( 20 points, 1 point each) 1There is one foreign product the Japanese are buying faster than others and its popularity has caused an uneasy feeling among many Japanese.That product is foreign words.Gairaigowords that come form outsidehave been part of the Janpanese language for centuries. Mostly borrowed form English and Chinese, these terms are often changed into forms no longer understood by native speakers.But in the last few years the trickle of foreign words has become a flood, and people fear the increasing use of foreign words is making it hard for the Janpanese to understand each other and could lead to many people forgetting the good qualities of traditional Japanese.“The popularity of foreign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything new.” Says univeristy lecturer and writer Takashi Saito. “By using a foreign word you can make a subject seem new, which makes it easier for the media (媒体) to pick up.”“Experts often study abroad and use English terms when they speak with people in their own fields. Those terms are then included in government white papers.” Said MuturoKai, president of the Natoinal Language Research Institute. “Foreign words find their way easily into announcements made to the general public, when they should really be explained in Janpanese.”Against the flow of new words, many Janpanese are turning back to the study of their own language. Saitos Janpanese to Be Read Aloud is one of many language books that are now flying off booksellers shelves.“We were expecting to sell the books to young people.” said the writer. “but it turns out they are more popular with the older generation, who seem uneasy about the future of Janpanese.”51. Gairaigos popularity in Japan, has caused many Japanese an _ feeling. A. easy B. uneasy C. pleased D. angry52.What advantage do foreign words have over traditional Japanese terms. A. The ideas expressed in foreign words sound new.B. Foreign words are best suited for announcements.C. Foreign words make new subjects easier to understand.D. The use of foreign words makes the media more popular.53. In the opinion of Takashi Saito, Janpanese people_ A. are good at learning foreign languages B. are willing to learn about new thingsC. trust the media D. respect experts54. Which of the following plays an important part in the spread of foreign words? A. The media and government papers. B. Best-selling Japanese textbooks. C. The interest of young Japanese. D. Foeign products and experts. 55. The book Japanese to Be Read Aloud _. A. sells very well in Japan B. is supported by the governmentC. is questioned by the old generation D. causes misunderstanding among the readers 2Scratchy throats, stuffy noses an body aches all spell misery, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold of flu may make a difference in how long the misery lasts.The American Lung Association (ALA) has issued new guidelines on combating colds and the flu(流感), and one of the keys is being able to quickly tell the two apart. Thats because the prescription drugs available for the flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As for colds, the sooner a person starts taking over-the-counter remedy, the sooner relief will come. The common cold and the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three viruses-flu A, B and C. There is no cure for either illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu A, B and C. There is no cure for either illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine, which is, for most people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA. But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu and common cold have many similarities, there are some obvious signs to look for. Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typcially develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages. And in general, flu symptons including fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more severe than cold symptons.The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants and preschool age children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctor if their small children have flu-like symptoms.Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well.However, children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain relief because of the risk of Reye syndronme(综合症), a rare but serious condition of the liver an central nervous system, Reye syndrome.There is, of course, no vaccine for the common cold. But frequent hand washing and avioding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one. 56. According to the author, knowing the cause of the misery will help_. A. shorten the duration of the illness B. the patient buy medicine over the counterC. the patient obtain cheaper prescription drugs D. prevent people from catching colds and the flu57. We learn from passage that _. A. one doesnt need to take any medicine if he has a cold or the flu B. aspirin should not be included in over-the-counter medicines for the flu C. delayed treatment of the flu will harm the liver and central nervous system D. over-the-counter drugs can be taken to ease the misery caused by a cold or the flu 58. According to this passage, to combat the flu effectively, _. A. one should indentify the virus which causes itB. one should consult a doctor as soon as possibleC. one should take medicine upon catching the diseaseD. one should remain alert when the disease is spreading59. Which of the following symptoms will distinguish the flu from a cold? A. A stuffy nose. B. A high temperature. C. A sore throat. D. A dry cough60. If children have flu-like symptoms, their parents _. A. are advised not to give them aspirin B. should watch out for signs of Reye syndrome C. are encouraged to take them to hospital for vaccination D. should prevent them from mixing with people running a fever3Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; theres no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your childrens curiosity(好奇). Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary(薪水) and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “ Now that were finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, dont jump in with “Thats right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “Thats interesting” or “Id never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.Never push a child to “think”. It doesnt make sense, children are always thinking. Without your telling them to. Whats more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement. Lastly, show; dont tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass (放大镜), and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates (蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.61. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is _. A. to let them see the world around B. to share the childrens curiosityC. to explain difficult phrases about science D. to supply the children with lab equipment 62.

B. wait for one or two seconds after a question.C. tell them to answer the next day. D. wait at least for three seconds after a question64.

The seventh.65.The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their childrens curiosity except that adults should _.
