Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum(論壇) asking what “PK” meant.
“My family has been watching the ‘I Am the Singer’ singing competition TV program. My little daughter asked me what ‘PK’ meant, but I had no idea,” explained the puzzled father.
To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, “PK” is short for “Player Kill”, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.
In the case of the “I Am the Singer” singing competition, “PK” was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition raking.
Like this father, Chinese teachers at Middle schools have also been finding their students using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write the compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn’t understand.
“My ‘GG’ came back this summer from college. He told me I’ve grown up to be a ‘PLMM’. I loved to ‘FB’ with him together; he always took me to the ‘KPM’,” went one composition.
“GG” means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). “PLMM” is Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). “FB” means Fu Bai (corruption). “KPM” is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald’s.
Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language. If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, meaning an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, meaning an ugly looking male ) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
小題1:By writing the article, the writer tries to _________.
A. explain some Internet jargons               
B. suggest common Internet jargons
C. draw our attention to Internet jargons
小題2:What does the underlined word Internet jargons mean?
A. Internet language            
B. Internet action           
C. Internet fashion
小題3:What does the writer think about the word “PK”?
A. Fathers can’t possibly know it.
B. The daughter should understand it.
C. Online game players may know it.
小題4:The example of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons__________.
A. are used not only online
B. cause trouble to our mother tongue
C. are welcomed by all the people
小題5:What would be the best title for the passage?

D
Graffiti is a common feature of most Western cities. The word graffiti was from the Greek word, graphein, which only meant writing. These days, however, the word means drawing or writing on the walls of buildings, or the public transportation, such as trains or buses.
Graffiti, as a form of expression, was born in New York during the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, a new modern culture about city life appeared. Graffiti was a written form of expression of that life. Later, it was mixed with a musical form called hip-hop that was another expression of the city life.
At first, graffiti artists used pens. But then, with the development of graffiti, they became experienced. They turned to using spray paint (噴漆罐). Spray paint allowed them to draw a greater area. And it also allowed them to work quickly.
At present, different people have different ideas about graffiti. Some people say it makes the cities dirty. It isn’t allowed by many local governments in America. The governments spend more than a million dollars a year cleaning graffiti. The money, they say, could be better spent on health or education. Other people think it is a form of art. In fact, the works of some famous graffiti artists can be found in museums, galleries, and art books.
小題1:Which is the present meaning of the underlined word “graffiti” now?
A．書法B．沙畫
C．涂鴉D．油畫
小題2:How many forms of expression of city life are mentioned in the second paragraph (段落)?
A．One.B．Two.
C．Three.D．Four.
小題3:Why did graffiti artists use spray paint?
A．Because they could work quickly.
B．Because they could spend less money.
C．Because they could paint a smaller area.
D．Because they could express themselves clearly.
小題4:What’s the article mainly about?
A．The meaning of graffiti.
B．Different expressions of graffiti.
C．Different attitudes (態(tài)度) towards graffiti.
D．The history and the development of graffiti.

How did men first learn to invent words? It is still unknown to people; in other words, the origin* of language is a mystery. All we suppose is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings,actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined* to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.

We are sure that the power of words lies in their associations-- the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words make us think of the glad and sad things of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which strongly appeal to people and have great effect on our minds and feelings. This lovely and wonderful use of words is what we call literary* style. Above all, the real poet is a owner of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position* and association can move men to tears. We should learn to choose our words carefully and use them true, or they will make our speech silly and low.
小題1:From the passage, we learn that language might begin with   .
A．feelingsB．a(chǎn)ctionsC．signsD．sounds
小題2:The underlined phrase appeal to probably means     .
A．to interestB．to let... down
C．to make...relaxedD．to surprise...
小題3:What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．The power of new words
B．The importance of old words
C．The association of our experience with words
D．The change and development of words
小題4:From the passage, we can learn that ________.
A．people have discovered how words came from
B．it’s enough for a good writer to have great thoughts
C．the anthor suggest people to use words with right skills
D．the longer we live, the number of words that mean something will be smaller.
