“Long time no see.” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s e-mail, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.
Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation (直译) of the Chinese greeting with wrong English grammar! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her. Her words were unbelievable at all. So I did research on . To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see.” Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Interestingly, 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 Chan’s movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see.” was his symbol. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see.” became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.
Some scholars compare America to a huge melting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together and they change the color and taste of each other. Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.
You can have some examples from other countries, such as pizza from Italian, sushi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Since Americans admire Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way, the American’s melting pot keeps adding richness.
28．Why did the writer himself feel surprised
A．“Long time no see.” is a Chinglish expression.
B．He’s found Americans use the expression formally every day.
C．So many literal translations of expressions are used in America.
D．“Longtime no see.” is used as a standard American English greeting.
29．What do the underlined words “a huge melting pot” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．A large boiling cooker. B．Cross-cultural mixture.
C．A kind of cooked dish. D．Confucius’s famous words.
30．What can be inferred from the passage
A．Detectives translated the phrase “Long time no see.”
B．Cultures cannot be changed in the huge melting pot.
C．Hollywood probably made “Longtime no see.” popular.
D．The huge melting pot greatly affects all kinds of languages.
31．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Some American expressions can be used in China.
B．Americans have a strong interest in Chinese culture.
C．American English keeps being enriched by different cultures.
D．Some Chinese daily expressions are introduced into English.
The sun is setting, brightening your kids’ faces as they play in the waves. You reach for your phone for this perfect moment. But before you do, here’s a bit of surprising science: Taking photos is not the perfect way to keep memory as you think.
Taking too many pictures could actually harm the brain’s ability to keep memories, says Elizabeth Loftus, a psychology professor at the University of California, Irvine. So we get the photo but kind of lose the memory.
Photography “outsources” memories. It works in two ways: We either shake off the responsibility of remembering moments when taking pictures, or we’re so distracted by the process that we miss the moment altogether.
The first explanation is the loss of memory. People know that their camera is recording that moment, so they don’t try to remember. Similarly, if you write down someone’s phone number, you’re less likely to remember it offhand because your brain tells you there’s just no need. That’s all well and good—until that piece of paper goes missing.
The other is distraction. We’re distracted by the process of taking a photo how we hold our phone, composing the photo, such as smiling faces, the background to our liking and clear image, all of which uses up our attention that could otherwise help us memorize.
However, taking photos can benefit memory — when done mindfully. While taking a photo may be distracting, the act of preparation by focusing on visual details around has some upsides. When people take the time to zoom in (拉近镜头) on specific things, memories become strengthened.
Another benefit is that we recall moments more accurately with the photos. Memory has been reshaped with the help of new information and new experiences. Thus, photos or videos help us recall moments as if they really happened.
Memories die away without a visual record backing them up. Therefore, a photo is an excellent tool to help remember when done purposefully, which is worth exploring further.
32．What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A．To introduce the topic of the passage.
B．To call on readers not to take photos.
C．To show the interest in taking photos.
D．To explain how to take perfect photos.
33．Why does photography “outsource” memories
A．Photos are more detailed than memories.
B．Many sources influence people’s memories.
C．People depend more on photos to remember.
D．Taking photos is helpful for us to memorize.
34．What will be discussed next
A．Situations when taking photos is better.
B．When distraction is most likely to happen.
C．How to use photo-taking to memorize better.
D．How to stay focused while taking photos.
35．What may be a suitable title for the text
A．Remember the moment and take photos properly.
B．Fewer photos, stronger memories.
C．Photos’ effects on memory recall.
D．Better skills, sharper memory.

It’s not that you’re not smart. 36 If you want to study in an effective way, below are studying methods that may be suitable for you.

