Few people realize that there is a big difference between formal English and informal English. Formal English is used for most writing, and often in public speaking and formal meetings. It pays close attention to grammar rules, because if we use proper grammar, our meaning is often more precise. Also, on important occasions, we do not want to appear uneducated or to offend (冒犯) others, so we are very careful about how we speak. Informal English is used in speaking or writing to our friends and family. It often does not pay such close attention to grammar rules, because when we speak or write to them, we want our words to flow quickly. Also, with our friends and family, we are usually not so worried about appearing uneducated or about offending them by how we write or speak.

  A big difference between formal and informal English is the use of contractions. A contraction is where we make a word shorter or where we put two words together and take away some of the letters. For example, instead of saying “do not”, many people say “don’t”. Using contractions in our speech is fine because it sounds natural, especially when we speak to our friends. In formal writing, however, contractions are usually avoided because people might think that you have made a mistake, or that you do not know proper grammar.

  In the same way we might make words shorter, in informal English we often make sentences shorter as well. For example, if someone asks you your name, you will likely answer with one word: your first name. However, in formal English we usually use complete sentences. For example, we might write “My name is John”. In most speaking, we may not need to use every word in a sentence because the person we are speaking to will probably still understand us. In most writing, however, every word in a sentence must be written out in order to make sure that we can be understood.

56. When we use formal English, _______.

         A. we will offend others 

B. we will appear educated on important occasions

         C. we needn’t pay more attention to grammar rules

         D. we can express ourselves more directly and more quickly

57. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “precise”?

58. Contractions are best used when we are _______.

         A. speaking at a formal meeting                        B. speaking to our friends

         C. speaking in public                                              D. writing an application (申请) letter

59. In speaking, we do not always use complete sentences because ______.

         A. we do not care about grammar                    B. we do not want to sound stupid

         C. we can still be understood                              D. we don’t want to waste time

China news, Beijing, Feb. 9 – Housing price in China has always aroused heated discussions among property developers and ordinary Chinese. To many property developers and local government officials, housing price in China is still low compared with many developed countries. However, the average housing price in the United States is only 8,000yuan per square meter, while in China, it is even higher than in the United States. This shows that there are some bubbles(泡沫) in Chinese real estate (房地产) market, the International Finance News reported.

       Although the average price of residential houses in the United States, after converted to RMB, is about 8,000yuan per square meter, the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. If US property developers sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000yuan per square meter. In most big Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US.

       The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some bubbles. Moreover, Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities. Furthermore, it should be noted that American people’s average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people. How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in the US?

       At the beginning of 2007, Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. Now in order to reduce the high housing prices, the government can regulate (控制) the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans to property developers. At the same time, the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels, such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. By applying these multiple means, it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered.

63. Which of the following is NOT true from the passage?

       A．Compared with many developed countries, housing price in China is still low.

    B．Housing price in China is even higher than that in the United States.

C．The houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as in China

D  Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities.

64. Why did they say that there are some bubbles in Chinese real estate market?

       A. Most Chinese property developers sell their houses according to the building area.

       B. In large cities in China such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US.

       C. the government raised tax on property industry and controlled the release of loans to  property developers.

       D. The Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public.

65. How many measures are mentioned in the last paragraph in order to reduce the high housing prices?   

A．Four     B．Three            C．Five            D．Two

66. It can be inferred from the passage that ______

   A. Housing price in China has lowered since 2007.

   B. There will be no bubbles in Chinese real estate after the government raises tax on property industry.

   C. Ordinary Chinese are looking forward to seeing that the high housing prices will be lowered.

D. More ordinary Chinese will buy a house in America instead of in China.
