Few men have influenced the development of American English to the extent that Noah Webster did.After a short career in law,he turned to teaching,but he discovered how inadequate the available schoolbooks were for the children of a new and independent nation.
In response to the need for truly American textbooks,Webster published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language,a three-volume work that consisted of a speller,a grammar,and a reader.The first volume,which was generally known as The American Spelling Book,was so popular that eventually it sold more than 80 million copies and provided him with a considerable income for the rest of his life.Can you imagine that?
Anyway,in 1807,Noah Webster began his greatest work,An American Dictionary of the English Language.In preparing the manuscript,he devoted ten years to the study of English and its relationship to other languages,and seven more years to the writing itself. Published in two volumes in 1828,An American Dictionary of the English Language has become the recognized authority for usage in the United States.Webster's purpose in writing it was to demonstrate that the American language was developing distinct meanings,pronunciations,and spellings from those of British English. He is responsible for advancing many of the simplified spelling forms that distinguish American English from British.
Webster was the first author to gain copyright protection in the United States by being awarded a copyright for The American Spelling Book and he continued to lobby over the next fifty years for the protection of intellectual properties,that is,for author's rights.By the time that Webster brought out the second edition of his dictionary,which included 70,000 entries instead of the original 38,000, the name Webster had become synonymous with American dictionaries.It was this second edition that served as the basis for the many revisions that have been produced by others, ironically,under the uncopyrighted Webster name.A Grammatical Institute of the English Language was published in order to satisfy the need for truly American textbooks.

1828年出版的《韦氏英语字典》是韦伯最伟大的著作。依据是第三段第一句话：Noah Webster began his greatest work , An American Dictionary of the English Language.1807年，韦伯开始编写他最伟大的著作《韦氏英语词典》。因此该句话是正确的。
韦伯反对奴隶制而且对于废除美国奴隶制作出了很大的贡献。文中对此没有提及。
韦伯编写《韦氏英语字典》的目的是为了证明美式英语优于英式英语。第三段倒数第二句提到：Webster's purpose in writing it was to demonstrate that the American language was developing distinct meanings,pronunciations,and spellings from those of British English.韦伯编写这本字典旨在于证明美国的语言在继承了英式英语后逐渐形成了自己特有的意义、发音和拼写。因此这句话是错误的。
韦伯终其一生积极维护版权。最后一段第一句中提到：Webster was the first author to gain copyright protection in the United States…and he continued to lobby over the next fifty years for the protection of intellectual properties, that is, for author's rights．根据参考译文可以得知这句话是正确的。

The Road to Modern English
At the end of the 16th century, above five to seven million people spoke English. Nearly all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries.
Today, more people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before.
Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don't speak the same kind of English. Look at this example:
British Betty: Would you like to see my flat?
American Amy: Yes, I'd like to come up to your apartment.
So why has English changed over time? Actually all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first, the English language spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based more on German than the English we speak at present. Then gradually between about AD 800 and1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too. English began to speak in both countries.
Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of English language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.
English now is also 'spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947.
During that time English became the language for government and education. English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa. Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners. Will Chinese English develop its own identity? Only time will tell.答案：解析：Class Type: Reading class
Teaching Contents: The Road to Modern English
Teaching Objectives:
(1) Knowledge objective
Students can learn the development of English and the reasons that English has changed over time.
(2) Ability objective
Students can master predict the content of the text according to the tide and improve their reading abilities through the process of skimming and scanning.
(3) Emotional objective
Students can have a deeper impression of the popularity of English, realize the importance of learning English and have a higher motivation to learn it.
Teaching Key and Difficult Points:
How to make students predict before reading, get the general idea and the specific information while reading.
Major Steps:
Step 1 Pre-reading (6 minutes)
Activity 1 Guessing game
The teacher asks students to guess the meanings of the sentences which are written in old English.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.
Then the teacher explains the background knowledge of the sentences.
(Justification: The guessing game can arouse students' interest in the topic and activate the class attnosphere.
Students will realize that the old English is different from modern English when talking about the meaning of these sentences written in old English, which will get them mentally prepared for the reading comprehension.)
Activity 2 Prediction
Ask students to make a prediction according to the title of the text.
(Justification: Students' predictions will get their mind closer to the theme of the text to be read and make their reading more intriguing and purposeful.)
Step 2 While-reading (12 minutes)
Activity I Skimming
The teacher asks students to read the text, check if they have made the right predictions and try to match the general idea of each paragraph.
Choose one or two groups to show their understanding, give comments and make a summary:
Paragraph 1Many people all over the world speak English.
Paragraph 2Why has English changed over time
Paragraph 3English is now spoken in South Asia.
Paragraph 4Native speakers can understand each other even if they don' t speak the same kind of English.
Paragraph 5Finally by the 19th centurythe language was settled.
Then the teacher checks the answers.
(Justification: This step will help students confirm or reject their predictions and get the main idea of the text.)
Activity 2 Filling in the blanks
The teacher asks students listen to the recording of the text, underline the phrases that have something to do with the time and then fill in the form.
Then the teacher checks the answers.
(Justification: In the process of filling the form, students' reading skill of scanning for the detailed information will be improved, and it will help student understand the text logically.)
Step 3 Post-reading (7 minutes)
Activity 1 Retelling
T: Suppose you are an English teacher, and you have to give a brief introduction of the development of modern English to your students.
Then the teacher asks one of them to show his/her retelling.
Activity 2 Group discussion
The teacher lets students discuss the question why has English changed over time in groups and asks some of them to share their opinions in class.(The answers may vary. But it doesn't matter what their answers may be. The most important thing is to encourage them to express their own thoughts.)
The teacher then makes a summary and emphasizes the importance of learning English.
(Justification: Retelling will make students have a better understanding of the text, and the group discussion will encourage them to express their opinions freely.) -
