You’ve probably seen some pretty“interesting”English translations.For example,it is16to see“Chinglish”on restaurant menus and on signs in public areas in China.Japan is now working to17its English signs so that Array tourists will have an easier time getting around during the2020Olympics.Working on public transportation signs is especiallyimportant,18tourists will take trains and buses to get around.The Japan Tourism Agency recently19a two-monthinvestigation(调查)into the websites of85train and bus companiesaround the country.The agency found some rather odd(古怪的)translations.For example,onetransportation company refers to children as“dwarfs(侏儒)”.Other20include“ForgottenCenter”for“lost and found”,and“release place”for“ticket machine”.But people21whether there will be enough time to correct its English.One expertthinks it’s too late.Gregory Hadley,a professor at Niigata University,thinks it22be done.Healso pointed out that many companies simply don’t want to spend money hiring translators andreprint their materials.23,the people who first translated the materials probably won’t want to lose face byadmitting(承认)translating them24,he added.Anyway,whether it can fix its signs or not,Japan is preparing25for a wave of tourism.About30million people visited the country last year and the number will hit40million next year,when the2020Olympics officially kick off.16.A.interesting mon C.surprising D.boring17.A.invent B.impress C.improve D.introduce18.A.unless B.if C.because D.so19.A.carried out B.turned out C.gave out D.moved out20.A.lessons B.mistakes C.symbols D.marks21.A.doubt B.prove C.believe D.suggest22.A.needn’t B.shouldn’t C.can’t D.mustn’t23.A.However B.Therefore C.Instead D.Moreover24.A.incorrectly B.impatiently C.impolitely D.unluckily25.A.themselves B.yourself C.myself D.itself三、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳答案。
