　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　A

　　Among the many languages spoken in the world，some practices may be challenging to language learners.Some aspects of English may seem pointless，silly or redundant(多余的)．The truth is that many languages would benefit from a modern update.Language has been an organically evolving process and few modern languages have had an opportunity for a global agreement on language improvements.Those who have already learned a language may not want to change their language，even though it may make the language better in general.Here are some of the challenging things learners of English should watch for and be careful of.

　　Many words in the English language sound same or similar.These words may have very different meanings，so they can only be understood when spoken in the context.Although these words sound similar，they may be spelled in different ways.For an English learner the difference in spelling may seem rather silly and it possibly is.Using a different spelling can mean very different things in written English.Here is one common example.The word meet and the word meat are common words that are spelled almost the same way.The two words sound the same，but they mean very different things.

　　Another common issue learners of the English language may find is the classical spelling of some words.There have actually been petitions(请求)to update the classical spelling of these words.Certain words have already changed slowly over the years and some are actually in the process of changing today.The word synaesthetic is now being accepted when spelled as synesthetic.This is an advanced word for English learners，but the spelling update is a sign of English language progress to make it easier.Another common word that has already changed to an easier spelling is the word music.This word used to be spelled as musick.This update reportedly happened as a result of Noah Webster’s dictionary in the past 200 years.Such updates are often the result of common misspellings by users of the English language.It is possibly an update made by the majority.If the majority tire of a challenging spelling，it appears to change.

　　Many issues are a result of a difference in spelling of British and American English.The American spelling is generally a more modern update and the British spelling is apparently slower to change.The amount of words can be surprising and there are different ways to spell the same words in different dictionaries.The use of the letter “L” doubled in certain words is one example.In American English the word dialed is spelled with one “L” and in British English the word is spelled as dialled.This would be automatically corrected one way or the other by a program such as Microsoft Word，depending on which dictionary the software is using.

　　One look at the supposed tomb of Shakespeare shows how much English spelling can change.The word friend is spelled as frend on the sign above the tomb.

　　1．The underlined word “pointless” in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by “

　　答案　A

　　解析　词义猜测题。由下文中的内容可知在英语中有不少词音同义异或是拼写繁冗，所以pointless在此应该是表示“毫无意义”。

　　.

　　A．giving examples
