Question

【題目】When you are learning English, you find it not always right to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.

Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listeners can’t understand the speakers’ sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.

“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”

“I’ve seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”

When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神) of the language and use it as the English speakers do.

【解析】試題分析：該短文主要講述了在英語學(xué)習(xí)過程中應(yīng)該注意語序的問題，要從整體上理解意思，切勿逐詞對(duì)照翻譯。

【1】【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段可知，如果我們逐詞翻譯，翻譯過來的話肯定是錯(cuò)誤的。所以當(dāng)我們學(xué)習(xí)英語時(shí)，不能一個(gè)詞一個(gè)詞的對(duì)照翻譯理解意思。故選A。

【2】【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。在第二段，作者提到英語不僅有不同的發(fā)音，而且他們的構(gòu)成形式多種多樣，作者還提到掌握語序規(guī)則很重要，如果不知道語序規(guī)則就很難理解意思。但是作者未曾提及掌握英語發(fā)音和語序的難易程度。故選B。

【3】【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。短文第二段提及改變英語語序有時(shí)會(huì)導(dǎo)致語義發(fā)生變化，但是有時(shí)則不會(huì)，所以選C。

【4】【4】句意猜測題。“she only likes apples”的意思是，她只喜歡蘋果；而“only she likes apples”的意思是只有她一個(gè)人喜歡蘋果。所以兩者的意思是不一樣的，故選B。

【5】【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。這篇短文主要講述了語序的改變對(duì)英語學(xué)習(xí)的影響，提醒我們?cè)谟⒄Z的學(xué)習(xí)過程中應(yīng)該注意語序方面的問題，要從整體上理解意思，而不是逐詞對(duì)照翻譯。故選A。
