English are based on animals.When children jump around and act silly,for example,their parents may tell them to stop monkeying around.To monkey around means to do things that are not useful or serious,or to__46__waste time.But to spend time playing with their family pets wouldn’t count as monkeying around.Many American families have a pet dog,which makes the children feel happy.But for some reason,which language experts do not know,Americans use“dog”in a phrase that means to feel unwell.If you are as sick as a dog,you are really,really sick and will most likely have to stay home and rest,or__47__go and see a doctor.Apart from dogs,cats are also beloved family members in U.S.households.Sometimes you may hear them__48__in Americans’conversations.“I told you to keep that a secret,but you have just let the cat out of the bag!”You probably have guessed it–that idiom means to reveal a secret or tell facts that were previously unknown.Dogs and cats don’t always get along,but they appear side by side in a__49__used idiom.When it rains heavily,people might say it’s raining cats and dogs outside!Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself.Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t__50__someone else to love you until you love yourself.Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky.Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’eyes,and that our grandmas think we’re great talents and our uncles think that we will go to the Olympics,but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves.If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge,it is time you__51__a positive self-image and learnt to love yourself.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes.That is,make a list if you need to,but write down all of the great things you do every day.Don’t allow doubts to__52__in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself.Well,roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task.If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math,find a tutor.If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile,get to the track and__53__.If you think you’re dull becauseyou don’t wear the latest trends,buy a few new clothes.But remember,just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.plete the sentences with the given words in their proper forms.54.The referee’s________description of the rules resulted in a lot of arguments among the players. (accuracy)55.Our suitcases are both heavy,but it seems that mine is a lot________.(weigh)56.Before I went abroad,my friend said to me,“When in Rome,do as________do.”(Rome)57.All the relatives and friends looked________at the young man who suffered from the deadly disease. (worry)58.The________being so tricky made it very tough for the police to trace them.(theft)59.The precise details of the origins of life remain________.(hide)60.________duties are taxes that people pay for importing and exporting goods.(custom)61.Succeeding in winning the competition gave me a sense of________.(achieve)V.Rewrite the following sentences as required.62.The headmaster noticed the teaching staff play with mobile phones at the meeting.（改为被动语态）The teaching staff________noticed________play with mobile phones at the meeting.63.The man of few words over there used to be our boss.（反义疑问句）The man of few words over there used to be our boss,________________?64.Will they go to the orphanage or the old people’s home?They haven’t decided.（两句并一句）They haven’t decided________they________go to the orphanage or the old people’s home.e back early this evening,or you won’t be able to watch your favourite live show on TV.（保持原句意思）________you________early this evening,you won’t be able to watch your favourite live show on TV.66.Mrs.Church said to me,“I’m surprised that you progressed so rapidly.”（保持原句意思）Mrs.Church didn’t________me________progress so rapidly.67.It’s much fun to go cycling with some of my best friends at weekends.（改为感叹句）________________it is to go cycling with some of my best friends at weekends!68.well,the manager,as,provide,and,to,delicious food,excellent service,promised（连词成句）________________________________________________________________________plete the sentences according to the Chinese.69.He has a shop________（属于自己的）,and he_____________________（每天在街角友好地和我打招呼）.70.The________（精力充沛的表演者）is________________________（忙着练习骑独轮车）.71.After________（他的钱包被抢）,he________________________（匆忙去警察局详细地报告这起抢劫案）.72.Whenever I________________（入睡有困难）,I________________（看无聊的参考书）.73.I can________________（背出所有的不规则动词）and I________________（期待老师满意这个结果）.Part3Reading and WritingVII.Reading comprehension.A.Choose the best answerAn urban legend is my modern story,usually fictional,but which is told as if it really happened. These legends are passed from person to person and reach a wide audience.A lot of them are inspired by a real event but the story changes as it is passed on.Although most legends are false,some turn out to be true.Here are some examples.Do you think they are true or false?UnluckyA student had not done his homework.The day before the essay was due in,he went to the university library and found an old essay written on the same subject.He simply copied it,typed it up and handed it in.A few weeks later,the teacher was handing the essays back to the class.She stopped