阅读理解。     Cyber language is popular among Chinese netizens, who create English words to reflect novel
phenomenon in society.
     "Geilivable", combining pinyin of Chinese characters Geili (giving strength) with the English suffix
for adjectives, literally means "giving power" or "cool". Similarly, "hengeilivable" means "very cool",
and "ungeilivable" means "dull, not cool at all". "Antizen" refers to the group of college graduates who,
earning a small salary and living in small rented apartments, are like the tiny and laborious ants.
     David Tool, a professor with the Beijing International Studies University said it"s very interesting to
combine Chinese with English to create new words. "English is no longer mysterious to the Chinese
people. They can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences," he said. Chinese
words and expressions were created, as well, by netizens. One example was "Suan Ni Hen". This three-
character expression, which originally meant "you win" with the first character carrying the same
pronunciation as garlic in Chinese, is used to satirize (讽刺) high garlic and food prices this winter.
     Chinese people use the character "bei" before a verb to show a passive voice, and it is used by netizens
to show the helplessness in front of false conclusions and fake media reports. For instance, "zisha" means
"suicide" while "beizisha" means "be officially presumed to have committed suicide", and "xiaokang" means
"fairly comfortable life" while "beixiaokang" means "be said to be living a fairly comfortable life".
     Wu Zhongmin, a professor at the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of
China, saw the phenomenon of word creation as a natural response of young people to social issues. "Cyber
language is more vivid and it shortens people"s distances," he said. 1. The passage mainly tells us that _____. A. cyber language is popular among all people
B. cyber language is of great fun

D. Beixiaokang means "be said" to be living a comfortable life. 3. What can we infer from the phenomenon of word creation? A. It"s getting more difficult to understand cyber language.
B. Young people are more likely to respond to nature.
C. Social phenomena are more easily reflected in cyber language.

阅读理解。     The Mother Goose stories, so well known to children all over the world, are commonly said to have been
written by a little old woman for her grandchildren. According to some people, she lived in Boston, and her
real name was Elizabeth Vergoose. Her son-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have
published the famous nursery stories and rhymes (押韵诗) in 1719. However, no copy of this book has ever
been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of this story-and doubt, moreover, that Mother Goose was ever
a real person. They point out that the name is a direct translation of the French "Mere L"oye". In 1697 the
Frenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name was used. The collection contains
eight tales, including"Sleeping Beauty", "Cinderella", and "Puss in Boots". But Perrault did not originally make
up these stories; they were already quite popular in his day, and he only collected them.
     In 1729 there appeared an English translation of Perrault"s collection, Robert Samber"s Histories or Tales
of Past Times, Told by Mother Goose (London, 1729), which introduced "Sleeping Beauty", "Little Red Riding-
hood", "Puss in Boots", "Cinderella" and other Perrault"s tales to English-speaking audiences. These were fairy
tales(童话). John Newbery published a book of English rhymes, Mother Goose"s Melody, or, Sonnets for the
Cradle (London, undated, 1765), which switched the focus from fairy tales to nursery rhymes, and in English
this was until recently the primary meaning for Mother Goose. A book of poems for children entitled Mother
Goose"s Melody was published in England in 1781, and the name"Mother Goose" has been associated with
children"s poetry ever since. 1. What was thought to have happened in 1719?A. Thomas Fleet published the Mother Goose stories.
B. The Mother Goose stories were translated into French.
C. Charles Perrault published the first Mother Goose stories.
D. Elizabeth Vergoose collected the first Mother Goose stories. 2. The author of the Mother Goose stories is _____. A. Elizabeth Vergoose
B. Thomas Fleet
C. Charles Perrault
D. still uncertain 3. Which of the following is the correct order to describe the event according to the passage?
a. Charles Perrault published his book containing eight popular tales.
b. John Newbery switched the focus from fairy tales to nursery rhymes.
c. The book introducing"Cinderella" to English speakers came out.
d. A book of poems Mother Goose"s Melody was published in England.A. c-b-a-d
B. c-a-d-b
C. a-c-b-d
D. a-d-c-b 5. Today when people talk about Mother Goose, they refer to _____. A. the French "Mere L"oye"

阅读理解。     I remembered little of the journey which started so early in the morning. I only knew that the day seemed
extremely long, and that we appeared to travel over hundreds of miles. Calmed by the sound of the carriage
wheels, I fell asleep. But I had not slept long when the carriage stopped, the door was opened, and I saw a
servant standing there.
     "Is there a little girl called Jane Eyre here?" she asked. I answered "Yes," and was then lifted out. I looked
about me. I could see a house with many windows. There were lights burning in some of them. We went up
a wide path, and were admitted at a door. Then the servant led me through a passage into a room where she
left me I stood and warmed my frozen fingers at the fire and looked around. There was no candle, but the
light for the fire showed wails, a carpet, curtains and furniture. Then the door opened, and a tall lady entered
followed by another who looked younger. "The child is very young to be sent alone," said she, putting her
candle down on the table.
     Led by the younger lady, Miss Miller, through passage after passage, we came, at last to a long, wide room
filled with many voices. There were many tables, and seated all round on benches were a large number of girls
aged from nine to twenty. Seen in the dim (微弱的) light of the candles, their number appeared above eighty.
Each was dressed in a brown old fashioned dress of cheap material. It was their hour of study.
     Miss Miller signed to me to sit on a bench near the door, then walking up to the top of the long room she
cried out "Monitors, collect the lesson-books and put them away!"
     Four tall girls arose and went round, gathered the books and removed them. Miss Miller again ordered,
"Monitors, fetch the supper-trays (托盘)!" Then tall girls went out and returned soon, each carrying a big tray.
Food and water was in the middle of each tray. The food was handed round and everyone drank from the
same mug. When it came to my turn, I drank too, for I was thirsty, but I did not touch the food. From there

阅读理解。     Some of my earliest childhood memories are of the beach-in the hot sun, building sandcastles, burying Dad
in the sand.
     Now the coast has a strangely-pleasant and relaxing attraction. I look forward to a windy clifftop (崖顶)
walk or a rainy day rockpicking just as much as those rare moments when I get to a short sleep in the sun. But
there"s nothing more pleasurable than turning up at a beach to find it deserted.
     These are my favorite secret beaches-ones either not well known or take a bit of effort to get to. Most of
those listed scored highly in the Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide 2009; the others are too secret
even for them.
     Sennen Cove is just a mile northeast of Land"s End, the westernmost point of mainland England. It"s a
beautiful spot, with white sands, deep green sea and amazing sunsets over the Isles (群岛) of Scilly, 28 miles
away.
     The west-facing beach is popular with surfers, with bigger waves and winds often found at the Gwenver
end. There"s a beach restaurant with good views of the bay and the sunsets.
     The smallest of Isles of Soilly, Bryher is a mile long, half a mile wide-and a natural wilderness of unbelievable
scenery. Walk along the narrow sandy roads to the eastern seaboard and you come to two quiet beaches.
     Green Bay has views over to the palm (棕榈]) trees of Tresco"s Abbey Gardens, and a little further south is
Rushy Bay, a beautiful beach facing the deserted island of Samson.
     On Bryher, farm shops sell locally grown produce, and they trust you to leave the money in the pot. It"s that
kind of place. 1. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. The author is a tourist guide in a tourist agency.
B. The author likes walking on a windy clifftop most.
C. The author wrote the article to advertise for the beaches.

B. Samson is an island on which no man lives
C. Rushy Bay has views over to the palm trees
