors, land and law,” she said in an interview published by La Trobe University.
International Mother Language Day has been observed every year since February 2000. In 2019, the theme is:
“Indigenous languages matter for development, peace building and reconciliation(和解)”. One of UNESCO’s goals
for that year’s International Mother Language Day is to collect proverbs in as many of the world’s indigenous
languages as possible. The proverbs were compiled and the most appropriate ones published by the UN on its
website and other publications. And the theme for International Mother Language Day 2020 is “Languages without
borders”.
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了国际母语日的相关内容。2月21日是国际母语日，该节日
由联合国发起，旨在帮助保护世界各地的土著语言。每两个星期就有一种语言消失，整个文
化遗产也随之消失，世界文化的多样性也随之减少。然而，土著语言不仅仅是一种交流手段，
还表达出了包罗万象各个领域的知识。于是，旨在保护土著语言的国际母语日诞生了。
8.What does the underlined word “diminishing” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Decrease. B. Add. C. Create. D. Replace.
【答案】A
【解析】词义猜测题。分析划线单词所在句“Every two weeks a language disappears, taking with it an
entire culture’s heritage and thus diminishing the world’s cultural diversity.”可知，句中“thus”意为
“因此”，由此可知，“diminishing the world’s cultural diversity”为之前句“Every two weeks a
language disappears, taking with it an entire culture’s heritage”造成的结果，结合之前句含义为“每
两个星期就有一种语言消失，整个文化遗产也随之消失 ”，由此可推知，语言消失，就会造成
该语言代表的文化的消失，进一步会造成世界文化不再那么多样性，即，世界多样性的减少。
由此可推知，划线单词“diminishing”应是“减少”含义，与选项A“decrease(减少)”表达含义一致。故选A项。
9.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The increasing number of indigenous languages.
B. The development of indigenous languages.
C. The endangered situation of indigenous languages.
D. The popularity of indigenous languages.
【答案】C
【解析】主旨大意题。通过阅读文章第三段内容可知，该段第一句为该段主旨句，“Like languages
around the world, indigenous Australian languages are under increasing threat of extinction.(与世界各
地的语言一样，澳大利亚土著语言正面临越来越大的灭绝威胁。)”，即，该段主要围绕澳大利
亚土著语言面临的灭绝威胁进行讲述的。选项 C“The endangered situation of indigenous
languages.(土著语言的濒危状况。)”概括了该段主旨。故选C项。
10.What does Anne Martin think of indigenous languages?
A. They are just used for communication with each other.
B. They are loosely connected with their ancestors, land and law.
C. They are very important for indigenous nations all over the world.
D. They are about not only communication but knowledge about all fields.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容中Anne Martin的话“Indigenous languages are not just a means
of communication, they express knowledge about everything: Law, geography, history, family and
human relationships, philosophy, religion, anatomy, childcare, health, caring for country, astronomy,
biology and food.(土著语言不仅仅是一种交流手段，它们表达的知识包罗万象：法律、地理、历
史、家庭和人际关系、哲学、宗教、解剖学、儿童保育、保健、照料国家、天文学、生物学和
食物。)”可知，在她看来，土著语言不仅仅是一种交流手段，还表达出了包罗万象的各个领域
的知识。故选D项。
11.What is the best title for the text?
A. The Theme of International Mother Language Day.
B. An Introduction of International Mother Language Day.
C. The Protection of Indigenous Languages in the World.

