41、In the year 787 began a series of events which were to have a great effect upon the history of the English language. For it was in that year, according to the records that have come down to us, that the Scandinavians made their first attack on the English coast. It is not known exactly why, after centuries of peace, the Scandinavians suddenly began their attacks on all the lands along the North Sea and the Baltic. But in the eighth century some development, perhaps economic or perhaps political, caused these people to leave their homes and seek adventure at sea. These daring sea-warriors are commonly known as Vikings, and the period of their great activity, starting in the eighth century and extending to the beginning of the eleventh, is popularly called the Viking Age. As a result of these events, large numbers of Scandinavians settled in England, becoming farmers and often marrying English women. Some idea of their numbers may be gained from the fact that more than 1400 places in England still have Scandinavian names. Most of the new inhabitants were Danes, though there were also considerable Norwegian settlements, particularly in the northwest. With the gradual and peaceful union of Scandinavians and English, it was only natural that the two peoples would begin to borrow words from each other’s language--the languages being quite similar to begin with. Indeed, because of this similarity it is often very difficult to determine whether a particular word in Modern English is a native or a borrowed word. And if we expect to find that the borrowed Scandinavian words fall into any special classes, we shall be disappointed. The civilization of the Danes was very much like that of the English themselves, and so the words that were borrowed by the English tend to be of a simple, everyday character. Their varied nature can best be shown by a few examples. Among the nouns which English acquired from Scandinavian are birth, dirt, egg, guess, kid, seat, skin, sky, want, and window. The borrowed verbs include call, die, get, give, lift, raise and take. Quite obviously the words in the above lists do not represent new objects and ideas which the English received from the Scandinavians. Rather, the Scandinavian and English words for these and many other everyday objects, actions, and ideas must have been used side by side for a while, and the survival of one or the other of them in English must often have been a mere matter of chance. Altogether about nine hundred words in present-day Standard English are definitely known to have been borrowed from Scandinavian. And quite likely there are at least an equal number for which Scandinavian origin is probable or which show some Scandinavian influence. In addition, scholars tell us that thousands of Scandinavian words are still used in the everyday speech of the people who live in the north and east of England--words which have never entered the standard language but which have been handed down from generation to generation of English-speakers within certain regions of the country. As for the hundreds upon hundreds of Scandinavian personal names and place names which have been taken into English, it is not possible in this brief survey to do more than give a few examples. To illustrate the former, we may refer to personal names ending in -son, such as Johnson, Thompson, and Wilson. Such names showing a typical Scandinavian formation appear as far back as the records of late Old English times. In similar fashion, English place names ending in -by, such as Derby and Rugby, clearly come to us from Scandinavian, where the ending signified a town or settlement. What do we know about the reasons for the Scandinavians to attack the English coast? 单选题 2分

It is not known exactly why, after centuries of peace, the Scandinavians suddenly began their attacks on all the lands along the North Sea and the Baltic. But in the eighth century some development, perhaps economic or perhaps political, caused these people to leave their homes and seek adventure at sea. These daring sea-warriors are commonly known as Vikings, and the period of their great activity, starting in the eighth century and extending to the beginning of the eleventh, is popularly called the Viking Age. As a result of these events, large numbers of Scandinavians settled in England, becoming farmers and often marrying English women. Some idea of their numbers may be gained from the fact that more than 1400 places in England still have Scandinavian names. Most of the new inhabitants were Danes, though there were also considerable Norwegian settlements, particularly in the northwest. With the gradual and peaceful union of Scandinavians and English, it was only natural that the two peoples would begin to borrow words from each other’s language--the languages being quite similar to begin with. Indeed, because of this similarity it is often very difficult to determine whether a particular word in Modern English is a native or a borrowed word. And if we expect to find that the borrowed Scandinavian words fall into any special classes, we shall be disappointed. The civilization of the Danes was very much like that of the English themselves, and so the words that were borrowed by the English tend to be of a simple, everyday character. Their varied nature can best be shown by a few examples. Among the nouns which English acquired from Scandinavian are birth, dirt, egg, guess, kid, seat, skin, sky, want, and window. The borrowed verbs include call, die, get, give, lift, raise and take. Quite obviously