English is becoming more and more popular in China. It can be used in every field, such as on some signs and restaurant menus. But there are some problems when people use it. Perhaps you've seen the English letters "WC" in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from native（地道的）English? In fact, foreigners
from English-speaking countries seldom 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 Nancy, a young woman from the US. The old sign will become "Gents/Men" and "Ladies/Women". "I see much poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs," she says, "I know what they mean, but they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me "My hometown is Guizhou Province", I know he or she should say "My hometown is in Guizhou Province". Hometown is a smaller place in a province. The common mistakes that Nancy 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".
The next time you walk on the street or eat in the restaurant, you can go and see if the expressions are right.（1）Who seldom uses letters of "WC" according to the passage?
A.Chinese students.
B.Foreigners from other countries.
C.Teachers in China.
D.English-speaking foreigners.
（2）What's the attitude of the govemment towards the bad English on signs?

（3）When Nancy sees much poor English in everyday life, ______.
A.she thinks it should be corrected
B.she thinks it is dirty
C.she thinks it is proper
D.she likes to use it
（4）Which of the following signs is Right?
A.Not Entry.
B.Room Price.
C.To the Airport.
D.Care of the Green.

Have you ever watched a film with your friends and thought, "How wonderful!" or had a meal with your family and said, "That's the best!"
Well, there may be a small secret about why you enjoyed it so much. Our feelings will be stronger if we share something with someone. That means good experiences become better, and bad ones become worse. That's
according to a new study by Yale University.
Scientists did a small study on female（女性的）college students. In the test, they shared chocolate with someone they thought was a student. But in fact, it was a scientist. In each test, they got two pieces of chocolate. They ate one piece at the same time with the "student" and the other piece alone. The students thought the chocolate was tastier and more enjoyable when they shared it with someone. Even though both pieces of chocolate were from the same box.
Scientists then did another experiment. This time they picked the bitter（苦味的）, unpleasant chocolate. Again, the students thought the chocolate was bitterer than the piece they ate alone.
"When people think of shared experience, what usually comes to mind is being with friends or family," said scientist Erica Boothby. "We often don't know how much people around us influence（影响）our mind," according to Erica.
It shows that sharing things with a friend may just make good things better. But the study only looked at female college students, it doesn't mean the whole picture.
（1）What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A.Harvard University did the study.
B.All the experiences will be better if you share with your friends.
C.The secret is about why we like our friends.
D.Bad experiences will become worse if we share with others.
（2）Who did the female college students share chocolate with?
A.A student.
B.A scientist.
C.Their parents.
D.Their friends.
（3）What does the study show us?
A.Females are more likely to share.
B.Sharing with friends makes good things better.
C.Everything you eat with friends can be sweeter.
D.Students don't like sharing chocolate with others.
（4）What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Friends always help us
B.Eating chocolate makes us happier
C.Sharing makes feelings stronger
D.Doing a test is really interesting

【解答】
（1）named 考查一般过去时。

分析可知空处在句中谓语动词，name，作动词，表示命名，结合时间状语in 1999可知该句应为一般过去时，谓语动词应用过去式named。

（2）as 考查介词。

根据空后的their mother language可知，此处表示作为他们的母语，空处表示“作为”，应用介词as，表示作为。

（3）The earliest 考查形容词最高级。

空处修饰名词written record，应用形容词，结合后文the oracle bone script（甲骨文）of the Shang Dynasty可知，此处表示已知的最早的文字记录是商代的甲骨文。

空处表示“最早的”，应用形容词最高级，early的最高级为the earliest，位于句首首字母大写。

（4）to make 考查动词不定式。

句意：大多数汉字都是表意文字，由两个或两个以上的字组成一个新的字。

分析可知空处在句中表目的，应用动词不定式to make，在句中作目的状语。

（5）to hold 考查动词不定式。

分析可知空处在句中作后置定语，修饰名词a place，且表示未发生的动作，因此应用动词不定式to hold作定语。

（6）However 考查副词。

根据空前句As time went on, thousands of words developed.“随着时间的推移，产生了成千上万个单词。

”及空后句people only use a few of them in everyday life“人们在日常生活中只使用其中的一些”可知，前后为转折关系，空处在句中作状语，因此应用表转折的副词however，位于句首首字母大写。

（7）interest 考查固定搭配。

句意：随着经济的快速发展，来自其他国家的越来越多的人对汉语产生了兴趣。

此处使用固定搭配take interest in sth表示对……产生兴趣。

（8）a 考查不定冠词。

根据空后的可数名词survey可知，空处修饰可数名词单数，且此处表示泛指一项调查，应用不定冠词，且survey以辅音音素开头，因此应用不定冠词a修饰。

（9）Which/What 考查宾语从句。

分析可知该句为含有宾语从句的复合句，空处在从句中作动词learn的宾语，可以用which或what，该句为直接引语中的完整句子，位于句首首字母大写。

（10）second 考查序数词。

句意：汉语以15%的得票率位居第二，仅次于西班牙语。

表示“第二”应用two的序数词second。