indigenous languages around the world.( 2月21日是国际母语日，该节日由联合国发起，旨在帮
助保护世界各地的土著语言。)”，即，文章主要围绕“国际母语日”这一为了保护世界各地的
土著语言的节日而讲述的，并在后文段落讲到了其起因和目的。选项 B“An Introduction of
International Mother Language Day.(国际母语日简介。)”贴合文章主旨要义。故选B项。
D
(2021·全国高三)Invented by French teenager Louis Braille in 1824, Braille has enabled blind kids worldwide
to learn to read and write. However, the system of raised dots, representing letters and numbers, can be hard for
younger students to learn. As a result, parents and educators are increasingly avoiding this system, which is taught
using special textbooks, in favor of online learning programs. Now, Denmark’s LEGO Foundation hopes to change
the trend with the help of braille bricks(盲文积木).
The braille bricks are similar to original building blocks. However, the bricks with numbers and letters printed
on the bottom allowed blind and sighted players to build together. Though the bricks can be stacked together to
form a crossword game or attached to one another to form words, they are unlike the regular ones. Therefore, the
company recommends placing the bricks side-by-side. Each set of about 250 pieces includes letters A-Z, the
numbers 0-9, as well as basic symbols like the “plus” and “minus” signs. Special pieces are also included so kids
can play word and math games.
Blind kids have dreams about their future just as sighted children. They have the same desire to explore the
world and socialize through play. In the Foundation, children can learn best through play and, in turn, develop their
skills, such as creativity and communication. With this project, the foundation is bringing a playful and inclusive
approach to learning braille to children.
Kids are not the only ones benefiting from LEGO’s invention this year. It can benefit adults as well. For those
not into gaming, there is “Lego Art”. The art enables adults to create pop art “posters” by arranging these bricks on
a canvas(画布). The offering includes Andy W arhol’s Marilyn Monroe，Marvel Studio’s Iron Man, and The
Beatles. Each set comes with the appropriate music, interviews, and background information, providing fans with
an unforgettable experience as they create their masterpieces.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了由于学习布莱叶盲文对孩子们来说很难，许多家长和教
育工作者都在避免使用这种盲文来教授孩子。丹麦的乐高公司正通过利用盲文积木来改变这
一现象。
12.Why do educators avoid teaching in braille?A. Braille becomes out of date in reality. B. Braille is difficult for blind kids to master.
C. They are not good at it at all. D. The special textbooks are expensive.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, the system of raised dots, representing letters and
numbers, can be hard for younger students to learn. As a result, parents and educators are increasingly
avoiding this system.”(然而，代表字母和数字的凸点系统对年幼的学生来说很难学习。因此，家
长和教育工作者越来越避免使用这种系统。)可知布莱叶盲文对孩子们来说有难度。故选B。
13.What does the underlined word “stacked” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Piled. B. Crashed. C. Pushed. D. Crossed.
【答案】A
【解析】词义猜测题。分析画线词所在句“Though the bricks can be stacked together to form a crossword
game or attached to one another to form words, they are unlike the regular ones.”(虽然这些砖块可以
stacked在一起形成一个纵横字谜游戏，或者连接在一起形成单词，但它们不同于普通的砖块。)
结构可知stacked与attached在本句中意思相关，且砖块通过be stacked together后就能形成一个
纵横字谜游戏。由此可推知，画线词意为“堆积，堆满”，与A项意思相近。故选A。
14.What are blind kids expected to do in the LEGO Foundation?
A. Pursue their hobbies. B. Form their habits. C. Develop their skills. D. Play for fun.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中“In the Foundation, children can learn best through play and, in turn,
develop their skills, such as creativity and communication.”(在LEGO Foundation，孩子们可以通过
玩耍获得最好的学习效果，反过来，也可以发展他们的技能，如创造力和沟通能力。)可知，在
LEGO Foundation，孩子们可以发展他们在创造力和沟通能力之类的技能。故选C。
15.How can adults benefit from the braille bricks?
A. They can play games together with their kids.
B. They can get more information from those bricks.
C. They can create some artworks based on the offering.
D. They can impress themselves with a wonderful scene.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It can benefit adults as well. For those not into gaming, there is
‘Lego Art’. The art enables adults to create pop art ‘posters’ by arranging these bricks on a canvas.”(它
也可以造福成年人。对于那些不喜欢游戏的人，还有“乐高艺术”。这种艺术可以让成年人通
过将这些砖块排列在画布上创作波普艺术“海报”。)可知，成年人从拼乐高积木的过程中获得的益处是他们可以将其拼成一些艺术作品。故选C。

