attempting to reach the south polethe team was made up of ordinary women from all around the world, from jamaica, india, singapore and cyprus, many of whom had never seen snow, or spent a night in a tent before we set offour aim was to be the most international all-female team to reach the south poleas i watched, the rest of the team marched on, unaware that i was not with themby the time i

doesnt work out, youll have something to rely on. mary responded in typical teenage fashion. from that moment on, the very last thing i ever thought about doing was taking a typing course, she recalls. the show business thing worked out, of course. in her career, mary won many awards. only recently, when she began to write growing up again, did she regret ignoring her mom, i dont know how to use a computer, she admits. unlike her 1995 autobiography, after all, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). all the money from the book is intended for the juvenile diabetes research foundation (jdrf), an organization she serves as international chairman. i felt there was a need for a book like this, she says. i didnt want to lecture, but i wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when were self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease. but she hasnt always practiced what she teaches. in her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. first, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. in a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). years would pass before she realized she had to grow up again and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet. although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. everybody on earth can ask, why me? about something or other, she insists. it doesnt do any good. no one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. sometimes we can make things better by helping others. ive come to realize the importance of that as ive grown up this second time. i want to speak out and be as helpful as i can be.61. why did mary feel regretful?a. she didnt achieve her ambition. b. she didnt follow her mothers advice.c. she didnt complete her high school. d. she didnt take care of her mother.62. we can know that before 1995 mary a. had two books published b. received many career awardsc. knew how to use a computer d. supported the jdrf by writing 63. marys second book growing

this sentence from an american friends email, i laughed. i thought it was a perfect example of chinglish.obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the chinese greetings with a ruled english grammar and structure! later on, my friend told me that it is a standard american greeting. i was too thrilled to believe her. her words could not convince me at all. so i did a research on . to my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “long time no see.” this sentence has been widely used in emails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible places. though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that americans use daily. ironically, if you type this phrase in microsoft word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.nobody knows the origin of this chinglish sentence. some people believe that it came from charlie chans movies. in the 1930s, hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous chinese detective named “charlie chan” on wide screens. detective chan likes to teach americans some chinese wisdom by quoting confucius. “long time no see” was his trademark. soon after charlie chan, “long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies. some scholars refer to america as a huge pot of stew. all kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together, and they change the color and taste of each other. american chinese, though a minority ethnic(少数民族的成员) group in the united states, is also contributing some changes to the stew! language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew.you can have some other examples than adoptions from chinese, such as pizza from italian, susi from japanese, and dj vu from french etc. there is a long list! americans do not just simply borrow something from others. they will modify it and make it their own, so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant, or to buy a bottle of iced chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store. since americans appreciate chinese culture more and more nowadays, i believe more chinese words will become american english in the future. in this way the american stew keeps adding richness and flavor.66. the writer himself felt surprised at _. a. the chinglish expression “long time no see” b. “long time no see” used as standard american englishc. so many literal translation of the expressions used in americad. finding out americans use the expression every day67. the word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means _.a. mixed culture b. confucius wordsc. a kind of cooked dish d. american changing literature68. according to the passage, it can be inferred that _.a. detectives translate the phrase “long time no see”b. hollywood made “long time no see” popularc. the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languagesd. cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew69. the main idea of the passage is that _.a. some chinese expressions are introduced into englishb. youll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in americac. some american expressions can be used in chinad. american english keep being enriched from different cultures70. according to the passage, which of the following statements is not true?a. informal language sometimes doesnt go with grammar and structure.b. languages are always ruled by grammar and structure.c. “long time no see” has been used in at least four media mentioned in the passage.d. there are four languages mentioned to be adopted in the american stew. 20.a new study has found some secrets of peoples understanding of large numbers.researchers studied a group of people who were born deaf and never learned any spoken language or a formal sign language, but they have developed a gesture system to communicate with people around them. the gestures let them express approximate amounts, but not exact numbers. “up to three, theyre fine,” says elizabet spaepen, a researcher at the university of chicago and an author of the study. “but past three, they start to fall apart.” in one test, spaepen would knock her fist against a study participants fist a certain number of times and then ask them to respond with the same number of knocks. “if i were to knock four times on their fist, they might knock on my fist five times,” she says.the finding offers a clue to just how much language affects our understanding of numbers. that has been a big question since 2004, when other researchers published data on two tribes in the amazon whose members also lack words for big numbers. “what they have are words that mean one and two,” spaepen says, “and then they have a word to mean many.”members of the amazonian tribes also had trouble matching numbers larger than three or four. but some scholars felt that these earlier studies failed to prove that language was the reason. they pointed out that the tribes lived in groups that didnt use money and had no need for exact numbers.the new research appears to answer that criticism. “it proves that the kinds of problems in understanding numbers that we found in the amazonian tribes are not due to just the cultural or environmental circumstances,” says peter gordon of columbia university, one of the researchers involved in the earlier studies.71. the participants of the new study _.a. cannot communicate with one another b. use a formal sign language to express numbersc. have some physical disability d. come from a distant tribe72. according to the passage, the new study _.a. ignored the cultural influence on the participantsb. is doubted by many peoplec. has found it is harder to learn numbers than learning a sign languaged. has shown that our understanding of numbers is influenced by our mastering of language.73. the tribes involved in earlier studies _.a. often dealt with big numbers. b. didnt use money in their daily lifec. didnt have their own language d. often made trouble for the researchers74. what can we learn from the last paragr
