Everyone’s at it, even my neighbors. I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn’t done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction（网上拍卖）.
Buying for Beginners
Sign up on www. eBay. co. uk. Most items (e.g. tables, computers and books) ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with “Buy It Now ” and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away.
If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids (出价) for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish, you get an email telling you whether you have won the item.
How to Pay
Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a check or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card.
Selling Made Simple
If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends’ advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid.
The big Things in Life
It’s easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collectively sent by deliverymen. Check the ways of delivery before you bid.
1. What is the passage mainly about
A. How to make payment online. B. Ways of making delivery online.
C. How to use an online-auction system. D. Advantages of an online auction system.
2. After bidding for an item, a buyer ________.
A. has chances to make higher bids B. will get what he wants in ten days
C. should make payment immediately D. may check its picture and description
3. The easiest way of making payment mentioned in the passage is ________.
A. through a local banking system B. by sending the money to the seller
C. through an online payment system D. by paying the deliveryman directly
B
Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions Gone was my father’s critical (挑别的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around What had held him back before
The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

Email has brought the art of letter writing back to life, but some experts think the resulting spread of bad English does more harm than good.
Email is a form of communication that is changing, for the worse, the way we write and use language, say some communication researchers. It is also changing the way we interact(交流) and build relationship. These are a few of the recently recognized features of email, say experts, which should cause individuals and organizations to rethink the way they use email.
“Email has increased the spread of careless writing habits,” says Naomi Baron, a professor of linguistics(语言学) at an American university. She says the poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure of emails reflect(反映) a growing unconcern about the way we write.
Baron argues that we shouldn’t forgive and forget the poor writing often shown in email. “The more we use email and its tasteless writing, the more it becomes the normal way of writing,” the professor says.
Others say that despite its poor writing, email has finished what several generations of English teachers couldn’t: it has made writing fashionable again.
“Email is a critical new communication technology.” says Ian Lancashire, a professor of English at Toronto University. “It fills the gap between spoken language and the formal methods of writing that existed before email. It is the purest form of written speech.”
Lancashire says email has the mysterious ability to get people who are usually scared by writing to get their thoughts flowing easily onto a blank screen. He says this is because of email’s close similarity to speech. “It’s like a circle of four or five people around a campfire,” he says.
Still, he accepts that this new-found freedom to express themselves often gets people into trouble. Emails sent in a day almost exceed(超过) the number of letters mailed in a year. But more people are recognizing the content of a typical email message is not often exact.
8. From what Baron says in the third paragraph we can see that ________.
A. careless people use email more than careful people
B. email requires people to change their native language
C. professors in universities don’t need to use email
D people communicate by email full of mistakes
9. What does the underlined word “it” (in Paragraph 4) refer to
A. The poor writing. B. Email.
C. The good writing. D. A new communication technology.
10. In Lancashire’s opinion, email is a wonderful technology because _______.
A. it can be useful all over the world
B. it is the fastest way to communicate
C. we can express ourselves in a free way
D. we can save a lot of paper
11. This passage mainly shows us that ______.
A. people should stop using email to communicate
B. experts hold different opinions about email writing
C. Americans only use email to communicate
D. email makes people lose interest in English
D
Part of the reason that English has grown as a world language is that it easily adjusts to (适应) change. However, this means that what one was taught as a child in school may be out of date many years later. When words or phrases change, it can make speakers feel “wrong” because they were taught that something else was “right.”
One example of this is a term connected to school itself. Today, it is common for people to say that they “graduated high school” or college. The word “graduate” has two common meanings. One is to mark off a series. The other meaning is closely related. As you move through school, you cross off a series of achievements: grade school, middle school, high school, and college. So, in a way, school itself is “graduated.”
So, when people used to speak of getting a degree, they said they “graduated from college.” “To graduate college” would have meant to mark it off by year — the first year, the second year etc. Similarly, “to graduate to college” would have meant to complete high school and move up to the next level.
