Question

【题目】I’ve recently discovered that I have a second personality(个性) when I speak English, compared to the original me when I speak Chinese.

Speaking English brings out 【1】 more outgoing, enthusiastic, relaxed and confident side of me. I am also more open 【2】 physical expressions when speaking English, such as hugging, gesturing and using more exaggerated (夸张的)【3】 (face) expressions. I have to say I love this new version of me 【4】 (well).

Similar things happened to my friend when we were traveling in Japan. My friend, a Chinese 【5】(speak) fluent Japanese, showed a more modest and gentle attitude when using Japanese. I think it must have something 【6】 (do) with the fact 【7】 the Japanese use special words and styles to show respect for an older person or a person at a higher position than themselves.

So learning a new language is really worthwhile. We can not only have direct 【8】 (communicate) with people from other countries, but also fully understand 【9】(we) and explore the different sides of us.

I’ve recently started to learn German. Probably in a few years I 【10】 (see) a more cautious, accurate and hardworking version of myself.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】a

【2】to

【3】facial

【4】better

【5】speaking

【6】to do

【7】that

【8】communication

【9】ourselves

【10】will see

【解析】我最近发现我说英语的时候会让我展现出另外一种个性，这跟我原有的性情不一样。我学日语的朋友也是如此，他在说日语的时候会显得更谦恭。我想，这一定是跟语言背后的文化有关的。

【1】a。句意：说英语会让我展现出一个更外向、热情、放松和自信的另一面个性。a 不定冠词，表泛指。

【2】to。be open to sth.“对……开放，易于接受……”。当说英语时我也会对身体动作更加接受，例如拥抱、手势、并且使用更加夸张的面部(facial)表情。

【3】facial。facial adj. 面部的。facial expression面部表情。解析见上题。

【4】better。我得说，我更(better)喜欢这样的自己。此处用比较级，其实是暗含了比较的对象，比起只说母语时候的自己的性情来说。

【5】speaking。现在分词短语speaking fluent Japanese作a Chinese的后置定语，一个日语说得很流利的中国人。现在分词与其所修饰的中心词之间是主谓关系。

【6】to do。have something to do with …“与……有关”。这一定跟日本人在跟长者或者地位比他们高的人说话的时候用敬语有关。

【7】that。that在此处引导同位语从句。同位语从句所修饰的词通常是表示抽象概念的词，同位语来解释说明它的含义和内容。

【8】communication。此处需要填名词communication作宾语。have direct communication with …与……有直接的交流。

【9】ourselves。反身代词作宾语，指主语(我们)自己。我们不但能与外国人直接交流，也能更全面地了解自己，发现自己的另一面。

【10】will see。或许几年后，我将会见到(will see)一个更谨慎，更精确，更努力的另一个我。
