    Does technology pose a threat to the purity of Chinese language?

    Many Chinese use instant messenger tools such as MSN or QQ, listen to music on MP3 players and log on the Internet using ADSL—most without knowing the literal Chinese translation of the abbreviations(缩略词). But they don’t have to, as many English letters have become part of the local vocabulary.

    A dozen abbreviations including GDP, NBA, IT, MP3, QQ, DVD and CEO are among the 5,000 most-frequently used words in the Chinese media last year, according to a report on the 2006 Language Situation in China.

    The report said some parents are so keen on English letters that a couple tried to name their baby “@”, claiming the character used in email addresses reflects their love for the child. While the “@”is obviously familiar to Chinese e-mail users, they often use the English word “at” to pronounce it “ai ta”,or “love him”.

    The study collected more than 1 billion language samples from newspapers, magazines, TV, radio and websites. The annual report is jointly compiled by the Ministry of Education and the State Language Commission.

    “Nowadays, more and more English abbreviations are being used in Chinese, making them an important part of modern language,” said Hou Min, a professor at Communication University of China.

    “The abbreviations have gained popularity because of the ease of usage,” Hou said. For example, DNA is much simpler to use than its Chinese version. “As more Chinese people learn foreign languages, especially English, in recent years, using abbreviations has become a trend among educated people,” she added.

    Some language scholars fear such usage will contaminate(污染)the purity of Chinese and cause confusion in communication.

    Which of the following is TRUE about the report on the 2006 Language Situation in China?

    A．The report is compiled by the Ministry of Education alone.

    B．The report is compiled every year.

    C．The report is compiled every two years.

    D．The report is based on over 1 billion language samples from websites.

    Why does the author use the example of a couple who tried to name their baby “@”?

    A．To show Chinese is badly polluted by English.

    B．To express the couple’s love for the child.

    C．To indicate “@”is a very common sign among the e-mail users.

    D．To show some people are very enthusiastic over English letters.

    Why are the English abbreviations becoming more and more popular according to the passage?

    A．Because English is the most common language in the world.

    B．Because using English abbreviations is a fashion.

    C．Because English abbreviations are easy and simple to use.

    D．Because English abbreviations are easy to pronounce.

    What can we infer from the passage?

    A．People should know clearly the exact Chinese translation of English abbreviations.

    B．More and more Chinese people will use English abbreviations in the future.

    C．Most parents like to give their child English names now.

    D．Language scholars hate to use English abbreviations.

    Millions of British people have ditched the traditional “thank you” and replaced it with the less formal “cheers”, according to a survey.
    Although the average person will say “thank you” nearly 5,000 times a year, one in three are more likely to throw in a “cheers” or “ta” where it’s needed, rather than risk sounding old fashioned.
    One in 20 now say “nice one” instead, while younger generations are more likely to offer a “cool” than a “thank you”. “Merci”, “fab” and even “gracias” were also listed as common phrases to use, as was “much appreciated”.
    One in twenty who took part in the survey of 2,000 people by the Food Network UK for Thank You Day, which is marked on November 24, 2011, said a formal “thank you” was now not often needed in everyday conversation. More than one in ten adults said they regularly wouldn’t say “thank you” if they were in a bad mood.
    Most people declared that saying “thank you” was something drilled into them by their parents. A huge 70 percent of those questioned will say “thank you” to a person’s face without even meaning it, while a fifth avoid saying it when they know they should — on at least two occasions every day.
    It seems our friends and family get the brunt (压力) of our bad manners with half admitting they’re not good at thanking those closest to them — many justifying (为……辩解) the lack of thanks because their family “already know I’m grateful”.
    When spoken words won’t do, it falls to a nice text to do the job for most people. A thank you email is also popular, while a quarter turn to social networks to express gratitude. A quarter of British people say thank you with food, with 23 percent cooking a meal to show their appreciation to someone. Another 15 percent bake a cake. A third will still send a handwritten thank-you note — but 45 percent admit it’s been more than six months since they bothered to send one.
    It follows that 85 percent of people will be annoyed at not getting the gratitude they feel they should receive. 
    【小题1】Most of the people who took part in the survey say that they say “thank you” _____.