(2021·浙江高一开学考试)Chinese is one of the two world languages with over a billion speakers. While
the Internet has referred to English as the most used language, Chinese still holds the top position as the most used
mother tongue. 1 Just think of how many more people you’d be able to talk to after learning some
Chinese!
There are five traditional forms of Chinese calligraphy. These are considered classical arts and representatives
of Chinese art styles. 2 It first appeared during the Zhou Dynasty and is still popular among calligraphy
artists today, 3 This makes it quite difficult for non-native speakers to tell words from sound
combinations(组合).When you add in the tones, it adds up to make Chinese one of the most difficult languages to
listen to and understand.
Various factors contributed to making Chinese one of the hardest languages to learn for foreigners. 4
Usually, you must learn 3,000 characters in order to be considered fluent enough to read the morning newspaper.
However, the language consists of tens of thousands of characters that make fluency a difficult task.
When you’re walking around China, you might be surprised at the amount of words you’re able to pick up
quickly. Thanks to an increase in exposure to Western culture, Chinese has many loanwords, or words borrowed
from English, in use today.
The origin of Chinese comes from the discovery of the famous Oracle Bones and what is believed to be the
earliest symbols of Chinese. These bones were first used in the Shang Dynasty. With such a rich history, Chinese
has obviously experienced many changes and influences due to wars and cultural shifts (变迁). 5
A. Ancient Chinese characters were used 3,000 years ago.
B. However, the language still existed and continued to grow.
C. In 2010, the number of Chinese native speakers totaled 955 million people.
D. People who wish to study Chinese must put in years of work to reach fluency.
E. Thanks to its unique sound system, Chinese is filled with similar sounding words.
F. The world’s most natively-spoken language, Chinese, still remains a puzzle to the West.

(改编自2021·广东深圳中学高三)Fifteen years ago, apps were new and few truly understood their
potentials. Retailers(零售商)barely knew that consumers could browse in stores while comparing 1 from
other providers through apps before 2 making the purchase online. Ten years ago brick-mortar-and(实体
店)retailers were threatened as Amazon released an “evil” promotion that encouraged consumers to use Price
Check app while visiting 3 stores. Any purchase completed through the app was given rewarding 4, which significantly stimulated sales and 5 many shop owners to bankruptcy(破产).
“Media have reported these apps as a threat to physical stores,” says a retailer. “However, less 6 is the
fact that it is also an opportunity for us.” Retailers need to accept any sensible buyer tends to 7 prices.
You’d better offer in-store Internet access to 8 these consumers. With caring services combined with
acceptable prices, the store might persuade consumers to make the deal 9 .
A study indicates it’s 10 to limit the item price to at most 5 dollars higher than what online stores
charge. After all, for some consumers, getting the absolute lowest price is not their 11 . Many of them,
instead, are willing to pay 12 in exchange for favorable shopping experiences, such as the pleasant store
atmosphere with a reasonable price 13 .
Besides, adopting a strategy of 14 channels is also essential. With many sale channels under control,
retailers surely have access to the lowest price. Therefore, when a customer pulls out a mobile device in store,
retailers can be spared the 15 that was unavoidable for them ten years ago.

can still read books.

the age of three as a result 4 an injury. When he was ten, he went to a school for the blind in Paris.
In 1821, a soldier visited the school and showed the students a system for passing messages at night during