by the student’s desk and said,“Twenty-five years ago,when I wrote this essay,it got a B,__________”She set the essay on the student’s desk,and there on the cover was a big A!The teacher continued,“If you try anything like this again,I’ll have you thrown out of school.”Caught on filmA young couple were married.The bride’s father gave them a lavish wedding and took a large wad of cash to pay people like the band,bartender,waiters,etc.At one point,the father took off his jacket to dance.When he later retrieved it,he discovered that the money was missing.A couple of weeks later,the entire family gathered to watch the video of the wedding.At one point,the groom’s father,unbeknown to him,could be seen in the background taking the money from the bride’s father’s coat!Of course this created a scandal(丑闻)and the marriage was immediately declared invalid.Confusing packagingThe packaging of consumer products,a convenience so familiar to Americans,can be confusing to a foreign visitor.I was lunching in the college cafeteria one afternoon with a young student from overseas. Noticing that he had torn open his tea bag and emptied his contents into his cup,I explained that the bag itself was meant to be dipped,unopened,into the water.A bit surprised,he thanked me graciously for correcting him–and then confidently dropped an unopened envelope of sugar into his tea.74.According to the passage,urban legends are stories that________.1.are always based on a true story2.are told as if they are true3.are always false4.are modern5.are known by lots of peopleA.1,2,4,5B.2,4,5C.1,3,4D.3,575.The student in Unlucky was unlucky because_______.A.he wrote the wrong essayB.the teacher gave him the wrong gradeC.he couldn’t find his copy of essayD.he copied the wrong person’s essay76.Which of the following is the most suitable to be put into the blank in the second paragraph?A.I wrote it by myself instead of copyingB.It needed a lot of improvement.C.You did much better than I.D.I always thought it deserved an A.77.After watching the video in Caught on film,the bride’s family probably felt_______.A.amusedB.emotionalC.embarrassedD.angry78.Which of the pictures below shows what the student’s cup looked like in Confusing packaging?79.One adjective which could be used to describe all of these urban legends would be________?A.amusingB.impossibleC.excitingD.shockingB.Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.Should museums be free?That’s the question many people are asking following news of a class action lawsuit(集体诉讼)against one of the world’s most prestigious,expensive and visited museums.New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art is accused of deceptive ticketing practices.The lawsuit charges that the museum leads people to believe the$25fee is__80__rather than merely recommended.The Met attracts six million visitors per year,all of whom see a sign at the entrance informing the museum’s$25adult admission fee.Though in smaller type just below the price is the word “recommended”.Over40percent visitors pay the full ticket prices__81__noticing it.The lawsuit has raised questions about the pricing of museums across the U.S.,ranging free to a recommended fee to mandatory(强制的)ticket fee.This is__82__some countries,like the U.K.,where all national museums are free.A survey of30top U.S.museums by The Art Newspaper has found that the root of the debate can be divided into two camps.One camp focuses on museums,revenue(收益),while the other believes museums should be free community__83__.According to the survey,museums in smaller cities tend not to charge admission fees,such as Ohio’s Cleveland Museum of Art.Museums in larger cities,such as New York’s Met,tend to charge high entry fees.Museums in major cities,especially those that attract tourists,charge a lot for entry.Their counterparts in areas with__84__international tourists or which rely on local visitors are more likely to be free because they need those visitors to return.If more museums were to adopt free admission policies,support mechanisms would need to be __85__.Among them would be strong government grant programs for the art,more private donations and a revived culture of philanthropy to support culture institutions.What do you think?Should museums be free for all?80. A.prohibited B.forced C.voluntary D.required81. A.after B.before C.without D.while82. A.different from B.keeping pace with C.in contrast to D.similar to83. A.treasures B.resources C.sources D.services84. A.increasing B.decreasing C.more D.fewer85. A.in time B.in need C.in place D.in orderC.Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.Anxiety is the appropriate emotion when the personal terror–of a volcano,an arrow,a stab(刺伤)in the back and other disasters,all directed against one’s self–d__86__.The kind of world that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative s__87__,a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death.The anxiety exists as an uneasy state of mind,in whichone has a feeling that something unspecified(不具体的)and indeterminable may go wrong.If the world seems to be going well,this produces anxiety–for good times may end.If the world is going badly–it may get w__88__.Anxiety tends to be without f__89__;the anxious person doesn’t know whether to blame himself or other people.He isn’t sure whether it is the current year of the administration or a change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this undefined sense of unease.It is clear that we have developed a society which depends on having the right amount of anxiety to make it work.W__90__we agree that too much anxiety is harmful to mental health,we have come to rely on anxiety to push us into seeing a doctor about a symptom which may indicate cancer,into checking up on that old life insurance policy which may have out-of-date terms in it,into having a conference with our child’s teacher even though his report card looks all right.People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up,have the brakes checked,don’t take a drink when they have to drive.People who are too anxious either r__91__to go into cars–and so complicate the ordinary course of life–or drive so tensely and carefully that they help avoid accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take their c__92__,which increases the terrible accidents of the roads.D.Answer the questions.Years ago,a walk around Beijing’s hutong would mean hearing chatting locals adding“-er”to the end of syllables.However,this feature can hardly be heard among today’s Beijing dwellers(居民).A recent report by the Ministry of Education(教育部)shows that the Beijing dialect is declining among the younger generation.With quick social development over recent years,an increasing number of migrants with different dialects can be found all over China.However,people are encouraged to speak Putonghua between each other,making the existence of dialects in danger.But rather than just letting the problem be,efforts are being made to save these local dialects because of the culture they carry.For many Chinese who live outside their hometowns,dialect is an important reminder of who they are and where they come from.From dialects,we can also know the history and local culture behind them.To save these valuable parts of history,the State Language Commission(国家语言文字工作委员会) has set up databases since2008to cover different local dialects,while many areas such as Beijing, Shanghai and Zhejiang province have built museums.The Beijing municipal education authorities(北京市教育部门)also plans to make the Beijing dialect part of its school-based curriculum.And it’s not just the government that is making an effort to keep the country’s dialects–an increasing number of individuals are joining in the effort,too.Wang Han,a well-known host of Hunan TV,has invested several million yuan into the research and protection of Hunan dialects.But all these efforts are still not enough to keep dialects from fading away.What we’re doing now is mostly rescue works.A more effective measure to keep them alive could be using elements such as pop songs and the“celebrity effect”(名人效应)to attract the young to use dialects.They need to realize that speaking their local dialect is something they can be proud of.93.We can’t often hear chatting locals adding“-er”to the end of syllables among today’s Beijing dwellers,can we?94.What endangers the existence of dialects?95.Why do we try to save dialects?96.Who is making efforts to protect dialects?97.How can we keep dialects alive in a more effective way?By______________________________________________.98.Are you for or against the government’s efforts to save dialects?Can you think of any other way to help attract the young to use dialects?VIII.WritingWrite a passage on the topic“I’m a lucky boy/girl”in at least60words.请以“我是一个幸运的男孩/女孩”为题写一篇至少60个词的短文。

Each word or phrase can only be used once.Many idioms in English are based on animals.When children jump around and act silly, for example, their parents may tell them to stop monkeying around. To monkey around means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to __46__ waste time.But to spend time playing with their family pets wouldn’t count as monkeying around. Many American families have a pet dog, which makes the children feel happy. But for some reason, which language experts do not know, Americans use “dog” in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are as sick as a dog, you are really, really sick and will most likely have to stay home and rest, or __47__ go and see a doctor.Apart from dogs, cats are also beloved family members in U.S. households. Sometimes you may hear them __48__ in Americans’ conversations. “I told you to keep that a secret, but you have just let the cat out of the bag!” You probably have guessed it – that idiom means to reveal a secret or tell facts that were previously unknown.Dogs and cats don’t always get along, but they appear side by side in a __49__ used idiom. When it rains heavily, people might say it’s raining cats and dogs outside!Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t __50__ someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our grandmas think we’re great talents and our uncles think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you __51__ a positive self-image and learnt to love yourself.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to __52__ in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and __53__. If you think you’redull because ________you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.plete the sentences with the given words in their proper forms.54.

