“Dragon” has long been used as the translation of the Chinese word “Loong”. According to some written records, “Loong” was first translated to “dragon” in The Travels of Marco Polo in 1299. 16 “Loong” is similar to the Western dragon, in a way —for example, both are huge and can fly. But the translation is far from being able to show all the meanings that “Loong” has in Chinese culture. Instead, it makes westerners unable to understand it.
17 As we see in movies, the Western dragon is a kind of fire-breathing cruel animal. It is usually beaten by heroes. However, in China, it’s said that the Chinese dragon can fly and has the magical power to control wind and rain. 18 Chinese use “Loong” as one of their favourite names or decorations.
“Loong” is meaningful and native to China and there aren’t any proper expressions for it in Western languages. 19 They aim to tell people the Chinese dragon is totally different from the fire-breathing one in western ancient stories. No matter which way “Loong” is translated, we must show that “Loong” is warm and joyful. It’s very different from the Western dragon. 20
A．Chinese believe “Loong” can bring them strength and good luck.
B．In what ways is the Chinese dragon quite different from the Western dragon
C．“Dragon” may have been the best word to describe “Loong” at that time.
D．We should always try to explain “Loong” well so that Westerners won’t get lost in the translation.
E．Culture experts believe that it’s just a good idea to bring the new word “Loong” to describe the Chinese dragon.
【答案】16．C 17．B 18．A 19．E 20．D
【导语】本文主要讨论了汉字“龙”的翻译。
16．根据“According to some written records, ‘Loong’ was first translated to “‘dragon’ in The Travels of Marco Polo in 1299. ”可知，根据一些文字记载，“Loong”在1299年的《马可波罗游记》中首次被翻译为“dragon”。选项C“ ‘Dragon’在当时可能是描述‘Loong’的最好的词。”符合语境，故选C。
17．根据“As we see in movies, the Western dragon is a kind of fire-breathing cruel animal. It is usually beaten by heroes. However, in China, it’s said that the Chinese dragon can fly and has the magical power to control wind and rain.”可知，这里介绍的是西方龙和中国龙的差别。选项B“中国龙和西方龙在哪些方面有很大的不同？”符合语境，故选B。
18．根据“Chinese use ‘Loong’ as one of their favourite names or decorations.”可知，中国人把“龙”作为他们最喜欢的名字或装饰品之一。选项A“中国人相信‘龙’能给他们带来力量和好运。”符合语境，故选A。
19．根据“‘Loong’ is meaningful and native to China and there aren’t any proper expressions for it in Western languages.”可知，“Loong”是有意义的，是中国特有的，在西方语言中没有合适的表达。选项E“ 文化专家认为用‘Loong’这个新词来形容中国龙是个不错的主意。”符合语境，故选E。
20．根据“No matter which way ‘Loong’ is translated, we must show that ‘Loong’ is warm and joyful. It’s very different from the Western dragon.”可知，无论“龙”用哪种方式翻译，我们都必须表现出“龙”的温暖和快乐。它和西方的龙很不一样。选项D“ 我们应该尽量‘龙’解释清楚，这样西方人就不会在翻译中迷失。”符合语境，故选D。

Kindness means doing something thoughtful and generous for others without expecting anything in return.

Scientists have discovered that when you are kind to someone, your body is filled with feel-good chemicals.

This can make you feel better about yourself and build friendships.

Try to do something you enjoy, while keeping in mind that you’re doing it for others, and see if you can turn kindness into a habit. 45 Try to find ways each day to be kind to yourself, like reading a book or listening to your favourite song.

Ten years ago, many people thought that the age of physical books was coming to an end. The objects that had been the companions of millions of readers for hundreds of years were about to disappear. Soon, we’d all be reading on little electronic screens and laughing at the memory of places called “libraries” and “bookshops”.
46 At least in the UK, as The Guardian noted, sales of e-books are falling while sales of physical books are rising. More surprisingly, it’s young people who are buying the most physical books. More than 60 percent of 16-to-24-year-olds preferred print books to e-books. The most popular reason given was “I like to hold the product.”
Books become very personal objects to lovers of reading. It often starts with the way they get them. 47 And we carry books around with us everywhere.
If there’s a mark made on the pages from coffee or food, it doesn’t matter. 48 It’s as if readers of physical books make friends with their books.
Of course, some could say that the devices on which people read e-books, like Kindles and iPads are also objects that we like. But it isn’t quite the same. A Kindle can hold as many pieces of writing as a whole library. 49
Physical books are as valuable to some readers as photographs of family members. This “friendship” people develop with books isn’t just about feelings. Research has shown that readers remember more information read from physical books than electronic ones.
However, there’s no doubt e-books are here to stay. 50 But it’s also certain that physical books, which have been in production since the fifteenth century, are here to stay, too.
A．They aren’t simply a “here today, gone tomorrow” thing.
B．These accidents make the book—our book—even more personal.
C．However, it seems not true about the idea of the death of the physical books.
D．Many buyers of books like to write down their names on the inside cover when they’ve bought one.
E．But a story we remember from our time turning its real pages in our favourite armchair remains in our memory forever.
【答案】46．C 47．D 48．B 49．E 50．A
【导语】本文主要介绍了纸质书不会消失的原因。

