【文章大意】本文主要讲述了英语随着时间的推移而改变的原因。1.【解析】when。考查状语从句。根据句子结构可知该填状语从句的从属连词,再根据句意“那么,为什么英语随着时间的推移而改变呢?实际上当文化与文化之间发生碰撞和交流时,所有的语言都会变化和发展。”可知填时间状语从句的连词when“当……的时候”符合语境。故填when。2.【解析】spoken。考查非谓语动词。因为“______inEnglandbetweenaboutCE450andCE1150”是修饰前面的名词English的,作定语,再因名词English和speak之间存在着被动关系,即英语被说,所以用过去分词短语作定语,表被动。故填spoken。

3.【解析】than。考查比较级。根据空前的“more”和句意“比起我们现在说的英语它更多的是以德语为基础的”可知填than。4.【解析】gradually。考查副词。因在句中作状语,所以该用副词。故填gradually。5.【解析】became。考查时态。因本句because从句中用的是一般过去时,可知是发生在过去,所以用一般过去时。故填became。6.【解析】who。考查定语从句。因“________ruledEngland”是修饰前面的代词those(那些人)的,所以是定语从句。因先行词those是指人的词,关系词在定语从句中作主语。故填who。

7.【解析】later。考查副词。根据空前的first,可知后面该填later(后来)才符合上下文的逻辑关系。故填later。8.【解析】of。考查固定词组。makeuseof“利用”,是固定搭配。故填of。9.【解析】settlers。考查名词。因作主语,意为“殖民者”,所以该用名词,又因前面some可知是“一些殖民者”,所以得用复数。故填settlers。10.【解析】weretaken。考查被动语态。根据句意“后来在18世纪一些英国人也被带到澳大利亚”可知该用过去时的被动语态,又因主语people是复数。故填weretaken。Ⅵ.微写作假定你是李华,你的美国笔友Tom下个月要来中国参观你所在的城市。现来信询问你所在城市的天气、食物、交通等信息。请你回信告知情况。注意:1.词数80左右;2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。核心要点提示:1.I’mmorethanhappytohearthat...2.letmetellyousomething3.theweatherhereistotallydifferentfrom4.you’dbetterbringaraincoat5.getaccustomedto6.youcantakeabusor...____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【参考范文】DearTom,Howiseverythinggoing?I’mmorethanhappytohearthatyouwillcometoChinanextmonth.Nowletmetellyousomethingdifferentyoumaymeethere.Tostartwith,theweatherhereistotallydifferentfromthatinyourplace.Ithardlyrainsbutwheneveritdoes,itrainsheavily.Soyou’dbetterbringaraincoatwithyou.Anotherbigchallengeisfood.Tobehonest,theChinesefooddiffersfromyours,soyouhavetotrytogetaccustomedtoitandlearnhowtousechopsticks.Asfortraffic,youcantakeabusorsubwaytonearlyanywhereyouwantto.Moreimportantly,it’scheapandconvenient.I’mlookingforwardtomeetingyousoon.Yours,LiHua《Unit3DiverseCultures》单元检测试卷(120分钟150分)第一部分听力(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。Text1W:Doestheplaystartat7:00or7:30?M:Neither.①Itstartsat7:15andendsat8:30.1.Howlongwilltheplaylast?A.Forty-fiveminutes.B.Sixtyminutes.C.Seventy-fiveminutes.答案:CText2M:Kathy!Youlooksocuteinthisreddress!W:Really?②Don’tyouthinkit’salittlesmallforme?Itfitmewelllastyear,butIgainedtenpoundsthissummer.2.Whatdoesthewomanthinkofherdress?A.It’scute.
