【題目】Making words shorter is a common habit of English speakers today.

It seems that most sayings or popular words have their own abbreviation. 【1】 For example, LOL stands for “l(fā)aughing out loud”，IMO is “in my opinion” and BTW is “by the way”. US technology website Lifewire made a list of the most common abbreviations in 2016.

Simple ones you may already know - like BTW, IMO and IDK (I don’t know) made the list. 【2】 They include TFW (that feeling when), and FTW (for the win). TFW is sometimes used along with a funny photo to describe your feelings, while FTW is a kind of internet cheer used to express happiness. 【3】 You can use this one before you tell someone what you think about something.

【4】 Terry Wood, a foreign language teacher from Leonardtown, US, says the habits have lowered his students’ writing abilities. “They do not capitalize (大寫) words or use punctuation anymore,” Wood told US News. “【5】”

A. The list is meant to be good fun.

B. Another interesting learn is IMHO (in my humble opinion).

C. But there were lots of other more difficult ones on the list, too.

D. This happens a lot when they are used on social media or in a text message.

E. Any word longer than one syllable (音節(jié)) is now abbreviated to one.

F. Researchers identified several ways in which teens changed language while speaking online.

G. However, some people believe these abbreviations are also causing problems.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】B

【4】G

【5】E

【解析】文章主要講述了越來越多的人實(shí)用英語縮寫去表達(dá)語言，簡單地一些縮寫容易理解，然而一些復(fù)雜的就難以理解，越來越多的使用可能會(huì)引出一些問題。

【1】考查對(duì)上下文理解及推理判斷能力。句意：在社交媒體或文本消息中使用時(shí)，這種情況經(jīng)常發(fā)生。根據(jù)“It seems that most sayings or popular words have their own abbreviation. ” 似乎大多數(shù)的俗語或流行語有自己的縮寫。以及“For example, LOL stands for “l(fā)aughing out loud”，IMO is “in my opinion” and BTW is “by the way”.” 例如，LOL代表“笑出聲”，IMO是“在我看來”，BTW是“順便說一下”。所填句子承上啟下。根據(jù)題意，故選D。

【2】考查對(duì)上下文理解及推理判斷能力。句意：但單子上還有很多其他更難的。根據(jù)上文“Simple ones you may already know”一些簡單的你可能會(huì)知道，這兩處相對(duì)應(yīng)，對(duì)下文“TFW”“FTW”做了詳細(xì)的解釋，可知文中列出的這兩個(gè)較難理解。根據(jù)題意，故選C。

【3】考查對(duì)上下文理解及推理判斷能力。句意：另一個(gè)有趣的是IMHO（在我看來）。根據(jù)“You can use this one before you tell someone what you think about something.”在你告訴別人你對(duì)這件物品的想法前你可以使用這個(gè)詞匯。根據(jù)題意，故選B。

【4】考查對(duì)上下文理解及推理判斷能力。句意：然而，有些人認(rèn)為這些縮寫也造成了問題。根據(jù)“Terry Wood, a foreign language teacher from Leonardtown, US, says the habits have lowered his students’ writing abilities.”來自于美國Leonardtown的一名外語老師Terry Wood說這個(gè)習(xí)慣降低了學(xué)生的寫作能力�？芍s寫造成了一些問題。根據(jù)題意，故選G。

【5】考查對(duì)上下文理解及推理判斷能力。句意：任何單詞超過一個(gè)音節(jié)被縮寫成一個(gè)。根據(jù)“They do not capitalize (大寫) words or use punctuation anymore” 他們不大寫詞或使用標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)了�？芍麄兞�(xí)慣于將句子單詞寫成縮寫。根據(jù)題意，故選E。

【題目】As any parent knows too well, sometimes a little white lie is the only way to make a naughty child quiet. Indeed, parents have shared the top white lies they’ve told their children. While some of them are amusing, others are somewhat cruel.

“Father Christmas is watching you,” “Carrots will make you see in the dark” and “Your pet has gone to live on a farm” are among the top white lies parents tell their children. The top 20 list of little lies that adults use shows that four in five parents have told their children something that isn’t true. The threat of Father Christmas is on the top, with 62 percent of parents employing St. Nick to keep their kids under control. The second on the list is: “We’ll see”, which any little one knows really means “no”.

The majority of British people say that they lie to their children to protect their innocence, to save them from being upset or to stop them behaving badly. The top white lie told to kids about their pets is “your pet has to live on a farm in the countryside”, which is employed after one dies or has gone missing. On average, parents think that children are ready to start learning about death at the age of seven and a half.

One 62-year-old recalled that when he was four, his cat ran away, because it kept having its tail pulled. It was 53 years later that it was revealed that the cat had actually been given away to stop it from scratching the furniture. One respondent (應(yīng)答者) said that he still remembered that when he was young, he believed his father’s statement that the entire world used to be in black and white before colour photography came along.

