The HR manager interviewed(面试) him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You have passed the test,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and Ill send you the form（表格） to fill in and the date when you may start.” The man replied, “But I dont have a computer, neither an e-mail.” “Im sorry,” said the HR manager. “If you dont have an e-mail, that means you are not living. And anyone who isnt living cannot have the job.”The man left with no hope at all. He didnt know what to do with only $10 in his pocket. He thought and thought. Then he went to the supermarket and bought 10 kilos of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he had 20 dollars.

If you cant, dont feel too bad. The middle school teacher in England who received this as homework couldnt either. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized（电脑化的）communication found on Internet or mobile phones. 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; its great.Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students writing. They fear the language could become corrupted (面目全非的).Everyone should just relax, say linguists (语言学家). 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 and e-mail will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents.Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception（例外）that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when todays teenagers become tomorrows parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become “corrupted”, and that 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 its important that they get across to（沟通）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 wouldnt use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun.（1）What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?A . To give an example of a foreign language.B . To express worries about using Netspeak.C . To show an example of creative methods（方法）.D . To lead in the topic of Netspeak.（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to（按照）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 every language is changing and improving.（3）The expression bet your bottom dollar in Paragraph 5 means “_”.A . be sureB . be surprisedC . think it a pityD . find it interesting（4）What can be the best title for the passage?A . Netspeak: A Widely-used Language on InternetB . Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?C . Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?D . Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages3. （8分）阅读理解 In most parts of the world, many students help their schools make less pollution. They join environment clubs.

Why do your teachers use songs to teach you English? It seems there is a scientific reason for this.Researchers are now studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They find that remembering words in a song is the best way to remember even the most difficult language.“Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are used in a catchy and meaningful way”, said Dr, Karen Ludke. The findings may help those who have difficulties learning foreign languages. On his blog, Dr. Ludke writes, “A listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”Many language teachers know the value of using music and singing. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington, D.C. depends heavily on songs in teaching Chinese. She says, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for kids.”“Sometimes, I think if I were taught English that way, maybe I could speak much better English than now,” Hua Zhuying adds.Our brain likes music, especially for remembering.
