the sand and spend the rest of our lives wishing shakespeare(莎士比亚) were alive and well. or we can embrace（拥抱）the new english, and enter into the spirit of the internet age called weblish.“you cant avoid it, for the simple reason that whenever a new variety of language comes along, it inevitably(不可避免地) impacts（冲击）on the language as a whole .” says dr. david crystal, honorary professor of linguistics（语言学家）at the university of wales in bangor, whose book “language and the internet” has just been published.the trouble with keeping up with the new english is not so much that there are so many new words but that the old words no longer mean what we thought they did. in the past, if someone said they did not have windows, you would have to suppose they lived in a cave. these days, it is probably because they use a mac(which is a computer, not a rain coat). spam is as disliked as it ever was, but whereas it once meant an unappetizing（引不起食欲的）canned meat. it now stands for unwanted “junk” email. spellings are changing, too. not only is text-messaging playing “hvc wth vrbs” (havoc（混乱）with verbs), but the conventions of email communication place little emphasis on “perfect speaking”.weblish loves to see nouns happily become verbs (“please bookmark this site”), and verbs become nouns (“send me the download”). verbs and prepositions(介词) are regularly thrown together to become new nouns or adjectives (dial-up, logon, print-on, pull-down, upload), while others are created from simply pairing nouns: cyberspace, etl, emit internet, hyperlink, metatag, netspeak.51the best title of this passage would be . akeep up with the latest weblishbkeep up with the latest development in englishcnewly invented english wordsdtechnology and english52we can infer from the first paragraph that .asome people wish shakespeare were still alivebpeople may have different attitudes towards weblishcall people welcome weblishdweblish causes fear among people53the author thinks the main difficulty for people in keeping up with weblish is that .aold words take on new meaningsbthere are so many new words cthe technology is changing too fastdweblish words are full of spelling mistakes54dr. david crystal would probably agree that .apeople should not accept weblishbweblish can cause misunderstandings among peoplecweblish will destroy the english languagedpeople should know something about weblishbamericana hotel crystal cityconvenient location. 5 minutes from washington, d. c. and one block to crystal city metro, crystal city underground, alexandria. free parking, free

motor inn cbesides news reports that tend to focus on war or election, americans generally dont hear much about people in other countries. one reason may be that very little foreign-language literature is translated into english. in the united states, just a few of the titles, mainly translations of foreign novels, short stories, or poetry, make it into english. however, a number of efforts have taken root to try to bring more global literature to us audiences. the online magazine of international literature, words without borders, was founded by bard college in annandale-on-hudson, n.y. the nonprofit site, now in its fifth year, offers modern writing from places such as argentina, china and italy, often for the first time in english. it gets about 200,000 page views per month and counts roughly 8,000 subscribers (订阅者), more than one-quarter of whom live in the us.“theres a wave of interest right now,” says jill schoolman, publisher of archipelago books, a small nonprofit press in brooklyn, n.y., opened in 2003 to publish world literature in translation only. “people are hungry for ideas from other countries.” rainmaker translations, a las vegas-based nonprofit, was formed two years ago to support the publication of more top-quality global writing here in the us. they put out their first three titles, translated from arabic, chinese and russian, in the spring of 2006 and plan to aid up to four more in the coming year.in march, the center for the art of translation, a nonprofit started in 1994 in san francisco, will publish two lines world library, focused on writing from some particular areas published over the last several decades.dalkey archive press, a century-old nonprofit publisher in champaign, illinois, has upped the number of translations on its publication list since 2003, from 25 percent to nearly 80 percent.in recent years, more nonprofits have applied to the national endowment for the arts for help to publish literary translations. the agency is also trying to increase the availability of translated prose (散文) and poetry in the us, such as publishing partnerships with foreign governments.58the main purpose in founding the magazine words without borders is _.ato compete for page views and subscribers onlinebto get american literature better known to the worldcto help advance nonprofit world literature translationdto introduce more world literature to readers in the us59what do the publishers mentioned in the passage have in common?athey mainly publish top-quality world literature in translation.bthey dont aim at making money by publishing global writing.cthey provide their translation and publication services online.dthey have published a number of literary works in
