Part 3 Reading and Writing
(第三部分 读 写)
VIII. Reading comprehension (阅读理解): (共56分)
A. True or False (判断下列句子是否符合短文内容,符合的用 “T” 表示,不符合的用 “F”表示):(7分)
“My family have been watching the‘Super Girl’ singing competition TV programme. My little daughter asked me what‘PK’ meant, but I had no idea,” said a Yangzhou father.
To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing MUD games (多用户网络游戏) online, it is impossible not to know this jargon(行话). In such Internet games, “PK” is short for“Player Kill”, in which two players fight with each other until one ends the life of the other. In the case of the “Super Girl” singing competition, “PK” was used when two singers had to compete with each other for only one chance to go up.
Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also found their students’ compositions, using Internet jargon, difficult to understand. Once a high school teacher from Nanjing asked her students to write compositions, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargon that she didn’t understand. “My ‘GG’ came back this summer from college. He told me I had grown up to be a ‘PLMM’. He always took me to the ‘KPM’...,” went one composition. “GG” means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for “brother”). “PLMM” means Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). “KPM” is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds. “Gr 8”means “Great”. “LOL” has the meaning of “Laugh Out Loud”.
If you don’t even know what a “Kong Long” (a bad-looking girl) or a “Qing Wa” (a bad-looking boy) is, then you’ll perhaps be thought as a “Cai Niao” (a person who starts to use the Internet).
While some language experts agree that Internet jargon is a new development in language, many teachers and parents are worried that too much use of such language may keep the students away from the “right” usages (使用) or make them fail to do well in language exams.
71. The Yangzhou father doesn’t know the meaning of “PK”.
72. Many Chinese school students like to use Internet jargon in their speaking and writing today.
73. On the Internet, you can use “GG” and “MM” to show you are very happy.
74. We call a person “Cai Niao” if he or she is a beginner in using the Internet.
75. If you use the Internet jargons in your composition, it will be difficult to understand.
76. “PK” in the Internet games means to help the other.
77. Many teachers and parents think of Internet jargon may keep the students away from the “right” usages of language.
B. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案):(7分)
Every year, many foreign students go to America to study English. Some of them will live in an American family, but others will make a different decision. They’ll live with friends who come from their own country. I believe that if a foreign student thinks carefully about the two ways, he’ll decide to live with an American family. Even though there are one or two disadvantages (不利之处) to the first way, there are far more advantages.
In making his decision about how to live in the USA, the foreign student is careful to think about one or two disadvantages to live with an American family. First of all, he must know that he’s going to feel homesick(想家的) at first. Living in an American family may make this feeling become stronger. Also, the American family may do too much to take care of him. They may ask him where he’s going, when he leaves home, and when he’ll return.
If a foreign student lives in an American home, he’ll know the country and its people much better. For example, he’ll see how the parents teach their children. He’ll feel better because the American family will help him get used to a new life. In an American family, he can learn English fast. Family members can help him with his homework. When he speaks English, they can help him correct the mistakes he has made. In this way, he can learn English more easily.
Although there are some disadvantages to live in an American family, there are more advantages.

Children in our neighbourhood always ran around 86 their play, and Joey would jump, ran and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldn’t be able to run like the other children. So he didn’t 87 .
In seventh grade he decided 88 the school running team. Every day he trained. He ran more than any of the others, because only the top seven runners would be chosen to run 89 the school. We didn’t tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn’t know.
He ran four to five miles every day—even when he had a fever. I was worried, so I went to look for him after school. I found him 90 already. I asked him how he felt, “Okay,” he said. There was two more miles to go. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept walking.
Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were listed. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade— 91 six team members were all eighth graders. We never told him he wouldn’t do it ... so he didn’t know. He just took it.

How can you be sure that you know w (92) you know? That may sound silly but it’s really a serious question. Have you ever “thought” you knew something but when it came time to write in the exam you discovered that you r (93) didn’t “know” it, after all.
Strategies (策略) you can use
When that happens, it isn’t because you have a bad memory, it’s because the things you are trying to r (94) haven’t been properly learned.
Luckily, there are strategies you can use to help you learn difficult things. And scientists say that there is even a part of your brain that can “predict” whether this new knowledge has been completely u________ (95).
Judgement of learning
Scientists call this predicting, the “judgement of learning”. It really just means looking over your own shoulder w ________ (96) you are studying and asking yourself, “Do I really get this?” And if you don’t, it means adjusting your “strategy” until you do.
Here’s one strategy:
1. Set a short-term goal to learn something.
2. Study as you normally would.
3. Answer some test questions to g________ (97) some feedback.
4. Use that feedback to work on your weak points.
In the driver’s seat
Developing the ability to “judge” your own learning needs a lot of p________ (98). But it can be a very useful skill. It puts you in the driver’s seat and in charge of your own studies. In effect, it lets you know that you really know what you think you know. You know?
E. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题):(14分)
What’s the meaning of the “dark horse”? It’s someone who wins when no one expects it.
Han Xiaopeng took China’s first gold on snow. He became an Olympic “dark horse” by winning the gold medal in men’s freestyle aerial skiing (自由式滑雪空中技巧) at Turin in Italy. He made two almost perfect jumps for the highest score. Han had never won a world gold medal before, let alone(更不用说) in the Olympics!
“I never thought this would happen,” said the 23-year-old. “I feel like I’m in a dream.” It’s China’s second gold medal at the Turin Olympics. But more important, Han’s gold was the country’s first ever in a snow sport. In 2002, China’s Yang Yang won the gold for speed skating at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, US.
Han’s win was unexpected but it doesn’t mean that he didn’t work hard.
Han grew up in Jiangsu Province. Before he started his training on snow, he used to be an acrobat (杂技演员) at a circus. In 1995, a coach found his talent (才能). The coach, Yang Er’qi, said Han had the agility (灵活性) and courage to be a ski jumper. When Yang first took the 12-year-old boy to northern China, he couldn’t swim, skate or ski. But he wasn’t afraid of the high platform (跳台) and kept on training.
Han almost left the sport after hurting his knee months before the Salt Lake Games. In that Olympics he only got 24th. “I was hopeless at that time, but my family and the coach stood behind me firmly, helping me through,” he recalled.
Han Xiaopeng worked so hard that he won the gold medal in the Olympics at last. Because of his success, more and more people in China are becoming interested in skiing. We are proud of him and we hope he will have another big success in the next winter Olympics.
99. What does “dark horse” mean in Chinese?
100. Who got the first gold on snow?
101. What did Han Xiaopeng do before?
102. Why did the coach choose Han Xiaopeng to be a ski jumper?
103. Who won the gold medal for speed skating at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, US in 2002?
104. When Han Xiaopeng felt hopeless, what did his family and the coach do?
105. Why are more and more people becoming interested in skiing?

IX. One possible version:
How to help others
Everyone has trouble in their daily life. When I do badly in my study or have some difficulties in my life, I always get help from my parents or my friends. It can’t be imagined what my life will be like without their help. So when my friends are in trouble, I’ll try my best to help them. Some of my friends are poor and sometimes they are sad because they can’t afford to buy school things or living things. I’ll lend them some money and do something to help them get through. And when they are unhappy because of the bad score, I’ll talk to them, encourage them to be brave and never give up, or maybe I’ll go shopping, take a walk or watch films with them. By doing this, they can relax themselves and be happy again.
I think helping others is a very important thing. It can be not only good for others but also helpful for myself, too.
