conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals(网友), you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of english.throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking” online many of them are talking at the same time.its fast: trying talking to six people once. its convenient: three or four words per exchange. it takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.and it requires very simple language. theres neither time nor space for explanations. why waste valuable time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when brb (=be right back) will do?want to enter a conversation? just type pmfji (=pardon me for jumping in).interested in whom youre talking to? type a/s/l, the common request to know your pals age, sex and location. you may get 15/m/ny as a reply from your pal. if something makes you laugh, say youre otf (=on the floor), or lol (=laughing out loud), or join the two into rotfl (=rolling on the floor laughing). and when its time to get back to work or go to bed, you type gtg (=got to go) or ttyl (=talk to you later).people want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feeling, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals. punctuation is going too.35. when people are online, they talk by _.a. using body language b. drawing some strange pictures c. making phone calls d. making use of a special short form of english36. the sentence “theres

(c) around 200 years ago, a well-known english poet called john keats attacked science. he said that british scientist isaac newton had unweaved(拆解) the rainbow. newton explained how light forms a rainbow. for keats, this explanation meant rainbows could no longer be beautiful. this is just one example of many. we often hear people talk of problems with science, or say that it is boring. some people, like keats, also say that science takes away the beauty of the world. but is this fair? first of all, science helps us get things done. we need to study science to produce certain kinds of people. after all, where would we be without engineers and doctors? when you are studying science in school, remember that one day you might be using that knowledge to build a bridge, or save a life. next time you use your phone to send a message, remember that this is possible thanks to science. when keats criticized(批判) newton, the very paper he wrote on was created through science. beyond helping society and getting things done, science also makes us think in a certain way. it asks us to believe things only through evidence. it teaches us never to trust our assumptions(假设). it teaches us that sometimes, the truth is stranger than fiction. when you study science, remember what it means. science has changed the world, and it can change you too. humans once looked up at rainbows, and said that they were beautiful. science explained them, and they were no longer recondite to us. but discovery never stops. through science, we can find new rainbows: mysteries that lie beyond the stars themselves.39. why did john keats criticize newton around 200 years ago? a. because he was angry that newton didnt like rainbows. b. because he didnt believe what newton said about rainbows. c. because he thought newtons explanation took away the beauty of rainbow. d. because he thought rainbows would disappear because of newtons explanation.40. which of the following is the way science makes us think? a. believing things only through evidence.b. believing what we see with our eyes. c. believing what is said in books.d. believing things are beautiful. 41. the underlined word “recondite” in paragraph 4 means “_”. a. secret b. famous c. beautiful d. powerful42. the best title for the passage can be _. a. how can we get the truth? b. the history of natural science c. why should we study science?d. the things we need to do for science(d)can you touch your belly button(肚脐) by reaching behind your back and around your waist(腰)? popular among many young chinese female users on weibo, the topic - which translates as “reaching your belly button from behind to show your good figure” -was mentioned more than 130 million times among weibo readers. it not only led to over 104,000 active discussions, but also brought about the care about what means a healthy body image. “look! success. more than four hours but ive finally reached my belly button,” said weibo user gaylerabbit.another user lucy said, “why does my belly button suddenly look and feel completely new?”, while the trend was popular with many female users on weibo, a photo uploaded by a male blogger caught peoples eyes. “is this posereally that difficult? i dont think so,” said weibo user sough sa. his photo showing he was trying to touch his belly button drew 2,634 likes and was shared more than 8,452 times. “i always support failures. now i dont feel so bad about not being able to touch my belly button.” said another user jacket. “do we need to have flexible(柔韧的) arms or a skinny waist to achieve it?” asked weibo user chantilly623. but some experts argued that chinas new belly button trend was actually distoring(歪曲) societys standards of beauty. “these poses and pictures can be fun but sometimes they also become an expression of competitiveness,” said jolene tan, programmes and communications senior manager at aware, a non-governmental organization in singapore championing womens rights. however, experienced body trainers say the new trend is about flexibility of the arm and the size of the waist, rather than a good figure. a skinny person with fewer muscles(肌肉) has a better chance of achieving the pose.43.between which two paragraphs can the following sentence be put in ?-“a new social trend(趋势) has started in china, with thousands of netizens facing the challenge and uploading photographs of themselves to show off their bodies” a. para1 and para2b. para3and para4c. para7 and para8 d. para9 and para1044. what can we learn from the passage?a. boys are not interested in this trend.b. gaylerabbit reached her belly button on her first try. c. sough sas photo of reaching his belly button was popular online.d. jacket felt sorry for not being able to touch his belly button45. what is experienced body trainers opinion of the new trend meaning a good figure?a. supportive.b. disbelieving. c. doubtful.d. worried. 第 卷 非选择部分（60分）四、词汇运用（共l0小题；每小题l分，计l0分）46. youd better consider _ _（翻译）the novel into english.47. this kind of car is _ _(专门地)designed for women.48. its difficult to drive _ _(穿过) the city during the rush hour.49. its twenty _ _ (分钟) walk from my home to school.50. with the development of _ _(医疗) technology, more and more illnesses can be cured.51. her father has _ _(fly) to london on business.52. its so cold outside. why not come in and warm _ _(you) , girls.53. good _ _(pronounce) will impress others.54. all of us look forward to the coming of my fathers _ _(40)birthday.55. her sister is said to be sent to london for _ _(far) education.五、任务型阅读（共l0空；每空l分，计l0分） although many chinese students say that their knowledge of english grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken english is poor. whenever i speak to chinese students they always say, “my spoken englishs poor”. however, their spoken english doesnt have to remain“poor”. i would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken english.first, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. however, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know. second, they are afraid of making mistakes. sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking, because they are shy and nervous. yet students should remember that their goal should be fluency（流利性） not accuracy（准确性）. your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using tenses to get your message across. but to talk to someone in english, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word of tense, but it doesnt matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you. the third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. you have one mouth but two ears! all that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking. fourth, most chinese students are inactive rather than pro-active language learners. instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken english, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their english always remains poor. if you have this pro-active outlook（前景）, then, you will
