Washing Case C. Water Closet D. Water Caster,1. 答案选C。即W.C. 是由Water Closet的首字母缩略而来的。它主

14、要用于英国英语，指有抽水设备的厕所，但在美国，人们几乎不用它。英语中表示“厕所”的其他表达还有：toilets, Ladies Room, Mens Room, public convenience, restroom, washroom等等,2. 许多同学都有自己的电子邮箱，如168, pgbook, hifriend998等。请问其中的表示什么意思，该怎么读？ A. 的意思是“电脑”，读作“a 外一个圈”。 B. 的意思是“邮箱”，读作“圈内一个 a”。 C. 的意思是“为”，读音与介词for相同。 D. 的意思是“在”，读音与介词 at 相同。,2. 答案选D。 在此相当于英语中的介词a

15、t，意为“在”，故读作“At”，如 pgbook 的意思就是“位于在 网站上的一个名叫 pgbook 的邮箱”。,3. 英国人和中国人都喜欢喝茶，但英国人通常将中国人说的“红茶”，说成 _ tea。 A. red B. white C. black D. green,3. 答案选C。汉语说“绿茶”，说成英语是 green tea，但汉语说“红茶”，英语习惯上用 black tea表示，而不能按字面意思说成 red tea。,4. 2008年北京奥运会的英文口号是 _. A. One world, One dream B. New Beijing, Great Olympics C. Great

16、 China welcome you D. Faster, Higher, Stronger,4. 答案选A。2008年北京奥运会的英文口号是One world, one dream。选项B( New Beijing, Great Olympics)是北京申办奥运会的口号，其意为“新北京，新奥运”；而选项C (Faster, Higher, Stronger)则是奥林匹克格言,5. 人有绰号，城市有绰号，有趣的是，有的国家也有绰号，如美国的绰号是_，英国的绰号是_。 A. Aunt Sam, Uncle John B. New Continent, Great Britain C. Washi

17、ngton, Elizabeth D. Uncle Sam, John Bull,答案选D。Uncle Sam 译成汉语是“山姆大叔”，是人们对“美国”“美国人”或“美国政府”的一种诙谐称呼。据说在1812年的英美战争时，美国的军事供应品的箱子上都印着 U.S.的字样(United States 第一个字母的缩写)，而当时在美国特罗城(Troy)有一位专门检查政府军用品订货的官员，名叫塞缪尔威尔逊(Samuel Wilson)，他的朋友平日都叫他为“山姆大叔”(Uncle Sam)，由于Uncle Sam这两个词的第一个字母缩写也是 U.S.，所以特罗城的人便开玩笑说，这些军用品箱子都是山姆大

18、叔的。后来这个笑话传开了，“山姆大叔”便成了“美国”、“美国人”或“美国政府”的绰号。,John Bull 在汉语中通常译为“约翰牛”，是英国人或英国的绰号。其中也有一个典故：英国18世纪有位讽刺杂文作家叫约翰阿布什诺特(John Arbuthnot,16671735)，他于1725年出版了一本叫约翰布尔的历史(The History of John Bull)的书。作者在书中创造了一个矮胖愚笨的绅士形象(即 John Bull)，用以讽刺当时辉格党(“自由党”的前身)在长期的西班牙王位继承战争(War of the Spanish Succession)中所扮演的角色。由于书中John Bu

19、ll这一形象塑造得相当成功，简直就是当时当权者的影子，所以，它就成英国或英国人的绰号,6. 有一种草叫“勿忘我”，许多文人常用它来描述相思与痴情。据说，人们只要将它带在身上，恋人就会将自己铭记于心、永志不忘。这种草的英语名字叫 _。 A. Dont forget me B. forget-me-not C. no-forgetting grass D. not-forget-me,答案选B。即“勿忘我草”的英语是forget-me-not，你若不信，随便找本词典查查看。其实，该单词来自一个爱情故事。据说，有一对恋人在海边散步，姑娘被岸边峭壁上的一丛美丽的鲜花吸引住了，小伙子便奋不顾身地去摘花，

20、结果被卷入狂涛巨浪之中。在与海浪的博斗中，他大声向姑娘喊道：“不要忘记我。”为了纪念心爱的恋人，姑娘就把那种花命名为“勿忘我”。现在，人们便用forget-me-not 来象征爱情的“忠贞不渝”。,7. 许多学英语的人为了提高英语听说能力都选择听“美国之音”。“美国之音”的英语形式是_。 A. American Sound B. the Sound of America C. the Voice of America D. Free Voice,国名拼写 China中国(CHN) FRA - France 法国 Russia俄罗斯(RUS) Japan曰本(JPN) IND - India 印
