My little daughter asked me what PK meant, but I had no idea, explained the puzzled father.To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, PK is short for Player Kill, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.In the case of the Super Girl singing competition, PK was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didnt understand.My GG came back this summer from college. He told me Ive grown up to be a PLMM. I loved to FB with him together; he always took me to the KPM, went one composition.GG means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). PLMM refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). FB means Fu Bai (corruption). KPM is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds.Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!46.

What does the writer think about the term PK?A. Fathers cant possibly know it. B. The daughter should understand it.C. Online game players may know it. D. Super Girl shouldnt have used it.48.

Anyone can become a better scholar(学者) if he or she wants to. It is true that you may not be enthusiastic about everything that you study, but by using your time properly you may improve your grades without additional work. Heres how:Plan your time carefully. When you plan a trip, one of the first things you must do is to make a list of things to take. If you dont, you are almost certain to leave something important at home. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. Otherwise, you may forget to leave enough time to complete an important task. After making the list, you should make a schedule of your time.Find a good place to study. (64)Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or televisions! If you cant find such a place at home, find a library where you can study. When you sit down to work, concentrate on the subject! And dont go to the place you have chosen unless you are ready to study.Scan before you read. This means looking a passage over quickly but thoroughly before you begin to read it more carefully. Scanning a passage lets you preview the material and get a general idea of the content. This will actually allow you to skip less important material when you begin to read. Scanning will help you double your reading speed and improve your comprehension.Make good use of your time in class. (65)Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Sit where you can see and hear well. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says. When the teacher gets off the subject, stop taking notes.Study regularly. When you get home from class, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. Read any related material in your textbook. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, scan and read that material, too. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.Questions 6063： Complete the following sentences or answer the question.60. According to the passage, planning time includes _ and _ .61. A good place to study should be a place where _.62. Whats the main use of scanning?63. The purpose of this article is to tell us how to _.Question 6465: Translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.III 完形填空(Cloze)(共15小题；每小题1分，计15分)阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从方框内选择适当的单词或短语，并用其适当的形式填空。方框内有多余的词或短语，每个词或短语限用一次。 in fact, accept, they, reader, fortunate, realize, find, at present, willingly, same, in, either, grown-up, expect, obviously, high, hold together Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children.

(10分)There are a number of special days of the year that are celebrated in different countries. The origins of most of these celebrations are unknown; individual people certainly did not introduce them. However, other daysespecially those celebrated in Western countriesoften owe their origins to a particular person. One of the most popular is Mothers Day.Mothers have always been highly regarded in all cultures. The ancient Romans had a festival known as Hilaria, during which children took presents to the temple of the Mother of the Gods. The Christian Church adopted this idea and called it Mothering Sunday. However, this custom was gradually forgotten and had almost died out by the end of the nineteenth century.Born in 1864 in Virginia, USA, schoolteacher Anna Jarvis believed that children should show gratitude to their mothers for all their love and care. Encouraged by a friend, she wrote to thousands of important people and asked them to support her ideaa special day of the year for thanking mothers. In 1910, the Governor of West Virginia introduced Mothers Day in that state. The date chosen was May 10. May 10 was chosen because it was the day on which Anna Jarviss mother had died in 1908. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson made the second Sunday of May the official date for Mothers Day throughout the United States. It is still observed today. Soon after that, there was a Mothers Day International Association and the custom began to be adopted in many countries of the world.B) Write an English composition in about 120 words based on the following picture and the instructions given below.
