You might ask, what is Chinglish, anyway? It depends on whom you ask. Chinese parents

You might ask, what is Chinglish, anyway？ It depends on whom you ask. Chinese parents raising their children in English-speaking countries will probably answer: Chinglish is a useful mix of standard Chinese or Cantonese terms with day-to-day English. It is indeed convenient to shorten a sentence such as “I don’t want to go now because it is too hot and it will be hard to find a parking lot anyway” into “Don’t go la, hot la, tai mafan la.” For the Chinese high-school teacher, Chinglish is the students’ unsuccessful attempts to understand English in a Chinese way, resulting in sentences such as “Please hurry to walk or we’ll be late” or “She is very miserable and her heart broke.” However, the English-speaking traveler more frequently comes across Chinglish in the form. of public signs. No matter how one looks at the phenomenon, one thing is clear: Chinglish is not a language. Chinglish might be found, according to some scholars, in Chinese Pidgin (混杂语) English, which came to life in the eighteenth century when the British set up their first trading posts in Guangzhou. The term came from the word “business” and served, according to the great Yale China scholar Jonathan Spencer, “to keep the differing communities in touch, by mixing words from Portuguese, Indian, English, and various Chinese dialects, and spelling them according to Chinese grammar.” Some believe that expressions like “Long time no see” or “No can do” appeared during that time. Others refer to the late Qing-Dynasty Empress Dowager Cixi, who forced Chinese villagers to live and work in the West in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Another possibility is the so-called Yangjingbang , a mix of English and Chinese in the time of Lu Xun, China’s greatest twentieth-century writer. Very influential, too, are the large numbers of people from China to the United States, who came from the Gold Rush time to the last twenty-five years since the beginning of China’s policy of Reform. and Opening. No matter which theory one prefers, two things are certain: first, Chinglish exists because people move, and second, as a language phenomenon (现象), it is almost new. Although most Chinglish expressions are widely regarded as mistakes, occasionally some are found enjoyable. Such errors will not die, as they keep coming all the more in our time, largely thanks to the Internet.

1.According to the passage, Chinglish is regarded as useful by ______.

A.some western scholars

B.English-speaking travelers

C.Chinese high-school teachers

D.Chinese parents in English-speaking countries

2. The second paragraph mainly discusses ______.

A.why Chinglish became popular

B.how Chinglish came into being

C.who invented the term “Chinglish”

D.where Chinglish was most popular

3.According to Jonathan Spencer, Pidgin English serves to ______.

A.force Chinese villagers to learn English

B.overcome language difficulties in business

C.help peoples communicate with each other

D.enlarge the vocabulary of the Chinese language

4. According to the passage, Yangjingbang (Line 11, Paragraph 2) is ______.

A.a kind of Chinglish

B.an influential language

C.a mix of any two languages

D.a language in Lu Xun’s time

Living in Brazil (巴西)and Switzerland

Moving to a different city may seem difficult. You have to change schools and get used to your new home. But you can always go back to that city to visit. When you move to another country, things are different. However, difficult as it may be, the experience can be rewarding.

My dad, a Brazilian, is really funny and can make friends quickly. My mom, a Swiss, is usually quiet and a bit shy. She likes to be organized， But my dad never makes plans. She enjoys staying home, but my dad always wants to go out. Swiss and Brazilian一what a mix!

After my parents got married, they moved to Switzerland. There they had my brother and me. When I was two, we moved to Brazil. During my childhood we visited Switzerland every year.

Many people ask me where I prefer to live: Brazil or Switzerland. It's really hard to answer because I love both countries. Brazil is a big country with many states and people. There are multiple dialects and many types of foods. People here have beautiful smiles and are always happy, even if they are poor. In the south the climate is cool, but in the north It's hot and humid.

Switzerland, on the other hand, is small but beautiful and clean. There are four languages in that tiny country. People there are very different from Brazilians: they are wealthy, independent, and organized. The food is delicious, and of course, the famous Swiss chocolate is great, and the climate is dry and cool.

I love both countries. In Switzerland, it's pleasant, calm, and peaceful everywhere. I enjoyed my stay there very much. But now I am happy here in Brazil. I feel excited and at home.

