It was an earthquake warning. Just a few seconds before the warning started, an earthquake had started more than 200 kilometers away.

Mrs. Zhang immediately got out of bed and ran downstairs to find a safe place. All over Chengdu, there are hundreds of speakers ready to give people early warnings and time to get out of danger.

Earthquake warning systems work because radio signals（信号）are able to travel faster than earthquakes do. If an earthquake starts, a warning is sent out by radio. Cities that are further away get a longer warning time.

According to earthquake research, just three seconds is enough time to save 14% of deaths from an earthquake.

“I’m a big fan of the NBA．” “The PM2.5 level is high today.” “What’s the Wi-Fi password for this restaurant?”

Do you often say or hear such sentences? Just to be clear: NBA is short for National Basketball Association. PM stands for particulate matter, and some say Wi-Fi stands for wireless fidelity.

Many of you will already know the meaning of these abbreviations(缩写词). Young people often mix them with Chinese language in their conversations. “I knew what the NBA was long before I heard its Chinese name,” said Zhang Hangyu, 14, from Hunan. “The English word is easy to remember.”

There has been some criticism(批评) of these words. Some people think they harm the purity (纯洁) of the Chinese language. “Some people worship(崇拜) the West crazily and use foreign words to show off,” language expert Xia Jixuan told People’s Daily.

Should we close the door to foreign words? “We can bring in foreign words and localize(将……本土化) them. That gives the Chinese language new life,” said Yao Xishuang, a language official from the Ministry of Education.

Now, experts are working on official translations of popular foreign words. For example, PM2.5. is“细颗粒物”in Chinese.

A．their Chinese translations                      B．their English names

C．online conversations                              D．the mired use of English and Chinese

33．What do we know from Zhang Hangyu?

A．Young people use foreign words to show off.

B．Chinese people worship the West.

C．English abbreviations are easy to remember.

D．Not all English words have Chinese translations.

34．Paragraph 4 is mainly about ________.

A．people’s worries about the mixed use of languages

B．the effects of using English abbreviations

C．what we can do to stop the mixed use of languages

D．why Chinese people like using English while speaking

35．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A．We should spread Chinese throughout the world.

B．Learning English is necessary for most people.

C．We don’t need to use any foreign words.

D．China is trying to localize foreign words.

Many Chinese primary and middle school students can’t do housework today and do not take such work seriously. So some are unable to cook or wash their own clothes when they enter college. The Ministry of Education (教育部) starts new curriculum standard (新课程标准) for housework education for students from Grade 1 to Grade 9, making it an important course that students must take at least once a week. The new standard asks students in Grade 1—2 to learn to sweep the floor, Grade 3—4 to learn to plant vegetables, and Grade 5—6 to have the skills of cooking two to three dishes. Students in middle school will learn to repair machines instead of paying someone to do it. This new standard is popular among many people.

Wang: We all know housework education is important. However, some students are unable to do the easiest housework, as their parents think they should spend more time on study. Some of them grow to be unwilling to do any kind of housework. Housework education should make students become more interested in labor (劳动), help them try different kinds of housework, and most importantly, correct the way they think about labor. The housework course will become an important way to make their personalities better.

Li: In order for students to grow up in an all-round way, primary and middle schools should add the housework course to their curriculum and help students learn and love housework. It is important to make the housework class interesting so that the students will really get some skills for daily life. For this reason, schools have to invite more professional (专业的) teachers to give classes instead of putting this new stress (压力) on parents and other teachers who are already busy with their daily work.

Zhang: Some people think students don’t have to waste time learning housework. If you want to have meals, you can order food through the Internet. And for machine repairs, you can ask for professional help. However, people with the skills of housework can go through daily life much more easily.

It is the first step in helping young students have a healthy idea of labor and be able to take care of themselves in daily life.

 B）请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为66-75的相应位置上。

On the night of one Mid-Autumn Festival, Yu played the qin on a boat. When he f    69     playing it, he heard a loud applause (掌声). It came from a young man—Zhong Ziqi. Yu i    70     him to come on board. They talked about m    71     together. He was quite s    72     at Zhong’s deep understanding, and he thought of Zhong as his “zhi yin.”
