He came to Canada from China, where he was a well-respected school headmaster. I, a nine-year-old boy, never spoke much Chinese. Grandpa didn’t speak much English, but we still connected in our own way. One way we developed our relationship was over a game of Monopoly. He didn’t really understand the rules or much of what my little brother and I said; I don’t think it mattered. He laughed when he landed on our hotels. Or when he pulled a card that read: “GO TO JAIL.” He got a kick out of our amusement. I think of Grandpa when I play the trading card game Yu-Gi-Oh! with my sons. I can’t keep track of all the spells and effects involved in this game. Truthfully, I don’t care if I win or lose these games. What matters is spending time with my children and making an effort to understand their interests. I often think about my kids. At how excitedly they explain rules and how they go easy on their old man. I imagine it’s like how Grandpa felt playing Monopoly with us. Grandpa went for regular walks. He also spent his days sitting on the couch, staring out the window and singing quietly. I often thought he was bored. But as I age, I find peace in taking moments to stare out a window. Maybe I got that from him. What I learned from my grandfather was to enjoy simple pleasures in life. To see the beauty in the colors of the rainbow. To see a single leaf fall from a tree. To play Yu-Gi-Oh! with my sons. 1. Which of the following was right about the author’s grandfather? A. He didn’t speak much Chinese. B. He had fun playing Monopoly. C. He was a headmaster in Canada. D. He misunderstood his grandson. 2. How did the author’s grandfather probably feel when he stared out the window? A. Peaceful. B. Annoyed. C. Concerned. D. Bored. 3. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this story? A. To recall his grandfather’s life story. B. To share his grandfather’s influence on him. C. To advise older people to learn about kids’ games. D. To remind readers to spend more time with family. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. B B These days, young people in some English-speaking countries are speaking a strange language, especially when communicating on social media. Look at these words chosen by The Washington Post: “David Bowie dying is totes tradge” and “When Cookie hugged Jamal it made me totes emosh.” Or this sentence: “BAE. let me know if you stay in tonight.” What on earth do they mean? Well, “totes” is a short form of “total if similarly,” “tradge” mean: “tragic” and “emosh” means “emotional”. It seems that, for millennials(千禧一代), typing in this form is not only time-saving but fashionable. As you can see, many millennial slangs( 俚语 ) are formed by so-called “totesing”— the systematic abbreviation(缩写) of words. The trend might have started with “totally” becoming “totes”, but it now has spread to many other English words. The origins of other millennial slangs are more complex than “totesing”. “Bae”, for example, has been widely used by African-Americans for years. It can be an expression of closeness with one’s romantic partner or, like “sweetheart”, for someone without romantic connection. After pop singer Pharrell used the word in his work, “bae” became mainstream. Some people might think millennial slangs lower the value of the English language, but Melboume University linguist Rosey Billington doesn’t agree. She says when people are able to use a language in a creative way, they show that they know the language rules well enough to use words differently. Two other linguists, Lauren Spradlin and Taylor Jones, share the same view. The two analyzed hundreds of examples of totes-speak and discovered totesing has complex roots. It isn’t simply an adult version of baby talk, nor a clever way to minimize your word count. Rather, it is a highly organized system that relies on a speaker’s mastery of English pronunciation. It is about sounds, follows sound system of English and has strict rules. 4. Why is using e-slangs popular with young people? A. It kills time. B. It’s romantic. C. It’s in fashion. D. It’s quite fun. 5. Why is “Bae” mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To support that totesing is no baby talk. B. To inform people where it became mainstream. C. To analyze when millennial slangs were created. D. To explain the complex origins of millennial slangs. 6. Which statement may Rosey Billington agree with? A. Totesing is a loosely organized system. B. Millennial slangs lower the value of English. C. It’s simply a clever way to reduce the word count. D. Totes-speak requires a good knowledge of English. 7. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Millennial Slangs Catch on B. Disagreements over Totesing C. English Slangs Take the Lead D. The Impact of Social Media 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. A C What will man be like in the future-in 5,000 or even 50,000 years? We can only make guesses, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Again, in the modern world we use brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity(容量). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need large