Cars–curse or craze?Johnny Watson, 30It is easy to criticize cars – they cause pollutio

Cars–curse or craze？

Johnny Watson, 30

It is easy to criticize cars – they cause pollution and accidents, and so on. But what are alternatives？ Nobody wants to travel in a slow, smelly old bus when you can relax in the comfort of your own car. In most countries, the public transport system is inadequate, expensive and inefficient – and anyway, cities today are designed to meet drivers’ needs, with fast roads and car parks everywhere. The car industry also provides thousands of jobs. Roads are getting safer and more efficient every year, and cars are causing less pollution because of lead-free petrol and other technological improvement. What’s the problem？

Amanda Rees, 33

I am much happier now that I don’t have my car. I used to spend an hour stuck in a traffic jam each morning and that made me angry and irritable for the rest of the day. I was so stressed! The worst thing about cars, though, is the number of accidents. Did you know that somebody dies in a road accident in Britain every two and a half hours？ Another thing I hate is the way that road building is destroying the countryside. Finally, I would love to live without that constant traffic noise coming through the window. In fact, I think it’s the noise that bothers me most.

1、What does Johnny think of cars？ ()

2、Which is not the reason why Johnny supports cars？()

3、Did Amanda use to have a car？()

A、Yes， she did

B、No， she didn’t

C、It doesn’t mention

4、What bothers Amanda most？()

第7题

Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space.The amount of space

a person needs around him is a cultural difference, not an economic one.Knowing your own psychological space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home.If you were brought up in a two-child family, and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are, if you have two children or more, that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them.In America, for example, they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies.This is very rare in the world.

In many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in a bed near them.

The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs.Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it.Others have separate little corners where family members go to be alone.

Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressures.It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.

26.The passage is chiefly concerned with _______.

A.American way of living

B.living conditions in different countries

C.space requirements in different cultures

D.space requirements and economic factors

27.According to the author, the amount of living space a person needs is decided by ______.

A.his cultural background

B.the relationship between the family members

C.his financial situations

D.how many rooms there are in his house

28.The example of American families seems to suggest that ______.

A.Americans are more eager to be alone when they are at home

B.psychological space needs are developed when one is very young

C.it is advisable to let the baby sleep with his parents

D.it is advisable to let the baby sleep in a separate room

29.Some families gather close to each other at home because _______.

A.they have limited living space

B.it satisfies their psychological space needs

C.they have been brought up in a small family

D.they haven’t small corners for themselves

30.According to the author, psychological space needs _______.

第8题

Many people with ordinary jobs may dream of long holidays in foreign countries, but th

ey know they couldn’t afford them even if they could get enough time off from the company.However, there are a few businesses which have started schemes to reward employees with long service by giving them a chance to fulfill such ambitions by providing both the time and the money.

One company gives every employee over 50 years old and who has been with them for 25 years, six months’ holiday on full pay.At the same time additional money can be made available by way of loans, to help them with projects they cannot otherwise offer.Most of the people who have already benefited from the scheme, have used the opportunity to travel to distant places like the Far East or South America and some have spent the money on their favorite hobbies, such as photography.

The cost of providing these special holidays is fairly high but the directors feel it is well worthwhile because the employees are greatly refreshed by their long break from the pressures and routines of their jobs.The only problems are that the people concerned tend to have key jobs which can be difficult to fill on a temporary basis for a relatively long time.Besides, some employees find it difficult to re-adjust to the old routine after such a long time away.In addition, one or two people may not feel secure at leaving their job in someone else’s hands.On balance, however, there is no doubt that the idea is beneficial to industrial relations and a wonderful reward for long service.

31.Many workers would like to ___________.

A.dream of long holidays at home

B.spend a long time in unusual places

C.buy a holiday away from home

D.have a long holiday after many years

32.One company____________.

A.gives money to employees over 25 years

B.lends staff money to go on holidays

C.allows long holidays to certain staff

D.arranges long holidays for old employees

33.Most of the employees in the scheme ____________.

A.take foreign trips
