Many language learners think their pronunciation is good enough because their teacher doesn’t correct them too often or because other students can 11 them.
Pronunciation is the area which is 12 the least attention to in language learning. Working on each student’s pronunciation in class is just 13 . Also the students who are 14 at pronunciation may be afraid that it will embarrass their classmates if they help 15 their mistakes.
If you believe your pronunciation is good enough to 16 because it is good enough for your teacher and other students. You may be 17 when you actually go to a foreign country. One of my friends was the best student in his 18 class in Poland. When he went to America he found Americans didn’t understand what he
said.
Your pronunciation may still be quite different from that of a native speaker. If this is the 19 , other people will find it 20 to understand what you’re saying and will not be comfortable with you. 21 , don’t think you can communicate in a foreign language until you’ve tested your skills on real native speakers. 22 for native or near native pronunciation so that people you talk to can communicate with you 23 .

There are proverbs (谚语) around spoken English. We do not normally put them in a composition or letter. Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. Here are a few examples:
Once bitten, twice shy. If a dog bites me, I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it. This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs. If you have been cheated at a shop, you will not go to the same shop again.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. If I am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to catch one bird than to see two birds in a bush but not be able to catch them. Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.
Too many cooks spoil the broth (soup). When too many people do something together, they get in each other’s way and cannot do a good job.
To pour oil on troubled waters. It is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If a ship is in trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people. However, it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.
Don’t be a dog in a manger (槽). It means “Don’t be selfish.” In a stable (马房), the manger is the place where the horse’s food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food. The dog does not want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.
He is sitting on the fence. It means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it. He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides, perhaps waiting to see which side will win.
He who pays the piper calls the tune. A piper is a musician. The man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan, he can say how it will be carried out.
You cannot get blood out of a stone. Means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any
of the things you want. For example, you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man.
30 ．Peter had a bicycle which was much too small for him but he did not want to let his younger brother ride on it. His mother was angry and said to him:“ ”
A ．The early bird gets the worm. B ．You cannot get blood out of a stone.
C ．Don’t be a dog in a manger. D ．Don’t be a horse in the manger.
31．Mr and Mrs Smith had a quarrel. Their friend, Mr Brown, went to talk to them. When he came back, he told his wife that he had been trying to help the Smiths by .
A ．being a dog in a manger B ．not to pour oil on waters
C ．pouring oil on troubled waters D ．getting blood out of a stone

