Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum (論壇) asking what "PK" meant. "My family has been watching the 'Super Girl' singing competition TV program . 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 "Super Girl" 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 ranking.
Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students' compositions using Internet jargons (行話) which are difficult to understand. A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write 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" refers to 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.
If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!

| A．explain some Internet language |
| B．suggest common Internet language |
| C．laugh at the Beijing father |
| D．draw our attention to Internet language |
| A．Fathers can't possibly know it. |

The Iceberg Was Only Part ofIt
What doomed the Titanic is well known, at least in outline. On a moonless night of April 15, 1912, the ship hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic ,with 1,500 lives lost.
A century later many people presented new theories to explain the real reason for the disaster. Now two new studies argue that rare states of nature played major roles in the disaster.
The first says Earth’s nearness to the Moon and the Sun — a proximity not matched in more than 1,000 years — resulted in record tides that help explain why the Titanic met with so much ice, including the fatal iceberg.
Recently, a team of researchers found an apparent explanation in the heavens. They discovered that Earth had come unusually close to the Sun and Moon that winter, enhancing their gravitational pulls on the ocean and producing record tides. The rare orbits took place between December 1911 and February 1912 — about two months before the disaster came about. The researchers suggest that the high tides refloated masses of icebergs traditionally stuck along the coastlines of Labrador and Newfoundland and sent them adrift into the North Atlantic shipping lanes.
And a second, put forward by a Titanic historian from Britain, contends that the icy waters created ideal conditions for an unusual type of mirage(海市蜃樓) that hid icebergs from lookouts whose duty was to watch carefully for danger ahead and confused a nearby ship as to the liner’s identity, delaying rescue efforts for hours.
Most people know mirages as natural phenomena caused when hot air near the Earth’s surface bends light rays upward. In a desert, the effect prompts lost travelers to mistake patches of blue sky for pools of water. But another kind of mirage occurs when cold air bends light rays downward. In that case, observers can see objects and settings far over the horizon. The images often undergo quick distortions — not unlike the wavy reflections in a funhouse mirror.
Now, scholars of the Titanic are debating these new theories. Some have different opinions on it. Over all, though, many experts are applauding the fresh perspectives.
1.The underlined word "It" in the title probably refers to _______.
|
A．the Titanic |
B．the cause of the disaster |
|
C．the record tide |
D．an unusual mirage |
2.According to Theory First, what was the right chain of causes leading to the Titanic’s disaster?
① record tides’ forming and icebergs’ being refloated
② icebergs’ being drifted into the North Atlantic shipping lanes
③ the Earth’s strange closing to the Sun and the Moon
④ increasing of the gravitational force on the ocean
|
A．①→②→③→④ |
B．②→③→④→① |
C．④→③→②→① |
D．③→④→①→② |
3.According to Theory Second, the disaster happened to the Titanic mainly because______.
|
A．the freezing weather made the watcher not be able to watch clear |
|
B．the mirage made the watcher not find icebergs and a nearby ship delay rescuing |
|
C．the mirage on the sea attracted the watcher and made him forget his work |
|
D．the high tides drove the icebergs float so fast that the watcher didn’t respond to them |
4.What is the chief function of the sixth paragraph?
|
A．to explain to the readers the ways of the mirage forming |
|
B．to infer the possibility of the mirage appearing |
|
C．to summarize the various kinds of the mirage |
|
D．to analyze the conditions of the mirage arising |
5.This passage is organized generally in the pattern of________.
|
A．comparison and contrast |

|
C．time and events |
D．definition and classification（分類) |

Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.
Opposite to what many people believe, if you don't eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
1.During the test, those who were tested were given ________.
|
A．no breakfast at all |
B．very rich breakfast |
|
C．little food for breakfast |
D．different breakfasts or none |
2.The results of the test show that ________.
|
A．breakfast has great effect (影響) on work and studies |
|
B．breakfast has little to do with a person’s work |
|
C．a person will work better if he has a simple breakfast |
|
D．those working with brains should have much for breakfast |
3.The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don't eat breakfast, you will ____.
|
A．lose weight |
B．not lose weight |
C．be healthier |
D．gain a lot of weight |
4.Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
|
A．Poor breakfast affects those who work with brains. |
|
B．Morning diet may cause one to get fatter. |
|
C．Reducing lunch and supper is of less value in weight losing. |
|
D．Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight. |
