25、Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum(论坛) asking what “PK” meant.
“My family has been watching the ‘I Am the Singer’ singing competition TV programme. My little daughter asked me what ‘PK’ meant, but I had no idea,” explained the puzzled father.
To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, “PK” is short for “Player Kill”, in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.
In the case of the “I Am the Singer” singing competition, “PK” was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition raking.
Like this father, Chinese teachers at Middle schools have also been finding their students using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write the compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn’t understand.
“My ‘GG’ came back this summer from college. He told me I’ve grown up to be a ‘PLMM’. I loved to ‘FB’ with him together; he always took me to the ‘KPM’,” went one composition.
“GG” means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). “PLMM” is Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). “FB” means Fu Bai (corruption). “KPM” is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald’s.
Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.

26、An “egg-laying” cliff (产蛋岩)in Southwest China has attracted(吸引)a lot of interest online recently.
The cliff, in Sandu County, Guizhou Province, has many egg-shaped rocks sitting on it. Most rocks are the size of a football, while smaller ones are still half inside the cliff, with only parts of them standing out.
According to the local government, the cliff is in a place of interest that has been open to public since 2010. It is about 100 meters long and five meters high. Local people said that some “eggs” fall off the cliff every 30 years, “like a hen laying eggs.”

“In the past, people thought the rocks were symbols of good luck and took them home,” said the local people. The largest rock weighs about 300 kg, with a diameter of 60 centimeters. It’s called “the king of eggs.”

27、 There are about 6,000 languages that are spoken around the world. But 43 percent of these languages are dying out, according to UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization,联合国教科文组织).If no action is taken,some of these languages will become extinct (灭绝的).
Languages become endangered for many reasons. One is that some communities of native speakers of the endangered languages no longer exist (存在),HuffPost reported. These people leave their communities and move to cities or towns.
In addition,the languages of “dominant (占主导地位的)” cultures may drive other languages into extinction. To get better education and jobs, young people have to focus their attention on learning dominant languages rather than their own languages. Dominant languages include English,French and Mandarin (普通话).
Once a language dies, it rarely conies back to life. Governments across the globe are taking action to prevent this. In September, the US state of Alaska announced that the loss of indigenous (土著的)languages was an“emergency”(紧急事件). It is now working to give new life to such languages, Quartz reported.
In New Zealand,the government has said it wants over 20 percent of the country’s population to be able to speak Maori, an indigenous language, by 2040. It plans to provide Maori lessons in all New Zealand schools by 2025, The New York Times reported.
China is also trying to protect its languages. About 130 languages are spoken in China, even more than the number of ethnic groups in the country. In 2015, the government started a project to record all the languages spoken in China, Xinhua reported. Universities like Minzu University of China have created minority language majors (专业)for their students.
【1】How many languages worldwide are in danger of dying out?
A. About 2,580 languages. B. About 3,420 languages.
C. About 4,300 languages. D. About 6,000 languages.

A. Because no one wants to speak it.
B. Because it is too difficult to learn.
C. Because it is used less in daily life.
D. Because schools don5t offer lessons for it
【3】What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The learning of dominant languages.

28、 As a student, books play an important role in our life. As Gorky once said, “Books are the ladder of human progress.” Then which book is your favorite?
As a book lover, my favorite book is Robinson Crusoe. This book is 【1】(写)by Daniel Defoe, and it has already 【2】(影响)lots of students like me. Every time I read it, I see a tall and strong image of Robinson. The 【3】(整个的)book tells the stories of his adventures and courage. He is such a brave man that I【4】(钦佩) him so much. When Robinson was young, he dreamt of sailing on the sea day and night. Unfortunately, after his grown up, he 【5】(实际上)lived on a desert island for twenty-eight years. He【6】(经受)a lot. But the idea of 【7】 up(放弃)never came to his mind. During these years, he had to endure hunger, fight against 【8】(自然的)disasters, and overcome many 【9】(困难). But the great man went out of the desert island at last because of his fighting 【10】(精神), and hard-working attitude. That story encouraged me deeply. Our life cannot be lucky all the time. But no pains no gains. And only hard work can lead us to a better life.
