24、If you’ve been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals (网友), you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.

Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking” online—many of them are talking at the same time.

It’s fast: trying talking to six people once. It’s convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.

And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste valuable time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do?

Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).

Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.

If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing).

And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).

People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feeling, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation is going too.

【1】When people are online, they talk by ______.

A．using body language

B．drawing some strange pictures

C．making phone calls

D．making use of a special short form of English

【2】The sentence “There’s neither time nor space for explanations” means that ______.

A．people should use words properly

B．people should know what time it is when they are talking

C．people online have to express themselves in a simple way

D．people should communicate in a funny way

【3】If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means ______.

A．the people on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fine

B．you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New York

C．you are talking to 17 girls who are from New York

D．the people you are talking to is a 17-foot tall New York girl

【4】Which of the following is a way to save online time?

A．People seldom use capital letters or punctuation marks.

B．Many people draw pictures.

C．People only use the mouse instead of the keyboard.

D．People never use the “shift” key.

25、   Some of Paul’s schoolmates learn two languages—English and French. So does Paul. As an Englishman, Paul can also speak German and Spanish. So, do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren’t.

The survey done by the European Commission (欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.

And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That’s why British people don’t think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.

In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means at school learning a foreign language is only an option. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don’t students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good results in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.

To solve this problem, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.

Changing the British attitude(态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to have a try!

【1】Which country is Paul from?

A.France. B.Germany.

C.Spain. D.The United Kingdom.

【2】According to the passage, students in Britain prefer to learn .

A.science or German B.history or science

C.French or history D.German or French

【3】What does the underlined word “option” mean in Chinese in paragraph 4?

A.选修课 B.必修课 C.实验课 D.艺术课

【4】Which of the following about the British people is TRUE?

A.They are good language learners.

B.They are famous for speaking foreign languages.

C.More than half of them only speak English.

D.56% of them speak at least one foreign language.

【5】What is the best title of the passage?

A.English Speaking B.Young English Learners

C.Schools in England D.Language Learning in Britain

26、One day an ant was drinking at a small river and fell in. She made desperate(不顾一切的) efforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant was very tired, but she was still bravely doing her best when a dove saw her. Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft(筏子), and thus the ant reached the bank again.

27、阅读理解。

Florida teen band The Garbage-Men is performing on the stage. The band has five members. They are Jack Berry， Ollie Gray， Harrison Paparatto， Austin Siegel and Evan Tucker. The five teens are making music from waste. The Garbage-Men band’s instruments are made from recycled things. The guitars are boxes. A horn(号) is made from pipes. The keyboard is formed from old bottles.

The band started about two years ago. Jack Berry who was in eighth grade at the time decided to make a playable， home-made guitar， after some trial-and-error(反复试验)， he ended up building it from a cereal box， a yardstick and toothpicks. After Jack showed his creation to his friend Ollie Gray， Ollie had the idea to form a band using other home-made instruments as a way to improve recycling. “We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin.” Jack， 16， told TFK. “You can actually reuse materials.”

Last year， the Garbage-Men played at local events， including festivals， farmer’s markets. Typically， the teens set up on the street and performed popular songs from the 1960s， including classic Beatles and crowd favorite “Wipe Out”. They talked about recycling and offered tips for how to improve the environment. While they were performing， Jack’s little brother Trent， 11， gave out leaflets about recycling and helped sell the band’s CDs and other musical products.

The band donated the money from sales to charity. They have raised more than $2，500 for Heifer International. The organization gives farm animals， seeds and agricultural training to people in poor countries to help end poverty and hunger. “It’s a good， sustainable-development (持续发展的)charity，” Jack says， “By donating one animal， you help the whole community.”

The band， all tenth graders， tries to play a show every week. They’ve also played on a Florida radio station. The teens hope to take their shows on the road by touring in other states. “Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because it’s really close.” Jack says. Their instruments may be rubbish， but their message isn’t.

【1】They are all members of the Garbage-Men band EXCEPT ________.

A．Ollie Gray    B．Trent Berry

C．Austin Siegel    D．Jack Berry

【2】Which of the following is the correct order of what the teens have done?
