    Standard English is the formal（正式的） English that you need to use when you write in coursework or in the exam. Standard English is the form of English you learn in school. All written English should be standard—that means it should be clear enough for anyone in Britain to understand it. Standard English developed as the main form of printed English in the 15th Century. At the time, every region of Britain used to spell words differently, but printers needed a fixed spelling.  Printers like Caxton chose the East Midlands dialect form which was used in London and the South East. Soon Standard English replaced（取代） all written dialect forms – the other forms of English spoken around the country. It also replaced French and Latin in law and in academic（学术的） work. In the 18th Century, people wrote dictionaries and grammar books which standardized spelling — Dr Johnson’s Dictionary of 1755 fixed many of the spellings we still use today. All written English should be Standard English — any grammar rules you learn are for Standard English and you will definitely need to learn them to avoid making mistakes in your work. The rules of Standard English mean using the correct forms of words with the correct spellings.
    Avoid slang words（俚语）—words that your teachers or friends wouldn’t understand. You’ll lose marks if the examiners can’t understand what you say or write. Don’t use dialect words. Every region has words or phrases that are only used there. Don’t use them in your coursework, because you won’t be understood. Make sure you revise grammar and punctuation（标点） you have learned, and learn the list of commonly misspelled words you have made. Clichés are ideas or sayings which have been used so often that they’ve become boring and unoriginal. Phrases like, “As good as it gets” “At the end of the day” “In the fullness of time” are all clichés. So are images like, “as fierce as a lion” “as cunning as a fox”. If you use them you will sound boring and unimaginative— that could mean you lose marks for writing and speaking style. So avoid clichés.
    1. What three things do you have to think about when using English? 
    a. no slang word or dialect     b. no grammar and spelling mistake.  c. no phrase    
    d. no cliché    e. no punctuation
    A. abc.                  B. bcd.            C. ade.       D. abd.

    A. the English spoken by British people.
    B. the English spoken by American people.
    C. the English used in London.
    D. the English spoken by British people in 15th Century.
    3. What is the cliché according to the passage?
    A. the English full of slang words. 
    B. the boring ideas or sayings because of being used often.
    C. the long phrases which are used often.
    D. all the English which is used outside of London and the southeast of Britain.
    4. Why do we need to use Standard English?
    A. Because no one can understand dialect words.
    B. Because there are many kinds of English in the world, we need Standard English to make communication easier.
    C. Because local dialect belongs to certain region, not every one can understand it.
    D. Because standard English has been used for a long time.
    5. Which statement is true?
    A. Written English should be formal and standard.
    B. Standard English means people should use the words from Dr Johnson’s Dictionary.
    C. All the spoken English should be Standard English.
    D. Standard English replaced all written dialect forms in the 18th century.

    Chinese are very generous (慷慨) when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet（芭蕾舞）, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
    However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
    Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence (自信). 
    The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.
    Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.
    Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.
    Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse（唤起） his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.  
    小题1:Parents in China, according to this passage, _______.
    A．are too strict with their children
    B．are too rich to educate their children
    C．have some problems in educating their children correctly
    D．are too poor to educate their children
    小题2: The writer of the passage does not seem to be satisfied with ______.
    A．the parents’ ideas of educating their childrenB．the education system
    C．children’s skillsD．children’s hobbies
    小题3:Doing some cooking at home helps children ______.
    A．learn how to serve their parents
    B．learn how to become strong and fat
    C．benefit from it and prepare themselves for the future
    D．make their parents believe that they are clever
    小题4:According to the last paragraph we can conclude that ______.
    A．broken radios and television sets are useful
    B．one’s curiosity may be useful for his later life
    C．an engineer must fix many broken radios
    D．a good student should spend much time repairing radios

Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and healthier place.

    Companies can increase the money with which they run their business in a number of ways. One way is borrowing money, and another way is buying things with the agreement that payment would be made later. There are also other processes for providing money for use by a company. Two of these processes are described here.
    One process the company may use is to issue bonds(债券). Bonds are a special kind of promissory note. They are issued in different values, in the forms of money used in different countries, such as the pound in England or the euro in Europe. These bonds can easily be sold again to other people or to other companies. The company that issues the bonds promises to pay a particular amount of money as interest regularly for a certain period of time. This continues until when the company has to pay back the principal(本金) of the bond. Payments of principal and interest must be made on time whether the company has been earning money or not. If these payments are not made on time, it means that the company has not done what it agreed to do and can be sued(控告，起诉).
    Another process companies may use is to issue other forms of promissory notes called stocks(股票). Bonds and stocks are opposite methods of providing money for a company. The people who buy stocks provide money that is earned and take part in deciding how the company will conduct its business. They must also take part in the losses. The people who own stocks receive dividends only after the company has paid all of its debts to the people who own bonds. On the other hand, the persons who own bonds have no right, according to the law, to help decide how the company will handle its business, unless it is bankrupt or in danger of becoming so.
    1. Which of the following statement is not the way for companies to increase their capital?
    A. Borrowing money.                                   B. Buying materials without paying.
    C. Issuing bonds                                       D. Issuing stocks
    2 As to bonds, we know from the passage that ________.
    A. they are cheques like bank notes                   
    B. the company only pays back the principal
    C. they are issued in the forms of money   
    D. if a company is bankrupt, it needn’t pay back the interest
    3. According to this passage, who have the legal control over the decisions of the business?
    A. Stockholders                                          B. Bondholders     
    C. The government                                       D. The workers in the company
    4. It can be inferred from this passage that ________.
    A. to issue bonds is a better way than to issue stocks
    B. stockholders can sue the company when it is bankrupt
    C. bondholders have the same rights as stockholders
    D. investing in stocks has more risk than in bonds

