9.Grammar is the system of a language.People sometimes describe grammar as the"rules"of a language; but in fact no language has rules.If we use the word"rules",we suggest that somebody created the rules first and then spoke the language,like a new game.But languages did not start like that.Languages started by people making sounds which evolved (逐渐发展成) into words,phrases and sentences.No commonly-spoken language is fixed.All languages change over time.What we call"grammar"is simply a reflection (反映) of a language at a particular time.
Do we need to study grammar to learn a language?The short answer is"no".Very many people in the world speak their own,native language without having studied its grammar.Children start to speak before they even know the word"grammar".But if you are serious about learning a foreign language,the long answer is"yes,grammar can help you to learn a language more quickly and more efficiently."It's important to think of grammar as something that can help you,like a friend.When you understand the grammar (or system) of a language,you can understand many things yourself,without having to ask a teacher or look in a book.
So think of grammar as something good,something positive,something that you can use to find your way---like a signpost(路标) or a map.
Except invented languages like Esperanto(世界语).And if Esperanto were widely spoken,its rules would soon be very different.

解答 21-23 BCC
21 B 推理判断题. 根据文章第 一段 Grammar is the system of a language.Languages started by people making sounds which evolved (逐渐发展成) into words,phrases and sentences.可知ACD是正确的,文中没有提及一些人创造了语法,另外一些人学习,故选B.
22 C 细节题. 根据文章第二 段Do we need to study grammar to learn a language?The short answer is"no".和 But if you are serious about learning a foreign language,the long answer is"yes,grammar can help you to learn a language more quickly and more efficiently.可知对不同的需求来说,答案也不同,故选C.
23 C 细节题. 根据文章最后一段 if Esperanto were widely spoken,its rules would soon be very different.可知如果世界语被广泛使用,它的规则很快就会不同,因为世界语的语法在世界语形成前就有了,所以才发现不同,故选C.
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
