of the world"s population will be using it. What are we talking about? That global language-English.
The English language started in Britain in the 5th century. It is a mixed language. It was built up when
German, Scandinavian and French invaders settled in England and created a common language for
communication.
Today it is the official language of the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and
Ireland as well as many islands in the Caribbean Many other countries and regions use it for politics and
business, for example, India, Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines. English is also one of the official languages
of Hong Kong.
But global advertising and pop music mean that in most countries, you will see or hear some English.
Thanks to McDonald"s, we all know about "burgers", "fries" and "milkshakes". Songs by Madonna, Britney
Spears and Celine Dion are in English. We can sing along, even if we do not understand what we are singing!
English is a messy (杂乱的) language. Every year, dictionaries include new words that talk about popular
culture, for example, computer-related words such as "blogging", "download" and "chat room". Also included
are words that teenagers use. Who does not know "cool", "OK" or "hello"?
Other languages also influence English. Many English words come from French. Words like "cafe" and
expressions like "c"est la vie" (that is life) are all part of the English language. On the other hand, the French
language includes English words like "le weekend" and "le camping". German words are also part of English.
Words like "kindergarten" come from the German language.
Recently, British people have become interested in "yoga". But the word comes from an ancient Hindu
language in India.

look like giraffes; they look like you and me. Then, why do people call them "giraffes"?
A giraffe, they say, is an animal that sticks its neck out, can see places far away and has a large heart. It
lives a quiet life and moves about in an easy and beautiful way. In the same way, a "giraffe" can be a person
who likes to "stick his or her neck out" for other people, always watches for future happenings, has a warm
heart for people around, and at the same time lives a quiet and beautiful life himself or herself.
"The Giraffe Project" is a 10-year-old group which finds and honors "giraffes" in the US and in the world.
The group wants to teach people to do something to build a better world. The group members believe that a
person shouldn"t draw his or her head back; instead, they tell people to "stick their necks out" and help others.
Claude and Louris, Hankins and Pearson are only a few of the nearly l,000 "giraffes" that the group found
and honored. Claude and Louris were getting old and they left their work with some money that they saved
for future use. One day, however, they saw a homeless man looking for a place to keep warm and they decided
that they should "stick their necks out" and give him some help. Today, they lived in Friends" House, where
they invite twelve homeless people to stay every night.
Police officers Hankins and Pearson work in a large city. They see crimes every day and their work is
sometimes dangerous. They work hard for their money. However, these two men put their savings together
and even borrowed money to start an educational center to teach young people in a poor part of the city.
Hankins and Pearson are certainly "giraffes".
B. Giraffes are the most beautiful animal in the world.
C. "Giraffes" is a beautiful name for those who are ready to help other people.
D. A "giraffe" is someone who can stick his neck out and see the future.
B. which appeared ten years ago
C. of ten-year-old children
D. which takes care of children
B. are not afraid of dangerous work
C. found a home for poor people
D. made money only for other people
B. It helps the homeless and teaches the young people.
C. It tries to find l,000 warm-hearted people in the US.
D. It shows people what their duty is for a better world.
B. what "the Giraffe Project" is
C. why Claude, Louris, Hankins and Pearson are called "giraffes"
D. what we should do for a better world
more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One
hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.
The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King"s baker (师) in Pudding Lane. The baker,
with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from
the bakery (房) into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.
By eight o"clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning
along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St.
Paul"s and the Guildhall among them.
Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor
people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.
The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of
the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.
After the fire, Wren, the architect (建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone.
In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, among them new St. Paul"s.
The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just
of the past.
B. the palace
C. Pudding Lane
D. Thames Street
B. children
C. wife and husband
D. wife and children
B. the birds in the sky were killed by the fire
C. many famous buildings were destroyed
D. the King"s bakery was burned down
B. Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.
C. To show that poor people suffered most.
D. To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.
B. All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed.
C. People managed to get enough water from the river.
D. Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down.
England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where
he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed "the
Garden City", almost certainly the source of Howard"s name for his later building plan of towns. Returning
to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas that were popular at the
time, but creating a unique combination of designs.
The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered
economic and social opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive:
though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression (萧条) and it offered neither
enough work and wages, nor much social life. Howard"s idea was to combine the best of town and country
in a new kind of settlement, the garden city. Howard"s idea was that a group of people should set up a
company, borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside; far enough from existing
cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.
Garden cities would provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connecting industries. They
would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt, also owned by the company, containing not merely
farms but also some industrial institutions. As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach
its planned limit-Howard suggested 32,000 people; then, another would be started a short distance away. Thus,
over time, there would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost without limit; within it, each
garden city would offer a wide rang of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by
a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.
B. Through the combination of different ideas.
C. By taking other people"s advice.
D. By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago.
B. making comments on
C. giving an explanation of
D. giving a description of
B. in the countryside where the land was cheap
C. in the countryside where agriculture was developed
D. near cities where employment opportunities already existed
B. Each one would continue to become larger
C. People would live and work in the same place
D. Each one would contain a certain type of business
B. The Invention of the Garden City
C. A New City in Chicago
D. A Famous Garden City in England
century buildings, white boats and noise of passing trams (有轨电车), you will start to understand why it
is called a city of two colors: white and blue.
The sea is always present in Helsinki. When you take a walk over the great open space of the central
square, you will hear seabirds screaming. When you take the tram, suddenly and unexpectedly, you are
faced with a calm, shining blue sea. You may notice that people in Helsinki do not rush about as in other
cities. Instead, they walk along the roads, politely letting other people by.
A usual way to see Helsinki for the first time is to start out by boat. You will walk by the elderly women
selling fish and vegetables in the market square and find yourself in front of a beautiful park. You may enjoy
a pleasant walk in the park for a few hours and then take the tram. Trams are the perfect way to get around
in Helsinki. Watching the old houses, parks, theatres, churches, shops, restaurants and people in the streets,
you may have a slightly sad film feeling to it.
The pale summer nights are another wonder in the city. Following the waterfront (滨水区) of the city
after sunset, you couldn"t help stopping and listening to the sweet silence, interrupted only by the screaming
seabirds and leaving fishing boats.
However, in some way Helsinki is also the most modern city in northern Europe. You will surely want to
visit the white Glass Palace, the modern art museum, and all those extremely popular cafes and design stores.
B. by bus
C. by tram
D. on foot
Helsinki is _____.
B. both quiet and noisy
C. both historical and modern
D. both old and new
B. a geography textbook
C. a research report
D. a travel magazine
