My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his CF & thr 3:-@ kids FTF ILNY, its gr8.
　　Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" of the sentence above? 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 screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it's great.
　　Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming（破壞）the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes cxan be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted（面目全非的）.
　　Everyone should just relax, say linguists（語言學(xué)家）. They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."
　　Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.
　　However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future."
　　Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun"
　小題1:What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To give an example of a foreign language.
B．To show an example of creative methods.
C．To express worries about using Netspeak.
D．To lead in the topic of Netspeak.
　小題2:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.
B．Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.
C．David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.
D．James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.
　　小題3:The expression "bet your bottom dollar" in Paragraph 5 means ______.
A．be fairly sure B．be greatly surprised
C．think it a pity D．find it interesting
　　小題4: What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on Internet
B．Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?
C．Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?
D．Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages

小題1: D         
小題1:C
小題1:A
小題1:B

小題1:在審題過程中請(qǐng)大家主語是main purpose而不是 main idea ,第一段就一句話，而且是讓人咋看起開一頭霧水的句子，這樣的句子用在開頭，很明顯是為了引出下文�；蛘叽蠹铱梢赃\(yùn)用排除法 文章主要對(duì)象是netspeak ,而A，B兩項(xiàng)沒有提到 netspeak 故排除，又因?yàn)镃選項(xiàng)在感情色彩上是負(fù)面，與原文感情色彩相違背，故答案選擇D。
小題1:本題為判斷正誤題，也叫做細(xì)節(jié)推斷題，解題方法依據(jù)選項(xiàng)中的人物專有名詞來定位找要點(diǎn)，A定位詞為CM在原文倒數(shù)第二個(gè)自然段出現(xiàn)，其中引號(hào)的句子中用了worries與答案中的properly相反，所以排除；B定位詞為GN和Standard English.文中出現(xiàn)Standard English.是在倒數(shù)第二個(gè)自然段與CM相關(guān)的信息，所以此選項(xiàng)為典型的張冠李戴；D選項(xiàng)為片面的夸大其辭，文章層面只能看到language is changing，而沒有任何細(xì)節(jié)提到improving，所以根據(jù)文章第四自然段可以推斷出C為正確選項(xiàng)。
小題1:本題為短語推斷題，解題方法 結(jié)合上下文邏輯關(guān)系，上文提到年輕人會(huì)harming 語言，下文接著說當(dāng)他們成為父母后，they too will think this way .他們也會(huì)這么想，那么中間空出一定是強(qiáng)調(diào)，并凸顯出下文，那么最滿足條件的解釋是A選項(xiàng)。
小題1:本題為主旨大意題，結(jié)合專家的觀點(diǎn)，既引號(hào)中的句子我們可以斷定，全文的中心思想是為了凸顯出netspeak的好，A 選項(xiàng)文章沒有凸顯出widely -used C 選項(xiàng)沒有重點(diǎn)提及到language learning D文章觀點(diǎn)很鮮明，并不是正反觀點(diǎn)的論證，故答案選擇B。

Robots have come a long way since 15th century. We’ve got robots to build cars, carry heavy things, work in dangerous places and explore planets. But things haven’t stopped there.
In 1986, Honda made a robot called ASIMO. And now, it has been developed greatly. Standing at 130cm and weighing 54kg. ASIMO is very much like a small astronaut wearing a bag on the back. And he can walk, flight, climb and run fast. Isn’t it wonderful?
The world’s first robot teacher is Saya. With her human-like face, she can show expressions like happiness, surprise, sadness, dislike, fear and she can even smile or show anger at students, which look much like a real teacher’s. To do this, her rubber skin is pulled from the back with motors inside. And her eyes and mouth have wires(電線) too. She can also say some simple words like “hello” or “thank you”.
In the UK, the development of robots is exciting. The mini-robots will send food, clean floors, collect and throw away waste. These robots can open doors by themselves and stop if anything or anyone is in the way.
These mini-robots are very useful for controlling infection(傳染). Usually clean and dirty work is done by the same person, but here, you’ll have robots that do”dirty work”, like collecting dirty sheets, or taking away hospital waste; and you’ll have robots that do”clean work”, like bringing meals or clean sheets to patients. The robots have separate work so there’s no way for infection, which is great. But of course, robots would not take the piece of humans, but would free up more time for nurses to be with patients.
But if this is what it’s like in 2011, what’s it going to be like to 2021?
小題1:In the following, which is ASIMO’s behavior?
A．Smiling at people, saying “hello”.
B．Sending food or opening doors by himself
C．Fighting, climbing or running fast
D．Collecting waste for patients
小題2:What makes Saya look real?
A．Her face and rich expressionsB．Her clothes and shoes
C．Her walking and running speedD．Her rich knowledge
小題3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Robots have come a long way since 1986.
B．The first robot teacher was made by Honda.
C．Saya looks like a small astronaut.
D．If anyone or anything is in the way, mini-robots will stop.
小題4:The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that _______.
A．nurses would have more free time with patients
B．robots would not take the place of humans
C．dirty and clean work is always done by the same person
D．mini-robots are useful for controlling infection

Most animals protect(保護(hù)) their young until they are old enough to take care of themselves. A fish that swims in the rivers of South America protects its young in a very strange way. This fish, a kind of catfish, uses its mouth to keep its babies from danger(危險(xiǎn)).
When this catfish lays(產(chǎn)卵) its eggs, it carries them in its mouth. From what we know, it does not eat during this time. After the eggs hatch(孵化), the fish swims with its young to protect them. It opens its mouth when danger appears(出現(xiàn)), and the tiny fish swim inside. They swim out only when it’s safe again.

German scientists say that eating a little chocolate every day may keep you away from cardiovascular(心血管的) disease. The scientists have found that chocolate, especially dark chocolate , can help you cut down 39 percent of heart disease, including taking a very small amount . However, the study advises people not to eat too much chocolate, because too much chocolate is bad for our bodies. So the scientists advise people to eat small amount of chocolate instead of sugar or high-fat snacks.
