21、   "I'm a big fan of the NBA." "The PM2.5 level is high today." "What's the Wi-Fi password for this restaurant?"

Do you often say or hear such sentences? Just to be clear: NBA is short for National Basketball Association. PM stands for particulate matter, and some say Wi-Fi stands for wireless fidelity.

Many of you will already know the meaning of these abbreviations(缩写词). Young people often mix them with Chinese language in their conversations. "I knew what the NBA was long before I heard its Chinese name," said Zhang Hangyu, 14, from Hunan. "The English word is easy to remember."

There has been some criticism(批评) of these words. Some people think they harm the purity (纯洁) of the Chinese language. "Some people worship(崇拜) the West crazily and use foreign words to show off," language expert Xia Jixuan told People's Daily.

Should we close the door to foreign words? "We can bring in foreign words and localize(将……本土化) them. That gives the Chinese language new life," said Yao Xishuang, a language official from the Ministry of Education.

Now, experts are working on official translations of popular foreign words. For example, PM2.5. is“细颗粒物”in Chinese.

【1】Abbreviations like "NBA" come from ________.

A.their Chinese translations B.their English names

C.online conversations D.the mired use of English and Chinese

【2】What do we know from Zhang Hangyu?

A.Young people use foreign words to show off.

B.Chinese people worship the West.

C.English abbreviations are easy to remember.

D.Not all English words have Chinese translations.

【3】Paragraph 4 is mainly about ________.

A.people's worries about the mixed use of languages

B.the effects of using English abbreviations

C.what we can do to stop the mixed use of languages

D.why Chinese people like using English while speaking

【4】What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A.We should spread Chinese throughout the world.

B.Learning English is necessary for most people.

C.We don't need to use any foreign words.

D.China is trying to localize foreign words.

22、   Volunteers are probably some of the most overlooked(被忽视的) people. But no activities can carry on smoothly without hardworking volunteers. Last month, I volunteered at the Color Run in Melbourne, Australia. Although I didn’t have so much fun as the runners, I still learned a valuable lesson.

My job was to give a high-five(击掌) to every runner at the finish line. At the beginning, I saw it as a simple task. When the first runner passed, I reached out my hands and shouted “Good job!” excitedly. However, as more and more people crossed the finish line and clapped their hands with mine, my arms got sore. To make things worse, it became hotter. My clothes were wet because of the sweat(汗水), and I felt really tired. But soon I saw a group of children running towards me. They were about 6 years old. Although they hardly catch their breath, they still kept going with big smiles on their faces. They put up their hands and said loudly, “High-five!”

At that moment, I was quite touched. They were so young, and they refused to give up. Suddenly, I felt myself be full of strength(力量). I clapped their hands, “Well done, little guys!”

That is the meaning of being a volunteer. It is never an easy job. However, we meet different people and see the spirit that touches us. Although such spirit is not often found in daily life, it can help us learn a lot when we see it by accident.

23、   High­speed trains, Alipay (支付宝), shared bikes and online payment are seen as the new Four Great Achievements of China by young foreigners, according to a video survey by the Silk Road Research Institute of Beijing Foreign Studies University. In the video, young people from 20 countries along The Belt and Road (一带一路) were asked to name great inventions that had influenced their lives in China. The following is what they said from 4 young people of them.

I’m Justin. I’m from Romania. China is really a great country and its high-speed railways are very fast, convenient and tidy. It takes me only about 6 hours from Beijing to Shanghai by train. It saves a lot of time and it’s cheaper than by airplane. I wish we would have high-speed railways in our country someday.

I’m Yala. I’m from Nepal. I always go out by bike. The bicycle-sharing system allows people to borrow a bike from point “A” and return it at point “B”. It’s not only cheap but also a low carbon and healthy way of life. I like it very much.

I’m Archana. I’m from India. My life in Beijing is quite different from that in India. Here in China, I seldom take money with me when I go out. I can pay for almost everything by Zhi Fu Bao. Oh, it’s amazing. However, in India, if you don’t take a wallet with you, you’ll be in a tough spot.

I’m Bond. I’m from Thailand. In China, you can find many wonderful things that we don’t have. Alipay or other online payment Apps with which I can go shopping without stepping out of the doors. If only I could bring them back to my country!

24、Living in China, it is very easy for us to get clean water. However, in many other places around the world, clean water is unavailable. Take Liberia (利比里亚) as an example. Many people there have no choice but to drink dirty water. Every year, many children die of diarrhea (腹泻).

Destinee Whitaker learned this when she entered high school. The problem worried her a lot. The American girl wanted to make a difference. She shared her wish with her schoolmates. Together, they discussed how to help people in Liberia.

The students decided to donate water purification systems (水质净化系统) to Liberia. To raise money, they held bake sales at their school. Finally, they collected enough money. Whitaker gave a check (支票) to people in Liberia. The local people were excited about the “gift”. They were moved by what the students had done.
