Ⅲ. 阅读理解 （每小题2分，共20分）

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”.

(   )26. 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.

(   )27. The underlined word “rarely” means 　　　.

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

(   )28. 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

(   )29. Which of the following signs does NOT use Chinglish?

          A.                      B.     

          C.                     D.

(   )30. 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

 

People use their mouths for many things. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice.

Sometimes, people say something to a friend or a family member. Later they regret because it hurts that person’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they didn’t mean to tell. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.”

Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend is going to say. When this happens, the friend might say: “You took the words right out of my mouth!” Sometimes a person has a bad or sad experience with another person. He might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth.” Or the person possibly has a very frightening (可怕的) experience, like having an angry dog running after him. He might say: “I had my heart in my mouth.”

Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. You might say the person “was born with a silver spoon (银勺) in his mouth”. He is the opposite of a person living from “hand to mouth”. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food. 

(   )31. The underlined word “regret” may mean 　　　.

       A. feel sorry         B. feel excited        C. feel proud           D. feel surprised

(   )32. When a man says “I had my heart in my mouth”, usually he means he was

       A. excited           B. afraid           C. surprised            D. happy

(   )33. Your best friend Tony has said what you are going to say, you might say: “　　   　!”

       A. You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth

       B. You really put my foot in my mouth

       C. You really left a bad taste in my mouth

       D. You took the words right out of my mouth

(   )34. Tom says that he is living from hand to mouth. He means he is living a(n) 　　　 life.

       A. busy                  B. hard                     C. easy                        D. rich

(   )35. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?

       A. Different Uses of Mouth                B. People and Their Mouths

       C. Expressions about Mouth               D. The Importance of Mouth

Ⅵ. 任务型阅读 （每小题1分，共15分）

A. 阅读下面的材料，根据其内容填空，完成后面的表格。

Playing with friends, going to a party, having a meal in a restaurant or receiving a birthday gift—as a teenager, you go to different places and meet different kinds of people. Everything you do leaves an impression (印象). So manners are very important.

Arriving 30 minutes late for a date may say: “This isn’t that important to me.” Taking a cell phone call while talking to your friend may say: “The caller is more important than the person standing in front of me.” Failing to show thanks to a gift-giver may say: “I don’t like the gift.”

Is that the message you really want to send? Maybe not. You do not want to be rude, but sometimes what you do makes people think you’re impolite.

How can you change that? First, you should know the proper ways to behave around people. We call this manners. Manners are about being honest, respectful (尊重) and considerate (考虑周到的). Good manners show in small things. Start to make your manners better now!

You could start by adding “please” and “thank you” to your vocabulary and avoiding bad language. You could start by holding a door open for someone after you to go through. You could start by showing up on time instead of letting others wait for you.

Start now! Start a new life and start to be a teenager with good manners!

Are you going to have dinner at your Western friend’s home? Then be (61) c

You may find Western table manners are (63) d　 　　　 from Chinese manners. Here is some good (64) a　 　　　 to keep you cool.

When you are (65) r　 　　　 to eat, sit up straight on the chair. Usually, don’t put your elbows (胳膊肘) on the table. First (66) p　 　　　 your napkin (餐巾) up and put it on your lap. You can use it to clean your hands or mouth, but not your face. When you finish eating, put it (67) b　 　　　 on the table.

Don’t make any noise when you eat or drink the soup. It’s not good to speak when your mouth is (68) f　 　　　. If you do that, people will see the food in your mouth.

If you want to get some food but you can’t (69) r　 　　　 it, ask others to pass the dish to you. Put bones on the edge of the plate. And remember, take bread with your (70) h　 　　　, not with a fork.
