Perhaps you have seen some strange English before, like “big meter” for dami and “small buy” for xiaomaibu in Chinese. These are examples of incorrect translations (翻译) in China. They can be seen everywhere.

    While many people find this “Chinglish” to be funny, it also confuse (使困惑) English speakers. On Dec 1, China carried out its first national standards (规范) for the use of English in public service areas. The standards include more than 13 areas, including transportation, sports and education. This means that many Chinese words will now have standard English names.

    For example, the English words for the Chinese dishes huntun and lamian are “wonton” and “lamian noodles”. For kaochuan and mixian, the English names are “barbecue” and “rice noodles”.

    As for places, shaoniangong is called “children’s palace”. The entertainment activity nongjiale that we enjoy in rural areas is called “agritainment”. There are also many English warning (警示) phrases.

    The standards are part of efforts China has made in past years to fix incorrect English. Many cities have already fixed signs with poor English translations. Shanghai opened a 12345 hotline to encourage people to report incorrect translations.

31．Which of the following is correct about the national standards? ________

A．They was carried out on Jan 1, 2017.

B．They are China’s first translation dictionaries,

C．They have 3, 500 English-to-Chinese translations.

D．They give many Chinese words standard English names.

32．Which is the translation for “spicy hot pot”? ________

A．malatang. B．lamian.

C．hundun. D．kaochuan.

33．We can tell from the story that “agritainment” is  ________.

A．a rural place B．an entertainment activity

C．a warning sign D．a place for kids

34．Why did China come out with these standards? ________

A．To fix incorrect English.

B．To teach English speakers.

C．To improve other countries’ images.

D．To help more people learn English.

35．The last paragraph shows that  ________ .

A．some cities have already corrected all the signs

B．all the cities have corrected lots of signs

C．lots of wrong English translation signs have been fixed in many cities

D．correct translations in China can be seen everywhere

Many people love Chinese silk. It has bright colors and it feels soft and comfortable, so it is wonderful to be made into silk clothing. Silk clothing has beautiful patterns（图案）. Among them, silk plays an important part in Chinese culture.

八、阅读回答问题

“Don’t be what you used to be.” The sentence is repeated many times in a book called Green Eggs and Ham.

When I was little, my mom used to read a book called Green Eggs and Ham to me. At first I thought of it as a book about nice food. Indeed, it’s a fairy tale about a guy named Sam that wants another guy to eat green eggs and ham. The other guy doesn’t want to try them because he doesn’t like them. The story is all about trying new things. It helps you keep an open mind.

I think it’s very important to keep an open mind in life because it helps us to look at the world in a different way. It opens us up to more possibilities in life. I ever did a survey among my students. Many students tell me this is boring, or that is boring. When I ask about studying English, they say it’s boring. When I ask about the Spring Festival, you are not trying new things. You’re not exercising your mind. The mind is like a muscle that must be exercised to grow and develop. Trying new things is a great way to do it.

Doing special, personal, different, and interesting things is a good way to exercise the mind and develop new ways of thinking about the world around us.

So please try something new very often even if it is something small like going to work in a new way, or trying a new kind of food. Let’s make our life exciting!

56．What kind of book is Green Eggs and Ham? _________________

57．Why does the writer think it’s important to keep an open mind in life? ________________

58．What does the writer possibly do? ________________

59．Doing special things is the only way to exercise the mind, isn’t it? ________________

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!

Today my speech topic is Learning to get along with our parents. These days, most of us feel it hard to get on with our parents. We often get angry with our parents and even don’t talk to them for several days.

Here are some of the reasons. First, our parents only care about our marks and it makes us stressed. Second, we don’t want to communicate with them.

It’s time for us to change. First, we should communicate with our parents by sharing our joys and worries with them. Then, we can help do some housework to show our love for them. Finally, we should achieve a balance between our schoolwork and hobbies so that they won’t feel worried about us.

That’s all for my speech. Thank you!
