No university in the country, perhaps the world, has as remarkable a past as Harvards.”“And our common enterprise is to make Harvards future even more remarkable than its past.

Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greetingI was too thrilled to believe herHer words could not convince me at allSo I did a research on googlecomTo my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see” This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible placesThough it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use dailyIronically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be correctedNobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentenceSome people believe that it came from Charlie Chans moviesIn the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screensDetective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius“Long time no see” was his trademarkSoon after Charlie Chan，“Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these moviesSome scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stewAll kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each otherAmerican Chinese，though a minority ethnic（少数民族的成员） group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stewYou can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese，and dj vu from French etcThere is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from othersThey will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant，or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery storeSince Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the futureIn this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor61.The writer himself felt surprised at _Athe Chinglish expression “Long time no see”Bfinding out Americans use the expression every dayCso many literal translation of the expressions used in AmericaD“Long time no see” used as standard American English62The word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means _Aa kind of cooked dish BConfucius wordsCmixture literature DAmerican changing cultures63According to the passage，it can be inferred that _Adetectives translate the phrase “Long time no see”BHollywood made “Long time no see” popularCthe huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languagesDcultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew64The main idea of the passage is that _Asome Chinese expressions are introduced into EnglishBAmerican English keep being enriched from different culturesCsome American expressions can be used in ChinaDyoull not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in America65According to the passage，which of the following statements is NOT true?ALanguages are always ruled by grammar and structureBInformal language sometimes doesnt go with grammar and structureC“Long time no see” has been used in at least four media mentioned in the passageDThere are four languages mentioned to be adopted in the American stew草塔中学2020学年第一学期期中考试 座位号高二 英语 答题卷五所给动词和动词词组的适当形式填空，两个多余。（10分）satisfy,observe,build up,come across,behave,refer to,broadcast,disturb,look down upon,intend,deliver,lead to1.