Pick possible test topics and hold discussions to gain understanding of these topics in different ways.
Use flashcards. Flashcards are a great way to memorize important information! To make it more fun, write your flashcards using colorful pens and mark important parts.
39 I personally use learning apps, where I can find very useful resources for foreign language studies. I’ve also used websites in the past. A lot of sites offer expensive versions, so be aware of which features are free.
Try using some of these methods when you study for your next test, and see whether you’ve improved. Studying can be boring. 40 Don’t lose motivation, and you’ll succeed!
A．Use online resources.
B．Start studying in a more efficient way.
C．It’s just that the way you study is wrong.
D．This stops us from dealing with information.
E．It’s of great help to hear other people’s thoughts.

Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see.” became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.(20世纪30年代，好莱坞电影制作人成功地在大银幕上塑造了一位享誉全球的华裔侦探“陈查理”。陈侦探喜欢引用孔子的话来教美国人一些中国智慧。“Longtime no see.”是他的象征。在陈查理说“Longtime no see.”后由于这些电影的流行，在美国成为一个流行的表达)”可推知，可能是好莱坞让“Longtime no see.”变得受欢迎。故选C。
31．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“You can have some examples from other countries, such as pizza from Italian, sushi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Since Americans admire Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way, the American’s melting pot keeps adding richness.(你可以从其他国家找到一些例子，比如意大利的披萨，日本的寿司，法国的déjà vu等等。名单很长！由于现在美国人越来越欣赏中国文化，我相信将来会有更多的汉语词汇成为美式英语。通过这种方式，美国的大熔炉不断增添丰富)”结合文章主要通过“Long time no see”这一表达是标准的美式问候语，说明了美国的语言融合了不同的文化。可知，这篇文章的主旨是不同的文化不断丰富着美国英语。故选C。

【导语】这篇文章是一篇说明文，主要探讨了拍照对记忆的影响，包括其潜在的负面影响和正面效益。
32．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The sun is setting, brightening your kids’ faces as they play in the waves. You reach for your phone for this perfect moment. But before you do, here’s a bit of surprising science: Taking photos is not the perfect way to keep memory as you think.(夕阳西下，孩子们在浪花中玩耍，他们的脸庞被映照得格外明亮。你伸手去拿手机，想要记录下这美好的瞬间。但在此之前，先了解一下这个令人惊讶的科学发现：拍照并不是你想象中保留记忆的完美方式。)”可知，第一段的主要目的是引出文章的主题，即拍照对记忆的影响。故选A。

34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, a photo is an excellent tool to help remember when done purposefully, which is worth exploring further.(因此，照片是一个很好的工具，当有目的性地拍摄时，它有助于记忆，这值得进一步探讨。)”可推测出，接下来可能会讨论如何有目的性地拍照，即如何在拍照时保持专注，以更好地利用照片来帮助记忆。故选D。
35．主旨大意题。短文主要讨论了拍照对记忆的影响，包括其潜在的负面影响，如分散注意力和记忆外包，以及积极作用，如有助于更准确地回忆时刻。因此，C项“照片对记忆回忆的影响”这个标题最能概括短文的主题。故选C。

67．Without thinking twice, Eva made a decision. She comforted the elderly woman and set off immediately to find Sam. Eva sought help from her friends, neighbors, and even the local animal shelter. Together, they formed a search team and began to search the neighborhood for Sam. As Eva rode back to check on Mrs. Green, she noticed something unusual. A small figure curled up at the end of the street near a park. Eva’s heart leaped as she recognized the lost Sam. Eva called Mrs. Green with the good news and hurriedly sent Sam back to Mrs. Green.
As Mrs. Green saw Sam approaching, her eyes sparkled with joyful tears. She embraced her pet and thanked Eva for her kindness. The people who helped search for Sam also praised Eva for helping Mrs. Green. That day, Eva didn’t just fulfill her job responsibilities. Eva’s act of kindness brought relief to Mrs. Green and strengthened the sense of unity within the neighborhood. Inspired by Eva’s dedication and selflessness, people in the neighborhood began to look out for one another, offering a helping hand whenever it was needed.
