As more and more people came to 1in Hong Kong, these trees were cut down and burnt. Now there is 2forest left, though there are still some small areas covered with trees. We call these woods, not forests.Elephants,tigers and many 3animals were living in the thick forest. When people came to live in Hong Kong, the 4began to die out. Early farmers grew rice and kept pigs and chickens in the valleys (山谷). They cut down the trees and burnt them. They needed fire to keep themselves 5in winter, to cook their food and to keep away the dangerous animals. Elephants 6disappeared because there was not enough food for them. So did most of the wolves and tigers. Monkeys and many other animals soon died 7the same way.You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong except in the zoos. There 8still about 36 different animals living there. One of the most interesting of Hong Kongs animals is the barking deer (麂). These are beautiful little animals with a rich brown coat and a white patch(补丁) under the tail. They look like deer but they are much smaller. They are less than two feet 9. They make a noise rather like a dog barking. In Hong Kong the barking deer has only one real enemy 10. People hunt these little animals though it is illegal (违法的). There are now not many barking deer left.

B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF thr 3 : - kids FTF. ILNY; its gr8.Can you understand this sentence? If you cant, dont feel too bad. The middle school teacher in England who received this as homework couldnt either. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized（电脑化的）communication found on Internet or mobile phones. 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 the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can 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 and e-mail will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents.Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception（例外）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”, and that 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（沟通）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. Erin, age 12, says, I wouldnt use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun.（1）What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?A . To give an example of a foreign language.B . To express worries about using Netspeak.C . To show an example of creative methods（方法）.D . To lead in the topic of Netspeak.（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to（按照）the passage?A . Cynthia Mcvey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.B . Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.C . David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.D . James Milroy says that every language is changing and improving.（3）The expression bet your bottom dollar in Paragraph 5 means “_”.A . be sureB . be surprisedC . think it a pityD . find it interesting（4）What can be the best title for the passage?A . Netspeak: A Widely-used Language on InternetB . Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?C . Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?D . Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages18. （10分）阅读理解Long ago a kind farmer with the name of Fred lived in a small old house happily together with his gentle wife, Doris, who couldnt see anything at the age of five.One cold winter night, the Luck Fairy (仙女) visited them while they were eating some bread in the dim（昏暗的）light. “Fred, youre so kind.
