     WASHINGTON-Thanks to strong economic growth and a growing middle class, China has surpassed
India for the first time this decade to become the country that sends the most students to the United States,
according to the annual report the Institute of International Education (IIE) released (发布) on Monday.
     The number of Chinese students in the US has increased by 30 percent during the 2009-2010 academic
year to about 128,000, or 18.3 percent of the total international student population in the country, the report
said.
     "The Chinese economy is booming. The growing middle class are able to send their children abroad for
higher education as many families have only one child and they use all their resources on that child." said
Peggy Blumenthal, executive vice-president of IIE.
     Another reason is that many Chinese parents are attracted by the US higher education system. "American
undergraduate education is really appealing Chinese parents who are thinking about what is needed for China
in the future and how their son or daughter can be employable," Blumenthal said.
     Chinese overseas study agencies expect more Chinese students to go to the US next year, partly due to
the weakened US dollar and more flexible visa policies.
     The study and living costs for an undergraduate Chinese student in the US every year are roughly about
250,000 yuan ($37,000), and the depreciation of the US dollar may save about 10 percent of the cost, said
Liu Qingsheng, a senior manager with Shinyway International, a Beijing-based overseas study consulting
company.
     A more flexible visa policy, which the US started to adopt in 2008, is another major attraction, he said.
1. According to the passage, we know during the 2009-2010 academic year, _____.
A. the number of India students in the US has increased
B. as many as 128,000 international students study in the US
C. the number of the Chinese students in the US make first
D. more than 18.3 percent of Chinese students study abroad
2. More Chinese students go to US universities because of the following reasons except _____.
A. a more flexible visa policy
B. the US higher education system
C. a proving middle class in China

  Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Interact forum(论坛)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 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)ora Qing wa(frog, referring to an ugly looking male)is, you will possibly be regarded as a CaiNiao!

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳答案,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

In this age of ours, I find that almost all of my friends are becoming mere voices.

Not too long ago when friends came, they would fill half the drawing room and their voices would penetrate the four walls and disturb all the neighbors. Now they have all become, step by step, into invisible and untouched beings, whose tiny voices can only be heard by one ear through the telephone, no louder than the mosquitoes(蚊子).

Since this has become a necessary part of modern life, I too have learnt to live with this “ear language”. Many friends have become more distant because they are not very good at this way of communication(交流), others have become closer through ear language, and there are some friends I know by voice only. There is one particular voice friend I got to know through a very curious incident.

One day my telephone rang. When I lifted the receiver- a young lady’s voice informed me that she was phoning in answer to an advertisement for a night club program hostess. Obviously she had got the wrong number. The incident should have ended there and then. Actually, it was a sweet voice, only her poor imitation(模仿)of Hong Kong pronunciation and intonation got on my nerve and especially the “wa!” gave me the goose flesh. I told her that if I were the boss of the club, I wouldn’t give her a second thought because of her poor pronunciation. The young lady at the other end of the phone immediately came up with a surprising suggestion that, of course in her true local accent, she wanted to learn proper standard spoken Chinese speech from me, because she valued every chance very much. To my great surprise, we became “phone” friends. Every day, at the agreed time, she would ring me up and our “lesson” would begin. And she was tested and interviewed by a radio station in the south and got acceptd. She phoned me for the last time to thank me and to say good-bye. We had already formed a very deep “voice” friendship and have left deep unchangeable vocal(听觉的) impressions in each other’s mind. Any sudden appearance of visual images(视觉印象), good or bad, could only be destructive.

56.The underlined word penetrate in the first paragraph means _____.

A.pass quickly by              B.force a way through 

C.hear accidentally       D.make a hole in

57.The passage suggests us that _____.

A.they would be friends forever

B.they would meet in the future

C.they hadn’t had and wouldn’t have any interview

D.the young lady was able to sing sweet songs in standard Chinese

58.We know from the passage that _____.

A.in modern times people get in touch less than before

B.young people enjoys getting together very much

C.people are more ready to help others

D.people can earn a lot of money in the night club

59.Which is wrong according to the passage?

A.The writer taught the young lady without pay.

B.The young lady can’t be a native of Beijing.

C.The writer is not fond of getting in touch with others

D.Neither of the two is ready to see each other.
