　　David has had such a terrible time this year that he should be in the Guinness book. The trouble started one morning last January when David found that his car had gone from outside his house. He hasn't seen it ever since.

　　In February David won 200,000 on the football polls. But his joy didn't last long he had forgotten to post the letter. In March he bought a new car, but he hadn't had it more than a week when someone crashed into the back of it. Two days ago David sat on a seat that someone had finished painting only minutes before. He had a lot of paint on the new trousers that he had bought only the week before.

　　August has been the worst month so far this year. David spent three days of his holiday at the airport because of strikes. When he arrived home, he discovered that someone had broken into his house. His video-recorder and television had disappeared.

　　David doesn't know what he has done to deserve all this bad luck. He just hopes his luck will change soon.

　 Linda and David have travelled by air from London to Sydney, Australia. Linda has promised (答应) her
mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely. This is something she had done
ever since she was a child. David thinks it is not a good idea to ring so far, to spend too much, and to say so
little.
     "If there were an accident." He says, they'd know soon enough. Bad news travels fast." 　　
     But Linda has promised that she would ring. "However," she says, "it doesn't cost much when you just
think that it's the other side of the world. It's only six pence per second (每秒六便士)." 　　
     "If you're on that telephone for less than one minute, I'll eat my hat,' David says,"And one minute's nearly
four pounds (英镑)." 　　
     "That's no more than you'd pay for a new hat," Linda answers. 　　
     She has asked the man at the hotel (旅馆) desk to get her the number. The telephone rings. Linda picks it
up. 　　
      "Hello, Mum. Is that you?" She says. 　　
     "Six pence per second,"David reminds (提醒) her. 　　
    ''Hello., love." It is Mrs Lee, Linda's mother, speaking from London."I can hear you very clearly just like
you are in the next room. It's a better line than when you called me from your office. Do you remember? I
shouted at that time, and still you couldn't hear me sometimes." 　　
    "Yes, Mum." Linda puts in.."I just wanted to ring to ……." 　　
    "I remember how you rang when you went to Betty's house to eat, when you were a little girl. And then
when you …" Mrs Lee is a great talker 　　
    "Nearly four pounds." says David. 　　
    Linda tries to tell her mother that it is time to say goodbye. 　　
     "Yes, all right," says Mrs Lee, "But you will write, won't you, as you did when you were at work …" 　　
     Once again, Mrs Lee talks about the pass. and there is no stopping her. "Four pounds fifty, 'says David. 　　At last, Linda cuts her mother short, promises to write, and rings off. 　　
     "There! That wasn't long, was it?" 　　
     "Four pounds, ninety pence." David answers. "And you didn't even say that we've arrived."

　　　 My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we used 2 go 2 NY2C my bro, his GF&thr 3 :-@ kids FTF. ILNY, its gr8.

　　　 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 of 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(破坏) 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(语言学家). 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 thing 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. Texting is just for fun.”

57. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?

　　　 A. To give an example of a foreign language.

　　　 B. To show an example of creative methods.

　　　 C. To express worries about using Netspeak.

　　　 D. To lead in the topic of Netspeak.

58. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

　　　 A. Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.

　　　 B. Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.

　　　 C. David Crystal things Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.

　　　 D. James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.

59. The expression “bet your bottom dollar” in Paragraph 5 means __________.

　　　 A. Be fairly sure　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. be greatly surprised　　　　　

　　　 C. think it a pity　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. find it interesting

60. What can be the best title fro the passage?

　　　 A. Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on Internet

　　　 B. Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?

　　　 C. Is Netspeak Helpful in the English Language?

　　　 D. Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages

In England, some food companies across the whole country have been told to carry out urgent (紧急的) tests on all beef products. Do you know why? That’s because some food companies used horsemeat to make beef products.

　　　 There are some examples about the horsemeat matter. In January, 2013, in a number of UK supermarkets, frozen hamburgers were found to have traces of horsemeat in them. Some frozen beef products made by food company FINDUS were found to contain horsemeat. All of the beef products made by this company have been removed from sale.

　　　 The government said that there’s nothing to suggest any health risk from the products. Food minister David Heath said people should not throw away frozen meat products and carry on eating meat. The government will tell people not to eat meat if the meat is not safe.
