B4, we usd 2go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & 3 kds FTF.”The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant. The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages. Text messages (also called SMS) through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first, mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way to send messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called “texting.”A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short. In addition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so it'scommon to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent a word, like “r” for “are,”“u” for “you,” and “2”for “to.”Several letters can also represent a phrase, like “lol”for “laughing out loud.”Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling “please”as “pls.”Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her. (The essay said, “My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face.”)Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing.

He was a man famous for his escapes from prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in rivers, from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic” tricks.Of course, his secret was not magic, or supernatural powers. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17 in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in a club in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison escape, in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.It was the publicity that came from this that started Harry Houdini’s success.Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toestrained to escape from ankle chains. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luck and a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks, passed quickly from her mouth to his.Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local jail of every town he visited. In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full. What was the result? Worldwide fame, anda name remembered today.1. According to the passage, Houdini’s success in prison escapes depends on ________.A. his magic tricks and unhuman powersB. his special tricks and a skeleton keyC. his unusual ability and a skeleton keyD. his unhuman talents and magic tricks2. In the fourth paragraph, the word “this” refers to ________.A. the previous sentenceB. “the publicity”C. the place, ChicagoD. the time, 18983. According to the passage, how did Houdini get the key which helped him unlock prison doors?A. He took the key from his wife’s mouth.B. His wife passed it to his hand while kissing him.C. His wife gave it to him by a magic trick.D. He got it in his mouth through a kiss by the wife.4. It can be inferred from the passage that Houdini became famous _________.A. when he was about 24B. when he was about 17C. after the year 1894D. before the year 18985. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Houdini used to be a famous magician in the USA.B. Houdini was first recognized widely in Chicago.C.

But because the FDA would allow cloned meat and milk to be sold without identifying labels, consumers wouldn’t be able to avoid them. The FDA has consistently tilted toward those who want cloned milk and meat in our food. Agency officials have repeatedly asserted that science shows cloned milk and meat are safe for humans. But theFDA has never published the complete scientific studies it says support that claim.The argument that cloning is safe for animals is unconvincing. Cloned meat and milk offer no public economic benefits. Having cloned cows produce more milk wouldn’t reduce milk prices. US farmers produce more milk than we drink, and the government is required to buy the surplus. Since 2000, dairy support programs have cost taxpayers more than $ 5 billion.Most important, this first decision to advance animal biotechnology raises ethical issues beyond the FDA’s expertise. Techniques used to clone animals will advance the ability to clone humans－and create animals with human genes. Neither the agency nor animal scientists are qualified to tell us whether and when it is ethically acceptable for humans to alter the essential nature of animals. We need a national discussion, including ethicists and religious leaders, to consider the wisdom of cloned and transgenic animals. Given the risk of unintended consequences, we should proceed cautiously. The president should halt further FDA action on cloning and set in motion a process for beginning this broader discussion.1．The author’s attitude towards cloning is __________. A．neutral B．opposed C．approving D．supportive2．In US many people buy cloned foods __________.A．to support the new technique B．because FDA approved themC．because they cannot tell which is cloned food D．because they cannot read the labels.3．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Because more milk is produced by cloned cows, the milk price is reduced.B．American farmers produce more milk than the people can consume. C．FDA approved that cloned food is safe for human beings. D．More and more people accept cloned milk and meat.4．From the text we know that cloning technique ___________. A．developed well enough to clone human beingsB．may cause unintended bad results to human beingsC．will bring more unexpected economic benefitsD．is supported by ethicists and religious leaders5．What’s the best title of this passage?A．Publice Is Against Cloned Food B．Benefits of Cloned Food C．Cloned Food Is Illegal D．Technique in Cloned Food16,Everyone agrees that it’s necessary to reduce carbon emissions (排放物) around the world. There is less agreement over exactly how nations should go about achieving a more carbon - free planet. Thus, the environmental equivalent of Elvis vs. the Beatles: cap - and - trade carbon emissions, or place a carbontax on all users? With cap - and - trade programs, governments limit the level of carbon produced by an industry. Companies that hold their emissions below the cap can sell their remaining allowance on a carbon market, while companies that go beyond their limit must purchase credits on that market. Carbon taxes are more straightforward: a set tax rate is placed on the consumption of carbon in any form - fossil-fuel electricity, gasoline - with the idea that raising the price will encourage industries and individuals to consume less. At the moment, cap - and - trade has the upper hand, since it serves as the backbone of the current Kyoto Protocol, and helped the U.S. reduce acid rain in the 1990s-but don't write off (勾销,取消) the tax just yet. . Supporters of the tax argue that a cap - and - trade system would be too difficult to administer - and too easily gamed by industries looking to sidestep emissions caps. Cap - and - trade advocators counter that like all other flat taxes, a carbon collection would relatively burden lower - income families, who spend a greater percentage of their income on energy than rich households.So which system will have a larger effect on carbon consumption?A 10% carbon tax might reduce the demand for carbon about 5 % or less, according to an analysis by the Carbon Tax Center, an environmental advocacy group. That may not be enough. Businesses and governments haven’t figured out how the two competing systems can work together, but in the end, the world may need both. 1．The passage focuses on .A．programs of collecting taxes B．systems of reducing carbon emissionsC．reasons for reducing carbon emissions D．contradictions between the two systems2．According to the cap - and - trade program, companies . A．are forbidden to produce carbon emissionsB．are allocated the same amount of carbon consumptionC．can sell their remaining allowance within their limits D．can sell the extra amount of carbon at a higher price 3．Carbon taxes work by .A．burdening well - off familiesB．encouraging industries to consume carbonC．raising the price for carbon consumptionD．limiting the carbon consumption of industries only 4．The underlined word “cap” in the second paragraph most likely refers to .A．limit B．credit C．level D．rate 5．We can learn from the passage .A．carbon taxes are difficult to carry outB．cap - and - trade plays a greater role at presentC．cap - and - trade will be preferable in the future D．carbon taxes will be preferable in the future17,Every year, we celebrate many special days----Mother’s Day, Father’s, and New Year’s Day. In some countries, there is a particular day for people to pull their leg with each other, which happens always before 12 o’clock a.m. In North America and parts of Europe, this day is known as April Fool’s Day, and is celebrated on April the first.Many believe that the French started April Fool’s Day. Centuries ago, New Year’s Day in Europe was April 1. In 1582, the calendar changed and King Charles IX of France moved it to January 1. But many people______________________________, and they still chose to keep April 1 as New Year’s Day. Many called these people ‘April Fools’ and played practical jokes and tricks on them. Over Time, April 1 became a day to have fun in France. It then spread to England and Scotland, and later, to North America.On April Fool’s Day, practical jokes are common. In the United States, for example, a person may move a friend’s clock ahead one hour, or switch the sugar and salt. In Scotland, April Fool’s Day lasts for two days. The second day is called ‘Taily Day’----for one’s ‘tail.’On this day, people might secretly put a sign saying‘kick me’on a person’s back or behind. Other countries have their own ‘Fool’s Day.’ In Spain and Mexico, people play tricks on each other on December 28. In India, it happens on March 31.In many countries around the world, April 1 is a day of fun. Practical jokes are common. There is a lot of laughter, and many shouts of ‘April Fool!’1. What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)_____________________________________________________________ __________2. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?It is believed that April Fool’s Day began in France._____________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ___________3.