Forty percent of parents say that they would definitely lie to their children to keep up their belief in Father Christmas, and over all say they’d certainly tell the truth about a pet dying. However, one in ten parents say they’ve replaced their children’s dead pet with a one looking the same to cheat their children into believing it was still alive and well, found the study by Blue Cross pet charity.

【1】The threat of Father Christmas which is used to control children shows that .

A. some children fear and respect Father Christmas

B. Father Christmas is more important than parents

C. children should learn more about festivals

D. Father Christmas does live in the world

【2】What can we conclude from Paragraph 4?

A. Children don’t understand why their parents tell white lies.

B. Parents’ white lies may do harm to their children.

C. Children don’t really mind their parents’ white lies.

D. Parents’ white lies may leave a deep impression on their children

【3】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Parents’ different understandings of while lies.

B. Parents’ different attitudes to telling white lies.

C. Parents’ different worries about white lies.

D. Parents’ different white lies.

How to get siblings to get along

One of the greatest gifts of parenthood is seeing your children form a relationship with each other that is independent of you. By giving them someone else to play with, you can free up some time for yourself. Here are four techniques you can use to help your children appreciate each other while they are young.

1. 【1】 The No. 1 thing parents can do to help their kids stay on good terms with each other is not to compare them with each other. Never say “Your sister never...” or “Why can’t you do what your brother does?” 【2】

2. Stay out of the way. Try not to get too involved in your kinds’ arguments. Learning cooperation and problem-solving is an important skill in life. 【3】 And don’t blame the older one for not “knowing better”. That puts pressure on the older child and leads to unhappiness.

3. Activities and opportunities. Have your kids go to their siblings’ games and activities. 【4】 “My kids go to each other’s activities, and take part in activities together,” says Patricia Walters-Fischer, mother of two. Not only do her children go, but they also offer support, encouraging each other before a big game or performance and offering comfort when things don’t go well.

4. Vacations. Don’t ignore the value of a family vacation for bringing siblings together. When kids are away from their friends and forced to spend time together, they often enjoy each other. 【5】 In fact, a weekend camping trip offers some of the best opportunities for working together, having fun and experiencing something new.

A. Never shout at them.

B. Don’t compare.

C. It doesn’t need to be anything extremely great.

D. Get them involved in one another’s lives, so they can have a better appreciation of who their sibling is.

E. That only serves to fuel the competition.

F. They may need help solving a conflict, but try not to take sides.

G. Give them a project, and they will learn how to work together.

【題目】My daughter went to see The Wild One recently and she commented that Marlon Brando was wearing jeans so long ago. Of course he helped set the trend, so that got me thinking about the link between films and trends in fashion. Fashion and films have gone hand in hand for long. The Wild One is a good example: it appeared in 1954, starring Brando. Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket, leather cap and jeans, he created a look which is still considered “cool” today. Everyone from Madonna to middle-aged men is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.

Another strong influence on fashion trends was Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring Audrey Hepburn. She made famous the simple black dress that looks perfect at either a cocktail party or just standing around an expensive department store like Tiffany’s with a pastry and coffee in your hand, as Audrey Hepburn does in the film. She looks so elegant, wearing simple but beautiful dresses, big dark glasses and a string of pearls around her neck. Audrey Hepburn still influences women’s fashion with her “Tiffany’s look”.

In more modem times, the film star Uma Thurman created a major fashion trend when she appeared in the film Pulp Fiction, made in 1994. Her style was very simple. Her black trousers, crisp white shirt and hair style was copied by women in the world.

Influencing fashion trends can often be about timing. The movie Memoirs of a Geisha came just in time to start a trend in Japanese fashion. It starred the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, who wore beautiful silk kimonos (和服), and it won an Oscar for Costume Design. Many travel companies picked up on the trend and ran “geisha trips” to Japan. The film has also led to a regained interest in kimonos. It is now quite common to see young Japanese women wearing kimonos not just on traditional occasions, but at various social events. The fashion is also beginning to spread to Western countries.

【1】What is the best title of the passage?

A. Films and fashion. B. Stars’ fashion.

C. Influential films. D. Film cultures.

【2】Who will people associate Madonna wearing the leather motorcycle jacket with?

A. Zhang Ziyi. B. Audrey Hepburn.

C. Uma Thurman. D. Marlon Brando.

【3】What is implied in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s according to the passage?

A. One can be active by wearing black.

B. One can be elegant by dressing simply.

C. One can be famous by looking perfect.

D. One can be stylish by eating at Tiffany’s.

【4】What does the film Memoirs of a Geisha lead to?

A. The popularity of the Chinese actress.

B. The worldwide reading of Geisha stories.

C. The recovery of interest in kimonos.

D. The “geisha trips” to social events.
