Beijing has started a battle to get rid of “Chinglish” (Chinese English) The “Language mandarins”of Beijing have decided that Chinglish is a disease for China’s modernizing claim（要求） and must be obliterated before the city hosts the 0lympic Games in 2008．
A road sign on the Avenue of Eternal Peace(Chang’an Street)，for example，advised：“T0 Take Notice of safe；The Slippery are Very Crafty，”a warning that the sidewalk was slippery(滑)．Another sign in a Beijing park reads：“Little grass is smiling slightly，please walk on sidewalk”
Li Honghai，the city official in charge of the battle，Said：“Linguistic perfection(语言美)is becoming increasingly important with the rise in the number of the foreigners flowing into the city．”
However，not everyone shares the disdain(蔑视)of the Beijing government for the mixed language．“The choice of words is pretty mach．One can either choose the
verbs，adverbs，nouns or whatever one likes，”explained one Hongkong linguist on an Internet website．
So many examples exist that several Internet sites have been set up to collect Chinglish phrases．Many come from English instructions on packages such as a candle marked with “Keep this candle out of children” and a model boat—curiously named Posh Sailboat— which means “Please don’t place it in dusty play．”
If the battle against Chinglish is successful，Chinese will also turn their attention to the English—language versions of newspapers，which play an even more important role in teaching right English．
56．The underlined word “obliterated” refers to .
A.removed B．exploited C．translated D．beautified

A．everyone shares the disdain for the mixed language
B．all the people don’t share the disdain for the mixed language
C．Chinglish usually communicates in many cases
D．several Internet sites have been set up to clear the Chinglish phrases
58.We can infer that the English--language versions of newspapers .
A．should be in duty to teach normal English
B．should report the battle above
C．should be paid more attention to
D．should collect more Chinglish phrases
59.Which of the following signs is Chinglish?

| Watch your step Slippery sidewalk |
| Keep off the grass, please |

| Tourists do not enter |
| No smoking，please |

Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialists' advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where it is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.
64. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. You can always get help from the specialists.
B. It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.
C. You should decide what kind of dog you want.
D. Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.
65. What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?
A. The color of the dog. B. The price of the dog.
C. Whether the dog will fit the environment.
D. Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.
66. Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?
A. It must be trained so that it won't bite.
B. It demands more food and space.
C. It needs more love and care.
D. It must be looked after carefully.
67. Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?
A. It's easier to buy a baby dog under three months old.
B. They are less likely to be shy with human beings.
C. They are less likely to run away.
D. It's easier for them to form a relationship with their masters.
D
Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes me £12,” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me £12.”
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office. Madam,” he said politely. “I'll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn't have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”
“Yes,” she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!”
“That's fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can't swim a bit yet. Of course, she's only three...” “I'm
four,” the child said proudly. “I'll be four and a half.”
Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket. Madam,” he said. “But you didn't get one for your daughter, did you?”
"Er, well—"the woman looked at the child. “I mean. . . she hasn't started school yet. She's only
four.”
“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child's return ticket to Jersey costs ... let me
see ... £l3. 50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe £l. 50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine....”
The woman stood up, took the child's hand and left the office.
68. Harry started talking to the little girl ____.
A. because he was in difficulty and did not know what to do
B. because he had a little girl about the same age as this girl
C. because he wanted to be friendly to the little girl who looked so nice
D. when he suddenly realized that he could find a way out from the little girl
69. When Harry said, "The law is the law, but since the fault was mine.... "he meant that ____.
A. they must follow the law, even though the fault was his
B. he had to be strict with the woman because of the law, although he didn't want to
C. the woman had to pay him £l.50 and the railway would pay her for the hotel
D. she should pay £l.50, but since he had made a mistake, she could go without paying
70. The woman left the office without saying anything because ____.
A. she wanted to go home and get money for the child's ticket
B. she was so angry that she didn't want to have anything more to do with the young man
C. she was moved by Harry’s kindness
D. she knew she would have to pay £l.50 if she insisted

