26、“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.

Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too thrilled to believe her. Her words could not convince me at all. So I did a research on google.com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see.” This sentence has been widely used in emails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible places. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Ironically, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.

Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies.

Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew. All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together, and they change the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic(少数民族的成员) group in the United States, is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew.

You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese, such as pizza from Italian, susi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others. They will modify it and make it their own, so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant, or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store. Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor.

【1】The writer himself felt surprised at ______.

A. the Chinglish expression “Long time no see”

B. “Long time no see” used as standard American English

C. so many literal translation of the expressions used in America

D. finding out Americans use the expression every day

【2】The word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means ______.

A. mixed culture

B. Confucius’ words

C. a kind of cooked dish

D. American changing literature

【3】According to the passage, it can be inferred that ______.

A. detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see”

B. Hollywood made “Long time no see” popular

C. the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languages

D. cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew

【4】The main idea of the passage is that ______.

A. some Chinese expressions are introduced into English

B. you’ll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in America

C. some American expressions can be used in China

D. American English keep being enriched from different cultures

【5】According to the passage, which of the following statements is not true?

A. Informal language sometimes doesn’t go with grammar and structure.

B. Languages are always ruled by grammar and structure.

C. “Long time no see” has been used in at least four media mentioned in the passage.

D. There are four languages mentioned to be adopted in the American stew.

27、“After you finish your homework.” You have probably heard your mum or dad say these words. It might seem like all the good stuff has to wait until your homework is done. There’s a good reason why adults make a big deal out of homework. 【1】 And getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life that you want. So homework is important, but how can you get it done? 【2】 Writing on top of potato chip crumbs while talking on the phone is not going to help you finish your history lesson. Turn off the TV and other distractions. You’ll be better able to concentrate, which usually means you’ll finish your work more quickly and it’s more likely to be correct.

Set aside enough time to finish your work without rushing. You can’t just squeeze your science assignment into the commercials during your favourite TV show. 【3】 But if you find that you’re struggling even after putting in the time, you’ll want to ask for help.

Aside from just not understanding the lesson or assignment, kids might need homework help for other reasons. Some kids are out sick for a long time and miss a lot of work. 【4】

Personal problems can cause trouble with your work, too. Some kids may be dealing with stuff outside of school that can make homework harder, like problems with friends or things going on at home.

A．Homework helps you learn.

B．Some kids don’t like to do their homework.

C．Really learning something takes time.

D．First, you need a quiet place without clutter and confusion.

E．Others get so busy that they don’t spend enough time on homework.

F．Ask your friends or teacher to help you when you have problems.

28、As a work-from-home mother of three, I’ve spent my life avoiding uncomfortable situations. One fall morning, I was on a routine walk with a friend, when I mentioned that I felt trapped by my commitment to familiarity but didn’t know how to be brave and branch out.

“Starting today, do something small every day that terrifies you,” she suggested. Knowing that something in my life needed to shift, I gave myself perm ii on to explore new and frightening chances.

My profession as a heath coach centered on work with individual clients in my home office. When asked to do a presentation on healthy eating for the school board, I recognized that as a signal not to shy away from growth, learning and overcoming my limitations. My wise friend’s advice became my life guideline. I felt confident and capable for the first time in my life.

This newfound bravery was challenged one day when my husband presented me with the possibility of working in Turkey. For years, he’d dreamed of moving our family overseas to pursue a different career. Held back by fear, never before would I have considered taking this giant leap of faith. But I was capable of anything.

I knew the moment I said it that we’d move to Turkey. Every day leading up to the arriving trucks was filled with opportunities to practice hugging fear. Six months later, we unpacked our bags in our small city apartment and showed our children the view from their new bedroom window. One year into our life abroad, in a country where I don’t speak the language, I get to try and fail, feel fear and be brave every day.

Accepting and seeking opportunities that scare me has taught me that, regardless of the comfort of my surroundings, I’ll be okay. Without fear, I’d still be at my regular drive-through asking for the sandwich instead of sitting in a café telling the waiter to “surprise me”.

【1】What was the cause of the fear the author felt?

A．She lived a hard and unpredictable life.

B．Her days were packed with small worries.

C．Everything was familiar and safe for her.

D．She suffered when pursuing her career.

【2】What had the author’s husband dreamed of doing?

A．Starting a different career abroad.

B．Helping the author out of her fear.

C．Having his children study abroad.

D．Doing remote work as a health coach.

【3】How did the author react to her husband’s suggestion?

A．She turned to her friend for some advice.

B．She felt capable of living alone at home.

C．She refused the offer for fear of a change.

D．She took it as a way of self-improvement.

【4】What lesson does the author draw from her experience?

A．Comfort zone is a block to one’s progress.

B．It’s beneficial to step into the world of fear.

C．It takes great skills to overcome one’s fear.

D．Knowing the language is a must living abroad.

29、Can a computer think? That depends on what you mean by “think”. If solving a math problem is “thinking”, then a computer can “think” and do so much faster than a man. Of course, most mathematical problems can be solved by repeating certain process over and over again. Even the simple computers of today can do that. It is frequently said that computers solve problems only because they are“programmed” to do so. They can only do what men have them do. One must remember that human beings also can only do what they are “programmed” to do. Our genes “program” us the moment the fertilized ovum(受精卵) is formed, and our possible abilities are limited by that “program”. Our “program” is so much more enormously complex, though, that we might like to define “thinking” in terms of the creativity that goes into writing a great symphony or in developing a brilliant scientific theory. In that sense, computers certainly can’t think and neither can most humans.

