Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition "depending on who needs it".Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about "mother trees", usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down "mother trees" with no awareness of these highly complex "tree societies" or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest."We didn't take any notice of it" Simard says sadly. "Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance." If we could put across the messageto the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.1. The underlined sentence "the opposite is true" in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees .A. compete for survivalB. protect their own wealthC. depend on each otherD. provide support for dying trees2. "Mother trees" are extremely important because they .A. look the largest in size in the forestB. pass on nutrition to young treesC. seem more likely to be cut down by humansD. know more about the complex "tree societies"3. The underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refers to .A. how "tree societies" workB. how trees grow oldC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees survive4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our SocietyBOne of the latest trend(趋势)in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of company, says of his 2-year old son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future,” After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots.” Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture.” she says.“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children.” But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity if au pairs from china has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.5.What does that term” au pair” in the text mean?A. A mother raising her children on her ownB. A child learning a foreign language at homeC. A professor in language education of childrenD. A young foreign woman taking care of children.6. Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them ______.A. to live in China some dayB. to speak the language at homeC. to catch up wit other childrenD. to learn about the Chinese culture7. What can we infer from the text?A. Learning Chinese is becoming popular In America,B. Educated woman do better in looking after childrenC. Chinese au pairs need to improve their English Skills.D. Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.四语法填空短文改错(每错一分)I’m a middle school student name Li Ming. I’m writing to tell you something. Recently I noticed many of my classmates often go to the cyber cafe near our school. I went there too in the other day. I was surprising to see many students playing computer games, watching films or chat. Some students were even talking about love affairs online.On my opinion, cyber cafes should be a place which we can find much useful informations. The Internet should be a window to the outside world rather than place for games. The Internet is good if we make good use of it. Otherwise, it will give us great harm. So the local government should take measure to make sure that students use cyber cafes positively.。

McKay was included in a list of university alumni (校友) who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives (档案馆) in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling realization. “After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view.Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal FlyingCorps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron (中队) as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the m ost famous pilot in the world,” says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke, the most famous German pilot at the time.” Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.Mc Kay’s war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on London — an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in Nov ember 2007. “I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word ‘deceased’ (阵亡)next to his name,” said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country.”51. What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay?A. A uniform of McKay.B. A footnote about McKay.C. A book on McKay.D. A picture of McKay.52. What did the students find out about McKay?A. He trained pilots for some time.B. He lived longer than other pilots.C. He died in the Second World War.D. He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.53. McKay’s flying document s were destroyed in .A. BelgiumB. GermanyC. CanadaD. England54. We can learn from the last paragraph that McKay .A. preferred fight to his studyB. went to war before graduationC. left a picture for Corey EverrettD. set an example for his fellow students55. What is the text mainly about?A. The research into war history.B. The finding of a forgotten hero.C. The pilots of the two world wars.D. The importance of military studies.BEvery object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glanc e it does not look like much. It is a woman’s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique(独特的) about this shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface? Or did she throw away goods that she didn’t need in order to travel lighter?Over 100, 000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather.The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks(背包) each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.56. Which of the following is right?A. it was found on a famous trailB. it was an important clue to life in the pastC. it at one time belonged to a VIPD. it was a fashionable shoe at that time57. According to this passage, many people who went to Alaska _______.A. eventually became millionairesB. were not properly equippedC. were very poorD. brought with them many shoes58. The Canadian government made gold seekers bring one year’s supplies with them so that ___.A. they would not die of hunger and coldB. the army would have enough food for fighting a warC. they would change these goods with the EskimosD. the supplies would make Alaska rich59. No matter what happened to the woman who owned the shoe, _______.A. she must have been a brave woman.B. she certainly dropped the shoe on purposeC. her adventurous spirit is definitely admiredD. her other shoes were equally fashionable60. what’s the best title of the passage?A. special shoe whose ower is a woman.B. the sad story about the shoe.C. the old shoe that has a special. story.D. gold seekersCJune 26, 2000 —the Human Genome(基因组) Project, a great $3 billion, 15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic(遗传的) map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completed. The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging(延长) human life. But those communities and policymakers also are careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.For the last few years, the genetic advances in the developing field of biotechnology(生物技术) have provides material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the popular imagination.While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding(解码) human DNA, the leading organization for genetic research is in the United States, which began in 1990, is “unlocking the code” of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal diseases . Already, the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with terrible diseases as yet, and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS.Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections and genetic diseases. Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome, as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses.61. Why did the scientists work hard at mapping the human genome?A. Because the human genome can help us live longer.B. Because they wanted to be better known than others.C. Because the human genome can provide a lot of moneyD. Because the human genome's completion can help them get ridof many diseases.62. Which of the following is NOT true?A. If the genes can be found, scientists can study many new ways to cure illnesses.B. The scientists have made great progress in connecting the genes with the cancers.C. Many medical companies show great interest in drawing the human genome map.D. The United States began the Genes Study early in the 19th century.63. Which country studied the genes most rapidly in the world?A. Japan. C. The United States .B. British EnglandD. China.64. We can conclude that the Human Genome Project can cause_______.A. the policy makers to feel very happy.B. the scientists to work harderC. many people to live longer.D. a lot of companies to produce many new drugs65. What’ the best title of the passage?A. unlocking genetic codeB. the genes' discoveryC. human genome’s scienceD. the genes and the scientistsDGeorge Markov was a famous writer in Bulgaria. In 1969 he suspected that he was going to be imprisoned or killed because one of his plays was regarded as being an attack on leaders of Bulgaria. Markov managed to reach England and got a job with the BBC, writing something in Bulgaria.Some of the BBC programmes were critical of life in Bulgaria. Perhaps as a result of this, Markov received an anonymous telephone call warning him that he would be killed. In September 1978, Markov stopped his car in London and started to walk to his office. When he was passing a bus line, a man in the line seemed to drop his umbrella accidently. Markov felt a sudden pain in the leg.When Markov reached his office, he spoke about the matter to a friend. A few hours later, he began to feel hot. He was sent to hospital and died four days later. The doctors examined his body, and they were puzzled about the cause of his death. Scientists were asked to help and they found a tiny metal pellet in Markov’s leg. The scientists believed that the two holes in it must contain an unknown poison in them.A few weeks before Markov was “shot” with a poisonedpellet fired from an umbrella, another Bulgarian had the same experience in France. Towards the end of August 1978, Kostov felt a sharp pain in the back when he was leaving a railway station in Paris. He was ill for a few days but became well. When news of Markov’s death became known, Kostov was asked to return to hospital for examination. Doctors found a tiny pellet in his back, but it had stuck in an area from which the poison had not been able to spread.The police in both countries are still searching for the reasons why both men were attacked. They hoped to catch their attackers. 66.Which of the statement is right about the underlined word?A.stranger B.well-known C.friendly D. unknown67.Which of the following was not mentioned in the passage?A.George Markov was working for the BBCB.George Markov wrote many plays at that timeC.kostov was “shot” with a poisoned pelletD.Both kostov and George Markov died at last 68.According to the passage, Markov’s suspicions turned out to beA.wrong B.rightC.reasonable D.unreasonable 69.Who killed Markov?A.Bulgarian B.notknown C.

