河北省邯郸市2016高考英语完形填空和阅读理解一轮练习(9) 阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Only three local students won Chinese Blog (博客) Competition. And 15 of the 18 awards went to students from China.
170 students’ task: to get a fully-designed blog up and running, complete with many postings based on a theme of choice—all written in Chinese.
Themes ranged from local opinions—such as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centre—to food blogs.
The entries were judged on language proficiency (熟练程度) and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers.
Academics from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University, IT experts, and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges. In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award list—the rest of the awards were swept up by students from China.
"No surprise,” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37, teacher-in-charge from Innova Junior College, which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and their grasp of the Chinese language.”
One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao, 19, from the Saint Andrew’s Junior College, who spared no effort in researching for and writing her blog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce, complete with pictures and even podcasts (播客). Her advice for bloggers is: Be responsible.
"Some bloggers out there only seek to blame the authorities and other bloggers,” said Miss Gao, “I think they lack responsibilities and there is no value to their posts.”

Some of Beijing Zoo’s animals are suffering menu changes because of the bird flu spread in Asia.
Gone are the lions’ and tigers’ delightful “live” chicken dinners. In their menu , instead , are raw beef and mutton. While the lions and tigers go chickenless, the zoo’s birds are also receiving some special and uncomfortable treatment these days. The peacocks in Badaling Safari Animal World, who used to be featured in the park and could walk around showing off their beautiful feathers, now are forced to stay in cages. And turkeys at the Beijing Zoo—believed to be most likely to suffer from the bird flu virus —have been moved out of their old home to places separate from visitors. In most cases, display areas with birds have been closed for health reasons.
Yet a good thing about the present situation is that the living conditions of the zoo’s birds are being improved , with keepers keeping the display areas cleaner and not as crowded as before . Almost all zoos have done more frequent cleaning and disinfection for bird cages —measures to prevent infection.
In this special period , pigeons(鸽子)are frowned upon . In Beijing , many homing pigeon lovers use balconies (阳台)to build cages for birds . Most neighbours are fed up with these cages since they can produce waste and feathers . Now the city’s homing pigeon organization is asking all its members to stop letting pigeons out of their cages and keep cages clean. Still, pigeons and some other birds seem less lovely to people than before.
As a Chinese newspaper put it : “Doves , are you still angels ?”
1. Which of the following shows the menu changes in the Beijing Zoo?{singlish,oxford}.
A. The lions and tigers have “live” chicken dinners. B. The lions and tigers eat raw beef and mutton. C. The lions and tigers have chickens only for supper. D. The lions and tigers have beef and mutton for part of meals.
答案解析:答案为B。本题为细节题。从第二段第一、二句 “Gone are the lions’ and tigers’
delightful “live” chicken dinners. In their menu , instead , are raw beef and mutton.”可知,狮子和老虎不再享受活鸡的美餐,而是吃生牛肉和羊肉。故答案为B。 2. We can conclude from the text that .
A. turkeys have been moved out of the zoo because of the bird flu virus B. peacock shows used to be free of charge C. people can hardly see peacock shows in the Beijing Zoo now D. homing pigeons are safe from the bird flu virus
答案解析:答案为C。本题为细节推理题。从第二段的最后一句话 “The peacocks in Badaling Safari Animal World,, now are forced to stay in cages.”可知,孔雀现在被关在笼子里,因此人们几乎在北京动物园看不到它们了。故答案为C。
3. The underlined sentence in the text means “ ”.
A. pigeons receive the best care B. people are worried about pigeons D. people show no C. people feel displeased with pigeons
interest in pigeons
答案解析:答案为C。本题为句意推断题。本句出现在倒数第二段的首句,也是该段的中心句(topic sentence)。结合后文 “Most neighbours are fed up with these cages … Still, pigeons and some other birds seem less lovely to people than before”可知,人们受够了鸽子,并且鸽子和其他的鸟儿也似乎没有以往那么可爱了。这些细节都是在证明首句的中心句,表达的意思是人们对鸽子感到不愉快。故答案为C。

The Cost of Higher Education
Individuals(个人)should pay for their higher education.
A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates earn
more than non-graduates. Meanwhile,social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However,only some people have it. So the individual,not the taxpayers,should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources(资源)of the government. Using taxpayers’ money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one ofthem.
Full government funding(资助)is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford,where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries,Smith argued,were the enemy of hard work;and when the academics were lazy and incompetent,the students were similarly lazy. If students have to pay for their education,they not only work harder,but also demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching seriously,and giving less time to their own research interests,that is surely something to celebrate.
Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy(经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth,but so do all the businesses that invest(投资)and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive,you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest. Therefore,it is the individual,not the government,who should pay for their university education.
1. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to .
