3．These days，young people in some English-speaking countries are speaking a strange language，especially when communicating on social media．
Look at these words chosen by The Washington Post："David Bowie dying is totes tradge，"and"When Cookie hugged Jamal it made me totes emosh．"Or this sentence："BAE，let me know if you stay in tonight．"
What on earth do they mean？Well，"totes"is a short form of"totally"．Similarly，"tradge"means"tragic"and"emosh"means"emotional"．It seems that，for millennials（千禧一代），typing in this form is not only time-saving but fashionable．
As you can see，many millennial slangs（俚語）are formed by so-called"totesing"-the systematic abbreviation（縮寫）of words．The trend might have started with"totally"becoming"totes"，but it now has spread to many other English words．
The origins of other millennial slangs are more complex than"totesing"．"Bae"，for example，has been widely used by African-Americans for years．It can be an expression of closeness with one's romantic partner or，like"sweetheart"，for someone without romantic connection．After pop singer Pharrell used the word in his work，"bae"became mainstream．
Some people might think millennial slangs lower the value of the English language，but Melbourne University linguist（語言學家）Rosey Billington doesn't agree．She says when people are able to use a language in a creative way，they show that they know the language rules well enough to use words differently．Two other linguists，Lauren Spradlin and Taylor Jones，share the same view．The two analysed hundreds of examples of totes-speak and discovered totesing has complex roots．
    It isn't simply an adult version of baby talk，nor a clever way to minimize your word count．Rather，it is a highly organized system that relies on a speaker's mastery of English pronunciation．It is about sounds，follows sound system of English and has strict rules．
28．Why do young people like using e-slangs？B
A．They are time-consuming．
B．They are in fashion．
C．They are complex．
D．They are in order．
29．What's the author's purpose of mentioning"Bae"in Paragraph 5？D
A．To support that totesing is no baby talk．
B．To analyse the usage of millennial slangs．
C．To inform people how it became mainstream．
D．To explain the complex origins of millennial slangs．
30．Which statement may Rosey Billington agree with？D
A．Totesing is a loosely organized system．
B．Millennial slangs lower the value of English．
C．It's simply a clever way to reduce the word count．
D．Totes-speak requires a good command of English．
31．What's the best title of the passage？A
A．E-slangs Catch on Among Youth           
B．Linguists Disapprove of Totesing
C．Millennial Slangs Take the Lead         
D．English Has Greatly Changed．

分析 本文是一篇說明文．現(xiàn)在一些說英語的國家的年輕人喜歡用縮略詞，尤其是在社交媒體上．有些語言學家認為，年輕人對縮略詞的使用不但沒有降低英語的價值，反而表明他們熟練掌握了英語．

解答 28．B　細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第三段"It seems that，for millennials （千禧一代），typing in this form is not only timesaving but fashionable．"可知，他們認為這是一種時尚．故選B．
29．D　推理判斷題．根據(jù)第五段"The origins of other millennial slangs are more complex than‘totesing'"可知，作者主要是用它來解釋千禧一代所使用的一些俚語的復雜起源．故選D．
30．D　推理判斷題．根據(jù)第六段"She says when people…words differently．"可知，她同意"網(wǎng)絡縮略詞要求對英語（的運用規(guī)則）能熟練掌握"的說法．故選D．
31．A　標題歸納題．縱觀全文可知，本文主要講述的是現(xiàn)在一些說英語的國家很多年輕人都喜歡使用縮略詞，尤其是在社交媒體上進行交流的時候．故選A．

點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關系，對未說明的趨勢或結局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論，對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋．考生首先要仔細閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準確把握作者觀點．

16．For three and a half months，I lived，studied and worked in London，England．During my time in the United Kingdom，I traveled to ten countries，I made new friends，took thousands of pictures and broke two pairs of shoes while observing the breathtaking natural wonders．
So，when people ask me，"What was the most amazing part of your study abroad？"I have a hard time giving them an answer．But I know the most important aspect of my study was that I learned more about the world than ever before by observing it through first-hand experience．
As an education student，I believe that one way to create a strong valuable learning experience is by observing something first hand．Whether it is looking at bacteria under a microscope in a lab，analyzing a painting at a museum，or working on communications and team work skills on a group project，learn it in person．
My teachers often encourage us students to gain understanding and knowledge of something from experience．This allows students to take ownership of their learning and develop a personal connection to materials．
Dreaming of being a social study teacher，I believe that learning by doing has extreme value for students to learn about a period in history，region of the world，and economic systems，or culture．
If students are provided the opportunity to go on field trips，examine primary sources，and be immersed in an environment they are studying，they can truly analyze the world around them．
In my future classroom，I want to expose students to the idea of exploration．In every unit，I hope to create an environment where my students actually feel like they are a part of the world they are studying and for them to become world travelers by being active scholars in the classroom．

