21、   Slang(俚语) is very informal language which is often used by young people. It’s hard to keep up to date with it as new words and phrases appear and evolve (发展). Living in a multicultural society has an effect on language, especially on the young, whose friends are often from a mix of backgrounds. TV and music also have a big impact. A complete list of slang is difficult to make; by the time it was finished, the list would be out of date. However, here are a few examples:

Safe, sorted, sound, cool or wicked all mean “That’s good” or “I understand”.

Instead of using different tag questions (附加疑问句) like “… isn’t it?”, “… can’t you?” or “… don’t they?”, people use “innit”.

For example, “He can dance really well, innit!” (= He can dance really well, can’t he?) or “They always say that, innit.” (= They always say that, don’t they?)

Instead of saying “very”, “really” or “completely” use “well”, for example, “I’m well tired” or “You got it well wrong!”

“Whatever” means “I don’t care”, for example, A: “But the teacher says we can’t leave until we’ve finished.” B: “Whatever. I’m going.”

“He’s fine” or “he’s fit” both mean “He’s good-looking”. Fine and fit can describe a boy or a girl.

Not everybody uses slang and not everybody likes it. A school in the north of England recently told its pupils to stop using slang words such as “hiya” (hello), “cheers” and “ta” (both mean “thank you”) if they wanted to get a place at university or a good job.

When British people use language like this, it’s no surprise that some say they can’t understand native speakers. But perhaps learners don’t need to worry so much. Research shows that most of the English spoken around the world today is between non-native speakers of the language.

So, how important is it to understand these slang words and expressions? If you watch films or TV in English, read magazines in English, chat online in English or are interested in English song lyrics, then understanding slang can be very useful. You probably won’t see much slang in your English examination, though.

【1】Why is it hard to make a complete list of slang, according to the article?

A.Because many slang words are outdated.

B.Because it is mostly used by young people.

C.Because modern slang changes very quickly.

D.Because it comes from different cultural backgrounds.

【2】What can we learn about slang from the text?

A.It prevents language from evolving.

B.It is also spread through TV and music.

C.It is more popular in the UK than in the US.

D.It has found its way into formal written English.

【3】What can we conclude from the text?

A.Knowing little slang doesn’t greatly affect how one communicates.

B.Many UK schools are encouraging students to use slang.

C.It is essential for English learners to study some British slang.

D.More English is spoken by native speakers than by non-native speakers.

22、Soot (煤) pollution is speeding up climate-driven melting in Antarctica, a new study suggests, raising questions about how to protect the delicate continent from the increasing number of humans who want to visit.

“It really makes us question, is our presence really needed?” says Alia Khan, one of the authors of the new study. “We have quite a large black carbon footprint in Antarctica, which is enhancing snow and ice melt.”

Black carbon is the leftover thing from burning plants or fossil fuels. Soot in Antarctica comes primarily from waste gases of cruise ships (游轮), vehicles and airplanes, although some pollution travels on the wind from other parts of the globe. The dark particles (微粒) coat white snow and absorb heat from the sun the way a black T-shirt does on a warm day. The blanket of dark bits speeds up melting that was already happening more quickly because of global warming.

When snow and ice are uncovered, they reflect an enormous amount of sunlight before it can turn into heat. “These are the mirrors on our planet,” says Sonia Nagorski, a scientist at the University of Alaska Southeast. “When those mirrors are covered in a film of dark bits, they don’t send back that much light and heat. That means more heat is trapped on Earth, speeding up melting and contributing to global warming.”

As a scientist who personally visits Antarctica every year, Khan says she is troubled by her own research results. On the one hand, she goes to Antarctica to collect crucial data about how quickly the snow and ice there are disappearing. “But then when we come to conclusions like this it really does make us think twice about how frequently we need to visit the continent,” she says, “and what kind of regulations should be placed on tourism as well.” That could mean requiring that cruise ships and vehicles be electric, for example, or limiting the number of visitors each year.

【1】What is Khan’s attitude towards human actions in Antarctica according to paragraph 2?

A．Angry and abusive.

B．Cold and uninterested.

C．Doubtful and anxious.

D．Admiring and delighted.

【2】What is the main cause of soot pollution in Antarctica?

A．The quick melting of ice and snow.

B．The emission from virous transport.

C．The remaining parts of burning plants.

D．The floating gases from other continents.

【3】What do we know from Nagorski?

A．The covered ice is less reflective.

B．The melting speed of ice is slower than before.

C．The dark blanket serves as a big mirror.

D．The sunlight gets increasingly stronger recently.

【4】Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A．What made our planet so polluted?

B．Who is to blame for air pollution?

C．Can electric vehicles save tourism?

D．Are we welcome to the South Pole?

24、I went with my husband to Roatan for our vacation, a tropical island off the north coast of Honduras, where tourists can swim with dolphins at Anthony’s Key Resort.

The Roatan dolphins are kept in a roped-off pen(围栏). The cheapest “swim” with the dolphins costs $ 89. Kissing costs extra. The tourists line up and, one after another, get photographed while being “kissed” by a dolphin. The tourist bends down a bit, the trainer lifts an arm, the dolphin comes up and for a few seconds holds its bottlenose to the tourist’s face. The picture is ready for purchase when the tourists exit through the gift shop.

These tourists must love dolphins, but what kind of love is that? At sea these highly intelligent creatures are always on the move, traveling thousands of miles. They are complex social creatures that need a lot of space to live in.

Yet Teri Bolton, the head trainer at Anthony’s Key Resort, defends the pen as a suitable habitat. “We feel this is the closest to keeping things as natural as possible”, she said. “You’re getting a window into how these animals really are.”

The discussion about this tourist behavior can be found on the Internet. Some people try to justify their desire, saying the fence of the pen is low; the dolphins could jump over it if they wanted to, and therefore they’re staying in captivity(圈养)by free will. One contributor to the discussion said, “Dolphins are social creatures. Jumping over the fence would mean leaving the females and their babies. Besides, by now they are used to captivity with three meals a day. Jumping over the fence would be like asking you to jump out of a spaceship alone onto Mars.”

But visiting any institution that keeps dolphins in captivity means supporting the concept of captivity. It’s like wearing a fur coat and then justifying it by saying it’s OK because the animals are already dead.

Remember that you cannot buy love, and if you try to buy dolphin love, you hurt the ones you love. In fact, a dolphin’s kiss has nothing to do with love, just as a dolphin’s smile has nothing to do with happiness. While many claim that dolphin encounters provide healing(治疗）)qualities and help you to feel better, the opposite is true for the supposed healers.

【1】How much does a tourist pay for a dolphin’s kiss?

A．More than $ 89.

B．Less than $ 89.

C．As much as $ 89.

D．It’s free of charge.

【2】What do some people on the Internet think of the pen for dolphins?

A．It’s like a prison.

B．It’s like a spaceship.

C．It’s no fun for the dolphins.

D．It’s suitable for the dolphins.

【3】What do the underlined “the supposed healers” in the last paragraph refer to?

A．Dolphin lovers.

B．Unhealthy people.

C．Dolphins in the wild.

D．Dolphins in captivity.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Are Dolphins As Smart As Humans?

B．Swimming with Dolphins: Is It Love or Not?

C．Dolphins—Creatures with Feelings

D．Kissing—A New Way to Communicate with Dolphins
