  Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Interact 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 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!

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳答案,并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)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 “l(fā)esson” 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(聽(tīng)覺(jué)的) impressions in each other’s mind. Any sudden appearance of visual images(視覺(jué)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.

閱讀理解。
    Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum asking what "PK" meant.
    "My family has been watching the 'Super Girl' singing competition TV program. My little daughter asked
me what 'PK' means, 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 that
item. 
    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 puzzled father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students' composition
using Internet jargon (行話) difficult to understand.
    A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write up compositions with colloquial (口語(yǔ)的)
language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargon 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 love 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 sister ).
"FB" means "to corrupt". "KPM" is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds.
    While some specialists welcome Internet jargon as a new development in language, teachers are worried
that too much use of such language might lead students away from the "right" usages. Parents especially
worry that their children might not do well in language tests because of the use of Internet language. 
    Such as those mixed feelings are, the conciseness and liveliness of Internet language continues to attract
Internet users for making convenient communications.
    If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to ugly-looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog,
referring to ugly-looking male)is, then you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!
1. By writing the article, the writer tries to ______.
[     ]
A. explain some Internet jargon
B. suggest normalizing Internet language
C. draw our attention to Internet language use
D. support teachers and parents.
2. What does the writer think about the term "PK"?
[     ]
A. Fathers can't possibly know it.
B. The daughter should understand it.
C. Online game players must know it.
D. "Super Girl" shouldn't have used it.
3. According to the composition, the underlined word "corrupt" probably means "______".
[     ]
A. change the traditional form of something
B. often have good food or do something expensive
C. encourage someone to behave in a dishonest way
D. often have some sports to become strong
4. The example of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargon ______.
[     ]
A. is used not only online
B. contains many interesting expressions
C. is hard to understand by the elders