21．For the author，the most important part of studying abroad is toB．
A．see the international city-London
B．travel to ten countries
C．observe the beauty of natural wonders
D．learn about the world in person
22．What will the author want to do in the future？A
A．Become a teacher．
B．Travel to more countries．
C．Do researches in the lab．
D．Learn to paint．
23．The underlined part"be immersed in"in Paragraph 6refer to"C"．
A．be filled with
B．be keen on
C．be involved in
D．be used to
24．What's the main idea of the text？D
A．How to adapt to the study abroad．
B．The advantages of studying abroad．
C．Travel abroad as much as possible．
D．Studying Abroad-Learning From Experience．

14．Driving to a friend's house on a recent evening，I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend's roof-tops．I stopped to watch it for a few moments，thinking about what a pity it was that most citizens，myself included，usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors．
My friend had also seen it．He grew up living in a forest in Europe，and the moon meant a lot to him then．It had touched much of his life．
I know the feeling．Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends．We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water．Our group had campfires outside every night，and indoors when it was too cold outside．The moon grew to its fullest during our trip．Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys．Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard．It was one of the quietest places I have ever known，a bottomless well of silence．And above me was the full moon，which struck me deeply．
Today our lives are filled with glass，metal，plastic and fiber-glass．We have televisions，cell phones，papers，electricity，heaters and ovens and air-conditioners，cars，computers．
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day，most of which was spent in doors，I thought that before long I would like to live in a small cottage．There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains，and perhaps write，but not in anger．I may become an old man there，and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons．But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon．
25．The writer felt sorry for himself becauseA．
A．he usually failed to see the fullest moon      
B．there was too much pollution
C．he didn't get used to modern inventions 
D．there were too many accidents on the road
26．What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India？B
A．No modern equipment．
B．The nice moon．
C．The high mountains．
D．Complete silence．
27．Modern things （in Paragraph 4）are mentioned mainly toC．
A．show that the writer likes city life very much
B．tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life
C．explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature
D．show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them
28．The author wrote the passage toB．
A．show the love for the moonlight
B．express the feeling of returning to nature
C．a(chǎn)dvise modern people to learn to live
D．want to show his longing （渴望） for modern life．

11．When men get together，they seldom talk about their feelings or inner thoughts．However，they talk about a lot，like their newest computer，how to repair their car，or even business．
Talk might move to the best place to find fish or women，jump to computer games，then continue to the sport of the season．They also like to tell jokes each other and spend a fair amount of time playing one-up and boasting（吹牛）．Men seldom call each other to chat．
When man meets woman，he usually wants to make a good impression．Many single men try hard to carry on amusing，fun，and pleasant conversations．They use conversation to discover her interests and feelings in order to learn how to be attractive to her．
Some men，either out of nervousness or ignorance，spend most of the time talking about themselves，often appearing to brag about their achievements or talk endlessly about their problems or work．Even the quietest man talks to his woman when love is new．
When women get together，they talk about feelings and relationships，their work and their family．They enjoy talking but also want the give and take of talk，then listen．Women often call each other to chat．Conversation is an important part of most women's 1ives．
As relationships progress，however，many a man turns on the television and forgets how to talk．This raises anger and cry from his woman partner who says，"You never talk to me  anymore．"Some men start talking．Many，however，mainly discuss their own achievements and problems．
When the woman starts talking about her favorite subjects：feelings，family，relationships，friends and her work，many men lose interest or bring the conversation back to themselves．Pretty soon，the man is back to staring at the television each night，wondering where his relationship has gone．The woman is talking to her friends，mom，sister，or neighbor，often about that very relationship and how she is hurting．
28．What can we know about men from the first two paragraphs？A
A．They like to talk about practical matters．
B．They are willing to expose their inner thoughts．
C．They prefer to take adventurous travels．
D．They often call each other to chat about work．
29．Which of the following can replace the underlined part"brag about"in Paragraph 4？A
A．Show off．    
B．Dream about．  
C．Put forward．
D．Care for．
30．What is the same topic in both men's and women's talk？D

B． Jokes．
C．Friends．
D．Work．

18．Last July a German doctoral student named Matthias Weβel made a remarkable discovery．He was examining are papers of the late Swiss publisher Emil Oprecht for an essay on Arthur Koestler's switch from writing in German to writing in English at the end of the 1930s．Oprecht was a 1eft-wing know traveler who had founded his famous publishing house Europa Verlag in Zurich in 1933．a(chǎn)nd was well known for his anti-Nazi views and support for writes who were forced to flee their homes，including the young Arthur Koestler．Weβel once said，"I was looking for letters and royalty reports，because I wanted to know how many copies were printed of the first German edition of Koestkr's Spanish Testament．"He failed to find the answer to his question，but while 1ooking over the Europa holdings in the Zurich Central Library he came across a puzzling entry："Koestler，Arthur．Rubaschow：Roman．Typescript，March 1940，326pages．"

32．What is Weβel's main field of research？C
