English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary-perhaps as many as two million words.

However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,　 public bathrooms have no baths in them.

And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.

1.According to the passage ______.

A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things

B. there should be egg in an eggplant

C. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree

D. boxing rings should be round

2.Which of the following is the correct plural?

A. Beeth.　　 B. Geese.

C. Meese.　　 D. Tooth.

3.Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?

A. A wise man and a wise guy.

B. Overlook and oversee.

C. Quite a lot and quite a few.

D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.

4.The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “______”.

A. blow　　 　 B. roll up

C. get hurt　 D. finish

5.Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.

A. clever　　 B. crazy　　 C. lazy　　　 D. Dull

It’s OK to say you’ve never heard of grime (伦敦地下音乐) - unless you’re from the UK. That’s because this music type was invented in the UK in the early 2000s.

To someone who’s not familiar with underground music culture, ifs easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didn’t bother to tell them apart，until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy and J Hus led this year’s Mobo – “music of black origin”, an award in the UK. Just like UK electronic music and hip-hop, from which grime drew influence, it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop, grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs.

Lady Leshurr，known as the “Grime Queen”, said that she once tried to hide her accent, as she didn’t want people to judge her. But one day, she realized that she didn’t need to change herself just to please others. And there’s no doubt that this is the soul of grime music: be yourself.

Grime has challenged modem music in its production beauty and its expressions. Also different from the hip-hop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena like those who suffer from disasters and the gap between the rich and poor.

Although still quite a young music type, grime seems to be getting loved by more and more people. In 2016, the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead.

However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted widely or not, one thing is for sure: in grime, singers always stay true to themselves.

1.Why is it easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime for some people?

A. They are the same in music form.

B. They both make a lot of noise.

C. They have a great effect on each other.

D. They both developed out of electronic music.

2.What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2?

A. The award.　　 B. Hip-Hop.

C. Electronic music.　　 D. Grime.

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Grime is widely accepted all over the world now.

B. In grime, singers need to change themselves to please others.

C. More and more people like grime because it has a long history.

D. Grime singers have a strong sense of social responsibility.

4.Why does the author mention the success of Skepta?

A. To show that grime is getting more and more popular.

B. To prove that grime singers stay true to themselves.

C. To explain that underground music is still quite young.

D. To show that Skepta has greater musical talent than David Bowie.
