Unit 2 Exploring English 完形填空 专题训练-2024-2025学年高一英语上学期 外研版（2019） 必修第一册
Growing up in Venezuela, Ivan Aristeguieta learnt English through school lessons. When Ivan decided to move to Australia, he was already 1 with the English language but there were features (特征) of Australian English that he had to 2 and get used to. 3 , Australians say “lift instead of elevator”.
Ivan also had to learn about Australian coffee menus and 4 the difference between a short black, a long black, and a flat white. In Venezuela, coffee orders are described by their 5 , such as “light brown or dark brown”.
Before moving to Australia, Ivan had been a full-time comedian (喜剧演员) in Venezuela for two years. He was eager to 6 doing comedy in Australia but being funny in Spanish isn’t the same as being funny in English.
Ivan’s determination (决心) to 7 stand-up comedy in English meant he attended a course at the Australian Radio School. He also took lessons with a speech coach.
The hard 8 of familiarising himself with Australian culture and the way that Australians 9 has paid off for Ivan. This year he has 10 performed his stand-up show “Juithy” at the Adelaide Fringe and the Canberra Comedy Festival.
Reflecting on the five years he’s spent learning Australian English, Ivan has two 11 to offer.
The first one is to use subtitles (字幕) when watching television and movies in English. The second is not to be embarrassed (尴尬的) about asking 12 :
“Don’t be 13 to stop the conversation and go ‘Hey, what’s this word ’ because most of the time, the 14 will be ‘Thank you for trying to 15 more about my language and trying to speak it better’.”

I am often asked how I learned to speak Chinese fluently. 31 , as a native English speaker, learning to speak in tones was the 32 part about learning Chinese for me. To 33 the tones, I lived in Shanghai for 6 months. Once I wanted to buy a 34 for my mother. Unluckily, the words for “horse” and “mother” are only differentiated by a 35 tone. When I told the store clerk I wanted to buy a gift for my“horse”, she looked at me like I had lost my 36 . In the end, she 37 what I was trying to say, but it was a bit of a struggle. After that, I learned the 38 between the two tones.
After returning to England, I bought a web camera and found myself a language 39 by going to , where I met a native speaker willing to help me learn Chinese. Together, we 40 speaking Chinese for a few hours per week. 41 , I not only mastered my tones but learned to speak more 42 , just like a native speaker.
In my 43 , when studying Chinese in an English-speaking environment, my classmates and I often made a 44 of the tones when speaking to one another. In fact, in a Chinese-speaking environment, the 45 interaction is of great importance for fluency, and it separates the amateurs (业余爱好者) from the experts.

If you want to learn a new language, the very first thing to think about is why. Do you need it for a 46 reason, such as your job or your studies Or perhaps you’re interested in the 47 , films or music of a different country, and you know how much it will help to have a 48 of the language.
Most people learn best by using a variety of 49 , but traditional classes are an ideal (理想的) start for many people. They 50 an environment where you can practice under the 51 of someone who’s good at the language. We all lead busy lives and learning a language takes 52 . You will have more success if you study regularly, so try to develop a 53 . It doesn’t matter if you haven’t got long. Becoming fluent (流利的) in a language will take years, but learning to get by taking a lot less.
Many people start learning a language and soon give up. “I’m too 54 ,” they say. Yes, children do learn languages more 55 than adults, but research has shown that you can learn a language at any 56 . And learning is good for the health of your brain, too. I’ve also heard people 57 about the mistakes they make when learning. Well, relax and laugh about your mistakes 58 you’re much less likely to make them again.
Learning a new language is never easy. But with some work and devotion, you’ll make progress. And you’ll be 59 by the positive reaction from some native speakers when you say just a few words in 60 own language. Good luck!

I fell in love with reading when I was a child. Through reading, I developed a good relationship with my parents.
Born as a second generation South Korean in America, I was raised in an environment in which my parents struggled to settle in American culture. My parents were awkward, strange and different. Their limitations as immigrants (移民) influenced me; as a child, I was alone and quiet. I grew up in a family where I was forbidden to speak English. I wanted to 61 the depth of the books I read but the words 62 me, like my parents. I wasn’t able to change the situation 63 I was placed in, but I worked very hard. Every 64 ，I went to the library to check out new books. I would have 65 reading all the books by Friday afternoons. I became a better 66 . Pretty soon, I was the 67 reader in the class. People would look at me in 68 as they saw me read 500 page books in only a few days. But I believe the greatest 69 was reading every night to my parents. Every evening, we 70 together in our living room, and I read to them. Slowly but surely, our 71 grew. My parents can communicate with others 72 ; for me, grammar quizzes became a piece of cake.
Today I’m 73 to have Asian American parents who were 74 enough to learn English from a young boy and wise enough to 75 their son to read at a young age.