47．根据“Books become very personal objects to lovers of reading. It often starts with the way they get them”可知，本段介绍书籍从一开始人们拿到它就变得越来越私人化，选项D“许多买书的人在买书时就喜欢在封面里写上自己的名字”符合语境。故选D。
48．根据“If there’s a mark made on the pages from coffee or food, it doesn’t matter. 以及 It’s as if readers of physical books make friends with their books.”可知，把食物或咖啡洒到书上，这些小意外会让读者觉得自己在和书籍就做朋友，由此可推断这也是书籍更私人化的一种现象，选项B“这些意外让书籍——我们的书，甚至更私人化”符合语境。故选B。
49．根据“But it isn’t quite the same. ”可知，此处在说像kindle这样的电子书阅读设备和我们的纸质书的不同，选项E“但是我们能记住的故事，是在我们最喜爱的扶手椅上翻开了真正的一页，而且这个故事一直存在在我们的记忆里“符合语境。故选E。
50．根据“However, there’s no doubt e-books are here to stay. But it’s also certain that physical books, which have been in production since the fifteenth century, are here to stay, too.”可知，不管是电子书还是纸质书都不是简单的今天存在，明天就消失了，纸质书从15世纪就一直存在。选项A“它们不是简单的今天存在，明天就消失的东西”符合语境。故选A。

Imagine you are studying abroad in London. Your parents have sent you a package. You go to the post office and ask the postman when it will arrive. He tells you in “a fortnight”. You walk away shaking your head. 71 If you don’t know what it means you have probably been studying American English, which sometimes uses different words from British English. In the US, instead of saying your package will arrive in “a fortnight”, they would say, in “two weeks”. 72
Besides simple differences like spelling, like “colour” in London compared to “color” in New York, there
are even more different words. For example, In Britain you could be driving your car on a “dual carriageway” while in the US you would be driving down a “freeway” or “highway”. 73 However, in Britain you would ask for a “petrol station”. If you got really confused and wanted to call someone for help at a public telephone, you’d still have problems. 74 It definitely will get you even more confused.
75 You can actually learn a lot from both two languages. It doesn’t matter which English you study, British or American, although people from each country will tell you their language is best. The key though, when writing a paper or sitting an exam, is to pick one and stick with it throughout.
A．In Britain it’s called a “phone box” while in America it is called a “telephone booth”.
B．But these differences make the language more exciting and help you continue to learn.
C．This is just one of the examples of the different words between the two languages.

【分析】文章大意：本文介绍了英式英语和美式英语在用词上的区别。
71．根据上句 You walk away shaking your head. 你摇着头走了。和下句If you don’t know what it means you have probably been studying American English, which sometimes uses different words from British English. 如果你不知道这意味着什么，你可能一直在学习美国英语，它有时使用不同于英国英语的词汇。可知，此空应填你的包裹什么时候到，两周是多少？When will your package arrive and what is a fortnight 故选D。
72．根据上句In the US, instead of saying your package will arrive in “a fortnight”, they would say, in “two weeks”. 在美国，他们不会说你的包裹将在“两周内”到达，而是说，在“两周内”。可知，这只是两种语言之间不同单词的一个例子。This is just one of the examples of the different words between the two languages.故选C。
73．根据上句For example, In Britain you could be driving your car on a “dual carriageway” while in the US you would be driving down a “freeway” or “highway” 例如，在英国，你可以在“双车道”上开车，而在美国，你可以在“高速公路”或“高速公路”上开车。和下句However, in Britain you would ask for a “petrol station” 然而，在英国，你会要求一个“加油站”，可知，更重要的是，如果你需要加油，你最好在美国申请一个“加油站”。What’s more if you need to fill up, you had better ask for a “gas station” in US.故选E。
74．根据上句If you got really confused and wanted to call someone for help at a public telephone, you’d still have problems. 如果你真的很困惑，想打公用电话找人帮忙，你还是会有问题的。和下句It definitely will get you even more confused. 这肯定会让你更加困惑。可知，在英国叫“电话间”，而在美国叫“电话亭”。In Britain it’s called a “phone box” while in America it is called a “telephone booth”故选A。.