Space junk, or debris, consists of bits of metal, __31__ satellites and even a space station that is no longer in use, all of it circling the planet. Now this space station is about to fall to Earth.Tiangong-1 was China's first space station. It was __32__ in 2011, but the country lost contact with it in March 2016 and later that year, Chinese officials confirmed that the 3.5-metre-wide __33__ would return to Earth.At the moment, scientists don't know exactly where or when the space station will enter the planet's atmosphere, but believe it will be between 30 March and 2 April. There is no need to worry, though. While scientists can't say where it will land, there is very little __34__ that the space station will hit a populated area. This is because most of it will burn up in Earth's atmosphere - a(n) __35__ of gases that protect the planet. Also, because most of Earth is covered in water, scientists think that if there is any debris, it will fall __36__ into the sea.As the __37__ landing date gets closer, scientists will be able to determine where it will fall - if necessary - steps will be taken to keep people safe and __38__. A statement by Aerospace, a US company that advises the US government about space travel, said, "In the history of spaceflight, no known person has ever been harmed by __39__ space debris(残留物)."One thing scientists are confident of, though, is that wherever it enters the atmosphere, the debris will create a spectacular fireball for anyone __40__ enough to see it.III. Reading ComprehensionsSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Governments are keen on higher education, seeing it as a means to boost social mobility and economic growth. Almost all sub-sidise(补贴)tuition - in America, to the tune of $200 billion a year. But they tend to overestimate the benefits and __41__ the costs of expanding university education. As more young people seek degrees, the returns both to them and to governments are __42__.Spending on universities is usually __43__ by the "graduate premium" - the increase in earnings that graduates enjoy over non-graduates. These individual gains, the thinking goes,__44__ an economic boost for society as a whole. But the graduate premium is a faulty unit of calculation. Part of the usefulness of a degree is that it gives a graduate job-seeker an advantage__45__ non-graduates. It is also a signal to employers of general qualities, such as intelligence and diligence, that someone already has in order to get into a university. Some professions require qualifications. But a degree is not always the best __46__ of the skills and knowledge needed for a job. With degrees so __47__, employers are using them as a way to screen applicants.Non-graduates are thus increasingly __48__ decent work.In any case, the premium counts only the winners and not the losers. Across the rich world, a third of university students never graduate. It is the weakest students who are drawn in as higher education __49__ and who are most likely to drop out. They pay fees and __50__ earnings to study, but see little improvement in their future incomes. When dropouts are __51__, the expected financial return to starting a degree for the weakest students shrinks to almost nothing. Many school-leavers are being __52__ about the probable value of university.Governments need to offer the young a wider range of options after school. They should start by rethinking their own __53__ practices. School-leavers should be given a wider variety of ways to gain vocation skills and to demonstrate their __54__. If school qualifications were made more difficult to get, employers would be more likely to trust them as signals of ability, and less __55__ degrees. "Micro-credentials" - short, work-focused courses approved by big employers infast-growing fields, such as IT - show promise.41. A. calculate B. cover C. ignore D. demonstrate42.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I wanted the pleasure of being in Africa again. Feeling that the place was so large it contained many untold tales and some hope and comedy and sweetness too, I aimed to reinsert myself in the bundy, as we used to call the bush, and to wander around. There I had lived and worked, happily, almost forty years ago, in the heart of the greenest continent.In those old undramatic days of my school teaching in the bundu, folks lived their lives on bush paths at the end of unpaved roads of red clay, in villages of grass-roofed huts. They had anew national flag, they had just gotten the vote, some had bikes, many talked about buying their first pair of shoes. They were hopeful, and so was I, a schoolteacher living near a settlement of mud-huts among trees and fields - children shouting at play; and women bent double - most with infants on their backs - hoeing(锄地)the corn beans; and the men sitting in the shade.The Swahili word safari means 'journey', it has nothing to do with animals, someone 'on safari' is just away and unobtainable and out of touch. Out of touch in Africa was where I wanted to be. The wish to disappear sends many travellers away. If you are thoroughly sick of being kept waiting at home or at work, travel is perfect: let other people wait for a change. Travel is a sort of revenge for having been put on hold, or having to leave messages on answering machines, not knowing your party's extension, being kept waiting all your working life. But also being kept waiting is the human condition.Travel in the African bush can also be a sort of revenge on mobile phones and email, on telephones and the daily paper, on the aspects of globalisation that allow anyone who chooses to get their hands on you. I desired to be unobtainable. I was going to Africa for the best of reasons - in a spirit of discover - simply to disappear, to light out, with a suggestion of I dare you to try to find me.Home had become a routine, and routine make time pass quickly. I was a sitting duck in this predictable routine: people knew when to call me, they knew when I would be at my desk. I was in such regular touch it was like having a job, a mode of life