This summer, the most popular touristy sight in China is Tibet. Why? Because the Qinghai-Tibet Railway was open on July 1.

The Qinghai-Tibet Railway is the first railway between Tibet and other parts of China. It is 1,142 kilometers long and is the world’s highest railroad.

About 960 kilometers of it is over 4,000 meters above the sea level. Many people thought it was impossible to build a railway so high. But the railroad was successfully completed last October.

The railway makes travel cheaper for Tibetans. Most of them don’t have enough money to travel by air.

It will also bring more tourists to Tibet. A recent Xinhua report said that the new railway will bring 3,000 to 4,000 tourists to Lhasa each day. In Shanghai, one travel agency has worked out a 10-day-trip from Shanghai to Lhasa at a price of 3,600 Yuan.

A railway trip to Tibet is more comfortable than driving or flying. Each train has special windows to keep out ultraviolet rays（紫外線） and sandstorms.

Thin air makes you feel sick. To stop this from happening, the train gives oxygen through its air-conditioning system. If you feel sick, you can find oxygen masks near the seats.

【題目】Millions of Chinese have been playing a mobile game called Travel Frog recently. You play as the “mother” of a frog who lives alone and enjoys traveling. You need to prepare food and tools for his trips. The frog will send you postcards while he is away.

The game’s popularity may have something to do with how lonely people are these days, according to the Xinhua News Agency. Many players have said that the lonely frog is just like them. But playing with the frog helps them forget their loneliness for a short time.

Loneliness seems to be a common problem today. According to the Guardian, about 40 percent of American adults say they’re lonely. And in the UK, about one in five people in the country are “always or often lonely”, The Telegraph reported.

This might be why the UK government declared (宣布) the country’s very first “Minister of Loneliness” (孤獨大臣) in January. The minister’s job is to find ways to help UK citizens feel less lonely. The minister’s office will provide more money for activities that connect people together.

This loneliness problem may be partly due to social media. When we see pictures of friends having fun or posting selfies (自拍) without us, we may compare their “perfect” lives with our own and feel inferior (較差的) and lonely.

But we should remember that no one is destined (注定) to be lonely. As UK poet John Donne once wrote, “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent (陸地), a part of the main.”

Tips to get rid of loneliness

Sing your favorite songs.

Connect with a friend.

Do something creative, such as drawing a picture.

Imagine some place you’d like to visit, like a fun gathering or a sporting event.

【1】What do players do while playing Travel Frog?

A. Build houses for their frogs.

B. Prepare food and tools for their frogs’ trips.

C. Choose places for their frogs to travel.

D. Write postcards to their frogs.

【2】To deal with loneliness, the UK government _____.

A. designed the game Travel Frog

B. created the “Minister of Loneliness”

C. holds parties for people to get together

D. stopped people’s use of social media

【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Everyone is connected with others.

B. We should not compare ourselves to others.

C. It’s not fun to feel lonely.

D. No one should live alone.

【題目】Can you understand the following words? “Long time no see.” “Good good study, day day up.” “I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.”

Yes, we call these examples Chinglish, like “people mountain, people sea”

Chinglish usually means English vocabulary with Chinese grammar on street signs or products.

However, many English speaking tourists love them. Tom has been living in Beijing for years. “I think many Chinese people dislike Chinglish. But I love it. It's quite interesting. I think if the translations of English in China are all perfect, something will be lost from Chinese culture.” However, Chinglish will probably become a part of history in future. Beijing has made a plan to correct Chinglish within(在…之內(nèi)) five years. “It is so funny to see Chinglish on the signs. And they are a kind of trouble for communication between the Chinese and foreigners，” a Beijinger said.

However, some people in China like Chinglish. They think that English has “borrowed” a lot from other languages such as German, French and Spanish in the past, and now as Chinese's turn.

【1】What is Chinglish according to the passage?

A. The English words easy to pronounce. B. The Chinese words difficult to translate.

C. The English words with Chinese grammar. D. The Chinese words that foreigners love.

【2】What does “people mountain, people sea” mean most probably?

A. There are many people. B. Humans are powerful.

C. All the people are running. D. Humans respect nature.

【3】What does Tom think about Chinglish?

A. It shows Chinese are popular. B It is hated by all foreign tourists. C. It helps him to learn English well. D. It is also a part of Chinese culture.

【4】The last paragraph but one (倒數(shù)第二段) tells us that Beijing will________.

A. put English words into Chinese B. change English and Chinese

C. help foreigners to learn Chinglish D. correct Chinglish in future

【5】Some people, who love Chinglish, think that it is time for English to borrow something from ________.

A. French B. Chinese C. Spanish D. German
