13. 难度：困难

When I was fourteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad (Like many English children, I had often been to France). So when I went to America I thought I would have a nice easy holiday without any language problem.

How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to tell my American friend Danny that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.

“Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”

“Well, that’s nice,” he said, “Are you getting married? But aren’t you too young?”

“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied, “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell him I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there is a phone box?”

“Oh,” he said, “there is a phone downstairs.”

When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.

“Don’t worry,” he said to me, “I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which Americans use differently in meaning from British people. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time, British and American people understand each other.”

14. 难度：中等

Several days ago, while I got online, my cousin’s QQ head popped out(弹出). We hadn’t seen each other for a few months, so I decided to start a talk with her. My cousin is studying in a college of our city. Her hobby is surfing the Internet. Every time I am on the computer, she is always online, listening to music or decorating her “personal space”. I like visiting her space. It’s creative and modern. I can’t design such a colorful web page as hers.

When I read the sentences she sent to me, I noticed that the Chinese characters had been changed, but I could still guess their meanings. I took a strong interest in this type of new characters. Further watching made me realize that they added some common Chinese radicals(部首) to the original characters, making them more vivid（生动）, a little like Japanese. My cousin said this gives new life to the Chinese language and culture.

It is true that the Internet has reinvented our language, but I still can’t accept this new change. Some Chinese characters have meanings in the shapes; one shouldn’t superficially （浅薄地）change them by adding an additional radical. So I advised my cousin to change her new idea and use standard characters to communicate. And she willingly accepted my advice.

1.The author’s cousin was a(n) ________.

A. engineer       B. teacher        C. model          D. student

2.The author would like to visit his cousin’s space _________.

A. because he wants to design a web page

B. because the music is well worth listening to

C. because it is very creative and modern

D. because it is the best one on the Internet

3.The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________.

A. the Internet may have changed the Chinese characters

B. all the Chinese people have learned a lot from the Internet

C. the QQ message online is very useful to everyone

D. the writer doesn’t like send QQ messages

4.The underlined word “reinvented” in the passage means “_________”.

A. 摧毁        B.改良       C. 发现     D.生产

5.We can learn from this passage that _________.

A. the writer is a teacher in a college

B. the writer can design a creative webpage

C. the Chinese characters have been changed into Japanese

D. the writer thinks people shouldn’t change our languages.
