to chinese control in 1997. english was the only official language until 1994. most people in hong kong today speak cantonese, but mandarin and other dialects also are heard, and english as the british used is still widely spoken and taught here. now however, many people are choosing to learn english as it is spoken in the united states. victor chan, for example, has children who attend school called nature eq on saturday and sunday, and they are learning to say words the american way. mr chan says he wants his sons to learn american english, because he plans to send them to the united states for further study. nature eq is one of a growing number of schools in hong kong that offer american english classes. frankie ng opened the school 17 years ago, at that time, he had only 40 students. today, the school has 350 students, and it does not have space for any more. mr ng says american english is clear and defined. he says it is easy to teach and easily understood. that, however, is not the main concern of the children. public schools in the former british colony still teach mostly british english. but the number of private language schools teaching american english is growing. in hong kongs tseung kwan o district, for example, the american english workshop school had 20 students a week when it opened one year ago. today, ithas more than 180 each week. some observers say american english is becoming the language of international business. increased contact with american culture, like movies, television programs, computer games and the internet is spreading american expressions and accents in areas other than business. but for now, people hearing english in the streets of hong kong are mainly hearing traditional british english. “we can understand both, but for what we speak, we speak with the british accent, ”said one local woman. “the british is better i think, ”commented a local man. 【文章大意】多元化的大都市香港现在正兴起一股学习美式英语的热潮。1. which of the

like earth where life might exist? if so, where is it? and how far away is it? recently, the american kepler spacecraft found 22b , a planet about six hundred light years away. it is the first planet in a habitable zone outside the solar system. that means the planet orbits a star like our sun, but it is not too close to it, nor too far away. because of this position, scientists say kepler22b might have water, one of the main things needed for life. the newly-discovered planet is about two and a half times larger than the earth. it is closer to its star than we are to the sun, but 22bs sun is smaller than ours, and doesnt produce as much heat. scientific instruments show the new planet could be made of gases, rocks or some kinds of liquids. the kepler spacecraft was named in honor of johannes kepler, the seventeenth century german astronomer. it was designed to examine a small part of the milky way galaxy and search for places like the earth. it was made to inspect over 150,000 stars and measure how bright they are. it looks to see if a stars brightness gets less over a short time. if a planet passes between kepler and the star, it blocks out part of the light. that is what suggested to scientists that there is at least one planet orbiting the star. the instruments on kepler show the new planet as a small, black dot moving across its sun. an important part of the kepler experiment is on the earth. after the spacecraft gathers information, scientists use the space telescopes on the ground. scientists have found over 2,300 new planets since kepler was launched. about 200 of these are about the size of the earth. most are much larger, but it is the new planets distance from its star that is important. for life to possibly exist there, the planets temperature must not be too hot or too cold.63. what can we learn about kepler-22b? a. water must have been existed on it. b. it takes humans about 600 years to get there. c. it is made of gases, rocks and many kinds of liquids. d. it is the first planet in outer space where life may survive.64. the kepler spacecraft was sent into space to _. a. show honor to johannes kepler b. look for earth-like planets in the sky c. observe the changes of a stars brightness d. measure the brightest star among 150,000 stars65. in paragraph 5 the author mainly tells us_. a. how the kepler system works b. if the kepler system sees a new planet c. how the kepler system uses the space telescopes d. why an important part of the kepler system remains on the earth66. what can we infer from the passage? a. life may exist on the new planet in another form. b. it is colder on the new planet because its sun is smaller. c. life cant exist on planets which are much larger than the earth. d. the new planets distance from its star decides on the possibilitv of life existence.【参考答案】6366dbad 【2012江西省九江市】ctoday, friday, november 12jazz with the mike thomas jazz band at the derby armsupper richmond road west, sheendisco satin