These legends are passed from person to person and reach a wide audience. A lot of them are inspired by a real event but the story changes as it is passed on. Although most legends are false, some turn out to be true. Here are some examples. Do you think they are true or false?UnluckyA student had not done his homework. The day before the essay was due in, he went to the university library and found an old essay written on the same subject. He simply copied it, typed it up and handed it in. A few weeks later, the teacher was handing the essays back to the class. She stopped by the student’s desk and said, “Twenty-five years ago, when I wrote this essay, it got a B, __________” She set the essay on the student’s desk, and there on the cover was a big A! The teacher continued, “If you try anything like this again, I’ll have you thrown out of school.”Caught on filmA young couple were married. The bride’s father gave them a lavish wedding and took a large wad of cash to pay people like the band, bartender, waiters, etc. At one point, the father took off his jacket to dance. When he later retrieved it, he discovered that the money was missing. A couple of weeks later, the entire family gathered to watch the video of the wedding. At one point, the groom’s father, unbeknown to him, could be seen in the background taking the money from the bride’s father’s coat! Of course this created a scandal(丑闻) and the marriage was immediately declared invalid.Confusing packagingThe packaging of consumer products, a convenience so familiar to Americans, can be confusing to a foreign visitor. I was lunching in the college cafeteria one afternoon with a young student from overseas. Noticing that he had torn open his tea bag and emptied his contents into his cup, I explained that the bag itself was meant to be dipped, unopened, into the water. A bit surprised, he thanked me graciously for correcting him – and then confidently dropped an unopened envelope of sugar into his tea.74. According to the passage, urban legends are stories that ________.1. are always based on a true story2. are told as if they are true3. are always false4. are modern5. are known by lots ofpeopleA. 1,2,4,5B. 2,4,5C. 1,3,4D. 3,575.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.Should museums be free? That’s the question many people are asking following news of a class action lawsuit(集体诉讼) against one of the world’s most prestigious, expensive and visited museums.New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art is accused of deceptive ticketing practices. The lawsuit charges that the museum leads people to believe the $25 fee is __80__ rather than merely recommended.The Met attracts six million visitors per year, all of whom see a sign at the entrance informing the museum’s $25 adult admission fee. Though in smaller type just below the price is the word “recommended” . Over 40 percent visitors pay the full ticket prices __81__ noticing it.The lawsuit has raised questions about the pricing of museums across the U.S., ranging free to a recommended fee to mandatory(强制的) ticket fee. This is __82__ some countries, like the U.K., where all national museums are free.A survey of 30 top U.S. museums by The Art Newspaper has found that the root of the debate can be divided into two camps. One camp focuses on museums, revenue( 收 益 ), while the other believes museums should be free community __83__.According to the survey, museums in smaller cities tend not to charge admission fees, such as Ohio’s Cleveland Museum of Art. Museums in larger cities, such as New York’s Met, tend to charge high entry fees. Museums in major cities, especially those that attract tourists, charge a lot for entry. Their counterparts in areas with __84__ international tourists or which rely on local visitors are more likely to be free because they need those visitors to return.If more museums were to adopt free admission policies, support mechanisms would need to be __85__. Among them would be strong government grant programs for the art, more private donations and a revived culture ofphilanthropy to support culture institutions.What do you think? Should museums be free for all?80. A. prohibited81. A. after82. A. different from83. A. treasures84. A. increasing85. A. in timeB. forced B. before B. keeping pace with B. resources B. decreasing B. in needC. voluntaryD. required C. without D. while C. in contrast to D. similar to C. sources D. services C. more D. fewer C. in place D. in orderC. