What is language for? Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words---the longer the lists, the better. That’s wrong. Language is for the exchange(交流)of ideas and information. It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can’t speak correctly or fluently(流利地).They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Shaw once wrote,“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, they also make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can’t make another people’s language. So Chinese students should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn’t overdo(做過頭)it. They should put communication(交際)first.

1.Language is used to_______.

A. express oneself

B. practice grammar rules

C. talk with foreigners only

D. learn lists of words

2.Generally , when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he or she_______.

A. never makes mistakes

B. often makes mistakes

C. can’t avoid making mistakes

D. always makes mistakes

3.The underlined sentence“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.”means that“_______”.

A. Foreigners speak correct English

B. Foreigners speak incorrect English

C. Foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules

D. Foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English

4.When we speak a foreign language, we should_______.

A. speak in a Chinese way

B. speak by the rules

C. speak to native speakers

D. not be afraid of making mistakes

In a recent study, participants were asked to drink beer from either a straight-sided glass, or a curved “beer glass”. People took about almost twice as long to finish when drinking alcohol from the straight-sided glass, compared with the curved glass. There was no difference in drinking rates from the glasses when the drink was nonalcoholic.

People may drink their alcohol faster from curved glasses because it is more difficult to accurately judge the halfway point of these glasses, the researchers concluded. As a result, drinkers may be less able to measure how much they have consumed. “People often talk of ‘pacing themselves’ when drinking alcohol as a means of controlling levels of drunkenness, but I think the important point to take from our research is that the ability to pace effectively may be compromised when drinking from certain types of glasses,” said study researcher Angela Attwood of the University of Bristol’s School of Experimental Psychology in the United Kingdom.

In another experiment, participants completed a computer task in which they were shown pictures of two glasses containing varying volumes of liquid, and asked to judge whether each glass was more, or less, than half-full. The researchers found people made greater errors in judging the halfway point of the curved glass.

“The participants who showed the greatest error in these judgments also tended to show the greatest changes in their drinking rates,” the researchers said. “The speed at which people drink alcohol influences their level of intoxication (迷醉), and the number of drinks they consume on an occasion. Therefore, slowing down is likely to have a positive impact for the individual, and also at a population level.”

1.If a man finishes drinking alcohol from a curved glass in 30 minutes, from a same-volumed straight glass, he will spend _____.

A. about 15 minutes B. about 60 minutes

C. about 45 minutes D. about 25 minutes

2.According to the passage, the experiment shows that _____.

A. curved glasses mislead people’s judgment

B. people differ greatly when judging the same glass

C. people do computer tasks poorly after drinking

D. the type of liquid influences people’s thinking

3.What advice do the researchers give drinkers?

A. Use a curved “beer glass”.

B. Drink at a slower pace.

C. Drink with positive people.

D. Try different types of alcohol.

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

A. Shape may influence your drinking

B. Curved glass is out of date

C. Drink less for your health

D. Drinkers favor a different type of glass

An energy watchdog is alarmed about the threat to the environment from the increasing electricity needs of gadgets（小裝置）like MP3 players, mobile phones and flat screen TVs.

In a report today, the Paris-based International Energy Agency says new electronic gadgets will be three times their energy consumption by 2030 to 1,700 terawatt hours（千瓦時(shí)）, which is equal to today's home electricity consumption of the United States and Japan combined.

The world would have to build around 200 new nuclear power plants just to power all the TVs, iPods, PCs and other home electronics expected to be plugged in by 2030,when the global electric bill to power them will rise to $200 billion a year, the agency said.

“Consumer electronics is the fastest growing area and the area with the least amount of policies in place to control energy efficiency, ” said Paul Waide, a senior policy analyst at the agency.

Electronic gadgets already account for about 15 percent of household electric consumption, a share that is rising rapidly as the number of these gadgets multiplies. Last year, the world spent $80 billion on electricity to power all these household electronics, the energy agency said.

“ Most of the increase in consumer electronics will be in developing countries, where economic growth is the fastest and ownership rates of gadgets are the lowest , ”Waide said.

“This will jeopardize efforts to increase energy security and reduce the amount of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.” the agency said. Existing technologies could cut down gadgets’energy consumption by more than 30 percent at no cost or by more than 50 percent at a small cost, the agency estimates, meaning total greenhouse gas emissions（排放） from households’electronic gadgets could be held stable（穩(wěn)定的） at around 500 million tons of CO2 per year.

1. How many terawatt hours did the energy consumption of new electronic gadgets reach?

A. Nearly l, 700. B. Nearly 600.

C. About 200. D. About 60.

2. What is the condition in the area of consumer electronics?

A. There are a lot of rules to control the market.

B. There are few policies to control energy efficiency.

C. There are few choices for the customers.

D. There are lots of regulations to protect consumers' rights.

3. The underlined word “jeopardize” in the last paragraph probably means “________ ”.

A. harm B. inspire

C. strengthen D. encourage

4. We can know from the last paragraph that existing technologies ___________.

A. are able to control gadgets’energy consumption

B. could do nothing about gadgets’ energy consumption

C. could only cut down gadgets’ energy consumption by 30 percent

D. cut down gadgets’energy consumption at great cost

But watching the film as a foreigner I felt I was missing out on something. Not knowing my Cao Cao's from my Zhou Yu's, I was not even sure whom I wanted to win. Certainly after the opening scene, in which Cao Cao is seen watching a game of Cuju, an ancient Chinese variation of football, I knew who had my support. After all, any man who enjoys his football is someone after my own heart. But after Cao Cao resorted to some evil strategies against his enemies in the south, I wasn't so sure he was the man I should be rooting for.
And there is a lot more to Red Cliff 2 than just extravagant battle scenes. The film does not take itself too seriously. Conversations between leaders are littered with one-liners, many of which had the audience in laughter. There is even enough to keep fans of more romantic entertainment happy too. This includes a charming relationship between a southern spy（偵探）and an innocent northern soldier. The characters' interaction provides some genuinely heart-warming moments in the middle of the battle.
Clocking in at（結(jié)束于）around two hours, the film certainly does justice to the history story. When I walked out the cinema, I felt as drained（精疲力竭） as Cao Cao's soldiers must have 1,800 years ago.

  1. 1.

    By expressing “boy oh boy” in the first paragraph, the author seems to show that _______.

    1. A.
      the film characters are like boys who are childish.
    2. B.
      the film provides amazing and surprising scenes for audience.
    3. C.
      the film is suitable for younger boys to watch.
    4. D.
      the film scene is so bloody that boys shouldn’t watch it.
  2. 2.

    When did the author change his attitude toward Cao Cao?

    1. A.
      When he read the history story about Cao Cao.
    2. B.
      When he saw Cao Cao was watching a game of Cuju,
    3. C.
      When he realized that Cao Cao took some bad measures to beat his enemies.
    4. D.
      When he saw the romantic love story of Cao Cao and a southern spy.
  3. 3.

    The following factors of the film are all mentioned in the passage except_______.

    1. A.
      high budget
    2. B.
      leading roles
    3. C.
      actors and actress
    4. D.
      conversations
  4. 4.

    From the passage we can infer that_______.

    1. A.
      the author is a football fan in a foreign country.
    2. B.
      Cuju is the name of an ancient Chinese variation of football.
    3. C.
      the film Red Cliff 2 lasts about two hours.
    4. D.
      the author was very tired after about two hours’ battle.
