or i didnt understand, can you repeat that? . its just, say again. no more grammar!in the age of international communication through the internet who knows? . a new form of english might appear. a large number of the worlds e-mails are in english and include examples of netlingo like oic (oh, i see) and ttyl (talk to you later). in another fifty years, english as we know it might not exist . we will probably all speak fluent internetish!61. the best title for the passage would be _.a. seaspeak b. basic english c. easy english d. internetish【答案】c【解析】标题归纳题。根据many experts have tried to make english easier for students to learn文章开头就指出主题怎样把英语变得更加简单，下文叙述了人们的不同做法，故选c。62. it will take a person about _ weeks to learn basic english if he spends two hours learning it every day. a. six b. four c. three d. two 【答案】d【解析】细节理解题。根据ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours.花30个小时，一天两个小时所以总共花两周的时间，故选d。63. according to professor zachrisson, what was the biggest problem for learners of english? a. grammar. b. vocabulary. c. spelling. d. speaking.【答案】c【解析】细节理解题。根据re zachrisson, a university professor in sweden, decided that the biggest problem for learners of english was spelling, zachrisson教授说最大的问题是拼写，故选c。64. which of the following is likely to be anglic? a. a graet batl. b. iouc. long time no see. d. two five, no lights.【答案】a【解析】细节理解题。根据anglic was similar to english,可推出选项a的单词拼写上看出近似于英语但又不是英语，故选a。65. what might happen to english in another fifty years? a. it might become a global language. b. it might be replaced by internetish. c. it might take the place of all other languages. d. it might become more and more difficult.【答案】b【解析】细节理解题。根据in another fifty years, english as we know it might not exist . we will probably all speak fluent internetish!再过50年有可能出现internetish语言，故选b。 if youre into sports, youve seen it happen. youve probably even experienced it: basketball players shaking hands after four quarters of knocking each other around, tennis players leaping over the net to shake hands with their opponents (对手) after a hard-fought match, soccer players exchanging sport shirts after an intense 90 minutes, even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each round, then hugging each other after beating each other into a pulp for 12 rounds. it seems like competitors in every event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way. whats going on?its all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity.what is sportsmanship? sportsmanship is defined as: playing fair, following the rules of the game, respecting the judgment of referees and officials, treating opponents with respect.some people define good sportsmanship as the golden rule of sports - in other words, treating the people you play with and against as y
