A charming way of saying “Keep off the grass”. But could you figure it out? Or this: “Wash Clothing Store” for laundry. They are both typical Chinglish, a combination of English vocabulary and Chinese grammar. Expressions such as “people mountain people sea”, means extremely crowded, and “give you some color to see”, meaning a punishment, are widely known and recognized. Chinglish has been attracting global attention in recent years as China grows rapidly in status on the world stage, attracting both fans and detractors(批评者). The Beijing Speaks Foreign Languages Programme and English First China Company, a language trainer known as EF Education, jointly launched a campaign to root out poor grammar and misused vocabulary in downtown Beijing. They argue Chinglish is an embarrassment that we should let it die out at all costs. “It is meaningful to allow the capital to show its most beautiful historical and cultural heritage to the world." Michael Lu, vice-president of EF Education said, “since the launching of the campaign, foreign teachers and students had been very keen to volunteer participation.”He believed signs were very important in public services. "The signs in some old buildings confused foreign visitors. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 Chinglish, although the target of much criticism, has also won supporters who regard it as an interesting way for foreigners to learn how Chinese people think and express themselves. “Many Chinglish logos carry Chinese elements and they will enrich the English language,” 32-year-old Oliver Radtke said. He had even published a book “Chinglish: Found in Translation,” on the subject. About 50,000 copies of the book have been sold since it was published in 2007. Some Chinese university experts also side with Chinglish. "English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and the emergence of Chinglish again testifies(说明) to the language’s vitality and inclusiveness," said Shi Anbin, an associate professor of Tsinghua University. 50．How did Chinglish come into being? A. Chinese people misunderstood the meaning of the new words. B. Chinese people combined English vocabulary with Chinese grammar. C. Chinese people based their English on the native English speakers. D. Chinese people make wide use of English vocabulary with bad spelling. 51．What Shi Anbin said means . A. there are many French and Spanish words in English B.

Dogs are more capable of understanding situations from a human's point of view than has previously been recognized, according to researchers. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 They found dogs were four times more likely to steal food they had been forbidden, when lights were turned off so humans in the room could not see. This suggested the dogs were able to alter their behavior when they knew their owners' perspective had changed. The study, published in Animal Cognition, conducted tests on eighty-four dogs. The experiments had been trying to find whether dogs could make their behavior suitable to react to the changed circumstances of their human owners. It wanted to see if dogs had a "flexible understanding" that could show they understood the viewpoint of a human. It found that when the lights were turned off, dogs in a room with their human owners were much more likely to disobey and steal forbidden food. The study says it is "unlikely that the dogs simply forgot that the human was in the room" when there was no light. Instead it seems as though the dogs were able to differentiate between when the human was unable or able to see them. Juliane Kaminski carried out the research into how dogs are influenced by human circumstances. Dr Juliane Kaminski, from the University of Portsmouth's psychology department, said the study was "incredible because it implies dogs understand the human can't see them, meaning they might understand the human perspective". Previous studies have suggested that although humans might think that they can recognize different expressions on their dogs' faces, this is often inaccurate and a projection of human emotions. “Humans constantly attribute(归属) certain qualities and emotions to other living things. We know that our own dog is clever or sensitive, but that's us thinking, not them,” said Dr Kaminski. “These results suggest humans might be right, where dogs are concerned, but we still can't be completely sure if the results mean dogs have a truly flexible understanding of the mind and others' minds. It has always been assumed only humans had this ability. 53．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. The researchers made the test on dogs in eighty-four countries. B. Dogs always obey and don’t steal forbidden food. C. Dogs may adapt their behavior in response to the changed circumstances. D. The research is carried out to find out how dogs are influenced by light. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 54．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage? A. Dogs---Our Loyal Companions Understand Us Most. B. Dogs Are Our Best Friends. C. Dogs Can Understand Us In a Way, Researchers Say. D. Dogs Have Certain Qualities and Emotions of Human Beings, Researchers Say. 55. Where can we probably read this kind of articles? A. Textbooks. B. Advertisements. C. Instructions. D. Magazines. 56．This passage can be classified as . A. an argumentative writing B. a feature story C. a dog show review D. a research result 【参考答案】53—56 CCDD 社会生活类。 On the last Sunday in July, 1997 my boyfriend and I decided to take my 4-year-old son to the beach for the day in Corpus Christi and to the aquarium (水族馆) there.

There are a number of approaches to help us with problem-solving in business and in other walks of life. Using one or more of these techniques can help us do so efficiently. But some problem- solving techniques are complex and require a lot of learning before we can use them well. Here is one of the simplest approaches, a five-stage process that often leads to success. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 The first stage is to define the problem in detail. Part of the definition ought to be the reason the problem arose in the first place. Once we are satisfied that the problem is well defined we are ready to look for a solution. The second stage is the search for alternative courses of action that will solve the problem. Here we try to find multiple potential solutions to the problem. This step may involve doing some researches or asking others what they think. Look for analogies or how similar problems have been solved in the past. The important thing is to come up with alternative solutions—at least two or three. The third stage is to study each alternative solution and to identify the relative advantages and disadvantages of each course of action. One alternative might be quicker but cost more than the other solutions. Another might be less expensive but require a lot more time and energy. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative is critical to choosing the best solution. The fourth stage of this process is to select and carry out the best solution. Criteria (标准) for choosing may include a rough cost-benefit analysis or simply your comfort level after carefully considering your alternatives. The fifth and final stage is monitoring the outcome of your chosen solution. Did it work? Did you achieve success? If yes, that is great! If not, it’s back to the first stage. 1. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How to Solve Problems Efficiently B. What to Do With Your Problems C. Five Steps for Your Problems D. Problems Filling Work and Life 2. If the problem-solving technique is very complicated, . 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 9 A. you should use it for your problem B. you’d better consult with experts C. you should make a study about it first D. you must give it up at the beginning 3. The underlined word “analogies” in the text means . A. resemblances B. defences C. differences D. changes 4. The main idea of the third stage is . A. to use an alternative solution efficiently B. to find a cheaper problem-solving technique C. to weigh the pros and cons D. to choose the quickest solution 5. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text? A. You should note the outcome of your chosen solution. B. You may put the method into use at last. C. The less expensive solution is the first choice. D. The reason for the problem is the key. 【参考答案】25.
