C
It’s something familiar to all parents of young children: you’re in a busy shopping street and your child wants to pee (小便) and he just can’t hold it any longer. But two parents’ decision to let their child relieve (釋放) himself has caused much attention in China.
By now, it seems, the whole Chinese Internet is familiar with what happened on a crowded Hong Kong shopping street. A mother holds a nappy (尿布) while her two-year-old pees. A passerby took pictures which then were put online. The woman explained that they had found a public toilet (廁所) but saw there was a long queue, so she had no other choice but to let their child to relieve himself on the street instead.
Why has this one child’s act caused so much upset? Allowing a child under 12 to “answer the call of nature in any public street” is against the law in Hong Kong and the parents will face a 2,000 Hong Kong Dollar ($250) fine (罰款). But the on-line chatter has put all the attention on the fact that this family were tourists from mainland China, rather than being locals. “For Hong Kongers, people might think from time to time that mainlanders are not so polite and often break the public rules,” says Martin Yip of BBC. Charmaine Chui, who was born in Hong Kong, told BBC she feels angry to have seen mainland tourists peeing in shopping centers and restaurants. “Hong Kong is a beautiful, modern city. What do these people think of it?” she says.
In mainland China, there has also been criticism of the parents’ behavior. But most of the people say they find the parents’ behavior understandable as they had tried to find a toilet for their child and the mother used a paper nappy rather than simply allowing the baby to pee on the ground.
小題1:The child peed ________ in HK.
A．on a crowded shopping street B．in a public toilet
C．a(chǎn)t homeD．in a restaurant
小題2:The underlined phrase “answer the call of nature” means _________.
A．回歸自然B．接自然打來的電話
C．上廁所D．接電話
小題3:Charmaine Chui feels _________ to have seen mainland tourists peeing in shopping centers and restaurants.
A．understandableB．sorry
C．a(chǎn)ngryD．happy
小題4:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．A policeman took photos of the 2-year-old child and put them online.
B．It’s OK for children under 12 to pee wherever they like in Hong Kong.
C．All the Chinese feel very angry about the parents’ behavior.
D．In mainland China, most of the people find the parents’ behavior understandable.

小題1:A
小題2:C
小題3:C
小題4:D

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是很多大陸人去香港時，會讓他們的孩子在公共的場所，例如購物街或餐館等地方解手，類似的事情還被傳到了網(wǎng)上，這讓很多人都感到不可接受。在香港允許12歲以下的孩子在公共的大街上解手是違背當?shù)胤傻�。但是很多大陸的人都覺得這件事是可以理解的。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中the whole Chinese Internet is familiar with what happened on a crowded Hong Kong shopping street….so she had no other choice but to let their child to relieve himself on the street instead.可知，這個孩子是在香港一條擁擠的大街上解手。故選A。
小題2:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)短文第三段中Allowing a child under 12 to “answer the call of nature in any public street” is against the law in Hong Kong and the parents will face a 2,000 Hong Kong Dollar ($250) fine (罰款).可知，讓12歲以下的孩子在公共的大街上解手這違背了香港的法律，家長將會面臨2,000港元的罰款。這個短語的意思就是上面所說的在大街上讓小孩解手。故選C。
小題3:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中Martin Yip of BBC. Charmaine Chui, who was born in Hong Kong, told BBC she feels angry to have seen mainland tourists peeing in shopping centers and restaurants.可知Charmaine Chui看到大陸的人讓孩子在購物街和餐館里解手，她感到很生氣。故選C。
小題4:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中A passerby took pictures which then were put online.可知A選項不符合文意；根據(jù)Allowing a child under 12 to “answer the call of nature in any public street” is against the law in Hong Kong and the parents will face a 2,000 Hong Kong Dollar ($250) fine (罰款).可知B選項不符合文意；根據(jù)短文最后一段可知C選項不符合文意。根據(jù)But most of the people say they find the parents’ behavior understandable可知D選項是正確的。故選D。

Some students like to translate(翻譯) when they practice speaking English. Translation is a very difficult exercise. During a conversation, we don’t really have time to translate what we understand. When we use translation, we don’t develop the necessary reflexes (反應(yīng)能力) needed to speak and understand a foreign language. It is important to build up reflexes right from the beginning. It will help you later when your skills are good enough to take a conversation.
Here is some advice on how to build up reflexes when you only have basic words and grammar.
Relax!
No one is checking you except yourself! Look at each communication experience as an adventure. Try to relax first when you speak English. You will pick up on small details.
Context(上下文) is your friend.
What is context？ It means the situation in which something happens and that helps to understand it. (2)We can make good guesses about what is being said by using the context. It will be easy when you think about the context. You will feel much more comfortable and confident if you remember that.
Ask questions what you want to know.
After you have proudly asked for tickets at the train station, the booking-office clerk (售票員) spoke a long sentence to you about the place and the time. You may be a little unclear or have only understood a part of it. However, you can ask questions about what you want to know, such as, “Did you say…?” and “Would you repeat that more slowly?”. So that you can easily move the communication forward. Use body language.
Use body language to go with your words when you __(1)___ to learn a __(1)_____ language. The person you are speaking to only wants to understand you and will be carefully listening to you. As you become more proficient (熟練的) in your second language, you will depend(依靠) more on the language and less on body language. But there is no shame for a beginner.

小題1: 在(1)處的空白處分別填入一個適當?shù)脑~使句意完整、上下文通順。
________  __________
小題2: 將(2)句譯成中文。
_______________________________________________________________________________
小題3:回答問題： What does the writer want us to do first when we speak English?
_______________________________________________________________________________
小題4: 在文中找出與 Maybe you didn’t hear clearly or understand all of it.意思相同或相近的句子，
并將它寫在答題卡上。
_______________________________________________________________________________
小題5: 在文中找出最能表達該短文主題的句子，并將它寫在答題紙上。

People show their personalities in their clothes, their cars and their homes. Because we might choose some foods to “tell” people something about us, our diets can also be an expression of our personalities. For example, some people eat mainly gourmet (供美食家享用的)foods, such as caviar (魚子醬) and lobster (龍蝦), and they eat only in expensive restaurants. They know about the “better things in life”.
People can eat many different kinds of foods, but some people choose not to eat meat. Vegetarians(素食主義者) often have more in common(相同) than just their diets. Their personalities might be the same too. For example, vegetarians in the US and Canada may be creative(創(chuàng)造性的) people, and they might not enjoy competitive(競爭性的) sports or jobs. They worry about the health of the world, and they are probably strongly opposed (反對的) to wars(戰(zhàn)爭).
Some people eat mostly fast food. One study shows that many fast-food eaters have a lot in common with one another, but they are very different from vegetarians. They are competitive and good at business. They are also usually in a hurry.