I hated .. I was sick of being called up and asked for favors, hit up for money. You stick around too long and people begin to impose their own deadlines on you.56. What did the writer expect from his journey?A. To have a variety of enjoyable experiences.B. To see how Africa had changed.C. To see impressive scenery.D. To meet some old friend.57. Forty years ago, how did the writer feel about the future of the country where he was living?A. Little was likely to change.B. Things were likely to improve.C. Women would do most of the work.D. People's expectations were too limited.58. In paragraph 3, what reason does the writer give for wanting to travel to Africa?A. He wanted a change of activity.B. He wanted people to be unable to contact him.C. His health was suffering from staying at home.D. He had been waiting to return to Africa for long.59. The writer says 'I was a sitting duck' in paragraph 5 to show that _________.A. he was boringB. he was easy to findC. he had a fixed lifestyleD. he was always lending money(B)The house style that dominated American housing during the 1880s and 1890s was known as Queen Anne, a curious name for an American style. The name was, in fact, a historical accident, originating with fashionable architects in Victorian England who coined it with apparently no reason other than its pleasing sound. The Queen Anne style was loosely based on structures built long before 1702, the beginning year of Queen Anne's reign(统治期).A distinctive characteristic found in most Queen Anne houses is the unusual roof shape (illustrated in the picture on the right) - a steeply pitched, hipped central portion with protruding lower front and side extensions that end in gables. It is often possible to spot these distinctive roof forms from several blocks away. Another feature of this style is the detailing, shown in the wood board siding cut into fanciful decorative patterns of scallops, curves, diamonds, or triangles. Queen Anne houses are almost always asymmetrical(不对称的). If you draw an imaginary line down the middle of one, you will see how different the right and left sides are, all the way from ground level to roof peak. A final characteristic is the inviting wraparound porch(门廊)that includes the front door area and then extends around to either the right or left side of the house.Queen Anne houses faded from fashion early in the twentieth century as the public's taste shifted toward the more modern Prairie and Craftsman style houses. Today, however, Queen Annehouses are favorite symbols of the past, painstakingly and lovingly restored by old-house buffs and reproduced by builders who give faithful attention to the distinctive shapes and detailing that were first popularized more than one hundred years ago.60. Why does the author use the word "curious" (in paragraph 1) in describing the name of an American style?A. The style was invented before Queen Anne's reign.B. The style was more popular in Victorian England.C. The name was accidentally misspelled.D. The name did not originate in America.61. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 2 about the Queen Anne style?A. It was not very popular.B. It had to be build in the city.C. It combined several other styles.D. It was elaborate and fancily decorated.62. According to passage, why did Queen Anne houses go out of style?A. People started moving to the suburbs.B. People came to see them as a symbol of the past.C. People were more interested in newer house styles.D. People could no longer afford to build such large houses.(C)What will the development of quantum computers(量子计算机)mean for our civilisations? Oh sure, better cryptography(密码方式), "more powerful" processing, but bottom line, we just don't know ... yet.This phenomenon isn't unique to quantum computing, of course. It's something we see time and gain with all new world-changing technology. In some ways, it's how we can define a technology as world-changing: everyone agrees it's going to be hugely important, but nobody can predict exactly what impact it will have.The internet remains the classic example. Although invented in the 1960s, even by the late 1990s, the internet was still being dismissed as something that is fashionable but unlikely to last. Most commentators thought it nothing more than a curiosity.There's a famous 1999 interview between David Bowie and BBC journalist Jeremy Paxman. In it, Bowie predicts that the internet will change the nature of music, and remove the "barriers between creator and audience". The longer he spoke, the more Paxman said in anger that Bowie could possibly believe this about the internet.To be fair to Paxman, in 1999, internet at home meant accessing it over a modern. Concepts like WeChat and Netflix and more simply could not work over such limited bandwidth. But there were still some people who assumed that bandwidth would increase and that streaming music and video would be possible soon enough. They were laughed at.Oddly enough, as the dot-com boom intensified, many turned from doubters to hopeless optimists, and lost serious money building websites to deliver content that simply couldn't "fit" down the inter-tubes of the day.Then in the second decade of the 21st century: critical mass. Bandwidth increased massively. Forget showing a nice little video in your browser, today Nexflix can serve you a TV show in 4K, as long as you have 25Mbps connection.Quantum computing isn't a consumer technology, of course. It's a much bigger deal than that. Quantum computing is more like the invention of the transistor(电子晶体). Sure, most people have heard of it, but few understand it. Actually, we don't even really understand it. But we're reasonably comfortable that when a lab has that many scanning electron microscopes, it must be doing something important, right?Quantum computing is still at the stage of "hit it with a hammer until it works". Sure the hammer is microscopic, and also a laser or magnetic field of some kind, but the point is we're going through the process of turning the idea into reality.Sooner than you think, though, qubit-based computers are going