第三部分 阅读理解（共20 小题；每小题2 分，满分40 分）

第一节（共15 小题；每小题2 分，满分30 分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C 和D 中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡

上将该项涂黑。用答题卷的考生，请把最佳选项标在答题卷的相应位置。

A

I’ve been living in China for a while — long enough to observe the long-term deterioration

(退化)of my own native language abilities, as well as those of my fellow English speakers. This

deterioration can take different forms, one of which is the non-standard usage of the words. Its

source is, specifically, Chinese culture, and its target is native English speakers. Below I give

some of the common ways that the Chinese environment strikes down the native speaker’s

linguistic competence (语言能力) .

Net bar: In Chinese, they’re called “网吧”, This is fine. We generally call them “Internet

café” in English. The Chinese seem to think that “网吧” should be translated as “net bar” in

English, and many careless foreigners have even been misled by this idea.

Name card: In the English-speaking world, business people have lots of business meetings to

discuss business. On these occasions, business people exchange specially printed pieces of paper

known as business cards. In China everyone calls them “name cards”, because in Chinese they are

called “名片” and “name card” is a more direct translation .

Bean curd. It’s called “tofu,” OK! This English word comes from Chinese. I know all

dictionaries sold in China will tell you “豆腐” is “bean curd” in English and that may represent

the two characters nicely, but “bean curd” is more a definition than a comfortable translation. And

yet some foreigners start saying “bean curd” rather than tofu. Deplorable (可悲的)！

I think you see the pattern. The normal native way of saying something is replaced by a more

unnatural way of saying it using other English words.

If you’ve been living in China for a while and find yourself using all of these, you might be

on dangerous ground. You’re going to start making a fool of yourself back home. Look out! Resist

Chinglish attempts at destroying your own command of your mother tongue!

41．Which of the following expressions is more native?

A．Bean curd B．Tofu C．Name card D．Net bar

42．How does the writer support his main idea?

A．By comparison B．By examples

C．By reasoning D．By refutation (反驳)

43．What is the main cause of the non-standard usage of the words by native English speakers?

A．Chinese culture B．Chinese tradition

C．English flexibility(灵活性) D．Chinese polluted environment

44．The mentioned Chinglish words are created in the way ________.

A．that is generally accepted by native English speakers

B．that is often misunderstood by native English speakers

C．that sounds reasonable to native English speakers

D．that sounds natural to some Chinese

B

Lie in bed, by an open window, and listen…

“No air conditioning? How can you sleep?” a friend asks, horrified. I tell her my family has

decided to shut the air conditioner off and reduce our electric bill.

On this first night of our cost-cutting adventure, it's only 85 degrees. We're not going to suffer,

but the three kids complain anyway.

They've grown up in 72-degree comfort, protected from the world outside.

“How do you open these windows?” my husband asks. Shaking the metal ribs(插销), he finally

releases one. Bug bodies decorate the window shelf. As we spring the windows one by one, the

night noises howl outside---and in.

“It's too hot to sleep,” my 13-year-old daughter complains. “I’m about to die from this heat,”

her brother complains down the hall. “Just try it tonight,” I tell them. In truth I'm too tired to argue

for long. My face is sweaty, but I lie quietly listening to the cricket choirs(合唱) outside that

remind me of childhood.

The neighbor's dog howls. Probably a passing squirrel. It's been years since I've taken the time

to really listen to the night.

I think about Grandma, who lived to 92 and still helped with my Mom's gardening until just a

few weeks before she died. And then, I'm back there at her house in the summer heat of my

childhood. I move my pillow to the foot of Grandma's bed and angle my face toward the open

window. I turn the pillow, hunting for the cooler side.

Grandma sees me turn over and over. “If you'll just watch for the breeze(清风),” she says,

“you'll cool off and fall asleep.” She cranks up the Venetian blinds(百叶窗). I stare at the filmy

white curtain, willing it to move. Lying still, waiting, I suddenly notice the life outside the window.

The bug chorus. Neighbors, porch-sitting late, speak in unclear words that calm me.

“Mom, did you hear that?” my seven-year-old son cries. “I think it was an owl family.”

“Probably,” I tell him. “Just keep listening…”

Without the working air conditioner, the house is oddly peaceful, and the unfilt
