If you can‘t, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it ran look like a completely foreign language.

Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it‘s great.Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming(破坏) the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted (面目全非的).Everyone should just relax, say linguists (语言学家). They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by wr iting," he says, ―Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way, Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is fo r fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future.‖Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun."57. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?A. To give an example of a foreign language.B.

Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages【河北省2011】CSometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they were sure to be there. They serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your classmate, neighbor, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that every moment they will affect (影响) your life in some serious way.Sometimes things happen to you. At the time they may seem terrible, painful (痛苦的) and unfair. But later you realize that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your further ability and strength. Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.The people you meet affect your life, and the successes and failure (失败) you experience, create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.Enjoy every day even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.

The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents.

Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms.

Some prepare students for workers, others prepare them for college. All schools are great places for making friends and learning German.Short daysMost high schools in Germany begin at about 8:00 a.m. and end at about 3:30 p.m. This means your morning will be busy with classes. You will have time to do homework and take part in private(私人的) clubs after school.Formal settingIn Germany, teachers and students‘ relationship is more formal than y ou might be used to. Teachers are respected and students must use the formal―Sie（德语，您）‖ when talking to teachers.Getting to schoolMost students take public transport to school or ride a bicycle. Some areas have school buses. It is not common for parents to drive students to school.Private clubsIn many countries, schools offer official sports and after-school activities. This is less common in Germany. After-school activities are usually organized through private clubs. There are clubs for things like soccer, dance, choir, theatre and almost everything else. Once you are in Germany, ask around at school and talk to other students to find out what private clubs are in your area and meet your interests.Different states, different schoolsEach of Germany‘s 16 states has its own slightly different school systems.

But things haven‘t stopped there.In1986, Honda made a robot called ASIMO. And now, it has been developed greatly. Standing at 130cm and weighing 54kg, ASIMO is very much like a small astronaut wearing a bag on the back. And he can walk, fight, climb and run fast. Isn‘t it wonderful? The world‘s first robot teacher is Saya. With her human-like face, she can show expressions like happiness, surprise, sadness, dislike, fear and she can even smile or show anger at students, which look much like a real teacher‘s. To do this, her rubber skin is pulled from the back with motors inside. And her eyes and mouth have wires(电线) too. She can also say some simple words like ―hello‖or―thank you‖.In the UK, the development of robots is exciting. The mini-robots will send food, clean floors, collect and throw away waste. These robots can open doors by themselves and stop if anything or anyone is in the way.These mini-robots are very useful for controlling infection(传染).Usually clean and dirty work is done by the same person, but here, you‘ll have robots that do―dir ty work‖,like collecting dirty sheets, or taking away hospital waste; and you‘ll have robots that do―clean work‖,like bringing meals or clean sheets to patients. The robots have separate work so there‘s no way for infection, which is great. But of course, robots would not take the place of humans, but would free up more time for nurses to be with patients.But if this is what it‘s like in 2011, what‘s it going to be like in 2021?42. In the following, which is ASIMO‘s behavior?A. Smiling at people, sa ying ―hello‖.B. Sending food or opening doors by himself.C. Fighting, climbing or running fast.D. Collecting waste for patients.43. What makes Saya look real?A. Her face and rich expressions.B. Her clothes and shoes.C. Her walking and running speed.D. Her rich knowledge.44. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Robots have come a long way since 1986.B. The first robot teacher was made by Honda.C. Saya looks like a small astronaut.D. If anyone or anything is in the way, mini-robots will stop.45. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that _______.A. nurses would have more free time with patientsB. robots would not take the place of humansC. dirty and clean work is always done by the same personD. mini-robots are useful for controlling infection【2011广西百色】 DWe all know the dangers of fires. It‘s good and necessary for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions.Put a smoke alarm(火警) in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once. Make escape(逃脱) plans. We should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.Buy fire extinguishers(灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.Practise for a fire. We do fire practice because we teach children about fire safety.Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:★Don‘t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.★Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises.★What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don‘t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket(毯子) around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.There are many possible causes for fires. A wise family is ready all the time. If there is a fire, don‘t forget to call 119 for help.61.When a smoke alarm rings at home, it means _________.A. you have to get upB. water is running to the floorC. something is burningD. someone breaks your window62.The writer advises us to do the following to prepare for a fire except that ________.A. we practise for a fireB. we make escape plansC. we buy fire extinguishersD. we use electrical cookers63.When a fire happens,____ if you open the hot door.A. the door will soon be on fireB. the electricity will be cut offC. the fire will grow more quicklyD. the house will fall down64.What are the right steps you should take when your hair or clothes catch fire?A.

If you study music or play an instrument, perhaps the person you admire most is gifted musician like Mozart, who began to write beautiful music at a very young age. Or maybe you admire great scientists, for example, Yuan Longping.We have many reasons to admire famous people and we often give much of our respect to them. However, we shouldn‘t neglect those who are common, such as nurses, train drivers, firemen, cleaners and so on. They may be working in a corner of the world without being noticed, but all these people spend their working days serving the public. They show great dedication(奉献).However, what they do is often unnoticed by us. Have you ever thought of what our life will be like if they stop working?So next time when you appreciate famous people, don‘t forget those who are common around you.根据短文内容，选择正确的答案。
