17、 know, design, island, school, wrist, naughty, and salmon. All of these words have at least one letter that is not typically pronounced, and these words are just a very small part of words with silent letters in them.Some words are even worse, consider this word: colonel. Not only are some letters n

I know there must be some main historical reasons why the words are spelled and pronounced the way they are, but that does not mean bad t

19、raditions must continue to survive. Especially if they are no longer logical.Unfortunately, there is very little that anyone can do for it, because there's no group of people who can change or have the right to change the English language for everyone. However, the only thing we can do is make c

23、字母l不發音，所以B項正確。由第二段可知，colonel單詞的發音規則是有一些字母不發音，但是不在該單詞拼寫之中的有些字母還會發音，所以A項錯誤；由第三段可知，法語只是這一現象的主要原因，所以C項錯誤；由第四段“Unfortunately, there is very little that anyone can do for it, because there's no group of people who can change or have the right to change the English language for everyone.”可知，D項錯誤。2Which

24、 of the following is the main reason for silent letters?A. French language. B. Historical reasons. C. Some linguists. D. Bad traditions.答案：B細節理解題。由第三段第二句話“I know there must be some main historical reasons why the words are spelled and pronounced the way they are.”可知，造成英語有些字母不發音的主要原因是歷史原因。3The underl

Necessary changes of languages答案：C主旨大意題。由文章大意可知，全文討論了英語單詞中的字母不發音的原因和我們對此的態度。BSome people say global English is no longer just controlled by British or American English, but is running free and developing uniquely local forms. Can you figure out the following terms?“I like your

27、 smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.” This is a way of saying “Keep off the grass.” Or “people mountain, people sea”， which means “very crowded”These examples are what we call Chinglish.
