20.On Christmas,children are curious about what to be in the stockings (长筒袜).It might be safe to think children will ask Santa for an extensive list of toys,games and big dinners.But a survey of their lists for Father Christmas has shown many have more serious concerns,requesting"a dad"instead.Despite their material requests,a'dad'is tenth most popular Christmas list request for children who would be happy to give up the latest iPad,toy or new pet,a survey of 2,000 British parents has found.
Most children will put a new baby brother or sister at the top of their Christmas list,closely followed by a request for a real-life reindeer (驯鹿).A"pet horse"was the third most popular choice,with a"car"at number four.
The survey also found children aged 3 to 12 years also wanted a dog,chocolate and a stick of rock.Traditional hopes for a white Christmas were represented by a wish for"snow"in ninth place,with sensible youngsters also requesting a"house".Of the top 50 festive requests,17 related to pets and animals,with some imaginative children hoping for a chicken and an elephant.iPhones and iPads also appeared on the list,with some quirky children asking for the moon,a time machine,and a pond cover.A request for a"mum"reached number 23 on the list.

分析 人们一般认为孩子们对于圣诞礼物的期望仅仅局限于玩具,新衣服或者大餐等等,但是一项调查发现孩子们的愿望远非如此.让人们吃惊的是位于礼物单榜首的是新出生的小弟弟或者小妹妹,其次是希望能够拥有真正的驯鹿,紧接着是宠物马和汽车.甚至还有的孩子异想天开,竟然想要月亮或者时空机.

解答 41.A.细节理解题.根据文章第二段Most children will put a new baby brother or sister at the top of their Christmas list可知有一个弟弟或者妹妹是很多孩子们期望的,是孩子们位于榜首的愿望,故答案选A、
42.D.细节理解题.根据文章第二段内容A"pet horse"was the third most popular choice,with a"car"at number four.和第三段内容可知在孩子们期待的礼物中没有猴子,答案选D.
43.B.词义猜测题.由"quirky children"后面的修饰语 asking for the moon,a time machine,and a pond cover.可知这些孩子的愿望是古怪,疯狂的,由此判断这些孩子是有着离奇想法的孩子,答案选B.
44.C.细节理解题.根据文章第三段内容可知在调查中发现孩子们把拥有驯鹿这个愿望放在第二位,而汽车则是排在第四位,由此判断C选项内容错误,故选C.

10."Long time no see"is a very interesting sentence.When I first read this sentence from an American friend's email,I laughed.I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.
Obviously,it is a word-by-word literal(文字的) translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure!Later on,my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting.I was too thrilled to believe her.Her words could not convince me at all.So I did a research on google.com.To my surprise,there are over 60 thousand web pages containing"Long time no see."This sentence has been widely used in emails,letters,newspapers,movies,books,or any other possible places.Though it is sort of informal,it is part of the language that Americans use daily.Ironically,if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word,the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence.Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies.In the 1930s,Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named"Charlie Chan"on wide screens.Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius."Long time no see"was his trademark.Soon after Charlie Chan,"Long time no see"became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies.
Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew.All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together,and they change the color and taste of each other.American Chinese,though a minority ethnic(少数民族的成员) group in the United States,is also contributing some changes to the stew!Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew.
You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese,such as pizza from Italian,susi from Japanese,and déjà vu from French etc.There is a long list!Americans do not just simply borrow something from others.They will modify it and make it their own,so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant,or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store.Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays,I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future.In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor.
67.The writer himself felt surprised atA.
A."Long time no see"used as standard American English   
B.the Chinglish expression"Long time no see"
C.so many literal translation of the expressions used in America
D.finding out Americans seldom use the expression
68.The underlined word"stew"in the 4th paragraph probably meansB.
A.Confucius'words       
B.a mixture of different cultures
C.a kind of cooked dish           
D.American changing cultures
69.According to the passage,it can be inferred thatD.
A.detectives translate the phrase"Long time no see"
B.cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew
C.the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languages
D.Hollywood made"Long time no see"popular
70.The main idea of the passage is thatB.
A.some Chinese expressions are introduced into English
B.American English keep being enriched from different cultures
C.some American expressions can be used in China
D.you'll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in America.

11.When did you last go outside for sports?Some students might need a while to remember.But for students in Yangzhou University it is easy to remember as they need to run in the morning at least three times a week during their two terms.The university even uses fingerprint punch-in clocks(指纹签到机) to manage students'records.However,some students still try to skip(不参加) morning running.To them,sports are just not important enough.
Now colleges are seeing a change in the student lifestyle from outdoor enthusiasts to indoor couch potatoes and Internet addicts.The Internet and various on-campus services,from food delivery to laundry,are leading to a student culture of staying in dormitories.A student can have every need met without leaving the dormitory.