Surely, though, if a computer can be made complex enough, it can be as creative as we. If it could be made as complex as a human brain, it could be equal to a human brain and do whatever a human brain can do. To suppose anything else is to suppose that there is more to the human brain than the matter that composes it. The brain is made up of cells in a certain arrangement. If anything else is there, no signs of it have ever been discovered. To duplicate (复制) the material complexity of the brain is therefore to duplicate everything about it.

But how long will it take to build a computer complex enough to duplicate the human brain? Perhaps not as long as some think. Long before we approach a computer as complex as our brain, we will perhaps build a computer that is at least complex enough to design another computer more complex than itself. This more complex computer could design one still more complex and so on and so on. In other words, once we pass a certain critical point, the computers take over and there is a “complexity explosion”. In a very short time thereafter, computers may exist that not only duplicate the human brain but go far beyond it.

【1】In what sense does the writer think that humans are programmed?

A. Their characteristics, powers, etc. are fixed before birth.

B. He thinks a man’s abilities are not limited, as a computer’s are.

C. In the sense that humans will always be better than computers.

D. Computers must be operated by men, but man can operate by himself.

【2】What does the writer mean by saying that the average human being is unable to ‘think’?

A. It is not true. All humans can ‘think’ in all sense.

B. Human beings fail to think as fast as a computer.

C. Most people don’t have great creative ability.

D. Something has been wrong with his genetic program.

【3】What is the ‘critical point’ mentioned in the last paragraph?

A. The point at which a computer is an exact copy of a human brain.

B. When one computer is itself clever enough to design a better one.

C. When a computer can be made as creative as we are.

D. When the computers destroy each other in an explosion.

【4】The word ‘explosion’ mentioned in the last paragraph means ________.

A. great damage   B. a terrific noise

C. excitement   D. big leaps forward

30、   Earlier last year, as I was turning pages in a library book, I came upon a photograph of my high-school music teacher, Graham Jackson.

It was in the 1970s at Drexel Catholic High School in Atlanta. As a successful musician who had been_________to play for several Presidents, Jackson was well off and didn’t need to work, but he loved_________.When Jackson announced he wanted us to join the chorus, I_________the chance. For the first time ever, I’d learn from a man whose skin was as_________as my own.

Jackson was in his 60s then, but he did have _______! He rushed into the room like a train that had lost its brakes. Jackson made all of us believe we could sing. In fact,_________in ourselves was one of the most important things he taught. “Just come to class with your ordinary voice, and I’ll show you how to do the rest”. He would run around the room,_________each of us to be sure we were singing the right note.

Jackson never talked about playing for Presidents. He_________spoke of his accomplishments or about his hurts. In those days of the civil-rights movement, whose heroes inspired some of us to participate in sit-ins and marches, Jackson’s_________as a white man’s musician made him an easy__________. Some thought Jackson’s diamond ring and__________suits were too showy. When he took out a handkerchief to__________away sweat on his forehead, the gesture called to mind the kind of old-fashioned Negro (黑鬼) we teenagers didn’t want to be.

I didn’t know whether Jackson__________too far toward pleasing his white audience, but as an old man now, I know he did what he had to do to survive. And above all, he__________the way for the next generation by providing an example of what we could become if we committed ourselves to excellence. I’m__________now to say that I loved him.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box… Each word can only be used once. Do note that there is one word more than you need.

You are my Solskjaer,

My Ole Solskjaer

You make me happy when skies are grey.

You’ll never know dear.

How much I love you.

Please don’t take my Solskjaer away.

You are my Solskjaer

My only Solskjaer

You make my happy when skies are grey

Coz when it’s pouring you just keep scoring

Please don’t take our Solskjaer away

The above song is 【1】 from Jimmie Davis’ You Are My Sunshine by Manchester United (曼联) fans to express their overwhelming love towards Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (索尔斯克亚), their favourite striker—Babyface Killer. Although the fans never want to bid 【2】 to their beloved Ole, every journey always has an end, no matter how wonderful it is.

Finally, the story of Ole as a United player ended. On 28 August 2007 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 【3】 called time on his united playing career-eleven years and three days after it began with a goalscoring debut.

On the field, the Norwegian became a perfect 【4】 of United’s never-say-die spirit in their most successful decade, often scoring late goals when points or trophies looked to have been lost. But off the field, he finally had to admit one defeat—in his battle with his 【5】 knee injury.

On retiring, ole said, “I would like to thank the manager, the coaching and medical staff and most of all the supporters. The supporters have been fantastic and were a real 【6】 to me when I was out injured. And their tremendous support will always be in my heart. I feel proud to have 【7】 United for 11 years and have some very special memories.”

Ole’s many career 【8】 include his four goals in 12 minutes as a substitute at Nottingham forest in United’s recrod away win (8-1). But surely the most special memory of all would be the Champions League final in 1999 when he best 【9】 his ability to seize the whisker of a chance. His injury-time-toe-poke past Bayern Munich keeper Oliver Kahn (卡恩) completed United’s Treble (三冠王) and 【10】 himself an irreplaceable place in Reds history.
