21、Can you understand the following words? “Long time no see.” “Good good study, day day up.”
“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.”
Yes, we call these examples Chinglish, like “people mountain, people sea”.
Chinglish usually means English vocabulary with Chinese grammar on street signs or products. However, many English speaking tourists love them. Tom has been living in Beijing for years. “I think many Chinese people dislike Chinglish. But I love it. It’s quite interesting. I think if the translations of English in China are all perfect, something will be lost from Chinese culture.” However, Chinglish will probably become a part of history in future. Beijing has made a plan to correct Chinglish within five years. “It is so funny to see Chinglish on the signs. And they are a kind of trouble for communication between the Chinese and foreigners,” a Beijinger said.
However, some people in China like Chinglish. They think that English has “borrowed” a lot from other languages such as German, French and Spanish in the past, and now as Chinese’s turn.
【1】According to the passage, Chinglish is ________.
A.the English words easy to pronounce
B.the Chinese words difficult to translate
C.the English words with Chinese grammar
D.the Chinese words that foreigners love

A.there are many people
B.humans are powerful
C.all the people are running
D.humans respect nature

A.All foreign tourists hate Chinglish.
B.English can also borrow a lot from Chinese.

【4】We can learn from the last second paragraph that Beijing will ________.
A.put English words into Chinese
B.change English and Chinese
C.help foreigners to learn Chinglish
D.correct Chinglish in future
【5】Which one is not Chinglish?
A.Long time no see.
B.Good good study, day day up.
C.I very love you.
D.A miss is as good as a mile.

24、When I was very young, we used to live in Florida. These were the happiest days of my life, and I loved riding down one of Florida’s highways. One day, we went down a highway. Nobody else appeared to be there, but an animal was there. It was lying in the center of the road, bloody, and seemed to be dead: hit by a car. Quickly my mother pulled it into the parking space(停车场) while I was staying in our car. “My dear God,” I heard her. “It’s a turtle(海龟), and it’s still alive!” We had an empty box in the back and some water from the supermarket. So my mother fill it with water, picked the turtle up, and put it in the water. We drove it home and I looked at the bloody turtle floating(漂浮) in the box. It was alive, but its shell (壳)was broken. We fed him cabbages and kept him in a cool area.
My mom made an artificial (人工的) shell for him. When the turtle was well, we drove to the nearest lake. There were lots of animals living in the lake. Together, we placed him into the water and he swam off.

25、Just how well do you read? You may find this question difficult to answer. If a friend asks how tall you are, you may hand him a r【1】 and tell him to measure you. But you can’t measure your reading ability with a ruler.
Here is one way to j【2】 your reading ability. Take from your desk the book you are using this year — the textbooks needed for English, math and science. Read a few paragraphs from each textbook. Then ask y【3】 these questions. Do I read these books easily? Is it difficult for me to get the information from these books? Am I struggling (挣扎) through each book — looking at each word again and again, but still not able to understand w【4】 the words mean? Most people like you need to make their reading b【5】. The fifth grade pupil knows that the textbooks for the sixth grade will be more difficult than those he is using now. The middle school student knows that he must prepare to read books written for high school boys and girls.
The high school student knows that he must prepare to read c【6】 texts. And so it goes. Most people say, “I want to help myself.”
There is always one good rule that you should follow. You should keep your mind on all you are doing. A car may run through a stop light because the c【7】 driver is thinking of something other than his driving. The same is true with reading. If you think of nothing else while you are reading, you will become a better reader.