But as happens often in English, when people understand your meaning, smaller words can disappear. “I graduated college” is now easy to say. This may distress people who were taught that you had to use “from” to be correct. But this is not the first time this phrase has been simplified. It used to be that you said, “I was graduated from college，” instead of, “I graduated from college.”
You can't know what English will keep and what it will lose. Who could imagine that we would still say we “dial” a phone number when we now push buttons on our cellphone Yet we know what it means.
12. What do we know about the word “graduate”？
A. It has two similar meanings.
B. There was a change in its meanings.
C. It had nothing to do with school at first.
D. It got an extra meaning during its development.
13. Which of the following is the newest usage of “graduate”？
A. I was graduated from college. B. I was to graduate to college.
C. I graduated from college. D. I graduated college.
14. The underlined word “distress” probably means “________”．
A. change B. correct C. worry D. hurt
15. What's the best title for the text
A. Right or wrong
B. Words come and go in English
C. English is a very changeable language
D. How should English be taught in school

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was.

【5题详解】

Email has brought the art of letter writing back to life, but some experts think the resulting spread of bad English does more harm than good.
Email is a form of communication that is changing, for the worse, the way we write and use language, say some communication researchers. It is also changing the way we interact(交流) and build relationship. These are a few of the recently recognized features of email, say experts, which should cause individuals and organizations to rethink the way they use email.
“Email has increased the spread of careless writing habits,” says Naomi Baron, a professor of linguistics(语言学) at an American university. She says the poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure of emails reflect(反映) a growing unconcern about the way we write.
Baron argues that we shouldn’t forgive and forget the poor writing often shown in email. “The more we use email and its tasteless writing, the more it becomes the normal way of writing,” the professor says.
Others say that despite its poor writing, email has finished what several generations of English teachers couldn’t: it has made writing fashionable again.
“Email is a critical new communication technology.” says Ian Lancashire, a professor of English at Toronto University. “It fills the gap between spoken language and the formal methods of writing that existed before email. It is the purest form of written speech.”
Lancashire says email has the mysterious ability to get people who are usually scared by writing to get their thoughts flowing easily onto a blank screen. He says this is because of email’s close similarity to speech. “It’s like a circle of four or five people around a campfire,” he says.
Still, he accepts that this new-found freedom to express themselves often gets people into trouble. Emails sent in a day almost exceed(超过) the number of letters mailed in a year. But more people are recognizing the content of a typical email message is not often exact.
