更多“Since languages have to be designed to suit human weaknesses, it bas to be designed for ba”相关的问题
第1题
I have learned many languages, but I have not mastered them the way a professional interpreter or translator has. Still, they have opened doors for me. They have allowed me the opportunity to seek jobs in international contexts and help me get those jobs. Like many people who have lived overseas for a while, I simply got crazy about it. I can’t imagine living my professional or social life without international interactions. Since 1977, I have spent much more time abroad than in the United States. I like going to new places, eating new foods and experiencing new cultures. If you can speak the language, it’s easier to get to know the country and its people. If I had the time and money, I would live for a year in as many countries as possible.
Beyond my career, my facility with languages has given me a few rare opportunities. Once just after I returned from my year in Vienna, I was asked to translate for a German judge at an Olympic level horse event. I learned a lot about the sport. In Japan, once when I was in the studio audience of a TV cooking show, I was asked to go up on the stage and taste the beef dish that was being prepared and tell what I thought. They asked, “Was it as good as American beef？” It was very exciting for me to be on Japanese TV speaking in Japanese about how delicious the beef was.
A.She enjoys teaching languages.
B.She can speak several languages.
C.She was trained to be an interpreter.
D.She was born with a talent for languages.

第3题
W1: Yes, Professor Baker, I speak Spanish and French.
M: And what helped you most in learning those languages？
W1: What helped me most ... well, I studied both languages in high school, and I'm still studying Spanish here at the University, but I think that travel has probably been the most help to me. You see, I've been lucky in that I've lived in Europe. Believe me, I didn't speak very well before I moved there. What do you think of this, Jill？
W2: You're right, Betty, after studying a language, practice is very useful. When you live in a country where the language is spoken, it's ideal. But, you know, sometimes it's difficult to make friends in a new place, even then the people are very friendly.
W1: Yes, I know what you mean. Especially if you don't speak the language too well. I had some problems when I first moved to Europe.
W2: And, of course, some people are shy.
W: That's true.
W2: Professor Baker, whether or not I'm in a country where the language is spoken, I always go to the movies, and whenever I can, 1 watch TV or listen to the radio in the language I'm trying to learn.
W2: Me too. And reading is another way to learn. Books are good, but I think that newspapers and magazines are even better.
M: Probably the best way to learn is to combine all of these ideas: traveling, talking with people, going to movies, watching TV, listening to the radio, and reading books, newspapers and magazines. What do you think？
W1: I agree with that, Professor Baker.
W2: So do I. But I don't believe that it's possible to take advantage of practice opportunities without some knowledge of the language first.
W1:Sure. First it's a good idea to study grammar, vocabulary...
W2: ... and listening, perhaps even reading.
W1: Then practice is very, very helpful.

After the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) was founded in 1927, the particular style. of speech of the BBC announcers was recognized as Standard English or Received Pronunciation (RP) English. Now, most people still consider that the pronunciation and delivery of BBC announcers is the clearest and most understandable spoken English.
English has had a strong association with class and social status. However, since the Second World War there has been a considerable change of attitude towards speech snobbery, and hallmarks of class distinction such as styles of speech have been gradually discarded, especially by the younger generation.
As the need has arisen, new words have been invented or found from other languages and incorporated into English. Similarly, old words and expressions have been discarded as their usefulness has diminished or the fashions have passed. This also happens to styles and modes of speech which became fashionable at a particular time and in specific circumstances.
By the end of the 1960s it became apparent that it was not necessary to speak Standard English or even correct grammar to become popular, successful and rich. The fashionable speech of the day was no longer the prerogative of a privileged class but rather a defiant expression of classlessness.
The greatest single influence of the shaping of the English language in modem times is the American English. Over the last 25 years the English used by many people, particularly by those in the media, advertising and show business, has become more and more mid-Atlantic in style, delivery and accent.
In the 1970s, fashion favored careless pronunciation and language full of jargon, slang and "in" words, much of it quite incomprehensible to the outside world. What is considered modem and fashionable in Britain today is often not the kind of English taught in schools and colleges.
Which one of the following in NOT true？
A．The use of the English language has not changed much in this century.
B．The BBC announcers speak Standard English.
C．English has no association with class and social status now.
D．Young people all speak English in the same way.