    A．when they are in good moodB．completely out of habit
    C．when they feel truly grateful D．purely out of politeness
    【小题2】The underlined word “ditched” in Paragraph 1 means “_____”.
    A．abandonedB．usedC．sharedD．grasped
    【小题3】It can be learned from the passage that _____.
    A．different ways of expressing gratitude are all fashionable
    B．people should avoid saying “thank you” nowadays
    C．a thank-you note is still appreciated by most people
    D．people in a bad mood never say “thank you”
    【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Most people express their gratitude to others by buying food for them.
    B．About fifty percent of people try not to say thank you when they should.
    C．Most people may feel natural when they fail to receive others’ gratitude.
    D．Many people think it unnecessary to say thanks to their family members.

    A tall figure appeared from the dark door of the tent. It was a smoking young man about twenty three or four. He had an almost black face, though smooth. His moustache was black with curled points. There was an unusual force in his face, and in his daring rolling eyes. cef

    　　Rebecca still stood hesitating like a swimmer about to make his dive, hardly knowing whether to return or move forward.

             "Hi, my beauty, what can I do for you?" said he, approaching. Realizing that she was quite at a loss, the man spoke in a gentle voice, "Never mind. I am Mr. Thackeray. Have you come to see me or my mother?"

    　　This scene differed greatly from what Rebecca had expected. She had dreamed of an aged and dignified(威严的) face. She told herself to be calm and answered "I came to see your mother, sir."

    　　"I am afraid you cannot see her-she is ill in bed," replied the representative of the house; for this was Mr. Alee Thackeray, the only son of the noble family. "What is the business you wish to see her about?"

    　　"It isn't business-it is-I can hardly say what!"

    　　"Pleasure?"

    　　"Oh no. Why, sir, if I tell you, it will seem..."

    　　Rebecca's sense of a certain ridicule(奚落，讥笑) was now so obvious and strong that, despite her general discomfort at being here, her rosy lips curved(弯曲) towards a smile, much to the attraction of the young man.

    　　"It is so foolish", she murmured. "I fear I can't tell you!"

    　　"Never mind; I like foolish things. Try again, my dear," said he kindly.

    　　"Mother told me to come," Rebecca continued; "and, indeed, I was in the mind to do so myself. But I did not expect it would turn out like this. I came…sir, I came to tell you that we are of the same family as you."

    　　"Ho Ho! Poor relations?"

    　　"Yes."

    　　"Rossetti?"

    　　"No. Thackeray."

    　　"Ay, ay; I mean Thackeray."

    　　"Our names are worn away to Durbeyfield; but we have several proofs that we are Thackeray. The local scholars hold the view that we are, and...and we have an old seal and a silver spoon marked with the same castle as yours. So mother said we ought to make ourselves known to you, as we've lost our horse by a bad accident. We can hardly make a living."

        "It’s very kind of your mother, I'm sure." Alec looked at Rebecca as he spoke, in a way that made her uneasy. "And so, my pretty girl, you've come on a friendly visit to us, as relations?"

    　　"I suppose I have," looking less confident and uncomfortable again.

    "Well, there's no harm in it. I mean it doesn’t hurt to come and make yourself known to me. Where do you live? What are you?" …

    1.While meeting with Alec, Rebecca feels _______during the whole course.

    A. nervous and uneasy

    B. excited and hopeful

    C. amazed and comfortable

    D. pleased but embarrassed.

    2.Which of the following is suitable to describe Rebecca’s impression of Alec?

    A. unfriendly and ta lkative

    B. forceful and daring

    C. gentle and reliable

    D. older than expected

    3.What is Rebecca’s real purpose of making this visit?

    A. To see Alec himself.

    B. To see Alec's mother.

    C. To confirm that they are of the same family.

    D. To make known their relationship and seek help.

    4.From the passage, we can conclude that Alec appears quite friendly to Rebecca largely because __________.

    A. Rebecca is his distant relation

    B. Rebecca looks polite to him

    C. Rebecca is a pretty girl

    D. Rebecca looks ridiculous
