2019-2020年高二英语寒假作业第十四天一、美文晨读While ine worry is a rather mon problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is monly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”. In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will e back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is mon both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.二、词汇训练1. My elder sisters and brothers have moved away from home and are _（自立的）now. 2. Her _（座右铭）is “Never say die”.3.

Be the envy of all of your friends in school and be the 1of your teachers and parents ! First, a best student must study hard. This is the primary task of a student. Remember, if you dont do anything, you will be nothing. Ask questions in class if you do not understand something. In addition, try to enjoy all the 2you learn at school and work hard on them. It seems that hard-working students can have success more 3. Second, good study habits are very useful. For example, when you prepare for a test, make 4that you have all of the proper materials including books, pencils, paper, calculators, etc. Underline the words that you do not understand.

We all have a choice：we can either bury our heads in the sand and spend the rest of our lives wishing Shakespeare were alive and well, or we can embrace（拥抱）the new English, enter into the spirit of the Internet age and call it “weblish”. “You cant avoid it, for the simple reason that whenever a new variety of language es along, it inevitably impacts on the language as a whole,” says Dr. David Crystal, honorary professor of linguistics（语言学）at the University of Wales in Bangor, whose book Language and the Internet has just been published.The trouble with keeping up with the new English is not that there are so many new words but that the old words no longer mean what we thought they did. In the past, if someone said they did not have Windows, you would have to suppose they lived in a cave. These days, it is probably because they use a Mac（which is a puter, not a raincoat）. Spam is as disliked as it ever was, but whereas it once meant an unappetizing（引不起食欲的）canned meat, it now stands for unwanted “junk” email. Spellings are changing, too. Not only is text-messaging playing“hvc wth vrbs”havoc（混乱）with verbs, but the conventions of email munication place little emphasis on “perfect spelling”.Weblish loves to see nouns happily bee verbs（“Please bookmark this site”）, and verbs bee nouns（“Send me the download”）. Verbs and prepositions are regularly thrown together to bee new nouns or adjectives（dial up, logon, print out, pull-down, upload）, while others are created from simply pairing nouns：cyberspace, ethernet, Internet, hyperlink, metatag, netspeak.1. The best title of this passage would be “_”.A. Keep Up with the Latest WeblishB. Keep Up with the Latest Development in EnglishC. Newly-invented English WordsD. Technology and English2. We can infer from the first paragraph that_.A. some people wish Shakespeare were still aliveB. people may have different attitudes towards weblishC. all people wele weblishD. weblish causes fear among people3. The third paragraph is mainly about _.A. different meanings of English wordsB. the rapid changes of English wordsC. the difficulty in understanding words related to puter and the InternetD. mon words used on the Internet4. The author thinks the main difficulty people in keeping up with weblish is that_.A. old words take on new meaningsB. there are so many new wordsC. the technology is changing too fastD. weblish words are full of spelling mistakes5. David Crystal would probably agree that _.A. people should not accept weblishB. weblish can cause misunderstandings among peopleC. weblish will destroy the English languageD. people should know something about weblishBFlorian Albert, the only Hungarian to win the European Footballer of the Year award, died on Monday aged 70, the Hungarian Football Association said in a statement.

He was also named Young Player of the Tournament.Alberts son, Florian Albert Jr., also played for Ferencvaros and Hungary and the clubs stadium is named after him.There have also been concerns recently regarding another Hungarian great, Gyula Grosics, the goalkeeper of the Mighty Magyars of the 1950s.
