【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項中,選出最佳選項。
B
A new word duang is taking the Internet by storm in China - but no one knows quite what it means. The character “duang” is so new that it does not even exist in the Chinese dictionary. But it has already spread like wildfire online in China, appearing more than 8 million times on China's micro-blogging site Weibo, where it drew 312,000 discussions among 15,000 users. On China's biggest online search engine Baidu, it has been looked up almost 600,000 times. It's been noticed in the West too, with Foreign Policy seeing it as a “break the Internet” viral meme - like a certain Kim Kardashian image, or a certain multicoloured dress.
But what does it mean? “Everyone's duang-ing and I still don't know what it means! Looks like it's back to school for me,” said Weibo user Weileiweito. Another user asked: “Have you duanged today? My mind is full of duang duang duang.” “To duang or not to duang, that is the question,” wrote user BaiKut automan.
“Duang” seems to be an example of onomatopoeia, a word that phonetically imitates a sound. It all seems to have started with Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan, who in 2004 was featured in a shampoo advertisement where he said famously defended his smooth, black hair using the rhythmical-sounding “duang”. The word resurfaced again recently after Chan posted it on his Weibo page. Thousands of users then began to flood Chan's Weibo page with comments, making the word in reference to his infamous shampoo appearance.
The word appears to have many different meanings, and there's no perfect translation, but you could use it as an adjective to give emphasis to the word that follows it. A cat might be “duang cute”, for example. Or you might be “very duang confused” by this blog. For readers of Chinese characters, the Jackie Chan theme is also apparent from the strange way in which the word is written: a combination of Chan's names written in Chinese.
(1)What's the best title of the passage?
A.Millions share new Chinese character.
B.There are many great storms in China.
C.The Internet has made out new words.
D.Many try to find ways to stop wildfire.
(2)What is discussed in the second paragraph?
A.The doubt of the word.
B.The structure of the word.
C.The meaning of the word.
D.The root of the word.
(3)When Jackie Chan first said duang, he really wanted to _____.
A.create an important word
B.see his Weibo Page flooded
C.praise a kind of shampoo
D.play a Hong Kong action film
(4)When duang is used as an adjective, it can be used to _____.
A.emphasize the word after it
B.make other people confused
C.combine the users' names
D.open China's micro-blogging