A few years ago, Ruo, a retired esports player of the video game League of Legends, shouted out “Uzi, YYDS”, when watching Uzi, another Chinese professional player, on a live broadcast.
YYDS, the pinyin abbreviation ( 缩写) of the four-Chinese-character expression, literally meaning “eternal god”, illustrates one’s feeling for something or someone godlike and exceptional. The abbreviated slang ( 俚语) reached its peak of popularity at the Tokyo Summer Olympics. Whenever a Chinese player won gold at the Games, the video was filled with YYDS bullet comments.
However the internet slang like “YYDS” has raised concerns among those in education.
Cheng Xudong, an elementary school teacher, says that the evolution of the internet slang is not all fun and carefree. From his daily observations, the boundary between the internet slang and formal language is disappearing, as he has seen that his pupils’ compositions are flooded with abbreviated slangs.
“As a Chinese language teacher, I don’t feel comfortable when I read these abbreviations in their compositions,” he says. “The misuse of homophones (同音异义词) is also causing a big headache, Ya is seen many times intentionally replaced by some pupils using one of the homophones that means ‘duck’,” he adds. “The sentence ‘I am so happy’ literally turns to ‘I am happy duck’ by using the homophone.”
However, many experts and scholars in linguistics believe that internet language is a natural product of the dynamic development of language, and it is not necessary to prohibit it.
The post 80s generation despised the “Martian text ( 火星文)” used by those of post-90s back then, which replaced Chinese characters with substandard ones of foreign scripts. People who do not know how to use it often need to use an online translator to understand it. It was regarded as brain-disabled characters 10 years ago. But later, interestingly, the Martian text disappeared naturally and no one is using it nowadays.
The evolution of language reflects the development of the times as well as the current social and cultural life psychology. In this sense, it is not that this generation of young people do not speak “well”, but in fact, each generation has a generational style of language, says novelist Ma Boyong, when addressing the phenomenon at an interview.
33 ．What does the author want to show by mentioning YYDS
A ．The extensive use of Chinese internet slang.
B ．The negative influence of Chinese internet slang,
C ．The use of Chinese internet slang in video games.
D ．The misunderstanding about Chinese internet slang.
34 ．What is a matter of concern according to Cheng Xudong
A ．Some of his pupils use the internet slang at will.
B ．Some of his pupils cannot distinguish homophones.
C ．Some of his pupils cannot express themselves with right words.
D ．Some of his pupils make inappropriate changes to the internet slang.
35 ．What does the underlined word “despised” in the last but one paragraph probably mean A ．Thought highly of. B ．Kept up with.
C ．Looked down upon. D ．Looked forward to.
36 ．What does Ma Boyong think of Chinese internet slang
A ．Misleading. B ．Meaningless. C ．Beneficial. D ．Acceptable.
D
In American English, when someone says he has to “face the music”, it does not mean he is going to a musical performance or a concert.
Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful sports car. She says, “Please do not drive it. It is an extremely fast car.” But you want to pretend the car is yours. So, you drive it around one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. When you friend returns, you must “face the music”. It can be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her car or both.
In 1851, the writer James Fenimore explained “face the music”. In a theater, the orchestra (管弦乐队) sits in front of the stage. So,the actors on stage face the musicians. Many actors are very nervous, a condition called stage fright. They may want to run away. “Facing the music” means accepting it and not surrendering (屈服) to it.
Word experts say “face the music” may come from the army. A soldier could be forced out of the horse cavalry (骑兵团) because of the serious mistake in the war. The army drummers would play a sad beat. The soldier would be seated backward on a horse and face the music of the drums.
To “take your medicine” is to accept the bad result from something you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it,” he means you create a bad situation and you must deal with it. But it's fun to “lie in the bed and enjoy music”. “Pay the piper” is also similar to “face the music” .
37 ．In the situation of Para. 2, “you must face the music” means .
A ．you can go to a concert B ．you can refuse to repair the car
C ．you can pretend the car is yours D ．you have to accept the bad result
38 ．What does the underlined word “it” in Para. 3 refer to
A ．Theater. B ．Stage fright. C ．The stage. D ．The orchestra.
39 ．According to the text, the soldier .
A ．wanted to be a cavalry officer B ．would play the drum in the army
C ．must have done something terrible D ．would be punished by the army drummers
40 ．Which of the following is different from the other three expressions
A ．Pay the piper. B ．Take your medicine.
C ．Lie in the bed and enjoy music D ．You made your bed. Now lie in it.

五、语法填空
Nowadays, many people are learning a foreign language, but few people realize that learning a foreign language is a demanding process and it can be easy to feel stuck at any stage. This may be at the 46 (begin) when you’ve just started, in the middle once you’ve mastered the basics or even much later when you are approaching an 47 (advance) level of fluency( 流 利 ). Sometimes these in-between stages can be challenging and frustrating, 48 it is important to always remind yourself how far you’ve come.
Maybe you 49 (master) basic grammar a long time ago, but as things such as vocabulary and idioms have improved, the parts you learned at the beginning have started to confuse you.
50 my case, I learned from this that 51 is OK to go back and revise simple things like grammar, for it is natural that you might slip on the basics.
You might assume that living abroad is enough for you 52 (progress) to fluency. Of course, daily interaction with natives is one of the best 53 (way) of improving, but language learning is a huge commitment, and 54 you don’t work hard to maintain it, you can end up being stuck at the same level, or even 55 (bad), move backwards.

There are proverbs (谚语) around spoken English. We do not normally put them in a composition or letter. Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. Here are a few examples:
Once bitten, twice shy. If a dog bites me, I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it. This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs. If you have been cheated at a shop, you will not go to the same shop again.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. If I am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to catch one bird than to see two birds in a bush but not be able to catch them. Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.
Too many cooks spoil the broth (soup). When too many people do something together, they get in each other’s way and cannot do a good job.
To pour oil on troubled waters. It is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If a ship is in trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people. However, it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.
Don’t be a dog in a manger (槽). It means “Don’t be selfish.” In a stable (马房), the manger is the place where the horse’s food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food. The dog does not want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.
He is sitting on the fence. It means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it. He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides, perhaps waiting to see which side will win.
He who pays the piper calls the tune. A piper is a musician. The man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan, he can say how it will be carried out.
You cannot get blood out of a stone. Means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want. For example, you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man.
30 ．Peter had a bicycle which was much too small for him but he did not want to let his younger brother ride on it. His mother was angry and said to him:“ ”
A ．The early bird gets the worm. B ．You cannot get blood out of a stone.

