而”,表对比。古英语古英语和现在我们说的英语非常不同。事实上,如果我们今天听到古英语,会听不懂。公元5世纪中叶以前,不列颠所有的人都说一种叫凯尔特语的语言。然后,来自欧洲大陆的两个日耳曼部族——盎格鲁人和撒克逊人——占领了不
列颠。古英语是由他们语言的混合体组成的。(英语和英国人都是按照盎格鲁人来命名的;Angle这个词在古英语里拼作Engle。)除了像伦敦这样的地名之外,很少有几个凯尔特语词汇成为古英语的一部分。在9世纪末,来自北欧诸国例如丹麦和挪威的维京人开始向不列颠
移居。他们带来了他们的语言,这些语言也与古英语交汇在了一起。到了10世纪,古英语已成为英格兰的官方语言。现在,当我们讲英语时,我们有时会对用哪些单词或短语感到困惑。这是因为英语有着许多来自不同语言的单词和短语,但是这些单词和短语有着相似的意思。比
如,sick一词就是来自盎格鲁人和撒克逊人曾经用过的一个词,而ill则来自曾经被挪威人用过的一个词。MiddleEnglishMiddleEnglishisthenamegiventotheEnglishusedfromaroundthe12thtothe15thcen

世纪期间使用过的英语起的名字。在这一新型英语的发展中,许多事件起了作用。最大的贡献来自讲法语的诺曼人,他们在1066年击败了英格兰并控制了这个国家。然而,诺曼征服对英语的影响不及约600年前盎格鲁人和撒克逊人的胜利对英语
的影响,那场胜利导致古英语代替了凯尔特语。尽管诺曼人在统治英格兰的整整250年间一直讲法语,但是法语并没有取代英语成为第一语言。另一方面,英语也确实借用了许多法语单词。这造成了甚至更多意思相近的单词,比如answer(来自古英语)和reply(来自古法语)。了解有关动
物和肉的词汇是怎样演变而来的是件挺有趣的事。诺曼征服之后,许多英国人以仆人的身份从事饲养动物的工作。因此,我们使用的作为食物类饲养的大部分动物的单词,比如cow(母牛),sheep(绵羊)和pig(猪),来自古英语。然而,由于这些动物的肉是供应给诺曼人的,所以指代这些动物的肉的词来自
古法语,如beef(牛肉),mutton(羊肉),pork(猪肉)和bacon(熏猪肉,咸猪肉)。OldFrenchmadeothercontributionstoMiddleEnglishaswel

留了日耳曼语的复数形式,如man/men和child/children。诺曼征服之后,上层社会的人讲法语,而普通人则讲英语。但是到了14世纪后半叶,英语已经被英格兰所有社会阶层广泛使用。1399年,亨利四世成了英格兰国王。他的母语是英语,他在所

ls.D.Toproveallagescanlearnforeignlanguages.C解析:细节理解题。根据第一段的内容可知,Gabriella家中有三种不同的双语学习类型的人,即Gabriella同时学习英语和西班牙语;她的弟弟在学校学习英语,在家里学习西班牙语;她的父母
则通过将第二语言翻译为母语来学习第二语言。据此可知,第一段以Gabriella的家庭为例是为了说明三种不同双语学习类型的人,故C项正确。5.Whydothechildrenlearnlanguagesmoreeasilythanadults?A.Becausetheylearnl

rnlanguagesmoreeasilybecausetheirdevelopingbrainsletthemusebothhemispheresinlanguagelearning,whileinmostadults,languagereliesononehemisphere,
usuallytheleft”可知,儿童学习语言更容易是因为他们发育中的大脑让他们在语言学习中使用两个脑半球,而在大多数成年人中,学习语言依赖于一个脑半球,通常是左半球,故B项正确。6.Whichoft
hefollowingbestexplains“handicap”underlinedinParagraph3?A.Disease.B.Disability.C.Disadvantage.D.Illness.C解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句
“Beforethe1960s,bilingualismwasconsideredahandicapthatslowedthechildren’sdevelopmentbyforcingthemtospendtoomuchenergydistingui
shingbetweenlanguages.”,尤其是该句中的“slowed”和“forcingthemtospendtoomuchenergydistinguishingbetweenlanguages”并结合语
境可推知,画线词与C项“不利因素,障碍”意思相近,故C项正确。7.Whatcanweinferfromthetext?A.Theleftbrainismoreimportantforlanguagelearning.B.Learning

antagesinlearninglanguagesovernatives.B解析:推理判断题。根据第三段第二、三句中的“Butarecentstudydidshowthatbilingualismmaymakeyousmarter.Itdoesmakeyourbrain
morecomplex,healthier,andmoreactivelyengaged”可知,研究确实表明,双语可能会让你更聪明,它会让你的大脑更复杂、更健康、更活跃;据此可推知,语言学习促进大脑的发展,故B项正确。CIfyouhaveachancetotakeawal