8. From what Baron says in the third paragraph we can see that ________.
A. careless people use email more than careful people
B. email requires people to change their native language
C. professors in universities don’t need to use email
D. people communicate by email full of mistakes
9. What does the underlined word “it” (in Paragraph 4) refer to
A. The poor writing. B. Email.
C. The good writing. D. A new communication technology.
10. In Lancashire’s opinion, email is a wonderful technology because _______.
A. it can be useful all over the world
B. it is the fastest way to communicate
C. we can express ourselves in a free way
D. we can save a lot of paper
11 This passage mainly shows us that ______.
A. people should stop using email to communicate
B. experts hold different opinions about email writing
C. Americans only use email to communicate
D. email makes people lose interest in English
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。本文介绍了电子邮件使写信这种古老而传统的沟通方式又恢复了生机，但用电子邮件写信也带来了一些新的问题，专家们对此也有不同的看法。本文就陈述了这些不同的观点。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She says the poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure of emails reflect(反映) a growing unconcern about the way we write.（她说邮件糟糕的拼写、语法、发音和句子结构反映了我们对书写越来越不重视）”可知，人们用满是错误的邮件进行交流。故选D。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“Baron argues that we shouldn’t forgive and forget the poor writing often shown in email. The more we use email and its tasteless writing, the more it becomes the normal way of writing,（巴伦认为，我们不应该原谅和忘记电子邮件中经常出现的糟糕的文字。我们使用电子邮件的次数越多，写得越乏味，它就越成为正常的写作方式） ”可知，it指the poor writing。故选A
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“this new-found freedom to express themselves（这个自由表达自己的新发现）”可以看出Lancashire的观点，他认为电子信件可以使人自由地表达思想和情感，类似于口头语言。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段“Email has brought the art of letter writing back to life, but some experts think the resulting spread of bad English does more harm than good.（邮件赋予了书信写作新生命，但一些专家认为由此造成的坏英语的传播弊大于利）”及第五段的“Others say that despite its poor writing, email has finished what several generations of English teachers couldn’t: it has made writing fashionable again.（也有人说，尽管电子邮件的写作能力很差，但它已经完成了几代英语教师无法完成的任务：它使写作再次成为时尚）”可知，本文阐述了专家们对电子邮件的不同的观点。故选B。
D
Part of the reason that English has grown as a world language is that it easily adjusts to (适应) change. However, this means that what one was taught as a child in school may be out of date many years later. When words or phrases change, it can make speakers feel “wrong” because they were taught that something else was “right.”
One example of this is a term connected to school itself. Today, it is common for people to say that they “graduated high school” or college. The word “graduate” has two common meanings. One is to mark off a series. The other meaning is closely related. As you move through school, you cross off a series of achievements: grade school, middle school, high school, and college. So, in a way, school itself is “graduated.”
So, when people used to speak of getting a degree, they said they “graduated from college.” “To graduate college” would have meant to mark it off by year — the first year, the second year etc. Similarly, “to graduate to college” would have meant to complete high school and move up to the next level.
But as happens often in English, when people understand your meaning, smaller words can disappear. “I graduated college” is now easy to say. This may distress people who were taught that you had to use “from” to be correct. But this is not the first time this phrase has been simplified. It used to be that you said, “I was graduated from college，” instead of, “I graduated from college.”
You can't know what English will keep and what it will lose. Who could imagine that we would still say we “dial” a phone number when we now push buttons on our cellphone Yet we know what it means.
12. What do we know about the word “graduate”？
A. It has two similar meanings.
B. There was a change in its meanings.
C. It had nothing to do with school at first.
D. It got an extra meaning during its development.
13. Which of the following is the newest usage of “graduate”？
A. I was graduated from college. B. I was to graduate to college.
C. I graduated from college. D. I graduated college.
14. The underlined word “distress” probably means “________”．
A. change B. correct C. worry D. hurt
15 What's the best title for the text
A. Right or wrong
B. Words come and go in English
C. English is a very changeable language
D. How should English be taught in school
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了英语的语言随着时代在不断变化，并以graduate为例进行了论证。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The word “graduate” has two common meanings. One is to mark off a series. The other meaning is closely related.”(毕业生”这个词有两个常见的意思。一种是标记一个系列。另一个意思是密切相关的。)可知，graduate一词有相近的两个意思。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“One example of this is a term connected to school itself. Today, it is common for people to say that they “graduated high school” or college.”(一个例子就是与学校本身有关的术语。今天，人们经常说他们“graduated high school”或college。)可知，graduate的最新用法是graduated high school或graduated college。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线后的“who were taught that you had to use “from” to be correct.”(他们被教导必须使用“from”才能正确)可知，对于那些学校学的是I graduated from college的人而言，他们认为I graduated college是错误的说法，但是现在人们却经常这样使用，所以可推断这会让他们感到不安，故distress与worry的意思接近。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段“Part of the reason that English has grown as a world language is that it easily adjusts to (适应) change.”(英语成为世界语言的部分原因是它很容易适应变化。)点出了英语在发展变化；第二段至第四段举例说明了graduate的用法变化，最后一段的“You can't know what English will keep and what it will lose. ”(你不知道英语会保留什么，会失去什么。)也点出了文章的主旨，所以B选项“英语中此消彼长的词汇”是最合适的标题。故选B项。
