Or this sentence: “BAE, let me know if you stay in tonight.”‎ What on earth do they mean? Well, “totes” is a short form of “totally”. Similarly, “tradge” means “tragic” and “emosh” means “emotional”. It seems that, for millennials (千禧一代), typing in this form is not only timesaving but fashionable.‎ As you can see, many millennial slangs (俚语) are formed by socalled “totesing” — the systematic abbreviation (缩写) of words. The trend might have started with “totally” becoming “totes”， but it now has spread to many other English words.‎ The origins of other millennial slangs are more complex than “totesing”. “Bae”， for example, has been widely used by AfricanAmericans for years. It can be an expression of closeness with one's romantic partner or, like “sweetheart”， for someone without romantic connection. After pop singer Pharrell used the word in his work, “bae” became mainstream.‎ Some people might think millennial slangs lower the value of the English language, but Melbourne University linguist (语言学家) Rosey Billington doesn't agree. She says when people are able to use a language in a creative way, they show that they know the language rules well enough to use words differently. Two other linguists, Lauren Spradlin and Taylor Jones, share the same view. The two analysed hundreds of examples of totesspeak and discovered totesing has complex roots.‎ It isn't simply an adult version of baby talk, nor a clever way to minimize your word count. Rather, it is a highly organized system that relies on a speaker's mastery of English pronunciation. It is about sounds, follows sound system of English and has strict rules.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。现在一些说英语的国家的年轻人喜欢用缩略词，尤其是在社交媒体上。有些语言学家认为，年轻人对缩略词的使用不但没有降低英语的价值，反而表明他们熟练掌握了英语。‎ ‎1．Why do young people like using eslangs?‎ A．They are timeconsuming.　　 B．They are in fashion.‎ C．They are complex. D．They are in order.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，他们认为这是一种时尚。故选B。‎ ‎2．What's the author's purpose of mentioning “Bae” in Paragraph 5?‎ A．To support that totesing is no baby talk.‎ B．To analyse the usage of millennial slangs.‎ C．To inform people how it became mainstream.‎ D．To explain the complex origins of millennial slangs.‎ 解析：‎ 选D　推理判断题。根据第五段第一句可知，作者主要是用它来解释千禧一代所使用的一些俚语的复杂起源。故选D。‎ ‎3．Which statement may Rosey Billington agree with?‎ A．Totesing is a loosely organized system.‎ B．Millennial slangs lower the value of English.‎ C．It's simply a clever way to reduce the word count.‎ D．Totesspeak requires a good command of English.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第六段第二句可知，她同意“网络缩略词要求对英语(的运用规则)能熟练掌握”的说法。故选D。‎ ‎4．What's the best title of the passage?‎ A．Eslangs Catch on Among Youth B．Linguists Disapprove of Totesing C．Millennial Slangs Take the Lead D．English Has Greatly Changed 解析：选A　标题归纳题。纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述的是现在一些说英语的国家的很多年轻人都喜欢使用缩略词，尤其是在社交媒体上进行交流的时候。故选A。‎ B ‎(2017·石家庄高三复习教学质量检测) ‎ The Adler Planetarium Chicago is home to more than 35,000 square feet of exhibits.

