Question

6．English is an important global language，but that doesn't mean it's easy to learn．Many experts have tried to make English easier for students to learn-but they weren't always successful．
In 1930，Professor CK Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English．It had only 850 words （and just eighteen verbs） and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours．The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages，but they couldn't understand the answers in"real"English!It was also impossible to explain a word if it wasn't in the Basic English word list．For example，if you wanted a watermelon，you asked for"a large green fruit with the form of an egg，which has a sweet red inside and a good taste"!
RE Zachrisson，a university professor in Sweden，decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling，so he invented a language called Anglic．Anglic was similar to English，but with much simpler spelling．"Father"became"faadher"，"new"became"nue'and"years"became"yeerz"．Unfortunately for some students of English，Anglic never became popular．
Even easier is the language which ships'captains use：it's called"Seaspeak"．Seaspeak uses a few simple phrases for every possible situation．In Seaspeak，for example，you don't say，"I'm sorry what did you say？"or"I didn't understand，can you repeat that？"It's just"Say again．"No more grammar!
In the age of international communication through the Internet who knows？…a new form of English might appear．A large number of the world's e-mails are in English and include examples of"NetLingo"like OIC （Oh，I see） and TTYL （Talk to you later）．In another fifty years，English might not exist…we will probably all speak fluent Internetish!

37．It will take a person aboutCweeks to learn Basic English if he spends two hours learning it every day．

B．It might become a global language．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要讲了关于英语的一些事．英语作为一种重要的全球性语言，许多人都试图让英语的学习更加简单却都没有成功．例如剑桥大学的CK Ogden教授发明的基础英语，他只有850个词仅仅有18个动词，人们30个小时就能学会它，但它的实用性却不强，还有以后RE Zachrisson发明的Anglic以及Seaspeak．如今网络的交流时代，人们都习惯了在网络上用简写，这成了英语的一种新形式．

解答 36  D  主旨大意为本题主要考查点．根据文章大意，本文主要介绍了几种不同的简化的英语的形式，例如Basic English、Anglic、Seaspeak及Internetish，故本文主要是在讲简化的英语．故答案为D．
37  C  逻辑推理为本题主要考查点．根据文章第二段people could learn it in just thirty hours人们花30小时就能学会它，一个人每天花2小时，15天大约2周即可学会．故答案为C．
38  D  本文考查细节理解．根据文章第三段开头RE Zachrisson，a university professor in Sweden，decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling，可知英语学习者最大的问题是拼写．故答案为D．
39 B  逻辑推理为本题主要考查点．根据文章关于Anglic的介绍，可知Anglic的主要特点是简化拼写，根据4个选项，只有B大致符合Anglic的要求．故答案为B．
40 A  逻辑推理为本题主要考查点．根据文章最后一段，In another fifty years，English might not exist…we will probably all speak fluent Internetish!可知英语可能会被Internetish取代．故答案为A．
