“Do you want to come with me?” Sally asked her brother. “I’m going to meet some friends at the bike course(賽道,路線)down the block. We’re going to practice for the race next week.”

“No, thanks,” Mark replied. “Sam’s coming over to play basketball.”

Sally rode off on her bike while Mark waited for his friend. Mark was fast,   35   he usually did well in most sports. He didn’t think it would   36   if he practiced the course. It could be hilly or sandy, and Mark knew he would   37   speed along.

The race day finally arrived. “My stomach feels like I ate some butterflies,” Sally told Mark when she saw so many kids around. Then they   38   the other riders at the start line.

“Sally is always nervous,” Mark thought. “Don’t worry.   39   will do fine,” he said. As soon as the starter shouted “Go!”, Mark’s legs pumped up and down like two machines. He moved   40   to the front.

A few minutes later, there wasn’t anyone ahead of him! Mark raced along the course. He rode past some pine trees. Then the path looped(環(huán)繞)around a pond. Mark was surprised that the course was so   41  .

His tired legs felt like they weighed a hundred pounds. All at once, a flash of color caught his eyes. There was a line of bike riders on the course ahead of him! “How could this be?” Mark said to himself. “I must have taken a wrong   42   and made one more loop in the course,” he thought.

Mark pushed his achy muscles(肌肉)harder. He realized his   43   alone wouldn’t be enough this time;   44   the course was just as important. He managed to ride past a couple of bike riders, but he couldn’t   45   the riders who were in the lead.

After the race Mark saw his sister. “Wow, you must have done a good job in the race. What place did you get?” Mark asked.

“Third place!” Sally answered excitedly.

“That’s great! I came in ninth place. But I’ll do better next year because I’ll be     46   enough to practice the course with you,” Mark made a face at his sister and replied.

科目:初中英語 來源: 題型:閱讀理解

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum(論壇) asking what “PK”meant.

“My family has been watching the ‘I Am the Singer’ singing competition TV programme. My little daughter asked me what ‘PK’ meant, but I had no idea,” explained the puzzled father.

To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, “PK” is short for “Player Kill”, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.

In the case of the “I Am the Singer”singing competition, “PK” was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition raking.

Like this father, Chinese teachers at Middle schools have also been finding their students using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write the compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn’t understand.

“My ‘GG’ came back this summer from college. He told me I’ve grown up to be a ‘PLMM’. I loved to ‘FB’ with him together; he always took me to the ‘KPM’,” went one composition.

“GG” means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). “PLMM” is Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). “FB” means Fu Bai (corruption). “KPM” is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald’s.

Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, meaning an ugly looking femal) or a Qing Wa (frog, meaning an ugly looking male ) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!

76.By writing the article, the writer tries to _________.

  A.explain some Internet jargons             B.suggest common Internet jargons

  C.laugh at the Beijing father                D.draw our attention to Internet jargons

77.What does the underlined word Internet jargons mean?

  A.Internet language    B.Internet action     C.Internet behavior    D.Internet fashion

78.What does the writer think about the word “PK”?

  A.Fathers can’t possibly know it.            B.The daughter should understand it.

  C.Online game players may know it.         D. “I Am the Singer” shouldn’t have used it.

79.The example of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons__________.

  A.are used not only online                    B.can be understood very well

  C.are welcomed by all the people              D.cause trouble to our mother tongue

80.What would be the best title for the passage?

  A. A Puzzled Father!                      B.Do You Speak Internet English? 

C.Keep away from Internet English!          D.Kong Long or Qing Wa?