But Jin Yinghua,a professor at Beijing Sports University,said that sports are not only for keeping fit,but also an irreplaceable(不能替代的)"education"for students.Sports are not only a way for students to train their body,but also an important way to learn responsibility,teamwork and devotion.

The first type of friend is just an acquaintance(泛泛之交).This means that you only know their names.You might not even remember what they look like if you go away for a short vacation.You don't miss them when they are elsewhere.It is also this type of friend who gives you the most amount of aggravation (恼怒).Since most of the time you are placed in a position where you have to act friendly,you would not normally tell an acquaintance when he or she is doing something that makes you feel angry,such as tapping the fingers on a table or shouting loudly.I call them"pest friends".

15.As everyone knows,different countries have different customs in giving gifts.
In China you must never give a clock to a Chinese person,because the sound of the word for"clock"is similar to the sound of"death".Also,don't wrap (用…包裹) a present in white,black,or blue paper,because they are the colors for funerals (葬礼).Don't give a knife,because something sharp can cut a friendship.

5.Making greener choices and encouraging healthy lifestyles can promote your health and benefit the environment.Here are some guidelines to follow:
Choose foods thoughtfully
Americans have never had such a variety or abundance of food to choose from.Besides so many choices,we now hear about our"food print",the amount of land needed to supply one person's nutritional needs for a year.Do we buy cherry tomatoes from Mexico or tomatoes grown locally in a hothouse?Do.we get the Granny Smiths from the fanners'market or the supermarket?Is organic produce healthier for us and the planet?
These are very complex issues that require analysis of many criteria,including the energy used in producing and transporting the food,as well as the type of soil and methods of raising the food.
Despite the complexities,there are some general guidelines you can follow.For instance,eat less meat or eat low on the food chain.Your doctor may have recommended you to restrict your consume red meat because of its too much fat content.Beyond th at,there are environmental reasons,too.Raise food animals contributes substantially to climate change because a meat-based diet requires more land,energy and water than a plant-based one.
Drinking plenty of fluids is significant during hot weather or when exercising.But is bottled water the way to go?You may not think so when seeing the true costs.Based on a survey,manufacturing the 30-plus billion plastic water bottles can produce more than 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide and use here times the amount of water in the bottle.Adding in transportation,the energy used comes to over 50 million barrels of oil equivalent (等价物).Consequently,skip the bottled water and drink tap water,both at home and at restaurants.Additionally,bottled water is not necessarily cleaner than tap.
1.In Paragraph 2 the author puts forward three questions mainlyD.
A.to prove Americans have less food to choose from

12.Today's 20-somethings are often called"millennials."They grew up around the time of the  millennium(千年)in the year  2000
Are these adults?The law says yes.But societies have their expectations for what being an adult means.Some say today's 20-somethings are having a"delayed adulthood."The term"boomerang kids"means young people leave their parents'house but,like a boomerang thrown through the air,later return.
Research psychologist Jeffrey Arnett says these terms suggest many Americans are frustrated with 20-somethings.He says Americans should consider the positive aspects.They usually have various school and work experiences or they might.try living in different cities or countries.
Cheryssa Jensen
Cheryssa Jensen might agree.She says she expected to get married right after college and to find a job near her parents.Instead,she traveled the western part of the U.S.,went to a dozen different cities there.Her job also took her to Taiwan,Sweden and Denmark.After a year of traveling,she was not sure what to do.
"Some words were nagging at me,saying,'What else,what else can you do,what else can you do while you re young?"
Julia Shaw
Julia Shaw is 28,just a year older than Cheryssa,but very different in the way she has lived her life so far.
After college,Julia began her career as a writer.She and her husband have stayed in Washington,and have lived there for the last two years.
Julia says many people are surprised that she is married and settled in one place.But she believes she is more free than many other people of her generation and she says marriage has made her life more stable.
Though their stories are different,Julia and Cheryssa still have some things in common.Both say their families are proud of them.Both say they do not feel pressured by society to follow a particular path.And both say they are happy with their decisions.
Julia Shaw and Cheryssa Jensen have something else in common.They have not made a high-paying career their first priority.Instead,most in the survey said the most important things to them are being good parents,having a successful marriage and helping other people.