(不要占着茅坑不拉屎。它的意思是“不要自私”。在马厩里， 马槽是放马粮的地方。有时 狗会睡在马槽里， 当马来取食物时， 狗会吠叫。狗不想吃马槽里的干草， 但它也不让马吃)”可推知， 彼 得有一辆自行车， 对他来说太小了， 但他不想让他的弟弟骑。他的妈妈很生气， 对他说“Don’t be a dog in a manger.” ，暗示他自私。故选 C。

A few years ago, Ruo, a retired esports player of the video game League of Legends, shouted out “Uzi, YYDS”, when watching Uzi, another Chinese professional player, on a live broadcast.
YYDS, the pinyin abbreviation ( 缩写) of the four-Chinese-character expression, literally meaning “eternal god”, illustrates one’s feeling for something or someone godlike and exceptional. The abbreviated slang ( 俚语) reached its peak of popularity at the Tokyo Summer Olympics. Whenever a Chinese player won gold at the Games, the video was filled with YYDS bullet comments.
However the internet slang like “YYDS” has raised concerns among those in education.
Cheng Xudong, an elementary school teacher, says that the evolution of the internet slang is not all fun and carefree. From his daily observations, the boundary between the internet slang and formal language is disappearing, as he has seen that his pupils’ compositions are flooded with abbreviated slangs.
“As a Chinese language teacher, I don’t feel comfortable when I read these abbreviations in their compositions,” he says. “The misuse of homophones (同音异义词) is also causing a big headache, Ya is seen many times intentionally replaced by some pupils using one of the homophones that means ‘duck’,” he adds. “The sentence ‘I am so happy’ literally turns to ‘I am happy duck’ by using the homophone.”
However, many experts and scholars in linguistics believe that internet language is a natural product of the dynamic development of language, and it is not necessary to prohibit it.
The post 80s generation despised the “Martian text ( 火星文)” used by those of post-90s back then, which replaced Chinese characters with substandard ones of foreign scripts. People who do not know how to use it often need to use an online translator to understand it. It was regarded as brain-disabled characters 10 years ago. But later, interestingly, the Martian text disappeared naturally and no one is using it nowadays.
The evolution of language reflects the development of the times as well as the current social and cultural life psychology. In this sense, it is not that this generation of young people do not speak “well”, but in fact, each generation has a generational style of language, says novelist Ma Boyong, when addressing the phenomenon at an interview.
33 ．What does the author want to show by mentioning YYDS
A ．The extensive use of Chinese internet slang.
B ．The negative influence of Chinese internet slang,
C ．The use of Chinese internet slang in video games.
D ．The misunderstanding about Chinese internet slang.
34 ．What is a matter of concern according to Cheng Xudong
A ．Some of his pupils use the internet slang at will.
B ．Some of his pupils cannot distinguish homophones.
C ．Some of his pupils cannot express themselves with right words.
D ．Some of his pupils make inappropriate changes to the internet slang.
35 ．What does the underlined word “despised” in the last but one paragraph probably mean A ．Thought highly of. B ．Kept up with.
C ．Looked down upon. D ．Looked forward to.
36 ．What does Ma Boyong think of Chinese internet slang
A ．Misleading. B ．Meaningless. C ．Beneficial. D ．Acceptable.
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了网络俚语被广泛使用的现象以及不同人群对此的态度。 33 ．【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“A few years ago, Ruo, a retired esports player of the video game League of Legends, shouted out ‘Uzi, YYDS’, when watching Uzi, another Chinese professional player, on a live broadcast.(几年前， 曾在电子游戏《英雄联盟》工作的退役电竞选手 Ruo 在观看另一名中国职业选手 Uzi 的 直播时， 大喊‘Uzi, YYDS’)”和第二段中“The abbreviated slang (俚语) reached its peak of popularity at the Tokyo Summer Olympics. Whenever a Chinese player won gold at the Games, the video was filled with YYDS bullet comments.(这种缩写的俚语在东京夏季奥运会上达到了流行的顶峰。每当中国运动员在奥运会上获得金牌时， 视频里就充斥着 YYDS 的子弹评论)”可知， 作者提到 YYDS 是为了表明中文网络俚语的广泛使用。故选 A 。 34 ．【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中“From his daily observations, the boundary between the internet slang and formal language is disappearing, as he has seen that his pupils’ compositions are flooded with abbreviated slangs.(从他的日常观察来看，网络俚语和正式语言之间的界限正在消失，因为他看到他的学生的作文中充 斥着缩写俚语)”可知， Cheng Xudong 的担忧是他的一些学生随意使用网络俚语，故选 A。
35 ．【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“It was regarded as brain-disabled characters 10 years ago.(它在 10 年 前被认为是脑残文)”可推知，画线词所在句意为：80 后瞧不起 90 后使用的“火星文” ，火星文是用不合格的 外国文字代替汉字， despised 意为“鄙视，看不起” 。故选 C。
36 ．【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“In this sense, it is not that this generation of young people do not speak ‘well’, but in fact, each generation has a generational style of language, says novelist Ma Boyong, when addressing the phenomenon at an interview.(小说家马伯庸在接受采访时谈到这一现象时表示，从这个意义上 说， 并不是这一代年轻人说得不‘好’，而是事实上， 每一代人都有自己的语言风格)”可知， 马伯庸认为每一 代人都有自己的语言风格，所以他认为中文网络俚语是可接受的，故选 D。