    China supports international efforts to secure cyberspace but believes each nation’s “Internet sovereignty（主权）” must be respected, a top Chinese official said at a cyber security conference on Tuesday.
    “China, like many other countries, is very concerned about cyber security,” said Liu Zhengrong, deputy director general of the Internet Affairs Bureau of the State Council Information Office.
    “China faces severe cyber security threats,” Liu told participants here at the Worldwide Cyber Security Summit, a gathering of government and business leaders from 40 countries hosted by the EastWest Institute think tank.
    “International cooperation is much needed to safeguard international cyberspace,” Liu said.
    But “Internet sovereignty of each country needs to be respected,” the Chinese official added. “Different national and cultural conditions” should be taken into account.
    Liu declined to answer repeated questions about cyber attacks last year on Google which the Internet giant said originated in China and led to the California company’s decision to reroute its searches through Hong Kong.
    “The Chinese government firmly opposes cyber attacks in any form and Chinese law clearly states that any hackers will be held responsible for their actions,” he said.
    Liu said China itself is a “a major victim of cyber attacks and network viruses” and has laws in place to deal with hackers.
    “Internet-related crimes (in China) are showing a steady upward trend,” Liu said. “We suffer big economic losses from hacking networks and viruses - around $1 billion dollars (6.8 billion yuan) a year.”
    In 2009, Chinese law enforcement authorities investigated about 48,000 cases, a 37 percent increase over 2008, he said.
    While China has a dynamic Internet population of more than 400 million users and millions of bloggers, there is no “absolute freedom” on the Web, Liu said.
    “I don’t think there is absolute freedom in this world,” he said. “When you are speaking via the Internet you must obey laws and respect others’ lawful rights.”
    Last Thursday, Wang Chen, minister of the State Council Information Office, said China has been actively promoting a real-name registration system for Internet and cell phone users to better manage Internet information and services.
    China needs laws that will step up monitoring for “harmful information” and block “overseas hostile forces from infiltrating（渗透）through the Internet,” Wang said.
    Last week, China tightened its State Secrets law, holding Internet and mobile phone operators responsible for customers who try to leak State secrets.
    Some 400 government officials, business leaders and cyber security experts are attending the summit, which features three days of discussions on ways to protect the world’s digital infrastructure from electronic threats.(427)
    1. What was the top issue of Worldwide Cyber Security Summit?
    A. To fight against Internet-related crimes.
    B. To protect digital infrastructure in the world.
    C. To respect Internet sovereignty of each country.
    D. To make more laws to deal with hackers.
    2. To respect a nation’s Internet sovereignty, _____________ must be considered.
    A. different national and cultural conditions
    B. attending Worldwide Cyber Security Summit
    C. stopping the leaking of State secrets
    D. safeguarding international cyberspace
    3. According to paragraph 6, Internet giant refers to _____________.
    A. Hong Kong             B. hackers             C. Google              D. Liu Zhengrong
    4. Which of the following is NOT the measure that China has taken to guarantee better Internet information and service management?
    A. Promoting real-name registration for Internet use.
    B. Promoting real-name registration for cell phone use.
    C. Tightening State Secrets law to stop leaking State secrets.
    D. Monitoring for harmful information and blocking overseas hostile forces.

    An old problem is getting new attention in the United States—bullying. Recent cases included the tragic case of a fifteen-year-old girl whose family moved from Ireland. She hanged herself in Massachusetts in January following months of bullying. Her parents criticized her school for failing to protect her. Officials have brought criminal charges against several teenagers.
    Judy Kuczynski is president of an anti-bullying group called Bully Police USA. Her daughter Tina was the victim of severe bullying starting in middle school in the state of Minnesota. Her said, "Our daughter was a very outgoing child. She was a bubbly personality, very involved in all kinds of things, had lots of friends. And over a period of time her grades fell completely. She started having health issues. She couldn't sleep. She wasn't eating. She had terrible stomach pains. She started clenching her jaw and grinding her teeth at night. Didn't want to go to school."
    Bullying is defined as negative behavior repeated over time against the same person. It can involve physical violence. Or it can be verbal — for example, insults or threats. Spreading lies about someone or excluding a person from a group is known as social or relational bullying.
    And now there is cyber bullying, which uses the Internet, e-mail or text messages. It has easy appeal for the bully because it does not involve face-to-face contact and it can be done at any time.
    The first serious research studies into bullying were done in Norway in the late 1970s. The latest government study in the United States was released last year. It found that about one-third of students age twelve to eighteen were bullied at school.
    Susan Sweater is a psychologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and co-director of the Bullying Research Network. She says schools should treat bullying as a mental health problem to get bullies and victims the help they need. She says bullying is connected to depression, anxiety and anti-social behavior, and bullies are often victims themselves.
    66．From the case of Tina, we can know that            .
    A．bullying is rare        B．victims suffered a lot
    C．schools are to blame D．personalities are related
    67．Which of the following is NOT bullying?
    A．To beat someone repeatedly.   B．To call someone names.
    C．To isolate someone from friends.    D．To refuse to help someone in need.
    68．Why is cyber bullying appealing to the bully?
    A．Because it can involve more people.      B．Because it can create worse effects.
    C．Because it is more convenient.       D．Because it can avoid cheating.
    69．According to Susan Sweater,           .
    A．bullies are anti-social      B．bullies should give victims help
    C．students are not requally treated     D．bullies themselves also need help
    70．Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
    A．Bullying—Old Irish Girl Committed Suicide
    B．15-Year-Old Irish Girl Committed Suicide
    C．Cyberbullying-Taking Off in Schools