Scientists find that hardworking people live longer than average men and women. Career women are 76 than housewives. Evidence shows that the 77 are in poorer health than the jobholders. A study shows whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate 78 correspondingly (相应地) by 2%. All this comes down to one point: work is 79 to health.
Why is work good for health It is because work keeps people busy and away from loneliness. Research shows that people feel 80 , worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. 81 , those who are busy are the happiest. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are the happiest when working hard. Work serves as a 82 between man and reality. Through work, people have contact with each other. Through collective(集体的) activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work 83 the loss of almost everything. It affects people spiritually and makes them liable(可能受……影响) to 84 .
Besides, work gives one a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his or her 85 and status in society. When a 86 finishes his writing or a doctor 87 a patient or a teacher sees his students 88 , all of them will be happy beyond 89 .
From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you 90 , the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard, study well and live a happy and healthy life.

At 35, Yong Duckworth is the oldest student at Chrisney Elementary School in Chrisney, Indiana. Duckworth attended first grade last September, 91 to learn English. Since arriving in the U. S. 13 years ago from Korea, Duckworth had 92 private teachers and adult (成人) education classes. Nothing 93 .
Then Duckworth called Chrisney headmaster (校长) Leroy Meyer.“I could hardly 94 her,” says Meyer.“The best I could make out was that she 95 someone to help her learn English. She wanted to know the 96 by age 40, so she could open her own business.“

Duckworth studied English in junior high but 102 learned to speak fluently.

Here broken English makes me 104 .”

Lucas majors in classic linguistics. He is equal to recognizing a language in a 106 way no matter how unfamiliar it is. Last year, he 107 a shell with some totally strange 108 carved on it at a stall (小摊).
Based on his demanding 109 , he knew it was from a small village. Besides, after 110 many related reference books, he had his point of view: the symbols were 111 as a variety of the writing system of Jiaguwen, a kind of writing system which dates back to 1500 BC．
Lucas had a 112 attitude to the discovery and applied to his university for a further research by visiting the village. With permission given, he visited it. He found the mother tongue of the villagers was a special dialect, whose vocabulary 113 from Mandarin (普通话) spoken by 1.4 billion people.
Despite many 114 , understanding the dialect and finding more shells helped him complete a report. The report was 115 , where he gave a full description: The characters 116 by a small nation in the Shang Dynasty were passed down by means of bones and 117 . Afterwards, the nation went through ups and downs, 118 for hundreds of years. But it 119 disappeared due to some factors.
Lucas’s report was a 120 in the academic field, attracting more people to these special characters.

Specialists(专家) say that it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock(文化冲击)” is the 121 these specialists use when talking about the 122 that people have in a 123 environment. “There are three stages of culture shock”, say the specialists. In the first stage, the new comers like their new environment. Then, when the 124 experience dies, they begin to 125 the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the new comers begin to adapt to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life 126 .
There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The 127 may be different. The public service systems—the telephone, the post office, or the transportation—may be difficult to 128 . The most simple things seem to be big problems. The language may be 129 .
Who feels culture shock Everyone does in this way or that. 130 culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who 131 had any difficulties in their home countries and were 132 in their community(集体). Coming to a new 133 these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find 134 without a role, almost without an identity(身份). They have to 135 a new self-image.
Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation(迷失方向). This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying 136 all the time. They want to 137 themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a(n) 138 of safety. This escape does 139 the problem of culture shock in the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and 140 experience—these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.

