Does technology pose a threat to the purity of Chinese language?
Many Chinese use instant messenger tools such as MSN or QQ, listen to music on MP3 players and log on the Internet using ADSL—most without knowing the literal Chinese translation of the abbreviations(縮略詞). But they don’t have to, as many English letters have become part of the local vocabulary.
A dozen abbreviations including GDP, NBA, IT, MP3, QQ, DVD and CEO are among the 5,000 most-frequently used words in the Chinese media last year, according to a report on the 2006 Language Situation in China.
The report said some parents are so keen on English letters that a couple tried to name their baby “@”, claiming the character used in email addresses reflects their love for the child. While the “@”is obviously familiar to Chinese e-mail users, they often use the English word “at” to pronounce it “ai ta”,or “love him”.
The study collected more than 1 billion language samples from newspapers, magazines, TV, radio and websites. The annual report is jointly compiled by the Ministry of Education and the State Language Commission.
“Nowadays, more and more English abbreviations are being used in Chinese, making them an important part of modern language,” said Hou Min, a professor at Communication University of China.
“The abbreviations have gained popularity because of the ease of usage,” Hou said. For example, DNA is much simpler to use than its Chinese version. “As more Chinese people learn foreign languages, especially English, in recent years, using abbreviations has become a trend among educated people,” she added.
Some language scholars fear such usage will contaminate(污染)the purity of Chinese and cause confusion in communication.
Which of the following is TRUE about the report on the 2006 Language Situation in China?
A．The report is compiled by the Ministry of Education alone.
B．The report is compiled every year.
C．The report is compiled every two years.
D．The report is based on over 1 billion language samples from websites.
Why does the author use the example of a couple who tried to name their baby “@”?
A．To show Chinese is badly polluted by English.
B．To express the couple’s love for the child.
C．To indicate “@”is a very common sign among the e-mail users.
D．To show some people are very enthusiastic over English letters.
Why are the English abbreviations becoming more and more popular according to the passage?
A．Because English is the most common language in the world.
B．Because using English abbreviations is a fashion.
C．Because English abbreviations are easy and simple to use.
D．Because English abbreviations are easy to pronounce.
What can we infer from the passage?
A．People should know clearly the exact Chinese translation of English abbreviations.
B．More and more Chinese people will use English abbreviations in the future.
C．Most parents like to give their child English names now.
D．Language scholars hate to use English abbreviations.

Steinbeck, John, 1902-68, American writer, born in Salinas, Calif., studied at Stanford. He is probably best remembered for his strong sociological novel The Grapes of Wrath, considered one of the great American novels of the 20th century. Steinbeck's early novels-Cup of Gold (1929), The Pastures of Heaven (1932), and To a God Unknown (1933)-attracted little critical attention, but Tortilla Flat (1935), an affectionate（親切的）yet realistic novel about the lovely, Spanish-speaking poor of Monterey, was enthusiastically received.
A merciful understanding of the world's poor was to be Steinbeck's mark. The novel In Dubious Battle (1936) defends striking immigrant agricultural workers in the California fields. In the novel Of Mice and Men (1937; later made into a play), Steinbeck again presents immigrant workers, but this time in terms of human worth and integrity（完好）－a theme he also used in The Moon Is Down (1942; later made into a play), about Norwegian resistance to the Nazis. The Grapes of Wrath (1939; Pulitzer Prize), while treating the hard situation of dispossessed Dust Bowl farmers during the 1930s, presents a universal picture of victims of disaster. Steinbeck's description of the westward migration of the Joad family, and their following struggles in the agricultural industry of California, is realistic and moving, and he presents his inferior characters with nobility.
Steinbeck's other works are diverse, ranging from the literal account of a voyage, The Sea of Cortez (1941; written with the marine biologist E. F. Ricketts),to a moral story, The Pearl (1948); to a French folk piece, The Short Reign of Pippin IV (1957). Love of his native land shines through the delicately nostalgic story "The Red Pony" in The Long Valley (1938). The somewhat emotional attitude of Tortilla Flat appears again in Cannery Row (1945), The Wayward Bus (1947), and Sweet Thursday (1954).
【小題1】 How many novels adapted into a play are mentioned in the passage ?_________.
| A．Nine | B．Seven | C．Four | D．Two |
| A．The Grapes of Wrath, is considered one of the great novels of this century. |
| B．Only in the novel In Dubious Battle Steinbeck referred to immigrant workers. |
| C．In The Grapes of Wrath, farmers living in Dust Bowl possess almost nothing. |
| D．All Steinbeck’s late works are related to his love of his native land. |
| A．did not draw much attention until Tortilla Flat was published |
| B．wrote all his novels in terms of human worth and integrity |
| C．presented poor but noble characters in all his novels |
| D．showed his love for his native land in The Short Reign of Pippin IV |
| A．works | B．life | C．fame | D．prize |

It's every student's dream to do well in the national college entrance examination and enter a good university. In the eyes of students and parents, a good university should have a high ranking, and the employment rate of its graduates should be high. But be careful! The employment rate they tell you might not always be true.
Recently, people created a Chinese phrase "bet jiuye", which has become popular on the Internet almost overnight across China. The word "bet" has a grammatical use in Chinese: it has a function similar to the passive voice in English. But now people often use it to express their doubts about something. Here, the phrase "bei jiuye" has the literal meaning of "to be hired", but people understand that it really means "to be hired without one's knowledge" or "be hired for jobs that may not exist at all".
The story of "bet jiuye" goes like this. Zhao Dongdong, a graduate of a university in Shanxi province, was surprised to find that he got a job from a company he never applied to, which he wasn't even sure was a real place. On his last day of graduation ceremonies, he was surprised to come across the employment contract.
"God! At that time, I had not landed a job yet, but they gave me an employment contract! I wondered who on earth signed the contract with the company. "When Zhao made a phone cull to the company to check it out, no one answered.
He was not the only one in his college who was "hired" for a job that did not exist. One of his classmates signed a contract with a company called Xi'an Beilin Industrial Corporation, which could not be found on the Interact either. In the end, it turned out that the college had faked the contract to make it seem like the employment rate for new graduates was higher than that. By doing this, the college could build up a "good" reputation that could help it attract new students.
"Bet jiuye" is just one of many hot "bet" words on the Internet. See some of them in "Bonus". The use of "bei" is a satirical (諷刺的) way for the public to express its helplessness and criticize abuses of power, some people say. People also use "bet" words to bring attention to social problems, hoping they will be noticed by authorities.
