Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it ’s great.
Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming(破壞)the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted(面目全非的).
Everyone should just relax, say linguists(語言學(xué)家)．They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says. "Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."
Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.
However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future."
Perhaps, we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Text is just for fun."
小題1:What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To give an example of foreign paragraph.
B．To show an example of creative method.
C．To express worries about using Netspeak.
D．To lead in the topic of Netspeak.
小題2:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Cynthia McVry points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.
B．Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.
C．David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.
D．James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.
小題3: The expression "bet your bottom dollar" in paragrap5 means_______.
A．be fairly sureB．be greatly surprised
C．think it a pityD．find it interesting
小題4:What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on Internet
B．Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?
C．Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?

試題分析：本文是關(guān)于一種新的語言表達(dá)方式的議論文。這種方式受到學(xué)生們的歡迎，但是遭到專家的質(zhì)疑。
小題1:D 細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。在審題過程中請大家主語是main purpose而不是 main idea ,第一段就一句話，而且是讓人咋看起開一頭霧水的句子，這樣的句子用在開頭，很明顯是為了引出下文�；蛘叽蠹铱梢赃\(yùn)用排除法 文章主要對象是netspeak ,而A，B兩項沒有提到 netspeak 故排除，又因為C選項在感情色彩上是負(fù)面，與原文感情色彩相違背，故答案選擇 D
小題2:C細(xì)節(jié)推斷題，解題方法依據(jù)選項中的人物專有名詞來定位找要點(diǎn)，A 定位詞為CM在原文倒數(shù)第二個自然段出現(xiàn)，其中引號的句子中用了worries 與答案中的properly 相反，所以排除；B定位詞為GN和Standard English.文中出現(xiàn)Standard English.是在倒數(shù)第二個自然段與CM相關(guān)的信息，所以此選項為典型的張冠李戴；D選項為片面的夸大其辭，文章層面只能看到language is changing 而沒有任何細(xì)節(jié)提到improving 所以根據(jù)文章第四自然段可以推斷出C為正確選項。
小題3:A短語推斷題，解題方法 結(jié)合上下文邏輯關(guān)系，上文提到年輕人會harming 語言，下文接著說當(dāng)他們成為父母后，they too will think this way .他們也會這么想，那么中間空出一定是強(qiáng)調(diào)，并凸顯出下文，那么最滿足條件的解釋是A選項。
小題4:B主旨大意題，結(jié)合專家的觀點(diǎn)，既引號中的句子我們可以斷定，全文的中心思想是為了凸顯出netspeak的好，A 選項文章沒有凸顯出widely -used  C 選項沒有重點(diǎn)提及到language learning D文章觀點(diǎn)很鮮明，并不是正反觀點(diǎn)的論證 故答案選擇 B。

All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer． 
Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities.

Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.
