核心考点
举一反三
"My family has been watching the "Super Girl" singing competition TV program. My little daughter asked
me what "PK" means, but I had no idea," explained the puzzled father.
To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know that
item.
In such Internet games, "PK" is short for "Player Kill", in which two players fight until one ends the life
of the other.
In the case of the "Super Girl" singing competition, "PK" was used to refer to the stage where two singers
have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.
Like this puzzled father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students" composition
using Internet jargon (行话) difficult to understand.
A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write up compositions with colloquial (口语的)
language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargon that she didn"t understand.
" My "GG" came back this summer from college. He told me I"ve grown up to be a "PLMM": I love to "FB"
with him together; he always took me to the "KPM", went one composition."
"GG" means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother ). "PLMM" refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful sister ).
"FB" means "to corrupt". "KPM" is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds.
While some specialists welcome Internet jargon as a new development in language, teachers are worried
that too much use of such language might lead students away from the "right" usages. Parents especially
worry that their children might not do well in language tests because of the use of Internet language.
Such as those mixed feelings are, the conciseness and liveliness of Internet language continues to attract
Internet users for making convenient communications.
If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to ugly-looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog,
referring to ugly-looking male)is, then you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
B. suggest normalizing Internet language
C. draw our attention to Internet language use
D. support teachers and parents.
B. The daughter should understand it.
C. Online game players must know it.
D. "Super Girl" shouldn"t have used it.
B. often have good food or do something expensive
C. encourage someone to behave in a dishonest way
D. often have some sports to become strong
B. contains many interesting expressions
C. is hard to understand by the elders
D. causes trouble to our mother tongue
about dogs that make English language fun and colorful. We love dogs; they are our best friends. When you
first started to learn English, your teacher might teach you a number of phrases about dogs, such as: "you are
a lucky dog," "I"m dog tired," "every dog has its day," or "our team was the underdog but won the first place
at last."
When I first got into high school, my English teacher used the idiom "dog-ear", which interested me very
much. This word can be used as a noun, a verb, and an adjective as well. As a noun, it means a turned-down
(折叠的) corner of a page as a bookmark. As a verb, it means someone makes a bookmark by turning down
the corner of a page in the book. And, as an adjective, the word describes an old book with many broken
pages. Examples: John made a dog-ear (noun) of the page he was reading before closing the book. Jane was
reading a book; when the telephone rang, she dog-eared (verb) the page before answering the phone. In the
old room, the children found some dog-eared (adjective) books left there for more than 30 years.
B. Idioms about history.
C. Idioms about animals.
D. Idioms about dogs.
B. 4.
C. 5.
D. 6.
B.It means someone makes a bookmark by turning down the corner of a page in the book.
C.It means an old book with many broken pages.
D.It means something is short and small ike a dog"s ear.
Olympic torch on Chinese soil. She and seven other non-Chinese winners had been chosen from 262 applicants
from 47 countries in a contest organized by Chinese computer maker Lenovo Group and the official English-
language newspaper, China Daily. When Bowen ran with the Olympic torch, she was not only representing the
United States, but also representing thousands of Chinese orphans (孤儿).
Bowen, a mother of two adopted (收养) Chinese daughters, is director of Half the Sky Foundation, an
organization which was founded in 1998 and aims to enrich the lives of orphaned children in China. In nearly
10 years, Bowen and Half the Sky have touched the lives of over 13,000 children. Half the Sky is now present
in 36 welfare institutions in 28 Chinese cities. About 4,000 children are active in the program, which provides
trained staff, educational tools, medical support and care for orphans.
Bowen hoped that running with the Olympic torch would help draw attention to the children in China. She
was among 19,400 runners who carried the flame along an 85,000-mile, 130-day route across five continents.
Beijing organizers say it was the longest torch relay in Olympic history.
Like Bowen, the seven other non-Chinese winners, including a German engineer and a Venezuelan designer,
live in China. Other countries represented were the Philippines, Colombia, India, Japan and Russia.
According to Olympic organizers, candidates (候选人) were selected based on an online vote, committee
selection, their "love of Chinese culture and history" and devotion to "communicating information of a real
China to their native countries". Each runner carried the torch for 200 meters on Chinese soil.

bridge can be raised to permit river traffic to pass underneath.
Visitors to Tower Bridge can enjoy wonderful views of the River Thames from the bridge towers. There
is also a museum which explains how the bascule bridge operates and discusses its history. Tower Bridge is
often incorrectly referred to as London Bridge. London Bridge, however, is a different bridge that is located
directly upstream from Tower Bridge.
●The British Museum is a "must do" for all visitors to London, England. Treasures from around the world
can be found in Britain"s largest and most popular museum. To top it off, admission to the British Museum is
free of charge.
Due to the enormous size of the museums, visitors should be clear about what they wish to see. One
"must see" is the Rosetta Stone-a key puzzle piece in the recorded history of humankind. The British Museum
is located in the Bloomsbury district of London in London WC1.
●Greenwich Park is a beautiful large park located a few kilometers away from the centre of London.
Attractions in Greenwich include the Cutty Sark, the Gypsy Moth and the Old Royal Observatory. A painted
line at the observatory indicates zero degrees of longitude (经度).
Many visitors to Greenwich enjoy having their photos taken with one leg in the western hemisphere (半球)
and the other in the eastern hemisphere. Greenwich is the place where time was officially tracked -
"Greenwich Mean Time" or "GMT".
Greenwich is located in London SE10.
●The Eurostar high-speed train service provides fast connections between London and Paris and London
and Brussels. The Eurostar trains pass through the 32-mile Channel Tunnel under the English Channel. The
tunnel is also known as the "Euro Tunnel"or "Chunnel". The Channel Tunnel is considered to be one of the
world"s great engineering wonders.
Trains leave form the Waterloo Rail Station which is located in south London.
than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of a lift operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are
uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more
professional than civilian (百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect higher quality from
a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust
than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform.
What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a hairdresser, or a waiter to lose professional identity
(职业身份) than to step out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical good points. They are often more comfortable and more lasting than
civilian clothes.
Primary facts among the argument against uniforms is their lack of variety and the loss of individuality
experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any
particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they are
likely to think, speak, and act similarly on the job at least.
Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial
expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring
professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.
B. think highly of uniforms
C. less prefer wearing civilian clothes
D. respect a elevator operator in uniform
B. shows his social position
C. appears to be more practical
D. looks more fresh and attractive
B. have little freedom
C. lose personal character
D. enjoy greater popularity
B. people enjoy wearing comfortable uniform
C. the cost of the uniform is acceptable to people
D. people wear uniforms to show they should be respected
