Part 2 阅读理解
（一）
Some people say global English is no longer just controlled by British or American English, but is running free and developing uniquely local forms. Can you figure out the following terms?
“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.” This is a way of saying “Keep off the grass.” Or “people mountain, people sea”， which means “very crowded”．
These examples are what we call Chinglish. When it comes to Chinglish, if all you know is “good good study, day day up”， you will be considered “out man”．
Nowadays，more Chinglish words have been created, for example, a Chinese idiom is translated as “smilence”， a combination by the English word smile and silence.
Chinglish usually offers a humorous look at misuses of the English language in Chinese street signs, products，and advertising. They are favoured by some English speaking tourists and visitors. Dominic Swire has been living in Beijing for a couple of years. “I think many Chinese people complain about the Chinglish and badly translated English. But you know, sometimes for us foreigners, it's actually quite charming to see them. I think if the translations of English in China were all perfect, then something would be lost from Chinese culture.”
However, Chinglish will probably become a “cultural relic”（文化遗迹） in the near future. Beijing has made a comprehensive plan to improve foreign language services and correct Chinglish within five years. “It is very ridiculous（可笑的） to see Chinglish on the signs in some scenic spots. And they are a kind of barrier（障碍） for communication between Chinese and people from other countries，'' a Beijinger said.
Some Chinese university experts side with Chinglish. They argue that English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth，and now it's Chinese's turn.
31．What can we call Chinglish？
A．English words which get new Chinese meanings.
B．The Chinese words which are difficult to translate.
C．The words combining English vocabulary and Chinese grammar.
D．The local words preventing foreigners from learning Chinese well.
32．What does “smilence” most probably mean？
A．Saying nothing but to smile.
B．Smiling without being noticed.
C．Laughing at somebody.
D．Knowing little about speech.
33．Who will be called “out man” according to the passage？
A．A person who knows little about Chinglish words.
B．A student who hates learning foreign languages.
C．A tourist who fails to understand local translations.
D．An expert who doesn't support Chinglish at all.
34．What is Swire's attitude to Chinglish？
A．It can show the humour of Chinese.
B．It will attract more foreign tourists.
C．It helps him to learn Chinese well.
D．It seems part of Chinese culture.
35．Chinglish is likely to become a“cultural relic” in Beijing because ________.
A．it has become a unique bridge between Chinese and English
B．Chinglish is a chance to enrich Chinese and English
C．it improves the understanding between Chinese and foreigners
D．Beijing is determined to get rid of Chinglish signs
（二）
Nelson Mandela, once said: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.” Mandela understood our mother language is very personal thing to us.
After all, it’s the language we first hear and the language we first learn to speak. We can communicate in a nuanced(微妙的) way through our mother language, expressing our emotions and moods more fluently. We make friends in our mother language. We fall in love in it. When we die, we know people will mourn for us in our mother language.
For people who speak an ancient tongue as their mother language, their language is their main link with their ancestors. And it is also how they imagine the future. So it’s a serious thing that a language disappears. Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozen people, like Yagan in Chile. Africa and South America are also places where many languages are imperiled.
Why are humans speaking fewer languages than we once did? The answer has to do with globalization(全球化). With greater trade and communication, the planet has become smaller. Some people aren’t prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages.
Through efforts both large and small, they are getting people to speak and read in certain languages, and to pass them on. The United Nations has set Feb 21st as International Mother Language Day to raise awareness of dying languages. This work is very important. As US writer Rita Mac Brown wrote, “Language is the roadmap of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going”.
36．The author uses Nelson Mandela’s words in order to ________.
A．show great respect for Mandela
B．stress the importance of mother language
C．show Mandela’s contribution to language
D．draw our attention to language learning
37．What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The friendship. B．The mother language.
C．The emotion. D．The ancient tongue.
38．What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?
A．The road map of a culture. B．Efforts to save the dying languages.
C．A planet with fewer languages. D．International Mother Language Day.
39．What might be the best title for the text?
A．Our Languages Tell Us More
B．Why Languages are Disappearing
C．The Rise and Fall of a Language
D．International Mother Language Day
（三）
Speaking, writing and reading are necessary to everyday life, where language is the major tool for expression and communication. Studying how people use language — what words they unconsciously choose and combine — can help us better understand ourselves and why we behave the way we do.
Linguists try to decide what is unique and universal about the language we use, how it is learned and the ways it changes over time. They consider language as a cultural, social and psychological phenomenon.
