Complete the following passage with the words or phrases in the box. Each can only be used once (将下列单词或词组填入空格。每空格限填一词，每词只能填一次) (共8分)
Language is always changing and developing. This isn’t a bad thing. If English hasn’t changed for a long time, we won’t have words to 1. telephones, washing machines, computers or some other new things. Language changes for 2. reasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change. New technologies, new 3. , and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions _ 4. they have different ages, jobs, education levels and so on.
How does language develop then? On the one hand, many of the language changes begin with young people. When young people_5. others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions. Some have a short lifetime but others have a long life. On 6.__ hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words 7. or putting words together and we make them out of proper names. Languages that don’t change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it is 8. and well.

When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of (感到难为情) my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her Chinese English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her. My mother realized that she was poor at English. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was made to ask for information or even to shout at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker(股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent(青少年的) voice that was not very certain, “This is Mrs. Tan.” My mother was standing beside me saying, “Why he doesn’t send me check, already two weeks late.” And then, in perfect English I said: “I’m getting rather worried. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.” My mother then talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York to tell him in front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t accept any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.” The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English. When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed(令人尴尬) me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped me see things, express ideas, and make sense of the world. 1.Why was the writer’s mother poorly served? A. She was unable to speak good English. B. She was often treated unfairly. C. She was not clearly heard. D. She was not very polite. 2.From Paragraph 2, we know that the writer was ____________. A. good at pretending B. rude to the stockbroker C. ready to help her mother D. not willing to phone for her mother 3. After the writer made the phone call, the writer and her mum___________. A. received the check at once B. still failed to get the check C. went to New York immediately D. spoke to the stockbroker’s boss at once 4.What does the underlined phrase “make sense of” in last paragraph mean? A. confuse B. surprise. C. understand D. refuse. 5.We can know from the passage that Chinese English ___________. A. is clear and natural to native speakers B. is well received by native speakers C. is widely used in America D. may bring inconvenience in America 6.The best title of the passage might be __________. A. Great Mother B. Natural English C. Mother’s Chinese English D. Perfect English

Today, clothes are made in many different colours. They are also made from many different like wool, cotton, linen and silk. Most people own lots of clothes. Each day, they choose what to wear. Clothes Clothes cover our bodies and protect us from the weather. They can also make us feel good about the way we look. Sometimes, our clothes tell other people about us, such as the work we do or what religion(宗教) we are. People have been wearing clothes for many thousands of years, but the clothes people wore long ago were different from the clothes people wear today. Fashion Fashion means the kinds of clothes that are popular at one time. Ancient Romans wore dresses. Some Romans wore togas(宽外袍) to special events. Long ago, women in some countries wore corsets under their dresses. Corsets were pulled in tight and tied at the back, so they weren’t to wear. Women wore corsets to make their waists (腰)look smaller. Fashion . It can be different from place to place. However, most people today wear simple clothes that are easy to put on and care for. Clothes need to be for the climate a person lives in, too. Uniforms People have worn uniforms for thousands of years. Uniforms show the work people do, or what school they go to, or what team or group they belong to. Most uniforms today are suitable. Some uniforms help to protect people from danger. Clothes in the past and the future You can learn more about the clothes people used to wear by looking at old paintings and old photos. What clothes will people wear in the future? What styles will people wear? Maybe people in the future will look back at the clothes in fashion today and think they look strange!

Maybe you have seen this in schools: Some students study nearly all the time but they just pass their exams, while some others may spend much l 1. time on their books but do much better in exams. How could this happen? People used to think that hard work is the only way to success. But now they understand that smart work can make them successful, too. Hard workers don’t m 2. working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions. “Why should I suffer this?” “Isn’t there a better way to do this?” Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. P 3. in every field is the direct result of “try to find a better way” by smart workers. There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusual letter from someone who c 4. that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought. How could empty soapbox go out of the factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases, the packing machines let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a s 5. . He put a large X-ray (X射线) machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapbox. A 6. teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted. “Sir, we could have solved the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way.” a worker said. “Really? How?” “We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes and leave the other o 7. with soap. There would be no need for an X-ray machine, two computers, and operating by workers.” See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only learn from the engineers’ hard work, but also think smart like the workers.

Smog is a big problem in many Chinese cities. But it seems that besides wearing a mask (口罩), few of us know what has caused the smog and what to do to beat it. Chai Jing, former news anchor with Chinese Central Television, discussed the questions in her documentary Under the Dome (穹顶之下). The 103-minute film was released on major Chinese video-sharing websites on Feb 28. In the film, Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists. She concludes that burning too much coal and oil are the main causes of PM2.5 and smog. To make things worse, according to Chai, the coal and oil we are burning is of poor quality and doesn’t meet the standards (标准) for environmental protection. Therefore Chai says more harmful gas and particles (颗粒) have been produced to pollute the air. To solve the problem, Chai suggests that we should clean our coal and oil or replace(代替) them with cleaner energy such as natural gas. In her film, Chai also suggested that we should do something to help control smog too. For example, she says we can live a greener life by using more public transportation. Or if we see things that harm the environment, we will try to stop it. In one scene from the film, Chai saw a dirt mound in a building site exposed in the air, she asked the person in charge to cover it. When she saw a restaurant cooking without any suitable filter facilities (过滤设备), she called the hotline 12369. The restaurant installed the filter a week later. Chen Jining, the new minister of environmental protection, praised Chai. “This film encourages ordinary people to care for the environment. This is what we need in the future.” 1.Many people in China know the causes of smog, don’t they? 2.How long does the film Under the Dome last ? 3.What are the main causes of PM2.5 and smog? 4.Why does Chai say more harmful gas and particles have been produced to pollute the air ? 5.What energy can replace coal and oil to reduce air pollution? 6.What do you think of Chai’s film? How should we control smog as an ordinary person? (at least two suggestions)