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.Anxiety is the appropriate emotion when the personal terror – of a volcano, an arrow, a stab(刺伤) in the back and other disasters, all directed against one’s self – d__86__.The kind of world that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative s__87__, a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death. The anxiety exists as an uneasystate of mind, in whichone has a feeling that something unspecified(不具体的) and indeterminable may go wrong. If the world seems to be going well, this produces anxiety – for good times may end. If the world is going badly – it may get w__88__. Anxiety tends to be without f__89__; the anxious person doesn’t know whether to blame himself or other people. He isn’t sure whether it is the current year of the administration or a change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this undefined sense of unease.It is clear that we have developed a society which depends on having the right amount of anxiety to make it work. W__90__ we agree that too much anxiety is harmful to mental health, we have come to rely on anxiety to push us into seeing a doctor about a symptom which may indicate cancer, into checking up on that old life insurance policy which may have out-of-date terms in it, into having a conference with our child’s teacher even though his report card looks all right.People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up, have the brakes checked, don’t take a drink when they have to drive. People who are too anxious either r__91__ to go into cars –and so complicate the ordinary course of life – or drive so tensely and carefully that they help avoid accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take their c__92__, which increases the terrible accidents of the roads.D.Answer the questions.Years ago, a walk around Beijing’s hutong would mean hearing chatting locals adding “-er”to the end of syllables.However, this feature can hardly be heard among today’s Beijing dwellers(居民). A recent report by the Ministry of Education( 教育部) shows that the Beijing dialect is declining among the younger generation.With quick social development over recent years, an increasing number of migrants with different dialects can be found all over China. However, people are encouraged to speak Putonghua between each other, making the existence of dialects in danger.But rather than just letting the problem be, efforts are being made to save these local dialects because of the culture they carry. For many Chinese who live outside their hometowns, dialect is an important reminder of who they are and where they come from. From dialects, we can also know the history and local culture behind them.To save these valuable parts of history, the State Language Commission(国家语言文字工作委员会) has set up databases since 2008 to cover different local dialects, while many areas such as Beijing, Shanghai and Zhejiang province have built museums. The Beijing municipal education authorities(北京市教育部门) also plans to make the Beijing dialect part of its school-based curriculum.And it’s not just the government that is making an effort to keep the country’s dialects – an increasing number of individuals are joining in the effort, too. Wang Han, a well-known host of Hunan TV, has invested several million yuan into the research and protection of Hunan dialects.But all these efforts are still not enough to keep dialects from fading away. What we’re doing now is mostly rescue works. A more effective measure to keep them alive could be using elements such as pop songs and the “celebrity effect”(名人效应) to attract the young to use dialects. They need to realize that speaking their local dialect is something they can be proud of.93. We can’t often hear chatting locals adding “-er”to the end of syllables among today’s Beijing dwellers, can we?94. What endangers the existence of dialects?95. Why do we try to save dialects?96. Who is making efforts to protect dialects?97. How can we keep dialects alive in a more effective way?By ______________________________________________.98. Are you for or against the government’s efforts to save dialects? Can you think of any other way to help attract the young to use dialects?VIII.WritingWrite a passage on the topic “I’m a lucky boy/girl” in at least 60 words. 请以“我是一个幸运的男孩/女孩”为题写一篇至少60 个词的短文。

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage(选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)(6分)Should museums be free? That’s the question many people are asking following news of a cl ass action lawsuit(集体诉论) against one of the world’s most prestigious, expensive and visited museums.New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art is accused of deceptive ticketing practices. The lawsuit charges that the museum leads people to believe the $25 fee is 80 rather than merely recommended.The Met attracts some six million visitors per year, all of whom see a sign at the entrance informing the museum’s $25 adult admission fee. Though in smaller type just below the price is the word “recommended”. Ove r 40 percent visitors pay the full ticket prices 81 noticing it.The lawsuit has raised questions about the pricing of museums across the U.S., ranging free to a recommended fee to mandatory(强制的) ticket fee. This is 82 some countries, like the U. K, where all national museums are free.A survey of 30 top U.S. museums by The Art Newspaper has found that the root of the debate can be divided into two camps. One camp focuses on museums, revenue(收益), while the other believes museums should be free community 83 .According to the survey, museums in smaller cities tend not to