    In urban China，where English is almost the official second language，many Chinese people have learned to speak as professionally as native speakers. However they may have an accent and make a few minor grammatical mistakes.Years ago many people used a certain Chinese-English dictionary or a series of textbooks and accepted their teachings. Consequently，language learners developed a peculiar vocabulary. Some people call these word choices “Chinglish”. The words are not incorrect—native speakers still understand them—but they stand in the way of using standard English. Here are some common examples, both from written and spoken English:
    Clever (adj.): Native speakers usually say “smart” instead. “Smart” is a broader and more common word. “Clever” suggests an ability to think your way out of a specific problem or take advantage of a specific situation. Being smart serves you for life.
    Examination(n.): Use “exam”, the short form of it, or the more common word, “test”. (The verb for all three words is “take”.) Another word you may hear is “quiz”. It means a short and relatively unimportant test that the teacher often gives as a surprise.
    Film: This is largely a technical word. The common term is “movie”. (Native speakers often say “short film for the movie”.)
    House (n.): a stand-alone building with its own street entrance that is home to one family. A home in a building full of families is an “apartment” or a “flat”. When in doubt, just say “home”.
    Puzzled (adj.): We use this word to describe mild reactions to difficult math problems, and not even very often for this purpose (we say “I’m stumped” or “I have no idea” instead). But when we’re addressing a life issue such as whether to pursue (从事) a graduate education or go straight to work, we say “confused”. This is a stronger word as well as a more common one.
    49. The writer wrote this passage to______.
    A. prove there are so many Chinese people learning English in a wrong way
    B. teach us to choose correct and exact English words to express ourselves
    C. tell people that if we want to speak English as well as native speakers we must memorize as many English words as possible
    D. explain what Chinglish is
    50. According to the passage, which of the following is more common?
    A. Would you like to go to the film tonight?
    B. He will take an examination next week.
    C. Tom is cleverer than his brother.
    D. He felt confused whether he would go abroad for further study.
    51. This passage suggests that______.  
    A. native speakers say “I’m puzzled with this math problem.” more often used than they say “I’m stumped with the math problem.”
    B. the word “home” is much often used than the word “house” in spoken and written English
    C. the word “examination” is more common than its short form“exam”
    D. we can say “do a quiz”
    52. We can infer from the passage that______.  
    A. native speakers can understand “Chinglish”
    B. saying “take a test” is more common
    C. to English learners, developing more English vocabulary doesn’t mean speaking good English
    D. it’s easy to learn English words well

             Social rules or laws on marriage vary widely between countries．Some countries, still do not have a legal minimum age for marriage, which makes child macriages are very common, there．
    In the Western Christian countries, a 13 -year -old is still considered a child．Even getting married in one* s late teens is not usually encouraged because married life is likely to interfere with a young woman' s education and consequently restrict opportunities in later life．And there are also physical dangers in giving birth so young．  
    In Muslim countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan, the age of puberty（青春期）at around 13 or 14 is the legal age for marriage, but in Turkey it is 15, and in Egypt and Tunisia, 18 the same minimum age as in many Western countries．It is argued that by allowing, earlier marriages, Islamic law is promoting stable relationships, while Western laws are encouraging promiscuity among young people．
    In many countries, the trends of urbanization and education for girls have seen a drop in the number of child brides．However, early marriages continue to occur in poor rural areas．In India, for example, the legal age of marriage for a girl is 18 and to a boy, 21．Yet, according to government statistics, 18 percent of ten to fourteen-year old girls in the poor, rural state of Rajasthan in the northwest of the country are married．It is clear, then, that child marriages are connected with poverty, lack of education, rural customs as well as religion．So there don't tend to be any child marriages in urban or rich areas．
    57．The underlined word "promiscuity" in the third paragraph means ____．
    A．permanent partnership                  B．firm partnership
    C．diverse relationship                     D．single relationship

    D
    COPENHAGEN—The world is gathered in Copenhagen for the U.N. climate summit, but Denmark’s bicycle-friendly capital has also given its name to a movement of cities trying to find a kinder way to travel to and from work.
    Nearly 40 percent of Copenhagen’s population cycle to work or school on ubiquitous（无处不在的） paved cycle paths. Many residents take to their bikes year-round, braving rain and snow through the winter in a city where the bicycles outnumber the people.
    Amsterdam and Beijing too are known for their bicycles, but the Danish capital is where urban planners from around the world have been looking for ways to get their people out of cars and up onto bikes, an effort known as Copenhagenisation.
    Klaus Bondam, Copenhagen’s technical and environmental chief, calls himself a “mega cyclist” and says the bike’s popularity stems partly from high taxes on cars which meant working-class Danes could not afford to drive in the 1930s and 1940s. “Today you’ll meet everybody on the bicycle lanes — women and men, rich and poor, old and young.” Bondam said.
    The local government has during the last three years invested more than 250 million crowns ($49.42 million) in bicycle lanes and to make the traffic safer for bicyclists. Today around a third of the population drive cars to work or study, another third take public transport, while 37 percent cycle -- a figure the city aims to increase to 50 percent by 2015.
    There are many benefits when citizens choose bicycles over cars: pollution and noise decline, public health improves, and more people on bikes or walking creates a sense of safety in the city. Fewer parked cars leaves more space for playgrounds, parks, shopping areas and other useful public places.
    53. According to the first paragraph, Copenhagen is better known as ___________.
    A. a city without cars                B. a bicycle-friendly city
    C. Denmark’s capital                D. the U.N. climate summit
    54. We can learn from the second and the third paragraph, __________.
    A. there is no path for cars during rainy and snowy days
    B. citizens are limited to have only one bike for each person
    C. two-thirds of people in Copenhagen cycle to work or school
    D. city planners try their best to encourage more citizens to ride bikes
    55. Bikes are popular in Copenhagen partly because ___________.
    A. the citizens are unable to afford to buy a car
    B. the rich tend to keep fit by cycling to work
    C. young people regard cycling a fashion to follow
    D. high taxes were paid for cars in the 1930s and 1940s
    56. We can learn from the passage that __________.
    A. cars are forbidden to park in Copenhagen
    B. more citizens tend to choose cars in Copenhagen
    C. Copenhagen becomes a model for cities’ traffic
    D. living standards in Copenhagen are greatly declining

