Have you ever heard “Tuhao, let’s be friends?” Are you puzzled, wondering 【1】 it means? Then you’re possibly out of date.
Nowadays, the Chinese words “tuhao” and “dama” have become so familiar with many Chinese people that they often play jokes 【2】 each other when chatting about the daily life. For example, if you take out your new 【3】 (fashion) mobile phone, your naughty friends may call you “tuhao”, laughing loudly and happily.
【4】 (amaze), the two wildly popular words have become hot words in English too. Recently, the BBC produced a program to introduce “tuhao”, 【5】 can be considered as “new money (暴發(fā)戶)” in English.
Besides, The Wall Street Journal has also borrowed “dama” from the Chinese pinyin 【6】 (describe) bargain-hunting middle-aged Chinese women 【7】 (call) “a force in the global gold market”. 【8】 (expert) say the Chinese language’s influence on English will continue during 【9】 entire 21st century, 【10】 it is expected that “tuhao” will be welcomed by the Oxford University Press to appear in the new word lists.
【答案】
【1】what
【2】on
【3】fashionable
【4】Amazingly
【5】which
【6】to describe
【7】called
【8】Experts
【9】the
【10】so
【解析】
【1】what; 你很困惑想知道它是什么意思嗎?這里用what連接主語從句,在主語從句中what做主語。
【2】on;考查固定短語, play jokes on sb和..開玩笑。故用on。
【3】fashionable; 此處需要一個形容詞,修飾mobile phone,故填fashionable。
【4】Amazingly;令人驚奇的是,這兩個廣泛使用的詞匯在英語里也成為熱詞。副詞作狀語。
【5】which;考查非限制性定語從句。Which代指前文的tuhao,在從句中作主語。
【6】to describe; 根據(jù)下文可知,此處需要動詞不定式表目的,故填to describe。
【7】called;考查過去分詞作后置定語。Women和call之間是被動關系。被稱為全球黃金市場主力的中國中年婦女。
【8】Experts;此處前無定冠詞,其后動詞為原形,故為復數(shù)。
【9】the;序數(shù)詞前要加the,the entire 21st century,第21世紀。
【10】so;根據(jù)上下文內容可知,此處表因果關系,故填so。

【題目】Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation(誘惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.
Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?
To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines(學科).Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常規(guī)的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.
On the whole, Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attempt to translate his tale into science.
【1】 The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to__________.
A. illustrate where science can be applied
B. demonstrate the value of Brooks’s new book
C. remind the reader of the importance of science
D. explain why many writers use science in their works
【2】According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?
A. Its strong basis. B. Its convincing points.
C. Its clear writing. D. Its memorable characters.
【3】What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?
A. Contradictory. B. Supportive.
C. Cautious. D. Critical.
【4】What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?
A. Problems with the book.
B. Brooks’s life experience.
C. Death of the characters.
D. Brooks’s translation skills.

【題目】Why do people feel so rushed? Part of this is a perception (認知) problem. Generally, people in rich countries have more free time than they used to. This is particularly true in Europe, but even in America free time has been inching up. Women's paid work has risen a lot over this period,but their time in unpaid work,like cooking and cleaning, has fallen even more significantly, thanks in part to dishwashers, washing machines and microwaves, and also to the fact that men shift themselves a little more around the house than they used to.
The problem, then, is less how much time people have than how they see it. Ever since a clock was first used at a workplace to record labor hours in the 18th century, time has been understood in relation to money. Once hours are financially quantified (量化), people worry more about wasting, but tend to save or use them more profitably. When economies grow and incomes rise, everyone's time becomes more valuable. And the more valuable something becomes, the rarer it seems.
Once seeing their time in terms of money, people often________the former to maximize the latter. Workers who are paid by the hour volunteer less of their time and tend to feel more upset when they are not working.
The relationship between time, money and anxiety is something Gary Becker noticed in America's post-war boom years. "If anything, time is used more carefully today than a century ago," he noted in 1965. He found that when people are paid more to work, they tend to work longer hours, because working becomes a more profitable use of time. So the rising value of work time puts pressure on all time. Leisure time starts to seem more stressful, as people are forced to use it wisely or not at all.
【1】Women's time in unpaid work has fallen partly because ______.
A. men's ability to support a family has been improved
B. men's involvement in housework has increased
C. women's leisure time was taken up by heavy housework
D. women become more skilled at household equipment
【2】From the second paragraph, we learn that ______.
A. labor hours were recorded with a clock
B. people haven't realized the value of time
C. more work hours bring in more money
D. The rise of incomes makes time less valuable
【3】The underlined phrasegrow stingy withcan probably be replaced by "______".
A. refuses to delay B. intend to kill
C. try to accumulate D. hesitate to spend
【4】According to Gary Becker, what causes people feel anxious about time?
A. The wrong way of time being spent.
B. People's willingness to work hard.
C. The increasing value of work time.
D. More and more leisure time.

【題目】He is not just a classical music superstar. He is a global superstar. Only 27 years old, the Chinese pianist Lang Lang has become an inspiration to tens of millions around the world.
Among his dazzling long list of titles, Lang considered UNICEF goodwill ambassador the most special one.
"Being a UNICEF goodwill ambassador is the best decision I have made and will definitely be the best experience in my life," Lang said in a recent interview with Xinhua at the UN headquarters in New York. "I love children very much, and playing piano for them is my favorite," Lang said, beaming with delight.
Named this year by Time magazine as one of the 100 World's Most Influential People, the pianist said he hoped music could "bring children happiness and enlighten their life."
Three months after his nomination (提名), Lang went to Tanzania with the UNICEF team to visit children threatened by malaria(瘧疾) and AIDS.
Although the southeastern African country's underdevelopment and harsh living conditions surprised Lang who landed the continent for the first time, he was touched by local children's passion for music.
"Most of the kids had never seen a piano before," Lang said. "When I played Chopin's nocturne or waltz to them, those who were too shy to talk to me suddenly became active and began to share with me about their dreams. How amazing it is!" "Music can bring hopes to the kids and open their mind," he said.
Following his visit to Africa, Lang began to organize fundraising concerts for children. Now it has become his routine to do 15 to 20 fundraising concerts every year.
Except for his efforts on fundraising, Lang also established his own international music foundation last year to assist young talents to play piano.
So far Lang has chosen five children from the United States and Germany, providing them with scholarships and opportunities to perform at world-class music halls, he said.
In December, he will start the selection in China where he would like to "focus more on physically challenged kids, like blind kids."
【1】 The best title of the passage is______.
A. Lang Lang and His Music
B. UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador
C. An Unforgettable Visit to Africa
D. Lang Lang’s Fundraising Concerts
【2】As a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, Lang Lang’s work is mainly to ______.
A. help children who are in great need
B. hold more concerts for children in the world
C. assist young talents from different countries play piano
D. create more beautiful music for the people of the world
【3】Why did Lang Lang go to Africa 3 months after his nomination?
A. To finish his plan of global performance.
B. To experience the local music there
C. To help those children facing serious diseases.
D. To create new music of different styles.

B. Children’s passion for music.
C. Children’s gifts for music.
D. The deadly diseases in Africa.

Though British people sometimes have a little difficult understanding Americans, some experts believe that the two variety are moving closer together. For more than century communications across the Atlantic have developed steady. Since the 1980s, with satellite TV and the internet, it has been possible listen to British and American English on the flick of a switch. This non-stop communication has made that easier for British people and Americans to understand each other. But it has also lead to lots of American words and structures pass into British English, so that some people now believe that British English will be disappear.