“Dragon” has long been used as the translation of the Chinese word “Loong”. According to some written records, “Loong” was first translated to “dragon” in The Travels of Marco Polo in 1299. 16 “Loong” is similar to the Western dragon, in a way —for example, both are huge and can fly. But the translation is far from being able to show all the meanings that “Loong” has in Chinese culture. Instead, it makes westerners unable to understand it.
17 As we see in movies, the Western dragon is a kind of fire-breathing cruel animal. It is usually beaten by heroes. However, in China, it’s said that the Chinese dragon can fly and has the magical power to control wind and rain. 18 Chinese use “Loong” as one of their favourite names or decorations.
“Loong” is meaningful and native to China and there aren’t any proper expressions for it in Western languages. 19 They aim to tell people the Chinese dragon is totally different from the fire-breathing one in western ancient stories. No matter which way “Loong” is translated, we must show that “Loong” is warm and joyful. It’s very different from the Western dragon. 20
A．Chinese believe “Loong” can bring them strength and good luck.
B．In what ways is the Chinese dragon quite different from the Western dragon
C．“Dragon” may have been the best word to describe “Loong” at that time.
D．We should always try to explain “Loong” well so that Westerners won’t get lost in the translation.
E．Culture experts believe that it’s just a good idea to bring the new word “Loong” to describe the Chinese dragon.

Did you know that when you are kind to others, it’s good for your own happiness too! Even small acts of kindness give your confidence a boost (提升). 41
Kindness means doing something thoughtful and generous for others without expecting anything in return. 42 Kindness isn’t just something you do, it also means being considerate of others’ feelings, as well as your own.
Scientists have discovered that when you are kind to someone, your body is filled with feel-good chemicals. The Mental Health Foundation charity says, “ 43 ” For example, when you volunteer for a charity or join a litter pick, you feel part of a community. This can make you feel better about yourself and build friendships.
44 So start with something simple and easy, like messaging a friend you haven’t spoken to for a while.

Ten years ago, many people thought that the age of physical books was coming to an end. The objects that
had been the companions of millions of readers for hundreds of years were about to disappear. Soon, we’d all be reading on little electronic screens and laughing at the memory of places called “libraries” and “bookshops”.
46 At least in the UK, as The Guardian noted, sales of e-books are falling while sales of physical books are rising. More surprisingly, it’s young people who are buying the most physical books. More than 60 percent of 16-to-24-year-olds preferred print books to e-books. The most popular reason given was “I like to hold the product.”
Books become very personal objects to lovers of reading. It often starts with the way they get them. 47 And we carry books around with us everywhere.
If there’s a mark made on the pages from coffee or food, it doesn’t matter. 48 It’s as if readers of physical books make friends with their books.
Of course, some could say that the devices on which people read e-books, like Kindles and iPads are also objects that we like. But it isn’t quite the same. A Kindle can hold as many pieces of writing as a whole library. 49
Physical books are as valuable to some readers as photographs of family members. This “friendship” people develop with books isn’t just about feelings. Research has shown that readers remember more information read from physical books than electronic ones.
However, there’s no doubt e-books are here to stay. 50 But it’s also certain that physical books, which have been in production since the fifteenth century, are here to stay, too.
A．They aren’t simply a “here today, gone tomorrow” thing.
B．These accidents make the book—our book—even more personal.
C．However, it seems not true about the idea of the death of the physical books.
D．Many buyers of books like to write down their names on the inside cover when they’ve bought one.
E．But a story we remember from our time turning its real pages in our favourite armchair remains in our memory forever.

Imagine you are studying abroad in London. Your parents have sent you a package. You go to the post office and ask the postman when it will arrive. He tells you in “a fortnight”. You walk away shaking your head. 71 If you don’t know what it means you have probably been studying American English, which sometimes uses different words from British English.

telephone, you’d still have problems. 74 It definitely will get you even more confused.