A. taxpayers
B. pressing calls
篇二:《英国留学申请全程记录:准备面试选校心得分享》
官网:/英国留学申请全程记录:准备面试选校心得分享我是“面粉”,在国内一所外语学校读高二,同时也在学习A-level课程,今年已经在读A2了。在忙碌了一年多以后,前两天刚完成了英国牛津大学的本科面试,现在已经回国啦!
在牛津的这一周经历了很多新鲜有趣的事情,面试时也是和牛津的tutor们斗智斗勇。
想必大家也会对这段经历很好奇,现在面粉来和大家分享一下我整个申学过程,包括去牛津面试的经验。去英国留学的小伙伴们,特别是想去牛津读本科的小伙伴们注意啦!
准备篇
首先,想去英国读本科,最方便的途径应该就是读A-level课程,也就是“英国高考”。 相比于IB SAT和AP这种课程,A-level对于英国高校的申请更有优势,也相对于容易一些。
况且就牛津的笔试、面试来讲,他们的考试大纲也是按当地学生的课程来安排的。
对于那些正在犹豫选择哪种国际课程的小伙伴,面粉的建议是,先选定国家,去美国就考SAT AP TOEFL,去英国就考A-level和IELTS,最好不要有“撒网”的心态,想要每个国家都试一试,专心考一个国家,甚至一个学校,效果会更好。
去哪里读A-level也是一个需要慎重考虑的问题,选择学校时一定要去研究他的办学资质、师资和提供的A-level课程的exam board。
国内的学生一般有三种选择,一是读国内的国际学校。很多国内的机构保留了中式教育方法,所以成绩都非常优秀,出了不少牛津剑桥的学生。
但是,同样有些依托著名高中的国际部听起来很牛气,实际的教学水平令人担忧。如果轻信广告报到一所“野鸡”学校,教学质量很难保证。{singlish,oxford}.
官网:/二是去英国读私立高中,这种方式对语言水平真的有很大提升,而且可以学习的科目会更多(By the way,想在大学学习文科的小伙伴最好去英国读高中啦)。
但是,这种学生一定要有很强的自控能力,并且最好外向一些,不然很难适应那边的学习生活。 三是去新加坡读A-level,这种方式既节省费用,生活环境也没有变化很多。但缺点在于,Singlish真的不太好听,而且新加坡的A-level难到HOLD不住啊(如果你是学霸当我没说)。
申请大学一般需要3门A-level成绩,选择科目时最好参考一下你想去的大学的专业要求学哪一科,推荐学哪一科(如上图)。
面粉我当时是选了Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry,但是,因为Chemistry太难,在A2被我drop掉啦,所以我最后申请大学时报的是数学、进阶数学、物理这三门成绩还有化学的AS。
我还去考了Chinese和IGCSE的English as a second language,这是一个考到C就可以代替雅思6.5分的考试,不过,大多数大学都是不认中文的,牛津剑桥IC也不承认ESL,所以没有什么太大的作用啦。
如果想申请牛津大学,AS的成绩最好可以在第一次考试就考到A,如果考了A2最好是A*。大家读AS时就可以不用想那么多,专心考试就好啦!
英国大学不像美国大学一样要求那么多课外活动的,有一些很好,但是最重要的还是你的成绩啦,大家加油!
官网:/申请篇
Why UK? Why Oxford? Why XX college? Why XX major?
这些问题都是传说中牛津面试会问到的general question(反正我是没被问到啦),但是,申请大学前自己一定要问自己一下,英国是否适合我?我为什么要申请这所学校/学院?我为什么要学习这个专业?我是否真的喜欢并且适合这个专业?
对于国内读书的小伙伴们还有一个很残酷的问题,我学习的A-level课程是否可以报这个专业?如果你对于这些问题都有很坚定的回答,那么,恭喜你,你可以去报你的dream school啦!
就我个人来讲,英国的教育体制很适合我,大学本科只有三年,研究生只有一年,节省很多时间。 并且与美国不同,英国大学一进入学校就开始学习自己的专业。
对于我这种严重偏科的人,不读general真的是一件很幸福的事!英国高校的教学质量也是享誉全球,G5更是声名远扬。
并且,在两年前的一次游学中,来到英国最古老的大学——牛津大学体验到那种环境与学术氛围之后,我更加坚定了来英国读书的想法。
官网:/
关于专业,面粉是从职业角度考虑的。由于中国紧缺精算方面的人才,我希望毕业可以从事这方面的职业。
但是,很多英国大学又没有精算的课程,所以我选择去读与之相近的Mathematics and Statistics。
大学的官网上都会有详细的introduction,牛津还会写上他们每年的录取率,这些大家可以参考一下。
官网:/
至于选校,UCAS可以报考5所大学,给大家推荐几个有用的排名:The Times Higher Education和The Research Excellence Framework。
这两个排名都是分大学排名和专业排名的,THE还有世界排名,建议都参考一下。上海交大的排名基本可以忽略,往年的QS一直都很赞,但不知为何2014年的排名有点水。

篇三:《中式英语Chinglish》
第一.中式爆笑词短句{singlish,oxford}.