    (C)
    One thing the tour books don’t tell you about London is that 2000 of its residents are foxes. They ran away from the city about two centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in . But now that the environment is clear the foxes have come home. “The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing” says Comer Jones. A survey of the wildlife in New York’s Central Park last year counted 14 species of mammals. A similar survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five species. Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. Foremost is that air and water quality in many cities has improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile , rural areas have been built up, leaving many animals on the edges of suburbs. In addition, urban wildlife refuges have been created. The Greater London Council last year spent￡750,000 buying land and building 10 permanent wildlife refuges in the city. As a result many birds are now living in the city. For peregrine falcons cities are actually safer than rural cliff dwellings (栖息地). By 1970 the birds had died out east of the Mississippi because of the DDT, which had made their eggs too thin to support life . That year, scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities which afforded plenty of food. Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful. The trick is to create habitats where they can be self-sufficient but still be seen and appreciated . Such habitats can even be functional. In San Francisco, the local government is testing different kinks of rainwater control basins to see not only which ones retain the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.
    72．The passage is mainly concerned with___________.
    A．wildlife returning to large cities     B．foxes returning to London
    C．wild animals living in zoos            D．a survey of wildlife in New York
    73.It can be inferred from the passage that__________      
    A．Londoners are putting more and more wild animals into their zoos
    B．Londoners are happy to see wild animals return to their city
    C．Londoners are trying to move wild animals back to the countryside
    D．Londoners have welcomed the wild birds, but found foxes a problem
    74．According to the passage, the number of species of wildlife in New York’s Central Park______
    A．is slowly decreasing               B．competes favorably with other cities
    C．is on the same level as before  D．has more than doubled in the last century
    75．Which of the following is NOT a reason that wildlife returning to the cities?
    A．Food is plentiful in the cities
    B．Wildlife is appreciated in the cities
    C．Wildlife refuges have been built in the cities
    D．Air and water quality has improved in the cities

    In recent weeks , small groups of young people appeared on downtown sidewalks in Changsha, Beijing and other cities , holding signs with the words "free hugs ,and offered embraces to any passer-by who would care for one. "
    Calling themselves " the hug league" ,they said they were inspired an international news story of a similar type and intended to promote human contact in the face of growing alienation(疏远）in urban china.
    We Chinese ,contrary to what is shown in our love movies and television shows , rarely run into each other's arms and cry our hearts out .We are raised in a culture of emotional restraint(克制）。We mark our meetings and departures with a wave of hand and  a handshake of light touch . Not so long ago , even young lovers hugging in public places were considered rude.
    But that doesn't mean we are immune(免疫的）to the wonderful feeling of human tactility(触感）。I remember my mother was visibly moved when I hold her hand for the first time while walking her across a busy street in the U.S. The circumstance made it more natural .But cultures don't evolve overnight ."It's hard to get rid of the old belief that man and woman shouldn't have any physical contact ,"some explained .In the late 1970s some feared that social dance would lead to sexual (侵扰）.But the awkwardness was overcome as more and more people came to accept dancing with partners who were not their spouses (配偶）as a perfectly normal form of recreation.
    In this environment of changing social customs manners , how people act could be the working many factors ,including their personality.Some offer bear hugs to everyone they know while others would shiver at the thought of medical personnel touching them with a stethoscope(听诊器）。The line between proper and improper often shifts(移动）with the sands of circumstances.
    Offering hugs to strangers on the street is too radical(激进的）a step to have any meaningful impact on our customs.If anything , the huggers should start with their loved ones.
    72.The writer think that __________
    A free hug is not acceptable at present
    B free hug is a proper custom in china
    C offering hugs to strangers is nothing new in China
    D man and woman should not have any physical contact
    73.According to the passage , free hug_________
    A was invented by some Chinese youths
    B was introduced from other countries
    C was intended to find lovers among the strangers
    D was beneficial to a person's emotional health
    74.The words "contrary to " in Paragraph 3 mean"_______"
    A opposite to    B different from    C similar to     D the same as
    75.The writer give the example of the social dance to ______
    A prove that we are immune to the feeling of human touch
    B indicate that the society is always changing
    C show that many western customs are being accepted
    D show that cultures don't evolve overnight