“Understanding why and how languages differ tells us about the range of what is human,” said Dan Jurafsky, chair of the Department of Linguistics at Stanford.
Standford linguists and psychologists study how language is interpreted by people. Even the slightest differences in language use may show the biased beliefs of the speakers, according to research.
For example, a relatively harmless sentence, such as “girls are as good as boys at math,” because of the statement’s grammatical structure, suggests that being good at math is more common or natural for boys than girls, the researchers said. Language can play a big role in how we and others see the world, and linguists work to discover how words and phrases can influence us, unknowingly.
People speak about 7,000 languages worldwide. Although there is a lot in common among languages, each one is unique. Jurafsky said it’s important to study languages besides our own and how they develop over time because it can help linguists understand what lies at the foundation of humans’ unique way of communicating with one another.
Linguists analyze how certain speech patterns influence particular behaviors, including how language can influence people’s buying decisions. Jurafsky said. “Understanding what different groups of people say and why is the first step in determining how we can help bring people together.”
40．How does the author start the text?
A．By giving examples. B．By raising questions.
C．By referring to studies. D．By stating the main points.
41．What does the example mentioned in Paragraph 5 show?
A．Misunderstanding is common in daily life.
B．People should avoid using harmful sentences.
C．Speech patterns can show people’s biased beliefs.
D．Some grammatical structures are difficult to understand.
42．What does Jurafsky suggest in Paragraph 6?
A．Researching languages. B．Learning from linguists.
C．Developing good learning habits. D．Communicating with others frequently.
43．What is the main purpose of the text?
A．To show the power of language. B．To give an introduction to Jurafsky.
C．To teach readers how to learn a language. D．To call on readers to learn more languages.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Overcoming Adversity
On the bus headed to the United States from Mexico, I experienced the saddest and longest ride I ever had. The thoughts of me not seeing my friends and family again were taking over my mind and causing a strong sense of depression. As I headed to a place I didn’t want to call home, minutes felt like hours and the hours felt like days.
“Welcome to the United States,” the driver said at the immigration checkpoint. The Officers repeatedly asked me for my passport, but I didn’t understand a single word coming out of their mouth. After we sorted out all the confusion we were on our way. With 3 hours left, a new thought took over my mind: stupidity. Not being able to understand a new language was the cause of my feeling. This filled me with a burning rage that I had never felt before.
Not understanding the new language I was introduced to was always a problem that I struggled with alone. In school, I felt like the problems were growing rapidly and I was losing control. The transition from being a straight-A student in Mexico to being a straight F student in the United States wasn’t easy and left me wondering if I could ever belong here. I was always known as the weird（怪的）Mexican in the classroom. Making friends was always hard because no one wanted to hang out with the weirdo（怪人）in the class.
I told myself that if I wanted to overcome my problem I had to practice it more. When it came to group assignments, I thought that it was the perfect moment to carry out my plan to hold a conversation with someone else. The moment arrived, I was nervous that it was my time to speak in the group. With a stutter（结巴）, my first words came out of my mouth. “Hey my name is Jesus,” I said with a strong Mexican accent. Everyone in the group burst out laughing and the cause of their joy was my strong Mexican accent. This made me want to crawl up into a little ball and start crying in front of everyone.

Language can play a big role in how we and others see the world, and linguists work to discover how words and phrases can influence us, unknowingly.(研究人员说，例如，一个相对无害的句子，如“女孩和男孩一样擅长数学”，因为该句子的语法结构，表明男孩比女孩更普遍或更自然地擅长数学。语言在我们和他人如何看待世界方面发挥着重要作用，语言学家致力于发现单词和短语如何在不知不觉中影响我们)”可知，第五段提到的例子说明了语言模式可以显示人们的偏见。故选C。

Part 3 读后续写
After a year of hard work and long practices came my first success in reading. “We are going to do popcorn reading,” Mr. Cerda said, with a loud voice. I sat there anxiously, part of me hoped he wouldn’t call me, but part of me wanted to get the reading over with. Suddenly, I found myself reading the famous words of Dr. Seuss, You’re off to great places. Today is your day! Your Mountain is waiting, so… get on your way! When I finished reading, all I heard was silence. My classmates were in shock, and I realized my words were as clear as they can be.
A simple “Hey how are you” could be the icebreaker between people. I was a shy kid and I grew up thinking that I was going to be friendless forever. However, I eventually discovered that making friends and meeting new people was actually pretty easy. Whatever the case may be, my grades and ability to speak improved.
