    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    As a foreigner , I often hear the Chinese calling me laowai ” . If I could not speak Chinese or if I had no understanding of Asian customs , I might be angry when I am called a “ laowai ” . But having lived in the Philippines and China’s Taiwan Province teaching English for several years , I have come to China with a different view from most other foreign teachers here . In such situations , I just answer back in standard Chinese : “ Ni zenmo zhidao wo shi waiguoren ?( How do you know I’m a foreigner ? )” When I hear people shout out “ hello ” in a more impolite way and then laugh , I reply in Chinese with “ Ni de yingyu bi wo de hao .(Your English is better than mine .)”

    Speaking Chinese is a way of living an easier life in China . As an English teacher at Hubei University in Wuhan , I was once invited by a student to spend the weekend with his family . Because I can speak Chinese quite freely , I was able to talk with my student’s entire family . From my personal experience , I knew that the Chinese have a “ gift ”for making foreigners in China feel right at home . That fun-filled weekend I spent with my student’s family in Caidian , a small suburb of Wuhan , just showed that my idea was right .

    It was an experience I will never forget .

    Americans have a saying : If you can’t beat them , then join them .The secret to feeling at home with the Chinese people isn’t to try to make them change over to Western ways . The secret is to become one of them . Just go with the flow , or don’t take things too seriously . In this way you will surely feel at home in China .

    If you no longer emphasize (强调) our differences from the Chinese , you will be more willing to concentrate on what “ big noses ” and “ small noses ” have in common .

    68. The reply “Ni de yingyu bi wo de hao ” shows _______ .

    A. the author likes to talk with the Chinese    

    B. the author isn’t angry

            Big football matches are always exciting affairs. Besides the action on the field, the noise the crowd
    makes really creates the unique atmosphere. At this summer’s World Cup, you can be sure that every
    country’s fans will be in full voice, supporting their teams.
            The football chant(口号) is as old as the sport itself. It’s a way for fans to express their support for
    their team. It’s common for the noise of supporters to provide the encouragement for a team to win a
    match. Most agree that a chant is for building a great atmosphere and to support the team.
            One of the most famous football songs is the Liverpool club anthem(颂歌) You’ll Never Walk
    Alone    ，originally from a 1945 Broadway show, which was adopted by Liverpool and is sung before
    every match. It has been said that as soon as the opposite hears the song, they become aware of how
    tough winning at Anfield (Liverpool’s stadium) will be.
            The key to a good football song is that it should be simple. It has to be easy for all fans to sing along
    with. When I went to watch Beijing Guo’an last season, I could join in one chant though I could only
    speak a little Chinese. “Beijing wo ai ni,” the Guo’an fans sang - you didn’t have to be gifted to work out
    what that meant.
            At the World Cup, the first songs you’ll hear at matches will be the national anthems. Fans and
    players join together to sing the anthems before each match, and it is considered a mark of respect that
    the opposite remains silent while each team’s anthem is being sung.
            So, even though I’ll be supporting England from home in the summer, you can be sure I’ll be chanting
    at my TV: “En-ger-land, En-ger-land, En-ger-land!”
    1. From the passage we can learn that _______.
    A. a good football chant is usually very long
    B. the football chant can express support to the team
    C. the football chant appears later than football itself
    D. a fan is talented to learn foreign languages
    2. What can fans do to support their team?
    A. To kick the ball on the field.
    B. To fight with the opposition fans.
    C. To provide encouragement with chants.
    D. To donate money to the players.
    3. Why the national anthems of both the teams can be heard at the World Cup?
    A. Because it is a sign to show the respect to each other.
    B. Because it is sung for the leaders of the host country.
    C. Because it represents encouragement from their fans.
    D. Because either team senses the support from their country.
    4. Which of the following is the best title?
    A. Football - A Popular Sport
    B. National Anthems at Matches
    C. You’ll Never Walk Alone
    D. You’ll Never “Cheer” Alone

    　　One evening in Februay 2007．a student named Poaula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales, She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path．That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver or tranin, Her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks．

    　　Ceely's near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device(导航仪)，She had never driven the route before．It was dark and raining heavily, Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing．I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train, she told the BBC．

    　　Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely's story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology, We put our faith in digital decices, be says．but our digital hepers are too often not up to the job, They are filled with small problems, And it's not just GPS devices：Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones．to wireless keyboards．

    　　The problem with his argument in the book is that it's not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes．A map makes might have left the crossing off a paper map, Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention, Pertaps the railway and work out that there really is something specifie wrong with the GPS equinment, But stevenson doesn't say．

    　　It's a problem that runs through the book．In a sechon an cars, Stevenson gives an of the advanced techniques that criminal use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars, He offers wo independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country．He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable, Perhaps, but maybe it's also due to the shourtage of policemen on the streets, Or changing social circumstances orsome combination of these factors．

    　　The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and compler．If is shaped by economics and psycholog and the culture we live in, Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology．

    　　If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines．After all, we have lived with them for tousands of years, They have probaly been fooling us for just as long．