【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。讲述了Louis Braille发明盲文的原因、过程和盲文的重要作用。
1.【答案】However
【解析】考查副词。然而，这并不总是正确的。前后句是转折关系，和下句用逗号隔开，故填
However。句意：通常，当我们谈到阅读时，我们想到的是用眼睛看到纸上用墨水写的字母。
2.【答案】introducing
【解析】考查非谓语动词。句中已有动词was，此处用非谓语动词。句中The man和动词introduce是主
动关系，用现在分词作定语。故填introducing。句意：向盲人介绍阅读的人是Louis Braille。
3.【答案】lost
【解析】考查动词的时态。根据时间状语at the age of three可知是讲述Braille三岁时发生的事，用一般
过去时。故填过去式lost。
4.【答案】of
【解析】考查介词短语中的介词。as a result of因为，由于，结果，故填of。句意：Braille在三岁时由于
受伤而失去了视力。
5.【答案】raised【解析】考查非谓语动词。raised dots凸起的圆点，故填raised。句意： 他的系统使用的是带有小而凸
起的圆点的纸，这些点可以用手指触摸到。
6.【答案】was represented
【解析】考查词性转换(动词)及其时态和语态。Each letter of the alphabet是句子的主语，故这里缺少谓语
动词；再根据时间In 1821可知用过去时，又Each letter和动词represent是被动关系，在句中作
谓语，故填一般过去时的被动形式was represented。句意：字母表中的每个字母都由12个点组
成的不同图案表示。
7.【答案】interesting
【解析】考查词性转换(形容词)。此处指学生们发现这个士兵的想法很有趣，用形容词作宾补。修饰指
物的名词idea用-ing结尾的形容词，故填interesting。
8.【答案】practical
【解析】考查词性转换(形容词)。修饰名词use，用形容词practical。句意：句意：虽然学生们觉得这个
士兵的想法很有趣，但这个系统太难了不实用。
9.【答案】easily
【解析】考查副词。此处修饰动词recognize用副词，指“容易识别”。故填easily。句意：盲人用手指
很容易识别盲文。
10.【答案】it
【解析】考查代词的指代。句中真正的主语是不定式to read and write，用it做形式主语。故填It。句意：
现在，对他们来说，读和写是最常见的系统。

【答案】
Dear Jim,
I’m glad that you are interested in Chinese characters.
Different from western languages, Chinese characters stand for ideas, as they’ve developed from drawings.
According to an ancient story, a man named Cang Jie saw the tracks of animals in the snow and got the idea of
using shapes to represent objects. That’s how Chinese characters were invented. Some characters have been
simplified while others have been made more difficult over time. And more characters have been developed.
Hope you’ll enjoy learning Chinese characters.
Yours,
Li Hua

(2020·河北高三期中)阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短
文。
Willie Wilson would always live lite to the fullest. He was Mr. Popular at school, the star of his middle school
basketball team, with dreams of going national team. At 13, his life changed. He couldn’t see the words on the
blackboard clearly in class. He couldn’t read books without difficulty. Soon he hardly recognized his schoolmates
in the halls.
His parents took him to the eye doctor. Willie could still slam-dunk like no one else, so they thought there was
nothing serious to worry about. Maybe he just needed glasses. But it kept getting worse. By 15, he was almost
completely blind.
Willie didn’t handle the situation very well. He came home drunk and picked fights at school with anyone who
dared to make fun of his blindness. “I was trying to show everyone that there was nothing wrong with me, ” he
says. “To prove that I was still the same ‘Thrill Willie Wilson’.”That denial was blown away one Sunday when
Willie heard news on TV. At 18, he gave his life to the Lord and read books in Braille, finding comfort in God’s
special love for those who are weak. He went to college and was a changed man.His progress was stopped, though. He started to lose his hearing in the same way he had lost his eyesight. By
21, he was blind and deaf. He dropped out of school, stopped education and moved back home with his parents.
This time, the doctors were able to tell the cause of his symptoms-a brain tumor.
Willie’s world became doctors’ appointments, hospitals and surgeries. His spare time was spent recalling in
his childhood bedroom. His friends disappeared. He challenged himself to learn American Sign Language so he
could communicate with others by feeling their hands. His parents and relatives found signing difficult, though.
Instead, they drew letters into his hand. Willie grew frustrated by the lack of meaningful conversation.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

【答案】
His grandfather Willie Wilson, Sr., encouraged him not to lose hope. “You can’t see or hear as well as others,”
he told Willie, “but you can do anything you set your mind to do.” But Willie didn’t listen to his grandfather’s
words. He couldn’t even fold his own clothes or make himself a sandwich. “I just stayed in my bed,” he recalls. His
faith in his dreams was fading, like the way his sight and hearing had.
However, an organization specially designed for the disabilities helped him regain his confidence and live a
positive life. He moved into one of the 15 apartments at the organization. He finally found what he’d been so
desperate to regain—his independence. These days, Willie is Mr. Popular once again. His signing is improving and
he often talks with his friends with his sharp sense of humor. He cooks meals and does his own laundry. Willie says,
“I’m able to take care of my own business. I’m living life in my own way now—Willie style!”
