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 spe nding 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 beco me “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 b e “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”.
( ) 5. 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. ( ) 6. The underlined word “rarely” means .
A. sometimes
B. seldom
C. often
D. always
( ) 7. 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
( ) 8. 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

The world is changing all the time. Life today is getting easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but the changes have brought some new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. We can see it, smell it, drink it, and even hear it.
People are building the Earth but they are also polluting it at the same time. The more people there are, the more pollution we have. People always take away farmlands to build houses or factories. They kill animals to eat them or make money with their fur. They throw waste things here and there and put waste water into rivers directly.
Now air pollution is still the biggest one in all kinds of pollution. It is bad for all living things. That's mainly because of the heavy traffic. Some scientists say it will be much better if people ride bikes instead of driving cars. When you are riding, there is no pollution. But in many countries people don't want to go to work by bike. It is not because bikes are expensive or people are tired if they ride to work, but because the roads for cars become better than before. More people put away their bikes and go to work by car or by bus. Then things are getting worse and worse.
3. What's the biggest pollution according to this passage?
__________________________________________________________________
4.Why don't people want to go to work by bike in many countries?
__________________________________________________________________

书面表达：
Some students think reading is more important because reading not only makes our life colourful but also helps us get more knowledge. At the same time, they think many great people share their feelings and experiences with us in books.
However，some other students like to travel outside better．They think travelling can help us experience the world on our own. What’s more，we can feel different cultures by travelling．Finally，travelling can also improve our daily living abilities.
I think both reading and travelling are important．They can open up a whole new world to us.。