the words in the above lists do not represent new objects and ideas which the English received from the Scandinavians. Rather, the Scandinavian and English words for these and many other everyday objects, actions, and ideas must have been used side by side for a while, and the survival of one or the other of them in English must often have been a mere matter of chance. Altogether about nine hundred words in present-day Standard English are definitely known to have been borrowed from Scandinavian. And quite likely there are at least an equal number for which Scandinavian origin is probable or which show some Scandinavian influence. In addition, scholars tell us that thousands of Scandinavian words are still used in the everyday speech of the people who live in the north and east of England--words which have never entered the standard language but which have been handed down from generation to generation of English-speakers within certain regions of the country. As for the hundreds upon hundreds of Scandinavian personal names and place names which have been taken into English, it is not possible in this brief survey to do more than give a few examples. To illustrate the former, we may refer to personal names ending in -son, such as Johnson, Thompson, and Wilson. Such names showing a typical Scandinavian formation appear as far back as the records of late Old English times. In similar fashion, English place names ending in -by, such as Derby and Rugby, clearly come to us from Scandinavian, where the ending signified a town or settlement. Which of the following is a clear evidence that Scandinavians settled in England in large numbers? 单选题 2分

46、Honesty may be the best policy, but lying has its merits--even when we are deceiving ourselves. Numerous studies have shown that those who are practiced in the art of self-deception might be more successful in the spheres of sport and business. They might even be happier than people who are always true to themselves. But is there ever a downside to believing our own lies? A study by Zoe Chance of Yale University tested the idea, by watching what happens when people cheat on tests. Chance and her colleagues ran experiments which involved asking students to answer IQ and general knowledge questions. Half the participants were given a copy of the test paper which had--apparently “in error”--been printed with the answers listed at the bottom. This meant they had to resist the temptation to check or improve their answers against the real answers as they went along. As you’d expect, some of these participants couldn’t help but cheat. Collectively, the group that had access to the answers performed better on the tests than participants who didn’t--even though both groups of participants were selected at random from students at the same university, so were, on average, of similar ability. We can’t know for sure who was cheating--probably some of the people who had answers would have got high scores even without the answers--but it means that the average performance in the group was partly down to individual smarts, and partly down to having the answers at hand. The crucial question for Chance’s research was this: did people in the “cheater” group know that they’d been relying on the answers? Or did they attribute their success in the tests solely to their own intelligence? The way the researchers tested this was to ask the students to predict how well they'd do on a follow-up test. They were allowed to quickly glance over the second test sheet so that they could see that it involved the same kind of questions-and, importantly, that no answers had been “mistakenly” printed at the bottom this time. The researchers reasoned that if the students who had cheated realized that cheating wasn’t an option the second time around, they should predict they wouldn’t do as well on this second test. Not so. Self deception won the day. The people who’d had access to the answers predicted, on average, that they’d get higher scores on the follow-up--equivalent to giving them something like a 10-point IQ boost. When tested, however, they scored far lower. The researchers ran another experiment to check that the effect was really due to the cheaters’ inflated belief in their own abilities. In this experiment, students were offered a cash reward for accurately predicting their scores on the second test. Sure enough, those who had been given the opportunity to cheat overestimated their ability and lost out--earning 20% less than the other students. The implication is that people in Chance’s experiment--people very much like you and me--had tricked themselves into believing they were smarter than they were. There may be benefits from doing this--confidence, satisfaction, or more easily gaining the trust of others but there are also disadvantages. Whenever circumstances change and you need to accurately predict how well you’ll do, it can cost to believe you’re better than you are. That self-deception has its costs has some interesting implications. Morally, most of us would say that self-deception is wrong, But aside from whether self-deception is undesirable, we should expect it to be present in all of us to some degree (because of the benefits), but to be limited as well(because of the costs). Self-deception isn’t something that is always better in larger doses--there must be an mount of it for which the benefits outweigh the costs, most of the time. We’re probably all self-deceiving to some degree. The irony being, because it is self-deception, we can’t know how often.