to get applied to stuff. What stuff? Like always, it will be super secret stuff first. Then it will reach the rest of us.This is how the world begins. Not with a bang, but with a lot of extremely hard work behind the scenes.63. What attitude did most people take towards the internet in the 1990s?A. Optimistic.B. Unconcerned.C. Doubtful.D. Defensive.64. The example of the internet is intended to illustrate that ________.A. it is hard to define what is world-changing technologyB. the internet was universally acknowledged as importantC. the influence of new technology is usually unpredictableD. the internet inspired many debates in the following years65. By "hit it with a hammer until it works", the writer means that quantum computing ________.A. has been questionedB. has been fully understoodC. hasn't been heard of beforeD. hasn't been applied to practice66. What can be concluded about new technology from the passage?A. Its development is a gradual process.B. Most is the brainchild of a scientist.C. Not all is accessible to the public.D. Its future is often a top secret.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.The internet already enables patients to seek online consultations when and where it suits them. Yet change demands a shift in emphasis, from providers to patients and from doctors to data. ________67________ Technologies such as the smartphone allow people to monitor their own health. The possibilities multiply when you add the crucial missing ingredients - access to your own treatment and also to provide data to help train medical programmes.________68________ One is better diagnosis. Someone worried about their heart can now buy a watch strap containing a medical grade monitor that will detect arrhythmias(心律失常). Apps are trying to see if they can diagnose everything from skin cancer to Parkinson's disease. Research is under way to see whether sweat can be analysed for molecular biomarkers without the need for an invasive blood test.A second benefit lies in the management of complex diseases. Diabetes(糖尿病)apps can change the way patients cope, by monitoring blood-glucose levels and food intake, potentially reducing long-run harm such as blindness. Akili Interactive, a startup, plans to seek regulatory approval for a video game designed to stimulate an area of the brain implicated in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.________69________ Although health records are increasingly electronic, many still contain data that machines cannot read. This can lead to delays in treatment, or worse. Many of the 250,000 death in America owed to medical error each year can be traced to poorly arranged care. ________70________ On January 24th Apple laid out its plans to ask organisations to let patients use their smartphones to download their own medical records.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Change Is Needed In Youth SportsEverywhere you look, you see kids bouncing a basketball or waving a tennis bat. And these kids are getting younger and younger. Children can even compete on basketball, baseball, and volleyball teams starting at age nine. The youth soccer organization has teams for children asyoung as five. And swimming and gymnastics classes begin at age four, to prepare children for competition.It's true that a few of these kids will develop into highly skilled athletes and may even become members of our national Olympic teams. But what about the others - the average kids? This emphasis on competition in sports is having serious negative effects.Children who get involved in competitive sports at a young age often grow tired of their sport. Many parents pressure their kids to choose one sport and devote all their time to it. A survey found that 79 percent of parents of young athletes wanted their children to concentrate on one sport. But 66 percent of the young athletes wanted to play more than one sport - for fun.Another problem is the pressure imposed by over-competitive parents and coaches. Children are not naturally competitive. In fact, a recent study by Paulo David found that most children don't even understand the idea of competition until they are seven years old. Very young kids don't know why their parents are pushing them so hard.The third, the biggest, problem for young athletes is the lack of time to do their homework, have fun, be with friends - in short, time to be kids. When they are forced to spend every afternoon at sports practice, they often start to hate their chosen sport. Researchers found that 70 percent of kids who take part in competitive sports before the age of twelve quit before they turn eighteen. Many of them completely lose interest in sports. Excessive competition takes away all the enjoyment.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 对进口设备的禁令还未取消。

If you have any problems downloading the application form or any questions, please contact: London Summer School in Classics, King’s College London.Tel: 020 7848 2299Fax: 020 7848 2545OrganizationThe school is organized by the colleges of the University of London. The summer school offers eight days of intensive teaching in Greek and Latin. There are four language classes each day as well as lectures and a debate, between 10:30 am and 4:30 pm. The course is not residential (提供住宿的), and there is no teaching during the weekend of 12th to 13th July.The fee is £85.00.

The style of teaching is friendly, but demanding: a lot of work is expected from students during the school, but they usually find the whole experience both stimulating and valuable. Some classes concentrate chiefly on reading, while others offer a mixture of grammar and translation practice. Our tutors include some of the most experienced and talented teachers of Classics in the London area and beyond.The Summer School in Classics caters for a wide range of interests and for both school & university students as well as those who wish to learn Greek or Latin, or to revive their knowledge of the languages. Our principal concern is to provide a thorough program of language learning in a lively university environment.51.