charge admission fees, such as Ohio’s Cleveland Museum of Art. Museums in larger cities, such as New York’s Met, tend to charge high entry fees. Museums in major cities, especially those that attract tourists, charge a lot for entry. Their counterparts in areas with 84 fewer international tourists or which rely on local visitors are more likely to be free because they need those visitors to return.If more museums were to adopt free admission policies, support mechanisms would need to be 85 . Among them would be strong government grant programs for the arts, more private donations and a revived culture of philanthropy to support cultural institutions.What do you think? Should museums be free for all?80. A)prohibited B)forced C) voluntary D)required81. A)after B) before C) without D)while82. A)different from B)keeping pace with C) in contrast to D)similar to83.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper word（在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):(14)Anxiety is the appropriate (适当的) emotion when the personal terror－of a volcano, an arrow, a stab (刺伤) in the back and other disasters, all directed against one’s self－－d 86 .The kind of world that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative s 87 , a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death. The anxiety exists as an uneasy state of mind, in which one has a feeling that something unspecified (不具体的) and indeterminable may go wrong. If the world seems to be going well, this produces anxiety－for good times may end．If the world is going badly－it may get w 88 . Anxiety tends to be without f 89 ; the anxious person doesn’t know whether to blame himself or other people. He isn’t sure whether it is the current year of the administration or a change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this undefined sense of unease.It is clear that we have developed a society which depends on having the right amount of anxiety to make it work. W 90 we agree that too much anxiety is harmful to mental health, we have come to rely on anxiety to push us into seeing a doctor about a symptom (症状) which may indicate cancer, into checking up on that old life-insurance policy which may have out-of-date provisions in it, into having a conference with Billy’s teacher even though his report card looks all right．People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up, have the brakes checked, don’t take a second drink when they have to drive. People who are too anxious either r 91 to go into cars at all－and so complicate the ordinary course of life－or drive so tensely and carefully that they help cause accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take their c 92 , which increases the terrible accidents of the roads.D.Answer the questions (根据短文回答下列问题)：（6分）Years ago, a walk around Beijing's hutong would mean hearing chatting locals adding "er” to the end of syllables.However, this feature can hardly be heard among today's Beijing dwellers (居民). A recent report by the Ministry of Education (教育部) shows that the Beijing dialect is declining among the younger generation.With quick social development over recent years, an increasing number of migrants with different dialects can be found all over China. However, people are encouraged to speak Putonghua between each other, making the existence of dialects in danger.But rather than just letting the problem be. Efforts are being made to save these local dialects because of the culture they carry. For many Chinese who live outside their hometowns, dialect is an important reminder of who they are and where they come from. From dialects, we can also know the history and local culture behind them.To save these valuable parts of history, the State Language Commission (国家语言文字工作委员会) has set up databases since 2008 to cover different local dialects. while many areas such as Beijing, Shanghai and Zhejiang province have built museums. The Beijing municipal education authorities (北京市教育部门) also plans to make the Beijing dialect part of its school-based curriculum.And it's not just the government that is making an effort to keep the country's dialects an increasing number of individuals are joining in the effort, too. Wang Han, a well-known host of Hunan TV has invested several million yuan into the research and protection of Hunan dialects.But all these efforts are still not enough 10 keep dialects from fading away. What we’ re doing now is mostly rescue works. A more effective measure to keep them alive could be using elements such as pop songs and the “celebrity effect” (名人效应) to attract the young to use dialects. They need to realize that speaking their local dialect is something they can be proud of.93.We can’t often hear chatting locals adding “-er ” to the end of syllable among today’s Beijing dwellers, can we?94.What endangers the existence of dialects ?95.Why do we try to save dialects ?96.Who is making efforts to protect dialects ?97.How can we keep dialects alive in a more effective way ?By98.Are you for or against the gov ernment’s efforts to save dialects ?
