话题语篇专攻练 4语言学习(一)(建议用时40分钟). 阅读理解ACAN YOU IMAGINE HOW HARD IT WOULDBE TO READ SENTENCES LIKE THIS? Every one of us gets so used to punctuation marks that not many of us give them a second thought. Actually, the ancient Greeks wrote this way. The lack of punctuation marks probably didnt bother good readers, though. As they read, they just put pauses where they fit best. Also at this time, sentences switched directions. A sentence read from left to right. The next one read right to left, and then left to right again, etc. The ancient Romans sometimes punctuated like this: They put something that can separate words in a sentence. The word punctuation actually comes from this idea and the Latin word “punctum”, which means a dot. When the 5th century arrived, there were just two punctuation marks: spaces and points. The spaces separated words while the points showed pauses in reading. Then in the 13th century, a printer named Aldus Manutius tried to standardize punctuation. He always used a period for a complete stop at the end of a sentence. He used a slash(/)to indicate a short pause. Over time, that slash was shortened and curled, and it became the modern comma(逗号). Since that time, other marks have enlarged the punctuation family. The exclamation mark(感叹号)comes from the Latin word “io”. It means “exclamation of joy”. The question mark originally started out as the Latin word “questio”, meaning question. Eventually, scholars put it at the end of a sentence to show a question. Punctuation even keeps changing nowadays. New marks are coming into existence, and old punctuation marks are used in new ways. Take for example the “interrobang”. This 1962 invention combines the question mark and exclamation mark for times when writers want both. For example, “She did what? ” or “How much did you pay for that dress? ”Obviously, the interrobang is not widely used or recognized yet, but its invention shows that English is not yet finished with its punctuation. 【文章大意】文章介绍了标点符号的出现及逐步发展的过程, 并且它还在变化发展中。1.

What to ExpectThe host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health. Accommodation ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by underground. Meal Plans AvailableContinental BreakfastBreakfast and DinnerBreakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIts important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee. FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your hosts permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy. Self-Catering Accommodation in Private HomesAccommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much. 【文章大意】这是一篇说明类文章。文章为那些到英国学习英语, 打算寄宿在英国家庭中的学生们介绍了寄宿的相关信息。5.