While most people were warming up their cars, Trev or, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货),saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.56. How did people get to know the couple’s problem?A. From radio broadcasts.B. From TV newsC. From a newspaper.D. From a stranger.57.Which of the following is TRUE?A. The author used to get to work by bike.B. The author’s husband often parked the bike beside the back door.C. Several strangers offered bikes to them, but they only accepted oneof them.D. Somebody had stolen their bike before, but soon returned it to the author.58.What do we learn from the couple’s experience?A. Strangers are usually of little help.B. One should take care of their bike.C. News reports make people famous.D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.59. Why was the bike so important to the couple?A. They used it for work and daily life.B. It was their only possession.C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.D. The man’s job was bike racing.60. We can conclude that _______A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.B. people were busy before ChristmasC. the stranger brought over the bikeD. life was hard for the young family.CThe literal meaning of philosophy is “love of wisdom”. But this meaning does not tell us very much. Unlike the other disciplines, philosophy cannot be defined by what you study, because it is actually unlimited. Anything can be the subject matter of philosophy: are, history, law, language, literature, mathematics, and in fact, the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy. For this reason you get a Doctorate(博士学位)of Philosophy (Ph. D. ) in biochemistry, or computer science, or psychologyTwo broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy. Logic is the science of argument and critical thinking. It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasoning. The history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and periods in the development of philosophy.Of what use is philosophy? First it is useful in educational advancement. It is necessary for understanding other disciplines. Only philosophy questions the nature of the concepts used in a discipline, and its relation to other disciplines. And through the study of philosophy, one develops sound methods of research and analysis that can be applied to any field.There are a number of general uses of philosophy. It strengthens one’s ability to solve problems, to communicate, to organize ideas and issues, to persuade, and to take what is the most important from a large quantity of data. These general uses are of great benefit in the career field, not necessarily for obtaining one’s first job after graduation, but for preparing for positions of responsibility, management andleadership later on. It is very short-sighted after all, to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting one’s first job. The useful skills developed through the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career advancement. No other discipline systematically follows the ideals of wisdom, leadership, and capacity to resolve human conflict61. What’s the meaning of philosophy according to the passage?A. social sciencesB. both social and natural sciencesC. natural sciencesD. the subject matter of politics62. What does “discipline” mean in the first paragraph?A. literatureB. scienceC. subjectD. occupation63. With the study of philosophy, you can .A. make progress in your career developmentB. succeed in everythingC. find a good job soon after graduationD. become a great leader64. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Philosophy is an independent discipline.B. The study of philosophy brings you immediate benefits.C. Logic helps you to become a better thinker.D. The meaning of philosophy is too limited to define.65. From the passage, we can conclude .A. not all the subjects have to do with philosophyB. philosophy can be helpful for the study of any other subjectsC. a person will get a Ph.D. if he/she studies philosophyD. philosophy is the only solution to all the problems in the worldDWugging, or web use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user. By using , which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can raise money every time they search, but it won’t cost t hem a penny.Research shows that students are extremely passionate about supporting charity — 88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity. This age group is often the least likely to have their own income. 19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than £5,000. With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing (有感染力的) or possible.Beth Truman, a 21 year old recent university graduate, has used to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the “wugging” movement grow in popularity with students. “When you’re at university you become more socially aware, but it’s sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself,”says Beth. “Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny.”Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don’t feel they have the means to do so. Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding. works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UK’s 170,000 charities they would like to support throug h their clicks. then makes monthly payments to every registered charity. Launched in June 2005, is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK.66. What does “wugging”show According to the passage?A. a websiteB. a school organizationC. a student movementD.a charity-related action67. In the case of charity, ______.A. receives much money from studentsB. offers valuable information to studentsC. frees students of the financial worriesD. praises students for their money-raising 68.

people—especially those bornto families who have lived in the U.S.for many generations—apparently reached their___35___in the early1960s.And they aren't likely to get any taller."In the general

thing.But after a while we begin to carelessly___44___small errors and miss daily opportunities for improvement.This is because the natural tendency of the human brain is to___45___repeated behaviors

sequence___47___.The more we repeat atask the more mindless it becomes.Mindless activity is the___48___of deliberate practice.The danger of practicing the same thing again and again is that progress becomes___49___.Too often,we think we are getting better simply because we are gaining experience.In___50___,we are merely reinforcing(加强)our current habits—not improving them.Claiming that improvement requires attention and effort sounds logical enough.But what does deliberatepractice actually look like in the real world?The first effective feedback system is___51___.This holds true for the number of pages we read,the numberof pushups we do,the number of sales calls we make,and any other task that is important to us.It is only through measurement that we have any___52___of whether we are getting better or worse.The second effective feedback system is coaching.One consistent finding across disciplines is that coaches are often essential for___53___deliberate practice.In many

best effort each day.Deliberate practice is not a comfortable activity.It requires sustained effort and concentration,but if you can manage to maintain your focus and___55___,then the promise of

passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinishedstatements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.Choose the one that fits best accordingto the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A traffic jam when you’re already late.A free ride when you’ve already paid.The fact that the King James Bible is the most shoplifted book in the United States.One of these three things is an example of irony—the reversal of what is expected or intended.The other twoare not.The difference between them may be one of the most curious linguistic(语言学的)misunderstandingsyou’re likely to encounter.“Ironic”does not,technically,mean“unfortunate,”“interesting,”or“coincidental,”despitethese terms often being used interchangeably.And that frequent misuse has not escaped linguists(语言学家);according to the editors at ,“We estimate that ironic might be the most abused word in the Englishlanguage.”So what does irony really mean and where does the confusion come from?Part of the ambiguity probably originates from the fact that there are no fewer than three definitions of irony depending on which dictionary youuse.There’s Socratic irony(an ancient dialogue move),and dramatic irony(an ancient theatrical move),but thedefinition of irony we care about is situational irony.Situational irony occurs when,as the Oxford EnglishDictionary defines it,“a state of affairs or an event…seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is oftenslightly amusing as a result.”The trick,is the deliberately contrary part—for a situation to be ironic,it must be the opposite of what is expected, not merely an amusing coincidence.A traffic jam when you’re already late may be an undesirable coincidence,butit is not the opposite outcome one would expect when leaving for work late.Instead,College Humor writer PatrickCassels corrects the situation like this:“A traffic jam when you’re already late to receive an award from the MuncipalPlanning Board for reducing the city’s automobile congestion by80percent.”Now that’s irony.56.The common misunderstanding of the word“ironic”is that_____.A.it describes something unlucky,amusing or coincidentalB.it shows something that is opposite to what is expected or intendedC.it means unfortunate,interesting and coincidental at the same timeD.it is not the most abused word in the English language57.The underlined word“ambiguity”means______.A.distinctionB.understandingC.uncertaintyD.issue58.Which following situation can be described as“ironic”according to the above passage?A.John was supposed to enjoy a free ride but actually he had paid for it before.B.Alexander Bell invented the telephone,but refused to keep one in his study for fear of distraction.C.Y ou had planned a perfect wedding and invited all the important people,when it started to rain.D.McDonalds’employee warned against eating Kentucky Fried Chicken burgers and fries.59.What will be the best title for the passage?A.An Unexpected Traffic JamB.The Most Misused Word in EnglishC.Why Is the Word Irony MisusedD.Curious Linguists Settled Another Misunderstanding(B)60.In Fabric&Styles,which item leaves you with the least personal choice?A.FabricB.Fly StyleC.Pocket StyleD.Thread Color61.According to the passage,which of the following statements is True?A.The tailor will meet all the requirements on your jeans on condition that you state every detail clearly in yourorder.B.If the order with wrong measurements has already been processed,nothing can be done to fix the situation.C.Before payment,you’d better check your order in detail and can still make modifications if necessary.D.Y ou will have to wash your jeans upon receipt,because they don’t fit perfectly until they shrink a little afterwashing.62.If you place an overseas order with full payments by PayPal on October12,you will receive your jeans no laterthan______.A.Oct.21B.Oct.26C.Nov.16D.Nov.20(C)Social norms of right and wrong are vital to a well-functioning society.However,such moral standards are changeable and the psychological mechanisms(机制)driving this change are unknown.Now,researchers at Karolinska Institutet report that our view of selfish and unselfish behaviors changes depending on how common they are.The results are based on a combination of behavioral experiments,mathematical models and computer simulations.In the experiments,the participants first observed other people’s behavior in a so-called“public goodsgame”,in which players receive a sum of money and then choose either to invest it to varying degrees so that itbenefits everyone in the group,or to keep it for themselves.After every round,the participants were asked to judgethe different choices as morally right or wrong,and whether the choices ought to be punished with a reduction inhow much the players gained.Uselfish behavior was considered more morally right than selfish,but both behaviors were judged to be more Moral and less deserving of punishment if the majority exhibited them than if they were uncommon.The Commonness of the selfish behavior also affected the participants’willingness to themselves pay to punish selfishness.“Tolerance of selfish behavior increased when the majority of the players kept the money for themselves,which surprised me,”says principal investigator Andreas Olsson,senior lecturer at Karolinska Institutet’s Department ofClinical Neuroscience.“The fact that a behavior is common doesn’t automatically mean that it’s right—this idea isbased on faulty logical that confuses facts with moral values.”The study shows our view of what is morally right and wrong has strong similarities with social conformity,in that we tend to adapt ourselves to the people around us and how they behave.This means that changes in our social environment can quickly alter our moral compass.“This is interesting from several angles,and could explain why normal attitudes change over time,such asthose towards public goods or legality,”says Bjorn Lindstrom,postdoc at University of Zurich and Karolinska Institutet’s Department of Clinical Neuroscience.63.According to Andreas Olsson’s analysis,if people accept selfish behavior,they actually_____.A.get facts and moral values mixed upB.misunderstand social mechanismsC.follow the logic of their ownD.consider it correct and reasonable64.It can be concluded that the participants in the experiments are punished if_____.A.they can’t play“public goods game”B.invest the money to benefit group membersC.they behave differently from the majorityD.they keep the money for themselves65.According to the passage,what is morally right or wrong is shaped by the following Expert___.A.the way people around us behaveB.changes in our social environmentC.personal standards of values and attitudesD.how widespread a particular behavior is66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.The psychological mechanisms behind attitude changeB.Behavior is considered more moral the more common it isC.Our view of selfish and unselfish behaviorsD.Moral standards of selfish and unselfish behaviorsSection CDirections:Read the following passage and choose the most suitable statement from A-F for each Blank.Thereare two extra statements,which you do not need.FIVE W A YS TO KILL YOUR DREAMSI dedicated the past two years to understanding how people achieve their dreams.When we think about the dreams we have,and the footprint we want to leave in the universe,it