21、Perhaps you’ve seen the English letters “WC” in your city. They show public toilets. But do

you know it is far from elegant (优雅的) English? In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries rarely use the letters.

Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.

“WC, or water closet, is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Charlie Shifflet, a young man from the US. The old sign will become “Gents/Men” and “Ladies/Women”.

“I see lots of poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” he says. “I know what they mean. But they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me ‘My hometown is Henan Province’, I know he should say: ‘My hometown is in Henan Province’. ‘Hometown’ is a smaller place in a province.” The common mistakes he picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”, “Direction of Airport” should be changed to “To the Airport”. And it is “room rate”, not “room price”. And remember to “Keep off the grass”, rather than “Care of the green”.

【1】What does the writer think of the use of “WC”?

A. He doesn’t think it means water closet.

B. He doesn’t think it old-fashioned English.

C. He doesn’t think it proper for a sign.

D. He thinks it elegant English.

【2】The underlined word “rarely” means ________.

A. sometimes B. seldom C. often   D. always

【3】Charlie Shifflet ___________.

A. is a Chinese living in America

B. thinks Chinese people are sometimes using incorrect English

C. likes to hear or see Chinglish

D. sometimes uses Chinglish

【4】Which of the following signs does NOT use Chinglish?

  A. B. C. D.

【5】The last paragraph is about _________.

A. why there are so many Chinglish signs

B. examples of Chinglish

C. where Chinglish signs are

D. who uses Chinglish signs

22、   A miser (守财奴) sold everything he had and bought some gold with the money he got. “The gold will never get old.” he thought, “and it cannot break, so I can always sell it when I need money. However, gold is easy to steal(偷), so I will bury(埋) it.”

That same night, he went into a field and buried the gold. From time to time, he went to the field and would dig up(挖出) the gold to make sure it was still there. Then he would bury it again. A man who was building a house nearby saw the miser burying the gold again.

One night, the man went into the miser’s field, dug up the bar of gold, and stole it. The miser went to the hole the next day. He could not find the gold. He was very unhappy. A friend saw him crying and asked what the matter was.

When the miser told him, the friend said, “Put some stones in the hole and pretend(假装) they are gold. You didn’t use the gold when you had it, so it doesn’t matter that there will only be some stones in the hole.”

【1】The miser bought some ______ with his money.

23、In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect (影响) on the poor，but once a person has a rich life，a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.

If money was everything，all millionaires (百万富翁) would have true love， true friendship，good health and a long life. However，this is not always true. Many of them are not happy, and die earlier.

Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought？I’m afraid not. Love means to give，not to take. To every person，health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的) things. Well，can health and a long life be bought with money？The answer is “No”.

Of all the longest living people in the world，few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word，Where money is worshiped(崇拜)，money can cause brothers to quarrel，lovers to hate，strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have，it is still not enough to make you a happy person, if you have no one to laugh with，no one to cry for.

【1】According to the passage，which of the following do you think is right？

A．Money is everything.

B．Money isn’t necessary.

C．Money is important，but not the most important.

D．With no money，with no success.

【2】Which sentence of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．If you haven’t much money，you can’t get more happiness.

B．You may live a long life even if you are poor.

C．Every year many people die in the world because their family is poor.

D．If you are rich，you will have less friendship.

【4】What does the sentence“Love means to give, not to take.” Mean ?

A．爱意味着给予，而不能带走。

B．爱是可以得到的，不要走开。

C．爱意味着奉献，而不是索取。

D．爱是可以索取的，而不必付出

24、   There is an old saying that all of us are born with two bags hung (悬挂) on our necks. A small bag in the front is filled with other people’s faults (缺点), while the big one at the b【1】 is full of our own shortcomings (短处). So it’s easy to find other people’s faults, but it’s h【2】 to see ours behind us.

A boy named Tommy had f【3】 friends: Simon, Jack, Johnny and Harry. He saw other people’s faults very q【4】. When Simon was impatient with him, he said to Simon, “It’s so easy for you to g【5】 angry. It is hard to be friends with you.”

He told his mother about Jack’s dishonesty. “Jack takes my things w【6】 asking. He also forgets to return them.” In fact, Tommy h【7】 wasn’t willing to share his things with anyone.

W【8】 Johnny was too tired to play with him, he said, “You are such a rude person.” He thought Harry acted like that because he c【9】 from a rich family. At last, he had few good friends.

If Tommy turns the bags around, he will find his own impatience, dishonesty, bad manners and vanity (虚荣), and he is not b【10】 than Simon, Jack, Johnny or Harry.
