[2024四川成都石室中学考试]English is a glbal language， especially in areas such as science and technlgy. Mathematics is the language with which the universe is written. Using numbers and mathematical symbls， ne can write "wrds" and "sentences". When apprpriate， several "sentences" tgether might frm a "mathematical stry". Mathematics als has grammar — the mathematical lgic which determines whether statements are valid r nt.
A math teacher says， "Math may be viewed as a language — a simpler， mre cnsistent and mre regular language than English. Bth English and math are gverned by rules f syntax and cnvey a cmplete thught. Numbers represent nuns， while peratinal signs （＋，-，×，÷，＝） serve as verbs. Math facts， such as ‘2×3＝6’， may be thught f as math sentences. Math at the simple sentence fact level is a much easier language than English. Thugh math has an infinite number f nuns， it has nly five verbs （＋，-，×，÷，＝） assciated with fur basic peratins."
Nina is an English teacher in an elementary schl. She has n dubt abut the lgical cnnectin between English and mathematics. She says， "They are definitely languages. In bth languages there are patterns and rules. They are bth taught thrugh visualizatins and illustratins. Teaching vcabulary is like teaching fractins. Yu need t illustrate in bth languages and practice a lt."
Hwever， English and mathematics as languages are similar yet different. The language f mathematics， fr example， is precise and less flexible — it cannt affrd ambiguity， while natural languages cntain cnstructive ambiguity derived frm their cultural and cntextual wealth f meanings. Mathematics and English as a secnd language d nt develp naturally as a child develps a natural language； they need t be learned.

Textbks instruct India English-speakers t avid Indianisms such as "What is yur gd name？" fr "What is yur first name？"， r "I am wrking here fr years" instead f "I have been wrking here fr years". A guide t aviding Eurpeanisms has lng existed in Eurpean Unin institutins t keep German-speakers frm using "actual" t mean "current"， as it des in their language.
Given enugh time， new generatins f freign language speakers cntribute nt just wrds but their wn grammar t the language they learn."I am wrking here fr years" is a mistake tday， but it is nt hard t imagine it becming standard in the future in India.

二、七选五
Yu’re prbably familiar with the Nrth American spelling f the wrd "airplane". Hwever， if yu’ve ever been n an internatinal flight leaving the United States and ging t anther English-speaking cuntry like the United Kingdm， yu’ve prbably nticed that there are a few differences between the American and British spellings f wrds with the same meaning. 1 . The American English spelling is "airplane" while the British English spelling is "aerplane". S， why des this happen？
Let’s lk at the rt f the phenmenn. 2 ."British English has a general tendency t favur spellings and wrds that remind peple f French， but American English， when it has deviated（背离） frm what British English des， ften changes int the directin f seeming less French，" says Lynne Murphy， authr f ThePrdigalTngue：TheLve-HateRelatinshipBetweenAmericanandBritishEnglish.
3 ."Aerplane" is n exceptin."We’re cmfrtable with ‘aer’ in scientific terms， but as planes became mre cmmn things t talk abut， the ‘aer’ seemed t fancy，" explains Murphy."InScientificAmerican in 1906， there was already a claim： 4 . Ten years later，‘airplane’ was adpted by the Natinal Advisry Cmmittee fr Aernautics as their term. It was cnsidered in the United Kingdm， but that suggestin didn’t g anywhere."
There’s a gd reasn why wrds that mean the same thing are spelled differently， and why that will cntinue t happen." 5 ， and peple are generally prud f it， s they cntinue t spell differently，" says Murphy.
A. Every cuntry has different culture
B. Yur spelling tells peple where yu’re frm
C. The wrd "airplane" happens t be an example
D. Airplane is a much better wrd than aerplane
E. American English and British English have similar histrical rigins
F. There’s a lt f histry that ges beynd wrds and dives deep int plitics， gvernment， and science
G. A lt f wrds in the English language are brrwed frm ther languages， like Latin， Greek， and French
本文是说明文，以美式英语中的airplane和英式英语中的aerplane在拼写上的差异为例讲述了英美语言中拼写差异的形成原因。
1.C 由空前的"there are a few differences between the American and British spellings f wrds with the same meaning"可知，英美语言中有一些词意思相同，但是拼写方式却不同。再结合空后的"The American English spelling is ‘airplane’ while the British English spelling is‘aerplane’"可知，空处内容与单词airplane有关。C项"单词‘airplane’正好就是一个例子"与上下文衔接紧密，符合语境。
2.G 空格所在段主要讲的是airplane和aerplane拼写方式不同的原因。结合空后的"British English changes int the directin f seeming less French"可知，空处内容应涉及英式英语与美式英语和其他语言之间的关系。G项"英语中的很多单词是从其他语言引入的，比如拉丁语、希腊语和法语"解释了英语和其他语言之间的关系，符合语境。
3.F 由空后内容可知，空格所在段主要介绍了aerplane与airplane在拼写上的差异和科学等的联系。F项能够概括段落的主要内容，符合语境。
4.D 空前讲到随着飞机的普及，带有aer的拼写方式似乎太花哨；空后讲到十年后，"airplane"成为美国国家航空咨询委员会的术语。故空处应涉及airplane这种拼写方式在美国得到认可。D项"airplane这个词比aerplane要好得多"与上下文衔接紧密，符合语境。
5.B 由空前的"There’s a gd reasn why t happen"及空后的"peple are generally prud f it"可知，空处应是在介绍表示同一含义的单词的英式拼写和美式拼写不同这种现象持续出现的原因。B项"你的拼写告诉了人们你来自哪里"符合语境。空后的it指代B项。