But now they want to move beyond this — towards something that encourages creativity and what they term “holistic (全面的) education”．‎ Minister for Education, Heng Swee Keat, says this is “less about content knowledge”， but “more about how to process information”. He describes this challenge of innovating as being able to “tell truths from untruths, connect seemingly different things, and create knowledge even as the context changes”．‎ This strategy aims to prepare today's students for the demands of the next 20 years. It means that schools are under more pressure, and will be given more freedom, to come up ‎ with creative ways to teach students. So instead of the traditional images of highpressure Asian schools, with rows of heads buried in books, they are trying different approaches to learning.‎ To put this into practice, on a sunny April morning, 80 students from one of Singapore's top schools were traveling outdoors. The nine to tenyearolds from Rosyth School were on a “learning journey” in a park, with science topics and values such as caring for the environment.‎ ‎“We are conducting a biopsy (活组织检查) to find out why a bee, a fish, a bird and a plant mysteriously died，” said student Darren Ong. “Is it because of human actions？”‎ They photographed “evidence” on smartphones and digital cameras, getting facts on plant and animal species on their iPads. “In one activity, I can cover three topics，” said science teacher Lin Lixun. “They can really learn through handson experience and putting things into action，” said moral education teacher, Joslyn Huang.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。新加坡的学校向来以优异的考试成绩在国际上闻名。但是，如今新加坡的学校不再仅仅满足于考试成绩的领先，他们开始推行一种旨在培养学生创造力的“全面教育”。‎ ‎8．According to the passage, what are Singapore's schools famous for?‎ A．Test results.‎ B．Strict management.‎ C．Teaching quality.‎ D．The learning environment.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。由第一段第一句可知，新加坡的学校在国际考试中向来成绩优异，并因此成为全球学校学习的榜样，故A项正确。‎ ‎9．What does Singapore's “holistic education” lay emphasis on?‎ A．Students' moral behavior.‎ B．Students' content knowledge.‎ C．Students' creative ability.‎ D．Students' handson experience.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。由第一段中的“encourages creativity”及第二段中的“less about content knowledge ... this challenge of innovating”可知，新加坡的“全面教育”强调的是对学生创造力的培养，故C项正确。‎ ‎10．The 80 students from Rosyth School conducted a biopsy to find out ________.‎ A．how to improve the environment B．how to protect animals and plants C．relationships between human behavior and climate change D．relationships between human actions and some animals and plants' death 解析：选D　细节理解题。由倒数第二段可知，这些学生进行活组织检查的目的是找出一些动植物的死因与人类活动之间的关系。‎ ‎11．The author tells us about Singapore's schools' different ways of learning by ________.‎ A．giving examples　　 B．making contrasts C．listing figures D．analyzing cause and effect 解析：选A　写作手法题。文章第三段提到，新加坡的学校打算尝试新的教学方式；接着第四、五段举了Rosyth School组织学生到户外学习的例子。由此可知，作者是通过举例的方式来说明新加坡在教育方面的新尝试。‎ D ‎(2017·河北衡水中学高三一调考试)It is not unusual for people to speak two or three languages; they're known as bilinguals or trilinguals. Speakers of more than three languages are known as polyglots. And when we refer to people who speak many languages, perhaps a dozen or more, we use the term hyperpolyglot.‎ The most famous hyperpolyglot was Giuseppe Mezzofanti, a 19th century Italian cardinal (红衣主教), who was said to speak 72 languages. This claim sounds absurd. If_you_assume_each_language_had_20,000_words,_Mezzofanti_would_have_to_learn_a_word_a_minute,_six_hours_a_day,_for_eleven_years_—_an_impossible_task. But Mezzofanti was tested by critics, and they were all impressed.‎ Did Mezzofanti have an extraordinary brain? Or are hyperpolyglots just ordinary people with ordinary brains who manage to do something extraordinary through hard work?‎ U．S. linguist (语言学家) Stephen Krashen believes that outstanding language learners just work harder at it and then they acquire unusually strong language ability. As an example, he mentions a Hungarian woman who worked as an interpreter during the 20th century. When she was 86, she could speak 16 languages and was still working on learning new languages. She said she learned them mostly on her own, reading fiction or working through dictionaries or textbooks.‎ Some researchers argue to the contrary. They believe that there is such a thing as a talent for learning languages. In the 1930s, a German scientist examined parts of the preserved brain of a hyperpolyglot named Emil Krebs, who could speak 60 languages fluently. The scientist found that the area of Krebs' brain called Boca's area, which is associated with language, looked different from the Boca's area in the brains of men who speak only one language.