In American English, when someone says he has to “face the music”, it does not mean he is going to a musical performance or a concert.
Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful sports car. She says, “Please do not drive it. It is an extremely fast car.” But you want to pretend the car is yours. So, you drive it around one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. When you friend returns, you must “face the music”. It can be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her car or both.
In 1851, the writer James Fenimore explained “face the music”. In a theater, the orchestra (管弦乐队) sits in front of the stage. So,the actors on stage face the musicians. Many actors are very nervous, a condition called stage fright. They may want to run away. “Facing the music” means accepting it and not surrendering (屈服) to it.
Word experts say “face the music” may come from the army. A soldier could be forced out of the horse cavalry (骑兵团) because of the serious mistake in the war. The army drummers would play a sad beat. The soldier would be seated backward on a horse and face the music of the drums.
To “take your medicine” is to accept the bad result from something you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it,” he means you create a bad situation and you must deal with it. But it's fun to “lie in the bed and enjoy music”. “Pay the piper” is also similar to “face the music” .
37 ．In the situation of Para. 2, “you must face the music” means .
A ．you can go to a concert B ．you can refuse to repair the car
C ．you can pretend the car is yours D ．you have to accept the bad result
38 ．What does the underlined word “it” in Para. 3 refer to
A ．Theater. B ．Stage fright. C ．The stage. D ．The orchestra.
39 ．According to the text, the soldier .
A ．wanted to be a cavalry officer B ．would play the drum in the army
C ．must have done something terrible D ．would be punished by the army drummers
40 ．Which of the following is different from the other three expressions
A ．Pay the piper. B ．Take your medicine.
C ．Lie in the bed and enjoy music D ．You made your bed. Now lie in it.
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英语中有很多听上去很愉快实际却并非如此的短语。“face the music” 就是一个很好的例子。
37 ．【答案】D
【解析】词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“It can be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her car or
both.(它可以是失去她的友谊，或支付她的汽车修理费，或两者都有)”可知，当你的朋友回来时，你必 须要面对现实，接受你的行为造成的不良影响。故选 D。
38 ．【答案】B
【解析】词句猜测题。根据上文“Many actors are very nervous, a condition called stage fright. They may want to run away.(许多演员都很紧张， 这种状况被称为怯场。他们可能想逃跑)”可知， “face the music”意味着 接受它，而不是向它投降。划线词 it 指代上文的“stage fright”。故选 B。
39 ．【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“A soldier could be forced out of the horse cavalry (骑兵团) because of the serious mistake in the war.(一个士兵可能会因为战争中的严重错误而被赶出骑兵部队)”可 知，根据文章，这个士兵一定做了什么可怕的事。故选 C。
40 ．【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“But it's fun to “lie in the bed and enjoy music”.(但是“躺在床上 享受音乐”很有趣)”可知，躺在床上听音乐是一种享受，与其他三个表达不一样。故选 C。

Chinese characters are one of the most ancient languages in the world. There are many reasons why it is becoming increasingly popular. First, the Chinese writing system is of great importance in connecting the past
and the present. Meanwhile, many foreign students are beginning to appreciate China’s culture and history
through it.
There are many reasons why learning Chinese is a good choice. To begin with, Chinese acts as one of the official languages of the United Nations, which means better job chances in the future. What’s more, learning Chinese can help appreciate the charm of the language so that people can see the world from a different point
of view.
However, Chinese is one of the most difficult languages in the world, which means a big challenge. For
example, the tone is quite different from English pronunciation so that you can not guess a word’s tone
through its character. It means you should write the pinyin with the words and practice them time by time.
Faced with so many difficulties, you can record your voice so that you can listen to yourself and compare your tones with the radio host’s.Also, listening to Chinese radio programmes helps you get used to how fast native
speakers talk.
As China plays a greater role in global affairs, an increasing number of foreign learners are beginning to
appreciate Chinese history, culture and beautiful scenery through learning Chinese.
