Which parent language is English believed to descend from?
English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language.
English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English, such as "me, you, sheep, and wood". Then the Vikings came into the land, bringing their own language into English. Some words like "sky, and skirt" are from Norse. Later in 55 B. C. , Julius Ceasar invaded Britain. Norman French found its way into the English language, making up the part spoken by the nobleman. The words like "royal, and government" were often spoken by the upper class. In over 15 centuries of development, English has borrowed from other languages massively, including Spain , whose language like "angel, and disciple" is often used in churches in Britain, and also Creek, and even Chinese and Japanese. It’s said there are over one million words in the English dictionary.
As settlers established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language may run out of control, many native speakers of English disapprove of building the fence around their language. They take pride in both the tolerance of invading of other languages and the tolerance of changing their language.
选项
A、The English like to invent words.
B、Britain has a long history.
C、The English has borrowed many from other languages.
D、The English can stand borrowing words from other languages and stand the changes of their languages.
答案
C
解析
本题是考查特定信息。最后一句They take pride in both the tolerance of‘invading’of other languages and the tolerance of changing their language.“他们骄傲于能容忍其它语言的侵入、骄傲于能容忍自己语言的变迁。”选项A“英国人喜欢造词”纯屑虚构;选项B“英国历史悠久”、选项C“英国人借鉴了许多外来词”文章中有所提及,但都不是词汇大的根本原因。