is striking to see how big of an overlap thereis between the dreams that we have and projects that never happen.So I’m here to talk to you today about five wayshow not to follow your dreams.One:___67___.Y ou know the story,right?The tech guy built a mobile app and sold it very fast for a lot of money.Y ou knowthe story may seem real,but I bet it’s incomplete.If you go investigate further,the guy has done30apps before andhe has done a master’s on the topic,a Ph.D.He has been working on the topic for20years.This is really interesting.I myself have a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success.I come from a humble family,and twoweeks before the deadline to apply to MIT,I started the application process.And,voila!I got in.People may thinkit’s an overnight success,but that only worked because for the17years prior to that,I took life and education seriously.You overnight success story is always a result of everything you’ve done in your life through that moment.Two:Believe someone else has the answers for you.Constantly,people want to help out,right?All sorts of people:your family,your friends,your business partners, they all have opinions on which path you should take:“And let me tell you,go through this pipe.”But wheneveryou go inside,there are other ways you have to pick as well.And you need to make those decisions yourself.___68___.And you need to keep picking those decisions,right?The pipes are infinite and you’re going to bumpyour head,and it’s a part of process.Three:Decide to settle when growth is guaranteed.So when your life is going great,you have put together a great team,and you have growing revenue,and everything is set—time to settle.When I launched my first book,I worked really,really hard to distribute iteverywhere in Brazil.With that over three million people downloaded it,over50,000people bought physical copies.When I wrote a sequel,some impact was guaranteed.Even if I did little,sales would be okay.But okay is neverokay.When you’re growing towards a peak,you need to work harder than ever and find yourself another peak.Maybe if I did little,a couple hundred thousand people would read it,and that’s great already.But if I work harderthan ever,I can bring this number up to millions.That’s why I decided,with my new book,to go to every singlestate of Brazil.And I can already see a higher peak.There’s no time to settle down.Four:Blame others for the fault.I constantly see people saying,“Y es,I had this great idea,but no investor had the vision to invest.”“Oh,I created this great product,but the market is so bad,the sales didn’t go well.”or“I can’t find good talent,my team is sobelow expectations.”___69___.Yes,it.May be hard to find talent.Yes,the market may be bad.But if no oneinvested in your idea,if no one bought your product,for sure,there is something there that is your fault.Definitely.You need to get your dreams and make them happen.And no one achieved their goals alone.But if you didn’t makethem happen,it’s your fault and no one else’s.Be responsible for your dreams.Five:Only pay attention to the dreams themselvles.Once I saw an ad,and it was a lot of friends,they were going up a mountain,it was a very high mountain and it was a lot of work.You could see that they were sweating and this was tough.And they were going up,and theyfinally made it to the peak.Of course,they decided to celebrate,right?I’m going to celebrate,so,“Yes!We madeit,we’re at the top!”Two seconds later,one looks at the other and says,“Okay,let’s go down.”Life is never aboutthe goals themselves.Life is about the journey.Yes,you should enjoy the goals themselves,but people think thatyou have dreams,and whenever you get to reaching one of those dreams,it’s a magical place where happiness willbe all around.___70___.The only way to really achieve all of your dreams is to fully enjoy every step of yourjourney.That’s the best way.Ⅳ.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize in no more than60words the main idea of the passage andhow it is e your own words as far as possible.It is university true that all parents in the world love their children.However,as parents'views of life vary,they show their love in different ways.The monarch type of parents are intolerant and self-centered.They lay down regulations in the family for their children to observe.Furthermore,they insist that their children should act upon them without question.With a firmbelief in their own philosophy of life,they have litter respect for others'opinions,least of all,their children's.Thesentence they say most frequently to their children is,“Y ou should do this.”Contrary to the monarch-type parents,the servant-type parents revolve around their children all the time.Theyare soft,good-nature,and easy-going.They never deny their children any wish,and cheerfully run to buy anythingtheir children ask for.They are happy so long as their children are content.With the sincere belief that love meanssacrifice,they are ready to give up anything for their children's sake.With their children at the center of their lives,The friends-type parents,as the term implies,treat their Children as friends.They are generous and wise.Like good friends,they discuss with their children the latest news,share their children's interests,and listen attentivelyto their children's expression of emotion,whether it is anger,fear,joy or sorrow.They have a close relationship withtheir children while sticking to their principled stand.They discuss problems with their children rather than provideready solution.They respect their children as their equals.They often say:“Let's put our heads together and seewhat we can do.”There is no doubt that children welcome the third type of parents,for a free,friendly,and sympathetic atmosphere at home is most favorable to the development of youngsters both in body and in mind.All parentsshould re-examine and change some of their ways of showing their love if they want their children to grow uphappily and healthily.第二卷Ⅴ.Translation.Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the

The family had just moved to Rhode Island, and the young woman was feeling a little 11 on that Sunday in May. After all, it was Mother‟s Day--- and 800 miles 12 her from her parents in Ohio. She had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy Mother‟s Day, and her mother had mentioned how 13 the yard was. As they talked, she could almost 14 the inviting fragrance of purple lilacs(紫丁香) .Later, when she mentioned to me how she 15 those lilacs, I jumped up from my chair. “I know where we can find you all you want.” So 16 they went, driving the country roads of northern Rhode Island on such a 17 day.There, 18 view of passing motorists and hidden from encroaching civilization, were the towering lilacs bushes. 19 , she chose a branch here, another one there. Finally, they returned to their car for the trip 20 . When they were within three miles of home, she suddenly shouted to her husband, “Stop the car. Stop right here!”At the top of the hill was a nursing home and she saw a(n) 21 patient was sitting in her wheelchair, alone, 22 bowed. Up the stairs went the flowers, onto the lap of the old woman. She lifted her head, and smiled. As the car 23 , the woman in the wheelchair waved, and held the lilacs tightly.“Mom,”the kids asked, “Why did you give her our 24 ?”The mother said she didn't know the old woman.

