26、Learn a new language and, at some point, you’ll meet native speakers that have you questioning your language abilities. 【1】 And what’s that slang (俚语) they’re using?! If this sounds all too familiar to you, then welcome! You’ve leveled up to a new stage of language learning best known as the dialect. The differences between a dialect and a language have a number of technicalities and exceptions tied to them. But as a language learner, you’re probably more interested in the practical takeaway.
【2】. We can see how the standard elements of English change across the US, the UK, and even Singapore, where Singlish exists as a hyper-regional dialect of English.
The first thing you’ll notice about each English dialect is the shift in pronunciation. This shift, better known as an accent, is an important element of a dialect. 【3】. Don’t worry too much about this. What’s important is that you’re able to identify differences during conversations and feel comfortable adapting to them.
Studies show that children who primarily speak a dialect are hyper-aware of the differences, and are able to reach reading and writing goals more quickly as a result. 【4】 Learning a dialect, rather than just the standard language, requires a deeper dig into cultural nuances (细微差异) that aren’t lost on native speakers. In short: Learning a dialect shows that you care! It’s an incredible way to connect with new cultural communities in the process.
Before you learn a dialect, you should have a firm grasp of the fundamentals of a “standard” language. That way, you’ll be able to gain meaning through context. 【5】 Movies, music, books, and news are all fantastic ways to pick up on those dialectical nuances.
A.Then, enlarge your exposure.
B.There’re many varieties of English.
C.How does their accent sound so different?
D.But accent isn’t always necessary to a dialect.
E.Dialects also allow you to build deeper connections.
F.Some people are good at shifting between different accents.
G.Dialects are often closely tied with geographical boundaries.
27、What’s in a logo?
What attracts customers? 【1】 It is not only the image provided by the packaging that counts but the whole corporate identity (企业形象) of the company.
There are now many products and services on the market which are similar in content though produced by different companies. It is important, therefore, for a company to distinguish itself from its competitors by having a strong company image which is immediately recognizable.
Logos are part of this image. 【2】 The logo establishes a visual (视觉的) identity for the company, just as different groups of young people express their identity through hairstyles and clothes. All groups from all cultures and throughout the ages have used colors and symbols to show their identity.
【3】Some colors may be connected with coldness in one culture but with warmth in another; some colors represent life in one culture but death in another. International companies have, therefore, to make sure that their logos will not be misunderstood in different countries.
The logos of large international companies are instantly recognizable throughout the world. 【4】 The design of “CocaCola” has not changed since 1886, although the surrounding design has been changed from time to time.
Companies need to have a strong corporate identity. The logo helps to promote this image and to fix it in the minds of the consumers.【5】
A.One of the most famous logos is that of CocaCola.
B.Color isn’t a strictly visual element; it’s very psychological.
C.In different cultures, different colors carry different meanings.
D.Logos, therefore, need to be original and to have a certain impact and unique style.
E.There was a time when CocaCola was struggling a bit with brand recognition.
F.Obviously the quality of a product does, but visual images contribute a great deal.
G.They are symbols which often include a name or the first letters of it to identify a company.
28、Have you ever wondered what animals are talking about? With the development of AI, we may be able to understand their languages!
In Professor Karen Bakker’s new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants, she talks about how AI is helping us to make an animal version of Google Translate.
All around the animal kingdom, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and understand. Elephants for example talk with each other using infrasound (次声波) — far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean also sends sound waves to attract baby coral to safer areas to grow. This is surprising as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed listening equipment into these environments to pick up the sounds humans cannot hear.
After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meaning, according to the news website Vox. For example, Israeli researchers used AI to translate bats’ 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60 percent were arguments about four things: food, sleep positions, invasion of personal space, and unwanted advances.
This technology can not only understand the animals but communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate. A research team in Germany, therefore, put the bee language AI system into a robot bee. They asked the robot to create a dance routine to tell the bees where the flowers were, Vox reported.
【1】What can AI do for people in Karen Bakker’s opinion?
A.AI helps people do translations better.
B.AI helps animals receive human’s sound.
C.AI helps people better understand animals.
D.AI can help people develop Google Translate.
【2】What do we know about the sounds made by animals?
A.Some of the sounds cannot be heard by humans.
B.Corals have ears that can hear all animal sounds.
C.They can help animals get used to their environments.
D.All communications among elephants are infrasound.
【3】How did scientists tell bees where the flowers were?
A.By training other bees to lead them there.
B.By creating a certain sound with the AI system.
C.By asking a robot bee to teach them a new language.
D.By making a robot bee tell the bees about the route by dancing.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Talking to animals with AI
B.Recording sounds with AI
C.Receiving infrasound with AI
D.Making an animal version of Google Translate
29、When we were very small, we realized that having friends was important. Some of us even had imaginary(想象中的) friends. The need for friends continued as we grew into our teens. Friends played a big part in forming our personalities(性格). As adults, it is still important for us to have friends.
True friends are people who like us though we made mistakes and who listen to us and tell us the truth. Friends support our decisions and tell us when we’re foolish. They laugh with us and share our sadness. They are our partners and share interests with us. They stimulate us when we are feeling upset. They are people we aren’t afraid of telling our secret wishes to or what is really on our minds.
Friends are our supporters. When you can depend on friends, you feel safe and warm. Friends offer acceptance and emotional(情感的) support. At times, they also help with our everyday lives, cooking a meal, doing chores, or giving us a lift when we need one. Friends also are there to offer advice, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on.
Friends also help us reduce stress(压力). Not only do they listen to us when we feel stressed, but they also discuss what is stressing us. Sharing interests and doing activities with friends help us forget about problems at work or at home. For a short time, we can lose ourselves in a pleasant activity and perhaps laugh and breathe more easily.
【1】What is the best title for the passage?
A.How to Reduce Stress
