• 1、To Karanth, everyone in every part of the world is born with a fundamental connection to nature. Growing up in Karnataka, she began accompanying her father into the wild at just two years old. But in her hometown, kids grew up with a negative perspective (看法) on wildlife. Elephants destroyed crops and sometimes people were badly injured or killed. Karanth discovered kids wouldn't appreciate the fact that it's the best place to witness extraordinary animals.

    In 2017, a conversation with her friend Gabby shifted her mindset towards education. Within half a year, Karanth and Gabby had the first version of "Wild Shaale" on their hands. A program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife, Wild Shaale aims to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife tolerance to concepts of conservation (保护) and environmental issues. The conservation education program fills a gap in environmental learning.

    While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local government, Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether it's delivered effectively and consistently. "You have to visualize (想象) what these schools look like. They may not have electricity—forget having computers, internet, iPads, or anything. "

    Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the first step to changing perceptions (看法) and hopefully, behaviors. "It comes down to the same things: we need food; we need water; we need space. Then they start to understand why situations of conflict arise," Karanth says. "But then how do you convince them not to get angry, not to act in a way that leads to harm? That's something we're trying to work on. It's not easy."

    (1)、What problem might Karanth's hometown have faced?
    A、Human-wildlife conflict. B、Loss of wildlife habitats. C、Overpopulation of elephants. D、Disregard for wildlife balance.
    (2)、Why did Karanth launch the program Wild Shaale?
    A、To help students identify animals. B、To fill a gap in local education. C、To change how students perceive wildlife. D、To publicize wildlife diversity.
    (3)、What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
    A、The support for the plan. B、The barrier to the program. C、The curriculum arrangement. D、The schools' conditions.
    (4)、What is Karanth trying to achieve in the program?
    A、A change in humans' attitudes and behavior. B、A breakthrough in environmental studies. C、Appropriate ways to end local conflicts. D、Approaches to changing animals' behavior.

  • 9、​​​​​​​A year ago I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher said again and again that it was important.

    One day, I happened to1 an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner shook his head, saying, "You don't say! You don't say!" I was2 . I thought, perhaps this is not a3 topic. Well, I'd better change the topic. So I said to him, "Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall?4 the way, have you ever5 there?"

    "Certainly, everyone back home will6 me if I leave China without seeing it. It was great." I said, "The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. It is a place of7." Soon I was interrupted again by his words, "8!" I couldn't9 asking, "Why do you ask me not to talk about it?" "Well, I didn't ask you to do so," he answered, gently surprised.

    I said, "Didn't you say ‘You don't say'?"

    Hearing this, the Englishman10 to tears. He began to11, "‘You don't say' actually means ‘really?'. It is an12 of surprise. Perhaps you don't pay attention13 English idioms."

  • 11、China's hot word, tuhao, may be in Oxford English Dictionary.

    ​In Chinese, tu means rude and hao means rich. In recent years, people use this term to describe those who spend money in an unreasonable way. The word became more popular with Apple's gold-colored iPhone, which is loved by China's rich people. The color became known as "tuhao golden". The word is now often used to refer to people who have money but lack taste.

    ​There are two other Chinese hot words: dama and No Zuo No Die, which may also be taken in the dictionary. Dama, meaning middle-aged women, was first used in the Western media by the Wall Street Journal. Thousands of Chinese women were buying a large amount of gold when the gold price had gone down. Another phrase No Zuo No Die, meaning if you don't do stupid things, they won't come back to bite you, is also very popular. Other words, such as Maotai, Chinglish and dim sum have also been included in the dictionary.

    ​BBC World News recently made a special program called "Tuhao, let's be friends!"" The frequent use of Chinglish by foreign media suggests that foreign people are looking more to the lifestyle and popular culture of China," says Zhang Yiwu, professor of Beijing University.

    ​What does this trend suggest about the Chinese language's influence?

    ​Xing Hongbing, a professor from Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU) said "These show that Chinglish is now being accepted by the rest of the world and they play important roles in daily life of Chinese. Behind these Chinglish words and phrases are the Chinese culture. They are reflections of the changes and trends in the Chinese society and they help people from other countries to understand what's happening in China."

    (1)、Which of the following words is NOT a hot Chinglish word?
    A、Dama B、Karaoke C、Tuhao D、Dim sum
    (2)、The word "dama" becomes so popular because ________.
    A、they are wealthy middle-aged women B、they bought gold crazily when the price was down C、they made the gold price up D、they worked on the Wall Street
    (3)、According to the passage, Xing Hongbing agreed that _________.
    A、Foreigners want to know more about the culture of China from Chinglish. B、Chinglish hot words tell some funny things about China. C、Chinglish plays important roles in daily life of Chinese. D、Chinglish hot words are so vivid that people like using them a lot.
    (4)、What's the purpose of writing this article?
    A、To describe the hot words in Oxford English Dictionary. B、To explain the meanings of some Chinese hot words. C、To describe the use of Chinglish hot words and their influence. D、To show the different opinions about Chinglish hot words.
