In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries rarely use the letters.Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps. “WC, or water closet, is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Charlie Shifflet, a young man from the US. The old sign will become “Gents/Men” and “Ladies/Women”.“I see lots of poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” he says. “I know what they mean. But they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me My hometown is Henan Province, I know he should say: My hometown is in Henan Province. Hometown is a smaller place in a province.” The common mistakes he picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”, “Direction of Airport” should be changed to “To the Airport”. And it is “room rate”, not “room price”. And remember to “Keep off the grass”, rather than “Care of the green”.（1）What does the writer think of the use of “WC”?A . He doesnt think it means water closet.B . He doesnt think it old-fashioned English.C . He doesnt think it proper for a sign.D . He thinks it elegant English.（2）The underlined word “rarely” means _.A . sometimesB . seldomC . oftenD . always（3）Charlie Shifflet _.A . is a Chinese living in AmericaB . thinks Chinese people are sometimes using incorrect EnglishC . likes to hear or see ChinglishD . sometimes uses Chinglish（4）Which of the following signs does NOT use Ching lish?A . B . C . D . （5）The last paragraph is about _.A . why there are so many Chinglish signsB . examples of ChinglishC . where Chinglish signs areD . who uses Chinglish signs4. （8分）阅读理解“Get up, get up, Jim. Its time to get up!” My mother said while she was pushing me. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. “Oh dear! Its a quarter past eight already.” Ill be late for school again,” I thought. I jumped out of the bed, washed my face, and then hurried to the bus stop without breakfast. As soon as I got on the bus, it started running. “Im sure I can get to school in time,” I said to myself. Suddenly the bus stopped. The bus driver got off the bus, then got on the bus again and said, “Im sorry, ladies and gentlemen. Theres something wrong with the bus. Please get off the bus and wait for another one.” “I couldnt wait. The school isnt far. Id better run to school,” I thought, and then I began to run. But before I got to school, it began to rain hard.I reached the classroom but I was wet shivering with cold. The math teacher had already begun his lesson. It was Mr. Smith. He was very strict with his students and the students were a little afraid of him and so was I. I liked neither him nor his math lessons. I hesitated (犹豫) for a moment, and then I opened the door. “Im very sorry, Mr. Smith. Im late again,” I said with a red face.“Its you again, Jim,” Mr. Smith said angrily, “Ive told you not to be late, but you.” he suddenly stopped and looked at my wet clothes. He turned to the class and said, “Im very sorry, boys and girls. ” With these words he quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me. “Now, take off your wet coat and put on this one or youll catch cold,” he said kindly.I went to my seat with Mr. Smiths jacket on. It was a bit larger for me but I felt very warm in it. I found, for the first time, math was so interesting and how well I could understand it!根据材料内容选择最佳答案。（1）Jim _ to school today.

When you hear the name Hollywood, you probably think of excitement, lights, cameras and movie stars. Famous actors are not the only important people in the entertainment business. Directors and producers are important, too. Today, Hollywood is full of producers and directors. And it is one of the tourist destinations in America.In 1911 the small, peaceful village of Hollywood in California voted to become part of Los Angeles. Today, over 100 years later, this village has grown into the home of one of the best-known industries in the world- the American film industry.With this growth, came many well-known symbols. There is the famous Hollywood sign which stands above the hills of the town. The first sign was built in 1923. Then there is Hollywood Hall of Fame, where great actresses, actors and directors leave their footprints or handprints. Norma Tallmadge was the first actress to do this in 1927. But most famous of all are the Oscar Academy Awards(奥斯卡颁奖). In March of every year a number of actresses, actors and directors wait nervously to find out if they have won an Oscar. The 85th Oscar Academy Awards was held on February 25, 2013, in Los Angeles. Ang Lee(李安),a Chinese director won the best director again. It was his second time to win an Oscar.Nowadays it becomes more and more common for films to be made away from Hollywood itself, but it remains the home of films, and thousands of hopeful young actresses, actors, writers and directors still come to the Dream Factory every year. But not all Hollywood dreams have been happy ones- as one actress, who later died tragically(悲惨地), said, Hollywood is a place where they will pay you 500 dollars for a kiss, and 50 cents for your soul.（1）How was Hollywood in 1911? （2）What is Hollywood most famous for in the world? （3）Was the first Hollywood sign built in 1927? （4）How often are the Oscar Academy Awards held? （5）Ang Lee has won the best director twice, hasnt he? （6）How do you like Hollywood? 四、 单词拼写(每小题1分，共10分) (共1题；共10分)7. （10分）根据短文内容及首字母提示，补全空格内单词，使短文完整、通顺。 Everyone knows that second-hand smoke is as dangerous as first-hand smoke.
