“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face”. A charming way of saying “Keep off the grass”. But could you figure it out? Or this: “Wash Clothing Store” for laundry.
They are both typical Chinglish, a combination of English vocabulary and Chinese grammar. Expressions such as “people mountain people sea”, means extremely crowded, and “give you some color to see”, meaning a punishment, are widely known and recognized.
Chinglish has been attracting global attention in recent years as China grows rapidly in status on the world stage, attracting both fans and detractors(批评者).
The Beijing Speaks Foreign Languages Programme and English First China Company, a language trainer known as EF Education, jointly launched a campaign to root out poor grammar and misused vocabulary in downtown Beijing. They argue Chinglish is an embarrassment that we should let it die out at all costs.
“It is meaningful to allow the capital to show its most beautiful historical and cultural heritage to the world." Michael Lu, vice-president of EF Education said, “since the launching of the campaign, foreign teachers and students had been very keen to volunteer participation.”He believed signs were very important in public services. "The signs in some old buildings confused foreign visitors.
Chinglish, although the target of much criticism, has also won supporters who regard it as an interesting way for foreigners to learn how Chinese people think and express themselves.
“Many Chinglish logos carry Chinese elements and they will enrich the English language,” 32-year-old Oliver Radtke said. He had even published a book “Chinglish: Found in Translation,” on the subject. About 50,000 copies of the book have been sold since it was published in 2007.
Some Chinese university experts also side with Chinglish. "English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and the emergence of Chinglish again testifies(说明) to the language’s vitality and inclusiveness," said Shi Anbin, an associate professor of Tsinghua University.
小题1:How did Chinglish come into being?
A.Chinese people misunderstood the meaning of the new words.
B.Chinese people combined English vocabulary with Chinese grammar.
C.Chinese people based their English on the native English speakers.
D.Chinese people make wide use of English vocabulary with bad spelling.
小题2:What Shi Anbin said means       .
A.there are many French and Spanish words in English
B.English is the language with vitality and inclusiveness
C.Chinglish enriches English and shouldn’t be got rid of
D.Chinglish has greater effect on English than French and Spanish
小题3:According to Oliver Radtke, Chinglish       .
A.shows how Chinese people think
B.does damage to the English language
C.shows the great humor of Chinese people
D.should be sold to all over the world

Language is the most astonishing behavior in the animal kingdom. It is the species-typical behavior that sets humans completely   36  from all other animals. Language is a means of   37  , but it is much more than that. Many animals can   38  . The dance of the honeybee communicates the location of flowers   39  other members of the hive (蜂群). But human language permits communication about anything,   40  things like unicorns (独角兽) that have never existed. The key   41  in the fact that different words can be   42  together in different ways, according to   43  to communicate different meanings.
Language is the most important learning we do. Nothing can   44  humans so much as our ability to communicate abstract   45 , whether about the university, the mind, love, dreams, or ordering a drink. It is an extremely complex   46  that we take for granted. Indeed, we are not aware of most   47  of our speech and understanding. Consider what happens when one person is speaking to   48  . The speaker has to translate thoughts into  49  language. Brain imaging studies suggest that the time from thoughts to the   50  of speech is extremely fast. Only 0.04 seconds! The listener must hear the sounds to   51   what the speaker means. He must use the sounds of speech to   52  the spoken words, understand the pattern of   53  of the words (sentences), and finally   54  the meaning. This takes somewhat longer, a minimum of about 0.5 seconds. But once started, it is of course a(n)    55  process.

In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an interactional festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
Today the “Fringe”, once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.
小题1:What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?
A.To bring Europe together again.
B.To honor heroes of World War 11.
C.To introduce young theatre groups.

小题2:Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?
A.They owned a public house there.

小题3:Who joined the "Fringe" after it appeared?

The Mandarin Chinese word for “cha” is pronounced “t"e” in certain Chinese dialects(方言). Also the Malay word for the leaf is“the”. This word “the” was used to describe both the drink and the leaf. The Japanese character for tea is written exactly the same as the Chinese, though pronounced with a slight difference; so these may be the origins of our word tea in the western world.
Tea may have been discovered in 2737 BC by Shen Nong, a Chinese Emperor of the San Huang Period(3,000 - 2,700 BC). He was a scholar, the father of agriculture and the inventor of Chinese herbal medicine. One summer day, while visiting a distant place, he and the court stopped to rest and his servants began to boil water for the court to drink. Dried leaves from the nearby bush fell into the boiling water, and made it a brown liquid. The Emperor was interested in the new liquid, drank some, and found it very refreshing. The tree was a wild tea tree, and so, tea was created.
The first samples(样品) of tea reached England between 1652 and 1654. Tea was referred to as the China drink, tcha, chaw, tay, tee, and tea and was at first regarded more as a medicine than a fashionable drink. The original English pronunciation of the word tea was “tay” and can be traced back to around 1655 when the Dutch introduced both word and beverage(饮料)to England. The pronunciation “tee” also originated in the 1600"s but only gained predominance(主导地位)after the late 18th century.
By 1650 the Dutch were actively involved in trade throughout the Western world. During that year Peter Stuyvesant brought the first tea to America to the colonists(殖民地定居者)in the Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam (later re-named New York).
小题1:The following information is true EXCEPT ________.
A.The Japanese write the character for tea the same way as we Chinese.
B.It was a Chinese Emperor who first found tea very refreshing.
C.The word “the” was used to describe only the leaf.
D.Tea was discovered quite by chance in history.
小题2:Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________.
A.that Shen Nong, was a famous inventor of Chinese herbal medicine
B.why the Emperor was brave and dared to run risks
C.whether Shen Nong liked drinking boiled water outside the court
D.the way in which tea was created outdoors
小题3:Which of the following information is FALSE according to the text?
① Tea was at first regarded just as a fashionable drink in England.
② Tea had different names during the early days it reached England.
③ The pronunciation “tee”originated in 1600.
④ Peter Stuyvesant introduced both word “tay” and beverage(饮料)to England.
⑤ The pronunciation“tee”became popular after the late 18th century.
A.①②B.②③C.④⑤D.①④
小题4:From Paragraph 3 we know ________.
A.that the leaf tea should be put in hot water for drinking
B.that tea was called the China drink, tcha, chaw, tay, tee, t"e and tea in England
C.what the early situation of tea was like in the Western world
D.that tea was first brought to America in the late 16th century