Ma said that the IPO marks a milestone of the Hangzhou-based company and represents a success story for the hard work of 15 years by all of Alibaba's people. “We are lucky,” said Ma before the bell-opening ceremony at the Big Board. “The luck is from our customers, the Internet and China (referring to the country's booming e-commerce market) and we are very grateful to them.”Ma emphasized the value of Alibaba‟s customers, saying they have made Alibaba what it is today. He chose eight Alibaba customers—seven Chinese and one American to represent the company at the ringing of the opening bell to show the company‟s appreciation for them. Ma also shared his view on Chinese firms becoming global. “It‟s not just abou t having presence in overseas markets; it is about having a global mind,” he said.Still, many consider Alibaba‟s success a unique story about a Chinese firm, praising Ma‟s vision and his courage to be bold enough to dream big.“Especially, considering its humble beginnings—an e-commerce company started in 1999 with $60,000 cobbled together by Jack Ma, a teacher,” said Timothy P. Speiss, chairman of Personal Wealth Advisors Practice of New York-based Eisner Amper LLP. “Alibaba has solidified its status as a symbol of China‟s economic and technology strength by raising $21.8 billion in its US initial public offering.”Frank Lavin, founder of the e-commerce platform Export Now, which helps American manufacturers and distributors sell online in China, said Alibaba's IPO is a “growth story” that goes beyond the Chinese market.“EBay and Amazon have been multi-market firms for a number of years, and this IPO puts Alibaba into that top-tier rank,” said Lavin. “Regardless of how big the US or the China market is, the top-tier companies need to be global.”When speaking about the value of its customers, Ma emphasized the value of small-to medium-sized businesses that have been important for the e-commerce giant. Michael Tudor, founder and CEO of New Jersey-based Ripen eCommerce, said small to midium-sized businesses can look at Alibaba as a shortcut to reaching the massive Chinese e-commerce market.There are more than 10 million small- and-medium-sized enterprises in China, which have created 60 percent of China's total economic output, according to a paper by the University of Michigan. Some financial experts are concerned about the scale of Alibaba's IPO, which potentially might create strong competition for US e-commerce firms such as Amazon and eBay.31. The IPO opening of Alibaba rose up to ________ of its initial price at the NewYork Stock Exchange on Sept 19th.A. nearly 40 percentB. 69 percentC. 92.70 percent nearlyD. nearly 140 percent32. With $231.4 billion now, Jack Ma thinks _________.A. he will be richer than Inc and EBay IncB. he has opened a new chapter for the Chinese companyC. it will be harder for Alibaba to pay back the trust of the customersD. it will be difficult for Alibaba to raise more money in the future.33. From the passage we know that ___________ rang the opening bell.A. Jack MaB. the customersC. Frank LavinD. Timothy P. Speiss34. From the passage we can infer that _________.A. Small businesses can use Alibaba as a shortcut to a giantB. Alibaba will defeat the US e-commerce firms in the futureC. many small enterprises in China will become larger than AlibabaD. the US e-commerce firms will face strong competitions in the futureAstronauts aboard the space station celebrated a space first on Wednesday by drinking water that had been recycled from their urine (尿),sweat and water got from air. They said “cheers,” clicked drinking bags and toasted NASA workers on the ground.The urine recycling system is needed for astronaut stations on the moon and Mars. It also will have NASA money because it won't have to ship up as much water to the station by space shuttles or cargo rockets. Besides, it's important as the space station is about to expand from three people living on board to six.The recycling system had been brought up to the space station last November by space shuttles Endeavour, but it couldn't be used until samples were tested back on earth: So when it came time to actually drink up, NASA made a big deal of it. The three-man crew stood holding their drinks and congratulated engineers in two NASA centers that worked on the system.“This is something that had been the stuff of science fiction,” American astronaut Michael Barratt said before taking a small mouthful. “The taste is worth trying.”The new system takes the combined urine of the crew from the toilet, moves it to a big tank, where the water is boiled off, and the vapor is collected. The rest of the urine is thrown away.Then the water vapor is mixed with water from air, and then it goes through filters(过滤器).When six crew members are aboard it can make about six gallons from urine in about six hours. “Some people may find the idea of drinking recycled urine distasteful. It is also done on Earth, but with a lot longer time between urine and the tap,” said Marybeth Edeen, the space station‟s national lab manager.The technology NASA developed for his system has already been used for quick water purification after the 2004 Asian tsunami.35.

Other Chinglish words or phrases in thedictionary include “gelivable”, “people mountainpeople sea”(very crowded) as well as several otherChinese expressions.Zhang Meilan is a Chinese Language and Literature professor at Tsinghua University. She discussed her views of Chinglish.“Chinglish can not be described as something good or something bad. Chinglish is storage of a mixture of languages. As Experts in the field of linguistics, we use Chinglish when researching about the development of languages. The increasing amount of foreigners that travel China for business or for educational purposes also means that Chinglish still has a distinctive purpose.”The Urban Dictionary is a Web-based dictionary, founded in 1999 by Aaron Peckham, which contains more than seven million definitions. Submissions are regulated by volunteer editors and rated by site visitors. The Urban Dictionary offers literal definitions and descriptions of international urban terms. Each definition is automatically accepted or rejected based on the number of “Publish” or “Don't Publish” votes it receives by editors. Editors are comprised of public volunteers. There are no criteria that editors have to follow in approving or rejecting definitions.“You can you up, no can no bb.”The latest Chinglish buzz phrase, having swept through Chinese cyberspace and society, has now made a landing overseas, entering the US web-based Urban Dictionary where it has been liked nearly 4000 times.“You can you up,” meaning “if you can do it go ahead and do it”, i s a Chinglish phrase directed at people who criticize others' work, especially when the critic is not that much better. The entry continues: Often followed by “no can no BB”, which means “if you can't do it then don't even criticize it”.Linguists say the phenomenon shows that Chinglish is now being accepted by the rest of the world and has been integrated into daily life.As well as “you can you up”, other Chinglish catch phrases, such as “tuhao” and “no zuo no die”, have also been recorded on the site.Coined with roots in Chinese grammar, and even containing Hanyu Pinyin, Chinglish words and phrases are even spreading beyond grassroots websites.In 2010, an article published by the Economist cited the term “guanggun” (bare branches, or men who will not add to the family tree) to refer to the “overaged” single male; in 2013, “dama” and …tuhao” found their way into the Wall Street Journal and the BBC, and words such as feng shui, Maotai, and gan bu have been admitted to the Oxford English Dictionary.“Words like dama and tuhao are so vivid. My friends and I use them a lot—it‟s so much fun,” said Satoshi Nishida, a Japanese student studying at Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU).“Behind these Chinglish words and phrases is the Chinese culture. They are reflections of the changes and trends in the Chinese society and they help people from other countries to understand what‟s happening in China,” according to Xing Hongbing, professor with BLCU.“When the price of gold went down last year, while the super purchasing power of the Chinese bargain-hunting middle-aged women drew worldwide attention, there was no effective way available in other languages to describe them, and “dama” filled the gap very neatly,” says Xing. Once a dama came to a gold store an d said proudly: “Give me two jin gold bricks”. As a result, the News headline is “Chinese Dama PK Wall Street speculators ”42.
