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 changes in the way we talk and write in hopes that it catches_on. For example, I pronounce the letter “l” in salmon on purpose to make people annoyed and to sound more different or complicated. I even pronounce colonel the correct or French way.
I can only hope these two minor changes to the English language make sense to you, and you will help to keep up these minor changes forever in your everyday life.
文章大意:不知道你注意了没有?英语中有些单词中的字母是不发音的。这是由于长期的历史原因造成的。我们该怎样对待它们呢?
1.We can learn from the passage________.
C. all the words with silent letters come from French
D. linguists will solve the problem of dumb letters
答案:B 推理判断题。由第一段第四句话“All of these words have at least one letter that is not typically pronounced”可知,“know, design, island, school, wrist, naughty, and salmon”这些单词至少有一个字母不发音,再由第四段第三句话“I pronounce the letter ‘l’ in salmon on purpose”可知salmon单词中的字母l不发音,所以B项正确。由第二段可知,colonel单词的发音规则是有一些字母不发音,但是不在该单词拼写之中的有些字母还会发音,所以A项错误;由第三段可知,法语只是这一现象的主要原因,所以C项错误;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项错误。
