2011年中考阅读汇编1. What do you do if youre stranded（处于困境的）on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.Body signals（信号）Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means yes. When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means no. If you want the pilot to know that its safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend（弯曲）your knees. If you want to say that its not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.Smoke signalsThe smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so its a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isnt hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless youre sure that it cant spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.Ground-to-air signalsIts a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(标记). If you cant find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:F I need food and water.II I need medicine.I I am badly hurt.X I am unable to move from here.Pilots repliesIf the pilot lowers the planes wings from side to side, this means message received and understood. (At night, the pilot flashes the planes green lights.)

B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his CF & thr 3:- kids FTF ILNY, its gr8.Can you understand this sentence? If you cant, dont feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the translation of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; its great.Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming（破坏）the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes cxan be seen in students writing. They fear the language could become corrupted（面目全非的）.Everyone should just relax, say linguists（语言学家）. They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. People get better at writing by writing, he says, Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents.Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when todays teenagers become tomorrows parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become corrupted; they simply change to meet the new needs.However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and its important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future.Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway.