watch sister 表妹 American Chinese not enough 美中不足 colour wolf 色狼 People mountain and people sea. 人山人海 seven up eight down 七上八下 you have two down son。你有两下子 die pig not pa hot water tang 死猪不怕开水烫
第二 中式英语的历史简介
Chinglish refers to spoken or written English language that is influenced by the Chinese language.[1] Meanwhile, inHong Kong, Macau, and Guangdong Province, the term "Chinglish" refers mainly to Cantonese-influenced English. This term is commonly applied to ungrammatical or nonsensical English in Chinese contexts, and may have pejorative or deprecatingconnotations.[2] Other terms used to describe the phenomenon include "Chinese English", "China English", and "Sinicized English".[3] The degree to which a Chinese variety of English exists or can be considered legitimate is disputed. The English word Chinglish is a portmanteau of Chinese and English. The Chinese equivalent is Zhōngshì Yīngyǔ The Oxford English Dictionary defines the noun and adjective. Chinglish, n. and a. colloq. (freq. depreciative). Brit. /tgl/, U.S. /t(g)l/. Forms: 19– Chinglish, 19– Chenglish [rare].
[Blend of Chinese n. and English n. Compare earlier Japlish n., Spanglish n. Compare also Hinglish n.2, Singlish n.2]
A. n. A mixture of Chinese and English; esp. a variety of English used by speakers of Chinese or in a bilingual Chinese and English context, typically incorporating some Chinese vocabulary or constructions, or English terms specific to a Chinese context. Also: the vocabulary of, or an individual word from, such a variety. Cf. Singlish n.2
B adj. Of or relating to Chinglish; expressed in Chinglish.[ English first arrived in China in 1637, when British traders reached Macao and Guangzhou (or Canton).[14] In the 17th century, Chinese Pidgin English originated as a lingua franca for trade between British people and mostly Cantonese-speaking Chinese people. This proto-Chinglish term "pidgin" originated as a Chinese mispronunciation of the English word "business".[15] Following the First and Second Opium War between 1839–1842, Pidgin English spread north to Shanghai and other treaty ports.[16] Pidgin usage began to decline in the late 19th century when Chinese and missionary schools began teaching Standard English.[17] In 1982, the People's Republic of China made English the main foreign language in education.[18] Current estimates for the number of English learners in China range from 300 to 500 million.[
第三.盘点中式英语写进牛津字典
《牛津英语词典》中一共收入了245个由汉语引进的英语词,其中包括feng shui()、Mao tai(茅台酒)、gan bu(干部)等词汇。在245个词汇中,其实有一个句子,典型的 Chinglish(中式英语)。这句中式英语不是我们大家所熟悉并津津乐道的Long time no see,更不是bu zhe teng, 而是no can do.《牛津英语辞典》对no can do这句中式英语的解释是:
It is not possible, it cannot be done; " I can't do it."{singlish,oxford}.
“no zuo no die”,已被悄然编入知名的在线英语俚语词典—————“城市词典(U rban Dictionary)”之中,此外,另有gelivable(给力)、tuhao(土豪),people mountain people sea(人山人海),you can you up(你行你上啊)等多个也被收录其中。 、
第四.典型中式英语错误 英语中12个典型的中国式错误
1. 这个价格对我挺合适的。
误:The price is very suitable for me。
正:The price is right。
提示:suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上,如:下列节目儿童不宜。The following programme is not suitable for children. 这句话用后面的说法会更合适。
2. 你是做什么工作的呢?
误:What's your job?
正:Are you working at the moment?
What kind of work are you?
提示:what's your job这种说法难道也有毛病吗?是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业,如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子,所以您要问:目前您是在上班吗?Are you working at the moment?接下来您才问:目前您在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢?What line of work are you in?
3. 明天我有事情要做。
误:I have something to do tomorrow。
正:I am tied up all day tomorrow。
提示:用I have something to do来表示您很忙,这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做,躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙,脱不开身:I'm tied up。还有其他的说法:I can't make it at that time. I'd love to, but I can't, I have to stay at home。
4. 我想我不行。
误:I think I can't。
正:I don't think I can。
提示:汉语里说“我想我不会”的时候,英语里面总是说“我不认为我会”。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候,只要留心,也会习惯英语的表达习惯的。
5. 现在几点钟了?
误:What time is it now?
正:What time is it, please?
提示:What time is it now是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子,讲英语的时候没有必要说now,因为您不可能问what time was it yesterday, 或者what time is it tommorow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是:请问现在几点了?还有一种说法是:How are we doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适。
6. 我的英语很糟糕。
误:My English is poor。
正:I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving。
提示:有人开玩笑说,全中国人最擅长的一句英文是:My English is poor. 外国人遇到自己外语不好的情况,他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I am getting better。
7. ——这个春节你回家吗?