Dear editor,
I spend most of my time studying. I hardly talk to my classmates. Sometimes I think I am not so concerned about others, but there are times that I do want to talk. I just don't know what to talk about and how to begin a conversation. 71 . How I wish I had a good friend!
Emma
Dear Emma,
Your problem is like a circle. The harder you study, the less time you have to make friends and the less friendly you look to your classmates. 72 Try to break this sad circle. Perhaps you are afraid of meeting new people, because you are too shy or too serious. You arc not. Everyone has a fun side of his character. 73
It is OK to do this slowly. It takes time to get to know a person and find someone with whom you really get along.
Look at your classmates. Are there any people with whom you feel you have a lot in common?
First, smile at your classmates. Do this as often as you can, until your classmates become used to your smiles and smile in return.
Next, talk to your classmates. Do this between classes or during your lunch break. 74 You may find it easier to start by talking to people when they are alone, instead of in a group.
Perhaps you could ask a classmate about your studies. They are likely to respond (回应) in a very positive way. People like to feel important and useful.
There must be someone else in your class who is also quiet. 75 You should have confidence. Smile first, talk next and slowly you will make friends. Once you have more confidence, yon can make as many friends as you want.
A. Push your shy side away and show your classmates how fun you can be.
B. Make sure that they are not busy.
C. It might be easier to try to talk with him or her.
D. You will not suffer from loneliness if you make friends with others.
E. I feel so lonely.
F. The fewer friends you have, the harder you study to make yourself feel better.

III. 完形填空
36.A最佳【分析】通读全文可知，惟有出席“party”才能有事后的醉酒。
37.B最佳【分析】由句意可知，父亲“担忧”儿子撞路障被罚。
38.D最佳【分析】reach an agreement意为“达成协定”。父亲允许儿子用车，但要以儿子不饮酒为条件。
39.D最佳【分析】由attempted to drive home可推知，尽管儿子“酩酊大醉”，还想开车回家。
40.B最佳【分析】由于撞了路障，他被警察从车里叫出来，站在一队人之间，接受醉酒程度的测试。若选stop，则成为the car stand in a line of people，不合情理。
41.B最佳【分析】由上下文语境可知。
42.C最佳【分析】miss sb. out意为“漏掉了某人”。
43.D最佳【分析】因为A、B、C三项皆不能用现在分词做补足语，只有lrave可以。He was left standing off to the side意为“让他站在一边”。
44.A最佳【分析】而其他人正让警察看看他们是如何能笔直地向前走，以示不醉。
45.B最佳【分析】walk a straight line“走直线”。

47.B最佳【分析】由最后一段中的the four of them可知，他们共四人。除去他们父子两人外，另两人是警察。

49.B最佳【分析】find oneself in someplace意为“自己不知不觉地处于某地”。
50.C最佳【分析】站在警察面前，自然预感到不妙。
51.C最佳【分析】此外questioning出于警察之口，有“询问、审问”之意，所以就有后面的admitted与其照应。
52.C最佳【分析】问他之前是否一直饮酒。
53.A最佳【分析】他也记不得车开哪儿了。选drive照应了前面的“ car”。
54.C最佳【分析】由上文所提示的时间可知：车是晚上开的。
55.C最佳【分析】用排除法可得此选项。文中没有对车的具体描述，故谈不上similar和familiar。而D项damaged是“损坏”之意，开损坏了的车不合情理。把警车开家来，足见其醉的程度。
Dear Mr Zhang,
Recently we have had a discussion about having desk mates of the different
sex..
Some students don’t agree to sit next to someone
different. They think the boys are naughty, noisy and sometimes rude. While the
girls are gentle, kind-hearted and lovely. If boys sit next to girls, it is
hard to get on well with each other.
They also say teenagers cannot control themselves very well. If a boy and a
girl become desk mates, they may become closer and develop feelings for each
other. They would spend a lot of time handling their relationship. That would
be a waste of time.
At the same time, others believe boys and girls should be desk mates. Everyone
has his or her own good points. Boys are usually good at science, while girls
often do well in the arts. They can overcome their weak points by learning from
others’ strong points. They say there can be a pure friendship
between boys and girls.
Yours,
LiHua