Have you had enough(or enuf)trouble spelling English words to make you want to scream(or skreem) You are not alone. Generations of scholars since the 17th century have protested against the 141 in English spelling.
Part of the problem is caused by the 142 origins of English words. German, Latin, French and Greek are al common sources, and each follows a different set of 143 for spelling. In fact, even within any one of these languages, it is 144 to guarantee consistency(一致性). As these systems were 145 over time, the English spelling system we see today came into being.
Some English learners know that memorizing the Latin roots of English words is a great way to 146 their vocabulary, but most Latin-rooted words entered English from French after the Norman Conquest(诺曼征服)of the 11th century. The Normans used French as the language of the court, throwing Old English, a Germanic(日耳曼语的)language, out of 147 usage for around 300 years.
By the time English was again 148 at the court, it was a French-influenced language(Middle English). There was actually no 149 form of spelling. In Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales(《坎特伯雷故事集》), the same word was spelled differently. This was not his fault. He was simply following the spelling of the time.
Standardization did not come until the 15th century. The use of the printing press(印刷机)and, for the first time, the mass distribution(大量流通)of books 150 the spelling of words. The spelling system we use today is based on the pronunciation of that time.
Now the story gets a bit 151 . Between 1450 and 1750, English pronunciation went through what experts call the Great Vowel Shift(主要元音转移). However, 152 the nature of how English words are pronounced has evolved, the spelling system has remained largely unchanged.
Supporters of English spelling reform argue that 153 words with more phonetically accurate letter combinations will promote literacy(读写能力). Others don’t think so. They say that the spelling system we use today leaves plenty of 154 to unlocking the history of the language, helping readers understand the origins of words.

I’m a university professor at an art school. Last year, I decided to 156 online classes to gain some knowledge of Arabic (阿拉伯语).
My teacher and I would meet a few times a month to practice 157 and go over grammar. During our communication, he also 158 details of his life. Gradually, the 159 of the first few lessons gave way to more familiarity and comfort. I stopped feeling embarrassed and began to open up about my own 160 and my battle with Arabic. “Don’t worry; I’m here to 161 you. You’re hardworking and I’m sure you’ll do well in it,” said my teacher. I had 162 my students with similar words in my own teaching. It was 163 to hear them directed at me. The tables turned.
“You are 164 today,” my teacher would say when I used varied vocabulary or expressions. When I heard these four words, I got a feeling of 165 . It also surprised me that my confidence could be encouraged by such 166 praise. That was when I became aware how 167 I had praised my students, because I thought much praise made them self-satisfied. But now, I had a change of heart and 168 that these plain words can mean a lot. Words 169 . And now I become more 170 when I use them.

When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary and advised me to use it. I was 201 to see that it was an English-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual (单语的) dictionary. Although it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely 202 to use at first. I would 203 words in the dictionary but still could not fully understand the meanings. I was used to the 204 English-Chinese dictionaries, in which the words are 205 both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt gave me such 206 to make things so difficult for me. Now, I understand that monolingual dictionaries are 207 in learning a foreign language.
As I 208 , there is, in fact, often no perfect equivalent (对应物) between two 209 in two languages. My aunt even 210 that even a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the 211 meaning of the word in English! Therefore, she insisted that I read the definition of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better 212 of its meaning. Gradually, I have come to see what she 213 .
Using a monolingual dictionary has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n) 214 number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 215 exposed to the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. Because of this, I can express myself more easily in English.

When I started learning German some time ago, I realized the power of stories and storytelling in my own life.
I was 216 memorizing my first few German words. And I quickly 217 that this time, my native Italian and the other languages I’d learned would not be of much 218 .
While it was quite 219 to memorize words similar to English, like gut, muss, Ende, and Freund, there were many words for which I had no reference to 220 . Among them were Schatz (treasure) and Insel (Island). And yet I learned these two words easily. How The 221 is simple. Without even 222 it, I had already memorized these words through a story.
One day, when I was a kid, I was with my father at a flea market (跳蚤市场) and we 223 a beautifully illustrated (有插图的) children’ s book. The cover and pictures were so great that I almost 224 to notice that the 225 was not in Italian. “Luca, we can buy it, 226 the book is in German,” said my father. I read the title out loud, with some 227 : “Die Scha... tz... ins ... el.”
Once home, my father explained that it was a German translation of the famous book “Treasure Island” . He 228 me the Italian edition (版本) and suggested that I 229 it while turning over the pages of the illustrated one. Thanks to the story I read, I passively (被动地) 230 two words in German (Schatz and Insel) which are usually quite difficult words to learn, at least for Italian speakers.
