【题目】Do you know the word kiasu? If not, then be kiasu and google it. You’ll get more than a million hits and learn that, usually associated (联系) with Singaporeans, it means “to be afraid of losing out”. You’ll come across words such as kiasu parents, kiasu companies and even kiasu apps.
Just 40 years ago, the word first spread among men in the Singapore army. But before long, it had entered everyday Singapore English.
The first formal use of kiasu happened in 1990 in a government document (公文). Since then it has often been seen in Singapore newspapers. It spread to some other countries in southeast Asia, too. In 1992, Malaysia’s New Straits Times wrote of “kiasu parents providing their children with much more materials than necessary”.
Ten years after its first use in print, the word was used worldwide. Since around 2000, kiasu has appeared in British newspapers. The Guardian, in 2001,reported how “this pursuit of material wealth and the strong need to be No.1 has created the Singaporean we hear so much about---the kiasu Singaporean”, and again reported in 2004 that Singaporeans’ value shows how much they feel the need to stay ahead of everyone else and that they have a word for it: kiasu.
The word entered the Urban Dictionary in 2003 and the Oxford English Dictionary in 2007.In the the same year, Singaporean restaurant Kiasu opened in London.
The turning point on kiasu’s road to the mainstream came with its being used in documents and newspapers. Who dared to use kiasu in a government document? Who first used it in a newspaper? It was these people who pushed kiasu into the mainstream.
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to use the word kiasu.B. What the word kiasu means.
C. The history of the word kiasu.D. The importance of the word kiasu.
【2】What marked the wide use of the word kiasu around the world?
A. Its appearance in British papers.B. Its use as the name of a restaurant.
C. Its acceptance by a key document.D. Its description in Singapore newspapers.

【题目】 Have you ever counted the number of digits (数字) in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. That’s because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that?
The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. Each pare has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider you are using. For example,135 is for the China Mobile Communications Corporation ( 中 国 移 动 ) and 188 is for China Unicom ( 中 国 联 通 ). The fourth to the seventh digits tell you which region the number is registered (注册) in. And the last four digits are random (随机的).
The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999.
Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers, according to the Xinhua News Agency. That’s enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.
Plus, mobile phone numbers can be recycled. Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven’t contacted for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.
Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada’s mobile phone numbers are perhaps the world’s shortest: they use seven digits.
【1】Which country has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world?
____________________________does.
【2】What can we know from the first three digits of a phone number?
The first three digits stand for_____________________.
【3】Why does China use 11 digits for phone numbers?

【4】When can a phone number be recycled?
The service provider will ___________________________.
【5】Do Canadians have the world’s shortest mobile phone numbers?

【题目】Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（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）
It was early one hot morning in 2015 when I was gently wheeled across our quiet street in my wheelchair to the taxi stand with my mother. Three weeks earlier, I had hurt my left leg at home. Now I f【1】 had an appointment(预约) for an operation to repair the bad break in hospital.
I was feeling n【2】 as I'd never had surgery(外科手术) before and the thought of it worried me. After waiting for a taxi for more than 90 minutes, we were still standing across the street from our house, trying to ask for a ride. It usually only takes a few minutes, but on this Sunday taxis would pass by us either already filled with p【3】 or unwilling to take us. Perhaps it was because of my wheelchair. My mother was starting to get upset as we were fast running out of t【4】. Our appointment was 10:45 am and it would take up to 40 minutes to get to the hospital. Then a black SUV pulled over and stopped in front of us. The driver, taking a look at us, said, “You two look like you could use a lift!” He told us he’d seen us e【5】 as he was taking his son to a weekend school activity. He was now r【6】 home and saw that we were still there.
With no questions asked this good man welcome us aboard. We arrived at 10:30 ---just in time for my appointment. He r【7】 my money, saying people should help one another. He left with a smile.
To this day we have not crossed paths again with this friendly driver who went out of his way, but his help is kept in our minds. I am very grateful to this kind stranger who has taught me to keep watch for and help others in need.
